Our Company

We are a United States domiciled minerals exploration and development company with a focus on developing mines from mineral deposits principally located in the United States. We seek to support American supply chain independence by finding and delivering copper and other critical metals vital to advanced manufacturing, infrastructure development, technology, and national security. We use our powerful Typhoon™ geophysical surveying system, together with advanced data analytics provided by our 94.3% owned subsidiary, Computational Geosciences Inc., to accelerate and de-risk the mineral exploration process as we seek to discover new deposits of critical metals that may otherwise be undetectable by traditional exploration technologies. We believe the United States is significantly underexplored and has the potential to yield major new discoveries of critical metals. Our mineral exploration efforts focus on copper as well as other metals including nickel, cobalt, platinum group elements, gold and silver.

We are committed to the sustainable development of our projects by embedding Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) criteria in our decision-making framework from the earliest stages of project exploration and development. We continue to build upon our team’s strong ESG track record for leveraging best practices to establish Ivanhoe as a leader in the mining sector. Key considerations that will influence our decision making include, but are not limited to, using clean and renewable energy in our future mining operations, following best practices to meet health, safety and environmental standards, optimizing our water resources, protecting local cultural heritage and biodiversity, minimizing our environmental footprint, as well as ensuring workforce diversity and hiring from local communities.

As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we consider our sole material mineral project to be the Santa Cruz Copper Project in Arizona. The Santa Cruz Copper Project is a development project situated in a prolific mining region that hosts some of the largest copper mines in the United States. The Santa Cruz Copper Project encompasses approximately 26.0 square kilometers (~6,425 acres) on private land and includes associated water rights. The Santa Cruz Copper Project location provides excellent infrastructure, including access to rail, interstate highways, and electric transmission lines. On June 23, 2025, we announced the completion of the Preliminary Feasibility Study (the “PFS”) for the Santa Cruz Copper Project. The PFS confirmed the economic viability of an underground copper mining operation combined with a heap leach processing facility utilizing modern technologies and designed to produce copper cathode. The findings of the PFS include that the Santa Cruz Copper Project is projected to produce 1.4 million tonnes of copper cathode over a 23-year mine life. With a base case copper price of $4.25/lb, the Santa Cruz Copper Project has an estimated after-tax net present value of $1.4 billion at an 8% discount rate and an estimated internal rate of return of 20%. The initial project capital is estimated at $1.24 billion.

At the Santa Cruz Copper Project, following completion of the PFS, we are advancing detailed engineering, operational readiness, and permitting for a copper mining operation incorporating leading technologies to improve efficiencies and costs.

Our other mineral projects in the United States include the Tintic Project located in Utah (the “Tintic Project”), the Hog Heaven Copper-Silver-Gold Project located in Montana (the “Hog Heaven Project”), and the Gleeson Project located in Arizona (the “Gleeson Project”). The Tintic Project is an exploration project located 95 kilometres (“km”) south of Salt Lake City in a historically significant silver producing district that also produced significant amounts of copper and gold. We own a majority of the surface land and mineral rights constituting the Tintic Project and we have option agreements in place to own the remaining surface land and mineral rights at the Tintic Project. The Hog Heaven Project is located on private land approximately

TABLE OF CONTENTS

80 km south-southwest of the town of Kalispell, Montana. It is in the historical Hog Heaven District, which consists of several high-sulfidation epithermal mineral deposits and prospects, as well as several historical mines, including the Flathead Mine. The Gleeson Project is an exploration project located 75 km south-east of Tucson, Arizona in a historic mining district of the same name. We have staked mining claims on federal mineral rights, acquired several Arizona State Mineral Exploration Permits, and signed several option agreements with private landowners.

We also hold a portfolio of other exploration projects in the western United States, including projects in Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and Montana.

In 2023, we established an exploration joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) with the Saudi Arabian Mining Company (Maaden), which we refer to herein as “Maaden.” The Joint Venture is owned 50/50 by Ivanhoe and Maaden and has an initial term of five years, which may be extended up to 10 years upon mutual agreement of the parties. The Joint Venture operates through a limited liability company established under Saudi Arabian law named Maaden Ivanhoe Electric Exploration and Development Limited Company (“Saudi JVCo”). Maaden has made available approximately 48,500 km2 of land under an exploration license (or license application) within Saudi Arabia for exploration by the Joint Venture. In addition, as announced by the Company in September 2025, Maaden made available to Saudi JVCo a further 1,345 square kilometers of additional land under exploration license. We contributed $66.4 million of the proceeds from the sale of our common shares to Maaden to initially fund Saudi JVCo and the Joint Venture, and we provided Saudi JVCo with a royalty-free license to use Typhoon™ within Saudi Arabia for mineral exploration. The license will remain exclusive to the Joint Venture in Saudi Arabia and effective during the term of the Joint Venture. Saudi JVCo has purchased three new generation Typhoon™ units from the Company’s former parent, I-Pulse, all of which have now been delivered to the Joint Venture and are active in Saudi Arabia. The Joint Venture has also entered into a services agreement with Computational Geosciences Inc. (“CGI”), our 94% owned subsidiary, pursuant to which CGI is responsible for the supply of the services for the analysis of data and processing of the full spectrum of geophysical datasets produced by the Typhoon™ geophysical survey systems. The Joint Venture commenced exploration activities in November 2023 and announced its first mineral discovery in January 2025. The Joint Venture is currently conducting drilling activities at the Wadi Bidah and Musayna’ah areas.

In 2024, we established an exploration alliance (“Exploration Alliance”) with a subsidiary of BHP Mineral Resources Inc. (“BHP”) to search for critical minerals in the United States. The Exploration Alliance Agreement sets out the framework for us (acting through a wholly owned subsidiary) and BHP to explore mutually agreed “Areas of Interest” (“AOIs”) in the United States to identify projects within those AOIs that may become 50/50 owned joint ventures. The initial AOIs are in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. The Exploration Alliance is for a term of three years, which may be extended. BHP (through a wholly owned subsidiary) will provide the initial funding of $15 million and any subsequent funding would be on a 50/50 basis. We have provided the Exploration Alliance with access to one of our new generation Typhoon™ units, as well as the machine learning algorithmic software and data inversion services of CGI. In April 2025, the Exploration Alliance completed its first survey using Typhoon™ geophysical survey systems at an area of interest in Arizona. The first drilling commenced in this area of interest in October 2025.

Our other mineral projects outside of the United States are the Alacrán Project in Colombia (the “Alacrán Copper Project”) (owned through our approximate 61% interest in publicly traded company Cordoba Minerals Corp. (“Cordoba”)), the Ivory Coast Project (owned through our interest in publicly traded company Sama Resources Inc. and our 60% interest in a joint venture entity) in Ivory Coast, and the Pinaya Project in Peru. On May 8, 2025, Cordoba announced that it had entered into an agreement for the sale of the remaining 50% of the Alacrán Copper Project to a consortium of investors including JCHX Mining Management Co., Ltd. (“JCHX”), a 19.8% shareholder of Cordoba, for $88 million in cash on closing, $12 million in a deferred payment, and up to $28 million in a contingent payment. Cordoba shareholders approved the transaction at a meeting of shareholders held on September 15, 2025. The transaction is anticipated to close prior to the end of 2025, pending satisfaction of remaining closing conditions.

In addition to our portfolio of mineral projects, we own, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, patents to a proprietary exploration technology known as Typhoon™. We also own a 94% controlling interest in a data inversion business, CGI. CGI was founded in 2010 to commercialize innovative technology developed at the University of British Columbia, Canada to improve and enhance mineral exploration.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Typhoon™ technology allows us to cost effectively and efficiently generate geophysical models of large-scale mineral deposits to depths of up to one and a half kilometers or more. CGI software technology consists of sophisticated codes to process geophysical data and build three-dimensional (“3D”) subsurface models that could indicate the presence of various sulfide metals and minerals. Typhoon™ is capable of energizing large volumes of rock to complete larger surveys through a combination of high voltage up to 10 kV, high power up to 100 kW and high current up to 200 amps. Typhoon™ can and has been used successfully to accelerate and de-risk the exploration process, enabling a higher frequency of mineral discovery and lowering total exploration costs. Typhoon™ has proven to be an important exploration tool during its deployment at the Santa Cruz Copper Project, the Tintic Project and in Saudi Arabia.

We also have interests in grid scale energy storage technology utilizing vanadium redox flow batteries. We own a 90% interest in VRB Energy Inc. (“VRB Energy”), which itself owns 100% of VRB Energy USA Inc. (“VRB USA”), an Arizona-based developer of advanced grid-scale energy storage systems utilizing vanadium redox flow batteries for integration with renewable power sources. VRB Energy also has a 49% interest in VRB Energy System (Beijing) Co., Ltd, a joint venture in China (“VRB China Joint Venture”) with a subsidiary of privately held Shanxi Red Sun Co., Ltd. (“Red Sun”), which owns 51% of the VRB China Joint Venture. The VRB China Joint Venture manufactures, develops and sells vanadium redox flow batteries for Asian, African and Middle Eastern markets.

exploration concepts. At the Hog Heaven Project, detailed core scanning and analytical work, as well as additional ground magnetotelluric surveying during 2025, has allowed for scoping of the next round of exploration concepts for future drilling. At the Gleeson Project, data compilation and land consolidation has been undertaken.

EXIM Bank Letter of Interest

On April 15, 2025, the Company received a Letter of Interest from the Export-Import Bank of the United States (“EXIM Bank”) outlining the potential to provide up to $825 million in debt financing with a 15-year repayment tenor for the development of the Santa Cruz Copper Project in Arizona through EXIM Bank’s Make More in America initiative.

EXIM Bank is the official export credit agency of the United States. It is a government agency that offers financial support to companies through means such as direct loans and loan guarantees, working capital guarantees, and export credit insurance. EXIM Bank’s Make More in America initiative and its China and Transformational Exports Program are designed to boost the United States’ competitiveness, strengthen supply chains, and reduce strategic vulnerabilities.

Following the receipt of the Letter of Interest from EXIM Bank, the Company is currently advancing through the formal application process. EXIM Bank will need to conduct all requisite due diligence necessary to determine if a final lending commitment would be made. Any final lending commitment will be dependent on meeting EXIM Bank’s underwriting criteria, authorization process, and finalization and satisfaction of terms and conditions. All final lending commitments must be in compliance with EXIM Bank policies as well as program, legal and eligibility requirements. Ivanhoe Electric is assessing EXIM Bank’s interest together with other financing alternatives available to it for the development of the Santa Cruz Copper Project.

Saudi Arabia Exploration Activities

On September 2, 2025, the Company announced that Maaden had made available an additional 1,345 square kilometers of exploration licenses to the Joint Venture, including the Musayna’ah, La Huf, Mahd, and Baara Exploration Licenses.

The Musayna’ah Licenses, totaling 946 square kilometers, encompass an area exhibiting the characteristics and widespread mineralization and alteration assemblages typical of iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) deposits. Exploration work by Maaden has defined several large areas of highly anomalous copper in soil geochemistry, where earlier exploration drilling intersected widespread low-grade copper mineralization, and localized higher-grade domains associated with structures. Only a small portion of the approximately seven-kilometer-long main anomalous footprint has been explored.

The La Huf, Mahd, and Baara Exploration Licenses (the “Mahd Area Licenses”) comprise 399 square kilometers adjacent to Maaden’s Mahd Ad Dhahab gold mine, known as the “Cradle of Gold,” and which has been in production for over 3,000 years. Historical exploration by Maaden included shallow drilling primarily aimed at defining near-surface gold deposits, which intersected gold mineralization with associated copper and zinc. The licenses are prospective for additional precious and base metal mineralization beneath the limits of shallow historical drilling.

To October 20, 2025, the Joint Venture has completed approximately 732 square kilometers of geophysical surveys using the Company’s advanced Typhoon™ system and drilled 16 holes totaling approximately 10,461 meters across the Al Amar Belt. Drilling at Al Amar hit narrow intervals of low- to high-grade base and precious metals mineralization associated with Typhoon™-identified anomalies at depths of up to one kilometer.

For the balance of 2025, the Joint Venture plans to continue Typhoon™ surveying at the Wadi Bidah and Musayna’ah Licenses, with the Mahd Area Licenses already having received the first 31 square kilometers of Typhoon™ surveying at the La Huf license. This surveying is in addition to ongoing geological work, geochemical sampling, ground gravity and ground magnetic surveying. Drilling is currently underway at the Wadi Bidah area.

VRB Energy

On October 31, 2024, VRB Energy closed the transaction relating to the VRB China Joint Venture, which created VRB China as a joint venture between VRB Energy and Red Sun. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, VRB holds a 49% interest in the VRB China Joint Venture. Using funds from the transaction, VRB Energy intends to grow and develop VRB USA as a separate Arizona-based vanadium redox battery business through a wholly-owned subsidiary of VRB Energy.

Cordoba Minerals

As previously disclosed on the Company’s current report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on May 8, 2025, the Company’s approximate 61%-owned subsidiary, Cordoba, signed a definitive Framework Agreement on May 8, 2025 for the sale of the Company’s remaining 50% interest in the Alacrán Copper Project to a consortium of investors including JCHX, a 19.8% shareholder of Cordoba, for $88 million in cash on closing, $12 million in a deferred payment, and up to $28 million in a contingent payment.

Terms of the transaction include:

•

initial cash payment of $88 million payable by the consortium upon closing;

•

deferred cash payment of $12 million on the earlier of:

•

commencement of commercial production at the Alacrán Copper Project; or

•

36 months from the closing date; and

•

a potential contingent cash payment based on the prevailing copper price at the time of commercial production at the Alacrán Copper Project:

•

$8 million if the copper price is between $12,000 and $13,000 per tonne; or

•

$28 million if the copper price is greater than $13,000 per tonne.

After retaining a $5 million working capital reserve, the payment of taxes, fees, and other costs associated with negotiating and closing the transaction, and after settling all outstanding liabilities and obligations, it is estimated that approximately $65 million to $70 million in cash will be available for distribution to Cordoba shareholders, of which our share would be at least $40 million.

The transaction must be completed by December 31, 2025. Remaining conditions for closing include the approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the Alacrán Copper Project by the environmental regulator in Colombia (the “EIA Approval”). Following the closing of the transaction, Cordoba will continue to be a publicly listed company on the TSX Venture Exchange and will undertake a search for new business development opportunities. The Company will continue to hold the majority of Cordoba’s shares. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Operations — There is no guarantee that the proposed sale of Cordoba’s remaining interest in the Alacrán Copper Project will be successfully completed.”

See “Use of Proceeds” for additional information.

Maaden Top-Up Right

Maaden has a right to purchase additional shares of common stock to maintain an approximate 8.9% stock ownership position in the event of any issuances of common stock by us (the “Maaden Top-Up Right”). Pursuant to the Maaden Top-Up Right, Maaden has the right to elect, within 20 business days after the closing of this offering, to subscribe for up to such number of shares of common stock, at the same per share price as this offering, that will allow it to maintain beneficial ownership of up to approximately 8.9% of the outstanding shares of our common stock after giving effect to this offering and other dilutive issuances.

The number of shares that Maaden will have a right to purchase as a result of, and following the completion of, this offering will be shares (or shares if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full), plus 62,039 shares as a result of other dilutive issuances through October 20, 2025. If Maaden exercises the Maaden Top-Up Right in full, the number of shares to be outstanding after this offering and such exercise is expected to be shares of common stock (or shares if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full).

The offering is not conditioned upon Maaden’s exercise of the Maaden Top-Up Right and any shares received by Maaden in the event of any such exercise of the Maaden Top Up Right would not be shares issued in

In addition, this prospectus supplement assumes no share payments made pursuant to our agreement with DRH Energy, Inc. (“DRHE”), which contemplates potential payments to DRHE of $0.015 per excess pound of copper, if we commence commercial mining operations at the Santa Cruz Copper Project and the copper reserves or production exceed two billion pounds. We have granted DRHE the right to elect to receive such payments in shares of our common stock at a 10% discount to the 5-day volume weighted average price, subject to stock exchange rules.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS

Investing in shares of our common stock involves a high degree of risk. The following risk factors and other information included in this prospectus supplement should be carefully considered. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we presently deem less significant may also impair our business operations. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as those contained in the accompanying prospectus, our most recent Form 10-K annual report, and the other documents incorporated by reference, before deciding whether to invest in our common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In any such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Risks Relating to this Offering

We have broad discretion as to the use of proceeds from this offering and may not use the proceeds effectively.

Our management will retain broad discretion as to the allocation of the proceeds of this offering and may spend these proceeds in ways in which you may not agree. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to complete the remaining payments owed from the purchase of land at our Santa Cruz Copper Project in Arizona, to fund early development activities at the Santa Cruz Copper Project, to fund exploration activities at our current projects and joint ventures, and for other working capital and general corporate purposes. See “Use of Proceeds” for additional information. Our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds, including redirecting funds as exploration progresses, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. The failure of our management to apply these funds effectively could result in unfavorable returns and uncertainty about our prospects, each of which could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering and may experience additional dilution in the future.

If you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the amount of $ per share (or $ per share if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full), because the public offering price of $ per share is substantially higher than the as-adjusted net tangible book value per share of our outstanding common stock as of June 30, 2025. You may also experience additional dilution after this offering on any future equity issuances, including the issuance of common stock in connection with our equity incentive plans, or pursuant to any exercise of the Maaden Top-Up Right. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders will experience substantial additional dilution. See “Dilution” for additional information.

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

In order to raise additional capital, we expect to offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock in the future. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to existing stockholders, including investors who purchase shares of common stock in this offering. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering. If we sell common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock in subsequent transactions, our investors’ holdings may be materially diluted.

Future sales of our common stock in the public market could cause our common stock price to fall.

Our common stock price could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of common stock after this offering or the perception that these sales could occur. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, might also make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

All shares of common stock expected to be sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless held by our “affiliates” as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The resale of certain of our outstanding shares of common stock following this offering is currently prohibited or otherwise restricted as a result of securities law provisions or lock-up agreements entered into by certain of our stockholders with the underwriters in connection with this offering. However, subject to applicable securities law restrictions, these shares will be able to be sold in the public market beginning 91 days after the date of this prospectus supplement. See “Underwriting.”

If securities or industry analysts either do not publish research about us or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about us, our business or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our common stock adversely, the trading price or trading volume of our common stock could decline.

The trading market for our common stock will be influenced in part by the research and reports that securities or industry analysts may publish about us, our business, our market, or our competitors. If one or more of these analysts initiate research with an unfavorable rating or downgrade our common stock, provide a more favorable recommendation about our competitors or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our common stock price would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover us were to cease coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the trading price or trading volume of our common stock to decline.

Maaden holds certain top-up rights that could lead to further dilution or adversely affect our stock price.

We have granted Maaden the Maaden Top-Up Right to purchase additional shares of common stock to maintain an approximately 8.9% stock ownership position in the event of any issuances of common stock by us. Maaden may exercise this right each time we issue shares (or securities convertible into shares) for cash as part of an equity financing transaction, which includes this offering, and in certain other circumstances. In the event that Maaden does not exercise the Maaden Top-Up Right, the ownership threshold for purposes of Maaden Top-Up Right will be reduced to its ownership level after giving effect to the dilutive issuance. The Maaden Top-Up Right will expire on the earlier of (i) July 6, 2028 (being five years from the date of completion of Maaden’s initial investment in us) (the “Initial Period”), but only if within such five-year period Maaden has (a) failed on two separate occurrences to exercise in full the Maaden Top-Up Right, or (b) Maaden has sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of any of shares of our common stock (other than to an affiliate or to the Public Investment Fund of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (the “PIF”)); (ii) the first day following the Initial Period on which Maaden sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of any of our shares of common stock (other than to an affiliate or to the PIF); and (iii) three years after the Initial Period.

To the extent the Maaden Top-Up Right is exercised, such exercise would cause further dilution to purchasers in this offering. No assurance can be provided as to whether Maaden will or will not exercise the Maaden Top-Up Right. Any decision by Maaden not to exercise Maaden Top-Up Right could adversely affect the price of our common stock.

Risks Relating to Our Operations

There is no assurance that Red Sun will satisfy its payment obligations to the VRB China Joint Venture and to us in full or in a timely manner.

Pursuant to the Red Sun Transaction, we, through VRB Energy, are entitled to receive $20 million in cash from Red Sun payable in two equal tranches, which we plan to use for the growth and advancement of VRB USA. The first payment of $10 million was received in February 2025. Red Sun did not make the second payment of $10 million by its contractual due date of June 30, 2025. Red Sun stated that it would pay $5 million by August 31, 2025 and the remaining $5 million no later than October 31, 2025. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, Red Sun has not made these payments. The VRB China Joint Venture is also entitled to receive approximately $35 million in tranches of which $9.7 million is due but not yet paid. There can be no assurance that Red Sun will satisfy its remaining payment obligations to VRB China Joint Venture or to us in full or in a timely manner. Any delay, reduction or failure to make these payments could have an adverse effect on the business of the VRB China Joint Venture and would have an impact on our plans for VRB USA.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

There is no guarantee that the proposed sale of Cordoba’s remaining interest in the Alacrán Copper Project will be successfully completed.

Cordoba, our publicly listed and approximately 61% owned subsidiary, has entered into an agreement to sell certain assets indirectly constituting Cordoba’s remaining 50% interest in the Alacrán Copper Project, related exploration properties, and certain intercompany receivables, for consideration of up to $128 million, consisting of $88 million in cash at closing, $12 million in deferred payment, and up to $28 million in contingent payments based on daily London Metal Exchange spot copper price during the first twelve months of commercial production.

The sale is conditioned upon Cordoba receiving the EIA Approval. There can be no assurance that the EIA Approval will be received and no assurance that all other remaining closing conditions will be satisfied or that the transaction will close on the anticipated timeline, or at all. Failure to complete this transaction would adversely affect Cordoba’s financial condition and our investment in Cordoba. Additionally, even if the transaction closes, there is no guarantee that the deferred payment or any contingent payments will be received.

the requirements that we obtain, maintain and renew environmental, construction and mining permits are often a costly and time-consuming process;

•

our non-U.S. operations are subject to additional political, economic and other uncertainties not generally associated with domestic operations;

You should carefully consider these risks, as well as the additional risks described in the documents incorporated by reference herein. We also operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements.

These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K incorporated by reference herein.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

On February 21, 2025, the Board of Directors adopted the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Second Amended and Restated Bylaws”) which became effective immediately. On June 5, 2025, at the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, stockholders of the Company approved the amendment and restatement of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”) which became effective on June 6, 2025. The following descriptions are summaries of the material terms of our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws and Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Reference is made to the more detailed provisions of, and the descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws and the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to our amended Form 8-K filed on February 24, 2025 and our Form 8-K filed on June 9, 2025, respectively, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement.

General

Our authorized capital stock consists of 700,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

Common Stock

Common stock outstanding. At October 20, 2025, there were 133,201,234 shares of common stock outstanding. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

Voting rights. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders, except on matters relating solely to terms of preferred stock.

Dividend rights. We do not intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future and currently intend to retain all future earnings to finance our business. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor.

Rights upon liquidation. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding.

Other rights. The holders of our common stock have no preemptive or conversion or exchange rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption, retraction, purchase for cancellation, surrender or sinking or purchase fund provisions applicable to our common stock.

Preferred Stock

Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series, without further vote or action by the stockholders. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our Company without further action by the stockholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock. We currently have no plans to issue any preferred stock.

Certain Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions

Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals

Our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and nomination of candidates for election as directors.

Limits on Written Consents

Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be effected by any consent in writing in lieu of a meeting of such stockholders, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock.

S-16

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Limits on Special Meetings

Special meetings of the stockholders may be called at any time only by (i) the Chair of our Board of Directors, (ii) the Chief Executive Officer, or (iii) our Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors.

Choice of Forum

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings under Delaware statutory or common law: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (ii) any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty; (iii) any action asserting a claim against us arising under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”); and (iv) any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The foregoing provision does not apply to claims under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or any claim for which the United States federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation further provides that the federal district courts of the United States 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.

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation also provides that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to these choice of forum provisions. These exclusive forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, and other employees, although our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

While Delaware courts have determined that choice of forum provisions are facially valid, it is possible that a court of law in another jurisdiction could rule that the choice of forum provisions to be contained in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation are inapplicable or unenforceable if they are challenged in a proceeding or otherwise. If a court were to find the choice of forum provision in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions.

Amendments to our Governing Documents

Generally, the amendment of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation requires approval by our Board of Directors and the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of our Board of Directors, voting together as a single class. Any amendment to our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws requires either the approval of either a majority of our Board of Directors or the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of our Board of Directors, voting together as a single class.

Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors consists of a single class of directors and directors will serve until a successor is duly elected and qualified or until a director’s earlier death, removal or resignation (other than directors that may be elected by holders of our preferred shares, if any).

Under Section 141 of the DGCL, directors may be removed with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that any vacancy on our Board of Directors, including a vacancy resulting from an enlargement of our Board of Directors, may be filled by vote of a majority of our directors then in office. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of our Board of Directors.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Delaware Business Combination Statute

We have elected to be subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which regulates corporate acquisitions. Section 203 prevents an “interested stockholder,” which is defined generally as a person owning 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock, or any affiliate or associate of that person, from engaging in a broad range of “business combinations” with the corporation for the three years after becoming an interested stockholder unless:

•

the board of directors of the corporation had previously approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder’s becoming an interested stockholder;

•

upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder’s becoming an interested stockholder, that person owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, other than statutorily excluded shares; or

•

following the transaction in which that person became an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.

Under Section 203, the restrictions described above also do not apply to specific business combinations proposed by an interested stockholder following the announcement or notification of designated extraordinary transactions involving the corporation and a person who had not been an interested stockholder during the previous three years or who became an interested stockholder with the approval of a majority of the corporation’s directors, if such extraordinary transaction is approved or not opposed by a majority of the directors who were directors prior to any person becoming an interested stockholder during the previous three years or were recommended for election or elected to succeed such directors by a majority of such directors.

Section 203 may make it more difficult for a person who would be an interested stockholder to effect various business combinations with a corporation for a three-year period. Section 203 also may have the effect of preventing changes in our management and could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions which our stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Some Provisions

Some provisions of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Second Amended and Restated Bylaws could make the acquisition of control of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise more difficult.

These provisions, as well as our ability to issue preferred stock, are designed to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our Board of Directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection give us the potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us, and that the benefits of this increased protection outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging those proposals, because negotiation of those proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Listing

Our common stock is listed on the NYSE American under the symbol “IE” and on the TSX also under the symbol “IE.”

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The United States transfer agent and registrar for the common stock is Computershare Trust Company, N.A., located at 150 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021 and the Canadian transfer agent and registrar for the common stock is Computershare Investor Services Inc. located at 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, B.C.

Except as otherwise noted, all information in this prospectus supplement excludes any purchases by Maaden of any shares of common stock as a result of this offering or otherwise pursuant to the Maaden Top-Up Right.

DILUTION

Dilution represents the difference between the amount per share of common stock paid by purchasers of shares of common stock in this offering and the as-adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering.

The data in this section are derived from our balance sheet as of June 30, 2025. Net tangible book value per share of common stock is equal to our total tangible assets less the amount of our total liabilities, divided by the sum of the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2025, excluding shares of common stock underlying outstanding options, RSUs and DSUs. Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2025 was $310.7 million, or $2.34 per share of common stock.

We present dilution on a pro forma as-adjusted basis to give effect to our receipt of the estimated net proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock in this offering, based on an assumed public offering price of $16.75 per share, which was the closing price per share of our common stock on the NYSE American on October 20, 2025, and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. On a pro forma as- adjusted basis, our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2025 would have been $430.3 million, or $3.07 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma as-adjusted net tangible book value to existing stockholders of $0.73 per share of common stock and immediate dilution in pro forma as-adjusted net tangible book value to purchasers of shares of common stock in this offering of $13.68 per share of common stock. The following table illustrates this dilution per share of common stock:

Assumed public offering price per share	$	16.75
Net tangible book value per share of common stock as of June 30, 2025	$	2.34
Increase in pro forma net tangible book value per share of common stock attributable to
purchasers of shares of common stock in this offering	$	0.73
Pro forma as-adjusted net tangible book value per share of common stock immediately after this offering	$	3.07
Dilution per share of common stock to purchasers of shares of common stock in this offering	$	13.68

If the underwriters fully exercise their option to purchase additional shares of common stock, the pro forma as-adjusted net tangible book value after this offering would increase by approximately $0.10 per share of common stock, and the dilution would decrease by approximately $0.10 per share of common stock to purchasers of shares of common stock in this offering.

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the public offering price, assumed to be $16.75 per share, which was the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE American on October 20, 2025, would increase (decrease) the net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering by $0.01 ($0.01) per share and the dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering by $0.99 ($0.99) per share, assuming no change to the dollar amount offered by us on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of common stock, and after deducting underwriting discounts.

The number of shares of common stock shown above to be outstanding immediately after this offering is based on 132,690,768 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and excludes the following:

•

7,874,593 shares of common stock issuable pursuant to options outstanding as of June 30, 2025, at a weighted average exercise price of $9.69 per share;

•

up to 1,476,557 shares of common stock underlying outstanding RSUs granted as of June 30, 2025;

•

up to 714,822 shares of common stock underlying outstanding PSUs granted as of June 30, 2025;

•

up to 179,798 shares of common stock underlying outstanding DSUs granted as of June 30, 2025; and

Our common stock will be offered in the United States through those underwriters who are registered to offer the common stock for the sale in the United States and such other registered dealers as may be designated by the underwriters.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Price Stabilization, Short Positions

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our common stock during and after this offering, including:

•

stabilizing transactions;

•

short sales;

•

purchases to cover positions created by short sales;

•

imposition of penalty bids; and

•

syndicate covering transactions.

Stabilizing transactions consist of bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock. These transactions may also include making short sales of our common stock, which involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares of common stock than they are required to purchase in this offering. Short sales may be “covered short sales,” which are short positions in an amount not greater than the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares referred to above, or may be “naked short sales,” which are short positions in excess of that amount.

The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional shares, in whole or in part, or by purchasing shares in the open market. In making this determination, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the option to purchase additional shares.

The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the common stock in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchased in this offering. Any naked short position would form part of the underwriters’ over-allocation position.

The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the representative has repurchased shares sold by or for the account of that underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.

As a result of these activities, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time. The underwriters may carry out these transactions on the NYSE American, the TSX, other stock exchanges, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. Neither we nor the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the shares.

Affiliations

The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include sales and securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, market making, financing, brokerage and other financial and non-financial activities and services. Certain of the underwriters and their respective affiliates have provided and may from time to time in the future engage with us and perform a variety of these services for us and for persons and entities with relationships with us in the ordinary course of their business for which they will receive customary fees and expenses.

In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates, officers, directors and employees may purchase, sell or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities), loans, commodities, currencies, credit default swaps and other financial instruments (including bank loans), for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve or relate to our assets, securities and/or instruments (directly, as collateral securing other obligations or otherwise) and/or persons and entities with

CERTAIN MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX
CONSEQUENCES TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS

The following is a summary of certain material United States federal income tax consequences to a non-U.S. holder (as defined below) relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common stock acquired pursuant to this offering.

This summary is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all the potential tax considerations that may apply to a non-U.S. holder arising from or relating to the ownership or disposition of our common stock. In addition, this summary does not take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular non-U.S. holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to such non-U.S. holder, including, without limitation, specific tax consequences applicable to a non-U.S. holder under an applicable income tax treaty. Accordingly, this summary is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or U.S. federal income tax advice with respect to any particular non-U.S. holder. This summary also does not address the tax considerations arising under the laws of any non-U.S., state or local jurisdiction, or under U.S. federal gift tax or estate tax laws. This summary also does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation, such as any U.S. alternative minimum tax or the additional tax on net investment income. In addition, except as specifically discussed below, this summary does not discuss applicable income tax reporting requirements. Each prospective non-U.S. holder should consult its own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common stock.

We have not sought any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) with respect to the statements made or the conclusions reached in the following summary, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with such statements and conclusions. This summary is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS is not precluded from taking a position that is different from, or contrary to, the positions taken in this summary.

This summary is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury regulations (whether final, temporary, or proposed) promulgated thereunder (“Treasury Regulations”), published rulings of the IRS, published administrative positions of the IRS, and U.S. judicial decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These authorities may be changed, possibly retroactively, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those set forth below. This summary does not discuss the potential effects, whether adverse or beneficial, of any proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied on a retroactive or prospective basis.

This summary does not address tax consequences applicable to a non-U.S. holder’s particular circumstances or to non-U.S. holders that may be subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation:

•

banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions;

•

persons subject to special tax accounting rules;

•

tax-exempt organizations, tax-qualified retirement plans, and pension plans;

•

controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax and, in each case, shareholders thereof;

•

partnerships or other entities treated as pass-through entities (and investors therein) for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

•

dealers in securities or currencies;

•

traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings;

•

persons who acquire our common stock pursuant to the exercise or cancellation of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for their services;

•

persons that own, or are deemed to own, more than five percent (by voting power or value) of our common stock, except to the extent specifically set forth below;

•

real estate investment trusts or regulated investment companies;

S-31

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

certain U.S. expatriates, former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

•

persons who hold our common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, constructive sale, or other integrated security transaction;

•

corporations organized outside the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia that are nonetheless treated as U.S. persons for U.S. federal income tax purposes; or

•

persons who do not hold our common stock as a capital asset (within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code).

Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the application of the United States federal income tax laws to their particular situation, as well as any tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common stock arising under other United States federal tax rules, under the laws of any state, local, non-U.S. or other taxing jurisdiction, or under any applicable tax treaty.

Non-U.S. Holder Defined

For purposes of this discussion, a “non-U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of our common stock that is not, for United States federal income tax purposes:

•

an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

•

a corporation created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, or the District of Columbia;

•

an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

•

a trust (x) whose administration is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and which has one or more United States persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust; or (y) which has made an election to be treated as a United States person.

In addition, if a partnership, including any entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holds our common stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership, and certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, partnerships that hold our common stock, and partners in such partnerships, should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of our common stock.

Distributions

We have not paid and we do not anticipate declaring or paying dividends in the foreseeable future to holders of our common stock. However, if we make a distribution of cash or other property (other than certain pro rata distributions of our common stock) in respect of our common stock, the distribution (including any constructive distribution) will be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent it is paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). If the amount of a distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital that reduces the non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in such holder’s common stock, but not below zero. Any excess thereafter will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of our common stock and will be treated as described under “— Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Common Stock,” below. As discussed under “— Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Common Stock” below, we believe we are a “United States real property holding corporation” (“USRPHC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code. If we are a USRPHC and we do not qualify for the Regularly Traded Exception (as defined below), distributions which constitute a return of capital or gain will be subject to withholding tax at a rate of 15% unless a withholding certificate is obtained from the IRS to reduce or eliminate such withholding.

Subject to the discussion below regarding effectively connected income, FATCA (as defined below), and backup withholding, distributions treated as dividends on our common stock held by a non-U.S. holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30%, or at a lower rate if provided by an

S-32

TABLE OF CONTENTS

applicable income tax treaty and the non-U.S. holder has provided the documentation required to claim benefits under such treaty. Generally, to claim the benefits of an income tax treaty, a non-U.S. holder will be required to provide a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E. In the case of any constructive distribution, it is possible that this tax would be withheld from any amount owed to the non-U.S. Holder, including, but not limited to, distributions of cash, common stock or sales proceeds subsequently paid or credited to that holder. If we are unable to determine, at the time of payment of a distribution, whether the distribution will constitute a dividend, we may nonetheless withhold any U.S. federal income tax on the distribution as permitted by Treasury Regulations. As discussed under “— Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Common Stock” below, we believe we are a “United States real property holding corporation (“USRPHC”) within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code. If we are a USRPHC and we do not qualify for the Regularly Traded Exception (as defined below), distributions which constitute a return of capital or gain will be subject to withholding tax at a rate of 15% unless a withholding certificate is obtained from the IRS to reduce or eliminate such withholding.

If a non-U.S. holder holds our common stock in connection with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, and dividends paid on our common stock are effectively connected with such non-U.S. holder’s United States trade or business (and, if an applicable tax treaty so provides, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States), the dividends will not be subject to the 30% United States federal withholding tax (provided the non-U.S. holder has provided the appropriate documentation, generally an IRS Form W-8ECI, to the withholding agent), but the non-U.S. holder generally will be subject to United States federal income tax in respect of the dividend on a net income basis, and at graduated rates, in substantially the same manner as United States persons. Dividends received by a non-U.S. holder that is a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes and which are effectively connected with the conduct of a United States trade or business may also be subject to a branch profits tax at the rate of 30%, or a lower rate if provided by an applicable tax treaty.

A non-U.S. holder that is eligible for a reduced rate of United States federal withholding tax under an income tax treaty may obtain a refund or credit of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for a refund together with the required information with the IRS.

Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Common Stock

Subject to the discussion below regarding FATCA and backup withholding, a non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to United States federal income or withholding tax on any gain realized on the sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock unless:

•

such non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of such sale or disposition, and certain other conditions are met;

•

such gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the non-U.S. holder of a trade or business in the United States (and, if an applicable tax treaty so provides, is attributable to a permanent establishment or a fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States); or

•

our common stock constitutes a United States real property interest (“USRPI”) by reason of our status as a USRPHC at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition or the non-U.S. holder’s holding period for our common stock.

A non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to tax at a gross rate of 30% on the amount by which such non-U.S. holder’s taxable capital gains allocable to United States sources, including gain from the sale or other disposition of our common stock, exceed capital losses allocable to United States sources, except as otherwise provided in an applicable income tax treaty.

If the gain is described in the second bullet point above, gain realized by the non-U.S. holder generally will be subject to United States federal income tax on a net income basis, and at graduated rates, in substantially the same manner as a United States person (except as provided by an applicable tax treaty). In addition, if such non-U.S. holder is a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes, it may also be subject to a branch profits tax at the rate of 30% (or a lower rate if provided by an applicable tax treaty) on such effectively connected gain, as adjusted for certain items.

S-33

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Because we hold significant real property interests in the United States, we believe we are a USRPHC for United States federal income tax purposes. Because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends on the fair market value of our United States real property interests relative to the fair market value of our worldwide real property interests and our other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, it is possible we may (or may not) remain a USRPHC in the future. As a USRPHC, if our common stock is “regularly traded” on an “established securities market” (in each case, as defined by applicable Treasury Regulations) (the “Regularly Traded Exception”) during the calendar year in which a non-U.S. holder disposes of our stock, the non-U.S. holder would not be subject to taxation on the gain on the disposition of our common stock under this rule unless the non-U.S. holder has, actually or constructively, owned more than 5% of our outstanding common stock at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the disposition of such common stock or the non-U.S. holder’s holding period for such common stock (a “5% Shareholder”). We believe that our common stock currently is regularly traded on an established securities market. However, no assurance can be given in this regard and no assurance can be given that our common stock will remain regularly traded in the future. If gain on the sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock by a non-U.S. holder is subject to United States federal income taxation by reason of such stock being treated as a USRPI, such non-U.S. holder generally would be subject to regular United States federal income tax with respect to such gain in the same manner as a taxable U.S. holder and would be required to file a United States federal income tax return for the taxable year in which such gain was recognized. In addition, the purchaser of such common stock from a non-U.S. holder generally would be required to withhold and remit to the IRS 15% of the purchase price paid to such non-U.S. holder unless, at the time of such sale or other disposition, our common stock is regularly traded on an established securities market (as discussed above) or another exception to such withholding applies. The determination of whether a non-U.S. holder is a 5% Shareholder and the potential application of the Regularly Traded Exception is complex and subject to uncertainty. Non-U.S. holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding such determinations and the consequences of these rules on their investment.

FATCA

Provisions of the Code commonly referred to as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or FATCA, generally impose a 30% withholding tax on dividends (including constructive dividends) on, and gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, our common stock if paid to or through a “foreign financial institution” or a “non-financial foreign entity” (each as defined in the Code), unless: (1) the foreign entity is a foreign financial institution and undertakes certain due diligence, reporting, withholding, and certification obligations, (2) the foreign entity is a non-financial foreign entity and either certifies it does not have any “substantial United States owners” (as defined in the Code) or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial United States owner, or (3) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity is otherwise excepted under FATCA. If the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements in clause (1) above, it must enter into an agreement with the United States Department of Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain “specified United States persons” or “United States owned foreign entities” (each as defined in the Code), annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on certain payments to non-compliant foreign financial institutions and certain other account holders. Non-U.S. holders typically will be required to furnish certifications (generally on the applicable IRS Form W-8) or other documentation to provide the information required by FATCA or to establish compliance with, or an exemption from, withholding under FATCA. FATCA withholding may apply where payments are made through a non-U.S. intermediary that is not FATCA compliant, even where the non-U.S. holder satisfies the holder’s own FATCA obligations.

The United States Department of Treasury has released proposed Treasury Regulations (the preamble to which specifies that taxpayers may rely on them pending finalization) which would eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our common stock. There can be no assurance that the proposed Treasury Regulations will be finalized in their present form.

The United States and a number of other jurisdictions have entered into intergovernmental agreements to facilitate the implementation of FATCA. Any applicable intergovernmental agreement may alter one or more of the FATCA information reporting and withholding requirements. If withholding under FATCA is required on any payment related to our common stock, investors not otherwise subject to withholding (or that otherwise would be entitled to a reduced rate of withholding) on such payment may be required to seek a

S-34

TABLE OF CONTENTS

refund or credit from the IRS, and may be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return to claim such refunds or credits. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential application of withholding under FATCA to an investment in our common stock, including the applicability of any intergovernmental agreements.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Backup withholding, currently at a rate of 24%, generally will not apply to dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder on, or to the gross proceeds paid to a non-U.S. holder from a disposition of, our common stock, provided that the non-U.S. holder furnishes the required certification for its non-U.S. status, such as by providing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8ECI, or certain other requirements are met. Backup withholding may apply if the payor has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that the holder is a United States person who is not an exempt recipient.

We are required to report annually to the IRS the amount of any dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder, regardless of whether we actually withheld any tax. Copies of the information returns reporting such dividends and the amount withheld may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the non-U.S. holder resides under the provisions of an income tax treaty or other agreement between the United States and the tax authorities in such country. In addition, proceeds from the disposition by a non-U.S. holder of our common stock that is transacted within the United States or conducted through certain United States-related brokers generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting if the applicable withholding agent receives the certification described above and does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a United States person, or the holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Proceeds of a disposition of our common stock conducted through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The United States federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund or credit may generally be obtained from the IRS, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

The preceding summary is for informational purposes only and is not tax advice. Each prospective investor should consult its own tax advisor regarding the particular United States federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common stock, including the consequences of any proposed changes in applicable laws.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves risk. Before making a decision to invest in our securities, you should carefully consider the risks described under “Summary of Risk Factors” and “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus supplement and in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and any updates to those risk factors in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, together with all of the other information appearing or incorporated by reference herein, in light of your particular investment objectives and financial circumstances. Although we discuss key risks in our discussion of risk factors, new risks may emerge in the future, which may prove to be significant. We cannot predict future risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

IVANHOE ELECTRIC INC.

We are a United States domiciled company that combines advanced mineral exploration technologies with electric metals exploration projects predominantly located in the United States. We use our accurate and powerful Typhoon™ geophysical surveying system, together with advanced data analytics provided by our subsidiary, Computational Geosciences Inc., to accelerate and de-risk the mineral exploration process as we seek to discover new deposits of critical metals that may otherwise be undetectable by traditional exploration technologies. We believe the United States is significantly underexplored and has the potential to yield major new discoveries of critical metals. Our mineral exploration efforts focus on copper as well as other metals including nickel, vanadium, cobalt, platinum group elements, gold and silver. Through the advancement of our portfolio of electric metals exploration projects, headlined by the Santa Cruz Copper Project in Arizona and the Tintic Copper-Gold Project in Utah, as well as other exploration projects in the United States, we intend to support United States supply chain independence by finding and delivering the critical metals necessary for the electrification of the economy. We also operate a 50/50 joint venture with Saudi Arabian Mining Company Ma’aden to explore for minerals on ~48,500 km2 of underexplored Arabian Shield in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

At our Santa Cruz Copper Project in Arizona, we are evaluating the potential for a high-grade modern underground copper mining operation. We are advancing economic studies for an underground copper mining operation with a focus on minimizing the surface footprint of the mine while at the same time incorporating leading technologies to improve efficiencies and costs. We are designing a technologically advanced mine that we expect to result in low carbon dioxide emissions per pound of copper produced and be a leading example of responsibly produced domestic copper. Key considerations that will influence our decision making include, but are not limited to, using clean and renewable energy in our future mining operations, optimizing and minimizing our water utilization, minimizing our environmental footprint, ensuring workforce diversity and hiring from local communities, health, safety and environmental (“HSE”) performance, support of local cultural heritage and biodiversity protection.

Our principal executive offices are located at 606 – 999 Canada Place Vancouver, BC V6C 3E1, Canada and our telephone number is (604) 689-8765. Our website address is www.ivanhoeelectric.com. Information on, or accessible through, our website is not part of this prospectus, nor is such content incorporated by reference herein, and should not be relied upon in determining whether to make an investment in our securities.

SPECIAL NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein, contains forward-looking statements, that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about future events, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, our industry and the regulatory environment in which we operate. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. Those statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to: estimated calculations of mineral reserves and resources at our properties including changes in those estimated calculations, anticipated results of exploration activities, plans and objectives, potential development, financing or production, the performance of our technology, industry trends, our requirements for additional capital, treatment under applicable government regimes for permitting or attaining approvals, government regulation, environmental risks, title disputes or claims, synergies of potential future acquisitions, and our anticipated

TABLE OF CONTENTS

uses of the net proceeds from our initial public offering. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “achieve,” “budget,” “scheduled,” “forecasts,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements may include projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth strategies and anticipated trends in our industry. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions concerning future events that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual future events or results may differ materially from these statements. We believe that the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include the following: our mineral projects are all at the exploration stage with no certainty of advancing to further stages of development; we have no mineral reserves, other than at the San Matias project; we have a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects; we depend on our material projects for our future operations; our mineral resource calculations at the Santa Cruz Project are only estimates; actual capital costs, operating costs, production and economic returns may differ significantly from those we have anticipated; the title to some of the mineral properties may be uncertain or defective; our business is subject to changes in the prices of copper, gold, silver, nickel, cobalt, vanadium and platinum group metals; we have claims and legal proceedings against one of our subsidiaries; our business is subject to significant risk and hazards associated with exploration activities, mine development, construction and future mining operations; we may fail to identify attractive acquisition candidates or joint ventures with strategic partners or be unable to successfully integrate acquired mineral properties or successfully manage joint ventures; our success is dependent in part on our joint venture partners and their compliance with our agreements with them; our business is extensively regulated by the United States and foreign governments as well as local governments; the requirements that we obtain, maintain and renew environmental, construction and mining permits are often a costly and time-consuming process; our non-U.S. operations are subject to additional political, economic and other uncertainties not generally associated with domestic operations; and our operations may be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, including impacts to the availability of our workforce, government orders that may require temporary suspension of operations, and the global economy.

You should carefully consider these risks, as well as the additional risks described in other documents we file with the SEC. We also operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements.

These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, or cautionary statements, are disclosed under “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. These risks and uncertainties, as well as other risks of which we are not aware or which we currently do not believe to be material, may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We do not undertake any obligation to make any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK

Should we offer to sell a particular series of preferred stock, we will describe the specific terms of the securities in a supplement to this prospectus. The preferred stock will be issued under a certificate of designations relating to each series of preferred stock and is also subject to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue the preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion

TABLE OF CONTENTS

rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series, without further vote or action by the stockholders.

All shares of preferred stock offered will be fully paid and non-assessable. Any shares of preferred stock that are issued will have priority over the common stock with respect to dividend or liquidation rights or both.

Our Board of Directors could create and issue a series of preferred stock with rights, privileges or restrictions which effectively discriminates against an existing or prospective holder of stock as a result of the holder beneficially owning or commencing a tender offer for a substantial amount of common stock. One of the effects of authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of capital stock may be to make it more difficult or discourage an attempt by a potential acquirer to obtain control of our company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. The issuance of these shares of capital stock may defer or prevent a change in control of our company without any further shareholder action.

The transfer agent for each series of preferred stock will be described in the prospectus supplement.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

We may offer debt securities in one or more series which may be senior debt securities, senior subordinated debt securities or subordinated debt securities, and which may be convertible into another security.

The following description briefly sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities. The particular terms of the debt securities offered by any prospectus supplement and the extent, if any, to which the following general terms and provisions may apply to the debt securities, will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement any other special considerations for any debt securities we sell which are denominated in a currency or currency unit other than U.S. dollars. In addition, debt securities may be issued where the amount of principal and/or interest payable is determined by reference to one or more currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity indices or other factors. Holders of such securities may receive a principal amount or a payment of interest that is greater than or less than the amount of principal or interest otherwise payable on such dates, depending upon the value of the applicable currencies, commodities, equity indices or other factors. Information as to the methods for determining the amount of principal or interest, if any, payable on any date, the currencies, commodities, equity indices or other factors to which the amount payable on such date is linked will be described in an accompanying prospectus supplement.

United States federal income tax consequences and special considerations, if any, applicable to any such series will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless we inform you otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not be listed on any securities exchange.

We expect most debt securities to be issued in fully registered form without coupons and in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Subject to the limitations provided in the indenture and in the prospectus supplement, debt securities that are issued in registered form may be transferred or exchanged at the designated corporate trust office of the trustee, without the payment of any service charge, other than any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Governing Law

The indenture and the debt securities shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.

Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a warrant agent.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

We may issue units consisting of one or more warrants, debt securities, shares of preferred stock, shares of common stock or any combination of such securities. The terms of any units being offered will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the following terms of the units in respect of which this prospectus is delivered:

•

the terms of the units and of the warrants, debt securities and common stock comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances the securities comprising the units may be traded separately;

•

a description of the terms of any unit agreement governing the units; and

•

a description of the provisions for the payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units.

FORM OF SECURITIES

Each debt security, warrant and unit will be represented either by a certificate issued in definitive form to a particular investor or by one or more global securities representing the entire issuance of securities. Certificated securities in definitive form and global securities will be issued in registered form. Definitive securities name you or your nominee as the owner of the security, and in order to transfer or exchange these securities or to receive payments other than interest or other interim payments, you or your nominee must physically deliver the securities to the trustee, registrar, paying agent or other agent, as applicable. Global securities name a depositary or its nominee as the owner of the debt securities, warrants or units represented by these global securities. The depositary maintains a computerized system that will reflect each investor’s beneficial ownership of the securities through an account maintained by the investor with its broker/dealer, bank, trust company or other representative, as we explain more fully below.

Global Securities

We may issue the registered debt securities, warrants and units in the form of one or more fully registered global securities, including in the form of a direct registration, that will be deposited with a depositary or its nominee identified in the applicable prospectus supplement and registered in the name of that depositary or nominee. In those cases, one or more registered global securities will be issued in a denomination or aggregate denominations equal to the portion of the aggregate principal or face amount of the securities to be represented by registered global securities. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole for securities in definitive registered form, a registered global security may not be transferred except as a whole by and among the depositary for the registered global security, the nominees of the depositary or any successors of the depositary or those nominees.

If not described below, any specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any securities to be represented by a registered global security will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to those securities. We anticipate that the following provisions will apply to all depositary arrangements.

Ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be limited to persons, called participants, that have accounts with the depositary or persons that may hold interests through participants. Upon the issuance of a registered global security, the depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the participants’ accounts with the respective principal or face amounts of the securities beneficially owned by the participants. Any dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the securities will designate the accounts to be credited. Ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary, with respect to interests of participants, and on the records of participants, with respect to interests of persons holding through participants. The laws of some states may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of these securities in definitive form. These laws may impair your ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in registered global securities.

So long as the depositary, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a registered global security, that depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the securities represented by the registered global security for all purposes under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement, unit agreement or other instrument governing such securities. Except as described below, owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security will not be entitled to have the securities represented by the registered global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the securities under the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

applicable indenture, warrant agreement, unit agreement or other instrument governing such securities. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a registered global security must rely on the procedures of the depositary for that registered global security and, if that person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which the person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement, unit agreement or other instrument governing such securities. We understand that under existing industry practices, if we request any action of holders or if an owner of a beneficial interest in a registered global security desires to give or take any action that a holder is entitled to give or take under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement, unit agreement or other instrument governing such securities, the depositary for the registered global security would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take that action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through them to give or take that action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding through them.

Principal, premium, if any, and interest payments on debt securities, and any payments to holders with respect to warrants, units or other instrument governing such securities, represented by a registered global security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the registered global security. None of Ivanhoe, the trustees, the warrant agents, the unit agents or any other agent of Ivanhoe, agent of the trustees or agent of the warrant agents or unit agents will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the registered global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to those beneficial ownership interests.

We expect that the depositary for any of the securities represented by a registered global security, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, interest or other distribution of underlying securities or other property to holders on that registered global security, will immediately credit participants’ accounts in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in that registered global security as shown on the records of the depositary. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security held through participants will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of those participants.

If the depositary for any of these securities represented by a registered global security is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act is not appointed by us within 90 days, we will issue securities in definitive form in exchange for the registered global security that had been held by the depositary. Any securities issued in definitive form in exchange for a registered global security will be registered in the name or names that the depositary gives to the relevant trustee, warrant agent, unit agent or other relevant agent of ours or theirs. It is expected that the depositary’s instructions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the registered global security that had been held by the depositary.

In connection with such a transaction, the third parties may sell securities covered by and pursuant to this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, as the case may be. If so, the third party may use securities borrowed from us or others to settle such sales and may use securities received from us to close out any related short positions.

A prospectus supplement with respect to each series of securities will state the terms of the offering of the securities, including:

•

the name or names of any underwriters or agents and the amounts of securities underwritten or purchased by each of them, if any;

•

the public offering price or purchase price of the securities and the proceeds to be received by us from the sale;

•

any delayed delivery arrangements;

•

any underwriting discounts or agency fees and other items constituting underwriters’ or agents’ compensation;

•

any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and

•

any securities exchange on which the securities may be listed.

The offer and sale of the securities described in this prospectus by us, the underwriters or the third parties described above may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions, including privately negotiated transactions, either:

•

at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;

•

at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

•

at prices related to the prevailing market prices; or

•

at negotiated prices.

General

Any public offering price and any discounts, commissions, concessions or other items constituting compensation allowed or reallowed or paid to underwriters, dealers, agents or remarketing firms may be changed from time to time. Underwriters, dealers, agents and remarketing firms that participate in the distribution of the offered securities may be “underwriters” as defined in the Securities Act. Any discounts or

TABLE OF CONTENTS

commissions they receive from us and any profits they receive on the resale of the offered securities may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. We will identify any underwriters, agents or dealers and describe their commissions, fees or discounts in the applicable prospectus supplement.

At-the-Market Offerings

If we reach an agreement with an underwriter on a placement, including the number of shares of common stock to be offered in the placement and any minimum price below which sales may not be made, such underwriter would agree to use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, to try to sell such shares on such terms. Underwriters could make sales in privately negotiated transactions and/or any other method permitted by law, including sales deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, sales made directly on the NYSE American, the existing trading market for our common stock, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. The name of any such underwriter or agent involved in the offer and sale of our common stock, the amounts underwritten, and the nature of its obligations to take our common stock will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Underwriters and Agents

If underwriters are used in a sale, they will acquire the offered securities for their own account. The underwriters may resell the offered securities in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions.

These sales may be made at a fixed public offering price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of the sale, at prices related to such prevailing market price or at negotiated prices. We may offer the securities to the public through an underwriting syndicate or through a single underwriter. The underwriters in any particular offering will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, as the case may be.

Unless otherwise specified in connection with any particular offering of securities, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the offered securities will be subject to certain conditions contained in an underwriting agreement that we will enter into with the underwriters at the time of the sale to them. The underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities of the series offered if any of the securities are purchased, unless otherwise specified in connection with any particular offering of securities. Any initial offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed, reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

We may designate agents to sell the offered securities. Unless otherwise specified in connection with any particular offering of securities, the agents will agree to use their best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of their appointment. We may also sell the offered securities to one or more remarketing firms, acting as principals for their own accounts or as agents for us. These firms will remarket the offered securities upon purchasing them in accordance with a redemption or repayment pursuant to the terms of the offered securities. A prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, as the case may be, will identify any remarketing firm and will describe the terms of its agreement, if any, with us and its compensation.

In connection with offerings made through underwriters or agents, we may enter into agreements with such underwriters or agents pursuant to which we receive our outstanding securities in consideration for the securities being offered to the public for cash. In connection with these arrangements, the underwriters or agents may also sell securities covered by this prospectus to hedge their positions in these outstanding securities, including in short sale transactions. If so, the underwriters or agents may use the securities received from us under these arrangements to close out any related open borrowings of securities.

Dealers

We may sell the offered securities to dealers as principals. We may negotiate and pay dealers’ commissions, discounts or concessions for their services. The dealer may then resell such securities to the public either at varying prices to be determined by the dealer or at a fixed offering price agreed to with us at the time of resale. Dealers engaged by us may allow other dealers to participate in resales.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Direct Sales

Institutional Purchasers

The applicable prospectus supplement will provide the details of any such arrangement, including the offering price and commissions payable on the solicitations.

We will enter into such delayed contracts only with institutional purchasers that we approve. These institutions may include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies and educational and charitable institutions.

Indemnification; Other Relationships

We may have agreements with agents, underwriters, dealers and remarketing firms to indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Agents, underwriters, dealers and remarketing firms, and their affiliates, may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business. This includes commercial banking and investment banking transactions.
