[S-8 POS] Super League Enterprise, Inc. SEC Filing

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Super League Enterprise, Inc. replaced its Amended and Restated 2014 Stock Option and Incentive Plan with a new 2025 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan approved by stockholders on June 9, 2025. The 2025 Plan initially authorizes 75,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance and also provides for up to 3,708 "Carryover Shares" that represent unissued, expired or forfeited awards from the 2014 Plan.

This Post-Effective Amendment to prior Form S-8 registration statements confirms that those prior registrations will cover the 3,708 Carryover Shares under the 2025 Plan. The company states that no additional securities are being registered by this Post-Effective Amendment, and that share amounts shown have been adjusted to reflect the company’s prior reverse stock splits.

Positive

• Stockholders approved the 2025 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, replacing the 2014 Plan.
• Prior Form S-8 registration statements will cover 3,708 Carryover Shares, ensuring those shares remain registrable under existing filings.

Negative

• No additional securities are registered by this Post-Effective Amendment (the 75,000 newly authorized shares under the 2025 Plan are being registered separately).
• No further awards will be made under the 2014 Plan, which ends future grant activity under that plan.

Insights

Equity Compensation Specialist

TL;DR: Stockholders approved a new 2025 Omnibus Plan authorizing 75,000 shares; prior S-8s now cover 3,708 carryover shares.

The filing is administrative in nature and aligns plan registration mechanics with governance actions. It confirms the transition from the 2014 Plan to the 2025 Plan, notes the specific 75,000 newly authorized shares (filed separately) and ensures that 3,708 Carryover Shares remain registrable under the Prior Registration Statements. For equity-compensation monitoring, this clarifies the pool available for future awards and documents that no further grants will be made under the 2014 Plan. Impact on capitalization depends on actual grant activity, which is not disclosed here.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: The amendment updates disclosure to reflect the new plan and to map carryover shares to existing S-8 registrations.

The Post-Effective Amendment follows SEC guidance and the registrant’s undertaking to disclose material plan distribution changes. It explicitly incorporates prior filings by reference and reconfirms indemnification and charter/bylaw provisions. The action is procedural: it documents stockholder approval of the 2025 Plan and the administrative coverage of 3,708 Carryover Shares under earlier Form S-8 filings. This is not a separate issuance and does not itself change outstanding share counts.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Pursuant to Securities Act Forms Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 126.43 (“C&DI 126.43”) published by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), Super League Enterprise, Inc. (the “Registrant”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statements on Form S-8 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) to the following registration statements on Form S-8 (collectively, the “Prior Registration Statements”) filed by the Registrant with the Commission (all share amounts listed below have been adjusted to reflect (a) the 1-for-20 reverse split of the Registrant’s issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), effected on September 11, 2023, and (b) the 1-for-40 reverse split of the Registrant’s issued and outstanding Common Stock, effected on June 23, 2025):

1) Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-238143) filed on May 11, 2020, with respect to 2,320 shares of Common Stock to be issued under the Registrant’s Amended and Restated 2014 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2014 Plan”);

2) Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-258996) filed on August 23, 2021, with respect to 3,931 shares of Common Stock to be issued under the 2014 Plan;

3) Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-269875) filed on February 21, 2023, with respect to 1,563 shares of Common Stock to be issued under the 2014 Plan; and

4) Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-278863), filed on April 22, 2024, registering 10,938 shares of Common Stock to be issued under the 2014 Plan.

On June 9, 2025, the Registrant’s stockholders approved the Super League Enterprise, Inc. 2025 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”), which replaces the 2014 Plan. No further awards will be made under the 2014 Plan.

The number of shares of Common Stock initially authorized for issuance pursuant to the awards under the 2025 Plan is equal to (a) 75,000 shares of Common Stock, plus (b) any shares subject to awards granted under the 2014 Plan that, on or after June 9, 2025, expire or otherwise terminate without having been exercised or issued in full or are forfeited to or repurchased by the Registrant due to failure to vest, with the maximum number of shares to be added to the 2025 Plan pursuant to clause (b) equal to 3,708 shares of Common Stock (such shares under clause (b), the “Carryover Shares”).

Contemporaneously with the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment, the Registrant is filing a Registration Statement on Form S-8 to register the 75,000 newly authorized shares of Common Stock that have become available for offer or sale pursuant to the 2025 Plan, which number does not include the Carryover Shares.

In accordance with C&DI 126.43 and pursuant to the undertaking in Item 512(a)(1)(iii) of Regulation S-K that the Registrant disclose a material change in the plan of distribution as it was originally disclosed in the Prior Registration Statements, this Post-Effective Amendment is filed to indicate that the Prior Registration Statements will also cover the issuance of the Carryover Shares under the 2025 Plan (as such shares would no longer be issuable under the 2014 Plan as described above). No additional securities are being registered by this Post-Effective Amendment.

Item 5.          Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6.          Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) provides, in general, that a Delaware corporation 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, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) because that person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, so long as the person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed was in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a Delaware corporation 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 or suit by or in the right of the corporation to obtain a judgment in its favor because the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, so long as the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed was in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, except that no indemnification shall be permitted without judicial approval if a court has determined that the person is to be liable to the corporation with respect to such claim. Section 145(c) of the DGCL provides that, if a present or former director or officer has been successful in defense of any action referred to in Sections 145(a) and (b) of the DGCL, the corporation must indemnify such officer or director against the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) he or she actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action.

Section 145(g) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise against any liability asserted against and incurred by such person, in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation could indemnify the person against such liability under Section 145 of the DGCL.

Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (“Charter”), and our Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”) provide for the indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL.

We also may enter into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and officers in addition to the indemnification provided for in our  Charter and Bylaws. These indemnification agreements will provide, among other things, that we will indemnify our directors and officers for certain expenses, including damages, judgments, fines, penalties, settlements and costs and attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by a director or officer in any claim, action or proceeding arising in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the company or in connection with service at our request for another corporation or entity. The indemnification agreements also provide for procedures that will apply in the event that a director or officer makes a claim for indemnification.

We also maintain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy pursuant to which our directors and officers are insured against liability for actions taken in their capacities as directors and officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 9.          Undertakings

(a)   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i)    To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; and

(ii)   To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement; and

(iii)  To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; and

(2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

(3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

(b)   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
