Overview
We are a human capital outsourcing solutions provider that offers
solutions for large contingent part-time workforce demands,
primarily in the restaurant and hospitality service trades. Our
historic focus has been on the quick service restaurant industry in
Southern California, but we have begun to expand into other
geographic areas and industries employing temporary or part-time
labor sources as well as additional services ancillary to those
labor sources.
We offer a variety of human capital services to our clients,
including staffing, employment administrative services (“EAS”),
payroll processing, human resources consulting, and workers’
compensation coverage and administration related services, as
permitted by applicable law. We offer these services through
various wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the following:
(i) ShiftPixy Staffing, Inc., which provides traditional
staffing services; (ii) ReThink Administrative
Services, Inc., which operates as an administrative services
organization, or “ASO”, often in conjunction with ShiftPixy
Staffing; and (iii) Rethink Human Capital
Management, Inc., which offers a combination of services
provided by ShiftPixy Staffing and ReThink Administrative Services,
including EAS. We have built a human resources information systems
(“HRIS”) platform to assist in customer acquisition that simplifies
the onboarding of new clients into our closed proprietary operating
and processing information system (the “ShiftPixy Ecosystem”). This
platform is expected to facilitate additional value-added services
in future reporting periods.
Our revenues through the third quarter of our fiscal year ended
August 31, 2021 (“Fiscal 2021”) primarily consisted of
administrative fees calculated as a percentage of gross payroll
processed, payroll taxes due on WSEs billed to the client and
remitted to the taxation authority, and workers’ compensation
premiums billed to the client for which we facilitate coverage. Our
costs of revenues primarily consisted of the accrued and paid
payroll taxes and our costs to provide the workers’ compensation
coverage and administration related services, including premiums
and loss reserves. A significant portion of our assets and
liabilities is for our workers’ compensation reserves, carried as
cash balances, and our estimates of projected workers’ compensation
claims, carried as liabilities. We provided a self-funded workers’
compensation policy up to $500,000 and purchased reinsurance for
claims in excess of that limit up to February 28, 2021, after which
we changed to a direct cost premium only workers’ compensation
program
We believe that our customer value proposition is to provide a
combination of overall net cost savings to our clients, for which
they are willing to pay increased administrative fees, as
follows:
|
· |
Payroll tax compliance and management
services; |
|
· |
Governmental HR compliance services, such as
compliance with the Affordable Care Act (“ACA”); |
|
· |
Reduced client workers’ compensation premiums or
enhanced coverage; and |
|
· |
Access to an employee pool of potential
applicants to reduce turnover costs. |
We have invested heavily in a robust, cloud-based HRIS platform in
order to:
|
· |
reduce worksite employee (“WSE”) management
costs; |
|
· |
automate new WSE and client
onboarding; |
|
· |
address underserved markets
containing predominantly lower wage employees with high turnover,
as well as markets populated by WSEs seeking shift work or “gig”
opportunities; and |
|
· |
provide value-added services for our business
clients resulting in additional revenue streams to the
Company. |
Our cloud-based HRIS platform captures, holds, and processes HR and
payroll information for clients and WSEs through an easy-to-use
customized front-end interface coupled with a secure, remotely
hosted database. The HRIS platform can be accessed by an easy to
use smartphone application designed with legally binding HR
workflows in mind. Once fully implemented, we expect to reduce the
time, expense, and error rate for on-boarding WSEs into our
ecosystem. This allows our HRIS platform to serve as a “gig”
marketplace for WSEs and clients and for client businesses to
better manage their human capital needs.
We see our technology platform as a key competitive advantage and
differentiator to our market competitors and one that will allow us
to expand our human capital business beyond our current focus of
low-wage employees and healthcare workers. We believe that
providing this baseline business, coupled with a technology
solution to address additional concerns such as employee scheduling
and turnover, will provide a unique, cost effective solution to the
HR compliance, staffing, and scheduling problems that these
businesses face. We are completing additional features, expected to
generate additional revenue streams in calendar 2021, which will
enhance and expand our product offering, increase our client
customer and WSE counts, and increase the revenues and profit per
existing WSE.
The Private Placement
On August 31, 2021, we entered into a Securities Purchase
Agreement with Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd., pursuant to
which we issued and sold, in a private placement (the “Offering”),
an aggregate of (i) 2,850,000 shares (the “Shares”) of Common
Stock, together with warrants (the “Common Warrants”) to purchase
up to 2,850,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) 4,673,511 pre-funded warrants (the
“Pre-funded Warrants”) with each Pre-funded Warrant exercisable for
one share of Common Stock, together with Common Warrants to
purchase up to 4,673,511 shares of Common Stock
(collectively, the “Offering”). Each share of Common Stock and
accompanying Common Warrant was sold together at a combined
offering price of $1.595, and each Pre-funded Warrant and
accompanying Common Warrant was sold together at a combined
offering price of $1.5949. The Pre-funded Warrants are immediately
exercisable, at a nominal exercise price of $0.0001, and may be
exercised at any time until all of the Pre-funded Warrants are
exercised in full. The Common Warrants have an exercise price of
$1.595 per share, are immediately exercisable and expire five years
from the effective date of this registration statement.
In connection with the Offering, we entered into a Placement Agent
Agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Placement
Agent”), pursuant to which the Placement Agent acted as the
exclusive placement agent in connection with the Offering. Pursuant
to the Placement Agent Agreement, we agreed to pay the Placement
Agent a fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the
Offering. In addition to the cash fee, we agreed to issue to the
Placement Agent warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to five
percent (5%) of the aggregate number of Shares and shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants sold in the
Offering (the “Placement Agent Warrants” and, together with the
Common Warrants and the Pre-funded Warrants, the “Warrants”). The
Placement Agent Warrants are exercisable for a period commencing
six months from issuance and expiring four years from the effective
date of this registration statement, and have an initial exercise
price of $1.7545 per
share.
In connection with the Offering, we are obligated, among other
things, to (i) file a registration statement with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within 15 days
following the closing of the Offering for purposes of registering
the Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants, including the Pre-funded Warrants and the Placement
Agent Warrants, for resale by the selling shareholders,
(ii) use our commercially reasonable best efforts to have the
registration statement declared effective within sixty (60) days
after closing of the Offering (or ninety (90) days after the
closing of the Offering if the registration statement is reviewed
by the SEC), and (iii) maintain the registration until the
selling shareholder no longer hold any Shares or Warrants,
including Pre-funded Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants.
The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, the Placement
Agent Agreement, the form of Warrant and the form of Pre-funded
Warrant are not complete and are subject to and qualified in their
entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, the form of
Warrant and the form of Pre-funded Warrant, respectively, copies of
which are attached as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 4.1 and 4.2,
respectively, to the Current Report on Form 8-K dated August
31, 2021, and are incorporated herein by reference
Recent Developments
Vensure Litigation
On September 7, 2021, Shiftable HR Acquisition, LLC, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Vensure Employer Services, Inc. (collectively,
“Vensure”), filed a complaint (the “Complaint”) in the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware asserting claims against us for
breach of contract and declaratory judgment arising from the
January 2020 Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) between Vensure
and us, pursuant to which Vensure purchased certain assets from us
for total consideration of $19 million in cash, with $9.5 million
to be paid at closing, and the remainder to be paid in 48 equal
monthly installments (the “Installment Sum”). The Complaint does
not specify the amount of damages sought and, in any event, we
believe that, even if Vensure were to prevail, the amount
recoverable would be less than the Installment Sum due to us under
the APA but unpaid to date after offsetting any such recovery.
Nevertheless, we deny Vensure’s claims and intend to defend the
lawsuit vigorously while pursuing recovery of the unpaid
Installment Sum from Vensure.
May 2021 Private Placement
On May 13, 2021, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
with Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd., pursuant to which we
issued and sold, in a private placement (the “May Offering”), an
aggregate of (i) 2,320,000 shares (the “May Shares”) of Common
Stock, together with warrants (the “May Common Warrants”) to
purchase up to 2,320,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) 2,628,453
pre-funded warrants (the “May Pre-funded Warrants”) with each May
Pre-funded Warrant exercisable for one share of Common Stock,
together with May Common Warrants to purchase up to 2,628,453
shares of Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock and accompanying
May Common Warrant was sold together at a combined offering price
of $2.425, and each May Pre-funded Warrant and accompanying May
Common Warrant was sold together at a combined offering price of
$2.4249. The May Pre-funded Warrants were immediately exercisable,
at a nominal exercise price of $0.0001, and may be exercised at any
time until all of the May Pre-funded Warrants are exercised in
full. The May Common Warrants have an exercise price of $2.425 per
share, were immediately exercisable and expire on June 15,
2026.
In connection with the May Offering, we entered into a Placement
Agent Agreement (the “May Placement Agent Agreement”) with the
Placement Agent, pursuant to which the Placement Agent acted as the
exclusive placement agent in connection with the May Offering.
Pursuant to the May Placement Agent Agreement, we agreed to pay the
Placement Agent a fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds
from the May Offering. In addition to the cash fee, we issued to
the Placement Agent warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to five
percent (5%) of the aggregate number of the May Shares and shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the May Pre-funded
Warrants sold in the May Offering (the “May Placement Agent
Warrants”). The May Placement Agent Warrants are exercisable for a
period commencing on November 17, 2021 and expiring June 15, 2025,
and have an initial exercise price of $2.6675 per share.
Sponsorship of Special Purpose Acquisition Companies
On April 29, 2021, we announced our sponsorship, through our
wholly-owned subsidiary, ShiftPixy Investments, Inc., of four
special purpose acquisition company, (or “SPAC”), initial public
offerings. Three of the SPACs are each seeking to raise $150
million in capital investment to acquire companies in the light
industrial, healthcare, and technology segments of the staffing
industry, while the fourth SPAC is seeking to raise $150 million in
capital investment to acquire one or more insurance entities. We
anticipate that, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, we will own
approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding stock in each
entity upon their IPOs being declared effective and consummated,
(which is likely to decrease over time), and that each will operate
as a separately managed, publicly traded entity following the
completion of their respective initial business combinations, or
“De-SPAC”. We anticipate entering into service agreements with each
of the staffing entities that will allow them to participate in our
HRIS platform. We also expect to facilitate the procurement of
workers’ compensation, personal liability, and other similar
insurance products for these staffing entities through our
anticipated relationship with the insurance SPAC after it completes
the De-SPAC process.
Launch of ShiftPixy Labs
We also announced, in late 2020, our “ShiftPixy Labs” initiative,
which includes the creation of incubator “ghost kitchens” to be
operated under our wholly-owned subsidiary, ShiftPixy Ghost
Kitchens, Inc. Through this initiative, we intend to provide
resources and guidance to entrepreneurs seeking to bring their food
delivery concepts to market, in return for the opportunity to
combine with the ShiftPixy HRIS platform to create a co-branded, or
“ghost” branded, food preparation and delivery solution. The
initial phase of this initiative will be implemented in a dedicated
showcase kitchen facility located in close proximity to our Miami
headquarters, which is currently under renovation. We intend to
partner with various culinary training organizations and experts in
testing these concepts, and to showcase these efforts through the
distribution of video programming on social media produced and
distributed by our wholly owned subsidiary, ShiftPixy
Productions, Inc. If successful, we intend to replicate this
initiative in similarly constructed facilities throughout the
United States and in selected international locations. We also
intend to provide similar services via mobile kitchen concepts, all
of which will be heavily reliant on our HRIS platform and which we
believe will capitalize on trends observed during the COVID-19
pandemic toward providing customers with a higher quality prepared
food delivery product that is more responsive to their needs.
Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact upon and delayed
our expected growth, which we observed initially through a decrease
in our billed customers and WSEs beginning in mid-March 2020, when
the State of California first implemented “lockdown” measures.
Substantially all of our February 29, 2020 billed WSEs worked for
clients located in Southern California, primarily in the quick
service restaurant industry, and many of these clients were
required to furlough or lay off employees or, in some cases,
completely shutter their operations. For our clients serviced
immediately prior to the March 2020 pandemic lockdown, we
experienced an approximate 30% reduction in business levels within
6 weeks after the initial lockdown. The combination of our sales
efforts and the tools that our services provide to businesses
impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in additional business
opportunities for new client location additions, as did the fact
that many of our clients received Paycheck Protection Program
(“PPP”) loans under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic
Security Act, which supported their businesses and payroll payments
during in-store lockdowns. Nevertheless, during the quarter ended
May 31, 2020, our WSE billings per client location decreased as
many of our clients were forced to cease operations or reduce
staffing. On July 13, 2020, the Governor of the State of California
re-implemented certain COVID-19 related lockdown restrictions in
most of the counties in the state, including those located in
Southern California where most of our clients are located. The
fluid nature of the pandemic following those renewed lockdowns
resulted in the issuance of additional orders by state and county
health authorities, yielding uneven patterns of business openings
and closings throughout the state and leading ultimately to
significant lockdowns beginning in late November 2020 and through
the year-end holiday season as a spike in COVID-19 cases was
observed.
The negative impact of these lockdowns on our business and
operations continued through our third quarter of Fiscal 2021, with
improvement beginning after the removal of some restrictions in
California in March 2021 followed by nearly full lifting of
restrictions in June 2021. While the availability of PPP loans to
our clients mitigated the negative impact on our business during
the early stages of the pandemic, we believe that the failure of
the government to renew this program exacerbated the negative
impact of the holiday lockdowns on our financial results for the
three and nine months ending May 31, 2021. Nevertheless, we have
observed some degree of recovery during the third fiscal quarter,
as these lockdowns have relaxed and vaccination efforts have
accelerated. We believe that, to the extent that COVID-19 infection
rates continue to decrease and vaccination rates increase,
governmental authorities will continue to remove in-person dining
restrictions, which will fuel our clients’ business recoveries.
We have also experienced increases in our workers’ compensation
reserve requirements, and we expect additional workers’
compensation claims to be made by furloughed employees. We also
expect additional workers’ compensation claims to be made by
employees required to work by their employers during the COVID-19
pandemic. On May 4, 2020, the State of California indicated that
workers who became ill with COVID-19 would have a potential claim
against workers’ compensation insurance for their illnesses. These
additional claims, to the extent they materialize, could have a
material impact on our workers’ compensation liability
estimates.
Going Concern
At the close of the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, we had cash of $9
million and a working capital deficit of $14 million. We have
incurred recurring losses, which has resulted in an accumulated
deficit of $140.6 million as of May 31, 2021. As a result of
the recurring losses and cash used in operations, we included a
statement in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period
ended May 31, 2021, that these financial results raise
substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern
within one year from the issuance date of these financial
statements, and we expect to include a similar statement in our
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31,
2021.
Historically, our principal source of financing has come through
the sale of our Common Stock and issuance of convertible notes. In
May 2020, we successfully completed an underwritten public
offering, raising a total of $12 million ($10.3 million net of
costs), and closed an additional $1.35 million ($1.24 million net
of costs) between June 1, 2020 and July 7, 2020 pursuant
to the underwriter’s overallotment. In October 2020, we closed
an additional $12 million equity offering ($10.7 million net of
costs). In May 2021, we raised approximately $12 million in
connection with the sale of Common Stock and warrants. More
recently, in August 2021, we raised approximately $12 million in
connection with the sale of Common Stock and warrants that are
covered by this prospectus. Our plans and expectations for the next
12 months include raising additional capital to help fund expansion
of our operations, including the continued development and support
of our IT and HRIS platform, as well as our activities in
connection with our sponsorship of the SPACs described above. We
expect to continue to invest in our HRIS platform, ShiftPixy Labs,
our sponsorship of the SPACs and other growth initiatives, all of
which have required and will continue to require significant cash
expenditures.
We have been and expect to continue to be impacted by the COVID-19
pandemic, from which we have experienced both positive and negative
impacts. Our current business focus is providing human capital and
payroll services for the restaurant and hospitality industries,
which have seen a reduction in payroll and consequently a reduction
in payroll processing fees on a per WSE and per location basis.
However, we believe that we provide the means for current and
potential clients to adapt to many of the obstacles posed by
COVID-19 by offering additional services such as delivery, which
have facilitated an increase in our client and client location
counts, resulting in recovery of billings lost during the first
months of the pandemic. Beginning in June 2020, our billings
per WSE and per location improved as lockdowns in its primary
Southern California market were lifted. Although the State of
California re-implemented lockdowns in November 2020, we
believe that many of our clients have modified their businesses
after the initial lockdowns to adapt somewhat to these adverse
circumstances. Further, the recent acceleration in the roll-out of
COVID-19 vaccines throughout California and the entire country has
resulted in an easing of business operating restrictions.
Nevertheless, if lockdowns resume, our client’s delay hiring or
rehiring employees, or if our clients shut down operations, our
ability to generate operational cash flows may be significantly
impaired.
Risks Associated with Our Business
Our business and our ability to implement our business strategy are
subject to numerous risks, as more fully described in the section
entitled “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 (the “Annual
Report”), incorporated herein by reference. You should read these
risks before you invest in our securities. We may be unable, for
many reasons, including those that are beyond our control, to
implement our business strategy.

Risk Factors |
Investing in our Common Stock involves a high
degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” included in this
prospectus and beginning on page 19 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020, incorporated by
reference herein, and any other risk factors described in the
documents incorporated by reference herein, for a discussion of
certain factors to consider carefully before deciding to invest in
our Common Stock. |
Throughout this prospectus, when we refer to the shares of our
Common Stock being registered on behalf of the selling shareholders
for offer and sale, we are referring to the shares of Common Stock
sold to the selling shareholders, as well as the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, each as described
under “The Offering” and “Selling Shareholders.” When we refer to
the selling shareholders in this prospectus, we are referring to
the selling shareholders identified in this prospectus and, as
applicable, their donees, pledgees, transferees or other
successors-in-interest selling shares of Common Stock or interests
in shares of Common Stock received after the date of this
prospectus from a selling shareholder as a gift, pledge,
partnership distribution or other transfer.
RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk.
You should carefully consider and evaluate all of the information
contained in this prospectus and in the documents we incorporate by
reference into this prospectus before you decide to purchase our
securities. In particular, you should carefully consider and
evaluate the risks and uncertainties described below and under the
heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 (the “Annual
Report”). Any of the risks and uncertainties set forth below
and in our Annual Report, as updated by annual, quarterly and other
reports and documents that we file with the SEC and incorporate by
reference into this prospectus, or any prospectus, could materially
and adversely affect our business, results of operations and
financial condition, which in turn could materially and adversely
affect the value of any securities offered by this
prospectus. As a result, you could lose all or part of your
investment.
Risks Relating to Our Business
There is no guarantee that our current cash position,
expected revenue growth and anticipated financing transactions will
be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve
months.
At the close of the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, we had cash of $9
million and a working capital deficit of $14 million. We have
incurred recurring losses, which has resulted in an accumulated
deficit of $140.6 million as of May 31, 2021. As a result of the
recurring losses and cash used in operations, we included a
statement in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended
May 31, 2021, that these financial results raise substantial doubt
as to our ability to continue as a going concern within one year
from the issuance date of these financial statements, and we expect
to include a similar statement in our annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended August 31, 2021.
Historically, our principal source of financing has come through
the sale of our Common Stock and issuance of convertible notes. In
May 2020, we successfully completed an underwritten public
offering, raising a total of $12 million ($10.3 million net of
costs), and closed an additional $1.35 million ($1.24 million net
of costs) between June 1, 2020 and July 7, 2020 pursuant to the
underwriter’s overallotment. In October 2020, we closed an
additional $12 million equity offering ($10.7 million net of
costs). In May 2021, we raised approximately $12 million in
connection with the sale of Common Stock and warrants. More
recently, in August 2021, we raised approximately $12 million in
connection with the sale of Common Stock and warrants that are
covered by this prospectus. Our plans and expectations for the next
12 months include raising additional capital to help fund expansion
of our operations, including the continued development and support
of our IT and HRIS platform, as well as our activities in
connection with our sponsorship of the SPACs described above. We
expect to continue to invest in our HRIS platform, ShiftPixy Labs,
our sponsorship of the SPACs and other growth initiatives, all of
which have required and will continue to require significant cash
expenditures.
We believe that our current cash position, along with our cost
controls, projected revenue growth and anticipated financing from
potential institutional investors, will be sufficient to alleviate
substantial doubt and fund our operations for at least a year from
the date of this prospectus. If these sources do not provide the
capital necessary during the next twelve months, we may need to
curtail certain aspects of our operations or expansion activities,
consider the sale of additional assets, or consider other means of
financing. We can give no assurance that we will be successful in
implementing our business plan and obtaining financing on terms
that are advantageous to us, or that any such additional financing
will be available.
We will lose our entire investment in each SPAC if each SPAC
does not complete its initial business combination and our officers
may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular
business combination target is appropriate for each
SPAC.
Our wholly-owned subsidiary, ShiftPixy Investments, Inc.,
purchased founder shares in each SPAC for an aggregate purchase
price of $25,000 per SPAC. The number of founder shares issued to
us by each SPAC was determined based on the expectation that such
founder shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares of
each SPAC after the initial public offering of each SPAC (excluding
the private placement warrants described below and their underlying
securities). The founder shares will be worthless for each SPAC
that does not complete an initial business
combination. ShiftPixy Investments, Inc. has also agreed
to purchase private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per
warrant in the SPACs for an aggregate of $20,284,000 (or up to
$22,159,000 if the over-allotment option of each SPAC is exercised
in full). Each whole private placement warrant is exercisable
to purchase one whole share of common stock in each SPAC at $11.50
per share. The private placement warrants of each SPAC will also be
worthless if each SPAC does not complete an initial business
combination. In addition, ShiftPixy Investments, Inc. may
provide loans to each SPAC. The interests of our officers who
also serve as officers of each SPAC, and Mr. Absher, who also
serves as a director of each SPAC, may influence their motivation
in identifying and selecting a target business combination,
completing an initial business combination and influencing the
operation of the business following the initial business
combination of each SPAC.
Our officers, including our Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, Mr. Absher, will allocate their time to each SPAC,
thereby causing potential conflicts of interest in their
determination as to how much time to devote to our affairs. This
potential conflict of interest could have a negative impact on our
operations.
Our officers may not commit their full time to our affairs, which
may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time
between our operations and the SPACs. All of our officers are
engaged in the SPACs and our officers are not obligated to
contribute any specific number of hours per week to our affairs.
All of our officers serve as officers of each SPAC and
Mr. Absher serves as a director of each SPAC. While we do not
believe that the time devoted to the SPACs will undermine their
ability to fulfill their duties with respect to our Company, if the
business affairs of each SPAC require them to devote substantial
amounts of time to such affairs, it could limit their ability to
devote time to our affairs which may have a negative impact on our
operations.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into
this prospectus include forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, that relate to future events or our future financial
performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of
activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any
future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Words
such as, but not limited to, “anticipate,” “aim,” “believe,”

“intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “predict,” “poise,” “project,”
“potential,” “suggest,” “should,” “strategy,” “target,” “will,”
“would,” and similar expressions or phrases, or the negative of
those expressions or phrases, are intended to identify
forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking
statements contain these identifying words. Although we believe
that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement
contained in this prospectus and incorporated by reference into
this prospectus, we caution you that these statements are based on
our projections of the future that are subject to known and unknown
risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual
results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed
or implied by these forward-looking statements, to differ. The
section in this prospectus entitled “Risk Factors” and the sections
in our periodic reports, including our Annual Report entitled “Risk
Factors” and “Description of Business,” and our most recent
quarterly report on Form 10-Q entitled “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations,” as well as other sections in this prospectus and the
documents or reports incorporated by reference into this
prospectus, discuss some of the factors that could contribute to
these differences. These forward-looking statements include, among
other things, statements about:
|
· |
our
future financial performance, including our revenue, costs of
revenue and operating expenses; |
|
· |
our
ability to achieve and grow profitability; |
|
· |
our
ability to continue as a going concern, and the sufficiency of our
cash, cash equivalents and investments to meet our liquidity
needs; |
|

our
ability to form ongoing, profitable relationships with each of the

ability to maintain, protect and enhance our intellectual
property; |
|
· |
our
ability to comply with modified or new laws and regulations
applying to our business; |
|
· |
the
attraction and retention of qualified employees and key
personnel; |
|
· |
the
effect COVID-19 or other public health issues could have on our
business and financial condition and the economy in
general; |
|
· |
our
ability to successfully defend litigation brought against us;
and |
|
· |
our
use of the net proceeds from this offering, if any. |
We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations
disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not
place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements should be regarded solely as our current
plans, estimates and beliefs. We have included important factors in
the cautionary statements included in this document and
incorporated by reference, particularly in the section entitled
“Risk Factors” beginning on page 19 of our Annual Report that
we believe could cause actual results or events to differ
materially from the forward-looking statements that we make.
Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing
environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible
for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the
impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any
factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to
differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statements we may make. Given these risks and uncertainties,
readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such
forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are
qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Our
forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of
any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or
investments we may make. You should read this prospectus and the
documents that we have filed as exhibits to this prospectus and
incorporated by reference herein completely and with the
understanding that our actual future results may be materially
different from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in
the forward-looking statements we make. Although we believe that
the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are
reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity
or performance. The forward-looking statements contained in this
prospectus are made as of the date of this prospectus and we do not
assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise,
except as required by applicable law.
You should also consider carefully the statements set forth in
the sections titled “Risk Factors” or elsewhere in this prospectus
and in the documents incorporated or deemed incorporated herein or
therein by reference, which address various factors that could
cause results or events to differ from those described in the
forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral
forward-looking statements attributable to us or to persons acting
on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the
applicable cautionary statements. We have no plans to update
these forward-looking statements.
USE OF PROCEEDS

from the exercise of the Warrants will be used for working capital
and general corporate purposes, including in connection with our
activities related to our sponsorship of the SPACs, as described
above. The holders of the Warrants are not obligated to exercise
their Warrants, and we cannot predict whether holders of the
Warrants will choose to exercise all or any of their Warrants.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Each selling shareholder of the securities and any of their
pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to
time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on The
Nasdaq Capital Market or any other stock exchange, market or
trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private
transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A
selling shareholder may use any one or more of the following
methods when selling securities:
|
· |
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions
in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
|
· |
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
shareholders 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 shareholders 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 shareholders may arrange for
other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may
receive commissions or discounts from the selling shareholders (or,
if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities,
from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set
forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency
transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in
compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a
principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA
Rule 2121.
In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein,
the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn
engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging
the positions they assume. The selling shareholders may also sell
securities short and deliver these securities to close out their
short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers
that in turn may sell these securities. The selling shareholders
may also enter into option or other transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or
more derivative securities which require the delivery to such
broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered
by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other
financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as
supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The selling shareholders 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
shareholder 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 shareholders against
certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act.
We agreed to use commercially reasonable best efforts to keep this
registration statement effective at all times until the Investor no
longer owns any shares of Common Stock, Warrants or shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act,
any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may
not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect
to the Common Stock for the applicable restricted period, as
defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the
distribution. In addition, the selling shareholders will be subject
to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the
timing of purchases and sales of the Common Stock by the selling
shareholders or any other person. We will make copies of this
prospectus available to the selling shareholders and have informed
them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each
purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by
compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and
Officers.
Sections 17-16-851 through -856 of the Wyoming Statutes (the
“Applicable Statutes”) provide that directors and officers of
Wyoming corporations may, under certain circumstances, be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and other
liabilities actually and reasonably incurred by them as a result of
any suit brought against them in their capacity as a director or
officer, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their
conduct was unlawful. The Applicable Statutes also provide that
directors and officers may also be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys’ fees) incurred by them in connection with a
derivative suit if they acted in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made
without court approval if such person was adjudged liable to the
corporation.
Further, Article V of our articles of incorporation, as
amended, also provides as follows regarding our indemnification of
our directors, officers, employees and agents:
“[t]o the fullest extent permitted by the Wyoming Business
Corporation Act or any other applicable law as now in effect or as
it may hereafter be amended, no person who is or was a director of
the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or
its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty
as a director, except for liability for (A) the amount of
financial benefit received by a director to which he or she is not
entitled; (B) an intentional infliction of harm on the
Corporation or the Shareholders; (C) a violation of
Section 17-16-833 of the Wyoming Business Corporation Act; or
(D) an intentional violation of criminal law. If the Wyoming
Business Corporation Act is amended after the effective date of
this Amendment to authorize corporate action further eliminating or
limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of
a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the
fullest extent permitted by the Wyoming Business Corporation Act,
as so amended.
The Corporation shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by
the Wyoming Business Corporation Act, as the same may be amended
and supplemented from time to time, any and all persons whom it
shall have power to indemnify under the Wyoming Business
Corporation Act. The indemnification provided for herein shall not
be exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking
indemnification may be entitled as a matter of law under any Bylaw,
agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors of the
Corporation, or otherwise, both as to action in such indemnified
person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity
while serving as a director, officer, employee, or agent of the
Corporation, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be
a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, and
shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such person.
Any repeal or modification of this Article V or amendment to
the Wyoming Business Corporation Act shall not adversely affect any
right or protection of a director, officer, agent, or other person
existing at the time of or increase the liability of any director,
officer, agent, or other person of the Corporation with respect to
any acts or omissions of such director, officer, or agent occurring
prior to, such repeal, modification, or amendment.
The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving
at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent to another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against such
person and incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising
out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would
have the power to indemnify him against liability under the
provisions of this Article V.”
Further, Article XIV of our Bylaws also provides as follows
regarding our indemnification of our directors, officers, employees
and agents:
“The corporation shall indemnify any person acting on its behalf in
accord with the law of Wyoming. The indemnification provided hereby
shall not be deemed exclusive of any other right to which anyone
seeking indemnification thereunder may be entitled under any bylaw,
agreement, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity
and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. The
corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on the behalf of
any Director, officer, agent, employee or former Director or
officer or other person, against any liability asserted against
them and incurred by him.”

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; |
|
(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 20 percent change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of
Registration Fee” table in the effective registration
statement; |
|
(iii) |
To
include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement
or any material change to such information in the registration
statement; |
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (ii), and
(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by
the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78m or 78o(d)) that are
incorporated by reference in 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 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 the
undersigned registrant; and |
|
(iv) |
Any
other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the
undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of
the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or
section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual
report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
|
(1) |
For
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the
information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of
this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and
contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant
to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the
Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration
statement as of the time it was declared effective. |
|
(2) |
For
the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of these securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering. |

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the
registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed
on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in the
city of Miami, Florida, on this September 17, 2021.
