On November 13, 2024, the Company entered into settlement and release agreements (the "Settlement Agreements") with the current and former holders (the "Holders" or "Selling Stockholders") of its Series B Common Stock purchase warrants (the "Series B Warrants") exercisable for up to an aggregate of 386,800 shares of Common Stock issued, on August 5, 2024, pursuant to those certain securities purchase agreements, dated August 2, 2024, by and between the Company and the Holders.

Company Overview
LogicMark, Inc. provides personal emergency response systems ("PERS"), health communications devices, and Internet of Things ("IoT") technology that creates a connected care platform. The Company's devices provide people with the ability to receive care at home and age independently. The Company's PERS devices incorporate two-way voice communication technology directly in the medical alert pendant and provide life-saving technology at a customer-friendly price point aimed at everyday consumers. These PERS technologies as well as other personal safety devices are sold direct-to-consumer through the Company's eCommerce website and Amazon.com, through dealers and resellers, as well as directly to the United States Veterans Health Administration (the "VHA"). The Company was awarded a contract by the U.S. General Services Administration (the "GSA") that enables the Company to distribute its products to federal, state, and local governments (the "GSA Agreement").
Healthcare
LogicMark builds technology to remotely check, manage and monitor a loved one's health and safety. The Company is focused on modernizing remote monitoring to help people stay safe and live independently longer. We believe there are five trends driving the demand for better remote monitoring systems:
1. The "Silver Tsunami". With 11,000 Baby Boomers turning 65 in the U.S. every day, there will be more older adults than children under 18 for the first time in the near future. With 72 million "Baby Boomers" in the United States, they are not only one of the largest generations, but the wealthiest. Unlike generations before them, Baby Boomers are reliant and comfortable with technology. Most of them expect to live independently at home.
2. Shift to At-Home Care. As it stands, the current healthcare system is unprepared for the resource strain and is shifting much of the care elderly patients used to receive at a hospital or medical facility to the patient's home. The rise of digital communication to support remote care exploded during the COVID-19 pandemic. The need for connected and remote monitoring devices is more necessary and in-demand than ever before.
3. Rise of Data and IoT. Doctors and clinicians are asking patients to track more and more vital signs. Whether it's how they're reacting to medication or tracking blood sugar, patients and their caregivers are participating in their healthcare in unprecedented ways. Consumers are using data collected from connected devices like never before. This data can be used to prevent health emergencies as technology companies use machine learning (ML) / artificial intelligence ("AI") to learn patient patterns and alert the patient and their care team of potential emergencies, leading to a switch to predicting potential problems from reacting to current problems after they occur.
4. Lack of Healthcare Workers. It's estimated that 20% of healthcare workers quit during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many healthcare workers who were working during the COVID-19 pandemic suffered from burnout, exhaustion and demoralization due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There were not enough healthcare workers to support our entire population throughout the pandemic, let alone enough to support our elderly population. The responsibility of taking care of elderly family members is increasingly falling on the family, and they need help.
1
5. Rise of the Care Economy. The term "Care Economy" refers to the money people contribute to care for people until the end of their lives; the Care Economy offsets the deficiencies within the healthcare system and the desire to age in place. There has been little innovation in the industry because the majority of PERS are operated by home security companies. It is not their main line of business, and they have little expertise in developing or launching machine-learning algorithms or artificial intelligence.
Together, we believe these trends have produced a large and growing market opportunity for LogicMark. The Company enjoys a strong base of business with the VHA and plans to expand to other government agencies after being awarded the five-year GSA Agreement in July 2021, which is renewable for up to 25 years.
The PERS Opportunity
PERS or personal emergency response services, also known as a medical alert or medical alarm system, is designed to detect a threat that requires attention and then immediately contacts a trusted family member and/or the emergency medical workforce. Unlike conventional alarm systems which consist of a transmitter and are activated in the case of an emergency, PERS transmits signals to an alarm monitoring medical team, which then departs for the location where the alarm was activated. These types of medical alarms are traditionally utilized by the disabled, elderly or those living alone.
The PERS market is generally divided into direct-to-consumer and healthcare customer channels. With the advent of new technologies, demographic changes, and our five previously stated trends in healthcare, an expanded opportunity exists for LogicMark to provide at-home and on-the-go health and safety solutions to both customer channels.
For LogicMark, growing the healthcare opportunity relies on partnering with organizations such as government, Medicaid, hospitals, insurance companies, managed care organizations, affiliates and dealers. Partners can provide leads at no cost for new and replacement customers, have significant buying power and can provide collaboration on product research and development.
Our longstanding partnership with the VHA is a good example. LogicMark has sold over 850,000 PERS devices since 2012, of which over 500,000 devices have been sold to the VHA. The signing of the GSA Agreement in 2021 further strengthened our partnership with the government and expanded our ability to capture new sales. We envision a continued focus on growing the healthcare channel during 2023 given lower acquisition costs and higher customer unit economics.
In addition to the healthcare channel, LogicMark also expects to continue growth in sales volume through its direct-to-consumer channel. It is estimated that approximately 70% of PERS customers fall into the direct-to-consumer category. Family members regularly conduct research and purchase PERS devices for their loved ones through online websites. The Company expects traditionally higher customer acquisition costs to be balanced by higher sales growth and lower sales cycles with an online DTC channel.
With the growth in IoT devices, data driven solutions using AI and ML are helping guide the growth of the PERS industry. In both the healthcare and direct-to-consumer channels, product offerings can include 24/7 emergency response, fall detection, location tracking and geo-fencing, activity monitoring, medication management, caregiver and patient portals, concierge services, telehealth, vitals monitoring, and customer dashboards. These product offerings are primarily delivered via mobile and home-base equipment. LogicMark will also continue to pursue research and development partnerships to grow our product offerings.
Corporate Information
We were originally incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 8, 2012. In 2016, we acquired LogicMark, LLC, which operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company until December 30, 2021, when it was merged into the Company (formerly known as Nxt-ID Inc.) along with the Company's other subsidiary, 3D-ID, LLC. Effective February 28, 2022, the Company changed its name from Nxt-ID, Inc. to LogicMark, Inc. The Company has realigned its business strategy with that of its former LogicMark, LLC operating division, managing contract manufacturing and distribution of non-monitored and monitored PERS sold through the VHA, direct-to-consumers, healthcare durable medical equipment dealers and distributors and monitored security dealers and distributors.
2
On June 1, 2023, the Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada by merging its predecessor entity with and into its wholly-owned subsidiary, LogicMark, Inc., a Nevada corporation, pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of June 1, 2023. Such Nevada entity survived and succeeded to the assets, continued the business and assumed the rights and obligations of LogicMark, Inc., the Delaware corporation that existed immediately prior to the effective date of such agreement.
Our principal executive office is located at 2801 Diode Lane, Louisville, KY 40299, and our telephone number is (502) 519-2419. Our website address is www.logicmark.com. The information contained therein or connected thereto shall not be deemed to be incorporated into this prospectus. The information on our website is not part of this prospectus.
Recent Developments
Reverse Stock Splits
On November 18, 2024, the Company, acting pursuant to authority received at a special meeting of its stockholders on October 1, 2024, filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (i) a certificate of change (the "Charter Amendment") to its articles of incorporation, as amended (the "Articles of Incorporation"), which effected the Common Stock Reverse Stock Split; and (ii) a certificate of amendment (the "Series C Certificate of Amendment") to its Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series C Non-Convertible Voting Preferred Stock ("Series C Certificate of Designations"), which effected a one-for-twenty-five reverse stock split (the "Series C Reverse Stock Split" and together with the Common Stock Reverse Stock Split, the "Reverse Stock Splits") of all of the Company's outstanding shares of Series C Non-Convertible Voting Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Series C Preferred Stock"), and which proportionally increased the stated value of the Series C Preferred Stock from $200,000 per share to $2,000,000 per share. Pursuant to each of the Charter Amendment and the Series C Certificate of Amendment, each of the Reverse Stock Splits became effective as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 18, 2024. As a result of the Reverse Stock Splits, every twenty-five (25) shares of Common Stock were exchanged for one (1) share of Common Stock and every twenty-five (25) shares of Series C Preferred Stock were exchanged for one (1) share of Series C Preferred Stock. The Common Stock began trading on Nasdaq on a split-adjusted basis at the start of trading on November 19, 2024.
The Reverse Stock Splits did not affect the total number of shares of capital stock, including the Common Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, that the Company is authorized to issue, which remain as set forth pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation and the Series C Certificate of Designations, respectively. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Splits, all of which shares of post-split Common Stock and Series C Preferred Stock were rounded up to the nearest whole number of such shares.

RISK FACTORS
Holding the shares of Common Stock offered under this prospectus involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider and evaluate all of the information contained in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and in the documents that we incorporate by reference herein before you decide to invest in our Common Stock. In particular, you should carefully consider and evaluate the risks and uncertainties described under the heading "Risk Factors" in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 as well as of the documents incorporated by reference herein or therein. Investors are further advised that the risks described below may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not yet know of, or that we currently think are immaterial, may also negatively impact our business operations or financial results. Any of the risks and uncertainties set forth in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, as updated by annual, quarterly and other reports and documents that we file with the SEC and incorporate by reference into this prospectus, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the value of our Common Stock.
Risks Related to the Resale of the Series H Conversion Shares and Ownership of Our Common Stock
The Selling Stockholders may choose to sell the Series H Conversion Shares at prices below the current market price.
The Selling Stockholders are not restricted as to the prices at which they may sell or otherwise dispose of the Series H Conversion Shares covered by this prospectus. Sales or other dispositions of the Series H Conversion Shares below the then-current market prices could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.
A large number of shares of Common Stock may be sold in the market following this offering and upon the SEC declaring this registration statement on Form S-3 effective, which may significantly depress the market price of our Common Stock.
The Series H Conversion Shares sold in the offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") upon the SEC declaring this registration statement on Form S-3 effective. As a result, a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may be sold in the public market following this offering and upon the SEC declaring this Registration Statement effective.
If there are significantly more shares of Common Stock offered for sale than buyers are willing to purchase, then the market price of our Common Stock may decline to a market price at which buyers are willing to purchase the offered Common Stock and sellers remain willing to sell our Common Stock. Sales of a substantial number of Series H Conversion Shares in the public market following the completion of this offering, or the perception that such sales might occur, could depress the market price of our Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of our additional equity securities.
5
You may experience future dilution as a result of the issuance of the Series H Conversion Shares, future equity offerings by us and other issuances of our Common Stock or other securities. In addition, the issuance of the Series H Conversion Shares and future equity offerings and other issuances of our Common Stock or other securities may adversely affect our Common Stock price.
In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Common Stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share as prior issuances of Common Stock. We may not be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share previously paid by investors, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the prices per share for previous issuances of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock paid by certain investors. You will incur dilution upon exercise of any outstanding stock options or warrants or upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock in accordance with our equity incentive plans. In addition, the issuance of the Series H Conversion Shares and any future sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the price of our Common Stock. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares of Common Stock or the availability of such shares for sale will have on the market price of our Common Stock.
Neither we nor the Selling Stockholders have authorized any other party to provide you with information concerning us or this offering.
You should carefully evaluate all of the information in this prospectus and the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, including the documents incorporated by reference herein. We may receive media coverage regarding our Company, including coverage that is not directly attributable to statements made by our officers, that incorrectly reports on statements made by our officers or employees, or that is misleading as a result of omitting information provided by us, our officers or employees. Neither we nor the Selling Stockholders have authorized any other party to provide you with information concerning us or this offering of Series H Conversion Shares, and such recipients should not rely on this information.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the documents we incorporate by reference herein or therein contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21(E) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Section 27A of the Securities Act. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation: statements regarding proposed new products or services; statements concerning litigation or other matters; statements concerning projections, predictions, expectations, estimates or forecasts for our business, financial and operating results and future economic performance; statements of our management's goals and objectives; statements concerning our competitive environment, availability of resources and regulation; trends affecting our financial condition, results of operations or future prospects; our financing plans or growth strategies; and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Words such as "may", "will", "should", "could", "would", "predicts", "potential", "continue", "expects", "anticipates", "future", "intends", "plans", "believes" and "estimates," and variations of such terms or similar expressions, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which, that performance or those results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time they are made and/or our management's good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from what is expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. 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 securities laws. If we do 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. You should review our subsequent reports filed with the SEC described in the sections of this prospectus entitled "Where You Can Find More Information" and "Incorporation of Documents by Reference," all of which are accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA
Unless otherwise indicated, information contained in this prospectus concerning our industry and the market in which we operate, including our market position, market opportunity and market size, is based on information from various sources, on assumptions that we have made based on such data and other similar sources and on our knowledge of the markets for our products. These data sources involve a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates.
We have not independently verified any third-party information. While we believe the market position, market opportunity and market size information included in this prospectus is generally reliable, such information is inherently imprecise. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industry in which we operate is necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in the section titled "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by the independent parties and by us.

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENTS AND ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK
On November 13, 2024, the Company entered into Settlement Agreements with the Selling Stockholders. In connection with the Settlement Agreements, on November 13, 2024, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (the "Nevada Secretary of State"): (i) a Series H Certificate of Designation to designate 1,000 shares of the Company's authorized and unissued preferred stock as Series H Preferred Stock; and (ii) a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series I Non-Convertible Voting Preferred Stock (the "Series I Certificate of Designation") to designate 1,000 shares of the Company's authorized and unissued preferred stock as Series I Preferred Stock. Each of the Series H Certificate of Designation and the Series I Certificate of Designation became effective upon its filing with the Nevada Secretary of State, and establishes the rights, preferences, privileges, qualifications, restrictions, and limitations relating to the applicable Preferred Stock.
Pursuant to the Settlement Agreements, in consideration for the Selling Stockholders' agreement to exercise any outstanding Series B Warrants on or before the date of the issuance of the Preferred Stock and waive any and all claims or demands that the Selling Stockholders may receive upon exercise of the Series B Warrants pursuant to Sections 2.3 and 3.8 of the Series B Warrants on or after the effective time of the Company's then next reverse stock split of its outstanding Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of four (4) times the number of shares of Common Stock that was initially issuable upon exercise of the Series B Warrants as of the date of their issuance, the Company issued to the Selling Stockholders, on November 14, 2024, (i) an aggregate of 1,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock, which are convertible at the option of the holder thereof into Series H Conversion Shares at an initial conversion price of $11.64, and (ii) an aggregate of 1,000 shares of Series I Preferred Stock, each share of which entitles the holder thereof to two (2) votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company. The Series I Preferred Stock will be automatically redeemed for no consideration upon the redemption, conversion or sale of shares of Series H Preferred Stock on a one for one basis. The shares of Series H Preferred Stock have a stated value of $1,000.
Pursuant to Section 6(c) of the Series H Certificate of Designation, following the Common Stock Reverse Stock Split, the conversion price of the Series H Preferred Stock was reset at $1.91 per share. The Series H Conversion Shares are subject to a 4.99%/9.99% beneficial ownership limitation. In an event of liquidation, each holder of Series H Preferred Stock is entitled to the greater of (a) the aggregate stated value of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock, and (b) the amount the holder's shares of Series H Preferred Stock would be entitled to receive if their shares of Series H Preferred Stock were fully converted.
Also pursuant to the Settlement Agreements, on the issuance date of the Preferred Stock, the Company entered into registration rights agreements with the Selling Stockholders (pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the resale of the Series H Conversion Shares). The Company is required to prepare and file the resale registration statement with the SEC no later than the 30th calendar day following the issuance of the Preferred Stock and to use its best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective within 60 calendar days after such date, subject to certain exceptions. In order to satisfy such obligations, the Company is filing this registration statement to register for resale all of the Series H Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock issued to the Selling Stockholders.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The shares of Common Stock being offered by the Selling Stockholders consist of the Series H Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of Series H Preferred Stock. For additional information regarding the issuance of these securities, see "Settlement Agreements and Issuance of Preferred Stock" beginning on page 8 of this prospectus. We are registering the Series H Conversion Shares in order to permit the Selling Stockholders to offer such shares of Common Stock for resale from time to time. Except for the Settlement Agreements described in the section entitled "Settlement Agreements and Issuance of Preferred Stock", and as disclosed in this section under "Material Relationships with Selling Stockholders," the Selling Stockholders have not had any material relationship with us or our affiliates within the past three years.
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to each Selling Stockholder, including (i) the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholder prior to this offering, (ii) the number of Series H Conversion Shares being offered by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to this prospectus and (iii) the Selling Stockholders' beneficial and percentage ownership of our outstanding shares of Common Stock after completion of this offering. The registration of the Series H Conversion Shares issuable to the Selling Stockholders upon conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock does not necessarily mean that the Selling Stockholders will sell all or any of such Series H Conversion Shares, but the number of shares of Common Stock and percentages set forth in the final two columns below assume that all Series H Conversion Shares being offered by the Selling Stockholders are sold. The final two columns also assume, as of December 12, 2024, the full conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock, without regard to any limitations on conversion. See "Plan of Distribution."
The table is based on information supplied to us by the Selling Stockholders, with beneficial ownership and percentage ownership determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, and includes voting or investment power with respect to shares of Common Stock. This information does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. In computing the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a Selling Stockholder and the percentage ownership of that Selling Stockholder, shares of Common Stock subject to securities held by that Selling Stockholder that are exercisable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock within 60 days after December 12, 2024, are deemed outstanding. Such shares of Common Stock, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other stockholder.

Common Stock
Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote, either in person or by proxy, at meetings of stockholders. Generally, all matters to be voted on by stockholders must be approved by a majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a plurality) of the votes entitled to be cast by all shares of common stock that are present in person or represented by proxy. Our Articles of Incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") out of funds legally available. We have not paid any dividends since our inception, and we presently anticipate that all earnings, if any, will be retained for development of our business. Any future disposition of dividends will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend upon, among other things, our future earnings, operating and financial condition, capital requirements, and other factors.
Holders of our Common Stock have no preemptive rights or other subscription rights, conversion rights, registration rights, redemption or sinking fund provisions by virtue of only holding such shares. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities.
Series H Preferred Stock
Stated Value. Each share of Series H Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000.
Voting. Holders of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote on matters on which the holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to vote until and unless such holder has converted such shares of Series H Preferred Stock into Series H Conversion Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any shares of Series H Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company cannot, without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series H Preferred Stock, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series H Preferred Stock or alter or amend the Series H Certificate of Designation, (b) amend the Articles of Incorporation or any other charter documents of the Company in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the Holders or (c) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.
13
Ranking. The Series H Preferred Stock, with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, are junior in rank only to the Company's Series F Preferred Stock, the Series C Preferred Stock, and any capital stock a majority of holders of the Series H Preferred Stock consent to the creation of.
Conversion. At any time from and after the first date of issuance of any Series H Preferred Stock, a holder of Series H Preferred Stock may convert all, or any part, of the outstanding Series H Preferred Stock, at any time at such holder's option, into Series H Conversion Shares at an initial conversion price of $11.64, which is subject to proportional adjustment upon the occurrence of any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination and/or similar transactions. Subject to the rules and regulations of Nasdaq, the Company has the right to, at any time, with the written consent of a majority of the holders of outstanding Series H Preferred Stock, lower the conversion price to any amount. In addition, the conversion price of the Series H Preferred Stock reset on the fifth trading day following the effective date of the Company's next reverse stock split of its outstanding Common Stock to the greater of (i) the lowest volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC during the five trading days immediately preceding the reset date and (ii) a floor price of $0.1785. Following the Common Stock Reverse Stock Split, the conversion price of the Series H Preferred Stock was reset at $1.91 per share.
Each holder of Series H Preferred Stock is prohibited from converting their shares of Series H Preferred Stock if, after giving effect to the issuance of such Series H Conversion Shares, such holder together with its affiliates would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock. A holder of Series H Preferred Stock may increase such Beneficial Ownership Limitation to 9.99% upon notice to the Company.
Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as the Series H Preferred Stock is outstanding, if the Company declares or makes any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction), other than dividends or issuances of rights pursuant to the Company's existing rights agreement to holders of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (a "Distribution"), at any time after the issuance of the Series H Preferred Stock, then, in each such case, the holder will be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the holder would have participated therein if the holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion hereof, including without limitation, the beneficial ownership limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the holder's right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the holder exceeding such limitation, then the holder will not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the holder exceeding the beneficial ownership limitation).
Redemption. The shares Series H Preferred Stock are not redeemable.
Liquidation. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Series H Preferred Stock holders are entitled to the greater of (a) the aggregate stated value of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock and (b) such amount the holders of shares of Series H Preferred Stock would be entitled to receive if their shares of Series H Preferred Stock were fully converted.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
Some features of the Nevada Revised Statutes ("NRS"), which are further described below, may have the effect of deterring third parties from making takeover bids for control of us or may be used to hinder or delay a takeover bid. This would decrease the chance that our stockholders would realize a premium over market price for their shares of Common Stock as a result of a takeover bid.
14
Acquisition of Controlling Interest
The NRS contain provisions governing acquisition of a controlling interest of a Nevada corporation. These provisions provide generally that any person or entity that acquires a certain percentage of the outstanding voting shares of a Nevada corporation may be denied voting rights with respect to the acquired shares, unless certain criteria are satisfied. On November 1, 2024, the Company entered into a rights agreement with Nevada Agency and Transfer Company (the "Rights Agreement"). Pursuant to the Rights Agreement, in the event that a person or entity or group thereof becomes the Beneficial Owner (as defined in the Rights Agreement) of at least fifteen percent (15%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (an "Acquiring Person"), each holder of Common Stock as of the close of business on November 1, 2024 (the "Record Date") will be entitled to receive a dividend of one right for each share of Common Stock owned by such holder (each, a "Right"), with each Right exercisable for one one-hundredth of a share of the Company's Series G Non-Convertible Voting Preferred Stock, at a price of $0.05 per one-hundredth of a share (the "Purchase Price"), subject to adjustment as set forth in the Rights Agreement.
Combination with Interested Stockholder
The NRS contain provisions governing combinations of a Nevada corporation that has 200 or more stockholders of record with an "interested stockholder." These provisions only apply to a Nevada corporation that, at the time the potential acquirer became an interested stockholder, has a class or series of voting shares listed on a national securities exchange, or has a class or series of voting shares traded in an "organized market" and satisfies certain specified public float and stockholder levels. As we do not now meet those requirements, we do not believe that these provisions are currently applicable to us. However, to the extent they become applicable to us in the future, they may have the effect of delaying or making it more difficult to affect a change in control of the Company in the future.
A corporation affected by these provisions may not engage in a combination within two years after the interested stockholder acquires his, her or its shares unless the combination or purchase is approved by the board of directors before the interested stockholder acquired such shares. Generally, if approval is not obtained, then after the expiration of the two-year period, the business combination may be consummated with the approval of the board of directors before the person became an interested stockholder or a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders, or if the consideration to be received per share by disinterested stockholders is at least equal to the highest of:
● | the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the three years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or within three years immediately before, or in, the transaction in which he, she or it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher; |
● | the market value per share on the date of announcement of the combination or the date the person became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher; or |
● | if higher for the holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, if any. |
Generally, these provisions define an interested stockholder as a person who is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of a corporation, and define combination to include any merger or consolidation with an interested stockholder, or any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions with an interested stockholder of assets of the corporation:
● | having an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation; |
● | having an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation; or |
● | representing 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation. |

Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of our Bylaws
Our Bylaws provide that directors may be removed by the stockholders with or without cause upon the vote of a plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders. Furthermore, the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the Board, and vacancies may only be filled by a majority vote of the directors, although such majority is less than a quorum, or by a plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders. Except as otherwise provided in the Bylaws and the Articles of Incorporation any vacancies or newly created directorships on the Board resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors elected by all of the stockholders having the right to vote as a single class may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum.
Our Bylaws also provide that only a director, chief executive officer, chief financial officer, president, vice president or corporate secretary may call a special meeting of stockholders.
The combination of these provisions makes it more difficult for our existing stockholders to replace our Board as well as for another party to obtain control of us by replacing our Board. Since our Board 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 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 enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of our Board and its policies and to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to reduce our vulnerability to hostile takeovers 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 delaying changes in our control or management. As a consequence, these provisions may also inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our Common Stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. We believe that the benefits of these provisions, including increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure our Company, outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover proposals, because negotiation of takeover proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Each Selling Stockholder 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 principal trading 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 Stockholder 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; | |
● | 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 account; | |
● | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; | |
● | privately negotiated transactions; | |
● | settlement of short sales; | |
● | in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security; | |
● | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; | |
● | a combination of any such methods of sale; or | |
● | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The Selling Stockholders may also sell 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 Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of 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 2440 and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders 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 Stockholders 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).
17
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement 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 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 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 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 Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 78.138 of the NRS provides that, subject to certain exceptions under Nevada law, unless the articles of incorporation or an amendment thereto provides for greater individual liability, a director or officer is not individually liable to the Company or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that (i) the director's or officer's act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer and (ii) the breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. The Company's articles of incorporation further provide that the personal liability of the directors of the Company is eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS.
Section 78.7502 of the NRS provides, in general, that a 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, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that 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, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she 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 the conduct was unlawful.
NRS Section 78.7502 also provides, in general, that a 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 procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that 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, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; provided, however, that indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
II-1
Any indemnification pursuant to the above provisions may be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made: (a) by the stockholders; (b) by the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding; (c) if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (d) if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion. The Company's articles of incorporation and bylaws comply with Nevada law as set forth above.
As permitted by Section 78.138 of the NRS, Article VII of the Company's articles of incorporation provides:
"To the full extent permitted by the ACT and any other applicable law currently or hereafter in effect, no director or officer of the Company will be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for or with respect to any breach of fiduciary duty or other act or omission as a director."
Pursuant to an employment agreement, entered into on November 2, 2022 and effective as of June 14, 2022, with Chia-Lin Simmons, the Company's Chief Executive Officer (the "Employment Agreement"), and which the Company has assumed as successor to its predecessor Delaware corporation, the Company has agreed to defend, indemnify, and hold Ms. Simmons harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, penalties or expenses arising from or in connection with the performance of Ms. Simmons' job duties thereunder to the fullest extent required by law. Pursuant to an agreement, effective July 15, 2021, entered into with FLG Partners, LLC, as amended in February 2022 (the "FLG Agreement"), of which Mark Archer, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, is a partner, the Company, as successor to its predecessor Delaware corporation, has agreed to indemnify Mr. Archer and FLG Partners, LLC in connection with Mr. Archer's services to the Company. The foregoing descriptions of the Employment Agreement and FLG Agreement are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Employment Agreement and FLG Agreement, which are attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on November 4, 2022 (with respect to the Employment Agreement), and Exhibits 10.15 and 10.16 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022 (with respect to the FLG Agreement).
The indemnification rights set forth above shall not be exclusive of any other right which an indemnified person may have or hereafter acquire under any bylaw provision, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such person.
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify such persons against all expenses and liabilities incurred or paid by such persons in connection with any proceeding arising from the fact that such persons are or were officers or directors of the Company, and to advance expenses as incurred by or on behalf of such persons in connection therewith.
In addition, in connection with the Company's reincorporation from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada effective as of June 1, 2023, the Company intends to continue to maintain general liability insurance policy that covers liabilities of its directors and officers arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their respective capacities as such directors or officers.
See "Item 17. Undertakings" for a description of the SEC's position regarding such indemnification provisions.
Item 16. Exhibits.
The list of exhibits in the Exhibit Index to this registration statement is incorporated herein by reference.

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 SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
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 the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) 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 Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this 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 such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to any purchaser:
i. Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424 (b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in this registration statement;
ii. Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; and
II-3
iii. Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, 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;
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) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
