- Retail distribution: Products offered in approximately 5,000 brick-and-mortar U.S. outlets as of June 30, 2025.

- History of capital raises: Company completed multiple private placements and an at-the-market program raising net proceeds (including a 2024 public offering netting ~$11.97 million).
- Potential dilution: Conversion of the Convertible Notes would represent 26.5% of outstanding common stock if converted on August 12, 2025.

- Debt seniority and security: Convertible Notes are senior to other debt and secured by all existing and future assets, affecting creditor and capital structure priorities.
- Extensive warrants and related-party financings: Multiple in‑the‑money warrants and promissory notes issued to directors, officers and related trusts create dilution and governance considerations.
Insights
TL;DR: Registration includes convertible securities that could meaningfully dilute existing holders and influence capital structure.
The S-1 discloses an offering of 12.8 million shares including 4.5 million shares from conversion of senior secured Convertible Notes that are senior in right of payment and redeemable beginning January 1, 2025. Management has completed multiple private placements and warrant exercises in 2023–2024 and listed the company on Nasdaq in May 2024. The company generates retail distribution across ~5,000 outlets and derives under 2% of sales from e-commerce as of June 30, 2025. Material items for modeling include potential dilution equal to 26.5% if notes convert, the secured senior nature of the notes, and historic use of proceeds for capex, working capital and debt reduction.
TL;DR: Significant insider involvement in financings and related-party features warrant close review by investors.
The prospectus discloses multiple transactions involving directors and executive officers, including issuance of warrants and promissory notes to related parties and private placements with officer participation. The Exchange Agreement and Convertible Notes were approved by disinterested board members and the audit committee per the related-party policy. Investors should note the concentration of selling shareholders and the potential market impact if a substantial number of shares are resold.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk and uncertainties. You should carefully consider the following risks described below, together with the information under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on March 27, 2025, and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, which were filed with the SEC on May 14, 2025 and August 14, 2025, respectively, each of which are incorporated herein by reference, as updated or superseded by the risks and uncertainties described under similar headings or elsewhere in the other documents that are filed or furnished after the date hereof and incorporated by reference into this prospectus, together with all of the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering before you make a decision to invest in our common stock. The risks described in these documents are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could be materially adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Please also carefully read the section titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Additional Risk Related to this Offering and Our Common Stock
Sales by the Selling Shareholders of the common stock covered by this prospectus could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
The outstanding 8,286,326 shares common stock and registered hereby represent approximately 65.9% of our total outstanding common stock as of August 12, 2025. The 4,522,282 shares of common stock underlying the Convertible Notes, if converted on August 12, would represent 26.5% of our total outstanding common stock. The resale of all or a substantial number of these shares in the public market by the Selling Shareholders, or the perception that such sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common stock, which could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities.
Purchases by certain existing stockholders at prices below the current market price could result in investment returns not available to future investors.
Certain existing stockholders, including the Selling Stockholders, purchased or may purchase, securities in the Company at a price below the current trading price of the Common Stock, and may experience a positive rate of return based on the current trading price. Future investors in the Company may not experience a similar rate of return.

Table of Contents
in such forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, believed, estimated, or expected.
We discuss many of these risks in greater detail under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and under similar headings in the documents incorporated herein by reference. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements we may make.

We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made and are based only on the information available to us at that time. Except as required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation to subsequently revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
You should read this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference herein 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 the forward-looking statements in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus by these cautionary statements. Except as required by law, each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Moreover, new risks regularly emerge, and it is not possible for our management to predict or articulate all risks we face, nor can we assess the impact of all risks on our business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements, which differences could be material. All forward-looking statements included in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus are based on information available to us on the date of this prospectus or the date of the applicable document incorporated by reference. Except to the extent required by applicable laws or rules, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS
The table below sets forth information known to us regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of August 12, 2025, based in information obtained from the persons named below or as filed with the SEC, with respect to the beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock by:
• each person who is known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our common stock;
• each director;
• each named executive officer; and
• all of our directors and executive officers as a group.
On August 12, 2025, we had 12,223,599 shares of common stock outstanding.
The number of common stock beneficially owned by a person includes shares subject to options, warrants or other convertible securities held by that person that are currently exercisable or that become exercisable within 60 days of August 12, 2025. Percentage calculations assume, for each person and group, that all common stock that may be acquired by such person or group pursuant to options, warrants, or other convertible securities that are held currently exercisable or that become exercisable within 60 days of August 12, 2025 are outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of common stock owned by such person or group. However, such unissued common stock described above are not deemed to be outstanding for calculating the percentage of common stock owned by any other person. The percentage of common stock beneficially owned is computed on the basis of 12,223,599 common stock outstanding as of August 12, 2025.
Except as otherwise indicated, the persons in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all common stock shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to community property laws where applicable. The Company does not know of any arrangement, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control.
As used in the table below and elsewhere in this form, the term “beneficial ownership” with respect to a security consists of sole or shared voting power, including the power to vote or direct the vote and/or sole or shared investment power, including the power to dispose or direct the disposition, with respect to the security through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise, including a right to acquire such power(s) during the next 60 days following August 12, 2025. Inclusion of shares in the table does not, however, constitute an admission that the named stockholder is a direct or indirect beneficial owner of those shares. Unless otherwise indicated, (i) each person or entity named in the table has sole voting power and investment power (or shares that power with that person’s spouse) with respect to all shares of capital stock listed as owned by that person or entity, and (ii) the address of each person or entity named in the table is c/o Sow Good Inc., 1440 N Union Bower Rd, Irving, TX 75061.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
General
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue up to 520,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 12,223,599 shares of common stock and no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding as of the date of August 12, 2025. Our Articles of Incorporation provide that the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of common stock is required to increase or decrease number of authorized shares, as described below.
Common Stock
Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Our holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by our Board of Directors (the “Board”) out of funds legally available therefor, which may be paid in cash, property, or in shares of the Company’s capital stock. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntarily or involuntarily, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive their ratable share of the net assets of the Company legally available for distribution after payment of all debts and other liabilities. There are no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the common stock.
Dividends
We have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception and do not anticipate paying dividends for the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends will be subject to the discretion of our Board and will depend, among other things, upon our earnings, our capital requirements, our financial condition, and other relevant factors. We intend to reinvest any earnings in the development and expansion of our business. Any cash dividends in the future to common stockholders will be payable when, as and if declared by our Board, based upon the board’s assessment of our financial condition and performance, earnings, need for funds, capital requirements, prior claims of preferred stock to the extent issued and outstanding, and other factors, including income tax consequences, restrictions and applicable laws. There can be no assurance, therefore, that any dividends on our common stock will ever be paid.
Preferred Stock
The shares of preferred stock may be issued in series, and shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such stock adopted from time to time by the Board. The Board is expressly vested with the authority to determine and fix in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuances of all or any of the remaining preferred stock the voting powers, designations, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of each such series to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware.
Number of Directors; Vacancies; Removal
Our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) provide that only our Board may increase or decrease the number of directors. Any vacancy on the Board may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors though less than a quorum of the Board. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his predecessor in office, and shall hold such office until the next annual election and until his successor is duly elected and qualified. Any directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of directors shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office or by an election at an annual meeting, or at a special meeting of stockholders called for that purpose. A director chosen to fill a position resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall hold office only until the next election of directors by the stockholder.
14
Table of Contents
Our Bylaws provide that any director or directors of the corporation may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and by the vote or written consent of stockholders representing not less than a majority of the issued and outstanding capital stock entitled to voting power.
Authorized Shares
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of common stock is required to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares or the number of shares of any class we have authority to issue. Issuance of such a new class or series could, depending upon the terms of the class or series, delay, defer, or prevent a change of control of the Company.
Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations
Our Bylaws contain advance notice provisions that a stockholder must follow if it intends to bring business proposals or director nominations, as applicable, before a meeting of stockholders. These provisions may preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before the annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations at the annual meeting of stockholders.
No Cumulative Voting
Holders of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. The absence of cumulative voting may make it more difficult for stockholders owning less than a majority of our common stock to elect any directors to our Board.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
Because our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights, stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of our shares of common stock will be able to elect all of our directors. A special meeting of stockholders may only be called by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the Executive Chairman of the Company or a majority of our Board. Our Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of our stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to our board of directors. Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws grant the Board the power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws.
The foregoing provisions will make it more difficult for another party to obtain control of us by replacing our board of directors. Since our board of directors has the power to retain and discharge our officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management. In addition, the authorization of undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change our control.
These provisions are intended to: facilitate our continued product innovation and the risk-taking that it requires; permit us to continue to prioritize our long-term goals rather than short-term results; and enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of our board of directors and its policies. These provisions are also designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition attempt and to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in our control or management. As a consequence, these provisions may also inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts.
Choice of Forum
Our Articles of Incorporation provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner of stock) to bring: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (ii) any action asserting a claim of, or claim based on, breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees, agents or stockholders to us or to our stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Charter or the Bylaws; (iv) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Charter or Bylaws; or (v) any action asserting a claim against us governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Our
15
Table of Contents
Charter also provides the, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any claims for which federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.
Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Our Articles of Incorporation provide that no director or officer will be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except as required by applicable law, as in effect from time to time. Currently, Delaware law requires that liability be imposed for the following:
• any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to our company or our stockholders;
• any act or omission not in good faith or which involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
• unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; and
• any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
As a result, neither we nor our stockholders have the right, through stockholders’ derivative suits on our behalf, to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, including breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior, except in the situations described above.
Our Bylaws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we will indemnify any officer or director of our company against all damages, claims and liabilities arising out of the fact that the person is or was our director or officer, or served any other enterprise at our request as a director, officer or trustee. We will reimburse the expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by a person indemnified by this provision. Amending this provision will not reduce our indemnification obligations relating to actions taken before an amendment.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Empire Stock Transfer.
Trading Symbol and Market

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Selling Shareholders of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the Company’s principal trading market, which is currently the Nasdaq Capital Market, or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:
• ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
• one or more underwritten offerings;
• block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities 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 accounts;
• an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
• privately negotiated transactions;
• distributions to their members, partners, or stockholders;
• short sales effected after the date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is declared effective by the SEC;
• through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
• in market transactions, including transactions on a national securities exchange or quotations service or over-the-counter market;
• directly to one or more purchasers;
• through agents;
• broker-dealers who may agree with the Selling Shareholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per share; or
• a combination of any such methods of sale.
The Selling Shareholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.
In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Shareholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

Table of Contents
The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Shareholders from the sale of shares of our common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of such shares, less discounts or commissions, if any. The Selling Shareholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of shares of our common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from any offering by the Selling Shareholders.
The Selling Shareholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents that participate in the sale of shares of our common stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions, or profit they earn on any resale of such securities may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. If any Selling Shareholders is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, then such Selling Shareholders will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Underwriters and their controlling persons, dealers, and agents may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us and the Selling Shareholders, to indemnification against and contribution toward specific civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
To the extent required, the number of shares of our common stock to be sold, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agent, dealer, or underwriter, and any applicable discounts, commissions, concessions, or other compensation with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
To facilitate the offering of shares offered by the Selling Shareholders, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain, or otherwise affect the price of our common stock. This may include over-allotments or short sales, which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering of more shares of common stock than were sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option, if any. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of our common stock by bidding for or purchasing shares of common stock in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if shares of common stock sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of our common stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.
A selling stockholder that is an entity may elect to make an in-kind distribution of common stock to its members, partners, or stockholders pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part by delivering a prospectus. To the extent that such members, partners, or stockholders are not affiliates of ours, such members, partners, or stockholders would thereby receive freely tradable shares of common stock pursuant to the distribution through a registration statement.
We intend to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Shareholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale of the securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale of the securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale of the securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the Selling Shareholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Shareholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 102 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware permits a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his or her duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, or Charter, provides that none of our directors shall be personally liable to us or to our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability, except to the extent that the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or a person serving at the request of the corporation for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in related capacities, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding to which he or she was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of such position, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, except that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Our Charter and our Bylaws provide indemnification for our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, subject to certain limited exceptions. We will indemnify each person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of us) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at our request as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (all such persons being referred to as an “Indemnitee”), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if such Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or
II-1
Table of Contents
not opposed to, our best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Our Charter and Bylaws will provide that we will indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is a party to an action or suit by or in the right of us to procure a judgment in our favor by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at our request as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and, to the extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, and any appeal therefrom, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to us, unless a court determines that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he or she is entitled to indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, he or she will be indemnified by us against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. Expenses must be advanced to an Indemnitee under certain circumstances.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. Each indemnification agreement provides, among other things, for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law and our Charter and Bylaws against any and all expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement of any claim. The indemnification agreements provide for the advancement or payment of all expenses to the indemnitee and for the reimbursement to us if it is found that such indemnitee is not entitled to such indemnification under applicable law and our Charter and Bylaws.
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.
In any underwriting agreement we enter into in connection with the sale of common stock being registered hereby, the underwriters will agree to indemnify, under certain conditions, us, our directors, our officers and persons who control us within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, against certain liabilities.
Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities; Use of Proceeds From Registered Securities Offerings
In the three years preceding filing of this Registration Statement, we have issued and sold the following unregistered securities:
• On April 15, 2024, the Company issued 2,186,250 shares of its common stock in connection with the exercise of warrants that were issued between December 2021 and May 2023 (the “Warrants”), with exercise prices varying from $2.21 to $2.60 (the “Warrant Exercise”). None of the Warrants were amended prior to or in connection with the Warrant Exercise. Each of the exercising holders of warrants (collectively, the “Holders”), received its warrants in connection with the incurrence by the Company of indebtedness pursuant to various tranches of promissory notes issued between December 2021 and May 2023 (collectively, the “Notes”). The Warrants were classified as permanent equity at inception. Due to a redemption feature in the Warrants allowing the Company to redeem the Warrants for $0.001 per Warrant if the daily volume weighted average price per share over thirty consecutive trading days is above $9.00, the Company received indications of intent to exercise Warrants from various Holders given the recent increase in trading price of the Company’s common stock. With authorization from the Company’s Board of Directors, each of the Holders was provided an opportunity to, and agreed to, amend certain of such Holder’s Notes (the “Notes Amendment”) to allow for the partial prepayment of principal in an aggregate amount equal to the exercise price of such Holder’s Warrants. In addition to the Notes Amendment, certain of the Holders elected use a portion of the accrued but unpaid interest under such Holder’s Notes to pay the exercise price of the Warrants. Certain of the Notes were repaid in full as a result of the Warrant Exercise and thereby did not need to be amended pursuant to the Notes Amendment (the Warrant Exercise, whether by partial or full repayment of principal, or by election to use a portion of accrued but unpaid interest under the Notes, together with the Notes Amendment, the “Warrant Exercise Transaction”). As a result of the Warrant Exercise Transaction, excluding the impact of deferred debt

costs, the Company’s debt was reduced by $5,200,362, accrued interest payable was reduced by $98,750, common equity was increased by $5,299,112 and the Company issued an aggregate of 2,186,250 shares of common stock.

The warrants were issued in-the-money and are fully vested and exercisable over a period of 10 years at a price of $2.50 per share. The Company may redeem outstanding warrants prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per share, provided that the volume weighted average sale price per share of common stock equals or exceeds $9.00 per share for thirty (30) consecutive trading days ending on the third business day prior to the mailing of notice of such redemption. The estimated value using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model, based on a volatility rate of 138% and a weighted average call option value of $4,469, was $112,371, of which $100,000 was recognized as a debt discount. The debt discount portion of the warrants are being expensed to amortized interest over the life of the loans. On April 15, 2024, the Company entered into certain warrant exercise agreements with each of the existing noteholders of the Company who also own certain of the Company’s warrants (such transaction, the “Warrant Exercise Transaction”). In connection with the Warrant Exercise Transaction, the promissory note’s aggregate principal amount was reduced to $37,500, the related debt discount will be written down proportionately and included in loss on extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2024.

Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
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.
The undersigned hereby undertakes that:
(1) 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 upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act 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.
