PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT |
(to Prospectus dated December 5, 2024)
Red Cat Holdings, Inc.
Up to 23,742,666 Shares of Common Stock
Offered by Selling Stockholders
This prospectus supplement relates to the offer and resale by certain selling stockholders named herein (the “Selling Stockholders”) of an aggregate of up to 23,742,666 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per shares (the “Shares”). The Shares are issuable by us pursuant to the conversion or payment of promissory notes, and the exercise of warrants, previously issued by us in private placement transactions.
The Selling Stockholders, or their respective transferees, pledgees, donees or other successors-in-interest, may sell the Shares through public or private transactions at prevailing market prices, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may sell any, all or none of the securities offered by this prospectus, and we do not know when or in what amounts the Selling Stockholders may sell their Shares hereunder. We provide more information about how a Selling Stockholder may sell its Shares in the section titled “Plan of Distribution” on page S-__.
We are registering the Shares on behalf of the Selling Stockholders, to be offered and sold by them from time to time. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders in the offering described in this prospectus. We have agreed to bear all of the expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the Shares. The Selling Stockholders will pay or assume all discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers or dealer managers and similar expenses, if any, incurred for the sale of the Shares.
Our Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or “Nasdaq,” under the symbol “RCAT.” On December 6, 2024, the last reported sale price of our common stock on Nasdaq was $8.17 per share.
We are a smaller reporting company under Rule 405 of the Securities Act and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference herein and future filings.
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 8 of the prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the prospectus for a discussion of information that you should consider in connection with an investment in our common stock.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

This prospectus supplement relates to the offer and resale from time to time of up to 23,742,666 shares of our common stock by the Selling Stockholders identified in the table below, and their transferees, pledgees, donees, assignees or other successors (each also a Selling Stockholder for purposes of this prospectus supplement). We are registering these Shares for sale by the Selling Stockholders named below pursuant to agreements with them which we entered into in connection with the closing of private placement transactions. The Selling Stockholders identified below may currently hold or acquire Shares in addition to those set forth below. The percentage ownership is based on shares of common stock outstanding as of December 12, 2024.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to such securities. Except as otherwise indicated, all persons listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the Shares beneficially owned by them. The information does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose.
The information in the table below (other than the percentages of our Shares beneficially owned) in respect of the Selling Stockholders was furnished by or on behalf of the Selling Stockholders with respect to this resale shelf registration rights and is as of the date hereof. Except as may be noted below, elsewhere in this prospectus supplement, or in information incorporated herein by reference, the Selling Stockholders do not have, and within the past three years have not had, any material relationship with us or any of our affiliates.
Information concerning the Selling Stockholders may change from time to time and any changed information will be set forth in supplements to this prospectus supplement, if and when necessary. No offer or sale under this prospectus supplement may be made by a Selling Stockholder unless that holder is listed in the table below, in any supplement to this prospectus supplement or in an amendment to the related registration statement that has become effective. We will supplement or amend this prospectus supplement if applicable to include additional Selling Stockholders upon provision of all required information to us and subject to the terms of any relevant agreement between us and the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders identified below may currently hold or acquire at any time our Shares in addition to those registered by this prospectus supplement.
The Selling Stockholders are not obligated to sell any of the Shares offered by this prospectus supplement. Because the Selling Stockholders identified in the table below may sell some or all of the Shares owned by them that are included in this prospectus supplement, and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the Shares, no estimate can be given as to the number of Shares covered by this prospectus supplement that will be held by the Selling Stockholders upon termination of this offering. Therefore, for purposes of the following table and as of the date of this prospectus supplement, we have assumed that the Selling Stockholders will sell all of the Shares beneficially owned by them that are covered by this prospectus supplement.

The Selling Stockholders and any of their respective pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on any trading market, share exchange or other trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:
S-3 |
● | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
● | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
● | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
● | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
● | privately negotiated transactions; |
● | settlement of short sales; |
● | in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security; |
● | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
● | a combination of any such methods of sale; or |
● | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus supplement.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the securities covered hereby, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus supplement, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus supplement (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus.
S-4 |
We intend to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Shareholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for us to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Shares 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 Shares by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and are informing the Selling Stockholders 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).

Overview
The Company was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado in 1984 under the name Oravest International, Inc. In November 2016, we changed our name to TimefireVR, Inc. and re-incorporated in Nevada. In May 2019, the Company completed a share exchange agreement with Propware which resulted in the Propware shareholders acquiring an 83% ownership interest, and management control, of the Company. In connection with the share exchange agreement, we changed our name to Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (“Red Cat” or the “Company” or “we”) and our operating focus to the drone industry.
Prior to the share exchange agreement, Propware was focused on the research and development of software solutions that could provide secure cloud-based analytics, storage and services for the drone industry. Following the share exchange agreement and its name change, Red Cat has completed a series of acquisitions and financings which have broadened the scope of its activities in the drone industry. These acquisitions included:
· In January 2020, we acquired Rotor Riot, a reseller of drones and related parts, primarily to the consumer marketplace through its digital storefront located at www.rotorriot.com. The total purchase price was $2.0 million.
3 |
· In November 2020, the Company acquired Fat Shark which sells consumer electronics products to the first-person view (“FPV”) sector of the drone industry. Fat Shark’s flagship products are headsets with a built-in display (or “goggles”) that allow a pilot to see a real-time video feed from a camera typically mounted on an aerial platform or drone. The total purchase price was $8.4 million.
· In May 2021, we acquired Skypersonic, a provider of drone products and software solutions that enable drone inspection flights that can be executed by pilots anywhere in the world. Skypersonic powers drones to “Fly Anywhere” and “Inspect the Impossible”. Its patented software and hardware solutions allow for inspection services in restricted spaces where GPS is denied or unavailable. The total purchase price was $2.8 million.
· In August 2021, the Company acquired Teal, a leader in providing sophisticated and complex unmanned aerial vehicle (“UAV”) technology, primarily drones, to government and commercial enterprises, most notably, the military. Teal manufactures drones approved by the U.S. Department of Defense for reconnaissance, public safety, and inspection applications. The total purchase price was $10.0 million.
Following the Teal acquisition in August 2021, we concentrated on integrating and organizing these businesses. Effective May 1, 2022, we established the Enterprise segment and the Consumer segment to focus on the unique opportunities in each sector. The Enterprise segment’s initial strategy was to provide UAVs to commercial enterprises, and the military, to navigate dangerous military environments and confined industrial and commercial interior spaces. Subsequently, the segment narrowed its near-term attention on the military and other government agencies. Skypersonic’s technology has been redirected to military applications and its operations consolidated into Teal.
The Enterprise segment’s current business strategy is focused on providing integrated robotic hardware and software for use across a variety of applications. Its solutions provide critical situational awareness and actionable intelligence to on-the-ground warfighters and battlefield commanders as well as firefighters and public safety officials. Our Enterprise segment’s efforts are centered on developing and scaling an American made family of systems. We have since completed construction of a manufacturing facility in Salt Lake City and believe that an increased focus by the United States government and American businesses on purchasing products that are “Made in America” provide our Enterprise segment with a competitive advantage.
On February 16, 2024, we closed the sale of our Consumer segment, consisting of Rotor Riot and Fat Shark, to Unusual Machines, Inc. (or “Unusual Machines” or “UMAC”). The sale reflects our decision to focus our efforts and capital on defense where we believe there are more opportunities to create long term shareholder value.
Key Business Accomplishments during Fiscal 2024 and to date include:
Scaling Teal 2, a military-grade sUAS Designed to “Dominate the Night™”
Following its acquisition by Red Cat in August 2021, Teal accelerated efforts on the development of its next generation drone for our Enterprise segment. These efforts culminated in the launch of the Teal 2 in April 2023. The Teal 2 is the first small, unmanned aircraft system (“sUAS”) designed to “Dominate the Night”, when most combat operations take place, through its enhanced capabilities. The Teal 2 offers the latest intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (“ISR”) technology and delivers time-critical information that enables the warfighter to make faster and smarter decisions.
The Teal 2 is manufactured exclusively at Teal’s purpose-built factory in Salt Lake City, Utah. Teal originally moved into the facility in October 2021. In January 2022, Teal doubled the size of the facility, which now totals approximately 22,000 square feet, to fully scale production capacity to meet the forecast growth in demand and to house its expanding team of software and technology engineers. We believe that maximum production capacity for this facility can reach 5,000 or more drones per month over the next few years, provided that additional capital investments are made and manufacturing efficiencies realized. Manufacturing in the United States, “Made in the USA,” is a critical consideration of the U.S. government and other state and local government agencies.
4 |
During Fiscal 2024, Teal continued to scale the manufacturing facility, including dedicated teams for production and assembly, manufacturing engineering, supply chain and logistics, warranty and returns, as well as a flight operations team that is focused on manufacturing and quality assurance and quality control.
Designation of Teal 2 as Blue UAS received from U.S. Department of Defense
In June 2023, the Teal 2 received clearance from the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) to be designated as a Blue UAS. The DoD defines these drones as NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) compliant, validated as cyber secure, and safe to fly. This designation enables Teal to fill orders from federal, state, and local government agencies subject to oversight by the DoD, including those orders that were contingent upon receiving certification. In addition, many governments of allied nations are more likely to purchase Blue UAS approved drones. Teal’s legacy drone, the Golden Eagle, is also on the cleared list.
After the U.S. Army banned its forces from using Chinese-made quadcopters due to security risks (the radio controls of the drone are unencrypted and the devices could potentially capture, store and upload sensitive information to the Chinese government), the DoD began developing its own alternatives under a defense program known as Blue sUAS. Blue sUAS is an initiative of the Defense Innovation Unit (“DIU”), the only DoD organization focused on accelerating the adoption of commercial and dual use technology to solve operational challenges at a speed and scale that is faster and higher than normal for government agencies.
Red Cat Futures Initiative
In May 2024, we announced the formation of the Red Cat Futures Initiative (RFI). RFI is an independent, industry-wide consortium of robotics and autonomous systems (RAS) partners dedicated to putting the most advanced and interoperable uncrewed aircraft systems into the hands of warfighters. Anchored by Red Cat’s Teal Drones, the RFI unites the world’s most innovative UAS hardware and software companies focused on AI/ML, swarming, FPV, command and control, and payloads.
Founding members include Ocean Power Technologies (NYSE: OPTT), Sentien Robotics, Primordial Labs, Athena AI, Unusual Machines, Reach Power, Doodle Labs, and MMS Products. The shared goal is advocacy, integrations and comarketing that bridges considerable technology gaps through modular open architecture.
Government Contracts and Orders
The Enterprise segment is focused on U.S. federal government agencies, particularly the DoD, as its initial target market. Its longer term target customer base includes U.S. state and local government agencies, as well as governments of foreign allies. An overview of existing government contracts and recent developments include:
Selection for U.S. Army Short Range Reconnaissance Program of Record
On November 19, 2024, we announced that Teal was selected as the winner of the U.S. Army’s Short Range Reconnaissance (SRR) Program of Record. The goal of the program is to provide a small, rucksack portable, fully encrypted small, unmanned aircraft system (“sUAS”) that provides all Army infantry platoons (consisting of 20-50 soldiers) with situational awareness beyond the next terrain. The production selection was made after a test and evaluation process of Teal’s next generation sUAS, completed by the Army Project Management Office for Uncrewed Aircraft Systems, Army Maneuver Battle Lab, Army Test and Evaluation Command, and Army Operational Test Center.

U.S. Border Patrol
$1.8 Million Purchase Order from U.S. Border Patrol
In September 2023, Teal was awarded a $1.8 million contract from U.S. Customs and Border Protection to provide Teal 2 systems to U.S. Border Patrol. The U.S. Border Patrol is using the Teal 2 to provide supplemental airborne reconnaissance, surveillance and tracking capability, enhancing situational awareness for U.S. field commanders and agents.
Customs and Border Protection Contract Worth up to $90 Million over Five Years
In December 2021, Teal was one of only five contractors designated to participate in a firm, fixed price, multiple award blanket purchase agreement (BPA) by the United States Customs and Border Protection. The BPA has an estimated value of $90 million in total over a 5-year period.
The Department of Homeland Security agencies can place orders through the BPA for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). The drones will provide supplemental airborne reconnaissance, surveillance, and tracking capability to enhance situational awareness for field commanders and agents in areas that lack nearby traditional surveillance systems or available manned air support.
U.S. Defense Logistics Agency
In August 2023, Teal received two purchase orders totaling $5.2 million from the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). Both orders were requested by U.S. Air Force Security Forces, whose role is to defend Air Force bases and installations.
The procurements were sourced by global operations support company Noble Supply & Logistics, LLC (NOBLE) as part of the DLA’s Special Operational Equipment Tailored Logistics Support (“SOE TLS Program”). NOBLE is a DLA-designated provider for the SOE TLS Program. This 10-year program, capped at $33 billion, covers the delivery of logistics support to federal agencies, military bases and other DLA customers worldwide, helping them meet their special operational equipment requirements.
NATO Allied Countries
In March 2024, Teal received $2.5 million in new contract awards with two NATO allied countries. As part of our expanded global sales strategy, the contract delivery featured Teal 2 drone systems, training, and accessories.

On September 23, 2024, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Lind Global Asset Management X LLC (“Lind”). Under the terms of the SPA, we issued to Lind: (1) a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the amount of $9,600,000 (the “Note”); and (ii) Common Stock Purchase Warrant for the purchase of 750,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $6.50 per share, exercisable for 5 years (the “Warrant”).
The Note, which does not accrue interest, shall be repaid in eighteen (18) consecutive monthly installments in the amount of $533,334 beginning six months from the issuance date. At our option, monthly payments can be increased up to $1,000,000 so long as our market capitalization is at least $50 million. In addition, if the Repayment Share Price (as defined below) is equal to or greater than $2.00, Lind can, at its option, increase the monthly payment amount up to $1,300,000 for up to two months. The monthly payments due under the Note may be made by the issuance of common stock valued at the Repayment Share Price, cash in an amount equal to 1.025 times the required payment amount, or a combination thereof. The Repayment Share Price is defined in the Note as ninety percent (90%) of the average of the five (5) consecutive lowest daily VWAPs for our common stock during the twenty (20) trading days prior to the payment date, subject to a floor price of $0.75 per share.
The Note may be converted by Lind from time to time at a price of $6.50 per share (the “Conversion Price”). The dollar amount of any conversions by Lind will be applied toward required Note payments in chronological order. The Note may be prepaid in whole upon 5 days’ notice, but in the event of a prepayment notice, Lind may convert up to 25% of principal amount due at the lesser of the Repayment Share Price (but only if the Repayment Share Price is equal to or greater than $2.00) or the Conversion Price.
On November 26, 2024, we entered into a First Amendment to the SPA (the “SPA Amendment”). Under the terms of the SPA Amendment, we issued to Lind: (1) an additional Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the amount of $7,200,000 (the “Second Note”); and (ii) a Common Stock Purchase Warrant for the purchase of 326,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $9.20 per share, exercisable for 5 years (the “Second Warrant”).
The Second Note, which does not accrue interest, shall be repaid in eighteen (18) consecutive monthly installments in the amount of $400,000 beginning six months from the issuance date. At our option, monthly payments can be increased up to $750,000 so long as our market capitalization is at least $50 million. In addition, if the Repayment Share Price (as defined below) is equal to or greater than $2.00, Lind can, at its option, increase the monthly payment amount up to $975,000 for up to two months. The monthly payments due under the Second Note may be made by the issuance of common stock valued at the Repayment Share Price, cash in an amount equal to 1.025 times the required payment amount, or a combination thereof. The Repayment Share Price is defined in the Second Note as ninety percent (90%) of the average of the five (5) consecutive lowest daily VWAPs for our common stock during the twenty (20) trading days prior to the payment date, subject to a floor price of $0.75 per share.
The Second Note may be converted by Lind from time to time at a price of $9.20 per share (the “Conversion Price”). The dollar amount of any conversions by Lind will be applied toward upcoming Second Note payments in chronological order. The Second Note may be prepaid in whole upon 5 days’ notice, but in the event of a prepayment notice, Lind may convert up to 25% of principal amount due at the lesser of the Repayment Share Price (but only if the Repayment Share Price is equal to or greater than $2.00) or the Conversion Price.
A total of up to 23,476,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon: (i) conversions of the Note and the Second Note and/or payments under the Note and the Second Note made by issuance of common stock, as provided for therein; and (ii) exercises of the Warrant and the Second Warrant, may be offered hereby in a secondary offering for the account of Lind and/or its successors and assigns.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK
Pursuant to our articles of incorporation, our board of directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, in one or more series. Our articles of incorporation, as amended, provide that our Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by the shareholders, to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon the preferred stock.

Our Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
On May 15, 2019, we closed a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Red Cat Propware, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Red Cat Propware”) and its then current shareholders (the “Acquisition”) pursuant to which we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Red Cat Propware in exchange for our issuance of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Stock”) to the Red Cat Propware shareholders which constituted approximately 83.33% of our issued an outstanding share capital on a fully-diluted basis at such time. With the exception of shares held by our current Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey Thompson, the convertibility of shares of Series A Stock is limited such that a holder of Series A Stock may not convert Series A Stock to our common stock to the extent that the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock owned by the holder at such time, would result in the holder beneficially owning more than 4.99% of all of our outstanding common stock.
On May 15, 2019, we filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada a Certificate of Designation of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Certificate of Designation”). Pursuant to the Series A Certificate of Designation, the Company designated 2,200,000 shares of its blank check preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has no stated value. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, each share of Series A Preferred Stock will not be entitled to a per share preferential payment but will be entitled to participate in any distribution out of the assets of the Company on an equal basis per share with the holders of Common Stock, as if all shares of Series A Preferred Stock had been converted to Common Stock immediately prior to the distribution. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into 8.33 shares of common stock for every one share of Series A Preferred Stock held (the “A Conversion Rate”). The conversion ratio is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, combination of shares and similar recapitalization transactions. The Company is prohibited from effecting the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, the holder beneficially owns more than 4.99%, in the aggregate, which beneficial ownership limitation may be increased by the holder up to, but not exceeding, 9.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock calculated immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limit”). The Beneficial Ownership Limit is inapplicable to a shareholder who, in advance issuance of Series A Preferred Stock, specifically waives such limitations and our Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey Thompson, waived such limitations prior to the Red Cat Propware acquisition. Under the Series A Certificate of Designation, no consideration (including any modification of this Certificate of Designation or related transaction document) shall be offered or paid to any person or entity to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Certificate of Designation or related transaction document unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. There are no longer any shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
On May 13, 2019, we filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada a Certificate of Designation of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Certificate of Designation”). Pursuant to the Series B Certificate of Designation, the Company designated 4,300,000 shares of its blank check preferred stock as Series B Preferred Stock. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock has no stated value. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, each share of Series B Preferred Stock will not be entitled to a per share preferential payment but will be entitled to participate in any distribution out of the assets of the Company on an equal basis per share with the holders of Common Stock, as if all shares of Series B Preferred Stock had been converted to Common Stock immediately prior to the distribution. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into 0.83 shares of common stock for every one share of Series B Preferred Stock held (the “B Conversion Rate”). The conversion ratio is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, combination of shares and similar recapitalization transactions. The Company is prohibited from effecting the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, the holder beneficially owns more than 4.99%, in the aggregate, which beneficial ownership limitation may be increased by the holder up to, but not exceeding, 9.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock calculated immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limit”). Under the Series B Certificate of Designation, no consideration (including any modification of this Certificate of Designation or related transaction document) shall be offered or paid to any person or entity to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Certificate of Designation or related transaction document unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the holders of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
We may issue warrants for the purchase of preferred stock or common stock. Warrants may be issued independently or together with any preferred stock or common stock, and may be attached to or separate from any offered securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between a warrant agent specified in the agreement and us.

This summary of some provisions of the warrants is not complete. You should refer to the warrant agreement, including the forms of warrant certificate representing the warrants, relating to the specific warrants being offered for the complete terms of the warrant agreement and the warrants.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we may enter into a continuous offering program equity distribution agreement with a broker-dealer, under which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock from time to time through a broker-dealer as our sales agent. If we enter into such a program, sales of the shares of common stock, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the Nasdaq Capital Market or other market on which are shares may then trade at market prices, block transactions and such other transactions as agreed upon by us and the broker-dealer. Under the terms of such a program, we also may sell shares of common stock to the broker-dealer, as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. If we sell shares of common stock to such broker-dealer as principal, we will enter into a separate terms agreement with such broker-dealer, and we will describe this agreement in a separate prospectus supplement or pricing supplement.

Market Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions
Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, other than our common stock, all securities we offer under this prospectus will be a new issue and will have no established trading market. We may elect to list offered securities on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market. Any underwriters that we use in the sale of offered securities may make a market in such securities, but may discontinue such market making at any time without notice. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the securities will have a liquid trading market.
Any underwriter may also engage in stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Rule 104 under the Securities Exchange Act. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security in the open market for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions.
Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be in the absence of the transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these transactions, discontinue them at any time.
