CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus, any prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, including the information incorporated by reference herein and therein, contains or may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements depend upon events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside of our control. All statements, other than statements related to present facts or current conditions or of historical facts, contained in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, including the information incorporated by reference herein and therein, including statements regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenues, and projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management, are forward-looking statements. Accordingly, these statements involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in them. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “ongoing,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, or the documents incorporated by reference herein.
Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and actual results or events may differ materially from those projected or implied in those statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to: risks related to the rollout of our business and the timing of expected business milestones; our dependence on widespread acceptance and adoption of electric vehicles and increased installation of charging stations; our ability to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, including the remediation of identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting relating to segregation of duties with respect to, and access controls to, its financial record keeping system, and our accounting staffing levels; our current dependence on sales of charging stations for most of our revenues; overall demand for electric vehicle charging and the potential for reduced demand if governmental rebates, tax credits and other financial incentives are reduced, modified or eliminated or governmental mandates to increase the use of electric vehicles or decrease the use of vehicles powered by fossil fuels, either directly or indirectly through mandated limits on carbon emissions, are reduced, modified or eliminated; potential adverse effects on our backlog, revenue and gross margins if customers increasingly claim clean energy credits and, as a result, they are no longer available to be claimed by us; the effects of competition on our future business; risks related to our dependence on its intellectual property and the risk that our technology could have undetected defects or errors; the risk that we conduct a portion of our operations through a joint venture exposes us to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control; changes in applicable laws or regulations; risks related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to our joint ventures; risks relating to privacy and data protection laws, privacy or data breaches, or the loss of data; the possibility that we may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and the risks identified under “Risk Factors” described or incorporated by reference in this prospectus.
We caution you not to rely on forward-looking statements, which reflect current beliefs and are based on information currently available as of the date a forward-looking statement is made. Forward-looking statements set forth herein speak only as of the date of this prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, as applicable. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Other sections of this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein describe additional factors that could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. We believe these factors include, but are not limited to, those described or incorporated by reference under “Risk Factors”. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement. 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. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information or future developments, except as otherwise required by law.

Overview
We are a green energy technology company that provides, directly and through business ventures with our partners, a globally-available, commercial V2G technology platform that enables EV batteries to store and resell unused energy back to the local electric grid and provide other grid services. Our proprietary V2G technology — Grid Integrated Vehicle (“GIVe”) platform — has the potential to refuel the next generation of EV fleets through cutting-edge, bi-directional charging solutions.
Our proprietary V2G technology enables us to link multiple EV and stationary batteries into a virtual power plant to provide bi-directional services to the electrical grid. Our GIVe software platform was created to harness capacity from “loads” at the edge of the distribution grid (i.e., aggregation of EVs and stationary batteries) in a qualified, controlled and secure manner to provide many of the grid services offered by conventional generation sources (i.e., coal and natural gas plants). Our current addressable energy and capacity markets include grid services such as frequency regulation, demand charge management, demand response, energy optimization, distribution grid services and energy arbitrage.
Our customers and partners include owner/operators of light duty fleets, heavy duty fleets (including school buses), automotive manufacturers, charge point operators, large facility owners (V2G Hubs), and strategic partners (via joint ventures, other business ventures and special purpose financial vehicles). We also operate a small number of company-owned charging stations serving as demonstration projects funded by government grants. We expect growth in company-owned charging stations and the related government grant funding to continue, but for such projects to constitute a declining percentage of our future business as our commercial operations expand.
We offer our customers networked charging stations, infrastructure, software, professional services, support, monitoring and parts and labor warranties required to run electric vehicle fleets, as well as low and in some cases free energy costs. We expect to generate revenue primarily from the provision of services to the grid via our GIVe software platform and sales of V2G-enabled charging stations. In the case of light duty fleet and heavy duty fleet customers, we also may receive a mobility fee, which is a recurring fixed payment made by fleet customers per fleet vehicle. In addition, we may generate non-recurring consulting and engineering services revenue derived from the planning and integration of electrification of transportation projects, energy management projects and the integration of our technology with automotive OEMs and charge point operators. In the case of recurring grid services revenue generated via automotive OEM and charge point operator customer integrations, we may also share the recurring grid services revenue with the customer.
Private Placements
March 2025 AIR Notes and AIR Warrants
As previously disclosed, on October 31, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited institutional and individual investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue to the Investors senior convertible promissory notes (as amended and restated, the “Notes”) convertible into shares of our Common Stock and accompanying warrants (the “Original Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock. As previously disclosed, certain of the Investors exercised their right (the “Additional Investment Right”) under the Purchase Agreement to purchase additional Notes and warrants. In connection with the exercise of the Additional Investment Right, on March 5, 2025, the Company issued to certain Investors (i) an aggregate of $1,666,666.67 principal amount (the “Principal Amount”) senior convertible promissory notes, carrying a 10% original issue discount (as amended and restated, each, a “March AIR Note” and, collectively, the “March AIR Notes”), convertible into shares of Common Stock, and (ii) accompanying warrants (the “March AIR Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “March AIR Issuance”).
1
The March AIR Warrants are exercisable for up to an aggregate of 100% of the shares (the “March Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock that each March AIR Note is convertible into as of the issuance date, at an exercise price of $2.02 per share (the “March Exercise Price”), which represents 95% of the average of the five lowest trading prices in the ten trading days prior to the date the Investors exercised their Additional Investment Right, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
The March AIR Notes mature 18 months from the date of issuance (the “March AIR Term”). We may elect to extend the March AIR Term by up to an additional six months, so long as (i) at least 33% of the Principal Amount has been repaid or converted into shares of Common Stock, and (ii) no event of default has occurred and is continuing nor has any event constituting a material adverse effect occurred. If we elect to exercise such March AIR Term extension right, we shall pre-pay to the holders of the AIR Notes six months of monthly interest based on the then-outstanding Principal Amount under the March AIR Notes.
The March AIR Notes are convertible, at the option of the respective Investors, at any time, in whole or in part, into such number of shares of Common Stock (the “March Conversion Shares”) equal to the Principal Amount of the March AIR Notes outstanding plus all accrued and unpaid interest at a conversion price equal to $2.02 per share (the “March Conversion Price”), which represents 95% of the average of the five lowest trading prices in the ten trading days prior to the date the Investors exercised their Additional Investment Right, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The March Conversion Price is subject to full ratchet antidilution protection and certain exceptions upon any subsequent transaction at a price lower than the March Conversion Price then in effect, subject to a floor price equal to $0.528 per share (the “Floor Price”), and standard adjustments in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, combinations or similar events.
Alternatively, in the event of an event of default, the March Conversion Price may be converted to an “Alternate Conversion Price”, which is defined as the lowest of (i) the applicable March Conversion Price as in effect on the applicable conversion date of the applicable Alternate Conversion (as defined in the March AIR Notes), (ii) the greater of (x) the Floor Price and (y) 80% of the VWAP (as defined in the March AIR Notes) of the Common Stock as of the trading day immediately preceding the delivery of the applicable conversion notice, (iii) the greater of (x) the Floor Price and (y) 80% of the VWAP of the Common Stock as of the trading day of the delivery of the applicable conversion notice, (iv) the greater of (x) the Floor Price and (y) 80% of the VWAP of the Common Stock as of the trading day immediately preceding the date that an event of default under the March AIR Notes occurs, and (v) the greater of (x) the Floor Price and (y) 80% of the average of the three lowest daily VWAPs in the twenty trading day period immediately prior to the delivery of the applicable conversion notice.
The March AIR Notes accrue interest at the rate of 8.0% per annum, which shall automatically be increased to 18.0% per annum in the event of an event of default. The principal and accrued interest on the March AIR Notes are payable in equal monthly installments (each, an “Installment”) on each Installment Date (as defined in the March AIR Notes) commencing on the earlier of April 30, 2025 and the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Each Installment is payable in cash, provided, however, that if on any Installment Date, no failure to meet the Equity Conditions (as defined in the March AIR Notes) exits pursuant to the March AIR Notes, we may pay all or a portion of the Installment with shares of Common Stock. The portion of any Installment paid with Common Stock shall be based on the Installment Conversion Price. “Installment Conversion Price” means the lower of (i) the March Conversion Price and (ii) the greater of (x) the Floor Price and (y) 95% of the average of the five lowest trading prices in the ten trading days immediately prior to exercise of the Additional Investment Right.
The March AIR Notes may not be converted and shares of Common Stock may not be issued under the March AIR Notes if, after giving effect to the conversion or issuance, such Investor together with its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the outstanding Common Stock.
The March AIR Notes contain customary events of default. If an event of default occurs, the Investors may require us to redeem all or any portion of the March AIR Notes (including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon), in cash.
2
Additionally, the March AIR Warrants are exercisable immediately and will expire five years after the date of issuance and may be exercised on a cashless basis in the event of a fundamental transaction involving us or if the resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the March AIR Warrants is not covered by an effective registration statement (or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use). The Exercise Price is subject to full ratchet antidilution protection, subject to certain price limitations required by Nasdaq rules and regulations and certain exceptions, upon any subsequent transaction at a price lower than the Exercise Price then in effect and standard adjustments in the event of certain events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications, mergers or other corporate changes.
The gross proceeds to us from the March AIR Issuance before expenses were $1,500,000. We intend to use the net proceeds from the March AIR Issuance for working capital and general corporate purposes.
April 2025 AIR Notes and AIR Warrants
On April 27, 2025 certain of the Investors exercised their Additional Investment Right under the Purchase Agreement to purchase additional Notes and Warrants. In connection with the exercise of the Additional Investment Right, on April 28, 2025, the Company issued to certain Investors (i) an aggregate of $1,444,444.44 principal amount (the “April Principal Amount”) senior convertible promissory notes, carrying a 10% original issue discount (as amended and restated, each, a “April AIR Note” and, collectively, the “April AIR Notes”, and the April AIR Notes together with the March AIR Notes, the “AIR Notes”), convertible into shares of Common Stock, and (ii) accompanying warrants (the “April AIR Warrants” and, together with the March AIR Warrants, the “AIR Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “April AIR Issuance”, and together with the March AIR Issuance, the “AIR Issuances”).
The April AIR Warrants are exercisable for up to an aggregate of 100% of the shares (the “April Warrant Shares”, and together with the March Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock that each April AIR Note is convertible into as of the issuance date, at an exercise price of $0.8261 per share (the “April Exercise Price”), which represents 95% of the average of the five lowest trading prices in the ten trading days prior to the date the Investors exercised their Additional Investment Right, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
The April AIR Notes mature 18 months from the date of issuance (the “April AIR Term”). We may elect to extend the April AIR Term by up to an additional six months, so long as (i) at least 33% of the April Principal Amount has been repaid or converted into shares of Common Stock, and (ii) no event of default has occurred and is continuing nor has any event constituting a material adverse effect occurred. If we elect to exercise such April AIR Term extension right, we shall pre-pay to the holders of the AIR Notes six months of monthly interest based on the then-outstanding April Principal Amount under the April AIR Notes.
The April AIR Notes are convertible, at the option of the respective Investors, at any time, in whole or in part, into such number of shares of Common Stock (the “April Conversion Shares”, and together with the March Conversion Shares, the “Conversion Shares”) equal to the April Principal Amount of the April AIR Notes outstanding plus all accrued and unpaid interest at a conversion price equal to $0.8261 per share (the “April Conversion Price”), which represents 95% of the average of the five lowest trading prices in the ten trading days prior to the date the Investors exercised their Additional Investment Right, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The April Conversion Price is subject to full ratchet antidilution protection and certain exceptions upon any subsequent transaction at a price lower than the April Conversion Price then in effect, subject to the Floor Price, and standard adjustments in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, combinations or similar events. The Installment payments under the April AIR Notes commence on the earlier of May 30, 2025 and the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
Additionally, the April AIR Warrants are exercisable immediately and will expire five years after the date of issuance and may be exercised on a cashless basis in the event of a fundamental transaction involving us or if the resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the April AIR Warrants is not covered by an effective registration statement (or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use). The April Exercise Price is subject to full ratchet antidilution protection, subject to certain price limitations required by Nasdaq rules and regulations and certain exceptions, upon any subsequent transaction at a price lower than the April Exercise Price then in effect and standard adjustments in the event of certain events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications, mergers or other corporate changes.
The April AIR Notes and April AIR Warrants otherwise contain the same terms and conditions as the March AIR Notes and March AIR Warrants, respectively.
The gross proceeds to us from the April AIR Issuance before expenses were $1,300,000. We intend to use the net proceeds from the April AIR Issuance for working capital and general corporate purposes.
As previously disclosed, pursuant to a registration rights agreement with the Investors (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), we agreed to file a registration statement (the “AIR Registration Statement”) to register the shares of Common Stock underlying the AIR Notes and AIR Warrants following the closing of any AIR Issuance. The registration statement to which this prospectus forms a part is being filed is intended to satisfy our obligation to file the AIR Registration Statement pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.
The offers and sales of the securities in the AIR Issuances were made pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Such offers and sales were made only to “accredited investors” under Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and without any form of general solicitation and with full access to any information requested by such investors regarding us or the securities offered and issued in the AIR Issuances.

October Warrants
As previously disclosed, on October 31, 2024, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Investors, pursuant to which we agreed to issue to the Investors the Original Warrants. The exercise price of the Original Warrants is subject to full ratchet antidilution protection, subject to certain price limitations required by Nasdaq rules and regulations and certain exceptions, upon any subsequent transaction at a price lower than such exercise price then in effect and standard adjustments in the event of certain events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications, mergers or other corporate changes. Any adjustment in the exercise price of such Original Warrants will be accompanied by a corresponding increase in the number of shares underlying such Original Warrants such that the aggregate exercise price for such Original Warrants after such adjustment is equal to such aggregate exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment. The registration statement to which this prospectus forms a part registers, among others, shares of Common Stock that may be issuable pursuant to the Original Warrants as a result of the adjustment of such Original Warrants’ exercise price and underlying shares.
The offer and sale of the Original Warrants was made pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Such offer and sale was made only to “accredited investors” under Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and without any form of general solicitation and with full access to any information requested by such investors regarding us or the securities offered and issued in such issuance.
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the “JOBS Act.” As an emerging growth company, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These include, but are not limited to:
| ● | not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; |
| ● | not being required to comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditors’ report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements; |
| ● | reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation; and |
| ● | exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. |
4
Additionally, under the JOBS Act, an emerging growth company can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We irrevocably elected to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards, and, therefore, are not subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as public companies who were not emerging growth companies.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which the market value of our Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of June 30th of that fiscal year, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of $1.235 billion or more during such fiscal year (as indexed for inflation), (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in the prior three-year period, and (iv) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of equity securities of Newborn (our predecessor) in its initial public offering, or December 31, 2025.
We are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Exchange Act, and have elected to take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies. To the extent that we continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting company” as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company, certain of the exemptions available to us as an “emerging growth company” may continue to be available to us, including exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements. We will continue to be a “smaller reporting company” until we have $250 million or more in public float (based on our Common Stock) measured as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or, in the event we have no public float (based on our Common Stock) or a public float (based on our Common Stock) that is less than $700 million, annual revenues of $100 million or more during the most recently completed fiscal year.
Corporate Information
We were formed on November 10, 2020 under the name “NB Merger Corp.” as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newborn Acquisition Corp. (“Newborn”) for the purpose of effecting a business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Newborn and Nuvve Corporation (“Nuvve Corp.”). On March 19, 2021, we consummated the Business Combination in accordance with the terms of that certain Merger Agreement, dated as of November 11, 2020, and amended as of February 20, 2021, between us, Newborn, Nuvve Corp., Nuvve Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of ours (“Merger Sub”), and Ted Smith, an individual, as the representative of the stockholders of Nuvve Corp. (the “Merger Agreement”). Prior to the Business Combination, Newborn was a publicly traded special purpose acquisition corporation, we were a wholly owned subsidiary of Newborn, and Nuvve Corp. was a private operating company. On the closing date of the Business Combination, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) Newborn reincorporated to Delaware through the merger of Newborn with and into our company, with our company surviving as the publicly traded entity (the “Reincorporation Merger”), and (ii) immediately after the Reincorporation Merger, we acquired Nuvve Corp. through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Nuvve Corp., with Nuvve Corp. surviving as the wholly-owned subsidiary of ours (the “Acquisition Merger”). As a result, we became a publicly traded holding company with Nuvve Corp. as our operating subsidiary. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, we changed our name to “Nuvve Holding Corp.”
Nuvve Corp. was incorporated in Delaware on October 15, 2010 under the name “Nuvve Corporation.” Nuvve was formed for the purpose of providing, directly and through business ventures with its partners, its V2G technology platform that enables EV batteries to store and resell unused energy back to the local electric grid and provide other grid services. Newborn was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on April 12, 2019 under the name “Newborn Acquisition Corp.” Newborn was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

Sales of a substantial number of our securities in the public market by our existing securityholders could cause the price of our shares of Common Stock to fall.
Sales of a substantial number of our shares of Common Stock on the public market by our existing securityholders, or the perception that those sales might occur, could depress the market price of our shares of Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that such sales may have on the prevailing market price of our shares of Common Stock.

All shares of Common Stock offered by this prospectus are being registered for resale by the Selling Stockholders. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of these securities. The Selling Stockholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to the resale of the shares of Common Stock.

The shares of Common Stock being offered by the Selling Stockholders are (i) those issuable to the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the terms of the AIR Notes and AIR Warrants; and (ii) those issuable to the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the terms of the Original Warrants. For additional information regarding the issuances of the AIR Notes and AIR Warrants and the Original Warrants, see “Private Placements” above. We are registering the shares of Common Stock in order to permit the Selling Stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the Notes, the Original Warrants, the AIR Notes and the AIR Warrants, or as otherwise set forth below, the Selling Stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.
The table below lists the Selling Stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of our shares of Common Stock by each of the Selling Stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each Selling Stockholder, including its ownership of the Notes, the Original Warrants, the AIR Notes and the AIR Warrants, as of March 31, 2025, assuming the conversion or exercise, as applicable, of the Notes, the Original Warrants, the AIR Notes and the AIR Warrants held by the Selling Stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on conversion or exercise, as applicable.
The third column lists the shares of Common Stock being offered by this prospectus by the Selling Stockholders.
In accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement with the Selling Stockholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the AIR Notes and AIR Warrants, determined as if the AIR Notes and AIR Warrants were converted or exercised, as applicable, in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part 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 conversion or exercise, as applicable, in the AIR Notes and AIR Warrants. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.
Under the terms of the AIR Notes and AIR Warrants, a Selling Stockholder may not be issued shares under the AIR Notes or AIR Warrants to the extent such issuance would cause such Selling Stockholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock which would exceed 9.99% of our then outstanding shares of Common Stock following such conversion or exercise, as applicable. The number of shares in the second column does not reflect this limitation. The Selling Stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Each Selling Stockholder 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 Nasdaq or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:
| ● | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
| ● | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| ● | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| ● | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| ● | privately negotiated transactions; |
| ● | settlement of short sales made in compliance with the Purchase Agreement; |
| ● | in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security; |
| ● | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
| ● | a combination of any such methods of sale; or |
| ● | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM 2440.
12
In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short, subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the securities. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until 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 of common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the shares of common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
