Up to 4,898,345 Shares of Common Stock Issuable Upon Exercise of Warrants

SOBR SAFE, INC.
This prospectus relates to the resale from time to time by the selling securityholders named herein of up to 4,898,345 shares of common stock, $0.00001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), which consists of up to 4,898,345 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants (the “Warrants”) issued pursuant to that certain Inducement Offer to Exercise Common Stock Purchase Warrants dated July 15, 2026, by and between us and the selling securityholders (the “Inducement Agreement”), which includes shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants issued to H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC for its designees and certain of their assignees.
We will not receive any cash proceeds from any sale of the shares of our Common Stock by the selling securityholders. We will, however, receive the net proceeds of any Warrants exercised for cash.
We are registering the resale of shares of our Common Stock pursuant to the selling securityholders’ registration rights under the Inducement Agreement and to permit the selling securityholders to sell such shares without restriction in the open market. However, the registration of the potential resale shares of our Common Stock hereunder does not necessarily mean that the selling securityholders will sell the shares. The selling securityholders or their respective transferees, pledgees, assignees, donees or other successors-in-interest may, but are not required to, sell the shares of our Common Stock offered by this prospectus from time to time in a number of different ways and at varying prices as determined by the prevailing market price for shares or in negotiated transactions. See “Plan of Distribution” on page __ for a description of how the selling securityholders may dispose of the shares covered by this prospectus.
We will pay all expenses incident to the registration of the potential resale of the 4,898,345 shares of our Common Stock offered herein (other than for any discounts or commissions to any underwriter or broker attributable to the sale of shares of our Common Stock or any fees or expenses incurred by a holder of shares of our Common Stock that, according to the written instructions of any regulatory authority, we are not permitted to pay).
Our Common Stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SOBR”. On September 8, 2026, the last quoted sale price for our Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq was $0.4576 per share.
Investing in our Common Stock involves risks. SOBR Safe, Inc., currently has no operations, limited revenue, and limited assets, is in unsound financial condition, and you should not invest unless you can afford to lose your entire investment. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page __. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

This includes, without limitation, statements regarding the financial position and the plans and objectives of management for our future operations.

Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about our business and the industry in which we operate, and management’s beliefs and assumptions are not guarantees of future performance or development and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are in some cases beyond our control, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this prospectus to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as required by law.
You should read this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, any free writing prospectus and the documents that we reference in this prospectus and have filed with the SEC, as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.

You should read the following summary together with the more detailed information and the financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Prospectus.
Corporate Overview
On September 19, 2011, we, as Imagine Media, Ltd., a Delaware corporation, acquired approximately 52% of the outstanding shares of TransBiotec, Inc. (“TBT”), a California corporation, from TBT’s directors in exchange for 124,439 shares of our common stock. In January 2012, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) amended our Certificate of Incorporation, changing our name from Imagine Media, Ltd. to TransBiotec, Inc., and we acquired approximately 45% of the remaining outstanding shares of TBT in exchange for 109,979 shares of our common stock. With the acquisitions in September 2011 and January 2012 of TBT common stock, we own approximately 99% of the outstanding shares of TBT. As a result of the acquisitions, TBT’s business is our business, and, unless otherwise indicated, any references to “we” or “us” include the business and operations of TBT.
On March 9, 2020, our Board of Directors approved the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation and stockholders holding 52% of our then outstanding voting stock approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation. The Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation was for the purpose of, among other things, changing our name from “TransBiotec, Inc.” to “SOBR Safe, Inc.” The Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation became effective with the State of Delaware on April 24, 2020.
Pursuant to approval of an application with the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) to uplist our common stock to their exchange under the ticker symbol “SOBR,” our common stock began trading and quoted on the Nasdaq on May 16, 2022. Prior to this uplist to the Nasdaq exchange, our common stock was quoted on the “OTCQB” tier of the OTC Markets under the ticker symbol “SOBR.”
Our corporate offices are located at 6300 E. Hampden Ave., Suite C-308, Denver, Colorado 80222, telephone number (844) 762-7723.
Business Outlook and Challenges
We hold non-invasive technologies which quickly and discretely track and identify the presence of alcohol in individuals. Our mission is to deliver reliable, near real-time alcohol tracking solutions that support informed decision-making, promote accountability, and provide measurable value for organizations and individuals. Our non-invasive technologies are integrated within a scalable and patent-pending software platform, SOBRsafe, producing statistical, measurable business and user data. We operate as a single segment designed to enable customers to purchase products directly through channel partners, sales agents or through our enterprise and consumer digital marketing channels. To that end, our SOBRsafeTM software solution, along with our patent-pending integrated hardware devices, SOBRcheckTM and SOBRsure®, can be used to provide non-invasive alcohol tracking and identity verification, and combined to create a robust solution that has current and potential applications in:
| ➢ | Behavioral health and wellness |
| ➢ | Licensing and integration |
| ➢ | Commercial environments, including but not limited to oil and gas, fleet management, telematics, ride share programs, and general workplace safety |
| ➢ | Individual consumer use, including co-parenting trust and personal accountability |
The SOBRcheck device is a patent-pending, touch-based identity verification and alcohol tracking solution. Users place two fingers on the device sensors, one compares biometric data points from the finger to confirm identity, while the other senses alcohol contained in perspiration emitted through the pores of the fingertip. The touch-based device connects to the SOBRsafe software solution to collect, present and communicate data collected to subscribed parties.
The SOBRsure device is a patent-pending, fitness-style wearable band with a personal alcohol awareness tracking solution intended for discrete, low-profile and voluntary use providing qualified, real-time alcohol tracking and GPS tracking. The wearable band is a device which includes a contained sensor which senses alcohol contained in perspiration released through the pores of the skin. The wearable band connects to a mobile device via Bluetooth communication where the SOBRsafe mobile application collects and transmits data to the SOBRsafe software solution. The SOBRsure device provides passive, qualified, real-time alcohol insights to administrators, parents and more, and also includes device removal and service interruption notifications.
The SOBRsafe technology can also be deployed across numerous additional devices for various uses and are currently exploring possible integrations with existing systems and licensing by third parties.
We believe the device and software portfolio approach could yield a substantial repository of user data – a potentially monetizable asset for statistical analytics. The opportunity to collect data points over time could enable the development of business and insurance liability benchmarking, through artificial intelligence (“AI”), powerful guidance for perpetual safety improvement and associated economic cost savings capture. By demonstrating substance-free environments, organizations could deliver a data-driven argument for a reduction in annual insurance premiums. We could potentially partner with insurance providers to mandate use of the SOBRsafe devices and/or technology.

During fiscal 2025 and as in prior years, design, manufacturing, quality testing and distribution for all SOBRsafe integrated devices take place in the United States.
The brand, products and software services have gained awareness and recognition through robust marketing platforms and campaigns, trade shows, media exposure, social media and product demonstrations.
Since inception we have generated significant losses from operations and anticipate that we will continue to generate significant losses for the foreseeable future. Our success is dependent on our ability to access additional capital. Additional capital will be required under the following circumstances: 1) to offset negative cash flows to regenerate operations, 2) to accelerate customer acquisition, thereby increasing capital outlay, 3) for advanced purchasing of materials to repopulate inventories, 4) for the continued development of current technologies and acquisition of new technology, and 5) for potential merger or acquisition of key assets.
On April 24, 2026, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization with Clean World Ventures, Inc. (“CWV”) and SOBR Safe Merger Sub Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, pursuant to which the subsidiary will merge with and into CWV, with CWV surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). As disclosed on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 10, 2026, the Company discontinued the production of its legacy products at the end of July 2026 to focus capital resources on completing the Merger.
Marketing
We have developed a marketing plan that includes:
|
| ➢ | consumer and enterprise e-commerce web-solutions |
|
| ➢ | search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM) |
|
| ➢ | digital and social media campaigns |
|
| ➢ | online paid advertising placements |
|
| ➢ | brand ambassadors, affiliate partners and social media influencers, |
|
| ➢ | public relations initiatives and trade shows |
|
| ➢ | direct business to business target campaigns, |
|
| ➢ | alcohol detection/testing channel partners, |
|
| ➢ | territorial sales agents, |
|
| ➢ | advocacy group alignment, |
|
| ➢ | ongoing brand development and |
|
| ➢ | continuous pursuit of cutting-edge technologies for future integration. |
As of June 30, 2026, the sales and marketing efforts, serving business customers with SOBRsafe™ technology solutions, including the SOBRcheck™ and SOBRsure™ devices has been discontinued.
Government Regulation
As we utilize a unique “Pass/Fail” methodology that simply alerts to the presence of alcohol (as opposed to measuring a discrete BrAC) - information that may be used at the discretion of the employer (or counselor, parent, etc.) - we do not believe the functionality of our devices or intended use will be subject to any government regulation in the targeted alcohol detection markets for the marketing, branding and products including Behavioral Health, Justice, Alcohol Rehabilitation, Consumer, Facility & Fleet, or Young Driver markets. In the Judicial market, regulations vary significantly by state; some states only allow for the use of certain methodologies like breath or urine, while others do not specify and there exists no regulated barrier to entry for a transdermal solution.

Human Capital Resources and Employees
As of September 9, 2026, there are a total of 2 full-time employees, being Company officers Chairman/Chief Executive Officer/Secretary, David Gandini, and Chief Financial Officer/Treasurer, Christopher Whitaker.
Oversight and Management
Our executive officers are tasked with leading our organization in managing employment-related matters, including recruiting and hiring, onboarding and training, compensation planning and talent management and development. We are committed to providing team members with the training and resources necessary to continually strengthen their skills. Our executive team is responsible for periodically reviewing development and training programs, diversity efforts, business ethics and compliance training, team member benefit programs and initiatives, including healthcare and other benefits, as well as our management development and succession planning practices. Management periodically reports to the Board and the Compensation Committee regarding our human capital measures and results that guide how we attract, compensate, retain and develop a workforce to enable our business strategies.
Reverse Stock Split
On March 30, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as previously amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware for the purpose of effecting a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock.
On April 4, 2025, the Certificate of Amendment became effective with the State of Delaware and began trading on a post-split basis as of market open on April 4, 2025. As a result of the reverse stock split, every 10 shares of the outstanding Common Stock prior to the effect of the Certificate of Amendment was combined and reclassified into one share of the Common Stock.
The reverse stock split did not have any impact on the number of authorized shares of Common Stock which remains at 100,000,000 shares.
Recent Developments
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the following developments occurred:
|
| ➢ | Conducted a pricing analysis across priority customer segments with the highest purchase propensity to optimize hardware and software pricing strategy and support margin expansion. |
| ➢ | Refined core marketing campaigns based on targeted market research insights to improve customer acquisition efficiency and conversion within high-intent segments. | |
| ➢ | Updated marketing and sales materials to align with applicable U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") general wellness guidance and conducted compliance training for employees and external partners, reducing regulatory risk and supporting scalable commercialization. | |
|
| ➢ | In connection with the deficiency letter issued by Nasdaq on March 19, 2026 and the request filed by the Company for a hearing with the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, on April 28, 2026, the Company presented its plan to regain compliance with the minimum $1.00 per share requirement (the “Bid Price Requirement”) and requested the continued listing of its securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market pending such compliance. |
| ➢ | On April 24, 2026, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization with Clean World Ventures, Inc. ("CWV") and SOBR Safe Merger Sub Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, pursuant to which the subsidiary will merge with and into CWV, with CWV surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The transaction is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Upon completion of the merger, CWV equity holders will receive shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for their CWV shares, and CWV equity awards will be converted into comparable Company awards; the Company expects to issue approximately 589,388,108 shares to CWV equity holders, as compared to 2,876,562 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of June 8, 2026. On a pro forma basis, CWV stockholders are expected to own approximately 98% of the combined company, with existing Company stockholders owning approximately 2%. For accounting purposes, the transaction is expected to be treated as an in-substance reverse recapitalization, with CWV as the accounting acquirer. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by the stockholders of both companies, Nasdaq’s confirmation that the combined company will satisfy its initial listing requirements, the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4, and completion of a CWV Pre-Closing Financing of approximately $22.0 million at $2.42 per share. The merger has been approved by the board of directors of both companies. Upon closing, CWV is expected to designate the board of directors and management of the combined company. The Merger Agreement will terminate if the merger is not completed on or before October 15, 2026. | |
|
| ➢ | On May 7, 2026, in connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company committed to and commenced a restructuring plan to reduce operating costs and better align its workforce with its business following the CWV transaction. Under the plan, the Company plans to reduce its workforce by 11 employees (approximately 70%), which is expected to decrease annual operating costs by approximately $1.6 million. The Company estimated it would incur aggregate restructuring charges of approximately $105,000, primarily related to severance and other employee-related costs and contract termination costs, recorded and paid primarily during the second quarter of 2026. |
|
| ➢ | On May 21, 2026, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel granting the Company’s request for continued listing until September 15, 2026, in order to allow the Company to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. The Company’s request for continued listing of its securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market until September 15, 2026 was granted subject to the condition that on or before September 15, 2026, the Company shall complete the proposed business combination with CWV, and demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq’s Initial Listing Rules. |
|
| ➢ | On June 9, 2026, the Company filed a registration statement with the SEC on Form S-4 in connection with the Merger. |

| Table of Contents |
Subsequent to the six-months ended June 30, 2026, the following developments occurred:
|
| ➢ | On July 10, 2026, the Board of Directors approved and committed to a plan to discontinue the Company’s revenue-generating alcohol monitoring and detection hardware and software operations, effective July 31, 2026. The plan includes the cessation of manufacturing and sales of the Company’s SOBRcheck and SOBRsure devices, termination of related SOBRsafe software support agreements, further workforce reductions (following a reduction of three employees in June 2026), and termination of the Company’s corporate office lease. The Company estimates these actions will reduce annual operating expenses by approximately $1.2 million, against estimated aggregate exit costs of approximately $50,000, consisting primarily of severance and other employee-related costs, agreement termination costs, and corporate office decommissioning costs. The charges and costs associated with this plan are subject to a number of assumptions, and actual results may differ materially. This action is intended to preserve cash to support completion of the Company’s proposed business combination with CWV. | |||

| ➢ | On July 15, 2026, the Company entered into a warrant inducement agreement with certain holders of existing warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,360,648 shares of common stock (originally issued under the Securities Purchase Agreement dated December 24, 2025, consisting of Series C and Series D Warrants, each with an exercise price of $1.30 per share). The holders agreed to exercise these warrants for cash in exchange for the Company’s issuance of new Series E Warrants (to purchase up to 2,580,648 shares) and Series F Warrants (to purchase up to 2,140,648 shares), each with an exercise price of $1.30 per share. The transaction closed on July 16, 2026, generating gross proceeds of approximately $3.1 million before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses payable to the exclusive placement agent. The Company intends to use the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company engaged H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC to act as its exclusive placement agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Inducement Agreement and paid the placement agent a cash fee of 7.5% of the gross proceeds, a 1.0% management fee, accountable expenses of $50,000, non-accountable expenses of $35,000, and a clearing fee of $15,950. The Company also issued placement agent warrants to purchase up to 177,049 shares of common stock, which have the same terms as the Series E Warrants except the placement agent warrants have an exercise price equal to $1.625 per share, and to file a registration statement covering resale of the shares underlying the new warrants within 30 days of the agreement date. Additionally, upon exercise for cash of any Series E Warrants and Series F Warrants, the Company has agreed in certain circumstances to pay the placement agent a cash fee of 7.5% of the aggregate gross exercise price paid in cash with respect the exercise of such warrants, a management fee of 1.0% of the aggregate gross exercise price paid in cash with respect to such warrants and to issue additional placement agent warrants representing 7.5% of the shares of Common Stock underlying such warrants. | |||
|
| ➢ | On August 21, 2026, the Company received an additional staff determination letter (the “Additional Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq notifying the Company that the Company’s stockholders’ equity reported on its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2026, fell below the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of $2,500,000 for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Equity Requirement”). The Additional Letter also noted that the Company does not meet the alternatives of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations. The Equity Requirement notification, coupled with the prior notification regarding the Company’s failure to maintain the Bid Price Requirement, creates substantial concern regarding the Company’s ability to maintain the listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Currently, the Company’s common stock remains listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “SOBR.” The Equity Requirement notification does not affect the Company’s reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission. See Risk Factors beginning on page 12 for additional information. | |||
|
| ➢ | On August 21, 2026, Mr. Ford Fay notified the Board of his resignation from the Board effective immediately. His decision to resign from the Board was not related to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices. | |||

Any investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the following information, together with the other information contained in this Prospectus and in the “Risk Factors” section of the 2025 Form 10-K, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, each of which has been filed with the SEC and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus, before you decide to buy our Common Stock. We face risks in developing devices based on our SOBRsafe™ platform, as well in marketing and selling such devices. If we are not successful in developing, marketing, and/or selling devices based on our SOBRsafe™ platform we will not be successful in generating revenue. The following risks and risk factors incorporated by reference are material risks that we face. If any of the events or developments discussed below or in our documents incorporated by reference occur, our business, our ability to achieve revenues, our operating results and our financial condition could be seriously harmed. In such an event, the fair value of our Common Stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our operations.
Risks Related to the Company
We have fallen out of compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement, and we may be limited in our ability to regain compliance. which could have a material adverse effect on us and our stockholders.
We may not be able to maintain our listing on Nasdaq, which could have a material adverse effect on us and our stockholders. The standards for continued listing on Nasdaq include, among other things, that the minimum bid price for the listed securities may not fall below $1.00 for a period in excess of 30 consecutive business days and stockholders’ equity maintain a minimum value of at least $2,500,000.
During the months of October 2023 and November 2023, our Common Stock traded at levels below $1.00 per share in excess of the 30-business day requirement. On November 15, 2023, we received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq notifying us that, for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price of our Common Stock remained below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on Nasdaq (the “Bid Price Requirement”). The Company was provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until May 13, 2024, (the “Compliance Period”) to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement.
On April 8, 2024, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Staff notifying the Company that, based upon the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2023, the Company is not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires companies listed on Nasdaq to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity for continued listing (the “Stockholders’ Equity Rule”). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(d)(2), the failure to comply with the Stockholders’ Equity Rule became an additional and separate basis for delisting.
On May 15, 2024, the Company received a staff determination letter (the “Determination Letter”) from the Staff notifying the Company that it had not regained compliance with the Bid Price Requirement by May 13, 2024, and was not eligible for a second 180-day period due to the Company’s failure to comply with the minimum stockholders’ equity initial listing requirement for Nasdaq. The Company subsequently requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) which automatically stayed any suspension or delisting action for the Company’s securities pending the Panel hearing decision.
A hearing on this matter was held on July 2, 2024.
On August 5, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Panel stating that the Panel has determined to grant the request of the Company to continue its listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market subject to certain conditions enumerated therein. The Panel has determined to grant the Company’s request for an exception until October 23, 2024, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement and Stockholders’ Equity Rule.
On October 4, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Staff notifying that the Company does not currently meet the minimum 500,000 publicly held shares requirement pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(4) (the “Minimum Float Requirement”). As a result of the 1-for-110 reverse stock split of the Common Stock on October 2, 2024, the aggregate number of outstanding Common Stock was reduced from 34,764,593 shares on a pre-reverse-split basis to a total of 316,042 shares outstanding on a post-reverse split basis, with 285,611 of such shares currently qualifying as publicly held shares for purposes of the Minimum Float Requirement. The Staff has given us until October 11, 2024, to provide the Panel with its views with respect to this additional deficiency.
| 12 |
| Table of Contents |
On October 9, 2024, the Company closed the Private Placement for gross proceeds of $8.2 million. The Company expects to regain compliance with the Minimum Float Requirement through the Private Placement.
As of October 31, 2025, the Company successfully exited the one-year monitoring period by the Nasdaq Listing Qualification staff which expired on October 30, 2025. Thus, the Company is no longer subject to limitations surrounding the granting of addition time periods to cure and regain compliance with applicable Nasdaq listing requirements should the Company fall out of compliance in the future.
On March 19, 2026, the Company received a deficiency letter (the “Deficiency Letter”) from the Staff notifying the Company that, for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price of its common stock remained below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Bid Price Requirement.
In addition, the Deficiency Letter noted that the Company effected a 1-for-110 reverse stock split on October 2, 2024, and a 1-for-10 reverse stock split on April 4, 2025, making the cumulative reverse stock split ratio 1-for-1100 (the “Reverse Splits”) over the last two years. As a result of the Reverse Splits, SOBR is not eligible for the 180-day compliance period set forth in Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) because the Reverse Splits have a cumulative ratio of over 1-for-250.
The Company timely appealed the Staff’s determination and on April 28, 2026, the Company and its legal counsel attended a hearing before the Panel where it presented a plan to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement, and if necessary, effect a reverse stock split.
The hearing request automatically stayed any suspension or delisting action pending the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Panel following the hearing. On May 21, 2026, the Panel granted the Company’s request for continued listing on Nasdaq, subject to completion of the Merger and demonstration of compliance with Nasdaq’s initial Listing Rules on or before September 15, 2026. The Panel noted that September 15, 2026 represents the full extent of the Panel’s discretion to grant continued listing while the Company is non-compliant.
As of the date hereof, the Company has not yet regained compliance with the Bid Price Requirement, but such compliance is expected to occur following closing of the Merger if the Merger closes prior to September 15, 2026. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement or otherwise maintain compliance with any of the other listing requirements. If the Merger is not closed by September 15, 2026 and the Company is unable to demonstrate compliance with the Listing Rules, the Company’s stock will be delisted from Nasdaq.
On August 21, 2026, the Company received an additional Staff determination letter (the “Additional Letter”) notifying the Company that the Company’s stockholders’ equity reported on its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 as filed with the SEC on August 14, 2026, fell below the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of $2,500,000 for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Equity Requirement”). The Additional Letter also noted that the Company does not meet the alternatives of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations.
The Additional Letter noted that the Equity Requirement deficiency was an additional basis for delisting the Company’s Securities from Nasdaq. The Equity Requirement notification, coupled with the prior notification regarding the Company’s failure to maintain the Bid Price Requirement, creates substantial concern regarding the Company’s ability to maintain the listing of its common stock on Nasdaq. Currently, the Company’s common stock remains listed on Nasdaq and will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “SOBR.” The Equity Requirement notification does not affect the Company’s reporting requirements with the SEC.
The Additional Letter provides the Company with the ability to present its views with respect to the Equity Requirement deficiency to the Hearing Panel by August 28, 2026. Given the concerns surrounding the Company’s ability to maintain the listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, management and the Board of Directors of the Company are considering courses of action with respect to the Equity Requirement deficiency.
Upon a delisting from Nasdaq, if the Company’s common stock is not then eligible for listing on another exchange, trading of the shares could be conducted in the over-the- counter market or on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the OTC Markets. The delisting of our Common Stock from Nasdaq could negatively impact us by (i) reducing the liquidity and market price of our Common Stock; (ii) reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our Common Stock, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; (iii) impacting our ability to use a registration statement to offer and sell freely tradable securities, thereby preventing or limiting us from accessing the public capital markets; and (iv) impairing our ability to provide equity incentives to our employees. In addition, it is likely that there would be decreases in institutional and other investor demand for the shares, coverage by securities analysts, market making activity and information available concerning trading prices and volume; and fewer broker dealers willing to execute trades in the Combined Company common stock. The occurrence of any of these events could result in a further decline in the market price of the Company’s common stock and could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
If our Common Stock is delisted from Nasdaq and become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.
The SEC has adopted regulations which define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as therein defined) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock by a retail customer, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about commissions payable to both the broker/dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. If, following this offering, the market price for shares of our Common Stock falls below $5.00, and we do not satisfy any of the exceptions to the SEC’s definition of penny stock, our Common Stock will be classified as a penny stock. If such should occur, as a result of the penny stock restrictions, brokers or potential investors may be reluctant to trade in our securities, which may result in less liquidity for our securities.

Risks Related to this Offering
The Selling Securityholders may sell their shares of Common Stock in the open market, which may cause our stock price to decline.
The Selling Securityholders may sell their shares of Common Stock being registered in this offering in the public market. That means that up to 4,898,345 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants may be sold in the public market if the Selling Securityholders exercise all of the Warrants. Such sales will likely cause our stock price to decline.
Sale of our Common Stock by the Selling Securityholders could encourage short sales by third parties, which could contribute to the further decline of our stock price.
The significant downward pressure on the price of our Common Stock caused by the sale of material amounts of Common Stock could encourage short sales by third parties. Such an event could place further downward pressure on the price of our Common Stock.
This Prospectus relates to shares of our Common Stock owned by the Selling Securityholders and the shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the Selling Securityholders due to the exercise of their Warrants. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock in this offering. We have agreed to pay all costs, expenses, and fees relating to the registration of the securities covered by this prospectus. The Selling Securityholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to their sale of shares of our Common Stock. We may receive proceeds from any cash exercise of the Warrants to the extent they are not exercised on a cashless basis. See the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” of this prospectus for additional information. The prices at which the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus may actually be sold will be determined by the prevailing public market price for shares of our Common Stock, by negotiations between the Selling Securityholders and buyers of our Common Stock in private transactions or as otherwise described in “Plan of Distribution.”

The shares of our Common Stock being offered by the selling securityholders 4,898,345 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants. For additional information regarding the issuance of the shares of Common Stock, see “Prospectus Summary” above. We are registering the resale of the Common Stock and shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants in order to permit the selling securityholders to offer the shares of our Common Stock for resale from time to time. Except as set forth in this prospectus and for the ownership of the Common Stock and the Warrants, the selling securityholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.
The table below lists the Selling Securityholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock by each of the Selling Securityholders.
The second column lists the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each Selling Securityholder, based on its ownership of the shares of Common Stock and warrants, as of September 8, 2026, assuming exercise of the Warrants held by the Selling Securityholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises.
The third column lists the shares of Common Stock being offered by this prospectus by the Selling Securityholders. This prospectus generally covers the resale of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock issued to the Selling Securityholders in the “Warrant Inducement” described above and (ii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the related warrants, determined as if the outstanding warrants were exercised in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC, each as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination and all subject to adjustment as provided in the registration rights agreement, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the warrants.
The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the Common Stock offered by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus.
Under the terms of the Warrants, a Selling Securityholder may not exercise the Warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such Selling Securityholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock which would exceed 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable, of our then outstanding Common Stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants that have not been exercised. The number of Common Stock in the second column does not reflect this limitation. The Selling Securityholders may sell all, some or none of their Common Stock in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Each Selling Securityholder of the securities and any of their respective transferees, pledgees, assignees, donees 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 Securityholder 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 Securityholders 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 Securityholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption 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 Securityholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Securityholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.
In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Securityholders 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 Securityholders 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 Securityholders 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).
The Selling Securityholders 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 Securityholder 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 Securityholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

The following summary describes our common stock and the material provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, our bylaws, and of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). Because the following is only a summary, it does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. For a complete description, you should refer to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws. We encourage you to read those documents and the DGCL carefully.
Authorized Capital Shares
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and 25,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of which 3,000,000 shares are designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, 2,700,000 shares are designated as Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, and 3,000,000 shares are designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
As of September 9, 2026, the Company had 5,387,227 shares of common stock issued and 5,387,210 shares of common stock outstanding, and no shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, or Series B Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
Common Stock
The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. The holders of our Common Stock do not have any cumulative voting rights. Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably any dividends declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, subject to any preferential dividend rights of any outstanding preferred stock. We have not paid any dividends on our Common Stock and do not contemplate doing so in the foreseeable future. Our Common Stock has no preemptive rights, conversion rights or other subscription rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions.
In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of our Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of all debts and other liabilities and any liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock. Each outstanding share of Common Stock is duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
As reported on the Form 8-K we filed with the SEC on April 4, 2025, as approved by our stockholders and board of directors on March 31, 2025, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, for the purpose of effecting a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of our Common Stock, which amendment became effective as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern time on April 4, 2025.
Preferred Stock
Our board is authorized by our charter to establish classes or series of preferred stock and fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such class or series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof without any further vote or action by our stockholders. Any shares of preferred stock so issued could have priority over our Common Stock with respect to dividend or liquidation rights. Any future issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our control without further action by our stockholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of our Common Stock.
The issuance of shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase such shares, could be used to discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal. For instance, the issuance of a series of preferred stock might impede a business combination by including class voting rights that would enable a holder to block such a transaction. In addition, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our Common Stock. Although our board is required to make any determination to issue preferred stock based on its judgment as to the best interests of our stockholders, our board could act in a manner that would discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction that some, or a majority, of our stockholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which such stockholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then market price of such stock.

| Table of Contents |
Effect of Certain Provisions of Our Bylaws
Our bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring, or discouraging another party from acquiring control of us. These provisions and certain provisions of Delaware law, which are summarized below, could discourage takeovers, coercive or otherwise.
Our bylaws provide for our Board of Directors to be divided into three classes serving staggered terms. Approximately one-third of the Board of Directors will be elected each year. This method of electing directors makes changes in the composition of the Board of Directors more difficult, and thus a potential change in control of a corporation a lengthier and more difficult process. A classified board of directors is designed to assure continuity and stability in a board of directors’ leadership and policies by ensuring that at any given time a majority of the directors will have prior experience with our Company and be familiar with our business and operations.
The classified board structure may increase the amount of time required for a takeover bidder to obtain control of the Company without the cooperation of our Board of Directors, even if the takeover bidder were to acquire a majority of the voting power of our outstanding common stock. Without the ability to obtain immediate control of our Board of Directors, a takeover bidder will not be able to take action to remove other impediments to its acquisition of our Company. Thus, a classified Board of Directors could discourage certain takeover attempts, perhaps including some takeovers that stockholders may feel would be in their best interests. Further, a classified Board of Directors will make it more difficult for stockholders to change the majority composition of our Board of Directors, even if our stockholders believe such a change would be beneficial. Because a classified Board of Directors will make the removal or replacement of directors more difficult, it will increase the directors’ security in their positions, and could be viewed as tending to perpetuate incumbent management.
Since the creation of a classified Board of Directors will increase the amount of time required for a hostile bidder to acquire control of our Company, the existence of a classified board of directors could tend to discourage certain tender offers which stockholders might feel would be in their best interest. However, our Board of Directors believes that forcing potential bidders to negotiate with our Board of Directors for a change of control transaction will allow our Board of Directors to better maximize stockholder value in any change of control transaction.
Our bylaws also provide that, unless we consent in writing to an alternative forum, the federal and state courts of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, or employees to us or our stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or (iv) any action asserting a claim that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in each case subject the court having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein. This exclusive forum provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. This forum selection provision may limit our stockholders’ ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that they find favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, employees and agents even though an action, if successful, might benefit our stockholders.
Our bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before any meeting of our stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to our board of directors. At an annual or special meeting, stockholders may only consider proposals or nominations (i) specified in the notice of meeting; (ii) brought before the meeting by or at the direction of our board of directors or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by any stockholder who is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice and on the record date of the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in our bylaws. The bylaws do not give our board of directors the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting of our stockholders. However, our bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed. These provisions may also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a three-year period following the time that this stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Under Section 203, a business combination between a corporation and an interested stockholder is prohibited unless it satisfies one of the following conditions:
|
| · | before the stockholder became interested, our board approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and employee stock plans, in some instances, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder; or |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | at or after the time the stockholder became interested, the business combination was approved by our board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
Section 203 defines a business combination to include:
|
| · | any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder; |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | any sale, transfer, lease, pledge, exchange, mortgage or other disposition involving the interested stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation; |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | subject to exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder; or |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation. |
In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by the entity or person.

Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Securityholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect.

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.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 1 of Article VII of our Articles of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware we will indemnify our officers and directors from and against any and all expenses, liabilities, or other matters.
Section 2 of Article VI of our Articles of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no director or officer shall be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for damages for breach of any duty owed to the Company or its stockholders.
Article V of our Amended and Restated Bylaws states:
The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, each person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such person, or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise, or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, against all expense, liability, and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by such person. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify and hold harmless a person in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such person only if the commencement of such Proceeding (or part thereof) by the person was authorized in the specific case by the Board of Directors.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer 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.
ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
During the past three years, we issued the following securities:
Common Stock
On March 4, 2024, the Company entered into inducement offer letter agreements (the “Inducement Letters”) with each holder of notes issued in the 2023 Debt Offering. Pursuant to the Inducement Letters, the holders agreed to convert some or all of the notes at a reduced conversion price equal to $682.00 per share (such reduced conversion price, the “Notes Conversion Price”). Simultaneously with the execution of the Inducement Letters, the Company received conversion notices from such holders for the conversion of approximately $804,000 aggregate principal amount of the applicable notes, representing approximately 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable notes. In connection with such conversion, the Notes Conversion Price was permanently reduced to $682.00. The issuance of these securities was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The investor is accredited, familiar with our operations, and there was no general solicitation or advertising.
In March, May, and June of 2024, noteholders elected to convert an aggregate total of $3,556,234 pertaining to the 2023 Debt Offering into 5,215 shares of the Company’s common stock at $682 per share. The issuance of these securities was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The investor is accredited, familiar with our operations, and there was no general solicitation or advertising.

On October 7, 2024, we entered into a private placement transaction (the “2024 PIPE Financing”), pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “Purchasers”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $8.2 million, before deducting fees to the placement agent and other expenses payable by us. Aegis Capital Corp., acted as the exclusive placement agent for the 2024 PIPE Financing, which closed on October 9, 2024. As part of the Private Placement, we issued an aggregate of 202,470 units (the “Units”) at a purchase price of $40.50 per unit, each Unit consisting of (i) one share of common stock or one pre-funded warrant (the “Pre-Funded Warrant”) in lieu thereof, (ii) two Series A Warrants, each to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $38 per share (each a “Series A Warrant”), and (iii) one Series B Warrant to purchase such number of shares of common stock as will be determined on the Reset Date (each a “Series B Warrant”). Upon closing of the Private Placement, the Company issued 41,469 common shares and 161,000 pre-funded warrants. The issuance of these securities was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The investor is accredited, familiar with our operations, and there was no general solicitation or advertising. The common stock underlying the Units were registered with the SEC on form S-1 and the S-1 declared effective on December 13, 2024.
The Company issued 105 shares of common stock for RSUs vested during 2024. The issuance of these securities was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The investor is accredited, familiar with our operations, and there was no general solicitation or advertising.
The Company issued 872,874 shares of common stock upon exercise of warrants during 2024 related to the 2024 PIPE Financing.

The exhibits to this registration statement are listed in the Exhibit Index to this registration statement, which immediately precedes the Signature Page, and which Exhibit Index is hereby incorporated 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, as amended (the “Securities Act”); |
|
| (ii) | to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and |
|
| (iii) | to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-1 and the information required to be included in a post- effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement. |
| (2) | that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; |
| (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 to any purchaser: |
|
| (i) | If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B: |
|
| (A) | 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. |
| 28 |
| Table of Contents |
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; and
| (5) | that, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act 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 an undersigned registrant; and |
|
| (iv) | any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
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 Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
