Insights

Registration updated to include 2025 Form 10-K and to enable resale of 5,215,086 shares.

The filing is a post-effective amendment to a Form S-1 that updates disclosure by incorporating the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. It clarifies that selling stockholders may offer up to 5,215,086 shares of Common Stock for resale.

Cash‑flow treatment is explicit: the Company will not receive proceeds from resales but may receive proceeds if outstanding warrants are exercised. Timing is conditioned on the registration statement being declared effective and on selling stockholders’ decisions.

Liquidity and capital structure context shows concentrated dilution potential and near-term liquidity constraints.

The prospectus discloses $4.2M cash at December 31, 2025 and a net loss of $7.0M for 2025, and the Company reports 10,642,735 shares outstanding as of March 31, 2026. Several convertible and warrant instruments could materially increase share count if exercised or converted.

Company states it may receive proceeds from warrant exercises; the ultimate capital impact depends on holder actions and warrant exercise behavior disclosed in future transactions.

post-effective amendment regulatory
"Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement"
A post-effective amendment is an official update to a securities registration document filed after that document has become effective with regulators; it corrects, adds or replaces information about the securities, the company, or an offering. Investors care because it keeps the legal record current and can change what is being sold or the rights attached to shares — like getting a revised product manual after a launch that may affect value or use.
selling stockholders financial
"offering and resale by the selling stockholders identified herein"
Selling stockholders are existing owners of a company's shares who are offering some or all of their holdings for sale, often as part of a public offering or secondary transaction. For investors this matters because such sales increase the number of shares available to buy, can signal how confident current owners are about future prospects, and may put short-term pressure on the stock price similar to more tickets being released for a popular event.
incorporation by reference regulatory
"to elect to use incorporation by reference in such Registration Statement"
Incorporation by reference is a legal shortcut used in regulatory filings where one document makes another document part of itself by pointing to it instead of repeating its content—like telling readers “see chapter 3 of another book” and treating that chapter as if printed in the current file. Investors care because information included this way is legally binding for disclosure and can change the view of a company’s risks, obligations and value, so the referenced material must be reviewed to understand the full picture.
Series A Preferred Stock financial
"22,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock convertible into 7,213,115 shares"
Series A preferred stock is a type of ownership share in a company that gives investors certain advantages, such as priority in receiving profits or getting their money back if the company is sold or goes bankrupt. It is often issued during early funding stages to attract investors by offering more security than common shares. This stock matters to investors because it provides a safer way to invest while still holding potential for future gains.

For periods prior to May 30, 2023, all references to “Guerrilla RF” refer to Guerrilla RF Operating Corporation, a privately held Delaware corporation, and, our direct, wholly-owned subsidiary. On May 30, 2023, Guerrilla RF Operating Corporation was merged with and into Guerrilla RF, Inc. (formerly named Laffin Acquisition Corp.). Accordingly, for subsequent periods, all references to “Guerrilla RF” refer to Guerrilla RF, Inc. Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise indicates, references to the “Company”, “we”, “our”, “us” or similar terms refer to Guerrilla RF, Inc. together with Guerrilla RF Operating Corporation. 

 

This prospectus includes a number of technical terms.  Please see “Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations” beginning on page 31.

 

Overview

 

Guerrilla RF is a fabless semiconductor company based in Greensboro, NC. Guerrilla RF was founded in 2013 with a mission to employ RF semiconductor technology to deliver RF solutions to customers in underserved markets. Over the past several years, we have become a leader in developing high-performance MMIC products for wireless connectivity. We continue to target underserved markets and customers, delivering a range of high-performance MMIC products and associated technical support to a diverse set of customers that enable a more connected world.

 

We possess in-house design, applications, sales, and customer support functions as a fabless semiconductor company. We outsource the manufacture and production of our MMIC products to subcontractors, providing access to multiple semiconductor process technologies. Our primary external wafer foundries are located in Taiwan and Singapore, and our primary assembly and test supplier is located in Malaysia. We have also contracted with wafer foundries in the United States of America. We have produced and distributed in excess of 200 million products to over 300 end customers worldwide.

 

Our Industry

 

Global demand for ubiquitous, always-on connectivity has increased over the past several years, driving data traffic over wireless and wired networks. We believe that wireless and wired markets are undergoing multi-year technology upgrade cycles to keep pace with this demand.

 

Cellular operators have been migrating to 5G technology to improve efficiency, increase data throughput, reduce signal latency, and enable massive machine-to-machine connectivity. Because 5G networks operate on different frequencies (low-, mid-, and high-band spectrum) and coexist with prior cellular standards, we believe 5G deployments will increase the content opportunity for Guerrilla RF’s infrastructure RF products. As an example, over the past several years, automakers have added more entertainment and safety features to their automobiles due in part to customer demands and in part due to increased demand for electric vehicles (EV) and an increasing focus on the development of autonomous vehicle technologies. We expect this trend to continue to increase demand for RF semiconductors in modern automobiles. We believe this trend offers a growing content opportunity for Guerrilla RF’s automotive RF products.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic placed even more demand on the need for contactless and wireless communication in all aspects of human existence. Our technology helps meet that demand and facilitates rapid and contactless communication.

Merger Agreement

 

On October 22, 2021, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Guerrilla RF Acquisition Co., a corporation formed in the State of Delaware on October 20, 2021, merged with and into Guerrilla RF in a “reverse merger” transaction (the “Merger”) with Guerrilla RF continuing as the surviving corporation and as our wholly-owned subsidiary.

 

As a result of the Merger, we acquired the business of Guerrilla RF, a fabless semiconductor company based in Greensboro, NC. See “Description of our Business” below. At the time the certificate of merger reflecting the Merger was filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”), all of the outstanding shares of common and preferred stock of Guerrilla RF were converted into shares of our Common Stock. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, an aggregate of 2,025,000 shares of our Common Stock owned by the stockholders of Laffin Acquisition Corp. prior to the Merger were forfeited and canceled, and options to purchase 1,065,067 shares of Guerrilla RF’s Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger under Guerrilla RF’s 2014 Long Term Stock Incentive Plan were assumed and converted into options to purchase 3,146,366 shares of our Common Stock (in each case, expressed on a pre-stock split basis).

 

Following the closing of the Merger, Laffin Acquisition Corp. changed its name to Guerrilla RF, Inc.

 

See “Description of Capital Stock” below for more information. The issuance of shares of our Common Stock, or options to purchase shares of our Common Stock, to Guerrilla RF’s former security holders are collectively referred to as the “Share Conversion.”

 

The Merger was treated as a recapitalization and reverse acquisition for us for financial reporting purposes. Guerrilla RF is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes. Our historical financial statements before the Merger have been replaced with the historical financial statements of Guerrilla RF before the Merger in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and in future filings with the SEC. The Merger is intended to be treated as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The issuance of securities pursuant to the Share Conversion was not registered under the Securities Act, in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering, and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC thereunder. These securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirement, and are subject to further contractual restrictions on transfer.

 

Private Placement Offering (APO)

 

Following the Effective Time of the Merger, we sold 5,766,550 shares of our Common Stock pursuant to a private placement offering, at a purchase price of $2.00 per share in multiple closings through November 16, 2021. The private placement offering is referred to herein as the “APO.” Also in connection with the APO, our placement agent and its affiliates received 275,000 shares of our Common Stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 331,580 shares at an exercise price of $2.00 per share and a term of five years. The preceding share and per share amounts have not been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

 

The APO was exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC thereunder.

 

2022/23 Private Placement Offering

 

On February 28, 2023, we completed a private placement offering (the “2022/23 Offering”), selling approximately 7.1 million units to accredited investors—each unit comprising one share of Common Stock and one warrant to purchase one half (0.5) of a share of Common Stock —for $1.30 per unit (in each case, expressed on a pre-stock split basis). The warrants have an exercise price of $2.00 per share and a term of five years. Also in connection with the 2022/23 Offering, our placement agent, its selected dealer, and their affiliates received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,064,872 shares at an exercise price of $1.30 per share and a term of five years (in each case, expressed on a pre-stock split basis).

 

The 2022/23 Offering was exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC thereunder.

 

2024 Private Placement

 

On April 7, 2024, we completed the 2024 Private Placement, selling 1,465,000 shares of Common Stock and accompanying warrants to purchase 1,465,000 shares of Common Stock to 11 accredited investors, in an initial closing on March 28, 2024 and a subsequent additional closing on April 7, 2024. The aggregate price per share of Common Stock and accompanying warrant was $2.50.

 

The 2024 Private Placement was exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC thereunder.

 

2

 

2024 North Run Private Placement

 

On August 5, 2024, we completed the 2024 North Run Private Placement, selling (i) an aggregate of 22,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”), which have a stated value of $1,000 per share and are initially convertible into 7,213,115 shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”), and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,885,246 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.05 per share and a term of five-and-a half years. The aggregate gross proceeds from the 2024 North Run Private Placement was $22.0 million (before deducting transaction expenses). The 2024 North Run Private Placement was exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC thereunder.

 

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company

 

As a company with less than $1.235 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:

 

 

being permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure in our periodic reports and registration statements, including this prospectus;

 

 

reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;

 

 

not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as amended, on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting;

 

 

reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation arrangements in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements, including this prospectus; and

 

 

exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

We may use these provisions until the last day of our fiscal year in which the fifth anniversary of the first sale of our Common Stock pursuant to an effective registration statement occurs. However, if certain events occur prior to the end of such five-year period, including if we become a “large accelerated filer,” our annual gross revenues exceed $1.235 billion or we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt in any three-year period, we will cease to be an emerging growth company prior to the end of such five-year period.

 

We have elected to take advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and may elect to take advantage of other reduced reporting requirements in future filings. As a result, the information that we provide to our stockholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.

 

The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards until those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period and, therefore, we will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards. Until the date that we are no longer an emerging growth company or affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the exemption provided by Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) upon issuance of a new or revised accounting standard that applies to our financial statements and that has a different effective date for public and private companies, we will disclose the date on which we will adopt the recently issued accounting standard.

 

We are also a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million and our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company after this offering if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

 

Corporate Information

 

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware as Laffin Acquisition Corp. on November 9, 2020. Guerrilla RF Operating Corporation (formerly known as Guerrilla RF, Inc.), a fabless semiconductor company based in Greensboro, North Carolina, was founded in 2013, initially as a North Carolina limited liability company before converting to a Delaware corporation. On October 22, 2021, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Guerrilla RF Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation, merged with and into Guerrilla RF Operating Corporation in a “reverse merger” transaction (the “Merger”), with Guerrilla RF Operating Corporation continuing as the surviving entity and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guerrilla RF, Inc. All of the outstanding shares of common and preferred stock of Guerrilla RF were converted into shares of our Common Stock. The business of Guerrilla RF became our business as a result of the Merger. Following the consummation of the Merger, Guerrilla RF changed its name to “Guerrilla RF Operating Corporation.” Immediately after completion of the Merger, we changed our name to “Guerrilla RF, Inc.” On May 30, 2023, Guerrilla RF Operating Corporation was merged with and into Guerrilla RF, Inc.

 

Prior to the Merger, Laffin Acquisition Corp. was a “shell” company registered under the Exchange Act, with no specific business plan or purpose until it began operating the business of Guerrilla RF following the closing of the Merger.

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 2000 Pisgah Church Road, Greensboro, NC 27455. Our telephone number is (336) 510-7840. Our website address is www.guerrilla-rf.com. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not a part of this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information set forth in this prospectus, as well as information found in documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed below when considering an investment in our Common Stock and any risk factors that may be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, any related free writing prospectus, as well as the other information contained in this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement, and any related free writing prospectus. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the market price of our Common Stock could decline, and you could lose some or all of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations.

 

 

RISK FACTORS SUMMARY 

 

 

Our future capital needs are uncertain and we may need to raise additional capital to fund our operations and support our business growth, and such capital may not be available on attractive terms, if at all.

 

 

We have incurred significant losses in the past and will experience losses in the future. Our business and stock price may be adversely affected if we cannot make consistent progress toward future profitability.

 

 

We previously identified a material weakness and a significant deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting that have since been remediated. However, we can offer no assurance that these remediation steps will prevent any future deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

We have a limited operating history upon which investors can evaluate our business and prospects.

 

 

We operate in the highly cyclical semiconductor industry, which is subject to significant downturns that may negatively impact our results of operations.

 

 

Our sales have been concentrated in a small number of customers.

 

 

We are still developing many of our products, and they may not be accepted in the market or by significant customers.

 

 

Our operating results are substantially dependent on developing new products and achieving design wins. Therefore, our future revenues that fund our growth in operations, continuing product development, administrative costs, and sales and marketing efforts are highly dependent on winning slots for our new product offerings.

 

 

We depend heavily on a single electronics distribution company to augment the reach of our field sales team and stock our products for a quick fulfillment of orders to numerous end users of our products. Therefore, any disruption of this relationship would result in a significant loss of sales to the extensive market participants with whom we place our products. Furthermore, any disruption of our relationship with this distributor could result in their default in a large portion of our accounts receivable, which can often exceed 40% of total commercial receivables due to us.

 

 

We depend heavily on third parties, especially in our supply chain. Therefore, any disruption in our third-party supply chain relationships, either due to their constraints or their respective decision to suspend materials delivery, would adversely affect our ability to make products and execute sales orders. We may not be able to recover from any disruption that lasts a significant period of time.

 

5

 

 

We sell to several large companies with considerable bargaining power, which may require us to agree to terms and conditions that could harm our business or ability to recognize revenues.

 

 

We face risks related to sales through independent sales representatives and distributors.

 

 

If we experience poor manufacturing yields, our operating results may suffer.

 

 

We are subject to inventory risks and costs because we build our products based on anticipated customer orders and forecasts often before receiving purchase orders for the products.

 

 

We operate in a very competitive industry and must continue to innovate.

     
 

Unfavorable changes in interest rates, pricing of certain precious metals, utility rates, and foreign currency exchange rates may adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations.

 

 

Failure to retain and recruit essential engineering, operations, sales/marketing, and administrative talent could negatively impact our business and financial results.

 

 

Litigation or legal proceedings could expose us to significant liabilities, occupy a considerable amount of our management’s time and attention, and damage our reputation.

 

 

We rely on our intellectual property and copyrighted designs. As a result, we may not be able to successfully protect against the use of our intellectual property by third parties. As a result, we may be subject to claims of infringement of third-party intellectual property rights.

 

 

We face risks from manufacturing and packaging our products by outside parties located in Taiwan, Singapore, the Philippines, and Malaysia. These risks may include quality failures, export and import complexities and disruptions, geopolitical issues, factory failures or closures, local or global laws violations, and sudden process manufacturing deviations.

 

 

Government regulation may adversely affect our business. Economic regulation in the People's Republic of China (the “PRC”) and other countries where we sell products could adversely impact our business and the results of operations. Changes in government trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs and export restrictions, have limited and could continue to limit our ability to sell or provide our products and other items to specific customers and suppliers, which may materially adversely affect our sales and results of operations.

 

 

Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise our proprietary information and expose us to liability, which would cause our business and reputation to suffer.

 

 

There is currently a limited market for our Common Stock, and there can be no assurance that a more liquid market will ever develop. Therefore, you may be unable to resell shares of our Common Stock at times, and prices that you believe are appropriate.

 

 

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, and, as a result, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on the appreciation of the price of our Common Stock.

 

6

 

 

Our international operations subject us to additional risks that can adversely affect our business results of operations and financial condition.

 

 

Our revenues are dependent on our ability to maintain and expand existing customer relationships and our ability to attract new customers.

 

 

If we fail to increase market awareness of our brand and products, expand our sales and marketing operations, improve our sales execution, and increase our sales channels, our business could be harmed.

 

 

The market price and trading volume of our Common Stock may be volatile and could decline.

 

 

Our Common Stock is quoted on an OTC Markets Group trading platform, the OTCQX, instead of a national exchange or quotation system. Accordingly, our investors may experience significant volatility in the market price of our stock and have difficulty selling their shares.

 

 

We have issued shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock, and may in the future issue additional shares of preferred stock, with terms that could dilute the voting power or reduce the value of our Common Stock.

 

 

North Run (defined below) and its affiliates’ ownership may limit or preclude other stockholders’ ability to influence corporate matters.

 

 

Because we became a reporting company under the Exchange Act by means other than a traditional underwritten initial public offering, we may not be able to attract the attention of research analysts at major brokerage firms.

 

 

We are an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company, and any decision on our part to comply only with certain reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies could make our Common Stock less attractive to investors.

 

 

We may face risks related to securities litigation that could result in significant legal expenses and settlement or damage awards.

 

 

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of us, which may be beneficial to our stockholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.

 

 

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish unfavorable or inaccurate research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

 

 

FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

 

Future sales and issuances of our securities could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause our share price to fall.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY

 

Our future capital needs are uncertain and we may need to raise additional capital to fund our operations and support our business growth, and such capital may not be available on attractive terms, if at all.

 

Our cash balance stood at $4.2 million on December 31, 2025; and we have recorded an operating loss of $4.7 million and a net loss of $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. While we reduced our operating losses to $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2025, generated a modest operating profit of $55 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2025, and generated positive operating cash flow of $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2025 and $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, we expect to continue to experience net losses and negative cash flows in the near term, as our Company grows. While we believe that our existing cash resources, together with available borrowings and amended debt terms, provide sufficient liquidity to fund operations for at least the next twelve months, we have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could spend our available financial resources much faster than we currently expect and need to raise additional capital to fund our operations and support our business growth. However, equity and debt financing might not be available when needed or, if available, might not be available on terms satisfactory to us.

 

Furthermore, if we issue equity securities to raise additional capital, our existing stockholders may experience dilution, and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders. For example, in August 2024, we sold to shares of Series A convertible preferred stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and warrants to purchase shares of our Common Stock, that collectively represented approximately 49.7% of our total outstanding shares of Common Stock based on our shares outstanding as of December 31, 2024, assuming full conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and full exercise of the warrants for cash. So long as NR-PRL Partners, LP and its affiliates collectively beneficially own at least 20% of the Conversion Shares underlying the preferred shares issued in 2024 (the “Buyer Ownership Condition”), we may not, without the consent of NR-PRL Partners, LP: create, authorize, or issue shares of capital stock that are senior or pari passu to the Series A Preferred Stock; incur aggregate indebtedness for borrowed money (subject to certain exceptions) in excess of $10.0 million; change our line of business; or amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws in a manner that adversely affects the special rights, powers and preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock. In addition, for so long as the Buyer Ownership Condition is satisfied, the Company may not, without the consent of NR-PRL Partners, LP, issue more than ten percent (10%) of its outstanding shares of Common Stock as of August 2, 2024 (subject to exceptions for stock plans and acquisitions). The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Common Stock as to distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, and holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will participate with the holders of the Common Stock on an as-converted basis to the extent any dividends are declared on Common Stock. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are also entitled to redemption rights under certain circumstances. The redemption rights and liquidation preferences assigned to holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, and any other repurchase or redemption rights or liquidation preferences we may assign to holders of preferred stock in the future, could affect the residual value of the Common Stock.

 

Debt financing, if available, may involve covenants restricting our operations or our ability to incur additional debt. Any debt financing or additional equity that we raise may contain terms that are not favorable to us or our stockholders. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us in the future, our ability to continue as a going concern, to support our business growth, and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited as we may have to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate some or all of our initiatives, which could harm our operating results. Ultimately, if we do not become profitable or secure additional financing in a timely manner, we will be unable to fund ongoing operations and pay our obligations as they become due, affecting our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We have incurred significant losses in the past and will likely experience losses in the future.

 

We have incurred significant losses in the past and recorded a net loss of $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, and $10.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $60.8 million and $53.8 million at December 31, 2024. Our business and stock price may be adversely affected if we cannot make consistent progress toward future profitability.

 

Our ability to be profitable in the future depends upon continued demand for our products from existing and new customers. Furthermore, further adoption of our products depends upon our ability to improve the quality of our products. In addition, our profitability will be affected by, among other things, our ability to execute on our business strategy, the timing and size of customer orders, the pricing and costs of our products, competitive offerings, macroeconomic conditions affecting the semiconductor industry, and the extent to which we invest in sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative resources.

 

If we fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately and timely.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Our management is likewise required, on a quarterly basis, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and to disclose any changes and material weaknesses identified through such evaluation in those internal controls. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the Company’s financial reporting.

 

We previously identified material weaknesses and a significant deficiency that have since been remediated. We have implemented measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. However, we can offer no assurance that these remediation steps will prevent any future deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Any failure to maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting could adversely impact our ability to report our financial position and results from operations on a timely and accurate basis, which in turn could harm our business, impair investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, impair our access to the capital markets, cause the price of our Common Stock to decline and subject us to higher risk of shareholder litigation.

Market and economic conditions may negatively impact our business, financial condition, and share price.

 

A general slowdown in the global economy or in a particular region or industry, other unfavorable changes in economic conditions, such as inflation, higher interest rates, tightening of the credit markets, recession or slowing growth, or an increase in trade tensions with U.S. trading partners could negatively impact our business, financial condition and liquidity. Our general business strategy may be adversely affected by any such economic downturns, volatile business environments and continued unstable or unpredictable economic and market conditions. If these conditions continue to deteriorate or do not improve, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult to complete, more costly, and more dilutive. Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy, financial performance, and share price and could require us to delay or abandon development or commercialization plans.

 

We operate in the highly cyclical semiconductor industry, which is subject to significant downturns that may negatively impact our results of operations.

 

The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical and is characterized by constant and rapid technological change and price erosion, evolving technical standards, short product life cycles (for semiconductors and for the end-user products in which they are used) and wide fluctuations in product supply and demand. From time to time, these and other factors, together with changes in general economic conditions, cause significant upturns and downturns in the industry in general and in our business in particular. Periods of industry downturns have been characterized by diminished demand for end-user products, high inventory levels, underutilization of manufacturing capacity, changes in revenue mix and accelerated erosion of average selling prices. We have experienced these conditions in our business in the past and may experience renewed, and possibly more severe and prolonged, downturns in the future as a result of such cyclical changes. This may reduce our results of operations. Current global macroeconomic conditions, including higher inflation and interest rates and uncertainty caused by the Russian-Ukraine war, Israel-Hamas war, sustained military action and conflict in the Red Sea, and trade tensions between the U.S., the PRC and other countries have led to weaker end-market demand and unstable supply chain. We continue to monitor these trends and uncertainties, and any decline in end-market demand and increase in inventory levels could negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations.

 

We base our planned operating expenses in part on our expectations of future revenue, and a significant portion of our expenses is relatively fixed in the short term. If revenue for a particular quarter is lower than we expect, we likely will be unable to proportionately reduce our operating expenses for that quarter, which would harm our operating results for that quarter.

 

We have a limited operating history upon which investors can evaluate our business and prospects.

 

We are an emerging commercial company that began commercial operations selling products in 2014. Since we base our expectations of potential customers and future demand for our products on only limited experience, it is difficult for our management and investors to forecast and evaluate our prospects and revenues accurately. Therefore, the proposed progression of our operations is subject to the risks inherent in light of the expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the growth of any new business, as well as those risks that are specific to our Company in particular. The risks include but are not limited to our reliance on third parties to complete some processes for the manufacturing and packaging of our products and the possibility that we will not be able to achieve design wins with our products. In addition, to successfully introduce and market our products at a profit, we must establish brand name recognition and competitive advantages for our products. There are no assurances that the Company can successfully address these challenges. If unsuccessful, the Company and its business, financial condition, and operating results will be materially and adversely affected.

 

We may not generate sufficient cash to service our current or future debt or fund capital expenditures. As a result, we may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our debt obligations and financing requirements, which may not be successful or on terms favorable to us.

 

Our ability to make scheduled payments on, or to refinance, our current or future debt obligations and to fund working capital, planned expenditures and expansion efforts depends on our ability to achieve profitability or raise additional funds, and on our financial condition and operating performance. However, our financial condition and operating performance are subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and specific financial, business, and other factors beyond our control. As a result, we cannot ensure that we will maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay our debt. For example, should our cash flows and capital resources be insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may face liquidity issues and be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, sell assets, seek additional capital, or restructure or refinance our debt. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service and other obligations.

 

Our operating results are substantially dependent on developing new products and achieving design wins. Therefore, our future revenues that fund our growth in operations, continuing product development, administrative costs, and sales and marketing efforts are highly dependent on winning slots for our new product offerings.

 

Our largest markets are characterized by high levels of competition from formidable market participants, and they are often much larger in size and have greater capacity than us. Therefore, to effectively compete in our markets, we must introduce new product solutions that satisfy customer demands for greater functionality and improved performance. However, it is possible that we may fail to provide such solutions in time for our end-user customers’ design cycles. In that case, we may experience a lack of growth that is central to our strategic plans or even suffer substantial decreases in our revenue by missing out on these design windows.

 

Our success depends on our ability to develop and introduce new products in a timely and cost-effective manner and secure production orders from our customers. The development of new products is a highly complex process, and we have experienced delays in completing the development and introduction of new products at times.

 

We participate in markets with a broad array of applications, which makes our ability to predict market requirements more challenging and consequently makes the definition and design of new products that address those requirements more difficult to ensure the future success of our business.

Our success at effective product development depends on several factors, including the following:

 

 

our ability to design products that meet industry requirements, costs, and performance levels, including specific customer product requirements;

 

our ability to introduce new products that are competitive and that we can offer at competitive prices for the functionality and performance delivered;

 

our ability to recruit and retain qualified product design engineers;

 

our ability to supply products that are highly reliable and free of defects;

 

our ability to meet industry and customer product ramps; and,

 

the success of our customers’ products in the market, which, in turn, determines the demand for our chips.

 

The industry and the markets in which we operate are highly competitive and subject to rapid technological change. Therefore, for our RF products to be competitive and achieve market acceptance, we need to keep pace with the rapid development of new process technologies.

 

The markets in which we compete are intensely competitive. We operate primarily in the industry that designs and produces semiconductor components for wireless communications and other wireless devices, which are subject to rapid changes in both product and process technologies based on demand and evolving industry standards. The markets for our products are characterized by:

 

rapid changes in customer requirements;

frequent new product introductions and enhancements;

continuous demand for higher levels of integration, decreased size, and reduced power consumption;

fluctuating pricing; and,

 

evolving industry standards.

 

 

Our R&D activity and resulting products could become obsolete or less competitive sooner than anticipated because of a faster-than-expected change in one or more of the above-noted factors. Therefore, for our products to be competitive and achieve market acceptance, we need to keep pace with the rapid development of new process technologies, which requires us to:

 

 

respond effectively to technological advances through the timely introduction of new technologies and products;

 

successfully implement our strategies and execute our R&D plan in practice; and,

 

implement cost reductions in the manufacturing of our products.

 

Many of our current and potential competitors have entrenched market positions and customer relationships, established patents, and other IP and substantial technological capabilities. Additionally, many of our competitors may have significant financial, technical, manufacturing, and marketing resources, which may allow them to implement new technologies and develop new products more quickly.

 

We are still developing many of our products, and they may not be accepted in the market or by significant customers.

 

Although we believe that our products provide advantages over existing MMIC products in the market, we cannot be sure that new products will achieve market acceptance. The successful development and market acceptance of our MMIC products will be highly complex and will depend on the following principal competitive factors, including our ability to:

 

 

comply with industry standards and effectively compete against current products;

 

differentiate our products from the offerings of our competitors by delivering MMICs that are higher in quality, reliability, and technical performance;

 

anticipate customer and market requirements, changes in technology and industry standards, and timely develop improved technologies that meet high levels of satisfaction among our potential customers;

 

maintain, grow and manage our internal teams to the extent we increase our operations and develop new segments of our business;

 

build and sustain successful collaborative, strategic, and other relationships with manufacturers, customers, and contractors;

 

protect, create or otherwise obtain adequate IP for our technology; and,

 

achieve strong financial, sales, marketing, technical and other resources necessary to develop, test, manufacture, and market our products.

 

If we are unsuccessful in accomplishing these objectives, we may not compete successfully against current and potential competitors. As a result, the market may not accept our future MMIC products.

 

In addition, Tier 1 manufacturers may be less receptive to adopting solutions from smaller companies such as the Company due to their desire to limit the expansion of their approved vendor lists. The Company could also face pressure from competitors who can provide more lucrative bundling options due to the breadth of their overall portfolio.

 

We depend on a large distributor and several large customers in the automotive and wireless infrastructure market.

 

A substantial portion of our product revenue results from sales to large suppliers in the automotive industry, which requires special performance and reliability requirements and stringent volume delivery demands. In addition, we rely heavily on the wireless infrastructure market, which, similar to our automotive customers, requires we reliably meet high-volume delivery schedules. Therefore, our future operating results will be heavily affected by the success of large automotive and wireless infrastructure customers.

 

Our three largest end customers collectively accounted for approximately 36% and 43% of our revenue for 2025 and 2024, respectively. We often service end customers through our largest distributor, who will ship to and bill directly for product shipments. The concentration of billings to this distributor as a portion of our total revenues was 65% and 77% for fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively. It is possible that demand for their customers’ products decreases materially, which could negatively impact our financial results.

We depend heavily on third parties.

 

We partner with a limited number of external suppliers and rely on them to fulfill our customers’ orders. These third-party suppliers perform complex manufacturing processes, including die processing, packaging, and test, tape and reel. The semiconductor industry has experienced supply constraints for specific items.

 

If these third-party suppliers fail to deliver our products on time, we will be unable to satisfy our customers’ orders, which will negatively impact our financial results, cash flow, and our ability to fund further product development efforts.

 

Our key suppliers commit to being compliant with applicable ISO 9001 quality standards; however, should they experience quality and reliability issues, this may delay shipments to our customers and negatively affect our reputation directly with customers and our reputation in the market, which could negatively impact our financial results.

 

We sell to several large companies with considerable bargaining power, which may require us to agree to terms and conditions that could harm our business or ability to recognize revenues.

 

Large companies comprise a significant portion of our current and target customer base. These customers generally have greater purchasing power than smaller entities and, accordingly, often demand more favorable terms from suppliers, including us. As a result, as we seek to expand our sales to existing customers and acquire new customers, we may be required to agree to terms and conditions that are more favorable to our customers, and that may affect the timing of our ability to recognize revenue, increase our costs, and harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Failure to satisfy such onerous terms may result in litigation, damages, additional costs, market share loss, and reputation loss. Additionally, these large customers may require that we agree to most-favored customer or exclusivity provisions concerning specific products that restrict our ability to do business with other customers causing us to increasingly rely on such large customers.

 

We face risks related to sales through independent sales representatives and distributors.

 

We sell a significant portion of our products through third-party distributors. We depend on these distributors to help us create end-customer demand, provide technical support and other value-added services to customers, fill customer orders, and stock our products. As a result, a material change in our relationship with one or more of these distributors or their failure to perform as expected could negatively impact our financial results.

 

Our ability to add or replace distributors for some of our products may be limited because our end-customers may be hesitant to accept the addition or replacement of a distributor due to advantages in the incumbent distributors’ technical support and favorable business terms related to payments, discounts, and stocking of acceptable inventory levels.

 

Using third parties for sales representation and distribution exposes us to many risks, including competitive pressure, concentration, credit risk, and compliance risks. Other third parties may use one of our distributors or sales representatives to sell products that compete with our products. We may need to provide financial and other incentives, such as higher commission rates, to encourage them to prioritize the sale of our products. Our distributors may face financial difficulties, including bankruptcy, which could harm our collection of accounts receivable and financial results. Violations of the FCPA or similar laws by our distributors or other third-party intermediaries could have a material impact on our business.

 

Failure to manage risks related to our use of distributors or other third-party intermediaries may reduce sales, increase expenses, and weaken our competitive position.

 

 

Business disruptions could harm our business and adversely affect our results of operations.

 

Our business could be disrupted by natural disasters, industrial accidents, cybersecurity incidents, telecommunications failures, power or water shortages, extreme weather conditions, public health issues, military actions, acts of terrorism, political or regulatory issues, and other man-made disasters or catastrophic events.

 

We carry commercial property damage and business interruption insurance against various risks, with limits we deem adequate, for reimbursement for damage to our fixed assets and the resulting disruption of our operations. However, this coverage likely would not wholly cover the negative impact on our business for any lengthy interruption, which could harm our Company in an unanticipated way and result in significant losses, a decline in revenue, and an increase in our costs and expenses. Disruptions from these events would likely require substantial recovery time and impact profits and cash flow in a significant manner. In addition, such business disruptions would adversely impact our relationships with our customers.

 

If our customers independently experience comparable business disruptions, they may reduce or cancel their orders, which may adversely affect our results of operations.

 

If we experience poor manufacturing yields, our operating results may suffer.

 

Our products are unique and fabricated using semiconductor process technologies that are highly complex. In some cases, we assemble our products in customized packages. Some of our products consist of multiple components in a single module and feature enhanced levels of integration and complexity. Our customers insist that we design our products to meet their same quality, performance, and reliability specifications. Our manufacturing yield is a combination of yields across the entire supply chain, including wafer fabrication, assembly, and test yields. Due to the complexity of our products, we periodically experience difficulties in achieving acceptable yields, particularly for new products.

 

Our end-user customers test our products once they assemble them into their products. The number of usable products that result from our subcontractor production process can fluctuate because of many factors, including:

 

 

design errors;

 

defects in photomasks (which are used to print circuits on a wafer);

 

minute impurities and variations in materials used;

 

contamination of the manufacturing environment;

 

equipment failure or variations in the manufacturing processes;

 

losses from broken wafers or other human error; and,

 

defects in substrates and packaging.

 

Although our supply chain partners and our engineering and quality groups constantly seek to improve our manufacturing yields, such efforts may encounter significant barriers to success resulting in less-than-optimal yields or losses that would directly impact profits and increase costs and lower cash flows.

 

11

 

For example, costs of product defects and deviations from required specifications include the following:

 

 

disposal of inventory or financial write-offs of inventory;

 

accepting returns of products;

 

providing product replacements at no charge;

 

reimbursement of direct and indirect costs incurred by our customers in recalling or reworking their products due to defects in our products;

 

travel and personnel costs to investigate potential product quality issues and to identify or confirm the failure mechanism or root cause of product defects; and,

 

defending against litigation.

These issues could negatively impact our market position and reputation with customers, resulting in long-term harm to our business and financial results.

 

We are subject to inventory risks and costs because we build our products based on anticipated customer orders and forecasts often before receiving purchase orders for the products.

 

To ensure the availability of our products for some of our largest end-user customers, we start manufacturing certain products in advance of receiving purchase orders based on forecasts provided by these customers. However, these forecasts do not represent binding purchase commitments, and we do not recognize sales for these products until they are shipped to our customers. As a result, we incur significant inventory and manufacturing costs in advance of anticipated sales. Because demand for our products may not materialize or may be lower than expected, manufacturing based on forecasts subjects us to heightened risks of higher inventory carrying costs, increased obsolescence, and higher operating costs. In addition, if product demand decreases or we fail to forecast demand accurately, we could be required to write off inventory, which would negatively impact our gross margin and other operating results.

 

We operate in a very competitive industry and must continue to innovate.

 

We compete with several companies primarily to design, manufacture, and sell RF solutions and discrete integrated circuits and modules. Increased competition from any source could adversely affect our operating results through lower prices for our products, reduced demand for our products, losses of existing design slots with critical customers, and a corresponding reduction in our ability to recover development, engineering, and manufacturing costs.

 

Many of our existing and potential competitors have entrenched market positions, historical affiliations with OEMs, considerable internal manufacturing capacity, established IP rights, and substantial technological capabilities. The semiconductor industry has experienced increased industry consolidation over the last several years, a trend we expect to continue. Many of our existing and potential competitors may have more significant financial, technical, manufacturing, or marketing resources than we do. As a result, we cannot be sure that we will compete successfully with our competitors.

 

Unfavorable changes in interest rates, pricing of certain precious metals, utility rates, and foreign currency exchange rates may adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations.

 

Any of these macro conditions could negatively impact our supply chain partners and the industry as a whole, which could materially decrease our profits and cash flow.

 

12

 

To compete, we must attract, retain, and motivate key employees, and our failure to do so could harm our business and our results of operations.

 

We must hire and retain qualified employees, develop leaders for essential business functions, and train and motivate our employees. Our future operating results and success depend on keeping critical technical personnel and management and expanding our sales and marketing, R&D, finance, and administration personnel. We do not have employment agreements with the vast majority of our employees.

 

We must attract qualified personnel. The competition for qualified personnel is intense, especially considering the size of our organization, which must compete with much larger companies for top talent. The number of people with experience, particularly in RF engineering, software engineering, integrated circuit design, and technical marketing and support, is limited. In addition, existing or new immigration laws, policies, or regulations in the U.S. may limit the pool of available talent. Changes in the interpretation and application of employment-related laws to our workforce practices may also result in increased operating costs and less flexibility in meeting our changing workforce needs. As a result, we cannot be sure that we will be able to attract and retain skilled personnel in the future, which could harm our business and our results of operations.

 

Litigation or legal proceedings could expose us to significant liabilities, occupy a considerable amount of our managements time and attention, and damage our reputation.

 

We may, from time to time, be a party to various litigation claims and legal proceedings. We will evaluate these claims and proceedings to assess the likelihood of unfavorable outcomes and estimate, if possible, the amount of potential losses. For example, our manufacturers’ failure to successfully manufacture products that conform to our design specifications and the U.S. Federal Communications Commission's ("FCC") strict regulatory requirements may lead to product defects and substantial costs to repair or replace these parts or materials, significantly impacting our ability to develop and implement our technology and improve our products’ performance. In addition, claims made or threatened by our suppliers, distributors, end-user customers, competitors, or current or former employees could adversely affect our relationships, damage our reputation, or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. The costs associated with defending legal claims and paying damages could be substantial. Our reputation could also be adversely affected by such claims, whether or not successful.

 

We may establish reserves as appropriate based upon assessments and estimates under our accounting policies in accordance with GAAP. We base our assessments, estimates, and disclosures on the information available to us at the time and rely on legal and management judgment. Actual outcomes or losses may differ materially from assessments and estimates. Actual settlements, verdicts, or resolutions of these claims or proceedings may negatively affect our business and financial performance. For example, a successful claim against us that is not covered by insurance or over our available insurance limits could require us to make significant damages payments and could materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

We may become subject to warranty claims, product recalls, and product liability claims that could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may become subject to warranty claims, product recalls, and product liability claims that could lead to significant expenses. In addition, although we maintain reserves for reasonably estimable liabilities and purchase product liability insurance, we may elect to self-insure concerning some issues, and our reserves may be inadequate to cover the uninsured portion of such claims.

 

Product liability insurance is subject to significant deductibles, and such insurance may be unavailable or inadequate to protect against all claims. If one of our end-user customers recalls a product containing one of our devices, we may incur material costs and expenses, including replacement costs, direct and indirect product recall-related costs, diversion of technical and other resources, and reputational harm. Our customer contracts typically contain warranty and indemnification provisions, and in some instances, may also have liquidated damages provisions relating to product quality issues. The potential liabilities associated with such provisions are significant, and in some cases, are included in agreements with some of our largest end customers. Any such liabilities may significantly exceed any revenue we receive from the sale of the relevant products. Costs, payments, or damages incurred or paid by us in connection with warranty and product liability claims and product recalls could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and the results of operations.

 

Impact of Product Demand on our Business

 

Our revenue, earnings, margins, and other operating results have fluctuated significantly and may fluctuate considerably in the future. If demand for our products weakens as a result of economic conditions or for other reasons, our revenue and profitability will be impacted. Our future operating results will depend on many factors, including business, political and macroeconomic changes such as trade restrictions and recession or slowing growth in the semiconductor industry and the overall global economy.

 

If demand for our products slows, our financial and operating results will be negatively impacted, thus impeding our ability to fund future product development efforts and, in extreme cases, negatively impacting our ability to finance normal operations without acquiring funds through credit or equity raises.

 

In addition, if our end customers experience spikes in demand far more than anticipated, our ability to respond effectively to such demand might be impacted. This type of demand surge could negatively impact cash flow (e.g., supply chain inventory requirements) in the short term and potential loss of credibility with the industry in the long term if we do not meet demands reasonably.

 

We are subject to high degrees of product demand variability. Even if we achieve a design win, our customers can delay or cancel a program without advanced warning, creating risk for inventory obsolescence, ineffective use of cash, and resources channeled to less-than-optimal business opportunities. The loss of a design win and failure to add new design wins to replace lost revenue and weakened customer demand would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and the results of operations.

 

We rely on our intellectual property portfolio and may not be able to successfully protect against the use of our intellectual property by third parties.

 

We rely on a combination of patents, trademarks, trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures, and licensing arrangements to protect our intellectual property rights. We cannot be sure that patents will be issued from any pending applications or that patents will be issued in all countries where we can sell our products. Further, we cannot be sure that any claims allowed from pending applications will be of sufficient scope or strength to provide meaningful protection against our competitors. Our competitors may also be able to design around our patents.

 

The laws of some countries in which we develop, manufacture, or sell our products may not protect our products or intellectual property rights to the same extent as U.S. laws. This risk increases the possibility of misappropriation or infringement of our technology and products. Although we intend to defend our intellectual property rights vigorously, we may not be able to prevent the misappropriation of our technology. Additionally, our competitors may independently develop non-infringing technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to ours.

 

We may need to engage in legal actions to enforce or defend our intellectual property rights. Generally, intellectual property litigation is both expensive and unpredictable. Our involvement in intellectual property litigation could divert the attention of our management and technical personnel and have a material, adverse effect on our business.

 

We may be subject to claims of infringement of third-party intellectual property rights.

 

Our operating results may be adversely affected if third parties claim that our products infringed their patent, copyright, or other intellectual property rights. Such assertions could lead to expensive and unpredictable litigation, diverting the attention of management and technical personnel. An unsuccessful result in such litigation could adversely affect our business, including injunctions, exclusion orders, and royalty payments to third parties. In addition, if one of our customers or a supplier to one of our customers is found to have infringed on third-party intellectual property rights, such a finding could adversely affect the demand for our products.

 

13

 

If our products contribute to a data security breach, we may lose current or future customers, our reputation and business may be harmed, and we may incur liabilities.

 

Our end-user customers use our products in a wide variety of ways. Although we do not control security features surrounding the use of our products by our end-user customers, our end-user customers’ security measures may not detect or prevent hacker interceptions, break-ins, security breaches, the introduction of viruses or malicious code, such as “ransomware,” and other disruptions that may jeopardize the security of information transmitted through an electronic pathway using our products. In addition, cyber-attacks and other malicious Internet-based activity continue to increase generally. They may be directed at either the electronic transmission pathway within which our end-user customers use our products or even our own corporate information technology software and infrastructure.

 

Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, exploit vulnerabilities, or sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not identified until they are launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques, patch vulnerabilities, or implement adequate preventative measures as we research and develop our products. In addition, certain of our end-user customers may have a greater sensitivity to security defects or breaches in electronic pathways using our products. As a result, any actual or perceived security breach or theft of the business-critical data of one or more of our end-user customers, regardless of whether the breach is attributable to the electronic transmission through one of our products, may adversely affect the market’s perception of our products. There can be no assurance that limitation of liability, indemnification, or other protective provisions in our contracts would be applicable, enforceable, or adequate in connection with a security breach, or would otherwise protect us from any such liabilities or damages concerning any particular claim. We also cannot be sure that our existing general liability insurance coverage and coverage for errors or omissions will continue to be available on acceptable terms or will be available in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims, or that the insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim. As a result, one or more large claims may be asserted against us that exceed our available insurance coverage, or changes in our insurance policies may occur, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements.

 

Furthermore, a party that can circumvent security measures or exploit any vulnerabilities in end-user customer systems using our products could misappropriate our end-user customers’ proprietary or confidential information, cause an interruption in their operations, damage or misuse their computer systems, misuse any information that they misappropriate, cause termination of our sales with those end-user customers, subject us to notification and indemnity obligations, litigation, and regulatory investigation or governmental sanctions, cause us to lose existing customers, and harm our ability to attract future customers. Any such breach could cause harm to our reputation, business, financial condition, and results of operations, and we may incur significant liability. As a result, our business and financial position may be harmed.

 

Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise our proprietary information and expose us to liability, which would cause our business and reputation to suffer.

 

We rely on trade secrets, technical know-how, and other unpatented proprietary information relating to our product development and manufacturing activities to provide us with competitive advantages. We protect this information by entering into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, strategic partners, and other third parties. We also design our computer systems and networks and implement various procedures to restrict unauthorized access to the dissemination of our proprietary information.

 

We face internal and external data security threats. For example, current, departing, or former employees or third parties could attempt to improperly use or access our computer systems and networks to copy, obtain, or misappropriate our proprietary information or otherwise interrupt our business. Like others, we are also subject to significant system or network disruptions from numerous causes, including computer viruses and other cyber-attacks, facility access issues, new system implementations, and energy blackouts.

 

Security breaches, computer malware, phishing, spoofing, and other cyber-attacks have become more prevalent and sophisticated in recent years. While we defend against these threats daily, we do not believe that such attacks have caused us any material damage to date. Because the techniques used by computer hackers and others to access or sabotage networks constantly evolve and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate, counter, or ameliorate all these techniques. As a result, our and our customers’ proprietary information may be misappropriated, and we cannot predict the impact of any future incident. Any loss of such information could harm our competitive position, result in a loss of customer confidence in the adequacy of our threat mitigation and detection processes and procedures, cause us to incur significant costs to remedy the damages caused by the incident, and divert management and other resources. We routinely implement improvements to our network security safeguards, and we are devoting increasing resources to the security of our information technology systems. However, we cannot assure you that such system improvements will be sufficient to prevent or limit damage from future cyber-attacks or network disruptions.

 

The costs related to cyber-attacks or other security threats, or computer systems disruptions typically would not be fully insured or indemnified by others. As a result, the occurrence of any of the events described above could result in the loss of competitive advantages derived from our R&D efforts or our IP. Moreover, these events may result in the early obsolescence of our products, product development delays, or diversion of the attention of management and critical information technology and other resources, or otherwise, adversely affect our internal operations and reputation or degrade our financial results and stock price.

Our sales have been concentrated in a small number of end-user customers.

 

Our revenues have been concentrated in a relatively small number of large end-user customers, and we have historically derived a significant percentage of our total product revenues from a few end-user customers. For fiscal years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, our five largest end-user customers accounted for approximately 50% and 55% of our total product revenues, respectively. If one of our large end-user customers ceases or significantly reduces its product orders from us, or if we fail to generate additional product sales with these or similarly significant end-user customers, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

We expect that we will continue to depend upon a relatively small number of end-user customers for a significant portion of our total revenues for the foreseeable future. Therefore, the loss of any of these end-user customers or industry sector groups of end-user customers for any reason or a change of relationship with any of our key end-user customers could cause a material decrease in our total revenues.

 

Additionally, mergers or consolidations among our end-user customers could reduce the number of our end-user customers and could adversely affect our revenues and sales. In particular, if our end-user customers are acquired by entities that are not also our end-user customers, that do not use our products or purchase products from one of our competitors, and choose to discontinue, reduce or change the volume of product purchases from us, our business and operating results could be materially and adversely affected.

 

We depend on many technology providers, and if we cannot source solutions from them, our business and operating results could be harmed.

 

Our product design and development processes incorporate multiple software components obtained from licensors on a non-exclusive basis. Our license agreements can be terminated for cause. In many cases, these license agreements specify a limited term and are only renewable beyond that term with the licensor’s consent. If a licensor terminates a license agreement for cause, objects to its renewal or conditions renewal on modified terms and conditions, we may be unable to obtain licenses for equivalent software components on reasonable terms and conditions, including licensing fees, warranties, or protection from infringement claims. In addition, some licensors may discontinue licensing their software to us or support the software version used in our product design and development processes. In such circumstances, we may need to redesign our processes with substantial cost and time investment to incorporate alternative software components or be subject to higher technology costs. Any of these circumstances could adversely affect the cost and efficiency of our product research and development.

 

We may not be able to keep pace with changes in technology or provide timely enhancements to our products.

 

The market for our products is characterized by rapid technological advancements, changes in customer requirements, frequent new product introductions and enhancements, and changing industry standards. To maintain our growth strategy, we must adapt and respond to our end-user customers’ technological advances and technological requirements. Our future success will depend on our ability to: enhance our current products; introduce new products to keep pace with products offered by our competitors; increase the performance of our internal systems, particularly our research and development systems that meet our end-user customers’ changing requirements; and adapt to technological advancements and changing industry and regulatory standards. We continue to make significant investments in the research and development of new products. If our products become outdated, it may negatively impact our ability to meet performance expectations related to quality, time to market, cost, and innovation relative to our competitors. In addition, the failure to achieve product performance requirements of our new and existing end-user customers and sustain good customer satisfaction may adversely impact our business and operating results.

 

Any failure to offer high-quality customer support for our products may adversely affect our relationships with our customers and harm our financial results.

 

Once our products are sold, our customers use our support organization to resolve technical issues relating to our products. In addition, we also believe that our success in selling our products is highly dependent on our business reputation and favorable recommendations from our existing customers. Therefore, any failure to maintain high-quality customer support, or a market perception that we do not maintain high-quality support, could harm our reputation, adversely affect our ability to maintain existing customers or sell our products to existing and prospective customers, and harm our business, operating results, and financial condition.

 

If we cannot attract and retain key personnel, our business could be harmed.

 

We must attract and retain highly qualified personnel to execute our business strategy. If any of our key employees were to leave, we could face substantial difficulty hiring qualified successors. We could experience a loss in productivity while any successor obtains the necessary training and experience. Although we have arrangements with some of our executive officers designed to promote retention, our employment relationships are generally at-will, and we have had key employees leave in the past. We cannot assure you that one or more key employees will not leave in the future. In particular, we compete with many other companies for semiconductor developers and other skilled engineering, marketing, sales, and operations professionals, and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining the professionals we need. We have, from time to time in the past, experienced, and we expect to continue to experience in the future, difficulty in hiring and difficulty in retaining highly skilled employees with appropriate qualifications. In particular, we have experienced a competitive hiring environment in the Greater Triad Area, where we are headquartered in North Carolina. Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced personnel have greater resources than we do. In addition, in making employment decisions, job candidates often consider the value of the equity incentives they are to receive in connection with their employment. If we and our third-party service providers experience difficulty recruiting and retaining qualified personnel, our business may be adversely affected. If the price of our stock declines or experiences significant volatility, our ability to attract or retain key employees will be adversely affected. We intend to continue to hire additional highly qualified personnel, including research and development and operational personnel. Still, we may not be able to attract, assimilate, or retain qualified personnel in the future. Any failure to attract, integrate, motivate, and retain these employees could harm our business.

 

Our revenues and operating results have fluctuated and are likely to continue to fluctuate, making our quarterly results difficult to predict, which may cause us to miss analyst expectations and may cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.

 

15

 

Our operating results have been and may continue to be difficult to predict, even in the near term, and are likely to fluctuate due to various factors, many of which are outside of our control.

 

Comparisons of our revenues and operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful. You should not rely on our past results to indicate our future performance. Each of the following factors, among others, could cause our operating results to fluctuate from quarter to quarter:

 

•the financial health of our customers;

•occurrence of technological advances and potential effects on our business and operations;

•market acceptance and adoption of our products;

•changes in the regulatory environment affecting our customers;

•our ability to expand our sales and marketing operations;

•our ability to successfully integrate any acquired businesses, technologies, or assets;

•the announcement of new significant contracts or customer relationships;

•the procurement cycles of our customers and the length of our sales cycles;

•changes in end-user customer integration of our products into their business needs;

•variations in the number of new customers booked in a prior quarter, but not delivered until later quarters;

•our mix of products and royalty revenues;

•new competitive product launches by our end-user customers that negatively impact sales or our sales cycle;

•pricing, including discounts by us or our competitors;

•our ability to successfully sell our products in a timely manner;

•our ability to forecast demand and manage lead times for the recruitment and training of required personnel;

•our ability to develop and introduce new products and features to existing products that achieve market acceptance;

•the announcement of a new product, which may cause sales cycles to lengthen;

•federal or state government shutdowns; and,

•future accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting policies.

 

If we fail to offer high-quality products and support for any of our products, our operating results and our ability to sell those products in the future will be harmed.

 

Our ability to sell our products depends on our product support team providing high-quality support. Once our products are integrated into an end-user customer’s planned use, the end-user customer typically depends on our product support team to help resolve technical issues, if they develop, and assist in optimizing the use of our products. If we do not effectively assist our end-user customers in integrating our products, succeed in helping our end-user customers quickly resolve technical and other post-integration issues, or provide effective ongoing support services, our ability to expand the use of our products within existing end-user customers and to sell our products to new customers will be harmed. If integration of our products is deemed unsatisfactory, we may incur significant costs to attain and sustain end-user customer satisfaction or, in extreme cases, our end-user customers may choose not to use our products. In addition, as we hire new engineering personnel, we may inadvertently hire underperforming people who will have to be replaced, or fail to effectively train such employees, leading in some instances to slower growth, additional costs, and poor customer relations.

 

As we continue to pursue opportunities for larger sales volumes that have greater technical complexity or involve the integration of our untested products, we may experience a more extended time for our products to be integrated. As a result, our product sales revenue may be delayed. Additionally, as we enter agreements with new and existing customers for larger and more complex sales, we have been, and may continue to be, required to agree to end-user customer acceptance and cancellation clauses. With acceptance clauses, delays may occur in obtaining end-user customer acceptance regardless of the quality of our products and may cause us to defer revenue recognition where such acceptance provisions are substantive in nature, or they may require us to incur additional costs to obtain such end-user customer acceptance. Cancellation clauses may result in a customer canceling an order for products, impacting our revenues.

 

Our sales cycles can be lengthy, and it is difficult for us to predict when or if sales will occur.

 

Our sales efforts are often targeted at larger end-user customers and distributors. As a result, we face higher costs, must devote greater sales support to individual customers, have longer sales cycles, and have less predictability in completing some of our sales. Also, sales to large end-user customers and distributors often require us to provide greater levels of education regarding the use and benefits of our products. Our sales cycle length could be 12 to 24 months, depending on the end-user customer’s industry base and economic factors beyond our control, as measured from the point of initial contact with a potential customer to the time a purchase order is signed.

 

We believe that our customers view the purchase of our products as a significant and strategic decision. As a result, customers carefully evaluate our products, often over long periods with various internal constituencies. In addition, the sales of our products may be subject to delays if the customer has lengthy internal budgeting, integration, and approval and evaluation processes. As a result, it is difficult to predict the timing of our future sales.

 

16

 

We depend on our management team and our key sales and development, and engineering personnel. The loss of one or more key employees or groups could harm our business and prevent us from implementing our business plan in a timely manner.

 

Our success depends on our executive officers’ expertise, efficacy, and continued services. We have, in the past, and may in the future, continue to experience changes in our executive management team resulting from the departure of executives or subsequent hiring of new executives, which may be disruptive to our business. Any changes in business strategies or leadership can create uncertainty, may negatively impact our ability to execute our business strategy quickly and effectively, and ultimately be unsuccessful. In addition, the impact of hiring new executives may not be immediately realized. We are also substantially dependent on the continued service of our existing research and development personnel because of their familiarity with the inherent complexities of our products.

 

Failure to adequately expand and train our direct sales force and distributors will impede our growth.

 

We rely almost exclusively on our direct sales force and distributors to sell our products. We believe that our future growth will depend significantly on the continued development of our direct sales force and distributor relationships and their ability to manage and retain our existing end-user customer base, expand the sales of our products to existing end-user customers, and obtain new end-user customers. Because our products are complex and often must interoperate with complex technological functionality, it can take longer for our sales personnel and distributors to become fully productive. Therefore, our ability to achieve significant growth in revenues in the future will depend, in large part, on our success in recruiting, training, and retaining a sufficient number of direct sales personnel and growing our distributor base. New hires require significant training and may, in some cases, take considerable time before becoming fully productive, if at all. If we are unable to hire and develop sufficient numbers of productive direct sales personnel, and if these sales personnel are unable to achieve full productivity, sales of our products will suffer, and our growth will be impeded.

 

If we fail to increase market awareness of our brand and products, expand our sales and marketing operations, improve our sales execution, and increase our sales channels, our business could be harmed.

 

We intend to continue to add personnel and resources in sales and marketing as we focus on expanding awareness of our brand and products and capitalize on sales opportunities with new and existing customers. Our efforts to improve sales of our products will increase our sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expense, and these efforts may not be successful. Some newly hired sales and marketing personnel may become unproductive and have to be replaced, resulting in operational and sales delays and incremental costs. If we cannot significantly increase the awareness of our brand and products or effectively manage the costs associated with these efforts, our business, financial condition, and operating results could be harmed.

 

We must improve our sales execution to, among other things, increase the number of our sales opportunities and grow our revenues. We must enhance the market awareness of our products, expand our relationships with our distributor partners, and create new distributor partnerships to increase our revenues. Further, we must continue to develop our relationships with new and existing end-user customers and distributor partners and create additional sales opportunities to effectively and efficiently extend our geographic reach and market penetration. Our efforts to improve our sales execution could result in a material increase in our sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expense. There can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful. Further, as we increase our efforts to target additional industry bases and leverage distributor partnerships to drive sales, we may be unable to tailor our sales efforts to these strategies. If we are unable to improve our sales execution significantly, increase the awareness of our products, create additional sales opportunities, expand our relationships with distributor partners, leverage our relationship with existing distributor partners, or effectively manage the costs associated with these efforts, our operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

 

Our revenues are dependent on our ability to maintain and expand existing customer relationships and our ability to attract new customers.

 

The continued growth of our revenues depends partly on our ability to expand the use of our products by existing end-user customers and attract new customers. Our customers have no obligation to repeat purchases from us, and there can be no assurance that they will do so. We have had in the past, and may in the future, end-user customers discontinue using some of our products, which may impact such end-user customers’ decisions to continue to use any of our products.

 

If we cannot expand our end-user customers’ use of our products, maintain our repeat customer purchase rates and expand our customer base, our revenues may decline or fail to increase at historical growth rates, adversely affecting our business and operating results. In addition, if our customers experience dissatisfaction with our products in the future, we may find it more difficult to increase the use of our products within our existing end-user customer base, and it may be more difficult to attract new customers, or we may be required to grant credits or refunds, any of which could negatively impact our operating results and materially harm our business.

Our business is subject to the risks of earthquakes, fire, floods, and other natural catastrophic events and interruption by man-made problems such as power disruptions or terrorism.

 

Our corporate headquarters are located in the Greensboro, North Carolina area. Most of our third-party service providers are located in South Asia, a region known to suffer terrorism and natural disasters, including floods, typhoons, droughts, epidemics, or contagious diseases. A significant natural disaster, such as a fire or a flood, epidemic, or contagious disease, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, occurring at our headquarters or where our third-party service providers are located, could harm our business, operating results, and financial condition. In addition, acts of terrorism could cause disruptions in our business, the businesses of our customers and suppliers, or the economy as a whole. We also rely on information technology systems to communicate among our workforce, which is coordinated within our corporate headquarters in Greensboro, North Carolina. Any disruption to our internal communications, whether caused by a natural disaster, an epidemic or contagious disease, or by man-made problems, such as power disruptions, in the Greensboro, North Carolina area, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, or where any of our customers are located could delay our research and development efforts, or cause delays or cancellations of customer orders.

 

Our use of open-source and non-commercial software components could impose risks and limitations on our ability to commercialize our products.

 

Our product development utilizes software modules licensed under open source and other types of non-commercial licenses. We also may incorporate open source and other licensed software into our product development in the future. However, the use and distribution of such software may entail more significant risks than third-party commercial software, as licenses of these types generally do not provide warranties or other contractual protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the code. In addition, some of these licenses require the release of our proprietary source code to the public if we combine our proprietary product development software with open-source software in certain manners. This could allow competitors to create similar products with lower development effort and time and ultimately lose sales for us.

 

The terms of many open sources and other non-commercial licenses have not been judicially interpreted, and there is a risk that such licenses could be construed in a manner that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to commercialize our products. In such event, to continue offering our products, we could be required to seek licenses from alternative licensors, which may not be available on a commercially reasonable basis or at all, to re-engineer our products or to discontinue the sale of our products in the event we cannot obtain a license or re-engineer our products on a timely basis, any of which could harm our business and operating results. In addition, if an owner of licensed software were to allege that we had not complied with the conditions of the corresponding license agreement, we could incur significant legal costs defending ourselves against such allegations. If such claims were successful, we could be subject to substantial damages, be required to disclose our source code, or be enjoined from the distribution of our products.

 

Our reported financial results may be adversely affected by changes in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

GAAP is subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the SEC, and various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. A change in these principles or interpretations could have a significant effect on our reported operating results and financial condition and could affect the reporting of transactions already completed before the announcement of a change.

 

If our estimates or judgments relating to our critical accounting policies prove to be incorrect, our operating results could be adversely affected.

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience, and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities, and equity and the amount of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant estimates and judgments involve derivatives and warrant liabilities and the valuation of equity financing. Our operating results may be adversely affected if our assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from those in our assumptions, which could cause our operating results to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the trading price of our Common Stock.

 

Relations between the PRC and Taiwan could negatively affect our business and financial status and, therefore, the market value of your investment.

 

Taiwan has a unique international political status. The PRC does not recognize the sovereignty of Taiwan. Although significant economic and cultural relations have been established in recent years between Taiwan and the PRC, relations have often been strained. The government of the PRC has threatened to use military force to gain control over Taiwan in limited circumstances. A substantial portion of our manufacturing and packaging providers are located in Taiwan, and a material amount of our revenues are derived from the sales of our products manufactured and packaged in Taiwan. Therefore, factors affecting military, political, or economic conditions in Taiwan could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

A significant disruption in the operations of our manufacturing and packaging service providers in Taiwan, such as a trade war or political unrest, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and the results of operations.

 

Any disruption in the operations of our service providers in Taiwan or in their ability to meet our needs, whether as a result of a natural disaster or other causes, could impair our ability to operate our business on a day-to-day basis. Furthermore, since many of these third parties are located outside the U.S., we are exposed to the possibility of disruption and increased costs in the event of changes in the policies of the U.S. or foreign governments, political unrest, or unstable economic conditions in any of the countries where we conduct such activities. For example, a trade war could lead to higher tariffs. Any of these matters could materially and adversely affect our product sales and shipment timelines, business, and financial condition.

RISKS RELATED TO REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

 

Government regulation may adversely affect our business.

 

The effects of regulation may materially and adversely impact our business. For example, the FCC’s regulatory policies relating to radio frequency emissions, consumer protection laws of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, product safety regulatory activities of the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission, and environmental regulatory actions of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency could impede sales of our products in the United States. In addition, our customers and we are also subject to various import and export laws and regulations. Should we fail to comply with these regulations, we may be unable to produce and deliver these products to specific customers, and we may become subject to investigations, sanctions, mandatory product recalls, enforcement actions, disgorgement of profits, fines, damages, civil and criminal penalties, or injunctions.

 

Our business is also increasingly subject to complex foreign and U.S. laws and regulations, including but not limited to anti-corruption laws, such as the FCPA and equivalent laws in other jurisdictions, antitrust or competition laws, and data privacy laws, among others. In addition, foreign governments may impose tariffs, duties, and other import restrictions on components we obtain from non-domestic suppliers and export restrictions on products that we sell internationally. These tariffs, duties, or restrictions could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and the results of operations.

 

New or revised environmental rules and regulations or other social initiatives could also impact our product or manufacturing standards. Those rules, or similar rules adopted in other jurisdictions, could adversely affect our costs, the availability of minerals used in our products, and our relationships with customers and suppliers.

 

We may incur substantial expenses related to regulatory requirements, and any regulatory compliance failure could cause our business to suffer.

 

The wireless communications industry is subject to ongoing regulatory obligations and reviews. Maintaining compliance with these requirements may result in significant additional expense to us, and any failure to maintain such compliance could cause our business to suffer.

 

Noncompliance with applicable regulations or requirements could also subject us to investigations, sanctions, mandatory product recalls, enforcement actions, disgorgement of profits, fines, damages, civil and criminal penalties, or injunctions. An adverse outcome in such litigation could require paying contractual damages, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, and other costs. These enforcement actions could harm our business, financial condition, and the results of operations. If any governmental sanctions are imposed, or if we do not prevail in any possible civil or criminal litigation, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In addition, responding to any action will likely result in a significant diversion of management’s attention and resources and increased professional fees.

 

We are subject to risks from international sales and operations.

 

We operate globally with sales personnel in multiple countries, and some of our business activities are concentrated in Asia. As a result, we are subject to regulatory, geopolitical, and other risks associated with doing business outside the U.S., including:

 

 

global and local economic, social and political conditions and uncertainty;

 

currency controls and fluctuations;

 

formal or informal imposition of export, import or doing-business regulations, including trade sanctions, tariffs, and other related restrictions;

 

labor market conditions and workers’ rights affecting our manufacturing operations or those of our customers or suppliers;

 

disruptions in capital and securities and commodities trading markets;

 

occurrences of geopolitical crises such as terrorist activity, armed conflict, civil or military unrest or political instability, which may disrupt manufacturing, assembly, logistics, security, and communications and result in reduced demand for our products;

 

compliance with laws and regulations that differ among jurisdictions, including those covering taxes, intellectual property ownership and infringement, imports and exports, anti-corruption and anti-bribery, antitrust and competition, data privacy, and environment, health, and safety; and,

 

pandemics and similar major health concerns, including COVID-19, could adversely affect our business and customer order patterns.

 

19

 

Sales to customers located outside the U.S. accounted for approximately 42% of our revenue in 2025. We expect that revenue from international sales will continue to be a material part of our total revenue. Any weakness in these economies could decrease demand for products that contain our products, which could materially and adversely affect our business. The imposition by the U.S. of tariffs on goods imported from the PRC and other countries, countermeasures imposed by the PRC and other countries in response, U.S. export restrictions on sales of products to the PRC, and other government actions that restrict or otherwise adversely affect our ability to sell our products to customers in the PRC may have a material impact on our business, including our ability to sell products and to manufacture or source components.

 

As a company with material sales outside of the U.S., our results may be affected by movements in currency exchange rates as we grow our sales network. In addition, our exposure may increase or decrease over time as our foreign business levels fluctuate in the countries where we may have sales or operations. These changes could have a material impact on our financial results. The functional currency for our current operations and international sales is the U.S. dollar; however, that may expand to other currencies as we grow.

 

Economic regulation in the PRC and other countries where we sell products could adversely impact our business and the results of operations.

 

A significant portion of our potential customer base is located in the PRC and other countries outside of the U.S. For many years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid growth and wide fluctuations in inflation. In response to these factors, the Chinese government has, from time to time, adopted measures to regulate growth and contain inflation, including currency controls and measures designed to restrict credit, control prices, or set currency exchange rates. Such actions in the future, as well as other changes in Chinese or other non-U.S. laws and regulations, including efforts in furtherance of reducing dependence on foreign semiconductor manufacturers, could increase the cost of doing business in other countries, foster the emergence of foreign competitors, decrease the demand for our products in those countries, or reduce the supply of necessary materials for our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

 

Changes in government trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs and export restrictions, have limited and could continue to limit our ability to sell or provide our products and other items to specific end-user customers, which may materially adversely affect our sales and the results of operations.

 

The U.S. and foreign governments have taken and may continue to take administrative, legislative, or regulatory action that could materially interfere with our ability to export, re-export, and transfer products and other items in certain countries, particularly in the PRC. For example, the imposition of tariffs has not had a direct, material adverse impact on our business; however, the direct and indirect effects of tariffs and other restrictive trade actions are difficult to measure and are only one part of economic and trade policy.

 

Furthermore, we have experienced and may continue to experience restrictions on our ability to export, re-export, and transfer our products and other items to specific foreign customers and suppliers where exports, re-exports, or transfers of products require export licenses or are prohibited by government action.

 

Even if such restrictions are lifted, any financial or other penalties or continuing export restrictions imposed on our customers could have a continuing negative impact on our future revenue and results of operations. In addition, other foreign end-user customers or suppliers affected by future U.S. government sanctions or threats of sanctions may respond by developing new solutions to replace our products or by adopting our foreign competitors’ solutions.

 

The imposition of additional tariffs by the U.S. government on a number of countries, and threat of trade wars against foreign countries/regions have created even more uncertainties in international trade which may affect our business. We cannot predict what further actions may ultimately be taken concerning tariffs or other trade measures between the U.S. and the PRC or other countries, what products or entities may be subject to such actions, or what steps may be taken by other countries in response.

 

The imposition of tariffs could increase costs of the end-user products we supply that we may not be able to pass on to our customers, which could in turn cause a decrease in the sales of our products and materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. The loss of foreign customers or suppliers or the imposition of restrictions on our ability to sell or transfer products to such customers or suppliers due to tariffs, export restrictions, or other U.S. regulatory actions could materially and adversely affect our sales and business and the results of operations.

 

20

 

Our business could be affected by sanctions and export controls targeting Russia and other responses to Russias invasion of Ukraine.

 

The Russia-Ukraine conflict may adversely affect Guerrilla RF’s business. Currently, we do not have any supply chain partners located in Russia or Ukraine. Nor do we have any pending product sales or product shipments to Russian customers or, to our knowledge, any entities listed on the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control Sectoral Sanctions Identifications List . However, the related sanctions and other measures imposed by the European Union, the U.S., and other countries and organizations in response have led and may continue to lead, to disruption and instability in global markets, supply chains, and industries that could negatively impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We have taken steps to ensure our export control processes and controls observe enacted and evolving export sanctions imposed upon Russia, Belarus, and all restricted entities that have been identified by the United States government. Nevertheless, if we inadvertently make any product sales or shipments to Russian customers or any sanctioned entities, such non-compliance may have a material effect on our financial condition or operations.

 

Due to the unknown evolution of sanctions and export controls targeting the PRC and its ability to purchase and manufacture certain semiconductor chips, our business could be adversely affected.

 

On October 7, 2022, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security ("BIS") announced a series of regulations - issued as an interim final rule - amending the Export Administration Regulations to enhance export controls on a range of goods, software, and technology and restrict the PRC’s ability to purchase and manufacture advanced computing chips. The regulations imposed new controls on items relating to advanced computer and semiconductor manufacturing capabilities, broadened end-use restrictions, expanded the scope of foreign-produced items subject to licensing requirements, and added to Entity List prohibitions. We do not anticipate these regulations will have a material effect on our financial condition or operations. The production of our high-performance MMICs is not reliant on any manufacturing in the PRC, or, to our knowledge, on any companies that are owned by the PRC or Chinese investors. In 2025, we received less than 1% of all our sales from customers located within the PRC. RF semiconductors, such as what we design and produce, are not currently covered under the BIS restrictions. We have taken steps to ensure our export control processes and controls observe enacted and evolving export sanctions imposed upon the PRC and all restricted entities that have been identified by the United States government. Nevertheless, if we inadvertently make any product sales or shipments to any sanctioned entities, such non-compliance may have a material effect on our financial condition or operations.

 

We may be subject to theft, loss, or misuse of personal data by or about our employees, customers, or other third parties, which could increase our expenses, damage our reputation, or result in legal or regulatory proceedings.

 

In the ordinary course of our business, we have access to sensitive, confidential, or personal data or information regarding our employees and others that is subject to privacy and security laws and regulations. Therefore, the theft, loss, or misuse of personal data collected, used, stored, or transferred by us to run our business, or by our third-party service providers, including business process software applications providers and other vendors that have access to sensitive data, could result in damage to our reputation, disruption of our business activities, significantly increased business and security costs or costs related to defending legal claims.

 

Global and domestic privacy legislation, enforcement, and policy activity in this area are rapidly expanding and creating a complex regulatory compliance environment. For example, the European Union adopted the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which requires companies to comply with rules regarding the handling of personal data, including its use, protection, and the ability of persons whose data is stored to correct or delete such data about themselves. Failure to meet GDPR requirements could result in penalties of up to 4% of worldwide revenue. In addition, the interpretation and application of consumer and data protection laws in the U.S., Europe, and elsewhere are often uncertain and fluid and may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our data practices. As a result, complying with these changing laws has caused, and could continue to cause, us to incur substantial costs, which could harm our business and the results of operations. Further, failure to comply with existing or new rules may result in significant penalties or orders to stop the alleged non-compliant activity. Finally, even our inadvertent failure to comply with federal, State, or international privacy-related or data protection laws and regulations could result in audits, regulatory inquiries, or proceedings against us by governmental entities or others.

 

The semiconductor industry is heavily regulated. Therefore, any material changes in the political, economic, or regulatory semiconductor environment that affect the purchasing business or the purchasing practices and operations of organizations that utilize semiconductor industry products, or that lead to consolidation in our end-user customer industries, could require us to modify our products available to customers for purchase.

 

Our ability to grow will depend upon the economic environment of our end-user customer industries and our ability to increase the number of products that we sell to our customers. Our end-user customer industry bases often have different regulatory requirements, and they are subject to changing political, economic, and regulatory influences. As a result, changes in regulations affecting our end-user customers could require us to make unplanned modifications to our products, result in delays or cancellations of orders, or reduce demand for our products.

RISKS RELATED TO OWNERSHIP OF OUR COMMON STOCK

 

The market price and trading volume of our Common Stock may be volatile and could decline.

 

The market price and trading volume of our Common Stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our ability to meet our growth projections and expectations, quarterly operating results of other companies in the same industry, trading volume in our Common Stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting our business and the business of others in our industry. In addition, the stock market itself is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons related and unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our Common Stock. The market price of shares of our Common Stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to many risk factors listed in this section, and others beyond our control, including:

 

the realization of any of the risk factors presented in this prospectus;

 

actual or anticipated differences in our estimates, or in the estimates of analysts, for our revenues, results of operations, level of indebtedness, liquidity, or financial condition;

 

additions and departures of key personnel;

 

failure to comply with the requirements of the OTC Markets Group, or following our potential uplisting on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange;

 

failure to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or other laws or regulations;

 

changes to electronic communication and transmission laws governing the semiconductor industry;

 

future issuances, sales, resales or repurchases or anticipated issuances, sales, resales or repurchases, of our Common Stock;

 

publication of research reports about us, or the semiconductor industry generally;

 

the performance and market valuations of other similar companies;

 

broad disruptions in the financial markets, including sudden disruptions in the credit markets;

 

speculation in the press or investment community;

 

actual, potential or perceived control, accounting or reporting problems; and,

 

changes in accounting principles, policies and guidelines.

 

In the past, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their shares. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

 

22

 

Our Common Stock is quoted on an OTC Markets Group trading platform, the OTCQX, instead of a national exchange or quotation system. Accordingly, our investors may experience significant volatility in the market price of our stock and have difficulty selling their shares.

 

Our Common Stock is currently quoted on an OTC Markets Group trading platform, the OTCQX, under the ticker symbol “GUER.” The OTC Markets Group is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices, and volume limitations in over-the-counter securities. Trading in shares quoted on an OTC Markets Group trading platform is often thin and characterized by volatility in trading prices. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of readily available price quotations, the absence of consistent administrative supervision of bid and ask quotations, lower trading volume, and market conditions. As a result, there may be wide fluctuations in the market price of the shares of our Common Stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance, and this volatility, when it occurs, may have a negative effect on the market price for our securities. Moreover, the OTC Markets Group is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on one of its trading platforms is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a national quotation system or stock exchange. Accordingly, our stockholders may not be able to realize a fair price from their shares when they determine to sell them or may have to hold them for a substantial period of time until the market for our Common Stock improves.

 

We have issued shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock, and may in the future issue additional shares of preferred stock, with terms that could dilute the voting power or reduce the value of our Common Stock.

We are authorized to issue, without the approval of our stockholders, one or more series of preferred stock having such designation, powers, privileges, preferences, including preferences over our Common Stock respecting dividends and distributions, terms of redemption and relative participation, optional, or other rights, if any, of the shares of each such series of preferred stock and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as our board of directors (the “Board”) may determine. The terms of one or more series of preferred stock could dilute the voting power or reduce the value of our Common Stock. For example, the repurchase or redemption rights or liquidation preferences we could assign to holders of preferred stock could affect the residual value of our Common Stock.

In August 2024, we issued an aggregate of 22,000 shares of a newly established series of preferred stock designated as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share,” which have a stated value of $1,000 per share and are convertible into shares of Common Stock. Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on an as-converted basis with holders of shares of Common Stock. In addition, so long as NR-PRL Partners, LP and its affiliates collectively beneficially own at least 20% of the Conversion Shares underlying the preferred shares issued in 2024, we may not, without the consent of NR-PRL Partners, LP: create, authorize, or issue shares of capital stock that are senior or pari passu to the Series A Preferred Stock; incur aggregate indebtedness for borrowed money (subject to certain exceptions) in excess of $10.0 million; change our line of business; or amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws in a manner that adversely affects the special rights, powers and preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock.

The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Common Stock as to distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, and holders of Series A Preferred Stock will participate with the holders of the Common Stock on an as-converted basis to the extent any dividends are declared on Common Stock. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are also entitled to redemption rights under certain circumstances. The redemption rights and liquidation preferences assigned to holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, and any other repurchase or redemption rights or liquidation preferences we may assign to holders of preferred stock in the future, could affect the residual value of the Common Stock.

NR-PRL Partners, LP and its affiliates ownership may limit or preclude other stockholders ability to influence corporate matters.

NR-PRL Partners, LP and its affiliates held 41.3% of the voting power of our capital stock based on shares outstanding as of December 31, 2025. In addition, NR-PRL Partners, LP may acquire additional shares of Common Stock and voting power upon exercise of their warrants. For as long as NR-PRL Partners, LP and its affiliates hold a significant amount of our Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock, they will be able to exert significant control over us. This concentrated control may limit or preclude other stockholders’ ability to influence corporate matters for the foreseeable future, including the election of directors, amendments of our organizational documents, and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other major corporate transaction requiring stockholder approval. In addition, this may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or offers for our capital stock that stockholders may believe are in their best interest. NR-PRL Partners, LP and its affiliates may also determine to sell substantial amounts of our securities in one or more transactions, including to one or several private parties in negotiated transactions. In that case, those buyers may subsequently be able to exert significant control over us.

 

23

 

Because we became a reporting company under the Exchange Act by means other than a traditional underwritten initial public offering, we may not be able to attract the attention of research analysts at major brokerage firms.

 

Because we did not become a reporting company by conducting an underwritten initial public offering of our Common Stock, and because we are not listed on a national securities exchange, security analysts of brokerage firms may not provide coverage of our Company. In addition, investment banks may be less likely to agree to underwrite secondary offerings on our behalf than they might if we became a public reporting company by means of an underwritten initial public offering, because they may be less familiar with our Company as a result of more limited coverage by analysts and the media, and because we became public at an early stage in our development. The failure to receive research coverage or support in the market for our shares could have an adverse effect on our ability to develop a liquid market for our Common Stock.

 

We are an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company, and any decision on our part to comply only with certain reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies could make our Common Stock less attractive to investors.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups ("JOBS") Act, and, for as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may choose to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to emerging growth companies, including:

 

not being required to have our independent registered public accounting firm audit our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

 

reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and Annual Report on Form 10-K; and,

 

exemptions from the requirements of holding non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years. Our status as an emerging growth company will end as soon as any of the following takes place:

 

the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenues;

 

the date we qualify as a “large accelerated filer,” with at least $700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates;

 

the date on which we have issued, in any three-year period, more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; or,

 

the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of the completion of the first sale of our equity securities pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act.

 

We cannot predict if investors will find our Common Stock less attractive if we choose to rely on any of the exemptions afforded emerging growth companies. If some investors find our Common Stock less attractive because we rely on any of these exemptions, there may be a less active trading market for our Common Stock and the market price of our Common Stock may be more volatile.

 

Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this provision of the JOBS Act. As a result, we will not be subject to new or revised accounting standards at the same time as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. Therefore, our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

 

We are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Exchange Act. We may continue to be a “smaller reporting company” even after we are no longer an emerging growth company. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as our voting and non-voting Common Stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenues are less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our voting and non-voting Common Stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.

 

24

 

We may face risks related to securities litigation that could result in significant legal expenses and settlement or damage awards.

 

We may in the future become subject to claims and litigation alleging violations of the securities laws or other related claims, which could harm our business and require us to incur significant costs. Significant litigation costs could impact our ability to comply with certain financial covenants under our credit agreement. We are generally obliged, to the extent permitted by law, to indemnify our current and former directors and officers who are named as defendants in these types of lawsuits. Regardless of the outcome, litigation may require significant attention from management and could result in significant legal expenses, settlement costs, or damage awards that could have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of us, which may be beneficial to our stockholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.

 

Our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws contain provisions that could delay or prevent a change in control of our company. These provisions could also make it difficult for stockholders to elect directors who are not nominated by current members of our Board of Directors or take other corporate actions, including effecting changes in our management. These provisions:

 

establish a classified Board so that not all members of our Board are elected at one time;

 

permit only the Board to establish the number of directors and fill vacancies on the board;

 

provide that directors may only be removed “for cause” and only with the approval of two-thirds of our stockholders;

 

require super-majority voting to amend some provisions in our restated certificate of incorporation and restated bylaws;

 

authorize the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock that our board could use to implement a stockholder rights plan;

 

eliminate the ability of our stockholders to call special meetings of stockholders;

 

prohibit stockholder action by written consent, which requires all stockholder actions to be taken at a meeting of our stockholders;

 

prohibit cumulative voting; and,

 

establish advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our board or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at annual stockholder meetings.

 

In addition, our certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for: any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty; any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), our certificate of incorporation, or our bylaws; or any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

 

25

 

Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and State courts over all claims brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Our restated bylaws will provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act (“Federal Forum Provision”). Our decision to adopt a Federal Forum Provision followed a decision by the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware holding that such provisions are facially valid under Delaware law. While there can be no assurance that federal courts or state courts will follow the holding of the Delaware Supreme Court or determine that the Federal Forum Provision should be enforced in a particular case, application of the Federal Forum Provision means that suits brought by our stockholders to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act must be brought in federal court and cannot be brought in state court. While neither the exclusive forum provision nor the Federal Forum Provision applies to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all claims brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, actions by our stockholders to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder also must be brought in federal court. Thus, our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in any of our securities shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to our exclusive forum provisions, including the Federal Forum Provision. These provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum of their choosing for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, and other employees.

 

In addition, Section 203 of the DGCL may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company. Section 203 imposes certain restrictions on mergers, business combinations, and other transactions between us and holders of 15% or more of our Common Stock.

 

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish unfavorable or inaccurate research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

 

Our stock price and trading volume can be heavily influenced by the way analysts and investors interpret our financial information and other disclosures. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on our business. If few securities or industry analysts commence coverage of us, our stock price could be negatively affected. If securities or industry analysts downgrade our Common Stock or publish negative reports about our business, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our Common Stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price to decline and could decrease the trading volume of our Common Stock.

 

We do not anticipate paying dividends on our Common Stock, and investors may lose the entire amount of their investment.

 

Cash dividends have never been declared or paid on our Common Stock, and we do not anticipate such a declaration or payment for the foreseeable future. Any future determination about the payment of dividends will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our earnings, if any, capital requirements, operating and financial conditions, contractual restrictions, including any loan or debt financing agreements, and on such other factors as our Board of Directors deems relevant. In addition, we may enter into agreements in the future that could contain restrictions on payments of cash dividends. We expect to use future earnings, if any, to fund business growth. Therefore, stockholders will not receive any funds absent a sale of their shares of Common Stock. If we do not pay dividends, our Common Stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates. We cannot assure stockholders of a positive return on their investment when they sell their shares, nor can we assure that stockholders will not lose the entire amount of their investment.

 

FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholders ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") has adopted rules requiring that, in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative or low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives, and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA has indicated its belief that there is a high probability that speculative or low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. If these FINRA requirements are applicable to us or our securities, they may make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that at least some of their customers buy our Common Stock, which may limit the ability of our stockholders to buy and sell our Common Stock and could have an adverse effect on the market for and price of our Common Stock.

 

Future sales and issuances of our securities could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause our share price to fall.

 

Additional capital may be needed in the future to continue our planned operations, including research and development, increased marketing, hiring new personnel, commercializing our products, and continuing activities as a public company. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell Common Stock, convertible securities, or other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell Common Stock, convertible securities, or other equity securities in more than one transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and new investors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.

We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of any shares offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders. We may receive proceeds upon the exercise of outstanding warrants for shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus.

 

 

27

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain all available funds and future earnings to fund ongoing operations and future capital requirements. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our Board and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and such other factors as the Board deems relevant.

R&D expenses totaled $8.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, and $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. R&D activities in 2025 focused on developing and releasing 20 new products to bring our product catalog to a total of 183 products at the end of 2025.

 

Raw Materials

 

We utilize an outsourced manufacturing model, and our manufacturing suppliers purchase raw materials to support our requirements. Our suppliers typically use industry-standard raw materials, which reduces supply chain risk. In addition, we purchase passive components for use in modules that include tuning components.

 

We collaborate with global manufacturing partners to produce our products, leveraging international expertise and resources to enhance operational efficiency. However, our global supply chain is subject to various challenges that may impact the availability of raw materials, including trade restrictions, tariffs, and supply-demand imbalances.

 

Geopolitical tensions and policy changes could result in international trade restrictions, potentially limiting access to critical components or materials. To mitigate these risks, we work closely with our manufacturing partners to establish long-term strategic relationships that enhance supply chain resilience. These partnerships allow us to forecast product needs, maintain adequate manufacturing capacity, and ensure continuity in raw material availability. Additionally, we regularly evaluate and expand our supplier base, redesign products to incorporate alternative raw materials, qualify multiple wafer foundries, and extend or add supply commitments to increase flexibility within our supply chain.

 

The potential imposition of tariffs on imported goods presents another challenge, as it can increase costs and disrupt established supply chains. These additional costs may impact the availability and pricing of essential raw materials, requiring us to proactively manage sourcing strategies to mitigate financial and operational risks.

 

Furthermore, global supply-demand imbalances could lead to raw material shortages, particularly when demand outpaces available supply. These fluctuations may affect production schedules and overall manufacturing efficiency.

 

In anticipation of these potential challenges, we are committed to closely monitoring global supply chain dynamics and proactively working with our manufacturing partners to ensure stability. By maintaining strong supplier relationships, diversifying sourcing strategies, and implementing contingency plans, we have and continue to take steps to mitigate potential disruptions and sustain long-term operational success.

 

37

 

Manufacturing

 

We believe that our outsourced manufacturing strategy allows us to identify the optimum semiconductor process technology for each product while ensuring we pay competitive prices for manufacturing services. Our manufacturing suppliers are located in East Asia and the United States of America. We qualify additional manufacturing sites and sources of supply to reduce the risk of supply interruptions or price increases, and we closely monitor our suppliers’ key performance indicators. In addition, we seek to ensure that materials and manufacturing services are available from multiple sources. Our product manufacturing comprises a two-step process: (i) wafer fabrication; and (ii) packaging. Wafers are produced in wafer foundries by subcontractors and shipped to our assembly subcontractors for packaging. Most of our products are manufactured by placing die on a copper lead frame. We use bond wires to connect terminals on the package to the appropriate pads on the die. Material composition and wire length significantly affect the performance of the end product. Once a product has completed manufacturing, each device is RF-tested to ensure it meets published specifications. We transfer compliant devices to tape and reel -- the generally accepted method customers use in their downstream manufacturing processes.

 

We subcontract with multiple wafer foundries located in Taiwan, Singapore, and the United States of America. We currently utilize GaAs HBT, GaAs pHEMT, SOI, and GaN process technologies.

 

Manufacturing yields vary significantly based on many factors, including product complexity, performance requirements, and the maturity of the chosen manufacturing processes. To maximize wafer yields and quality, parameters are measured throughout the manufacturing process to ensure the systems are in control and produce the expected outputs. Ongoing reliability monitoring and numerous quality control inspections are also conducted throughout the production flow to ensure that we deliver high-quality products to our customers. Semiconductor fabrication is a specialized field requiring highly controlled and clean environments. As a result, the die on a wafer can become defective due to minute impurities, variances in the fabrication process, or defects in the masks used to transfer circuit patterns onto the wafers.

 

Our subcontractors’ manufacturing facilities are certified to the ISO 9001 quality standard, and select locations are accredited to additional automotive (IATF 16949) and environmental (ISO 14001) standards. These stringent standards are audited and certified by third-party certification bodies. The ISO 9001 standard is the international standard for creating a quality management system. IATF 16949 is the highest international quality standard for the global automotive industry and incorporates specific additional requirements for the automotive industry. ISO 14001 is an internationally agreed-upon standard for an environmental management system. Many of our key vendors and suppliers are certified to be compliant with these standards.

 

Our Customers

We design, develop, manufacture, and market products for leading domestic and international original equipment manufacturers and original design manufacturers. We also collaborate with leading reference design partners and design consultants globally.

 

Our products serve the needs of a wide variety of customers across multiple industries including automotive, infrastructure, SatCom, cellular boosters/DAS, and general catalog components. Within general catalog components our customers purchase our products for various RF applications including wireless audio, RFID, and Internet of Things. The majority of sales are made via independent distributions accounting for 93% of all revenue in 2025 and 96% in 2024.

Most of the products, services, and technologies that fall within the scope of the Export Administration Regulations are not specifically controlled for export and are classified as “EAR99”. As of December 31, 2025, none of our products were subject to export licenses and, as such, were classified as EAR99. As such, they fall under the U.S. Department of Commerce's jurisdiction and are not included in the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Control List. We are also required to adhere to the Entity List published by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (https://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/policy-guidance/lists-of-parties-of-concern/entity-list ).

 

We are also subject to import/export controls, tariffs, and other trade-related regulations and restrictions in countries where we conduct business. These controls, tariffs, regulations, and restrictions (including those related to, or affected by, United States-China relations, as discussed below) may impact our business, including our ability to sell products and manufacture or source components.

We maintain close relationships with our customers and provide them with technical support to help them anticipate future product needs. We actively seek their input to guide our product roadmaps.

 

Seasonality

 

Our sales are generated via standard purchase orders or specific agreements with customers. Historically, we have experienced seasonal fluctuations in the sale of our products driven by our customers' individual demands, oftentimes with the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year experiencing stronger customer sales demands.

 

40

 

Competition

 

We operate in competitive environments across all of our markets. Our end-user customers’ product life cycles can be relatively long compared to mobile phones or similar consumer products. For example, wireless infrastructure and automotive market product life cycles can be in the 5-10 year range compared to the 12-18 month range for mobile phones or similar products. Our ability to effectively compete is primarily determined by our ability to innovate with new products, improve existing products already on the market, maintain close relationships with our supply chain partners and key customers, and deliver new and improved products before our competitors. In addition, our competitiveness is affected by the quality of our customer service and technical support.

 

We compete primarily with Qorvo, Inc., NXP Semiconductors N.V., Skyworks Solutions, Inc., and MACOM Technology Solutions Inc.

 

Many of our current and potential competitors have entrenched market positions and customer relationships, established patents, and other intellectual property and substantial technological capabilities. The selection process for our products is highly competitive, and our end-user customers provide no guarantees that they will include our products in the next generation of their products. Additionally, many of our competitors may have significant financial, technical, manufacturing, and marketing resources, which may allow them to implement new technologies and develop new products more quickly.

 

Intellectual Property (IP)

 

Our IP, including patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets, is essential to our business, and we actively seek opportunities to leverage our IP portfolio to promote our business interests. We also actively seek to monitor and protect our global IP rights and deter unauthorized use of our IP and other assets. Such efforts can be complex because of the absence of consistent international standards and laws. Moreover, we respect the IP rights of others and strive to mitigate the risk of infringing or misappropriating third-party IP.

 

Patent applications are filed within the U.S. and may be filed in other countries where we have a market presence. On occasion, some applications do not mature into patents for various reasons, including rejections based on prior art. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect IP rights to the same extent as U.S. laws. We have two patents, each of which will expire in February 2034. Because of our rapid innovation and product development and the comparatively slow pace of patenting processes, our products could be obsolete before the related patents expire or are granted. However, we believe the duration and scope of our patents are sufficient to support our business, which as a whole is not significantly dependent on any one particular patent or IP right.

 

We periodically register federal trademarks, service marks, and trade names that distinguish our product brand names in the market. We also monitor these marks for their proper and intended use. Additionally, we rely on non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements to protect our interest in confidential and proprietary information that gives us a competitive advantage, including business strategies, unpatented inventions, designs, and process technology. Such information is closely monitored and made available only to those employees whose responsibilities require access to the data.

 

Rights in trademarks, service marks, and trade names do not have expiration dates. Of those rights, we have nine federal registrations at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The registrations have (and will have) technical expiration dates, but each is renewable indefinitely.

 

Human Capital

 

We believe that our employees are our greatest assets, and we must continue to attract, develop, retain, and motivate our employees to remain competitive and execute our business strategy. We strive to meet these objectives by offering competitive pay and benefits in a diverse, inclusive, and safe workplace. In addition, we provide opportunities for our employees to grow and develop their careers.

 

As of December 31, 2025, we had 50 employees including four international employees. By region, approximately 92% of our total employees are located in the United States and 8% in Asia. By primary job function, about 48% of our employees have engineering or technician roles, 10% are in operations, and 42% have sales, marketing, or other administrative roles. None of our employees are represented by labor unions or covered by collective bargaining agreements. We consider our relationship with our employees to be good.

 

Competitive Pay and Benefits

 

We provide compensation and benefits packages that we believe are competitive within our industry. We use a combination of compensation and other programs (which vary by region and salary grade) to attract, motivate and retain our employees, including stock-based compensation, retirement programs, unlimited personal time off, and health and wellness benefits and programs. In addition, we benchmark our compensation and benefits packages annually to remain competitive with our peers and attract and retain talent throughout our organization.

Employee Recruitment, Retention, and Development

 

We are committed to recruiting, hiring, retaining, promoting, and engaging a diverse workforce to serve our global customers. We have established relationships with professional associations and industry groups to attract talent proactively. In addition, we partner with universities to recruit undergraduate and graduate students for our internship program and entry-level positions. We also invest in employee development programs to provide employees with the training and education they need to help them achieve their career goals and build relevant skills.

 

We believe our unique corporate culture, competitive compensation and benefits programs, and career growth and development opportunities promote longer employee tenure and reduce turnover. We monitor employee turnover rates as our success depends upon retaining and investing in our highly skilled technical staff. As a result, our attrition rate has consistently been below the technology industry average.

 

Diversity

 

We value the uniqueness that an inclusive and diverse global team brings to our Company. Therefore, we are focused on creating an environment that leverages the perspectives and contributions of each employee.

 

Safety, Health, and Wellness

 

We prioritize safe working conditions. We are committed to an injury-free workplace and provide dedicated workplace training and leadership support to reduce or eliminate health and safety risks.

 

Facilities

 

Our corporate headquarters are located in Greensboro, N.C., where we lease approximately 50,000 square feet of office space under a lease agreement that commenced in the first quarter of 2023 when we took possession of the building. The lease term for our headquarters is 10 years and two months.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

We are not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.  We may become involved in lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business from time to time.

Corporate Governance

 

Board Composition

 

Our Board currently consists of nine members:  Ryan Pratt, Susan Barkal, David Bell, James (Jed) E. Dunn, Thomas B. Ellis, Todd B. Hammer, William J. Pratt, Gary Smith, and Virginia Summerell.

 

Classified Board of Directors

 

Our Board is divided into three classes of directors, designated Class I, Class II, and Class III, with staggered three-year terms. Ordinarily, one class of directors is elected at each annual meeting of stockholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective terms. Each director’s term will continue until the end of such director’s term and the election and qualification of his or her successor, or his or her earlier death, resignation, disqualification, or removal. Our current directors are divided among the three classes as follows:

 

 

Thomas B. Ellis, Ryan Pratt, and Gary Smith are the Class I directors.  Their terms will expire at the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders;

 

 

David Bell, Susan Barkal, and Todd B. Hammer are the Class II directors.  Their terms will expire at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders.

 

 

James (Jed) E. Dunn, William J. Pratt and Virginia Summerell are the Class III directors.  Their terms will expire at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders. 

 

Each director’s term continues until the election and qualification of his or her successor, or his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws authorize only our Board to fill vacancies on the Board. Any increase or decrease in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. This classification of our Board may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control of our company.

 

Director Independence

 

For independence purposes, we use the definition of independence applied by Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), given the possibility of our potential uplisting to Nasdaq. Under the rules of Nasdaq, a listed company’s board of directors must be comprised of a majority of independent directors. A director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of the listed company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

 

The Board has determined that all members of the Board other than Ryan Pratt and William J. Pratt are independent directors, as defined under applicable Nasdaq rules. In making such independence determination, the Board reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and current and prior relationships as they may relate to us and our management, including the association of any of our non-employee directors with the holders of more than 5% of our Common Stock.

 

Family Relationships

 

There is one family relationship to note among the directors and executive officers.  Ryan Pratt, our Chief Executive Officer, is the son of William J. Pratt, a director.

 

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

 

The Board adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “General Code”) which applies to all of our employees, officers, and directors, and the Executive Officer Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Officer Code”), which applies to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and our senior financial and accounting officers. The General Code outlines many standards, including those related to addressing compliance with laws, regulations, policies, and procedures; conflicts of interest; confidentiality; accuracy of financial statements and other records; and procedures for reporting violations of the General Code or any illegal or unethical business or workplace conduct. The Officer Code imposes additional standards on our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and senior financial and accounting officers concerning our accounting and financial reporting. Generally, the Officer Code requires those individuals to bring to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer and, in certain circumstances, the Audit Committee, any material information which comes to their attention that (i) affects disclosures made by the Company in our public filings; (ii) demonstrates significant deficiencies in our internal controls; (iii) concerns fraud or a violation of the Officer Code or General Code by management or employees who have a significant role in financial reporting, disclosure, and internal controls; or (iv) involves a material violation of law, including securities laws. Under the Officer Code, the Board or its designee, determines the appropriate actions to be taken in the event the Officer Code or General Code is violated by our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, or our senior financial and accounting officers, which actions may include termination of employment. The General Code and the Officer Code outline appropriate behavior for all employees. The full text of the General Code and the Officer Code are available on our website by going to www.guerrilla-rf.com, under the heading Investor Relations. We intend to disclose any amendments to our General Code and the Officer Code, or waivers of their requirements, on our website.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

 

The ultimate authority to oversee the business of the Company rests with the Board. Our executive officers are appointed by, and serve at the discretion of, our Board. The Company’s officers have responsibility for the management of the Company’s operations.

 

Our founder, Ryan Pratt, serves as Chief Executive Officer and as Chairman of the Board. The Board believes that it is in the best interest of the Company for Mr. Pratt to hold both positions at the present time due to our early stage of development and his unique knowledge of our history and goals, which we believe complement both the officer and chairman positions.

 

In 2025, the Board established the position of lead independent director to support the Chairman/CEO and create appropriate “checks and balances” in corporate governance. The Board appointed James (Jed) E. Dunn as lead independent director. The duties of lead independent director include: (i) providing an independent point of communications for principal stockholders of the Company to raise issues and concerns for consideration by the Board where contact with the Chairman/CEO or other senior executive officers of the Company has failed to resolve such issues or concerns or where such contact is inappropriate; (ii) providing an independent point of communications among members of the Board with respect to issues or concerns that members of the Board believe have not been properly considered by the Chairman or the Board as a whole; (iii) seeking the views of the Company’s non-executive directors to appraise the performance of the Chairman/CEO; (iv) convening and conducting executive sessions of the Board; (v) facilitating the Board’s selection of a successor Chairman/CEO in the event the Chairman/CEO resigns or otherwise ceases to serve as Chairman/CEO; and (vi) serving as a sounding board and adviser to the Chairman/CEO with respect to maintenance of good relationships among the members of the Board and the functioning of the Board.

Based upon the Company’s size and history, the Board considers that a combined Chairman/CEO role for Mr. Pratt and a lead independent director with a strong role and defined authorities is the optimum corporate governance structure for the Company.

 

One of the key functions of the Board is informed oversight of our risk management process. The Board administers its risk oversight function directly through the Board as a whole and through various standing committees of the Board that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. Significant risk oversight matters considered by the committees are reported to and considered by the Board. Some significant risk oversight matters are reported directly to the Board, including matters not falling within the area of responsibility of any committee.

 

Directors keep themselves informed of the activities and condition of the Company and of the risk environment in which it operates by regularly attending Board and assigned board committee meetings, and by review of meeting materials, and auditors’ findings and recommendations. Directors stay current on general industry trends and any statutory and regulatory developments pertinent to us by periodic briefings by executive management, counsel, auditors, or other consultants. 

 

The Board oversees the conduct of our business and administers the risk management function by: 

 

 

selecting, evaluating, and retaining competent executive management;

 

 

establishing, with executive management, our long- and short-term business objectives;

 

 

monitoring operations to ensure that they are controlled adequately and are in compliance with laws and policies; and

 

 

overseeing our business performance.

 

The Board has established committees to effectively divide risk monitoring responsibilities and capabilities. The Committees include Audit, Compensation, and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committees. The Audit Committee, charged by the Board with the primary oversight responsibility for risk management, also oversees the integrity of financial reporting, compliance with laws and regulations, and the structure of internal control. The Compensation Committee provides oversight of executive compensation, administers and implements the Company’s incentive compensation and equity-based plans, and establishes our overall compensation philosophy. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee recommends persons to serve as members of our Board, establishes principles for the Company, and provides leadership on corporate governance matters.

 

In the day-to-day management of risk, management has established and implemented appropriate policies, procedures, risk assessment tools, and a defined organization and reporting structure. With respect to the organization and reporting structure, a hierarchy has been created which divides responsibility along functional lines of authority and further divides responsibilities efficiently and effectively into specific processes.

 

The Board believes that the foundation for risk management is well-established and understood throughout the Company at the Board level and throughout the organization. 

 

47

 

Diversity of the Board

 

Although the Governance and Nominating Committee does not maintain a specific policy with respect to board diversity, the Board believes that the Board should be a diverse body. Diversity in experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds is just one of many factors considered by the Governance and Nominating Committee in considering director nominees.

 

Related Party Matters

 

The Audit Committee is charged with reviewing and approving all related party transactions of the Company and our directors, executive officers, and employees. All material facts of such transactions and the employee’s or the director’s interest are discussed by all disinterested directors, and a decision is made as to whether the transaction is fair to the Company. A majority vote of all disinterested directors is required to approve a related party transaction. The Board believes that all related party transactions with officers and directors are on terms comparable to those which would have been reached with unaffiliated parties at the time such transactions were made.

 

48

 

Board Committees 

 

The Board has three standing committees: the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, each of which, pursuant to its respective charter, has the composition and responsibilities described below. Members serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by the Board. The following table provides the current committee membership for each of the board committees.

Audit Committee. Each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate. The Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is independent within the meaning of the Nasdaq director independence standards and applicable rules of the SEC for audit committee members. The Board has also determined that Ms. Summerell qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under the rules of the SEC. The Audit Committee’s principal functions are to assist our Board in its oversight of:

 

 

overseeing the process by which the Board is informed regarding any significant legal and regulatory compliance risks facing the Company and coordinating with the Company’s legal counsel to ensure the Board receives regular legal and regulatory compliance updates from management;

 

 

selecting a firm to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements;

 

 

ensuring the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm;

 

 

discussing the scope, timing, and results of the audit with the independent registered public accounting firm, and reviewing, with management and that firm, our interim and year-end operating results;

 

 

reviewing the adequacy of the Company’s system of internal controls;

 

 

in consultation with management, periodically reviewing the adequacy of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures;

 

 

reviewing related-party transactions that are material or otherwise implicate disclosure requirements;

 

 

providing the audit committee report for inclusion in our proxy statement for our annual meeting for stockholders; and

 

 

approving or pre-approving all audit and non-audit services to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm.

 

A current copy of the Audit Committee charter is available on our website, www.guerrilla-rf.com, under the heading Investor Relations.

 

49

 

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. Our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee’s principal functions include, among other things:

 

 

recommending to our Board persons to serve as members of the Board and as members and chairpersons of the committees of our Board;

 

 

reviewing the size and composition of our Board and recommending to our Board any changes it deems advisable;

 

 

reviewing and recommending to our Board any changes to our corporate governance principles;

 

 

overseeing the process of evaluating the performance of our Board; and

 

 

advising our Board on corporate governance matters.

 

Our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee has a written charter and Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Governance Guidelines contain various provisions related to the functions of the Board, including (i) the composition and size of the Board; (ii) meeting attendance, meeting preparation requirements, and other responsibilities of directors; (iii) the composition of board committees; (iv) the role of the Board with respect to management; (v) director orientation and continuing professional development; (vi) periodic evaluations of corporate guidelines; and (vii) annual self-evaluations with the Governance Committee to determine whether the Board and its committees are functioning effectively and in compliance with the Governance Guidelines.

 

The Board has determined that each member of our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is an independent director as determined in accordance with Nasdaq’s director independence guidelines.

 

A current copy of the Corporate Governance Guidelines and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee charter is available on our website, www.guerrilla-rf.com, under the heading Investor Relations.

 

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things:

 

 

reviewing and approving the compensation of our chief executive officer;

 

 

reviewing and recommending to our Board, the compensation of our directors;

 

 

reviewing our executive compensation programs;

 

 

administering and implementing the Company’s incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans; and

 

 

establishing our overall compensation philosophy.

 

Each member of the Compensation Committee is a non-employee director as defined in Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.  The Board has also determined that each member of the Compensation Committee is also an independent director within the meanings of Nasdaq’s director independence standards and applicable SEC rules.

 

A current copy of the Compensation Committee charter is available on our website, www.guerrilla-rf.com, under the heading Investor Relations.

 

The Compensation Committee administers the Company’s 2014 Long Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”), which was adopted in 2014 and most recently amended in 2021. No additional awards may be made under the 2014 Plan. The Compensation Committee also administers the Company’s 2021 Plan (together with the 2014 Plan, the “Stock Incentive Plans”), which was adopted in 2021 to replace the 2014 Plan. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Stock Incentive Plans, the Compensation Committee, among other things, makes recommendations to the Board as to awards to be granted to employees and non-employee directors, the amount of the awards, and the terms and conditions applicable to each award. Additionally, the Compensation Committee has the authority to construe and interpret the Stock Incentive Plans, and prescribe, amend, and rescind the rules and regulations relating to the Stock Incentive Plans or any award granted thereunder.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

 

None of the members of the Compensation Committee is currently, or has been at any time, one of our officers or employees. In addition, none of our executive officers has served as a member of the Board, or as a member of the compensation or similar committee, of any entity that has one or more executive officers who served on our Board or Compensation Committee during fiscal 2025.

 

Non-Employee Director Compensation

 

In 2024, the Compensation Committee established a formal policy to provide a combination of cash and equity compensation to our non-employee directors for their service on our Board and its committees. The policy, which became effective on January 1, 2025, provides for Board members to receive annual cash compensation of $20,000 and equity compensation of $50,000 for service on the Board. Additionally, Board members receive cash compensation of $10,000 for each additional committee on which they serve, and each committee chair receives additional annual cash compensation of $12,500.

 

In March 2026, the Committee completed a thorough review of the policy and the Board approved changes to the policy, determining that the equity compensation component will take the form of stock options and adjusting the cash compensation component to provide that each non-employee director receive annual cash compensation of $20,000, with additional cash compensation for the lead independent director ($15,000), Chair of the Audit Committee ($15,000), Chair of the Compensation Committee ($10,000), and Chair of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee ($7,500). Under the updated policy, Board members will not receive any additional compensation for service on additional committees.

 

The following table shows, for the year ended December 31, 2025, the compensation earned by or awarded to the Company’s non-employee directors.

During 2025 and 2026, the Compensation Committee conducted a thorough review of how best to structure non-employee director compensation, and in particular equity awards, in order to more closely align the interests of the Company’s non-employee directors with the interests of the Company’s stockholders. As a result, the Board determined that in the future equity awards will take the form of stock options. As a result of this review and restrictions placed on the timing of equity awards under the Company’s Awards of Stock Rights Policy, no awards have yet been made to non-employee directors for their service in 2025; however, it is anticipated that in the near future awards will be made for 2025.

Employment Agreement

 

In 2020, we entered into an employment agreement with Ryan Pratt, our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board. The employment agreement superseded an earlier agreement and provides for an initial annual base salary of $240,000. The employment agreement does not have a fixed employment term and provides that Mr. Pratt is an at-will employee, meaning that either he or we may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Under the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Pratt is entitled to participate in all employee benefits to the extent generally available to our other similarly situated employees, including, without limitation, benefits such as medical, life insurance, 401(k) plan, and paid time off. The employment agreement also restricts him from competing against us, soliciting our customers or employees, or interfering with our relationships with our vendors, consultants, and independent contractors, in each case for a period of one year following a termination of employment. The employment agreement also includes invention assignment and confidentiality provisions.

 

Offer Letters

 

We have entered into offer letters with Messrs. John-Williams and Mason, and Ms. Chong. In addition, each of our named executive officers has executed our form of standard employee invention assignment and confidentiality agreement.

 

Kellie Chong

 

In 2022, we entered into an offer letter with Ms. Chong, our Chief Business Officer. This offer letter provided for an initial annual base salary of $201,600 and an award of 50,000 stock options. Ms. Chong is an at-will employee and does not have a fixed employment term. She is eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans, including medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance benefits.

 

Mike John-Williams

 

In 2024, we entered into an offer letter with Mr. John-Williams, our Chief Financial Officer. The offer letter provided for an initial base salary of $315,000, a performance-based bonus of up to 48% of his base salary, equity incentive awards, a $15,000 signing bonus and $55,000 for relocation assistance. Mr. John-Williams is an at-will employee and does not have a fixed employment term. He is eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans, including medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance benefits.

 

Mark Mason

 

In 2019, we entered into an offer letter with Mr. Mason, our Chief Operating Officer. This offer letter provided for an initial annual base salary of $201,600 and an award of 50,000 stock options. Mr. Mason is an at-will employee and does not have a fixed employment term. He is eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans, including medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance benefits.

 

Clawback Policy and Amendments to Employment Agreements

 

In 2024, the Compensation Committee adopted, and the Board ratified, the Excess Incentive-Based Compensation Recovery Policy (the “Clawback Policy”) in compliance with the final clawback rules adopted by the SEC and the listing standards, as set forth in The Nasdaq Listing Rule 5608 (the “Final Clawback Rules”). The Clawback Policy provides for the mandatory recovery of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation from current and former executive officers as defined in SEC Rule 10D-1 (“Covered Officers”) of the Company in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement to correct a material error, in accordance with the Final Clawback Rules. The recovery of such compensation applies regardless of whether a Covered Officer engaged in misconduct or otherwise caused or contributed to the requirement of an accounting restatement. Under the Clawback Policy, the Company may recoup from the Covered Officers erroneously awarded compensation received within a lookback period of the three completed fiscal years preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement to correct a material error. In March 2025, the Company entered into agreements with each of our named executive officers for the purposes of implementing compliance with the Clawback Policy.

 

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

 

We have entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Pratt and offer letters with Messrs. Mike John-Williams and Mason, and Ms. Chong, which provide for the following benefits upon certain terminations as provided below:

 

Ryan Pratt

 

If Mr. Pratt is terminated by us without cause (as such term is defined in his employment agreement), he will be eligible to continue to receive his base salary for 12 months following termination, in exchange for executing a customary release of claims and his continued compliance with the restrictive covenants contained in his employment agreement.

 

Kellie Chong, Mike John-Williams and Mark Mason

 

If they are terminated for any reason, they will not be entitled to any severance.

Stock Incentive Plans

 

The purpose of the Stock Incentive Plans is to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to employees, directors, and consultants, and to promote the success of our business.

 

2014 Plan

 

Effective October 22, 2021, participation in the 2014 Plan was frozen, and no new awards could be made under the 2014 Plan. The 2014 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options to purchase shares of our Common Stock, each at a stated exercise price. The 2014 Plan also allows for the grant of restricted stock awards, with terms as generally determined by the Compensation Committee (in accordance with the 2014 Plan) and to be set forth in an award agreement. We have not granted any shares of restricted stock under the 2014 Plan. As of December 31, 2025, options to purchase 202,149 shares remained outstanding under the 2014 Plan.

 

2021 Plan

 

The Company currently grants equity awards to our employees, directors, and consultants under the 2021 Plan, which was adopted in 2021. Under the 2021 Plan, the Company is permitted to award stock options and other types of equity incentive awards, such as restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), RSUs, performance awards, cash awards, and stock bonus awards. We initially reserved 37,166 shares of our Common Stock, plus any reserved shares not issued or subject to outstanding grants under the 2014 Plan on the effective date of the 2021 Plan, for issuance pursuant to awards granted under our 2021 Plan.

 

In addition, the number of shares reserved for issuance under our 2021 Plan increased automatically by 276,227 shares on January 1, 2022; 310,560 shares on January 1, 2023; 394,660 shares on January 1, 2024; and 512,024 shares on January 1, 2025. At the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, our stockholders approved the First Amendment to the 2021 Plan which canceled the “evergreen” provision and authorized an additional 1.5 million shares for issuance pursuant to the award of stock options. As of December 31, 2025, a total of 2,684,915 shares were reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan, including 2,110,524 shares available for future awards.

 

As of December 31, 2025, options to purchase an aggregate of 603,287 shares remained outstanding under the Stock Incentive Plans, with a weighted-average exercise price of $3.79 per share, and 173,253 RSUs were outstanding under the 2021 Plan.

 

The maximum permitted term of options granted under both the 2014 Plan and the 2021 Plan is ten years from the date of grant, except that the maximum permitted term of incentive stock options granted to an individual who holds more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our capital stock is five years from the date of grant. All awards under the 2021 Plan are subject to clawback or recoupment pursuant to any compensation clawback or recoupment policy adopted by the Board or required by law to the extent set forth in such policy or applicable agreement. Except in limited circumstances, awards granted under our Stock Incentive Plans may generally not be transferred in any manner prior to vesting other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

 

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification Matters

 

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains provisions that limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Consequently, our directors will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except 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;

 

 

unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL; or

 

 

any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws require us to indemnify our directors and officers to the maximum extent not prohibited by the DGCL and allow us to indemnify other employees and agents as set forth in the DGCL. Subject to certain limitations, our amended and restated bylaws also require us to advance expenses incurred by our directors and officers for the defense of any action for which indemnification is required or permitted, subject to very limited exceptions.

 

We have entered, and intend to continue to enter, into separate indemnification agreements with our directors, officers, and certain of our other employees. These agreements, among other things, require us to indemnify our directors, officers, and key employees for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and settlement amounts actually and reasonably incurred by such director, officer, or key employee in any action or proceeding arising out of their service to us or any of our subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request. Subject to certain limitations, our indemnification agreements also require us to advance expenses incurred by our directors, officers, and key employees for the defense of any action for which indemnification is required or permitted.

 

We believe that these provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons such as directors, officers, and key employees. We also maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

 

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors and officers for breaches 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 other stockholders. Further, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions.

 

At present, we are not aware of any pending litigation or proceeding arising out of any indemnitee’s service to us or any of our subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request, involving any person who is or was one of our directors, officers, employees, or other agents or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, for which indemnification is sought, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, executive officers, or persons controlling us, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Described below are all transactions occurring since January 1, 2024, in which the amounts involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000, and any of our directors, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of our Common Stock, or an affiliate or immediate family member thereof, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Other than as described below, there have not been transactions to which we have been a party other than compensation arrangements, which are described under “Executive Compensation.”

 

Convertible Promissory Notes 

 

In July 2023, the Company entered into note purchase agreements with certain accredited investors pursuant to which the Company issued unsecured convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $790,000 (the "Convertible Notes"), which were scheduled to mature on December 31, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”).  Of such aggregate principal amount, the Company issued Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $710,000 to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (in the principal amount of $80,000), Director William J. Pratt (in the principal amount of $50,000), and their family members (in the aggregate principal amount of $630,000).  Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $290,000 accrued interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum, payable at maturity, and one Convertible Note in the principal amount of $500,000 accrued interest at a rate of 16.0% per annum, payable at maturity.  The Convertible Notes provided that upon the issuance of equity securities pursuant to which the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of at least $2.0 million (the “Next Equity Financing”), the Convertible Notes would automatically convert into the same equity securities issued in such Next Equity Financing at a conversion price equal to the lowest per share purchase price of equity securities issued in the Next Equity Financing. Further, in the event of a change of control of the Company, each Convertible Note would, at the election of the holder, either be: (a) repaid in cash at an amount equal to the sum of (i) the outstanding principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest due on such Convertible Note plus (ii) an additional amount equal to 20% of such outstanding amount due; or (b) converted into shares of Common Stock equal to the outstanding balance of the Convertible Note (including any accrued but unpaid interest thereon) divided by $6.00 per share. The Convertible Notes automatically converted into equity securities in connection with the 2024 Private Placement, discussed below.

 

Salem Loan Facility

 

In, 2022, the Company entered into a loan facility with Salem (the “Salem Loan Facility” or “Facility”). The Salem Loan Facility provided financing to the Company in the aggregate amount of up to $8.0 million, with an initial advance of $5.0 million.  In addition to a 2.0% closing fee, the Company issued Salem 25,000 shares of Common Stock as consideration for the Facility.  The Company agreed to issue up to an additional 25,000 shares of Common Stock in the event Salem advanced the additional $3.0 million. 

 

On May 1, 2023, Salem made an additional advance of $1.5 million to the Company. At the same time, the Company agreed to increase the interest rate for the Salem Loan Facility from 13.0% to 14.0% per annum, with 11.0% payable monthly and 3.0% payable either monthly or at maturity, with the outstanding principal and interest due in August 2027. In conjunction with the additional advance of $1.5 million, the Company paid Salem a closing fee of $60,000 and issued 12,500 shares of Common Stock to Salem.

 

On August 14, 2023, Salem made an additional advance of $1.5 million to the Company. The interest rate for the advance was 14.0% per annum, with principal and interest due in August 2027. In conjunction with this advance, the Company paid Salem a closing fee of $45,000, and agreed to issue 400,000 shares of Common Stock to Salem. 

 

On September 5, 2023, the Company and Salem entered into the amended and restated loan agreement in order to (i) provide for additional advances of up to $4.0 million, and (ii) change the maturity date of all previous advances from August 11, 2027 to April 30, 2024. The additional advances had an interest rate of 14.0% per annum, with payment of interest deferred until the April 30, 2024 maturity date. 

 

On September 6, 2023, Salem advanced $1.75 million under the Facility. In conjunction with receiving the additional loan facility and drawing down $1.75 million of additional advances, the Company agreed to issue 660,000 shares of Common Stock to Salem. On October 23, 2023, Salem made an additional advance of $1.25 million under the Facility, and on December 18, 2023, Salem made a final advance of $1.0 million under the Facility.

 

In the second half of 2023, AMB Investments LLC and others purchased participation interests in $5.5 million of additional advances made under Salem Loan Facility (the “$5.5 Million Additional Advance”). AMB Investments LLC owned a 47.17% participation interest in those advances, giving it a pecuniary interest in approximately $2.6 million of the Facility and 500,000 shares of Common Stock issued to Salem in connection with the $5.5 Million Additional Advance. Director, Gary Smith is President of AMB Investments LLC.

 

On March 28, 2024, Salem extended the maturity date of the Salem Loan Facility from April 30, 2024, to January 31, 2026. Additional revisions included changing the interest rate to (i) 3% payment-in-kind and (ii) 11% cash interest for the entire Salem Loan Facility. In addition, $654,308 of outstanding paid-in-kind interest was converted into equity in conjunction with the 2024 Private Placement, discussed below.

 

On August 5, 2024, the Company amended the Salem Loan Facility to (i) reduce the outstanding principal balance from $12.0 million to $4.5 million, (ii) extend the maturity date from January 31, 2026, to December 31, 2028, and (iii) reduce the interest rate from 14% (comprising 3% payment-in-kind (deferred) and 11% cash) to 12% cash. In connection with the partial repayment of the Salem Loan Facility, the $5.5 Million Additional Advance was repaid in full.

 

On December 30, 2025, the Salem Loan Facility was further amended to (i) extend the term of the Facility by 12 months, and (ii) adjust the principal repayment schedule as follows: December 31, 2026 - $200,000; December 31, 2027 - $1.5 million; December 31, 2028 - $1.5 million; and December 31, 2029 - $1.3 million. In conjunction with these amendments, the Company agreed to pay Salem a 1% fee ($45,000) upon the maturity of the Facility.

2024 Private Placement

 

On April 7, 2024, the Company completed a private placement offering (the “2024 Private Placement”) selling 1,465,000 shares of Common Stock and accompanying warrants to purchase 1,465,000 shares of Common Stock to 11 accredited investors, in an initial closing on March 28, 2024 and a subsequent closing on April 7, 2024. The aggregate price per share of Common Stock and accompanying warrant was $2.50. The warrants have an exercise price of $2.50 per share and a term of five years. AMB Investments LLC purchased 40,000 shares of Common Stock and 40,000 warrants in the 2024 Private Placement, on the same terms as the other investors. In connection with the 2024 Private Placement, an additional 606,293 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase 606,293 shares of Common Stock were issued in exchange for approximately $860,000 of outstanding principal and interest under the Convertible Notes and approximately $650,000 of outstanding deferred interest under the Salem Loan Facility, in each case on the same terms as shares of Common Stock and warrants were sold to other investors in the 2024 Private Placement.

 

2024 North Run Private Placement

 

On August 5, 2024, the Company completed a private placement offering (the “2024 North Run Private Placement”), selling (i) 22,000 shares of preferred stock, which have a stated value of $1,000 per share and are initially convertible into 7,213,115 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,885,246 shares of Common Stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $3.05 per share and a term of five and a half years. The securities were sold to NR-PRL Partners, LP, which is an affiliate of North Run.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

The following table sets forth information as of April 6, 2026, concerning the beneficial ownership of shares of each director and each named executive officer who held office during 2025 and by all of our current directors and named executive officers as a group. According to rules promulgated by the SEC, a person is the “beneficial owner” of securities if the person has or shares the power to vote them or to direct their investment, or has the right to acquire ownership of such securities within 60 days through the exercise of an option, warrant, right of conversion of a security, or otherwise.

 

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock that they beneficially owned, subject to applicable community property laws.

 

The percentage of shares beneficially owned is computed on the basis of 10,642,735 shares of Common Stock and 22,000 shares of preferred stock (which are voting shares and are initially convertible into 7,213,115 shares of Common Stock) outstanding as of April 6, 2026. Shares of Common Stock that a person has the right to acquire within 60 days of April 6, 2026, are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding such rights, but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person, except with respect to the percentage ownership of all directors and executive officers as a group. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner in the table below is c/o Guerrilla RF, Inc., 2000 Pisgah Church Road, Greensboro, North Carolina 27455.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

 

This prospectus covers the resale by the selling stockholders identified below of up to an aggregate of 5,215,086 shares of our Common Stock. Except as otherwise noted, the selling stockholders acquired our securities in connection with the 2024 Private Placement and the Debt Conversion. The registration of the Common Stock of the selling stockholders through this prospectus constitutes a secondary offering and is not an offering by or on behalf of the Company. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the Common Stock by the selling stockholders.

 

Except as disclosed in the footnotes below, none of the selling stockholders has been an officer or director of ours or any of our predecessors or affiliates within the past three years. Except as disclosed in the footnotes below, no selling stockholder had a material relationship with us or any of our affiliates within the last three years.

 

The following table and the accompanying footnotes are based in part on information supplied to us by the selling stockholders. The table and footnotes assume that the selling stockholders will sell all of the shares listed. However, because the selling stockholders may sell all or some of their shares under this prospectus from time to time, or in another permitted manner, we cannot assure you as to the actual number of shares that will be sold by the selling stockholders or that will be held by the selling stockholders after completion of any sales. We do not know how long the selling stockholders will hold the shares before selling them.

 

The inclusion of any shares in this table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership by the persons named below. Unless otherwise indicated, based on the information supplied to us by or on behalf of the selling stockholders, no selling stockholder is a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock covered hereby on the principal market or stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the Common Stock is traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices.

 

The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling the shares:

 

 

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker‑dealer solicits purchasers;

 

 

block trades in which the broker‑dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

 

purchases by a broker‑dealer as principal and resale by the broker‑dealer for its account;

 

 

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

 

privately negotiated transactions;

 

 

settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

 

 

in transactions through broker‑dealers that agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares of Common Stock at a stipulated price per security;

 

 

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

 

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

 

 

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling stockholders may also sell the shares of Common Stock under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker‑dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers‑dealers to participate in sales. Broker‑dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker‑dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of the shares or interests therein, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2121.

 

In connection with the sale of our Common Stock, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our Common Stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of the shares of Common Stock offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the Common Stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling stockholder in this offering has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the shares of Common Stock.

 

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the Common Stock. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

Because selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. The selling stockholders have advised us that there is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling Stockholders.

 

We have agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares of Common Stock may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for us to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect, or (ii) the date on which all of the shares of Common Stock have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Common Stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the shares of Common Stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

The following description summarizes the most important terms of our capital stock. Because it is only a summary, it does not contain all the information that may be important to you. For a complete description, you should refer to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, and to the applicable provisions of Delaware law.

 

We have authorized capital stock consisting of 50 million shares of Common Stock and 10 million shares of preferred stock. Except as otherwise provided in the certificate of designation of any series of preferred stock we may issue, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock or preferred stock may from time to time be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares of such class outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of our capital stock.

 

We effected a reverse split of shares of our Common Stock on a six-for-one basis, on April 17, 2023. As a result of the reverse stock split, every six shares of our issued and outstanding Common Stock were automatically converted into one share of Common Stock, but without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Any fractional shares that would otherwise have resulted from the reverse stock split were rounded up to the next whole number. Proportionate adjustments were made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding stock options and warrants granted by the Company. The number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon vesting of RSUs were similarly adjusted. Concurrently, the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the Stock Incentive Plans immediately prior to the Effective Time were reduced proportionately. Unless otherwise stated, all share-based information in this prospectus is presented on a post-split basis.

 

As of April 6, 2026, we had 10,642,735 shares of Common Stock and 22,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. Unless stated otherwise, the following discussion summarizes the terms and provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws.

 

Common Stock

 

Dividend Rights

 

Subject to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets or funds legally available for the payment of dividends if our Board, in its discretion, determines to issue dividends and then only at the times and in the amounts that our Board may determine.

 

Voting Rights

 

Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. We have not provided for cumulative voting for the election of directors in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the shares of our Common Stock will be able to elect all of our directors. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation establishes a classified Board, divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. Only one class of directors will be elected at each annual meeting of our stockholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms.

 

No Preemptive or Similar Rights

 

Our Common Stock is not entitled to preemptive rights, and is not subject to redemption or sinking fund provisions.

 

62

 

Right to Receive Liquidation Distributions

 

Upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up, the assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders would be distributable ratably among the holders of our Common Stock, subject to prior satisfaction of all outstanding debt and liabilities.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Our Board is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, to issue preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences, and rights of the shares of each series and any of its qualifications, limitations, or restrictions, in each case without further vote or action by our stockholders. Our Board can also increase or decrease the number of shares of any series of preferred stock, but not below the number of shares of that series then outstanding, without any further vote or action by our stockholders. Our Board may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our Common Stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in our control and might adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of our Common Stock.

 

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On August 5, 2024, we issued 22,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), which have a stated value of $1,000 per share and are initially convertible into 7,213,115 shares of our Common Stock at the election of North Run.

 

General

 

Each Preferred Share has the designations, preferences, powers and other rights as are set forth in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on August 5, 2024 (the “Certificate of Designations”).

 

The Preferred Shares rank senior to the Common Stock as to distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company.

 

Voting

 

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, holders of Preferred Shares are entitled to vote on an as-converted basis with the Common Stock.

 

Dividends

 

The Preferred Shares will participate with the holders of the Common Stock on an as-converted basis to the extent any dividends are declared on Common Stock; however, the Preferred Shares do not accrue a fixed dividend.

 

Conversion and Liquidation

 

Each Preferred Share is convertible at the option of the holder from and after the original date of issuance into a number of shares of Common Stock based on the stated value of the Preferred Share and any declared and unpaid dividends divided by an initial conversion price of $3.05, subject to customary adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and similar events. Alternatively, each Preferred Share will automatically convert upon the later to occur of (i) the date when the first registration statement pursuant to the 2024 North Run Registration Rights Agreement (defined below) is declared effective by the SEC and (ii) immediately prior to the initial listing of the Common Stock on a national securities exchange.

 

The Preferred Shares will be subject to automatic redemption for cash upon a “Fundamental Transaction”, which includes a merger, sale of all or substantially all our assets, recapitalization, or the sale by us of more than 50% of the Company’s voting stock. In such event, the redemption price would be equal to the greater of the stated value of the Preferred Shares or the consideration per share of Common Stock in the Fundamental Transaction (or in the absence of such consideration, the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock immediately preceding the closing of the Fundamental Transaction).

Anti-Takeover Provisions

 

The provisions of the DGCL, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and our amended and restated bylaws following the APO could have the effect of delaying, deferring, or discouraging another person from acquiring control of our Company.

 

These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of our Company to first negotiate with our Board. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging a proposal to acquire us because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

 

Section 203 of the DGCL

 

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL regulating corporate takeovers. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a three-year period following the time such person becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Under Section 203, a business combination between a corporation and an interested stockholder is prohibited unless it satisfies one of the following conditions:

 

 

before the stockholder became interested, our Board approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

 

 

upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned (i) by persons who are directors and also officers, and (ii) employee stock plans in some instances; or

 

 

at or after the time the stockholder became interested, the business combination was approved by our Board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

 

Section 203 defines a business combination to include:

 

 

any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;

 

 

any sale, transfer, lease, pledge, or other disposition involving the interested stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation;

 

 

subject to exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance of transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;

 

 

subject to exceptions, any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; and

 

 

the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.

 

In general, Section 203 defines an “interested stockholder” as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by the entity or person.

Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaw Provisions

 

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws include a number of provisions that may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers, or delaying or preventing changes in control of our management team or changes in our Board or our governance or policy, including the following:

 

 

Board Vacancies.    Our amended and restated bylaws and certificate of incorporation authorize generally only our Board to fill vacant directorships resulting from any cause or created by the expansion of our Board. In addition, the number of directors constituting our Board may be set only by resolution adopted by a majority vote of our entire Board. These provisions prevent a stockholder from increasing the size of our Board and gaining control of our Board by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees.

 

 

Classified Board.    Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that our Board is classified into three classes of directors. The existence of a classified Board could delay a successful tender offeror from obtaining majority control of our Board, and the prospect of that delay might deter a potential offeror. See the section titled “Management — Executive Officers and Directors — Classified Board of Directors” for additional information.

 

 

Directors Removed Only for Cause.    Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provide that stockholders may only remove a director for cause, and removal of our directors for cause will require a supermajority (66 ⅔%) stockholder vote.

 

 

Supermajority Requirements for Amendments of Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws.    Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation further provide that the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66 ⅔% of our outstanding Common Stock will be required to amend certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, including provisions relating to the classified board, the size of the Board, removal of directors, special meetings, actions by written consent, and designation of our preferred stock. The affirmative vote of holders of at least 66 ⅔% of our outstanding Common Stock required to amend or repeal our amended and restated bylaws, although our amended and restated bylaws may be amended by a simple majority vote of our Board.

 

 

Elimination of Stockholder Action by Written Consent; Special Meetings of Stockholders.    Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provide that our stockholders may not take action by written consent but may only take action at annual or special meetings of our stockholders. As a result, holders of our capital stock would not be able to amend our amended and restated bylaws or remove directors without holding a meeting of our stockholders called in accordance with our amended and restated bylaws. Our amended and restated bylaws provide that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by a majority of our Board, the chairman of our Board, or our chief executive officer, thus prohibiting a stockholder from calling a special meeting. These provisions might delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or for stockholders to take any action, including the removal of directors.

 

 

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations.    Our amended and restated bylaws establish advance notice procedures for stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders. Our amended and restated bylaws also specify certain requirements regarding the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions may preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders. We expect that these provisions might also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our Company.

 

 

No Cumulative Voting.    The DGCL provides that stockholders are not entitled to the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting.

 

 

Issuance of Undesignated Preferred Stock.    Our Board has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 10 million shares of undesignated preferred stock with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to time by our Board. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock enables our Board to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest, or otherwise.

 

 

Choice of Forum.    Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors or officers to the company or our stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim against our company arising pursuant to the DGCL or our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws; (iv) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws; or (v) any action asserting a claim against our company that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Our amended and restated bylaws provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, which we refer to as a Federal Forum Provision. Our decision to adopt a Federal Forum Provision followed a decision by the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware holding that such provisions are facially valid under Delaware law. Although there can be no assurance that federal courts or state courts will follow the holding of the Delaware Supreme Court or determine that the Federal Forum Provision should be enforced in a particular case, application of the Federal Forum Provision means that suits brought by our stockholders to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act must be brought in federal court and cannot be brought in state court. Although neither the exclusive forum provision nor the Federal Forum Provision applies to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all claims brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, actions by our stockholders to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder also must be brought in federal court. Our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in any of our securities shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to our exclusive forum provisions, including the Federal Forum Provision. These provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum of their choosing for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, and other employees.

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

The transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock is VStock Transfer, LLC. The transfer agent’s address is 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, NY 11598, and its telephone number is (212) 828-8436.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

Prior to the Merger, there was no public market for our Common Stock. Currently, there is a limited public market for our Common Stock. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that future sales of our Common Stock, or the availability for future sale of shares of our Common Stock, will have on the prevailing price for our Common Stock from time to time. The sale of substantial amounts of shares of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the prevailing price for our Common Stock to fall or impair our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

 

As of April 6, 2026, we had 10,642,735 shares of Common Stock outstanding. An additional 10,098,361 shares of Common Stock are issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and the exercise of the warrants issued in the 2024 North Run Private Placement. Of those shares that were issued and outstanding as of April 6, 2026, our directors and executive officers beneficially own an aggregate of 1,452,869 shares. 

 

Sale of Restricted Shares

 

All of the shares issued by us are considered “restricted securities” as such term is defined in Rule 144. These restricted securities were issued and sold by us in private transactions and are eligible for public sale only if registered under the Securities Act or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, including the exemption provided by Rule 144, which rule is summarized below.

 

Rule 144

 

In general, Rule 144 provides that (i) any of our non-affiliates that has held restricted Common Stock for at least 12 months is thereafter entitled to sell its restricted stock freely and without restriction, provided that we remain compliant and current with our SEC reporting obligations, and (ii) any of our affiliates, which includes our directors, executive officers and other person in control of U.S., that has held restricted Common Stock for at least 12 months is thereafter entitled to sell its restricted stock subject to the following restrictions: (a) we are compliant and current with our SEC reporting obligations, (b) certain manner of sale provisions are satisfied, (c) a Form 144 is filed with the SEC, and (d) certain volume limitations are satisfied, which limit the sale of shares within any three-month period to a number of shares that does not exceed 1% of the total number of outstanding shares or, if our Common Stock is then listed or quoted for trading on a national securities exchange, then the greater of 1% of the total number of outstanding shares and the average weekly trading volume of our Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of the Form 144 with respect to the sale. A person who has ceased to be an affiliate at least three months immediately preceding the sale and who has owned such shares of Common Stock for at least one year is entitled to sell the shares under Rule 144 without regard to any of the limitations described above.

 

Regulation S

 

Regulation S under the Securities Act provides that shares owned by any person may be sold without registration in the U.S., provided that the sale is effected in an offshore transaction and no directed selling efforts are made in the U.S. (as these terms are defined in Regulation S), subject to certain other conditions. In general, this means that our shares of Common Stock may be sold in some other manner outside the United States without requiring registration in the United States.

 

Registration Rights

 

In connection with the Merger and the APO, we entered into the APO Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to file, subject to customary exceptions, the APO Registration Statement, covering the APO Registrable Securities. The APO Registration Statement was initially declared effective by the SEC on February 11, 2022.

 

Subject to customary exceptions, if any APO Registration Event occurs, we will make payments to each holder of APO Registrable Securities as monetary penalties at a rate equal to 12% per annum of the total value of Registrable Securities held or purchased by such holder and affected during the period, based on the APO price ($12.00 per share); provided that the maximum amount of monetary penalties paid by us will not exceed 8% of such total value. 

 

68

 

We must use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the APO Registration Statement effective for five years from the date it is declared effective by the SEC or until the date on which all APO Registrable Securities have been transferred other than to certain enumerated permitted assignees under the APO Registration Rights Agreement.

 

We will pay all expenses in connection with the registration obligations provided in the APO Registration Rights Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration, filing, and stock exchange fees, printing expenses, all fees and expenses of complying with applicable securities laws, the fees and disbursements of our counsel and of our independent accountants, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of a single counsel to the holders of the APO Registrable Securities, not to exceed $35,000 in the aggregate. Each holder will be responsible for its own sales commissions, if any, transfer taxes and the expenses of any other attorney or advisor such holder decides to employ.

 

In connection with the 2022/23 Offering, we entered into the 2022/23 Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to prepare and file, subject to customary exceptions, the 2022/23 Registration Statement with the SEC, covering the 2022/23 Registrable Securities.

The maximum aggregate liquidated damages paid by us will not exceed 6% of the aggregate amount invested by such investor. 

 

In connection with the 2024 Private Placement, we entered into the 2024 Private Placement Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to prepare and file, subject to customary exceptions, the 2024 Registration Statement with the SEC, covering the 2024 Registrable Securities. The 2024 Registration Statement was initially declared effective by the SEC on May 3, 2024.

 

Subject to customary exceptions, if any 2024 Registration Event occurs, we will pay to each investor in the 2024 Private Placement a cash fee equal to 1% of the aggregate subscription amount paid by such investor; provided that we shall not be required to pay any such liquidated damages if the applicable failure occurred at such time that the 2024 Registrable Securities are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 (without volume restrictions or current public information requirements); and provided, further, that we shall not be obligated to pay any such liquidated damages if we are unable to fulfill our registration obligations due to limits imposed by the SEC's interpretation of Rule 415 under the Securities Act.

Accordingly, shares registered under our Form S-8 registration statement are available for sale in the open market.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations. The terms of Section 145 of the DGCL are sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

As permitted by the DGCL, the registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains provisions that eliminate the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except liability for the following:

 

 

any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the registrant or its stockholders;

 

 

acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 

 

under Section 174 of the DGCL (regarding unlawful dividends and stock purchases); or

 

 

any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its current directors and executive officers to provide these directors and executive officers additional contractual assurances regarding the scope of the indemnification set forth in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, and to provide additional procedural protections. There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director or executive officer of the Company for which indemnification is sought. The indemnification provisions in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws, and the indemnification agreements entered into between the Company and each of its directors and executive officers may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the Company’s directors and executive officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

 

The Company currently carries liability insurance for its directors and officers.

 

Certain of the Company’s directors are also indemnified by their employers with regard to service on the Company’s board of directors.

Item 16. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules

 

(a)    Exhibits

 

The exhibit index attached hereto is incorporated herein by reference.

 

(b)    Financial Statement Schedules

 

All financial statement schedules are omitted because the information required to be set forth therein is not applicable or is included in the financial statements or related notes incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 17. 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;

 

(ii)  to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the 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 SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 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 (1)(i), (ii), and (iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-1 and 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 (15 U.S.C. 78m or 78o(d)) that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement; and

 

II-3

 

(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.

 

(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.

 

(4)  That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

 

(i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:

 

 

(A)

Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

 

(B)

Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or

 

(ii) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

(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 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 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 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.

 

(d)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

 

(1)

For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

 

(2)

For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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.
