[S-1/A] Mullen Automotive, Inc. Amends IPO Registration Statement
Bollinger Innovations, Inc. filed an amendment to its Form S-1/A registering 6,000,000 shares of common stock for resale by selling stockholders. The registration covers shares issuable upon conversion of outstanding Notes, Warrants and newly issued Series F and G Preferred Stock. As of August 6, 2025 the company reported approximately $49.0 million aggregate principal and accrued interest of Notes (convertible into 9,839,097 shares), Warrants exercisable for 459,616 shares, Series F convertible into 4,563,315 shares and Series G convertible into 23,003,048 shares. Based on conversion floors the filing states the maximum potential issuance could be approximately 2,783 million shares, which would be highly dilutive. The company reports manufacturing activity (Tunica plant shipping Class 3 in Sept 2023 and Class 1 in Nov 2023), acquisition of Romeo Battery assets, and increased ownership of Bollinger Motors to 95%. The filing discloses Nasdaq compliance pressure (MVLS notice with an Aug 25, 2025 compliance deadline), recent reverse stock splits (including 1-for-100 on June 2, 2025 and 1-for-250 on Aug 4, 2025), and that cashless warrant exercise likely yields no cash proceeds to the company.
Bollinger Innovations, Inc. ha presentato un emendamento al suo Modulo S-1/A registrando 6,000,000 azioni ordinarie per la rivendita da parte degli azionisti venditori. La registrazione copre azioni emesse alla conversione di Notes, Warrants e delle nuove azioni privilegiate Serie F e G. Al 6 agosto 2025 la società ha segnalato circa $49.0 million di importo principale e interessi maturati relativi ai Notes (convertibili in 9,839,097 azioni), Warrants esercitabili per 459,616 azioni, Serie F convertibile in 4,563,315 azioni e Serie G convertibile in 23,003,048 azioni. In base ai livelli minimi di conversione, il documento indica che l'emissione potenziale massima potrebbe essere di circa 2,783 million azioni, con forte effetto diluitivo. La società riporta attività produttive (stabilimento di Tunica: spedizioni Class 3 a set 2023 e Class 1 a nov 2023), l'acquisizione degli asset di Romeo Battery e l'aumento della partecipazione in Bollinger Motors al 95%. Il deposito dichiara inoltre pressioni di conformità da parte del Nasdaq (avviso MVLS con scadenza di conformità Aug 25, 2025), recenti raggruppamenti azionari inversi (inclusi 1-per-100 il 2 giugno 2025 e 1-per-250 il 4 ago 2025) e che l'esercizio senza pagamento in contanti dei warrant probabilmente non genererà proventi in contanti per la società.

Bollinger Innovations, Inc.는 Form S-1/A 수정서를 제출하여 매각 주주에 의한 재매각을 위해 6,000,000주의 보통주를 등록했습니다. 이 등록은 기존의 Notes, Warrants 및 새로 발행된 Series F 및 G 우선주의 전환으로 발행될 주식을 포함합니다. 2025년 8월 6일 기준 회사는 약 $49.0 million의 Notes 원금 및 미지급 이자(9,839,097주로 전환 가능), 459,616주 행사 가능한 Warrants, Series F가 4,563,315주로 전환 가능하고 Series G가 23,003,048주로 전환 가능하다고 보고했습니다. 전환 하한을 기준으로 제출 서류는 잠재적 최대 발행이 약 2,783 million주에 달할 수 있으며 이는 상당한 희석을 초래할 수 있다고 명시합니다. 회사는 제조 활동(튜니카 공장: 2023년 9월 Class 3 배송 및 2023년 11월 Class 1 배송), Romeo Battery 자산 인수, Bollinger Motors 지분을 95%로 늘린 사실을 보고합니다. 제출서는 또한 Nasdaq 규정 준수 압력(MVLS 통지, 준수 마감일 Aug 25, 2025), 최근의 역병합(2025-06-02의 1대100 및 2025-08-04의 1대250 포함)과 현금 지급 없는 워런트 행사 시 회사로의 현금 유입이 거의 없을 것임을 공개합니다.
Bollinger Innovations, Inc. a déposé un amendement à son formulaire S-1/A enregistrant 6,000,000 actions ordinaires en vue de la revente par des actionnaires cédants. L'enregistrement couvre des actions pouvant être émises lors de la conversion de Notes en circulation, de Warrants et des nouvelles actions privilégiées Série F et G. Au 6 août 2025, la société a déclaré environ $49.0 million de principal et d'intérêts courus liés aux Notes (convertibles en 9,839,097 actions), des Warrants exerçables pour 459,616 actions, la Série F convertible en 4,563,315 actions et la Série G convertible en 23,003,048 actions. Sur la base des planchers de conversion, le dépôt indique qu'une émission maximale potentielle pourrait atteindre environ 2,783 million d'actions, ce qui serait fortement dilutif. La société signale une activité de fabrication (usine de Tunica: expéditions Class 3 en sept. 2023 et Class 1 en nov. 2023), l'acquisition des actifs de Romeo Battery et une participation accrue dans Bollinger Motors à 95%. Le dossier révèle également des pressions de conformité du Nasdaq (avis MVLS avec date limite de conformité Aug 25, 2025), des recentrages inverses récents (dont un regroupement 1-pour-100 le 2 juin 2025 et 1-pour-250 le 4 août 2025) et que l'exercice sans apport de liquidités des warrants ne devrait vraisemblablement pas générer d'encaisse pour la société.
Bollinger Innovations, Inc. hat eine Änderung zu ihrem Formular S-1/A eingereicht und 6,000,000 Stammaktien zur Wiederveräußerung durch verkaufende Aktionäre registriert. Die Registrierung umfasst Aktien, die bei Umwandlung aus ausstehenden Notes, Warrants und neu ausgegebenen Series F und G Vorzugsaktien entstehen. Zum 6. August 2025 meldete das Unternehmen insgesamt rund $49.0 million Nennbetrag und aufgelaufene Zinsen der Notes (umwandelbar in 9,839,097 Aktien), Warrants ausübbar für 459,616 Aktien, Serie F umwandelbar in 4,563,315 Aktien und Serie G umwandelbar in 23,003,048 Aktien. Basierend auf Umwandlungsuntergrenzen gibt die Einreichung an, dass die potenzielle Maximalemission etwa 2,783 million Aktien betragen könnte, was stark verwässernd wäre. Das Unternehmen berichtet über Produktionsaktivität (Werk Tunica: Versand Class 3 im Sept 2023 und Class 1 im Nov 2023), den Erwerb der Romeo Battery-Vermögenswerte und eine erhöhte Beteiligung an Bollinger Motors auf 95%. Die Einreichung legt zudem Nasdaq-Compliance-Druck offen (MVLS-Mitteilung mit Compliance-Deadline Aug 25, 2025), jüngste Reverse Stock Splits (u. a. 1-zu-100 am 2. Juni 2025 und 1-zu-250 am 4. Aug 2025) und dass eine cashless Ausübung von Warrants voraussichtlich keine Barmittelzuflüsse für das Unternehmen zur Folge hat.
- Acquisition and consolidation: Company increased ownership of Bollinger Motors to 95%, strengthening its commercial EV portfolio.
- Manufacturing activity: Tunica plant commissioned and began shipping Class 3 trucks in Sept 2023 and Class 1 vans in Nov 2023; Class 4 production via contract manufacturer began Sept 2024.
- Vertical integration: Purchase of Romeo Battery assets establishes in-house module and pack manufacturing capability.
- Extreme dilution risk: Filing states a maximum potential issuance of approximately 2,783 million shares based on conversion/exercise floors.
- Large convertible obligations: Approximately $49.0 million aggregate principal and interest of Notes (convertible into 9,839,097 shares), Series F convertible into 4,563,315 shares and Series G convertible into 23,003,048 shares as of Aug 6, 2025.
- Nasdaq listing risk: Received MVLS notice on Feb 25, 2025 with a compliance deadline of Aug 25, 2025, risking delisting if not cured.
- Cashless warrant exercise: Warrants include a cashless exercise provision and company states it is unlikely to receive cash proceeds from warrant exercises.
- Repeated reverse splits: Multiple reverse stock splits (including 1-for-100 on June 2, 2025 and 1-for-250 on Aug 4, 2025) which Nasdaq cautions may undermine investor confidence.
Insights
TL;DR: Large outstanding convertible instruments create severe dilution risk and liquidity uncertainty for shareholders.
The filing registers 6,000,000 resale shares but discloses a far larger contingent dilution pool tied to convertible notes, warrants and preferreds. Explicit figures: approximately $49.0M of convertible notes (≈9.84M shares at stated conversion terms), Series F and G preferred convertible into tens of millions of shares, and a stated maximum of ~2,783 million shares under floor assumptions. Cashless warrant mechanics and low exercise floors further amplify dilution while providing little to no cash to the company. These dynamics materially affect per-share economics and capital structure.
Impact rating: -1
TL;DR: Governance and listing risks are elevated by repeated reverse splits, exchange covenants and a Nasdaq MVLS notice.
The company disclosed multiple reverse stock splits since 2023 (including 1-for-100 on June 2, 2025 and 1-for-250 on August 4, 2025) and a Nasdaq Market Value of Listed Securities notice requiring compliance by Aug 25, 2025. The Exchange Agreement imposes covenants limiting issuance during specified periods and contains remedies for failure to deliver conversion shares. Frequent reverse splits and Nasdaq notices are material governance issues that may undermine investor confidence and affect market access.

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED AUGUST 8, 2025
PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
BOLLINGER INNOVATIONS, INC.
6,000,000 Shares of Common Stock
This prospectus of Bollinger Innovations, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Bollinger”), relates solely to the resale by the investors listed in the section of this prospectus entitled “Selling Stockholders” (collectively, with any of such stockholders’ transferees, pledgees, assignees, distributees, donees or successors-in-interest, the “Selling Stockholders”) of up to 6,000,000 shares (“Offered Shares”) of our Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), issuable upon (i) conversion of convertible notes (the “Notes”) and exercise of warrants to purchase Common Stock (“Warrants”) that are currently outstanding and issued pursuant to Securities Purchase Agreements (as described in this prospectus) between the Company and the Selling Stockholders, as applicable, (ii) conversion of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series F Preferred Stock”), and (iii) conversion of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series G Preferred Stock” and together with the Series F Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”).
As of August 6, 2025, there was outstanding (i) approximately $49.0 million aggregate principal amount and accumulated interest of Notes, convertible into an aggregate of 9,839,097 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms thereof, (ii) Warrants, exercisable on a cashless basis as of such date and pursuant to the terms thereof, for an aggregate of 459,616 shares of Common Stock, (iii) approximately 22,635 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, convertible into an aggregate of 4,563,315 shares of Common Stock, including accrued dividends, pursuant to the terms of its Certificate of Designations, and (iv) approximately 106,044 shares of Series G Preferred Stock, convertible into an aggregate of 23,003,048 shares of Common Stock, all of which are held by the Selling Stockholders, and which total amount represents approximately 93.8% beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of that date. Based on their respective terms, however, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes, Warrants and the Preferred Stock would substantially increase as the stock price declines. The maximum number of shares that are issuable upon conversion of the Notes and Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants, based on price floors set forth in their conversion and exercise terms, as applicable, held by the Selling Stockholders is approximately 2,783 million. For a description of the Notes, Warrants and Preferred Stock, including further information about the conversion and exercise provisions, as applicable, see the sections entitled “Notes, Warrants and Preferred Stock Transactions” and “Description of Capital Stock – Preferred Stock” in this prospectus. The Notes, Warrants and Preferred Stock are not convertible by a holder to the extent that the holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the Common Stock. Given the substantial number of shares being registered for potential resale by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus, whether as a result of substantial sales of our Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders or the perception in the market that holders intend to sell their shares, the market price of shares of our Common Stock could decline significantly and the volatility of the market price of our Common Stock could increase significantly. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 9 of this prospectus for more information.
We are not selling any securities under this prospectus and will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Offered Shares by the Selling Stockholders. Although we would receive the proceeds from the cash exercise of the Warrants per their terms, we are unlikely to receive any cash proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants as the Warrants include a cashless exercise provision and it is highly unlikely that a holder would wish to pay an exercise price to receive one share when they could choose to exercise pursuant to the cashless exercise provision and pay no money to receive a greater number of shares.
This prospectus registers 6,000,000 shares and, as such, only covers a portion of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes and Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreements entered into with the Selling Stockholders, the Company agreed to file one or more registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of all shares issuable pursuant to the conversion of the Notes and Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants.
Each share of Common Stock offered under this prospectus has associated with it one right to purchase from us one ten-thousandth of a share of our Series A-1 Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, under our Rights Agreement (as defined herein). Please see the section entitled “Description of Securities— Rights Agreement; Series A-1 Junior Participating Preferred Stock” in this prospectus for a more detailed discussion.
The additional shares of our Common Stock included in this prospectus are being registered for resale pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreements to cover additional shares of Common Stock that may be issuable under the conversion, exercise and anti-dilution provisions contained in the terms of the Notes, Warrants and Preferred Stock and described herein under “Notes, Warrants and Preferred Stock Transactions.”
Our registration of the Offered Shares covered by this prospectus does not mean that the Selling Stockholders will offer or sell any of the Offered Shares. The Selling Stockholders may sell the Offered Shares covered by this prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices. For additional information on the possible methods of sale that may be used by the Selling Stockholders, you should refer to the section of this prospectus entitled “Plan of Distribution” of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the Offered Shares sold by the Selling Stockholders, other than any proceeds from any cash exercise of the Warrants.
No underwriter or other person has been engaged to facilitate the sale of our Common Stock in this offering. The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents may, individually but not severally, be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, of the shares of Common Stock that they are offering pursuant to this prospectus. We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the Offered Shares. The Selling Stockholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to their respective sales of Common Stock.
You should read this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus carefully before you invest. Our Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BINI”. On August 7, 2025, the last reported sale price of our Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market was $2.14 per share.
We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined under the federal securities laws and, as such, are eligible for reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus and future filings. See “Prospectus Summary - Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company”.
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making any investment in our securities, you should read and carefully consider the risks described in this prospectus under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 9 of this prospectus and in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus include forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “seek,” “predict,” “continue,” “possible,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “could,” would” or “should” or, in each case, their negative, or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, development, manufacturing and sales of our vehicles, our operations, prospects, strategies, and the industry in which we operate. We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and may not be accurate indications of when such performance or results will be achieved. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this prospectus may not occur and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus represent our judgment as of the date of this prospectus. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information, except to the extent required by applicable laws. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained throughout this prospectus.
You should read this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and the documents that we reference in this prospectus and have filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect. All forward-looking statements are based upon information available to us on the date of this prospectus.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained (or incorporated by reference) in this prospectus, those results may not be indicative of results in subsequent periods.
Forward-looking statements necessarily involve risks and uncertainties, and our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward- looking statements due to several factors, including those set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC, as such risk factors may be amended, supplemented, or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC, including subsequent Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and the risk factors described under the caption “Risk Factors” in any applicable prospectus supplement. See “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Information Incorporated by Reference.” The factors set forth below under “Risk Factors” and other cautionary statements made in this prospectus should be read and understood as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this prospectus.
You should read this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and the documents that we reference in this prospectus and have filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

Our Company
Bollinger is a Southern California-based technology and automotive company that is building and delivering the newest generation of Commercial Trucks.
The Company entered the Commercial Truck Business in the later part of 2022. On September 7, 2022, the acquisition of Bollinger Motors, Inc. (“Bollinger Motors”) was announced. The purchase price was $148.6 million in cash and stock for a 60% controlling interest, which provided Bollinger with majority ownership of Bollinger Motors, Inc. This provided Bollinger short term entry into the medium duty truck classes 4-6, and also the possibility to enter the Sport Utility and Pick Up Truck EV segments. In accordance with the stock purchase agreement signed on July 26, 2024, the Company, as part of activities to launch production in the Bollinger Motors segment, invested an additional $12.7 million in newly issued shares of the subsidiary ($18.7 million by January 23, 2025), increasing controlling interest of the Company to 66% on a fully diluted basis at September 30, 2024 (and to approximately 68% by January 23, 2025). On June 2, 2025, the Company acquired additional shares increasing its ownership of Bollinger Motors to 95%.
The acquisition of Bollinger Motors gave Bollinger a portfolio in the Commercial EV truck market with vehicles ranging from Class 1 to 6 where the Company believes there is very little current competition and, in some segments, no other announced entries.
The Tunica Mississippi manufacturing plant was equipped during 2023 as the Commercial Manufacturing Center. Tunica was commissioned with two lines to manufacture the Class 1 and 3 vehicles and began shipping Class 3 trucks in September 2023 and Class 1 vans in November 2023. Bollinger Motors has a contract manufacturing relationship with Roush Enterprises in Livonia, Michigan that began producing Class 4 trucks in September 2024.
Another key strategic transaction was the purchase of the assets of Romeo Battery. This established the base for in house manufacturing of modules and packs for Bollinger vehicles as well the possibility for sales to non-Bollinger customers as well.
The FIVE, the Company’s first planned consumer electric crossover, has been put on hold as Bollinger focuses its efforts and resources on the commercial EV market segment that we believe has more opportunities.
Notes, Warrants and Preferred Stock Transactions
As further described in this prospectus, since May 2024, the Company has issued from time to time 5% Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Notes (the “Notes”) convertible into shares of Common Stock (the “Note Shares”) and, five-year warrants (the “Warrants”) exercisable for 200% of the shares of Common Stock underlying such Notes at an exercise price equal to 105% of closing sale price of the Common Stock on execution date, subject to further adjustment (the “Warrant Shares”). The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 15% per annum, have an original issue discount of 5% and mature four months from the date of issuance. As security for payment of the amounts due and payable under the Notes, the Company granted a continuing security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, its assets, whether owned, existing, acquired or arising and wherever located. The Warrants may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis based upon a formula using a predefined Black Scholes Value and with a floor of $0.01, which is not subject to adjustment. In the event that the Company has met certain conditions and the stock has increased 250% from the then-conversion price of the Notes for 10 consecutive days, the Company will be entitled to require the holders to exercise the Warrants for cash.
In July 2025, pursuant to an exchange transaction, the Company issued shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series F Preferred Stock”), and Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series G Preferred Stock” and together with the Series F Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”), which are convertible into shares of Common Stock, as further described below.
The Notes, Warrants and Preferred Stock are not convertible or exercisable, as applicable, by a holder to the extent that the holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.9% of the Common Stock.
1
The Company also entered into registration rights agreements pursuant to which the Company agreed to prepare and file one or more registration statements with the SEC covering the resale of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and Preferred Stock. The Company also agreed to provide certain piggyback registration rights to the investors.
As of August 6, 2025, there was outstanding (i) approximately $49.0 million aggregate principal amount and accumulated interest of Notes, convertible into an aggregate of 9,839,097 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms thereof, (ii) Warrants, exercisable on a cashless basis as of such date and pursuant to the terms thereof, for an aggregate of 459,616 shares of Common Stock, (iii) approximately 22,635 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, convertible into an aggregate of 4,563,315 shares of Common Stock, including accrued dividends, pursuant to the terms of its Certificate of Designations, and (iv) approximately 106,044 shares of Series G Preferred Stock, convertible into an aggregate of 23,003,048 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of its Certificate of Designations. Based on their respective terms, however, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes and Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants would substantially increase as the stock price declines. The maximum number of shares that are issuable upon conversion of the Notes and Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants, based on price floors set forth in their conversion terms, respectively, held by the Selling Stockholders is approximately 2,783 million.
Exchange Transaction
On July 29, 2025, the Company entered into an Amendment and Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with the Selling Stockholders, pursuant to which the Company agreed to exchange certain Notes (the “Exchange Notes”) and Warrants (the “Exchange Warrants”) previously issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements, as may have been amended from time to time, dated May 14, 2024, January 23, 2025, February 5, 2025, March 6, 2025, May 16, 2025, and two agreements each dated May 29, 2025 (each a “Securities Purchase Agreement” and collectively, the “Securities Purchase Agreements”). The Securities Purchase Agreements are further described below. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Exchange Notes, with an aggregate principal and accrued interest of approximately $25.5 million were exchanged for the issuance of approximately 25,521 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, and Exchange Warrants, exercisable (on a cash basis) for approximately 4.3 million shares of Common Stock, were exchanged for the issuance of approximately 109,219 shares of Series G Preferred Stock.
Each share of Series F Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into shares of Common Stock by dividing the conversion amount (the stated value of $1,000 per share multiplied by the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock being converted) by the lower of (a) the applicable Conversion Fixed Price for the relevant series (“Conversion Fixed Price” means (1) for the F-1 Preferred Shares, $775, (2) for the F-2 Preferred Shares, $1,150, (3) for the F-3 Preferred Shares, $156,060, (4) for the F-4 Preferred Shares, $3,401, (5) for the F-5 Preferred Shares, $248,000, (6) for the F-6 Preferred Shares, $642,000, (7) for the F-7 Preferred Shares, $18,500, (8) for the F-8 Preferred Shares, $51,400, and (9) for the F-9 Preferred Shares, $346,800,000), (b) 95% of the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the date the initial registration statement for such series is declared effective by the SEC, or (c) 95% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price (VWAP) in the five trading days prior to the conversion date, but in no event less than the applicable Conversion Floor Price (“Conversion Floor Price” means (1) for the F-1 Preferred Shares, $0.02, (2) for the F-2 Preferred Shares, $0.03, (3) for the F-3 Preferred Shares, $0.05, (4) for the F-4 Preferred Shares, $0.07, (5) for the F-5 Preferred Shares, $0.08, (6) for the F-6 Preferred Shares, $0.21, (7) for the F-7 Preferred Shares, $0.37, (8) for the F-8 Preferred Shares, $1.03, and (9) for the F-9 Preferred Shares, $1.16, which amounts are not subject to adjustment for stock dividends, subdivisions, or combinations). The Conversion Fixed Price and shares are subject to adjustment, pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, in the event of stock dividends and stock splits, and subsequent equity sales. As of August 6, 2025, there were outstanding approximately 22,635 shares of Series F Preferred Stock convertible into 4,563,315 shares of Common Stock (including accrued dividends) held by the Selling Stockholders.
Each share of Series G Preferred Stock is convertible at any time prior to the applicable conversion maturity date into shares of Common Stock, determined by dividing the stated value of $1,000 per share of Series G Preferred Stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassifications, combinations, subdivisions or other similar events with respect to the Series G Preferred Stock) by the lower of the two closing bid prices of the Common Stock in the two days prior to the date of such conversion, but in any event not less than $0.10 per share.

Recent Developments
Reverse Stock Splits
Since May 2023, the Company has effected a total of eight reverse stock splits, and may effect more reverse stock splits in the future. The primary purpose for the reverse stock splits and any future reverse stock split, should the Company choose to effect any, would be to increase the per share market price of its Common Stock to satisfy continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, which requires a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 per share. While we expect that the reduction in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock will proportionally increase the market price of our Common Stock, we cannot assure you that any future reverse stock split will increase the market price of our Common Stock by a multiple of the chosen reverse stock split ratio, or result in any permanent or sustained increase in the market price of our Common Stock. See “Risk Factors” in this prospectus for more information.
Effective June 2, 2025, the Company implemented a reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-100 shares (the “June Reverse Stock Split”), and effective August 4, 2025, the Company implemented a reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-250 shares (the “August Reverse Stock Split” and together with the June Reverse Stock Split, the “Reverse Stock Splits”). The Reverse Stock Splits did not change the authorized number of shares or the par value of the Common Stock nor modify any voting rights of the Common Stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Splits and each fractional share resulting from the Reverse Stock Splits were rounded up to the next whole share.
All historical share and per share amounts reflected throughout this prospectus have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Splits. However, our periodic and current reports, and all other documents that were filed prior to June 2, 2025, with regards to the June Reverse Stock Split, and August 4, 2025, with regards to the August Reverse Stock Split, do not give effect to the Reverse Stock Splits, as applicable. The following table presents selected share information reflecting on a retroactive basis the Reverse Stock Splits for the periods provided below. The following selected share information has been derived from our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024, filed with the SEC on January 24, 2025, and our unaudited financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on May 20, 2025 and February 19, 2025, respectively. Our historical results are not indicative of the results that may be expected in the future, and results of interim periods are not indicative of the results for the entire year.

Nasdaq Notice Regarding Market Value of Listed Securities
On February 25, 2025, we received a written notice from Nasdaq notifying us that for the last 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the notice, our Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was less than the $35.0 million minimum required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Listing Rule”). Additionally, as of the date of the notice, we also did not meet either of the alternative Nasdaq continued listing standards under the Nasdaq Listing Rules: stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million or net income of $500,000 from continuing operations in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the three most recently completed fiscal years. The Company has until August 25, 2025 to regain compliance with the MVLS Listing Rule. In order to regain compliance with the MVLS Listing Rule, the Company’s MVLS must meet or exceed $35.0 million for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the 180-day compliance period after which Nasdaq will provide us written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed. In the event we do not regain compliance with the MVLS Listing Rule, Nasdaq will provide notice that our securities will be subject to delisting, at which time, we may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that we will regain compliance with the MVLS Listing Rule or otherwise maintain compliance with any of the other Nasdaq listing requirements. For further information about the Company’s compliance with Nasdaq listing rules, see “Risk Factors - We may not be able to maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market.”
Legal Proceedings
On June 20, 2025, the United States District Court for the Central District of California granted approval of the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement entered into on August 14, 2024 between the court-appointed lead plaintiff, the Company, Mr. Michery, and the Company’s predecessor, Mullen Technologies, Inc., and dismissed with prejudice the claims asserted in the related putative class action lawsuit (In re Mullen Automotive Inc. Securities Litigation), which is further described in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on May 20, 2025.
Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company
We are a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that the market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million and our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company after this offering if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million as of the last business day of our second fiscal quarter or (ii) our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company, we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

THE OFFERING
We are registering for resale by the Selling Stockholders named herein the 6,000,000 shares of our Common Stock as described below.
Securities being offered | 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants held by the Selling Stockholders. The additional shares of Common Stock included in this prospectus are being registered for resale pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreements to cover additional shares of Common Stock that may be issuable pursuant to the conversion, exercise and anti-dilution provisions contained in the terms of the Notes, Warrants and Preferred Stock and described herein under “Notes, Warrants and Preferred Stock Transactions.” | |
Shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to this offering | 2,517,729shares | |
Use of Proceeds | We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of shares of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders. Although we would receive the proceeds from the cash exercise of the Warrants per their terms, we are unlikely to receive any cash proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants as the Warrants include a cashless exercise provision and it is highly unlikely that a holder would wish to pay an exercise price to receive one share when they could choose to exercise pursuant to the cashless exercise provision and pay no money to receive a greater number of shares. If the Selling Stockholders choose to exercise the Warrants pursuant to the cashless exercise provisions, then we would receive zero proceeds.
See the section of this prospectus titled “Use of Proceeds.” | |
Market for Common Stock and Ticker Symbol | Our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BINI.” On August 7, 2025, the last reported sale price of our Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market was $2.14 per share. | |
Risk Factors | Investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk and could result in a loss of your entire investment. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 9, and the other information included incorporated by reference in this prospectus for a discussion of the factors you should consider carefully before deciding to invest in our securities. |
The number of shares of Common Stock is based on shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 6, 2025 and excludes, as of that date, the following:
● | Series A Preferred Stock convertible into 4 shares of Common Stock; | |

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities has a high degree of risk. Before you invest you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, the other information in this prospectus, and under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, which are incorporated by reference, and the other information in this prospectus. Any of the risks and uncertainties set forth herein could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the trading price or value of our securities. Additional risks not currently known to us or which we consider immaterial based on information currently available to us may also materially adversely affect us. As a result, you could lose all or part of your investment.
The Selling Stockholders may sell a large number of shares, resulting in substantial diminution to the value of shares of Common Stock held by our current stockholders.
Pursuant to the terms of the Notes and Warrants, they may not be converted into shares of Common Stock to the extent that the issuance of shares of Common Stock would cause the Selling Stockholder to beneficially own more than 9.99% of our then outstanding shares of Common Stock. However, we do not have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales by the Selling Stockholders of the shares registered for resale hereunder. In addition, these restrictions do not prevent the Selling Stockholders from selling shares of Common Stock received in connection with such conversions or exercises and then receiving additional shares of Common Stock in connection with a subsequent issuance. In this way, the Selling Stockholders could sell more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock in a relatively short time frame while never holding more than 9.99% at any one time.
The market price of shares of our Common Stock could decline as a result of substantial sales of our Common Stock, particularly sales by our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders. Further, the registration of the sale of shares of our Common Stock hereunder may create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” whereby a large number of shares of our Common Stock become available for sale or the perception in the market that holders of a large number of shares intend to sell their shares.
The existence of an overhang and the anticipation of such sales, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, could cause the market price of our Common Stock to fall. It could make more difficult our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.
Our outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock contain anti-dilution protection, which may cause significant dilution to our stockholders.
As of August 6, 2025, we had outstanding 2,517,729 shares of Common Stock. As of that same date, we also had outstanding 648 shares of Series A Preferred Stock convertible into an aggregate of 4 shares of Common Stock, 458 shares of Series C Preferred Stock convertible into an aggregate of 1 share of Common Stock, 363,097 shares of Series D Preferred Stock convertible into an aggregate of 1 share of Common Stock, approximately 22,635 shares of Series F Preferred Stock convertible into an aggregate of 94,371 shares of Common Stock, and approximately 106,044 shares of Series G Preferred Stock convertible into an aggregate of 23,003,048 shares of Common Stock. The issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of such shares of preferred stock would dilute the percentage ownership interest of holders of our Common Stock, dilute the book value per share of our Common Stock and increase the number of our publicly traded shares, which could depress the market price of our Common Stock.
In addition, preferred stock, convertible notes and warrants generally contain weighted average anti-dilution provisions which, subject to limited exceptions, would increase the number of shares issuable upon conversion of such securities (by reducing the conversion or exercise price) in the event that we in the future issue Common Stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable to purchase Common Stock, at a price per share lower than the conversion price then in effect.

Our commitments to issue shares of Common Stock or securities that are convertible into shares of Common Stock may cause significant dilution to our stockholders.
Upon conversion and exercise of Notes, Warrants and Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements, including additional investment rights, and the Exchange Agreement, as applicable, the Company is obligated to issue shares of Common Stock that may cause significant dilution to its stockholders. The outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes may be converted by the holder into shares of Common Stock at the lower of certain prices including 95% of the lowest daily VWAP in the five trading days prior to such conversion date. Plus, the conversion prices of the Notes will not be less than amounts ranging from of $1.16 to $0.02 per share, which amounts are not subject to adjustment. If the outstanding Notes held by the Selling Stockholders were exercised, as of August 6, 2025, based on their respective conversion floor prices, the Company would issue an aggregate of approximately 1,219 million shares. The Warrants may also be exercised via a cashless exercise using a predefined Black Scholes Value and with a floor of $0.01 (which is not subject to adjustment). The Series F Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock at the lower of certain prices including 95% of the lowest daily VWAP in the five trading days prior to such conversion date with conversion price floors ranging from $1.16 to $0.20, which amounts are not subject to adjustment. If the outstanding Series F Preferred Stock held by the Selling Stockholders was exercised, as of August 6, 2025, based on their respective conversion floor prices, the Company would issue an aggregate of approximately 291.9 million shares. The Series G Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock based on the lower of the two closing bid prices of the Common Stock in the two days prior to the date of such conversion, but in any event not less than $0.10 per share. If the outstanding Series G Preferred Stock held by the Selling Stockholders was exercised, as of August 6, 2025, based on the conversion floor price, the Company would issue an aggregate of approximately 1,060 million shares.
The Company has also adopted a CEO Award Incentive Plan whereby the Chief Executive Officer is entitled to share-based awards generally calculated as 1-3% of then outstanding number of shares of Common Stock, issuable upon achievement of specific financial and operational targets (milestones) that are supposed to significantly increase value of the Company. Total shares of Common Stock to be issued under the Plans will depend on probability of the milestone achievement and on the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the day a milestone is achieved.
The issuance of additional shares Common Stock or issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of Notes and Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants or upon sales pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement, would dilute the percentage ownership interest of holders of our Common Stock, dilute the book value per share of our Common Stock and increase the number of our publicly traded shares, which could depress the market price of our Common Stock.
Stockholders will likely suffer substantial dilution upon cashless exercise of the Warrants; We will not receive funds upon cashless exercise of the Warrants.
The Warrants provide for cashless exercise pursuant to which the holder will receive upon exercise a “net number” of shares of Common Stock based upon a predefined Black Scholes Value and a factor that is the lower of the two closing bid prices of the Common Stock in the two days prior to exercise with a floor of $0.01 (which is not subject to adjustment). For further information about cashless exercise of the Warrants, see “Private Placement of Notes and Warrants - Description of the Warrants.”
Generally, the number of shares issuable upon cashless exercise of the Warrants primarily depends on the closing bid price of the stock in the last two days prior to exercise. If the stock price is below the fixed exercise price, the holder will most likely exercise the Warrants pursuant to the cashless exercise. The number of shares issuable upon cashless exercise of the Warrants would substantially increase as the stock price declines. If the outstanding Warrants held by the Selling Stockholders were exercised, as of August 6, 2025, based on the $0.01 floor price of the cashless exercise provision, the Company would issue an aggregate of approximately 211.9 million shares. The issuance of shares pursuant to the cashless exercise of the Warrants would substantially dilute the percentage ownership interest of holders of our Common Stock, dilute the book value per share of our Common Stock and increase the number of our publicly traded shares, which could depress the market price of our Common Stock.
Furthermore, if the stock price is below the fixed exercise price of a Warrants, it is highly unlikely that a holder of the Warrants would wish to pay an exercise price in cash to receive one share of Common Stock when they could instead choose the cashless exercise option and pay no cash to receive a larger number of shares of Common Stock. As a result, we will likely not receive, and do not expect to receive, any additional funds upon the exercise of the Warrants.

Our commitments to issue shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Notes, the Warrants the ELOC Purchase Agreement, and Preferred Stock could encourage short sales by third parties, which could contribute to the future decline of our stock price.
Our commitment to issue shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Notes, the Warrants, the ELOC Purchase Agreement, and Preferred Stock has the potential to cause significant downward pressure on the price of our Common Stock. In such an environment, short sellers may contribute exacerbate any decline of our stock price. If there are significant short sales of our Common Stock, the share price of our Common Stock may decline more than it would in an environment without such activity. This may cause other holders of our Common Stock to sell their shares. If there are many more shares of our Common Stock on the market for sale than the market will absorb, the price of our Common Stock will likely decline.
The Selling Stockholders may participate in short sales of our Common Stock. They may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of Common Stock short and deliver shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The Selling Stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares. Such activity could cause a decline in the market price of the shares of our Common Stock.
Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreements and the Exchange Agreement, the Company may not be able to sell securities in order to obtain additional financing, which could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development efforts or other operations.
During the period commencing on the execution dates of the Securities Purchase Agreements and the Exchange Agreement and ending on the date immediately following the 90th day after the latest of: (i) the execution date and (ii) the date on which a registration statement (or registration statements) registering for resale all registrable securities under registration statements has been declared effective by the SEC and (iii), if applicable, the date on which stockholder approval is obtained, the Company has agreed, with certain exceptions, not to directly or indirectly issue, offer, sell, or otherwise dispose of (or make any announcement) any equity security or any equity-linked or related security, any convertible securities, debt (with or related to equity), any preferred stock or any purchase rights. The Company also agreed not to enter into any fundamental, transaction, such as a merger, sale of more than 50% of the outstanding voting shares, sale of substantially all assets, or business combination, unless the successor entity assumes all of the obligations of the Company under the Notes, Warrants and Preferred Stock and the other transaction documents. The Company may file more than one registration statement to register all shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Notes, Warrants and Preferred Stock, including additional Notes and Warrants that may be issued pursuant to the additional investment rights.
If the Company agrees, with certain exceptions, not to directly or indirectly issue, offer, sell, or otherwise dispose of (or make any announcement) any equity security or any equity-linked or related security, any convertible securities, debt (with or related to equity), any preferred stock or any purchase rights and is unable to sell securities, then we may not have the necessary financing to carry out our business plan. If adequate funds are not available to us on a timely basis, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our establishment of sales and marketing, manufacturing or distribution capabilities, development activities or other activities that may be necessary to commercialize our proposed products or other development activities. We might not be able to obtain any funding, and we might not have sufficient resources to conduct our business as projected, both of which could mean that we would be forced to curtail or discontinue our operations.
We may not be able to maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. To maintain that listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other requirements including, without limitation, a requirement that our closing bid price be at least $1.00 per share. Plus, if a company’s security has a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for 10 consecutive trading days, the Listing Qualifications department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) will issue a delisting determination. Since 2023, we have experienced periods during which our Common Stock has traded below $1.00.
11
During 2023 and 2024, we received formal notices from the Nasdaq Staff that, based upon the closing bid price for our Common Stock, for the previous 30-consecutive business day period, the Company no longer satisfied the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). Since May 2023, the Company has effected the following eight reverse stock splits in order to maintain or regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule: a 1-for-250 reverse stock split on August 4, 2025, a 1-for-100 reverse stock split on June 2, 2025; a 1-for-100 reverse stock split on April 11, 2025; a 1-for-60 reverse stock split on February 18, 2025; a 1-for-100 reverse stock split on September 17, 2024; a 1-for-25 reverse stock split on May 4, 2023; a 1-for-9 reverse stock split on August 11, 2023 and a 1-for-100 reverse stock split on December 21, 2023. Plus, if needed, the Company may effectuate additional reverse stock splits.
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv) states that if any listed company fails to meet the Bid Price Rule after effecting one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one, then the company is not eligible for a Bid Price Rule compliance period. On September 16, 2024, in connection with a notice that the Company no longer satisfied the Bid Price Rule, the Staff further indicated that, based upon the Company’s implementation of one or more reverse stock splits within the past two years at a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one in contravention of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv). On September 17, 2024, the Company implemented a 1-for-100 reverse stock split, and on October 16, 2024, the Company announced that it had received formal notice from Nasdaq confirming the Company had regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
While Nasdaq rules do not impose a specific limit on the number of times a listed company may effect a reverse stock split to maintain or regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule, Nasdaq has stated that a series of reverse stock splits may undermine investor confidence in securities listed on Nasdaq. Accordingly, if in the future the Company is not in compliance with the Bid Price Rule and effectuates another reverse stock split, Nasdaq may determine that it is not in the public interest to maintain our listing, even if we regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
On January 15, 2025, the Company received an expected notice from the Staff stating that the Company was no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the SEC, because the Company had not yet filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024. The Company filed the Form 10-K on January 24, 2025.
In addition, on February 25, 2025, we received a written notice from the Staff notifying us that for the last 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the notice, our Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was less than the $35.0 million minimum required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Listing Rule”). Additionally, as of the date of the notice, we also did not meet either of the alternative Nasdaq continued listing standards under the Nasdaq Listing Rules: stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million or net income of $500,000 from continuing operations in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the three most recently completed fiscal years. The Company has until August 25, 2025 to regain compliance with the MVLS Listing Rule. In order to regain compliance with the MVLS Listing Rule, the Company’s MVLS must meet or exceed $35.0 million for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the 180-day compliance period after which the Staff will provide us written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed. In the event we do not regain compliance with the MVLS Listing Rule, the Staff will provide notice that our securities will be subject to delisting, at which time, we may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that we will regain compliance with the MVLS Listing Rule or otherwise maintain compliance with any of the other Nasdaq listing requirements.
If our Common Stock ceases to be listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we would expect that our Common Stock would be traded on one of the three tiered marketplaces of the OTC Markets Group (the “OTC Mkts”). If Nasdaq were to delist our Common Stock, it would be more difficult for our stockholders to dispose of our Common Stock and more difficult to obtain accurate price quotations on our Common Stock. Our ability to issue additional securities for financing or other purposes, or otherwise to arrange for any financing we may need in the future, may also be materially and adversely affected if our Common Stock or warrants are not listed on a national securities exchange. The OTC Markets are generally regarded as a less efficient trading market than The Nasdaq Capital Market or Global Market or the New York Stock Exchange.
Although the OTC Mkts do not have any listing requirements, to be eligible for quotation on the OTC Mkts, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC or applicable regulatory authority. If we are not able to pay the expenses associated with our reporting obligations, we will not be able to apply for quotation on the OTC Board. Market makers are not permitted to begin quotation of a security whose issuer does not meet this filing requirement. If we are delisted to the OTC Mkts and no market is ever developed for our Common Stock or warrants, it will be difficult for you to sell any shares you purchase in this offering. In such a case, you may find that you are unable to achieve any benefit from your investment or liquidate your shares without considerable delay, if at all.

During the past two years, the Company has effected several reverse stock splits and may effect additional reverse stock splits in the future, which may decrease the liquidity of the shares of our Common Stock and may have a dilutive effect on the ownership of existing stockholders.
Since May 2023, the Company has effected the following eight reverse stock splits in order to maintain or regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule: a 1-for-250 reverse stock split on August 4, 2025; a 1-for-100 reverse stock split on June 2, 2025; a 1-for-100 reverse stock split on April 11, 2025; a 1-for-60 reverse stock split on February 18, 2025; a 1-for-100 reverse stock split on September 17, 2024; a 1-for-25 reverse stock split on May 4, 2023; a 1-for-9 reverse stock split on August 11, 2023 and a 1-for-100 reverse stock split on December 21, 2023. Plus, if needed, the Company may effectuate additional reverse stock splits. The primary purpose for a future reverse stock split, should the Company choose to effect it, would be to increase the per share market price of its Common Stock to satisfy the Bid Price Rule and maintain listing The Nasdaq Capital Market.
The liquidity of the shares of our Common Stock may be affected adversely by a reverse stock split given the reduced number of shares that will be outstanding following the reverse stock split, especially if the market price of our Common Stock does not increase as a result of the reverse stock split. In addition, a reverse stock split may increase the number of shareholders who own odd lots (less than 100 shares) of our Common Stock, creating the potential for such shareholders to experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares and greater difficulty effecting such sales.
While we expect that the reduction in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock will proportionally increase the market price of our Common Stock, we cannot assure you that a reverse stock split will increase the market price of our Common Stock by a multiple of the reverse stock split ratio, or result in any permanent or sustained increase in the market price of our Common Stock. The market price of our Common Stock will continue to be based, in part, on our performance and other factors unrelated to the number of shares outstanding. A reverse stock split will reduce the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock without reducing the number of shares of available but unissued Common Stock, which will also have the effect of increasing the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance. The issuance of additional shares of our Common Stock may have a dilutive effect on the ownership of existing stockholders. The current economic environment in which we operate, the debt we carry, along with otherwise volatile equity market conditions, could limit our ability to raise new equity capital in the future.
In addition, a reverse stock split will reduce the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, which may lead to reduced trading and a smaller number of market makers for our Common Stock, particularly if the price per share of our Common Stock does not increase as a result of a reverse stock split.
13
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will receive no proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders.
If all of the Warrants were exercised for cash in full, the proceeds would be approximately $2.4 million. However, we are unlikely to receive any cash proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants as the Warrants include a cashless exercise provision and it is highly unlikely that a holder would wish to pay an exercise price to receive one share when they could choose to exercise pursuant to the cashless exercise provision and pay no money to receive a greater number of shares. If the Selling Stockholders choose to exercise the Warrants pursuant to the cashless exercise provisions, then we would receive zero proceeds. To the extent we receive any proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants, we intend to use the net proceeds for general working capital. We can make no assurances that any of the Warrants will be exercised, or if exercised, that they will be exercised for cash, the quantity which will be exercised or in the period in which they will be exercised.

NOTES AND PREFERRED STOCK TRANSACTIONS
Below is a summary of the terms of the Notes and Warrants issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements and the Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreement in exchange for the Exchange Notes and the Exchange Warrants, which were originally issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements.
Exchange Agreement
On July 29, 2025, the Company entered into an Amendment and Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with the Selling Stockholders, pursuant to which the Company agreed to exchange certain outstanding senior secured convertible notes (the “Exchange Notes”) and warrants (the “Exchange Warrants”) previously issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements, as may have been amended from time to time, dated May 14, 2024, January 23, 2025, February 5, 2025, March 6, 2025, May 16, 2025 and two agreements each dated May 29, 2025 (each a “Securities Purchase Agreement” and collectively, the “Securities Purchase Agreements”). The Securities Purchase Agreements are further described below. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Exchange Notes, with an aggregate principal and accrued interest of approximately $25.5 million were exchanged for approximately 25,521 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, and Exchange Warrants, exercisable (on a cash basis) for approximately 4.3 million shares of Common Stock, were exchanged for approximately 109,219 shares of Series G Preferred Stock. A description of the terms of the Preferred Stock is set forth in the this prospectus under “Description of Securities – Preferred Stock.”
The Exchange Agreement includes certain covenants, including, among others, that (i) the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing of its Common Stock on a stock exchange, (ii) while the Preferred Stock remains outstanding, (A) during a certain 90 day period, the Company will not, with certain exceptions, offer or issue any equity or related securities, and (B) the Company will not, without approval from holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Stock, issue any equity security having a preference over or party with the Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, liquidation or redemption or having a preference over the Common Stock with respect to dividends, liquidation or redemption, and the Company and its subsidiaries will not incur any indebtedness. The Company also agreed not to enter into any fundamental transaction, such as a merger, sale of more than 50% of the outstanding voting shares, sale of substantially all assets, or business combination, unless such transaction complies with the terms of the respective Certificates of Designations. Additionally, the Exchange Agreement amended each of the Securities Purchase Agreements to incorporate the Series F Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock. The Exchange Agreement contains customary representations and warranties between the Company and the holders.
If, upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, the Company fails to timely issue the shares of Common Stock, then, at the sole discretion of the holder, the Company will pay in cash to such Holder on each trading day after the delivery date an amount equal to 1% of the product of the number of shares of Common Stock not so delivered multiplied by the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such delivery date.
As of August 6, 2025, there were outstanding approximately 22,635 shares of Series F Preferred Stock convertible into 4,563,315 shares of Common Stock (including accrued dividends). For illustrative purposes only, the following is a description of the shares issuable pursuant to the respective conversion terms (as described below in “Description of Capital Stock – Preferred Stock”) of shares of Series F Preferred Stock (disregarding the 9.9% Ownership Limitation). Each share of Series F Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into shares of Common Stock by dividing the conversion amount (the stated value of $1,000 per share multiplied by the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock being converted) by the lower of (a) the applicable Conversion Fixed Price for the relevant series, (b) 95% of the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the date the initial registration statement for such series is declared effective by the SEC, or (c) 95% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price (VWAP) in the five trading days prior to the conversion date, but in no event less than the applicable Conversion Floor Price. If the Company’s stock price remains at or higher than the applicable Fixed Conversion Price of the serial designated Series F Preferred Stock, then the total number of shares potentially issuable upon conversion would be based on the applicable Fixed Conversion Price. However, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock substantially increases as the stock price declines below the Fixed Conversion Price. If the lowest daily volume weighted average price in the five trading days prior to August 6, 2025 decreased by $1.00, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the Series F Preferred Stock would increase by approximately 1.1 million shares of Common Stock. If the lowest daily volume weighted average price in the five trading days prior to August 6, 2025 increased by $1.00, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the Series F Preferred Stock would decrease by approximately 731 thousand shares of Common Stock. If the stock price falls to or below the applicable Conversion Floor Price, then the maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock would be approximately 291.9 million shares of Common Stock.
15
As of August 6, 2025, there were outstanding approximately 106,044 shares of Series G Preferred Stock convertible into 23,003,048 shares of Common Stock, based on the lower of the two closing bid prices of the Common Stock in the two days prior to such date. For illustrative purposes only, the following is a description of the shares issuable pursuant to the respective conversion terms (as described below in “Description of Capital Stock – Preferred Stock”) of shares of Series G Preferred Stock (disregarding the 9.9% Ownership Limitation). If the Company’s stock price remains at or higher than the conversion floor price of $0.10, then the total number of shares potentially issuable upon conversion would be the lower of the two closing bid prices of the Common Stock in the two days prior to the date of such conversion divided by the aggregate stated value ($1,000 per share) of such shares of Series G Preferred Stock. However, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock substantially increases as the stock price declines. If the lowest daily volume weighted average price in the two trading days prior to August 6, 2025 decreased by $1.00, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock would increase by approximately 7.9 million shares of Common Stock. If the lowest daily volume weighted average price in the five trading days prior to August 6, 2025 increased by $1.00, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock would decrease by approximately 3.1 million shares of Common Stock. If the stock price falls to or below the floor, then based on the conversion floor price of $0.10, the maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock would be approximately 1,060 million shares of Common Stock.
Securities Purchase Agreements
As further described below, since May 2024, the Company has issued 5% Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Notes (the “Notes”) convertible into shares of Common Stock (the “Note Shares”) and five-year warrants (the “Warrants”) exercisable for 200% of the shares of Common Stock underlying such Notes at an exercise price equal to 105% of closing sale price of the Common Stock on execution date, subject to further adjustment, or pursuant to a cashless exercise based on a predefined Black Scholes formula (the “Warrant Shares”), as further described below under “Description of the Warrants”.
In the event that the Company has met certain conditions and the stock has increased 250% from the then-conversion price of the Notes for 10 consecutive days, the Company will be entitled to require the holders to exercise the Warrants for cash. The Notes and Warrants are not convertible by a holder to the extent that the holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.9% of the Common Stock (the “9.9% Ownership Limitation”).
As of August 6, 2025, there were outstanding approximately $49.0 million aggregate principal amount and accumulated interest of Notes, convertible into an aggregate of 9,839,097 shares of Common Stock and Warrants exercisable on a cashless basis for 459,616 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms thereof). Based on their respective terms, however, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes and cashless exercise of the Warrants would substantially increase as the stock price declines. The maximum number of shares that are issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants held by the Selling Stockholders, based on price floors set forth in their respective conversion and exercise terms, is approximately 1,219 million and 211.9 million shares of Common Stock, respectively. A description of the change in number of shares that may be issued upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants as a result of changes to the Company’s stock price is set forth below in the summary of each Securities Purchase Agreement.
During the period commencing on the execution date and ending on the date immediately following the 90th day after the latest of: (i) the execution date of such securities purchase agreement, (ii) the date on which a registration statement (or registration statements) registering for resale all registrable securities has been declared effective by the SEC and (iii) the Company has agreed, with certain exceptions, not to directly or indirectly issue, offer, sell, or otherwise dispose of (or make any announcement) any equity security or any equity-linked or related security, any convertible securities, debt (with or related to equity), any preferred stock or any purchase rights. The Company also agreed not to enter into any fundamental, transaction, such as a merger, sale of more than 50% of the outstanding voting shares, sale of substantially all assets, or business combination, unless the successor entity assumes all of the obligations of the Company under the Notes and Warrants and the other transaction documents.

May 2024 Financing
On May 14, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “2024 Securities Purchase Agreement”), with certain investors, pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained therein, the investors agreed to purchase Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $52.6 million (the “2024 Notes”) and Warrants (the “2024 Warrants”). Except as described below, the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the 2024 Notes may be converted by the holder into shares of Common Stock at the lower of (i) 95% of the closing sale price of the Common Stock on May 13, 2024 (subject to adjustment) (referred to as the “fixed price”), (ii) 95% of the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the date that the Initial Registration Statement (defined below) was declared effective, or (iii) 95% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price in the five trading days prior to such conversion date, provided, that the conversion price will not be less than $1.16 per share, which amount is not subject to adjustment (referred to as the “floor price”).
Upon execution of the 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement, the investors initially purchased an aggregate principal amount of $13.2 million of 2024 Notes and received 2024 Warrants. On July 9, 2024, the investors purchased an additional aggregate principal amount of $10.5 million of 2024 Notes and received 2024 Warrants, and on July 15, 2024, the investors purchased an additional aggregate principal amount of $29.0 million of 2024 Notes and received 2024 Warrants. The investors subsequently purchased additional Notes and Warrants pursuant to additional investment rights as further described below. All then-outstanding 2024 Warrants were exchanged for shares of Series G Preferred Stock pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, described above.
As of August 6, 2025, the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest of the 2024 Notes held by the Selling Stockholders was approximately $3.1 million. For illustrative purposes only, the following is a description of the shares issuable pursuant to the respective conversion terms (as described above and below) of the 2024 Notes held by the Selling Stockholders (disregarding the 9.9% Ownership Limitation). If the Company’s stock price remains at or higher than the applicable fixed price of 2024 Notes, then the total number of shares potentially issuable upon conversion would be the applicable fixed price (as adjusted) divided by the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on such Notes. However, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the 2024 Notes substantially increases as the stock price declines below the fixed price. Based on the lowest daily volume weighted average price in the five trading days prior to August 6, 2025, the number of shares potentially issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the 2024 Notes would be 621,212 shares of Common Stock. If the lowest daily volume weighted average price in the five trading days prior to August 6, 2025 decreased by $1.00, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the 2024 Notes would increase by approximately 146,300 shares of Common Stock. If the lowest daily volume weighted average price in the five trading days prior to August 6, 2025 increased by $1.00, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the 2024 Notes would decrease by approximately 99,400 shares of Common Stock. If the stock price falls to or below the floor price, then based on the floor price, the maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the 2024 Notes would be approximately 11.7 million shares of Common Stock.

However, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the January 2025 Notes substantially increases as the stock price declines below the fixed price. Based on the lowest daily volume weighted average price in the five trading days prior to August 6, 2025, the number of shares potentially issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the January 2025 Notes would be 1,014,757 shares of Common Stock.

If the Company’s stock price remains at or higher than the fixed price of the February 2025 Notes, then the total number of shares potentially issuable upon conversion would be the fixed price (as adjusted) divided by the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on such Notes. However, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the February 2025 Notes substantially increases as the stock price declines below the fixed price. Based on the lowest daily volume weighted average price in the five trading days prior to August 6, 2025, the number of shares potentially issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the February 2025 Notes would be 514,352 shares of Common Stock.

For illustrative purposes only, the following is a description of the shares issuable pursuant to the conversion terms of the March 2025 Notes held by the Selling Stockholders (disregarding the 9.9% Ownership Limitation). If the Company’s stock price remains at or higher than the fixed price of the March 2025 Notes, then the total number of shares potentially issuable upon conversion would be the fixed price (as adjusted) divided by the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on such Notes. However, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the March 2025 Notes substantially increases as the stock price declines below the fixed price. Based on the lowest daily volume weighted average price in the five trading days prior to August 6, 2025, the number of shares potentially issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the March 2025 Notes would be 1,204,078 shares of Common Stock. If the lowest daily volume weighted average price in the five trading days prior to June August 6, 2025 decreased by $1.00, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the March 2025 Notes would increase by approximately 283,800 shares of Common Stock. If the lowest daily volume weighted average price in the five trading days prior to August 6, 2025 increased by $1.00, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the March 2025 Notes would decrease by approximately 193,000 shares of Common Stock. If the stock price falls to or below the floor price, then based on the floor price, the maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the March 2025 Notes would be approximately 14.9 million shares of Common Stock.
May 2025 $1.5M Financing
On May 16, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “May 2025 $1.5M Securities Purchase Agreement”), with certain investors, pursuant to which upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained therein, the investors agreed to purchase an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.5 million of Notes (the “May 2025 $1.5M Notes”) and Warrants (the “May 2025 $1.5M Warrants”). The outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the May 2025 $1.5M Notes may be converted by the holder into shares of Common Stock at the lower of (i) 95% of the closing sale price of the Common Stock on May 5, 2025 (subject to adjustment), (ii) 95% of the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the date that the registration statement is declared effective, or (iii) 95% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price in the five trading days prior to such conversion date, provided, that the conversion price will not be less than $0.03 per share, which amount is not subject to adjustment. The May 2025 $1.5M Warrants have an exercise price equal to 105% of the closing sale price of the Common Stock on May 5, 2025 (subject to adjustment) and may also be exercised via a cashless exercise with a floor of $0.01, not subject to adjustment (referred to as the “floor price”).
For a period beginning on May 16, 2025 and ending on the one year anniversary from the later of (i) the date a registration statement covering all registrable securities is declared effective or (ii) the date the Company has obtained stockholder approval (as described below), the investors have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase up to an additional $4.7 million of May 2025 $1.5M Notes and related May 2025 $1.5M Warrants on the same terms and conditions as provided in the May 2025 $1.5M Securities Purchase Agreement. As of August 6, 2025, there was outstanding approximately $6.4 million aggregate principal amount and accumulated interest of May 2025 $1.5M Notes convertible into 1,287,690 shares and zero May 2025 $1.5M Warrants (all then-outstanding May 2025 $1.5M 2025 Warrants were exchanged for Series G Preferred Stock pursuant to the Exchange Agreement) held by the Selling Stockholders.
21
For illustrative purposes only, the following is a description of the shares issuable pursuant to the conversion terms of the May 2025 $1.5M Notes held by the Selling Stockholders (disregarding the 9.9% Ownership Limitation). If the Company’s stock price remains at or higher than the fixed price of the May 2025 $1.5M Notes, then the total number of shares potentially issuable upon conversion would be the fixed price (as adjusted) divided by the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on such Notes. However, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the May 2025 $1.5M Notes substantially increases as the stock price declines below the fixed price. Based on the lowest daily volume weighted average price in the five trading days prior to August 6, 2025, the number of shares potentially issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the May 2025 $1.5M Notes would be 1,287,690 shares of Common Stock. If the lowest daily volume weighted average price in the five trading days prior to June August 6, 2025 decreased by $1.00, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the May 2025 $1.5M Notes would increase by approximately 303,500 shares of Common Stock. If the lowest daily volume weighted average price in the five trading days prior to August 6, 2025 increased by $1.00, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the May 2025 $1.5M Notes would decrease by approximately 154,000 shares of Common Stock. If the stock price falls to or below the floor price, then based on the floor price, the maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the May 2025 $1.5M Notes would be approximately 213.8 million shares of Common Stock.
May 2025 $2.7M Financing
On May 29, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “May 2025 $2.7M Securities Purchase Agreement”), with certain investors, pursuant to which upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained therein, the investors agreed to purchase an aggregate principal amount of approximately $2.7 million of Notes (the “May 2025 $2.7M Notes”) and Warrants (the “May 2025 $2.7M Warrants”). The outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the May 2025 $2.7M Notes may be converted by the holder into shares of Common Stock at the lower of (i) 95% of the closing sale price of the Common Stock on May 28, 2025 (subject to adjustment), (ii) 95% of the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the date that the registration statement is declared effective, or (iii) 95% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price in the five trading days prior to such conversion date, provided, that the conversion price will not be less than $0.03 per share, which amount is not subject to adjustment.
For a period beginning on May 29, 2025 and ending on the one year anniversary from the later of (i) the date a registration statement covering all registrable securities is declared effective or (ii) the date the Company has obtained stockholder approval, the investors have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase up to an additional $8.1 million of May 2025 $2.7M Notes and related May 2025 $2.7M Warrants on the same terms and conditions as provided in the May 2025 $2.7M Securities Purchase Agreement. As of August 6, 2025, there was outstanding approximately $6.9 million aggregate principal amount and accumulated interest of May 2025 $2.7M Notes convertible into 1,392,472 shares and zero May 2025 $2.7M Warrants (all then-outstanding May 2025 $2.7M Warrants were exchanged for Series G Preferred Stock pursuant to the Exchange Agreement) held by the Selling Stockholders.
For illustrative purposes only, the following is a description of the shares issuable pursuant to the conversion terms of the May 2025 $2.7M Notes held by the Selling Stockholders (disregarding the 9.9% Ownership Limitation). If the Company’s stock price remains at or higher than the fixed price of the May 2025 $2.7M Notes, then the total number of shares potentially issuable upon conversion would be the fixed price (as adjusted) divided by the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on such Notes. However, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the May 2025 $2.7M Notes substantially increases as the stock price declines below the fixed price. Based on the lowest daily volume weighted average price in the five trading days prior to August 6, 2025, the number of shares potentially issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the May 2025 $2.7M Notes would be 1,392,472 shares of Common Stock. If the lowest daily volume weighted average price in the five trading days prior to June August 6, 2025 decreased by $1.00, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the May 2025 $2.7M Notes would increase by approximately 328,200 shares of Common Stock. If the lowest daily volume weighted average price in the five trading days prior to August 6, 2025 increased by $1.00, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the May 2025 $2.7M Notes would decrease by approximately 223,000 shares of Common Stock. If the stock price falls to or below the floor price, then based on the floor price, the maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the May 2025 $2.7M Notes would be approximately 178.2 million shares of Common Stock.
22
May 2025 $11M Financing
On May 29, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “May 2025 $11M Securities Purchase Agreement”), with certain investors, pursuant to which upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained therein, the investors agreed to purchase an aggregate principal amount of approximately $11.5 million of Notes (the “May 2025 $11M Notes”) and Warrants (the “May 2025 $11M Warrants”). The outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the May 2025 $11M Notes may be converted by the holder into shares of Common Stock at the lower of (i) 95% of the closing sale price of the Common Stock on May 28, 2025 (subject to adjustment), (ii) 95% of the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the date that the registration statement is declared effective, or (iii) 95% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price in the five trading days prior to such conversion date, provided, that the conversion price will not be less than $0.03 per share, which amount is not subject to adjustment.
For a period beginning on May 29, 2025 and ending on the one year anniversary from the later of (i) the date a registration statement covering all registrable securities is declared effective or (ii) the date the Company has obtained stockholder approval, the investors have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase up to an additional $11.5 million of May 2025 $11M Notes and related May 2025 $11M Warrants on the same terms and conditions as provided in the May 2025 $11M Securities Purchase Agreement. As of August 6, 2025, there was outstanding approximately $18.9 million aggregate principal amount and accumulated interest of May 2025 $11M Notes convertible into 3,804,536 shares and May 2025 $11M Warrants exercisable on a cashless basis for 459,616 shares of Common Stock held by the Selling Stockholders.
For illustrative purposes only, the following is a description of the shares issuable pursuant to the conversion terms of the May 2025 $11M Notes held by the Selling Stockholders (disregarding the 9.9% Ownership Limitation). If the Company’s stock price remains at or higher than the fixed price of the May 2025 $11M Notes, then the total number of shares potentially issuable upon conversion would be the fixed price (as adjusted) divided by the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on such Notes. However, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the May 2025 $11M Notes substantially increases as the stock price declines below the fixed price. Based on the lowest daily volume weighted average price in the five trading days prior to August 6, 2025, the number of shares potentially issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the May 2025 $11M Notes would be 3,804,536 shares of Common Stock. If the lowest daily volume weighted average price in the five trading days prior to June August 6, 2025 decreased by $1.00, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the May 2025 $11M Notes would increase by approximately 896,700 shares of Common Stock. If the lowest daily volume weighted average price in the five trading days prior to August 6, 2025 increased by $1.00, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the May 2025 $11M Notes would decrease by approximately 609,400 shares of Common Stock. If the stock price falls to or below the floor price, then based on the floor price, the maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the May 2025 $11M Notes would be approximately 631.7 million shares of Common Stock.
As of August 6, 2025, the shares issuable upon cashless exercise of the May 2025 $11M Warrants held by the Selling Stockholders is 459,616 shares of Common Stock. If the lowest closing bid price in the two days prior to August 6, 2025 increased by $1.00, the shares issuable upon cashless exercise of the May 2025 $11M Warrants would decrease by approximately 82,000 shares. If the lowest closing bid price in the two days prior to August 6, 2025 decreased by $0.01 the shares issuable upon cashless exercise of the May 2025 $11M Warrants would increase by approximately 127,300 shares. Based on the floor price in the cashless exercise provisions of the May 2025 $11M Warrants, the maximum number of shares that are issuable upon cashless exercise of the Warrants is approximately 211.9 million shares. For a description of the cashless exercise provision, see “Description of the Warrants” below.
Description of the Notes
The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 15% per annum, have an original issue discount of 5% and mature four months from the date of issuance. As security for payment of the amounts due and payable under the Notes, the Company granted a continuing security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, its assets, whether owned, existing, acquired or arising and wherever located.

● | failure to file annual or quarterly reports within the required periods. |
Description of the Warrants
In connection with the issuance of the Notes, holders also receive 5-year warrants exercisable for 200% of the shares of Common Stock underlying such Notes at an exercise price equal to 105% of closing sale price of the Common Stock on execution date, subject to further adjustment.
The Warrants also provide for cashless exercise pursuant to which the holder will receive upon exercise a “net number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula:
Net Number = (A x B) / C
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
A = The total number of shares with respect to which the Warrant is then being exercised.
B = The Black Scholes Value (as described below).
C = The lower of the two Closing Bid Prices of the Common Stock in the two days prior the time of such exercise (as such Closing Bid Price is defined therein), but in any event not less than $0.01 (which amount is not subject to adjustment).
For purposes of the cashless exercise, “Black Scholes Value” means the Black Scholes value of an option for one share of Common Stock at the date of the applicable cashless exercise, as such Black Scholes value is determined, calculated using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg utilizing (i) an underlying price per share equal to the Exercise Price, as adjusted, (ii) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate, (iii) a strike price equal to the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the applicable Cashless Exercise, (iv) an expected volatility equal to 135%, and (v) a deemed remaining term of the Warrant of five years (regardless of the actual remaining term of the Warrant).
For illustrative purposes only, below is a description of the warrant cashless exercise provision described above using the listed factors and assumptions (and disregarding the 9.9% Ownership Limitation):
64.711 x 47,569.02 / $1.12 = 2,748,428
● | Exercise date as of June 24, 2025. | |
● | The total number of warrant shares being exercised is 64.711. |
25
● | The warrant exercise price is $54,000 per share (as adjusted as a result of reverse stock splits). | |
● | The expected life of the warrant is five years (as provided in BSV). | |
● | The interest rate corresponding to the U.S Treasury rate is 3.86% (as provided in BSV). | |
● | Annualized volatility is 135% (as provided in BSV). | |
● | That there are no expected dividends. |
Generally, the number of shares issuable upon cashless exercise of Warrants primarily depends on the closing bid price of the stock in the last two days prior to exercise. The number of shares issuable upon cashless exercise of the Warrants would substantially increase as the stock price declines. For a further description of the number of shares that may be issued upon cashless exercise of the Warrants issued in each financing, see “Private Placements of Notes and Warrants” above.
The Company will have the option to require the holders to exercise the Warrants for cash, if, at any time, the following conditions are met: (i) the registration statement covering the securities has been declared effective is effective and available for the resale of the securities and no stop-order has been issued nor has the SEC suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of the registration statement; (ii) the Company is not in violation of any of the rules, regulations or requirements of, and has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that could reasonably lead to suspension in the foreseeable future on, the principal market; and (iii) the VWAP for each trading day during the 10 trading day period immediately preceding the date on which the Company elects to exercise this option is 250% above the exercise price.
Additional Terms of the Notes, Warrants and Preferred Stock
The Company must reserve out of authorized and unissued shares a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 250% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon conversion of the Notes and Preferred Stock and upon exercise of the Warrants. If the Company fails to timely deliver shares upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of Warrants, the Company will be required to either (A) pay the holder in cash for each trading day on which shares are not delivered 5% of the product of the number of shares not so issued multiplied by the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the required delivery date, or (B) if the holder purchases shares of Common Stock in anticipation of delivery of shares upon conversion of the Note or exercise of the Warrant, as applicable,, cash in an amount equal to holder’s total purchase price of such shares. If, upon conversion of Preferred Stock, the Company fails to timely issue the shares of Common Stock, then, at the sole discretion of the holder, the Company will pay in cash to such holder on each trading day after the delivery date an amount equal to 1% of the product of the number of shares of Common Stock not so delivered multiplied by the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such delivery date.
The conversion or exercise price and number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants, as applicable, will further be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events and holders will be allowed to participate in certain issuances and distributions (subject to certain limitations and restrictions), including certain stock dividends and splits, dilutive issuances of additional Common Stock, and dilutive issuances of, or changes in option price or rate of conversion of, options or convertible securities, as well as the issuance of purchase rights or distributions of assets. To the extent that a holder would otherwise be entitled to acquire a fraction of a Warrant Share or other security, such right may be exercised in respect of such fraction only in combination with other rights which in the aggregate entitle the holder to acquire a whole number of Warrant Shares or other securities. The conversion price and shares issuable upon conversion of Preferred Strock are subject to adjustment, pursuant to the applicable Certificate of Designations, in the event of stock dividends and stock splits, and subsequent equity sales. Holders of Preferred Stock may receive and participate in purchase rights and distribution of assets. The Company may not enter into any fundamental transaction unless the successor entity issues in exchange securities with similar rights as the Preferred Stock.
If, during restricted period, the Company effects a subsequent financing, including the issuance of options and convertible securities, any Common Stock, issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for a consideration per share less than a price equal to the current conversion price of the Notes and Series F Preferred Stock or exercise price of the Warrants (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such issuance, the conversion price or exercise price, as applicable, will be reduced (and in no event increased) to the price per share as determined in accordance with the following formula:
CP2 = CP1 x (A + B) / (A + C)
26
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
A = The total number of Shares with respect to which the Note or Series F Preferred Stock may be converted of the Warrant may be exercised.
B = The total number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued or issuable under the Dilutive Issuance if issued at a per share equal to CP1.
C = The total number of shares of Common Stock actually issued or issuable under the Dilutive Issuance.
CP1 = The applicable Conversion Price or Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to a Dilutive Issuance.
CP2 = The applicable Conversion Price or Exercise Price immediately after such Dilutive Issuance; provided, however, that such price shall in no event be less than, with respect to the Notes, at prices ranging from $0.05 to $0.40 (in some cases, as may be adjusted), $0.01 with respect to the Series F Preferred Stock (not subject to adjustment), and, with respect to the Warrants, $0.01 (not subject to adjustment).
“Restricted period” means the period commencing on the purchase date and ending on the earlier of (i) the date immediately following the 90th day after a registration statement registering for the securities has been declared effective by the SEC and (ii) the 90th day after the securities purchased are saleable under Rule 144 without the requirement for current public information and without volume or manner of sale limitations.
The Notes, Warrants and Preferred Stock provide for certain purchase rights whereby if the Company grants, issues or sells any options, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock, then the holder will be entitled to acquire such purchase rights which the holder could have acquired if the holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon conversion or exercise.
Registration Rights Agreements
In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreements, the Company also entered into Registration Rights Agreements (the “Registration Rights Agreements”) with the investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to prepare and file one or more registration statements with the SEC covering the resale of the Note Shares and the shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock within certain time periods. The Company also agreed to provide certain piggyback registration rights to the investors. In addition, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreements, the Company is required to use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective from the date on which the SEC declares the Registration Statement to be effective until such date that all Registrable Securities (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covered by the Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act, under Rule 144 as promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), or otherwise shall have ceased to be “Registrable Securities” (as defined therein). The Company may not file another registration statement that does not relate to the Registrable Securities until the 30th day anniversary of the first date on which the resale by the investors is covered by one or more registration statement.
In the event that (i) the Company fails to file a registration statement by the filing deadline, (ii) a registration statement is not declared effective on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline, (iii) sales cannot be made pursuant to the registration statement or the prospectus contained therein is not properly available for any reason for more than five (5) consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of 10 calendar days during any 12-month period, (iv) a registration statement is not effective for any reason or the prospectus contained therein is not properly available for use for any reason, and the Company fails to file with the SEC any required reports under the Exchange Act, then the Company has agreed (unless the Registrable Securities are freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144) to make payments to each investor as liquidated damages in an amount equal to 1.5% of such investor’s total committed purchase price for the Registrable Securities affected by such failure and an additional 1.5% on every 30 day anniversary, with a maximum of 12 payments (except with respect to clause (iv). Such payments will bear interest at the rate of 10% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full and may be paid in shares of Common Stock at the option of the Company.
The Company and the investors have granted each other customary indemnification rights in connection with the Registration Rights Agreements.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The shares of Common Stock being offered by the Selling Stockholders are those held by the Selling Stockholders or issuable to the Selling Stockholders, upon the conversion of Notes and Preferred Stock and exercise of Warrants. For additional information regarding the issuances of those shares of Common Stock pursuant to the conversion of the Notes and Preferred Stock, see section “Notes, Warrants and Preferred Stock Transactions” above. We are registering the Common Stock in order to permit the Selling Stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the purchase and ownership of our securities and as described below, the Selling Stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.
The table below lists the Selling Stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock by each of the Selling Stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each Selling Stockholder as of August 6, 2025, assuming conversion of the Notes and Preferred Stock and cash basis exercise of the Warrants on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises, and excluding any shares of Common Stock underlying additional Notes and Warrants that may be issued pursuant to the Additional Investment Rights pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The second column does not give effect to the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement. The third column lists the maximum number of shares of Common Stock being offered by this prospectus by each of the Selling Stockholders. The additional shares of our Common Stock listed in the third column include shares that may be issuable under the anti-dilution, exercise and conversion provisions contained in the terms of the Notes, Warrants and Preferred Stock.
Under the terms of the Notes, Warrants and the Preferred Stock, a Selling Stockholder may not convert the Notes or Preferred Stock or exercise the Warrants into Common Stock to the extent such exercise would cause such Selling Stockholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock which would exceed 9.9% of our then outstanding Common Stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of the preferred stock which have not been converted or exercise of the Notes and Warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the second column does not reflect this limitation. The Selling Stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares of Common Stock registered pursuant hereto. See “Plan of Distribution.”

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
General
We are authorized to issue up to 5,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share. Pursuant to an amendment to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) filed on July 26, 2022 increasing our authorized Preferred Stock, the Company originally had 500,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “preferred stock”), authorized, of which 200,000 shares were designated as “Series A Preferred Stock,” 12,000,000 shares were designated as “Series B Preferred Stock,” 40,000,000 shares were designated as “Series C Preferred Stock,” 437,500,001 shares were designated as “Series D Preferred Stock,” 76,950 shares were designated as “Series E Preferred Stock.” 25,600 shares were designated as “Series F Preferred Stock” and 110,000 shares were designated as “Series G Preferred Stock” Unless otherwise specific in the applicable Certificate of Designation, pursuant to the terms of our Certificate of Incorporation, upon conversion of shares of preferred stock, such shares so converted are cancelled and not issuable.
The additional shares of our authorized stock available for issuance may be issued at times and under circumstances so as to have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and on the equity ownership of the holders of our Common Stock. The ability of our board of directors to issue additional shares of stock could enhance the board’s ability to negotiate on behalf of the stockholders in a takeover situation but could also be used by the board to make a change-in- control more difficult, thereby denying stockholders the potential to sell their shares at a premium and entrenching current management. The following description is a summary of the material provisions of our capital stock.
Common Stock
Holders of our Common Stock are each entitled to cast one vote for each share held of record on all matters presented to stockholders, and shall be entitled to notice of any shareholders’ meeting, in accordance with the bylaws. Cumulative voting is not allowed; the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of capital stock may elect all directors. Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by our board out of funds legally available and, in the event of liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of our assets after payment of liabilities. Our directors are not obligated to declare a dividend. It is not anticipated that we will pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Holders of our do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to any additional shares we may issue in the future. There are no conversion, redemption, sinking fund or similar provisions regarding the Common Stock. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid and nonassessable.
The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of Common Stock are subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock.
Preferred Stock
Our board of directors is authorized to provide, out of the unissued shares of preferred stock, for one or more series of preferred stock and, with respect to each such series, to fix the number of shares constituting such series and the designation of such series, the voting powers of the shares of such series, and the preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the shares of such series. The powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each series of preferred stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding.
The issuance of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to the holders of Common Stock or adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of Common Stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company, which could depress the market price of our Common Stock.
30
Voting Rights
Except as otherwise expressly provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, the Certificate of Designations or as provided by law, the holders of shares of Common Stock and preferred stock shall at all times vote together as a single class on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted to a vote of the stockholders; provided, however, that, any proposal which adversely affects the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A, B, C, D or E Preferred Stock must be approved by a majority in interest of the affected Series of preferred stock, as the case may be. Each holder of Common Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock will have the right to one vote per share (on a fully converted basis) held of record by such holder, each holder of Series D Preferred Stock will have the right to one vote per share held of record by such holder, and each holder of Series A Preferred Stock will have the right to one vote per share (on a fully converted basis) held of record by such holder.

Rights Agreement; Series A-1 Junior Participating Preferred Stock
On May 1, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend distribution of one right (a “Right”), for each outstanding share of Common Stock and Preferred Stock. The dividend was payable to holders of record as of the close of business on May 13, 2024. In connection with the distribution of the Rights, the Company entered into a Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”), dated as of May 1, 2024, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as rights agent. The Rights Agreement was amended on February 5, 2025 and April 29, 2025.
Issuance of Rights
Each holder of Common Stock and Preferred Stock (i.e., Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock) as of the Record Date received a dividend of one Right per share of Common Stock and Preferred Stock, as applicable. One Right will also be issued together with each share of Common Stock and each share of a series of Preferred Stock the terms of which provide for the holders thereof to be issued Rights issued by the Company after the Record Date and prior to the Distribution Date (as defined in below), and in certain circumstances, after the Distribution Date. New certificates for Common Stock and Preferred Stock issued after the Record Date will contain a notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference.
Until the Distribution Date:
● | the Rights will not be exercisable; |
● | the Rights will be evidenced by the certificates for Common Stock or Preferred Stock, as applicable (or, in the case of book entry shares, by notation in book entry) and not by separate rights certificates; and |
● | the Rights will be transferable by, and only in connection with, the transfer of Common Stock or Preferred Stock. |
Distribution Date; Beneficial Ownership
The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date. As of and after the Distribution Date, the Rights will separate from the Common Stock and Preferred Stock and each Right will become exercisable to purchase one ten-thousandth of a share of Series A-1 Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (each whole share, a share of “A-1 Preferred Stock”) at a purchase price of $30.00 (such purchase price, as may be adjusted, the “Purchase Price”). This portion of a share of A-1 Preferred Stock would give the holder thereof approximately the same dividend, voting, and liquidation rights as would one share of Common Stock. Prior to exercise, the Right does not give its holder any dividend, voting or liquidation rights.
The “Distribution Date” is the earlier of:
● | ten days following a public announcement that a person has become an “Acquiring Person” by acquiring beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the Common Stock then outstanding (or, in the case of a person that had beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the outstanding Common Stock on the date the Rights Agreement was executed, by obtaining beneficial ownership of additional shares of Common Stock) other than as a result of repurchases of Common Stock by the Company or certain inadvertent acquisitions; and |
● | ten business days (or such later date as the Board shall determine prior to the time a person becomes an Acquiring Person) after the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer by or on behalf of any person (other than the Company and certain related entities) that, if completed, would result in such person becoming an Acquiring Person. |
35
A person will be deemed to “beneficially own” any Common Stock if such person or any affiliated or associated person of such person:
● | is considered a “beneficial owner” of the Common Stock under Rule 13d-3 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and as in effect on the date of the Rights Agreement; |
● | has the right to acquire the Common Stock, either immediately or in the future, pursuant to any agreement, arrangement, or understanding (other than a customary underwriting agreement relating to a bona fide public offering of the Common Stock) or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, rights, warrants or options, or otherwise, except that a person will not be deemed to be a beneficial owner of (a) securities tendered pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer by or on behalf of such person or any affiliated or associated persons of such person until the tendered securities are accepted for purchase or exchange, (b) securities issuable upon exercise of a Right before the occurrence of a Triggering Event (as defined below), or (c) securities issuable upon exercise of a Right after the occurrence of a Triggering Event if the Rights are originally issued Rights or were issued in connection with an adjustment to originally issued Rights; |
● | has the right to vote or dispose of the Common Stock pursuant to any agreement, arrangement, or understanding (other than a right to vote arising from the granting of a revocable proxy or consent that is not also then reportable on a Schedule 13D); or |
● | has an agreement, arrangement, or understanding with another person who beneficially owns Common Stock and the agreement, arrangement, or understanding is for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting, or disposing of any securities of the Company (other than customary underwriting agreements relating to a bona fide public offering of Common Stock or a right to vote arising from the granting of a revocable proxy or consent that is not also then reportable on a Schedule 13D). |
Certain synthetic interests in securities created by derivative positions-whether or not such interests are considered to be ownership of the underlying Common Stock or are reportable on a Schedule 13D-are treated as beneficial ownership of the number of shares of Common Stock equivalent to the economic exposure created by the derivative position, to the extent actual shares of Common Stock are directly or indirectly held by counterparties to the derivatives contracts. Swaps dealers unassociated with any control intent or intent to evade the purposes of the rights plan are excepted from such imputed beneficial ownership.
Exempt Persons and Transactions
The Board of Directors may, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine that a Person is exempt from the Rights Agreement (an “Exempt Person”), so long as such determination is made prior to such time as such Person becomes an Acquiring Person. Any Person will cease to be an Exempt Person if the Board of Directors makes a contrary determination with respect to such Person regardless of the reason therefor. In addition, the Board of Directors may, in its sole and absolute discretion, exempt any transaction from triggering the Rights Agreement, so long as the determination in respect of such exemption is made prior to such time as any Person becomes an Acquiring Person.
Issuance of Rights Certificates
As soon as practicable after the Distribution Date, the Rights Agent will mail rights certificates to holders of record of Common Stock and Preferred Stock as of the close of business on the Distribution Date and, thereafter, the separate rights certificates alone will evidence the Rights.
Expiration of Rights
The Rights will expire on the earliest of (a) 5:00 p.m., New York time, on May 1, 2026, (b) the time at which the Rights are redeemed (as described below), and (c) the time at which the Rights are exchanged in full (as described below) (the earliest of (a), (b) and (c) being herein referred to as the “Expiration Date”).
36
Change of Exercise of Rights Following Certain Events
The following described events are referred to as “Triggering Events.”
(a) | Flip-In Event. In the event that a person becomes an Acquiring Person, each holder of a Right will thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise, Common Stock (or, in certain circumstances, other securities, cash, or other assets of the Company) having a value equal to two times the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, following the occurrence of a person becoming an Acquiring Person, all Rights that are, or (under certain circumstances specified in the Rights Agreement) were, beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person (or by certain related parties) will be null and void. |
(b) | Flip-Over Events. In the event that, at any time after a person has become an Acquiring Person, (i) the Company engages in a merger or other business combination transaction in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or other entity, (ii) the Company engages in a merger or other business combination transaction in which the Company is the continuing or surviving corporation and the Common Stock of the Company are changed or exchanged, or (iii) 50% or more of the Company’s assets or earning power is sold or transferred, each holder of a Right (except Rights that have previously been voided as set forth above) shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise, common shares of the acquiring company having a value equal to two times the Purchase Price. |
Redemption
At any time prior to the earlier of (a) a person becoming an Acquiring Person and (b) the Expiration Date (as defined in the Rights Agreement), the Board may direct the Company to redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.001 per Right (payable in cash, Common Stock, or other consideration deemed appropriate by the Board). Immediately upon the action of the Board directing the Company to redeem the Rights, the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the $0.001 redemption price.
Exchange of Rights
At any time after a person becomes an Acquiring Person but before any person acquires beneficial ownership of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, the Board may direct the Company to exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by such person or certain related parties, which will have become null and void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one share of Common Stock per Right (subject to adjustment). The Company may substitute shares of A-1 Preferred Stock (or shares of a class or series of the Company’s preferred stock having equivalent rights, preferences, and privileges) for Common Stock at an initial rate of one one-thousandth of a share of A-1 Preferred Stock (or of a share of a class or series of the Company’s preferred stock having equivalent rights, preferences, and privileges) per share of Common Stock. Immediately upon the action of the Board directing the Company to exchange the Rights, the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the number of shares of Common Stock (or one ten-thousandth of a share of A-1 Preferred Stock or of a share of a class or series of the Company’s preferred stock having equivalent rights, preferences, and privileges) equal to the number of Rights held by such holder multiplied by the exchange ratio.
Adjustments to Prevent Dilution; Fractional Shares
The Board may adjust the Purchase Price, the number of shares of A-1 Preferred Stock or other securities or assets issuable upon exercise of a Right, and the number of Rights outstanding to prevent dilution that may occur (a) in the event of a stock dividend on, or a subdivision, combination, or reclassification of, the A-1 Preferred Stock, (b) in the event of a stock dividend on, or a subdivision or combination of, the Common Stock, (c) if holders of the A-1 Preferred Stock are granted certain rights, options, or warrants to subscribe for A-1 Preferred Stock or convertible securities at less than the current market price of the A-1 Preferred Stock, or (d) upon the distribution to holders of the A-1 Preferred Stock of evidences of indebtedness or assets (excluding regular periodic cash dividends) or of subscription rights or warrants (other than those referred to above).
With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the Purchase Price will be required until cumulative adjustments amount to at least 1% of the Purchase Price. No fractional shares of A-1 Preferred Stock will be issued (other than fractions that are integral multiples of one one-thousandth of a share of A-1 Preferred Stock), and in lieu thereof, an adjustment in cash may be made based on the market price of the A-1 Preferred Stock on the last trading date prior to the date of exercise.
37
No Stockholder Rights Prior to Exercise; Tax Considerations
Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends. While the distribution of the Rights will not be taxable to stockholders or to the Company, stockholders may, depending upon the circumstances, recognize taxable income in the event that the Rights become exercisable for Common Stock (or other consideration) of the Company or for common shares of the acquiring company or in the event of the redemption of the Rights as set forth above.
Amendment of Rights Agreement
The Company, by action of the Board, may supplement or amend any provision of the Rights Agreement in any respect without the approval of any registered holder of Rights, including, without limitation, in order to (a) cure any ambiguity, (b) correct or supplement any provision contained in the Rights Agreement that may be defective or inconsistent with other provisions of the Rights Agreement, (c) shorten or lengthen any time period under the Rights Agreement, or (d) otherwise change, amend, or supplement any provisions of the Rights Agreement in any manner that the Company deems necessary or desirable; provided, however, that no supplement or amendment made after a person becomes an Acquiring Person shall adversely affect the interests of the registered holders of rights certificates (other than an Acquiring Person or any affiliated or associated person of an Acquiring Person or certain of their transferees) or shall cause the Rights Agreement to become amendable other than in accordance with the amendment provision contained therein. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company may at any time before any person becomes an Acquiring Person amend the Rights Agreements to make provisions of the Rights Agreement inapplicable to a particular transaction by which a person might otherwise become an Acquiring Person or to otherwise alter the terms and conditions of the Rights Agreement as they may apply with respect to any such transaction.
Series F Preferred Stock
On July 29, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations designating 25,600 shares of Series F Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Certificate of Designations”) setting forth the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock as described below.
Serial Designations and Number of Shares. The Series F Preferred Stock consists of the following serial designations, which are identical in all respects to every other share of Series F Preferred Stock, except as set forth in the Series F Certificate of Designations: 560 shares of F-1 Preferred Stock; 1,700 shares of F-2 Preferred Stock; 4,200 shares of F-3 Preferred Stock; 1,700 shares of F-4 Preferred Stock; 6,900 shares of F-5 Preferred Stock; 2,325 shares of F-6 Preferred Stock; 2,150 shares of F-7 Preferred Stock; 1,715 shares of F-8 Preferred Stock; and 4,350 shares of F-9 Preferred Stock.
Ranking. The Series F Preferred Stock, with respect to the payment of dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, ranks senior to all capital stock of the Company, unless at least a majority of the outstanding Series F Preferred Shares consent to the creation of other capital stock of the Company that is senior or equal in rank to the Series F Preferred Stock.
Conversion and Exchange. Each share of Series F Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of a holder at any time into shares of Common Stock by dividing the conversion amount by the lower of (a) the applicable Conversion Fixed Price for the relevant series (“Conversion Fixed Price” means (1) for the F-1 Preferred Shares, $775, (2) for the F-2 Preferred Shares, $1,150, (3) for the F-3 Preferred Shares, $156,060, (4) for the F-4 Preferred Shares, $3,401, (5) for the F-5 Preferred Shares, $248,000, (6) for the F-6 Preferred Shares, $642,000, (7) for the F-7 Preferred Shares, $18,500, (8) for the F-8 Preferred Shares, $51,400, and (9) for the F-9 Preferred Shares, $346,800,000), (b) 95% of the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the date the initial registration statement for such series is declared effective by the SEC, or (c) 95% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price (VWAP) in the five trading days prior to the conversion date, but in no event less than the applicable Conversion Floor Price (“Conversion Floor Price” means (1) for the F-1 Preferred Shares, $0.02, (2) for the F-2 Preferred Shares, $0.03, (3) for the F-3 Preferred Shares, $0.05, (4) for the F-4 Preferred Shares, $0.07, (5) for the F-5 Preferred Shares, $0.08, (6) for the F-6 Preferred Shares, $0.21, (7) for the F-7 Preferred Shares, $0.37, (8) for the F-8 Preferred Shares, $1.03, and (9) for the F-9 Preferred Shares, $1.16, which amounts are not subject to adjustment for stock dividends, subdivisions, or combinations). The conversion price and shares are subject to adjustment, pursuant to Section 6 of the Certificate of Designations, in the event of stock dividends and stock splits, and subsequent equity sales.
38
If, upon conversion of shares of Series F Preferred Stock, the Company fails to timely issue the shares of Common Stock, then, at the sole discretion of the holder, the Company will pay in cash to such holder on each trading day after the delivery date an amount equal to 1% of the product of the number of shares of Common Stock not so delivered multiplied by the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such delivery date.
If any shares of Series F Preferred Stock are converted, redeemed or reacquired by the Company, such shares may not be reissued and will automatically be retired and cancelled and resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock. The Series F Preferred Stock will not be convertible by a holder to the extent that such holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.9% of the Common Stock, as further described in the Series F Preferred Certificate of Designations.
Voting Rights. Except as provided by law, the holders of Series F Preferred Stock have no voting rights except that approval from a majority of the outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock, voting as a single class, is required to (i) alter or change the powers, preferences, or rights of the Series F Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely, (ii) amend the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws in a manner adverse to the Holders of Series F Preferred Stock, (iii) increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the authorized number of Series F Preferred Stock, (iv) create or authorize any new class or series of stock senior to or on parity with the Series F Preferred Stock, (v) pay dividends or make distributions on any junior stock, (vi) issue additional Series F Preferred Stock (except as contemplated), or (vii) circumvent the rights of the Series F Preferred Stock.
Dividends. Holders of Series F Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 20% of the $1,000 stated value per share of Series F Preferred Stock, accruing daily, whether or not declared and whether or not there are funds legally available for payment. Dividends are payable in cash quarterly in arrears on the first trading day of each fiscal quarter beginning on October 1, 2025. At the option of each holder, dividends may be paid at any time in shares of Common Stock pursuant to the conversion terms described above.
Company Optional Redemption. At any time, the Company has the right to redeem in cash all, but not less than all, the shares of Series F Preferred Stock then outstanding equal to the sum of (1) the stated value plus (2) the all accrued dividends.
Covenants. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to certain customary affirmative and negative covenants regarding the rank of the Series F Preferred Stock, the incurrence of indebtedness, the existence of liens, the repayment of indebtedness when a Triggering Event has occurred, the payment of cash in respect of dividends, distributions or redemptions, and the transfer of assets, among other customary matters. A “Triggering Event” includes, but is not limited to: (i) failure to maintain sufficient reserves of authorized Common Stock; (ii) the Company’s failure to deliver shares of Common Stock upon conversion, or notice of the Company’s intention not to comply with a request for conversion of any Series F Preferred Stock; (iii) failure to declare or pay any dividend when due; (iv) the occurrence of any default under, redemption of or acceleration prior to maturity in an aggregate amount in excess of $300,000 of indebtedness (as described in the Series F Certificate of Designations) of the Company or any subsidiary; (v) failure to maintain the listing of its Common Stock on a stock exchange; (vi) failure to file annual or quarterly reports within the required periods; (vii) bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company; and (viii) breach of any representation or warranty when made, or any covenant or other term or condition of any Transaction Document. Furthermore, any amounts due under the Transaction Documents which is not paid when due will result in a late charge in an amount equal to interest on such amount at the rate of 15% per month until paid in full.
Purchase Rights, Distribution of Assets and Fundamental Transactions. Holders of Series F Preferred Stock may receive and participate in purchase rights and distribution of assets. The Company may not enter into any fundamental transaction unless the successor entity issues in exchange securities with similar rights.
Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up. In the event of any Liquidation Event (as defined in the Series F Certificate of Designation), the holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive prior and in preference to any distribution of the proceeds to the holders of the Common Stock, an amount per share equal to the Conversion Fixed Price plus declared but unpaid dividends on such shares.
Series G Preferred Stock
On July 29, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations designating 110,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock (the “Series G Preferred Certificate of Designations”) setting forth the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock as described below.
39
Ranking. The Series G Preferred Stock, with respect to the payment of dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, ranks senior to all capital stock of the Company, unless at least a majority of the outstanding Series G Preferred Shares consent to the creation of other capital stock of the Company that is senior or equal in rank to the Series G Preferred Stock.
Conversion and Exchange. Each share of Series G Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of a holder at any time prior to the applicable conversion maturity date (which is generally based on the term of the applicable Exchange Warrant and as set forth in the Holder Schedule attached to the Exchange Agreement) into shares of Common Stock, determined by dividing the stated value of $1,000 per share of Series G Preferred Stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassifications, combinations, subdivisions or other similar events with respect to the Series G Preferred Stock) by the lower of the two closing bid prices of the Common Stock in the two days prior to the date of such conversion, but in any event not less than $0.10 per share. If, upon conversion of shares of Series G Preferred Stock, the Company fails to timely issue the shares of Common Stock, then, at the sole discretion of the holder, the Company will pay in cash to such holder on each trading day after the delivery date an amount equal to 1% of the product of the number of shares of Common Stock not so delivered multiplied by the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such delivery date.
If any shares of Series G Preferred Stock are converted, redeemed or reacquired by the Company, such shares may not be reissued and will automatically be retired and cancelled and resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock. The Series G Preferred Stock will not be convertible by a holder to the extent that such holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.9% of the Common Stock, as further described in the Series G Preferred Certificate of Designations.
Voting Rights. Except as provided by law, the holders of Series G Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights except that approval from a majority of the outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock, voting as a single class, is required to (i) alter or change the powers, preferences, or rights of the Series G Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely, (ii) amend the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws in a manner adverse to the Holders of Series G Preferred Stock, (iii) increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the authorized number of Series G Preferred Stock, (iv) create or authorize any new class or series of stock senior to or on parity with the Series G Preferred Stock, (v) pay dividends or make distributions on any junior stock, (vi) issue additional Series G Preferred Stock (except as contemplated), or (vii) circumvent the rights of the Series G Preferred Stock.
Purchase Rights, Distribution of Assets and Fundamental Transactions. Holders of Series G Preferred Stock may receive and participate in purchase rights and distribution of assets. The Company may not enter into any fundamental transaction unless the successor entity issues in exchange securities with similar rights.
Company Optional Redemption. At any time after the applicable conversion maturity date, the Company has the right to redeem in cash all, but not less than all, of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock then outstanding equal to $0.001 per share.
Dividends and Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up. Holders of Series G Preferred Stock are not entitled to receive any dividends and do not have any right to receive any distribution of assets upon a Liquidation Event (as defined within the Series G Preferred Certificate of Designations).
Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws, as amended contain provisions that could have the effect of discouraging potential acquisition proposals or tender offers or delaying or preventing a change of control. These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and are designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection against an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging such proposals. Among other things, negotiation of such proposals could result in an improvement of their terms. These provisions are as follows:
● | Stockholder Meetings. Under our bylaws, only the Board of Directors, the chairman of the Board, the chief executive officer, or the president (in the absence of a chief executive officer) may call special meetings of stockholders. |
40
● | No Cumulative Voting. Our Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. |
● | Amendment of Provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation. The Certificate of Incorporation will generally require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding voting stock in order to amend any provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation concerning, among other things: |
○ | the required vote to amend certain provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation; and |
○ | the reservation of the Board of Director’s right to amend the amended and restated bylaws. |
● | Amendment of the bylaws. An amendment of the bylaws by stockholders requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding voting stock. |
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, an anti-takeover law. Subject to certain exceptions, the statute prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder unless:
● | prior to such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; |
● | upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least eighty-five percent 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding those shares owned (1) by persons who are directors and also officers and (2) by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or |
● | on or after such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent 66 2⁄3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
Generally, for purposes of Section 203, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or, within three (3) years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, owned fifteen percent (15%) or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting securities.
Potential Effects of Authorized but Unissued Stock
We have shares of Common Stock and preferred stock available for future issuance without stockholder approval. We may utilize these additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, to facilitate corporate acquisitions or payment as a dividend on the capital stock.
The existence of unissued and unreserved Common Stock and preferred stock may enable our board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management or to issue preferred stock with terms that could render more difficult or discourage a third-party attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, thereby protecting the continuity of our management. In addition, the board of directors has the discretion to determine designations, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences of each series of preferred stock, all to the fullest extent permissible under the DGCL and subject to any limitations set forth in our Certificate of Incorporation. The purpose of authorizing the board of directors to issue preferred stock and to determine the rights and preferences applicable to such preferred stock is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible financings, acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third-party to acquire, or could discourage a third-party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.
41
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the shares of Common Stock to permit the resale of these shares of Common Stock by the holders thereof from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the Selling Stockholders of the shares of Common Stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of Common Stock.
The Selling Stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of Common Stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the Selling Stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of Common Stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions:
● | on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale; |
● | in the over-the-counter market; |
● | in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market; |
● | through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise; |
● | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
● | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
● | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
● | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
● | privately negotiated transactions; |
● | short sales; |
● | sales pursuant to Rule 144; |
● | broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
● | a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
● | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of Common Stock under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if available, rather than under this prospectus. In addition, the Selling Stockholders may transfer the shares of Common Stock by other means not described in this prospectus. If the Selling Stockholders effects such transactions by selling shares of Common Stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of Common Stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). The Selling Stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.
42
The Selling Stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the warrants or shares of Common Stock owned by it and, if the Selling Stockholders defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Common Stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending, if necessary, the list of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
To the extent required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of Common Stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the Selling Stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers.
Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of Common Stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of Common Stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
There can be no assurance that the Selling Stockholders will sell any or all of the shares of Common Stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.
The Selling Stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders and any other participating person. To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of Common Stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock.
We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, a Selling Shareholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the selling shareholder against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act in accordance with the registration rights agreements or the Selling Stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the Selling Stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the Selling Stockholders specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreements or we may be entitled to contribution.
Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of Common Stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides, in general, that a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, as we are, may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. In the case of a derivative action, a Delaware corporation may indemnify any such person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person will have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court in which such action was brought determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.
Article VIII of our certificate of incorporation, as amended, states that to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, a director of the corporation shall not be liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.
Under Article IX of our certificate of incorporation, any person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is in any way involved in any threatened, pending or completed action suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including any appeal therefrom, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of ours or was serving at our request as a director or officer of another entity or enterprise (including any subsidiary), may be indemnified and held harmless by us, and we may advance all expenses incurred by such person in defense of any such proceeding prior to its final determination, if this person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in and not opposed to our best interest, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the indemnified party had no reason to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The indemnification provided in our bylaws is not exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may otherwise be entitled.
We maintain a general liability insurance policy that covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of our corporation arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: |
(i) | To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
(ii) | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and |
(iii) | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement. |
(2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
(3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
(4) | That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A (§ 230.430A of Title 17 of the Code of Federal Regulations), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. |
(5) | That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: |
II-13
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§230.424 of Title 17 of the Code of Federal Regulations); |
(ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
(iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
(iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
(6) | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that: |
(i) | For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance on Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the undersigned registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective; and |
(ii) | For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
(7) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
