Overview

Super League Enterprise, Inc. (Nasdaq: SLE), is a leading strategically-integrated publisher and creator of games and experiences across the world’s largest immersive digital platforms. From metaverse gaming powerhouses such as Roblox, Minecraft and Fortnite, to the most popular Web3 environments such as Sandbox and Decentraland, to bespoke worlds built using the most advanced 3D creation tools, Super League’s innovative solutions provide incomparable access to massive audiences who gather in immersive digital spaces to socialize, play, explore, collaborate, shop, learn and create. As a true end-to-end activation partner for dozens of global brands, Super League offers a complete range of development, distribution, monetization and optimization capabilities designed to engage users through dynamic, energized programs. As an originator of new experiences fueled by a network of top developers, a comprehensive set of proprietary creator tools and a future-forward team of creative professionals, Super League accelerates IP and audience success within the fastest growing sector of the media industry.

Our Strategy

We believe that virtual world platforms are where the next generation lives and are a launchpad of unlimited new interactive worlds and content. In a world of blended physical-to-digital lives and smarter, more immersive screens, consumer expectations are increasing for more customized and personalized digital experiences, changing the way consumers will socialize, play, create, collaborate, shop, learn and work. 

While our roots are in open gaming platforms where interactive worlds were first spawned, we believe our success is in the creation, growth, and monetization of digital experiences across the wider immersive web landscape. Super League’s vision is to build the most comprehensive immersive web publishing engine and be the driver of the next generation of digital platform businesses and experiences.

Built on a powerful foundation of unmatched capabilities, solutions and software platforms that have driven consistent success for innovative brand experiences, creator growth and monetization, and significant consumer engagement, our scalable, vertically-integrated engine offers:

Our Business

As an early mover creating engaging experiences inside of metaverse, or “open world,” game platforms since 2015, Super League has converted our deep understanding of young gamers into significant audience reach in virtual world gaming platforms. We believe we have successfully iterated our business model through these market insights, and our organic and inorganic growth to establish scale and ultimately drive our monetization strategies. Our strong and growing product-market fit currently reaches over 100 million monthly unique players in Roblox, Minecraft and Fortnite and generates over one billion monthly impressions. Our software supports the creation and operation of our owned and third-party metaverse gaming worlds and experiences, along with creator tools and analytics underpinned by a creator economy. These tools enable Super League to access these extended audiences with our innovative in-game and in-stream ad products, and allow our game designers and content creators to participate in our advertising economy. Our analytics suite provides Super League, brands and advertisers, and game developers data that informs campaign measurement and insights, along with enhanced game design. Beyond our primary advertising revenue stream, we have the opportunity to extend further downstream in the metaverse gaming worlds we operate and generate direct to consumer revenues. In addition, our platform, and our capability to produce compelling gaming-centric video and livestream broadcasts drives viewership to our own and our brand partner’s digital channels and generates content production and syndication revenues from third party partners.

Specifically, Super League’s digital experience and media products provide a wide range of solutions for brands and advertisers. From branded in-game experiences, through to custom content and media, Super League can provide end-to-end solutions for brands to acquire customers, deepen brand affinity and deliver campaign performance with innovative advertising inventory. As Super League has scaled in both metaverse player and viewing audience reach, we have experienced growth in both the average revenue size of advertiser programs, along with a strong percentage of repeat buyers, while upholding our premium cost per impressions (“CPM”) advertising rates and margins, further validating a new premium social marketing channel for advertisers to reach elusive Generation Z and Alpha gamers. Additionally, our capability and proprietary technology is now being applied to new virtual world platforms beyond our core offering and is proving to be an enterprise solution for our owned and branded digital experiences that are less temporal and campaign-centric, generating revenue opportunities that are more diversified, annual in nature and less impacted by traditional advertising seasonality.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in the sections of this prospectus entitled “Prospectus Summary” and “Risk Factors,” as well as in those sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”) entitled “Business,” “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” but are also contained elsewhere in this prospectus. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “ongoing,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “should,” “will,” or “would,” or the negative of these terms, or other comparable terminology intended to identify statements about the future. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for making each forward-looking statement contained in this prospectus, we caution you that these statements are based on a combination of facts and factors currently known by us and our expectations of the future, about which we cannot be certain. Forward-looking statements are subject to considerable risks and uncertainties, as well as other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including:

This list of factors that may affect future performance and the accuracy of forward-looking statements is illustrative, but not exhaustive. New risk factors and uncertainties not described here or elsewhere in this prospectus, including in the section entitled “Risk Factors,” may emerge from time to time. Moreover, because we operate in a competitive and rapidly changing environment, it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties, 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 any forward-looking statements we may make. The forward-looking statements are also subject to the risks and uncertainties specific to our Company, including but not limited to the fact that we have only a limited operating history as a public company. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this prospectus may not occur, and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

You should read this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated herein and those documents filed as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and achievements may be materially different from what we expect.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The Securities registered under this prospectus may be resold from time to time by the Selling Stockholders. Accordingly, we will not receive proceeds from any resale of the Securities in this offering. We will pay all of the fees and expenses incurred by us in connection with this registration. All selling and other expenses incurred by the Selling Stockholders will be paid by such stockholders, except for certain legal fees and expenses, which will be paid by us.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

This prospectus relates to the resale by the Selling Stockholders identified in the table below, or by the future transferees, pledgees, assignees, distributees, donees or successors-in-interest of or from any such stockholders, of the Securities. The Selling Stockholders may, from time to time, offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus any or all of the Securities, or they may sell none of the Securities. We currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the Selling Stockholders regarding the resale of any of the Securities.

Between November 30, 2023 and December 22, 2023, we entered into subscription agreements and exchange agreements with accredited investors relating to an offering and the sale of:

In connection with the Private Placement, we have agreed to file this registration statement covering the resale of 150% of the shares of Common Stock initially underlying the Series AAA Preferred and Series AAA-2 Preferred sold in the offering, as determined based upon the initial exercise price in each respective Certificate of Designations,  together with the Dividend Shares issuable thereon.

The Series AAA Preferred and Series AAA-2 Preferred contain limitations that prevent the holder thereof from acquiring shares upon conversion that would result in the number of shares beneficially owned by it and its affiliates exceeding 4.99% of all of the Common Stock outstanding at such time (or, at the written election of any holder of Series AAA Stock delivered to the Company pursuant to the terms of the applicable Certificate of Designations prior to the issuance of any shares of Series AAA Stock, 9.99%). The number of shares in the third column reflects this limitation.

On March 12, 2024, we issued the Piggyback Shares to the Note Holders pursuant to the Mutual Release. Pursuant to the Mutual Release Agreement, we agreed to file this registration statement covering the resale of the Piggyback Shares, as reflected in the column in the table below titled “Piggyback Shares.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the Securities held by the Selling Stockholders identified herein to permit the resale of these shares by the holders thereof from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities, if any. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of our Common Stock.

The Common Stock may be sold or distributed from time to time by the Selling Stockholders directly to one or more purchasers or through brokers, dealers, or underwriters who may act solely as agents at fixed prices, market prices prevailing at the time of sale, prices related to prevailing market prices, or privately negotiated prices. The resale of the Securities offered by this prospectus may be effected in one or more of the following methods:

The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption or exclusion from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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.

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 us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

We will pay certain fees and expenses we incur incident to the registration of the securities offered by this prospectus, including legal and accounting fees.

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).

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (our “Charter”) authorizes the issuance of up to 400,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Preferred Stock”).

Summary of Securities

The following description summarizes certain terms of our capital stock. Because this description is only a summary, it does not contain all the information that may be important to you. For a complete description of the matters set forth in this section you should refer to our Charter and Amended and Restated Bylaws (our “Bylaws”), which are included as exhibits to this prospectus, and to the applicable provisions of Delaware law.

Common Stock

Our Charter currently authorizes the issuance of up to 400,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As of April 17, 2024, there were 6,029,912 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding, which were held by approximately 274 stockholders of record. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Neither our Charter nor our Bylaws provide for cumulative voting rights.

Holders of our Common Stock have no preemptive, conversion or subscription rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of Common Stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of our Preferred Stock that we may designate and issue in the future.

Preferred Stock

Currently, there are eleven series of our preferred stock outstanding; Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A-3 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A-4 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A-5 Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock through the Series A-5 Convertible Preferred Stock is hereinafter collectively, the “Series A Preferred Stock”), Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock, Series AA-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series AA-3 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series AA-4 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series AA-5 Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock through the Series AA-5 Convertible Preferred Stock is hereinafter collectively, the “Series AA Preferred Stock”), Series AAA Convertible Preferred Stock and Series AAA-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series AAA Convertible Preferred Stock and Series AAA-2 Convertible Preferred Stock is hereinafter collectively, the “Series AAA Preferred Stock”).

Conversion and Rank

Each share of Series A Preferred is convertible at the option of the holder, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations and primary market limitations as set forth in the Series A Certificate of Designation, into such number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to the number of Series A Preferred to be converted, multiplied by the stated value of $1,000 (the “Stated Value”), divided by the conversion price in effect at the time of the conversion (the initial conversion price is $12.40, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and similar transactions).

Anti-Takeover Matters

Charter and Bylaw Provisions

The provisions of Delaware law, our Charter, and our Bylaws include a number of provisions that may have the effect of delaying, deferring, or discouraging another person from acquiring control of our company and discouraging takeover bids. These provisions may also have the effect of encouraging persons considering unsolicited tender offers or other unilateral takeover proposals to negotiate with our Board rather than pursue non-negotiated takeover attempts. These provisions include the items described below.

Board Composition and Filling Vacancies

Our Bylaws provide that any vacancy on our Board may only be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of our directors then in office, even if less than a quorum. Further, any directorship vacancy resulting from an increase in the size of our Board of Directors, may be filled by election of the Board of Directors, but only for a term continuing until the next election of directors by our stockholders.

No Cumulative Voting

The Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides that stockholders are not entitled to the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless certificate of incorporation of the Company in which they own stock provides otherwise. Neither our Charter nor our Bylaws provide that our stockholders shall be entitled to cumulative voting.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 prohibits persons deemed to be “interested stockholders” from engaging in a “business combination” with a publicly held Delaware corporation for three years following the date these persons become interested stockholders unless the business combination is, or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder was, approved in a prescribed manner or another prescribed exception applies. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. The existence of this provision may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the Board. A Delaware corporation may “opt out” of these provisions with an express provision in its original certificate of incorporation or an express provision in its certificate of incorporation or bylaws resulting from an amendment approved by at least a majority of the outstanding voting shares. We have not opted out of these provisions. As a result, mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts of us may be discouraged or prevented.

Choice of Forum

Our Bylaws provide that Delaware will be the exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty; any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to the DGCL, our Charter or our Bylaws; or any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable.

Because the applicability of the exclusive forum provision is limited to the extent permitted by law, we believe that the exclusive forum provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction or concurrent jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act. We note that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce the provision and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Although we believe this provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers.

The payment of dividends on our Common Stock will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our results of operations, capital requirements, financial condition, prospects, contractual arrangements, any limitations on payment of dividends present in our current and future debt agreements, and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.

Role of Board in Risk Oversight Process

Our Board has responsibility for the oversight of the Company’s risk management processes and, either as a whole or through its committees, regularly discusses with management our major risk exposures, their potential impact on our business, and the steps we take to manage them. The risk oversight process includes receiving regular reports from Board committees and members of senior management to enable our Board to understand our risk identification, risk management and risk mitigation strategies with respect to areas of potential material risk, including operations, finance, legal, regulatory, strategic and reputational risk. Cybersecurity risk is a key consideration in our operational risk management capabilities, and we continuously strive to implement best practices to mitigate risk. Given the nature of our operations and business, cybersecurity risk may manifest itself through various business activities and channels and is thus considered an enterprise-wide risk which is subject to control and monitoring at various levels of management throughout the business. Our Board will oversee and review reports on significant matters of corporate security, including cybersecurity. In addition, we maintain specific cyber insurance through our corporate insurance program, the adequacy of which is subject to review and oversight by our Board.

Our Audit Committee reviews information regarding liquidity and operations and oversees our management of financial risks. Periodically, our Audit Committee reviews our policies with respect to risk assessment, risk management, loss prevention and regulatory compliance. Oversight by the Audit Committee includes direct communication with our external auditors, and discussions with management regarding significant risk exposures and the actions management has taken to limit, monitor or control such exposures. Our Compensation Committee is responsible for assessing whether any of our compensation policies or programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking. Matters of significant strategic risk are considered by our Board as a whole.

Board Committees and Independence

Our Board has established the following three standing committees: Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee, and Strategic Committee. Our Board has adopted written charters for each of these committees, copies of which are available under the Corporate Governance section of our website at http://ir.superleague.com.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee is currently comprised of Jeff Gehl, who serves as the Audit Committee Chair, Michael Keller and Mark Jung, each of whom are independent directors as determined in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Audit Committee’s main function is to oversee our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of our financial statements. The Audit Committee met four times during the year ended December 31, 2023. Pursuant to its charter, the Audit Committee’s responsibilities include, among other things:

Our Board has affirmatively determined that all members of our Audit Committee meet the requirements for independence and financial literacy under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market. Our Board has determined that Mr. Gehl qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by applicable SEC rules and has the requisite financial sophistication as defined under the applicable Nasdaq Stock Market rules and regulations. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable standards of the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee is currently comprised of Mark Jung, who serves as the Compensation Committee Chair, Kristin Patrick and Michael Keller, each of whom are independent directors as determined in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Compensation Committee’s main function is to assist our Board in the discharge of its responsibilities related to the compensation of our executive officers. The Compensation Committee met five times during the year ended December 31, 2023. Pursuant to its charter, the Compensation Committee is primarily responsible for, among other things:

Nominating and Governance Committee

Our Nominating and Governance Committee is currently comprised of Michael Keller, who serves as the Nominating and Governance Committee Chair, Kristin Patrick and Jeff Gehl, each of whom are independent directors as determined in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Nominating and Governance Committee met four times during the year ended December 31, 2023. Pursuant to its charter, the Nominating and Governance Committee is primarily responsible for, among other things: 

Strategic Committee

Our Strategic Committee was formed on October 1, 2023 and is currently comprised of Mark Jung (Chairman), and Michael Keller and Jeff Gehl, each of which are members of the committee. The Strategic Committee met three times during the year ended December 31, 2023. Pursuant to its charter, the Strategic Committee is primarily responsible for reviewing and advising on strategies submitted by management relating to financing options, M&A opportunities, and strategic options, among other things.

Board Qualifications and Experience

Our Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing with the Board, on an annual basis, the appropriate characteristics, skills and experience required for the Board as a whole and its individual members. In evaluating the suitability of individual candidates (both new candidates and current members), the Nominating and Governance Committee, in recommending candidates for election, and the Board, in approving (and, in the case of vacancies, appointing) such candidates, will take into account many factors, including the following:

Currently, our Board evaluates each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, with the objective of assembling a group that can best maximize the success of the business and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its diversity of experience in these various areas.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

At no time have any of the members of our Compensation Committee been one of our officers or employees. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the board of directors or Compensation Committee of any other entity that has one or more executive officers on our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.

Our Board’s Leadership Structure

Our Board has discretion to determine whether to separate or combine the roles of Chair and Chief Executive Officer. Ms. Hand has served in both roles since 2015, and our Board continues to believe that her combined role is most advantageous to the Company and its stockholders. Ms. Hand possesses in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities and risks facing us, as well as our business and our industry. Ms. Hand is best positioned to fulfill the Chair’s responsibility to develop meeting agendas that focus the Board’s time and attention on critical matters and to facilitate constructive dialogue among Board members on strategic issues.

In addition to Ms. Hand’s leadership, the Board maintains effective independent oversight through a number of governance practices, including open and direct communication with management, input on meeting agendas, and regular executive sessions.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to our employees, officers and directors. We provide our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics under the Corporate Governance section of our website at http://ir.superleague.com.  We intend to disclose any future amendments to certain provisions of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, or waivers of these provisions, on our website or in our filings with the SEC under the Exchange Act.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification

Our Charter and Bylaws provide the indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”). In addition, the Charter provides that our directors shall not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director and that if the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of our directors shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

As permitted by the DGCL, we have entered into or plan to enter into separate indemnification agreements with each of our directors and certain of our officers that require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities which may arise by reason of their status as directors, officers or certain other employees. We have obtained and expect to maintain insurance policies under which our directors and officers are insured, within the limits and subject to the limitations of those policies, against certain expenses in connection with the defense of, and certain liabilities that might be imposed as a result of, actions, suits or proceedings to which they are parties by reason of being or having been directors or officers. The coverage provided by these policies may apply whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of the DGCL.

We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as our officers and directors. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving our directors or officers for whom indemnification is required or permitted, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification.

Stockholder Communications

If you wish to communicate with the Board of Directors, you may send your communication in writing to:

Super League Enterprise, Inc.

2912 Colorado Avenue, Suite #203

Santa Monica, California 90404

Attn: Corporate Secretary

You must include your name and address in the written communication and indicate whether you are a stockholder of the Company. Our Corporate Secretary will review any communication received from a stockholder, and all material and appropriate communications from stockholders will be forwarded to the appropriate director or directors or committee of the Board of Directors based on the subject matter.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliances

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers, directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors, and greater-than-ten-percent shareholders are also required by the SEC to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.

Based solely on a review of copies of such reports furnished to our Company and representation that no other reports were required during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, we believe that all persons subject to the reporting requirements pursuant to Section 16(a) filed the required reports on a timely basis with the SEC.

Director Independence

Our Board has determined that the following four of our six directors qualify as independent directors, as determined in accordance with the Listing Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq Stock Market: Messrs. Gehl, Keller and Jung, and Ms. Patrick. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 includes a series of objective tests, including that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, as required by Nasdaq Stock Market listing rules, our Board has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships exist, which, in the opinion of our Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In making these determinations, our Board reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.

Ms. Hand, our Chief Executive Officer and Chair, is a first cousin of Mr. Gehl, a member of our Board. There are no other family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Summary Compensation Table

We are an emerging growth company for purposes of the SEC’s executive compensation disclosure rules. In accordance with such rules, we are required to provide a Summary Compensation Table and an Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End Table, as well as limited narrative disclosures regarding executive compensation for our last two completed fiscal years. Further, our reporting obligations extend only to our “named executive officers,” who are those individuals serving as our principal executive officer and our two other most highly compensated executive officers who were serving as executive officers at December 31, 2023, the end of the last completed fiscal year (the “Named Executive Officers”).

We have identified Ann Hand, Matt Edelman, and David Steigelfest, former Chief Platform Officer, Corporate Secretary and member of the Board as our Named Executive Officers for the year ended December 31, 2023. Our Named Executive Officers for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 are subject to change, as we may hire or appoint new executive officers.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, compensation for our Named Executive Officers was as follows:

Elements of Compensation

Our executive compensation program consisted of the following components of compensation during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

Base Salary

Each of our executive officers receives a base salary for the expertise, skills, knowledge and experience he or she offers to our management team. The base salary of each of our executive officers is re-evaluated annually, and may be adjusted to reflect:

Executive Bonus

The Compensation Committee assesses the level of the executive officer’s achievement of meeting individual goals, as well as that executive officer’s contribution towards our business objectives. Bonus amounts depend on the level of achievement of individual performance goals, with a target bonus generally set as a percentage of base salary and based on the achievement of pre-determined milestones.  For the year ended December 31, 2023, each of our Named Executive Officers was awarded a bonus by the Compensation Committee in the amount set forth in the Summary Compensation Table above.

Equity Incentive Awards

We believe that to attract and retain management, key employees and non-management directors, the compensation paid to these persons should include, in addition to base salary, annual equity incentives. Our Compensation Committee determines the amount and terms of equity-based compensation granted to each individual. In determining whether to grant certain equity awards to our executive officers, the Compensation Committee assesses the level of the executive officer’s achievement of meeting individual goals, as well as the executive officer’s contribution towards goals of the Company. All equity awards issued to our Named Executive Officers during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were issued under our 2014 Plan.

Stock Option and Incentive Plan

Amended and Restated 2014 Stock Option and Incentive Plan

The Super League 2014 Stock Option and Incentive Plan was approved by the Board of Directors and the stockholders of Super League in October 2014. The 2014 Plan was subsequently amended in May 2015, May 2016, July 2017, October 2018, May 2020, April 2021, June 2022 and September 2023. The Plan allows grants of stock options, stock awards and performance shares with respect to Common Stock of the Company to eligible individuals, which generally includes directors, officers, employees, advisors and consultants. The Plan provides for both the direct award and sale of shares of Common Stock and for the grant of options to purchase shares of Common Stock. Options granted under the Plan include non-statutory options as well as incentive options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Board of Directors administers the Plan and determines which eligible individuals are to receive option grants or stock issuances under the Plan, the times when the grants or issuances are to be made, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each grant or issuance, the status of any granted option as either an incentive stock option or a non-statutory stock option under the federal tax laws, the vesting schedule to be in effect for the option grant or stock issuance and the maximum term for which any granted option is to remain outstanding.. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the 2014 Plan is currently 15.0 million shares, subject to adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or other similar changes in our Common Stock or our capital structure.

Related Party Transaction Policy

Our Board recognizes the fact that transactions with related persons present a heightened risk of conflicts of interests and/or improper valuation (or the perception thereof). Accordingly, our Board has adopted a written policy addressing the approval of transactions with related persons, in conformity with the requirements for issuers having publicly held common stock listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Pursuant to our Related Persons Transactions Policy (the “Policy”), any related-person transaction, and any material amendment or modification of a related-person transaction, is required to be reviewed and approved or ratified by the Board’s Audit Committee, which shall be composed solely of independent directors who are disinterested, or in the event that a member of the Audit Committee is a Related Person, as defined below, then by the disinterested members of the Audit Committee; provided, however, that in the event that management determines that it is impractical or undesirable to delay the consummation of a related person transaction until a meeting of the Audit Committee, then the Chair of the Audit Committee may approve such transaction in accordance with this policy; such approval must be reported to the Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. In determining whether to approve or ratify any related person transaction, the Audit Committee must consider all of the relevant facts and circumstances and shall approve only those transactions that are deemed to be in the best interests of the Company.

Pursuant to our Policy and SEC rules, a “related person transaction” includes any transaction, arrangement or relationship which: (i) the Company is a participant; (ii) the amount involved exceeds $120,000; and (iii) an executive officer, director or director nominee, or any person who is known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock, or any person who is an immediate family member of an executive officer, director or director nominee or beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest (each a “Related Person”).
