    Registration No. 333-287241

     

    PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

    (To Prospectus dated June 4, 2025)

     

    Up to $8,500,000

    Shares of Class B Common Stock

     

     

    CleanCore Solutions, Inc.

     

    This prospectus supplement relates to the issuance and sale of shares of our class B common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $8,500,000 from time to time solely through or to Curvature Securities, LLC, or the Sales Agent. These sales, if any, will be made pursuant to the terms of a sales agreement between us and the Sales Agent, dated June 20, 2025, or the Sales Agreement.

     

    The compensation to the Sales Agent will be 3.0% of the gross sales price of all shares sold through the Sales Agent from time to time under the Sales Agreement. Sales of shares of our class B common stock, if any, under this prospectus supplement may be made in sales deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Sales Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell on our behalf any shares to be offered by us under the Sales Agreement. The net proceeds from any sales under this prospectus supplement will be used as described under “Use of Proceeds” in this prospectus supplement. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in any escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

     

    In connection with the sale of shares of our class B common stock on our behalf, the Sales Agent will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and the compensation of the Sales Agent will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have also agreed to provide indemnification and contributions to the Sales Agent against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

     

    Pursuant to a separate agreement between us and Boustead Securities, LLC, or Boustead, Boustead will also receive cash payments equal to 2.0% of the gross sales price of all shares of class B common stock sold through the Sales Agent from time to time under the Sales Agreement. There are no arrangements for Boustead to participate in any manner in this offering and Boustead has no relationship with the Sales Agent in connection with this offering.

     

    The aggregate market value of our outstanding shares of class B common stock held by non-affiliates as of June 19, 2025 is $25,509,313, based on 9,627,727 shares of class B common stock outstanding, of which 5,877,722 are held by non-affiliates, and a closing price on NYSE American of $4.34 on June 9, 2025, which is within 60 days of the date of this prospectus supplement. Upon any sale of shares of class B common stock under this prospectus supplement pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3, in no event will we sell shares pursuant to this prospectus supplement having a value exceeding more than one-third of our public float in any 12-month period so long as our public float remains below $75,000,000. In the event that subsequent to the date of this prospectus supplement the aggregate market value of our outstanding class B common stock held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $75,000,000, such one-third limitation on sales shall not apply to sales subsequently made pursuant to this prospectus supplement. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we have not sold any securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 during the 12-calendar month period that ends on and includes the date hereof.

     

     

     

     

    The class B common stock is listed on NYSE American under the symbol “ZONE.” As of June 18, 2025, the last reported sales price of the class B common stock on NYSE American was $3.23.

     

    We have two classes of authorized common stock - class A common stock and class B common stock. The rights of the holders of our class A common stock and class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion. Each share of class A common stock is entitled to ten votes per share and is convertible into one share of class B common stock. Each share of class B common stock is entitled to one vote per share. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, there were 1,875,795 shares of class A common stock issued and outstanding, all of which are held by Clayton Adams, our founder and Chief Executive Officer. Since Mr. Adams is able to exercise at least a majority of our voting power, we are deemed a “controlled company” under the rules of NYSE American. As a “controlled company,” we are eligible to utilize certain exemptions from the corporate governance requirements of NYSE American, although we do not intend to avail ourselves of these exemptions. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock—We are a “controlled company” under the rules of NYSE American and as a result, we may choose to exempt our company from certain corporate governance requirements that could have an adverse effect on our public stockholders” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, or the Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement.

     

    We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, under applicable U.S. federal securities laws, and are eligible for reduced public company reporting requirements. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock—We are subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than rules for companies that are not emerging growth companies, and our stockholders could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies.” in the Annual Report.

     

    Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-4 of this prospectus supplement and the other documents that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus.

     

    NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT OR THE ACCOMPANYING PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

    ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

     

    On May 13, 2025, we filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, a registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-287241) utilizing a shelf registration process relating to the securities described in this prospectus supplement. Under this shelf registration process, we have registered to sell, from time to time, up to $150 million in the aggregate of shares of class B common stock, shares of preferred stock, debt securities, depositary shares, warrants, subscription rights, purchase contracts and units.

     

    We provide information to you about this offering of our class B common stock in two separate documents that are bound together, including: (1) this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific details regarding this offering; and (2) the accompanying base prospectus, which provides general information, some of which may not apply to this offering. Generally, when we refer to this “prospectus supplement,” we are referring to both documents combined.

    We further note that the representations, warranties and covenants made by us in any agreement that is filed as an exhibit to any document that is incorporated by reference herein were made solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, including, in some cases, for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to such agreement, and should not be deemed to be a representation, warranty or covenant to you. Moreover, such representations, warranties or covenants were accurate only as of the date when made. Accordingly, such representations, warranties and covenants should not be relied on as accurately representing the current state of our affairs.

You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein and any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering is accurate only as of the date of those respective documents. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. You should read this prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein and any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering in their entirety before making an investment decision.

    Our Company

     

    Overview

     

    We specialize in the development and manufacturing of cleaning products that produce pure aqueous ozone for professional, industrial, or home use. We have a patented nanobubble technology using aqueous ozone that we believe is highly effective in cleaning, sanitizing, and deodorizing surfaces and high-touch areas.

     

    Ozone has been used in water treatment facilities to remove pathogens from water for decades. However, ozone was not safe for traditional cleaning because the gas alone can be harmful when inhaled. In recent years, ozone has been found to become a powerful cleaning solution if infused into tap water, which then creates a solution called aqueous ozone. Once the ozone is added into the water, the resulting solution is safe to handle yet continues to hold the effective cleaning and oxidizing components of ozone.

     

    Our product offerings utilize a patented technology that we believe produces an enhanced aqueous ozone solution that requires no additives, filters, or advanced chemicals. We believe that we are the only company that has an aqueous ozone solution that is produced in the form of nanobubbles. Nanobubbles are the nanometer-sized (one billionth of a meter) gaseous cavities in a liquid solution. The common micro sized bubbles have larger diameters which causes them to rise quickly to the surface of an aqueous solution as compared to the smaller bubbles. Since nanobubbles have no natural buoyancy, they remain underwater, where each tiny, negatively charged bubble is attracted to positively charged pollutants and harmful toxins. This union causes the nanobubbles to release ozone which extinguishes pathogens and slowly breaks down the cell walls of mold, germs, and other residues. Further, a smaller size of nanobubbles is also more effective as it has a higher density of ozone and is able to provide a more thorough surface coverage, which destroys a higher number of contaminants.

     

    Our pure aqueous ozone product is a natural cleaner, sanitizer, and deodorizer produced through the infusion of ozone into water using electricity. The use of this ozone solution has been proven effective in eliminating germs, viruses, bacteria, allergens, and molds. Aqueous ozone technology has been tested and previously destroyed pathogens including E. Coli, Staphylococcus, Listeria, and Salmonella. The solution cleans hard surfaces, floors, carpets, upholstery, and food contact surfaces. In addition, the aqueous ozone solution works to significantly deodorize smells.

     

    We offer products and solutions that are marketed for janitorial and sanitation, ice machine cleaning, laundry, and industrial industries. Our products are used in many types of environments including retail establishments, distribution centers, factories, warehouses, restaurants, schools and universities, airports, healthcare, food service, and commercial buildings such as offices, malls, and stores.

     

    Our mission is to become a leader in creating safe, clean spaces that are free from any chemical residue or skin irritants. We are currently expanding our distributor network, improving our production processes, and proving the effectiveness of our products in restaurants, airports, and hotels.

    Corporate Information

     

    We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 23, 2022 under the name CC Acquisition Corp. for the sole purpose of acquiring substantially all of the assets of CleanCore Solutions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or CleanCore LLC, TetraClean Systems, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or TetraClean, and Food Safety Technology L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, or Food Safety. On November 21, 2022, we changed our name from CC Acquisition Corp. to CleanCore Solutions, Inc.

     

    On October 17, 2022, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with CleanCore LLC, TetraClean, Food Safety and Burlington Capital, LLC, or Burlington, the majority owner of these entities, pursuant to which we acquired substantially all of the assets of CleanCore LLC, TetraClean and Food Safety for a total purchase price of $5,000,000, consisting of $2,000,000 in cash and the issuance of a promissory note in the principal amount of $3,000,000.

     

    The predecessor of CleanCore LLC was CleanCore Technologies, LLC, which was formed in 2014 and was wholly owned by Center Ridge Holdings, LLC. CleanCore LLC was formed in 2019 by Burlington and Walker Water, LLC d/b/a O-Z Tech. In 2019, prior to the formation of CleanCore LLC, Center Ridge Holdings, LLC transferred substantially all of the assets of CleanCore Technologies, LLC to Burlington, which then transferred such assets to CleanCore LLC. TetraClean and Food Safety were created to focus on industrial and food safety, respectively. CleanCore LLC, TetraClean, and Food Safety were all under majority control by Burlington prior to the acquisition by CC Acquisition Corp. All discussions in this report regarding our business prior to the acquisition reflect the combined business of CleanCore LLC, TetraClean, and Food Safety, our predecessor companies. Prior to the acquisition, we had no operations other than operations relating to our incorporation and organization.

     

    Our principal executive offices are located at 5920 S 118th Circle, Omaha, NE 68137, and our telephone number is (877) 860-3030. We maintain a website at www.cleancoresol.com.

    RISK FACTORS

     

    An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with the other information contained in this prospectus supplement, the information set forth under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the Annual Report, which is incorporated herein by reference except to the extent that the risk factors stated therein are amended, restated and updated hereby, and in other filings we make with the SEC, before purchasing our securities. We have listed below (not necessarily in order of importance or probability of occurrence) what we believe to be the most significant risk factors applicable to us, but they do not constitute all of the risks that may be applicable to us. Any of the following factors could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects, and could result in a partial or complete loss of your investment. Some statements in this prospectus supplement and in the reports incorporated herein by reference, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

     

    Risks Relating to this Offering

     

    Investors may experience immediate and substantial dilution in the book value per share of the class B common stock you purchase.

     

    The offering price per share in this offering may exceed the net tangible book value per share outstanding prior to this offering. Because the sales of the shares offered hereby will be made directly into the market, the prices at which we sell these shares will vary and these variations may be significant. Purchasers of the shares we sell, as well as holders of our existing shares, will experience significant dilution if we sell shares at prices significantly below the price at which they invested. As of March 31, 2025, our pro forma net tangible book value (deficit) was approximately $(1,236,306), or $(0.13) per share. After giving effect to the sale of our class B common stock in the maximum aggregate offering amount of $8,500,000 at an assumed offering price of $3.23 per share, which was the last reported sale price of our class B common stock on the NYSE American on June 18, 2025, and after deducting estimated offering commissions and expenses payable by us, our net tangible book value as of March 31, 2025 would have been approximately $6,663,643, or $0.54 per share. This represents an immediate dilution of $2.69 in net tangible book value per share to purchasers of our class B common stock in this offering and an immediate accretion in as-adjusted net tangible book value of approximately $0.67 per share to our existing stockholders. See “Dilution” below for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you may incur in connection with this offering.

     

    We have broad discretion to determine how to use the funds raised in this offering, and may use them in ways that may not enhance our operating results or the price of our class B common stock.

     

    Our management will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this offering, and we could spend the proceeds from this offering in ways our stockholders may not agree with or that do not yield a favorable return, if at all. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. We expect to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, repayment or refinancing of debt. If we do not invest or apply the proceeds from this offering in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which could cause our stock price to decline.

     

    S-4

     

     

    Future sales or issuances of our class B common stock in the public markets, or the perception of such sales, could depress the trading price of our class B common stock.

     

    The sale of a substantial number of shares of our class B common stock or other equity-related securities in the public markets, or the perception that such sales could occur, could depress the market price of our class B common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We may sell large quantities of our class B common stock at any time pursuant to this prospectus supplement or in one or more separate offerings. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of class B common stock or other equity-related securities would have on the market price of our class B common stock.

     

    The actual number of shares we will issue under the Sales Agreement, at any one time or in total, is uncertain.

     

    Subject to certain limitations in the Sales Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a sales notice to the Sales Agent at any time throughout the term of the Sales Agreement. The number of shares that are sold by the Sales Agent after delivering a sales notice will fluctuate based on the market price of our class B common stock during the sales period and limits we set with the Sales Agent. Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate based on the market price of our class B common stock during the sales period, it is not possible at this stage to predict the number of shares that will be ultimately issued.

     

    The class B common stock offered hereby will be sold in “at-the-market offerings,” and investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.

     

    Investors who purchase shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold, and there is no minimum or maximum sales price. Investors may experience a decline in the value of their shares as a result of share sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.

     

    You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

     

    In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our class B common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our class B common stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering, which could include warrants or preferred stock. We may sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders.

    CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     

    This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus contain certain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “could,” “would,” “project,” “plan,” “potentially,” “likely,” and similar expressions and variations thereof are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Those statements appear in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated herein and therein by reference, particularly in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of our management that are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. You are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.

     

    Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein after we distribute this prospectus supplement, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.

     

    USE OF PROCEEDS

     

    We may issue and sell shares of our class B common stock having aggregate sale proceeds of up to $8,500,000 from time to time. We will pay certain expenses associated with the registration of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus supplement, as described in the section titled “Plan of Distribution”.

     

    We currently expect that the net proceeds of this offering, if any, after deducting the Sales Agent’s commissions and our estimated offering expenses, will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to this offering, the actual total offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. There can be no assurance that we will be able to sell any shares under or fully utilize the Sales Agreement. 

     

    Pursuant to a separate agreement between us and Boustead Securities, LLC, or Boustead, Boustead will also receive cash payments equal to 2.0% of the gross sales price of all shares of class B common stock sold through the Sales Agent from time to time under the Sales Agreement. There are no arrangements for Boustead to participate in any manner in this offering and Boustead has no relationship with the Sales Agent in connection with this offering.

     

    Although we have identified some potential uses of the net proceeds to be received from this offering, we cannot specify these uses with certainty and we may use the net proceeds for other purposes with which you do not agree. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of this offering.

     

    The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the factors described under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, as well as the amount of cash used in our operations. We may find it necessary or advisable to use the net proceeds for other purposes, and we will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds.

    DILUTION

     

    If you invest in our class B common stock in this offering, your ownership will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the offering price per share and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of class B common stock immediately after this offering. Dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors is the amount by which the offering price paid by the purchasers of the shares sold in this offering exceeds the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering. Net tangible book value per share is determined at any date by subtracting our total liabilities from the total book value of our tangible assets and dividing the difference by the number of shares of class B common stock deemed to be outstanding at that date.

     

    As of March 31, 2025, our net tangible book value (deficit) was approximately $(1,963,556), or $(0.23) per share. After giving effect to the issuance of (i) stock awards for 610,288 shares of class B common stock, (ii) 331,657 shares of class B common stock upon the exercise of warrants for proceeds of $403,171 and (iii) 307,701 shares of class B common stock upon the conversion of debt, our pro forma net tangible book value (deficit) was approximately $(1,236,306), or $(0.13) per share.

     

    After giving effect to the sale of our class B common stock in the maximum aggregate offering amount of $8,500,000 at an assumed offering price of $3.23 per share, which was the last reported sale price of our class B common stock on the NYSE American on June 18, 2025, and after deducting estimated offering commissions and expenses payable by us, our net tangible book value as of March 31, 2025 would have been approximately $6,663,643, or $0.54 per share. This represents an immediate dilution of $2.69 in net tangible book value per share to purchasers of our class B common stock in this offering and an immediate accretion in as-adjusted net tangible book value of approximately $0.67 per share to our existing stockholders, as illustrated in the following table.

     

    Assumed offering price per share          $3.23 
    Historical net tangible book value (deficit) per share as of March 31, 2025  $(0.23)     
    Increase per share attributable to the pro forma adjustments described above   0.10      
    Pro forma net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2025   (0.13)     
    Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to new investors purchasing shares in this offering  $0.67      
    Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering        0.54 
    Dilution per share to new investors purchasing shares in this offering       $2.69 

     

    The table and discussion above exclude:

     

    ●1,875,795 shares of class B common stock issuable upon the conversion of 1,875,795 shares of class A common stock;

     

    ●1,129,375 shares of class B common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options granted under our 2022 equity incentive plan at a weighted average exercise price of $3.00 per share;

     

    ●710,529 shares of class B common stock issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units granted under our 2022 equity incentive plan;

     

    ●2,155,146 shares of class B common stock that are reserved for future issuance under our 2022 equity incentive plan;

     

    ●521,352 shares of class B common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants at a weighted average exercise price of $2.27 per share; and

     

    ●warrants for the purchase of 160,824 shares of class B common stock that we have agreed to issue to Boustead upon closing of this offering.

    PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     

    We have entered into the Sales Agreement with the Sales Agent, pursuant to which we may issue and sell shares of class B common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $8,500,000 from time to time solely through or to the Sales Agent acting as sales agent or principal. A copy of the Sales Agreement will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The shares registered for sale under this prospectus supplement are subject to sale under the Sales Agreement.

     

    Upon delivery of a placement notice and subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Sales Agent may sell shares of our class B common stock by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act. We or the Sales Agent may terminate the Sales Agreement and the offering of our shares upon notice.

     

    We will pay the Sales Agent in cash, upon each sale of shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement, a commission equal to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of our shares. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions, offering expenses, and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. We have agreed to reimburse the Sales Agent in the amount not to exceed an aggregate $50,000 for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including but not limited to the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of its legal counsel) incurred in connection with the Sales Agreement, and for the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses related to quarterly maintenance of the Sales Agreement (including but not limited to the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of its legal counsel) on a quarterly basis in an amount not to exceed $5,000 per quarter (and no more than $20,000 per fiscal year).

     

    Pursuant to a separate agreement, Boustead will also receive cash payments equal to 2.0% of the gross sales price of all shares of class B common stock sold through the Sales Agent from time to time under the Sales Agreement. There are no arrangements for Boustead to participate in any manner in this offering and Boustead has no relationship with the Sales Agent in connection with this offering.

     

    We estimate that the total expenses for this offering, assuming that the maximum amount of shares that may be sold in this offering is sold, and excluding compensation payable to the Sales Agent and Boustead and certain expenses reimbursable to the Sales Agent under the terms of the Sales Agreement, will be approximately $178,000. The remaining sales proceeds, after deducting any expenses payable by us and any transaction fees imposed by any governmental, regulatory, or self-regulatory organization in connection with the sales and any other fees incurred by the Sales Agent, will equal our net proceeds for the sale of shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement.

     

    Settlement for sales of shares will occur on the first Trading Day (as such term is defined in the Sales Agreement) following the date on which any sales are made, or on some other date that is agreed upon by us and the Sales Agent in connection with a particular transaction, in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement. Sales of shares as contemplated in this prospectus supplement will be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as we and the Sales Agent may agree upon.

     

    The Sales Agent will act as sales agent on a commercially reasonable efforts basis consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of NYSE American. In connection with the sale of shares on our behalf, the Sales Agent may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and the compensation of the Sales Agent will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts.

     

    S-8

     

     

    Indemnification

     

    We have agreed to indemnify the Sales Agent against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and liabilities arising from breaches of representations and warranties contained in the Sales Agreement. We have also agreed to contribute to payments the Sales Agent may be required to make in respect to such liabilities.

    Overview

     

    We specialize in the development and manufacturing of cleaning products that produce pure aqueous ozone for professional, industrial, or home use. We have a patented nanobubble technology using aqueous ozone that we believe is highly effective in cleaning, sanitizing, and deodorizing surfaces and high-touch areas.

     

    Ozone has been used in water treatment facilities to remove pathogens from water for decades. However, ozone was not safe for traditional cleaning because the gas alone can be harmful when inhaled. In recent years, ozone has been found to become a powerful cleaning solution if infused into tap water, which then creates a solution called aqueous ozone. Once the ozone is added into the water, the resulting solution is safe to handle yet continues to hold the effective cleaning and oxidizing components of ozone.

     

    Our product offerings utilize a patented technology that we believe produces an enhanced aqueous ozone solution that requires no additives, filters, or advanced chemicals. We believe that we are the only company that has an aqueous ozone solution that is produced in the form of nanobubbles. Nanobubbles are the nanometer-sized (one billionth of a meter) gaseous cavities in a liquid solution. The common micro sized bubbles have larger diameters which causes them to rise quickly to the surface of an aqueous solution as compared to the smaller bubbles. Since nanobubbles have no natural buoyancy, they remain underwater, where each tiny, negatively charged bubble is attracted to positively charged pollutants and harmful toxins. This union causes the nanobubbles to release ozone which extinguishes pathogens and slowly breaks down the cell walls of mold, germs, and other residues. Further, a smaller size of nanobubbles is also more effective as it has a higher density of ozone and is able to provide a more thorough surface coverage, which destroys a higher number of contaminants.

     

    Our pure aqueous ozone product is a natural cleaner, sanitizer, and deodorizer produced through the infusion of ozone into water using electricity. The use of this ozone solution has been proven effective in eliminating germs, viruses, bacteria, allergens, and molds. Aqueous ozone technology has been tested and previously destroyed pathogens including E. Coli, Staphylococcus, Listeria, and Salmonella. The solution cleans hard surfaces, floors, carpets, upholstery, and food contact surfaces. In addition, the aqueous ozone solution works to significantly deodorize smells.

     

    We offer products and solutions that are marketed for janitorial and sanitation, ice machine cleaning, laundry, and industrial industries. Our products are used in many types of environments including retail establishments, distribution centers, factories, warehouses, restaurants, schools and universities, airports, healthcare, food service, and commercial buildings such as offices, malls, and stores.

     

    Our mission is to become a leader in creating safe, clean spaces that are free from any chemical residue or skin irritants. We are currently expanding our distributor network, improving our production processes, and proving the effectiveness of our products in restaurants, airports, and hotels.

    The Securities That May Be Offered

     

    We may offer or sell class B common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, debt securities, warrants, subscription rights, purchase contracts and units in one or more offerings and in any combination. The aggregate offering price of the securities we sell pursuant to this prospectus will not exceed $150,000,000. Each time securities are offered with this prospectus, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will describe the specific amounts, prices and terms of the securities being offered and the net proceeds we expect to receive from that sale.

     

    The securities may be sold to or through underwriters, dealers or agents or directly to purchasers or as otherwise set forth in the section of this prospectus titled “Plan of Distribution.” Each prospectus supplement will set forth the names of any underwriters, dealers, agents or other entities involved in the sale of securities described in that prospectus supplement and any applicable fee, commission or discount arrangements with them.

     

    Class B Common Stock

     

    We may offer our class B common stock either alone or underlying other registered securities convertible into our class B common stock. Each holder of class B common stock is entitled to one vote per share. The holders of class B common stock have no preemptive rights.

     

    Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then-outstanding preferred stock, holders of class B common stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of legally available funds. We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our class B common stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our class B common stock in the near future. Any future determination to declare dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.

     

    Preferred Stock

     

    Our board of directors has the authority to issue preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each series and any of its qualifications, limitations or restrictions, in each case without further vote or action by our stockholders. Each series of preferred stock offered by us will be more fully described in the particular prospectus supplement that will accompany this prospectus, including redemption provisions, rights in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voting rights and rights to convert into class B common stock.

    Depositary Shares

     

    We may issue fractional shares of preferred stock that will be represented by depositary shares and depositary receipts. Each series of depositary shares or depositary receipts offered by us will be more fully described in the particular prospectus supplement that will accompany this prospectus, including redemption provisions, rights in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voting rights and rights to convert into class B common stock.

     

    Debt Securities

     

    We may offer secured or unsecured obligations in the form of one or more series of senior or subordinated debt. The senior debt securities and the subordinated debt securities are together referred to in this prospectus as the “debt securities.” The subordinated debt securities generally will be entitled to payment only after payment of our senior debt. Senior debt generally includes all debt for money borrowed by us, except debt that is stated in the instrument governing the terms of that debt to be not senior to, or to have the same rank in right of payment as, or to be expressly junior to, the subordinated debt securities. We may issue debt securities that are convertible into our class B common stock.

     

    The debt securities will be issued under an indenture between us and a trustee to be identified in an accompanying prospectus supplement. We have summarized the general features of the debt securities to be governed by the indenture in this prospectus and the form of indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We encourage you to read the indenture.

     

    Warrants

     

    We may offer warrants for the purchase of class B common stock, preferred stock, debt securities or depositary shares. We may offer warrants independently or together with other securities.

     

    Subscription Rights

     

    We may offer subscription rights to purchase our class B common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, depositary shares, warrants or units consisting of some or all of these securities. These subscription rights may be offered independently or together with any other security offered hereby and may or may not be transferable by the stockholder receiving the subscription rights in such offering.

     

    Purchase Contracts

     

    We may offer purchase contracts, including contracts obligating holders or us to purchase from the other a specific or variable number of securities at a future date or dates.

     

    Units

     

    We may offer units comprised of one or more of the other classes of securities described in this prospectus in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit.

    RISK FACTORS

     

    An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. The prospectus supplement applicable to each offering of our securities will contain a discussion of the risks applicable to an investment in our securities. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the specific factors discussed under the section in the applicable prospectus supplement titled “Risk Factors,” together with all of the other information contained or incorporated by reference in the prospectus supplement or appearing or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. You should also consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed under “Part I-Item 1A-Risk Factors” of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K that are incorporated herein by reference, as may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations.

     

    CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     

    This prospectus, each prospectus supplement and the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus and each prospectus supplement contain certain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “could,” “would,” “project,” “plan,” “potentially,” “likely,” and similar expressions and variations thereof are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Those statements appear in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated herein and therein by reference, particularly in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of our management that are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. You are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.

     

    Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein after we distribute this prospectus, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.

     

    USE OF PROCEEDS

     

    We will retain broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds to us from the sale of our securities under this prospectus. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, we currently expect to use the net proceeds that we receive from this offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire, license or invest in complementary products, technologies or businesses. The expected use of net proceeds of this offering represents our current intentions based on our present plans and business conditions. We cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the closing of this offering. Pending these uses, we may invest the net proceeds of this offering in short- and intermediate-term, interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government.

    DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

     

    The following description, together with the additional information we include in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus. When we offer to sell a particular series of debt securities, we will describe the specific terms of the series in a supplement to this prospectus. We will also indicate in the supplement to what extent the general terms and provisions described in this prospectus apply to a particular series of debt securities.

Debt securities may be our senior, senior subordinated or subordinated obligations and, unless otherwise specified in a supplement to this prospectus, the debt securities will be our direct, unsecured obligations and may be issued in one or more series.

     

    The debt securities will be issued under an indenture between us and a trustee to be identified in an accompanying prospectus supplement. We have summarized select portions of the indenture below. The summary is not complete.

    If we denominate the purchase price of any of the debt securities in a foreign currency or currencies or a foreign currency unit or units, or if the principal of and any premium and interest on any series of debt securities is payable in a foreign currency or currencies or a foreign currency unit or units, we will provide you with information on the restrictions, elections, general tax considerations, specific terms and other information with respect to that issue of debt securities and such foreign currency or currencies or foreign currency unit or units in the applicable prospectus supplement.

     

    Transfer and Exchange

     

    Each debt security will be represented by either one or more global securities registered in the name of a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, which we refer to as the depositary, or a nominee of the depositary (we will refer to any debt security represented by a global debt security as a “book-entry debt security”), or a certificate issued in definitive registered form (we will refer to any debt security represented by a certificated security as a “certificated debt security”) as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Except as set forth under the heading “Global Debt Securities and Book-Entry System” below, book-entry debt securities will not be issuable in certificated form.

     

    Certificated Debt Securities

     

    You may transfer or exchange certificated debt securities at any office we maintain for this purpose in accordance with the terms of the indenture. No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of certificated debt securities, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with a transfer or exchange.

     

    You may effect the transfer of certificated debt securities and the right to receive the principal of, premium and interest on certificated debt securities only by surrendering the certificate representing those certificated debt securities and either reissuance by us or the trustee of the certificate to the new holder or the issuance by us or the trustee of a new certificate to the new holder.

     

    Global Debt Securities and Book-Entry System

     

    Each global debt security representing book-entry debt securities will be deposited with, or on behalf of, the depositary, and registered in the name of the depositary or a nominee of the depositary.

     

    Covenants

     

    We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement any restrictive covenants applicable to any issue of debt securities.

     

    No Protection in the Event of a Change of Control

     

    Unless we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not contain any provisions which may afford holders of the debt securities protection in the event we have a change in control or in the event of a highly leveraged transaction (whether or not such transaction results in a change in control) which could adversely affect holders of debt securities.

     

    Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets

     

    We may not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets to any person, which we refer to as a successor person, unless:

     

    ●we are the surviving corporation or the successor person (if other than us) is a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of any U.S. domestic jurisdiction and expressly assumes our obligations on the debt securities and under the indenture; and

     

    ●immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no default or event of default, shall have occurred and be continuing.

     

    Notwithstanding the above, any of our subsidiaries may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties to us.

     

    7

     

     

    Events of Default

     

    “Event of default” means with respect to any series of debt securities, any of the following:

     

    ●default in the payment of any interest upon any debt security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days (unless the entire amount of the payment is deposited by us with the trustee or with a paying agent prior to the expiration of the 30-day period);

     

    ●default in the payment of principal of any security of that series at its maturity;

     

    ●default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty by us in the indenture (other than a covenant or warranty that has been included in the indenture solely for the benefit of a series of debt securities other than that series), which default continues uncured for a period of 60 days after we receive written notice from the trustee, or we and the trustee receive written notice from the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series as provided in the indenture;

     

    ●certain voluntary or involuntary events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of us; and

     

    ●any other event of default provided with respect to debt securities of that series that is described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

     

    No event of default with respect to a particular series of debt securities (except as to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) necessarily constitutes an event of default with respect to any other series of debt securities. The occurrence of certain events of default or an acceleration under the indenture may constitute an event of default under certain indebtedness of ours or our subsidiaries outstanding from time to time.

     

    We will provide the trustee written notice of any default or event of default within 30 days of becoming aware of the occurrence of such default or event of default, which notice will describe in reasonable detail the status of such default or event of default and what action we are taking or propose to take in respect thereof.

     

    If an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, by a notice in writing to us (and to the trustee if given by the holders), declare to be due and payable immediately the principal of (or, if the debt securities of that series are discount securities, that portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all debt securities of that series. In the case of an event of default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal (or such specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding debt securities will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder of outstanding debt securities. At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to debt securities of any series has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may rescind and annul the acceleration if all events of default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal and interest, if any, with respect to debt securities of that series, have been cured or waived as provided in the indenture. We refer you to the prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities that are discount securities for the particular provisions relating to acceleration of a portion of the principal amount of such discount securities upon the occurrence of an event of default.

     

    The indenture provides that the trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture unless the trustee receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any cost, liability or expense which might be incurred by it in performing such duty or exercising such right or power. Subject to certain rights of the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee with respect to the debt securities of that series.

     

    No holder of any debt security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy under the indenture, unless:

     

    ●that holder has previously given to the trustee written notice of a continuing event of default with respect to debt securities of that series; and

     

    8

     

     

    ●the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request, and offered indemnity or security satisfactory to the trustee, to the trustee to institute the proceeding as trustee, and the trustee has not received from the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series a direction inconsistent with that request and has failed to institute the proceeding within 60 days.

     

    Notwithstanding any other provision in the indenture, the holder of any debt security will have an absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of the principal of, premium and any interest on that debt security on or after the due dates expressed in that debt security and to institute suit for the enforcement of payment.

     

    The indenture requires us, within 120 days after the end of our fiscal year, to furnish to the trustee a statement as to compliance with the indenture. If a default or event of default occurs and is continuing with respect to the securities of any series and if it is known to a responsible officer of the trustee, the trustee shall send to each securityholder of the securities of that series notice of a default or event of default within 90 days after it occurs or, if later, after a responsible officer of the trustee has knowledge of such default or event of default. The indenture provides that the trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any series of any default or event of default (except in payment on any debt securities of that series) with respect to debt securities of that series if the trustee determines in good faith that withholding notice is in the interest of the holders of those debt securities.

     

    Modification and Waiver

     

    We and the trustee may modify, amend or supplement the indenture or the debt securities of any series without the consent of any holder of any debt security:

     

    ●to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

     

    ●to comply with covenants in the indenture described above under the heading “Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets”;

     

    ●to provide for uncertificated securities in addition to or in place of certificated securities;

     

    ●to add guarantees with respect to debt securities of any series or secure debt securities of any series;

     

    ●to surrender any of our rights or powers under the indenture;

     

    ●to add covenants or events of default for the benefit of the holders of debt securities of any series;

     

    ●to comply with the applicable procedures of the applicable depositary;

     

    ●to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of debt securities;

     

    ●to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of debt securities of any series as permitted by the indenture;

     

    ●to effect the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the debt securities of any series and to add to or change any of the provisions of the indenture to provide for or facilitate administration by more than one trustee; or

     

    ●to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

     

    We may also modify and amend the indenture with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series affected by the modifications or amendments. We may not make any modification or amendment without the consent of the holders of each affected debt security then outstanding if that amendment will:

     

    ●reduce the amount of debt securities whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

     

    ●reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any debt security;

     

    9

     

     

    ●reduce the principal of or premium on or change the fixed maturity of any debt security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation with respect to any series of debt securities;

     

    ●reduce the principal amount of discount securities payable upon acceleration of maturity;

     

    ●waive a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on any debt security (except a rescission of acceleration of the debt securities of any series by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of that series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

     

    ●make the principal of or premium or interest on any debt security payable in currency other than that stated in the debt security;

     

    ●make any change to certain provisions of the indenture relating to, among other things, the right of holders of debt securities to receive payment of the principal of, premium and interest on those debt securities and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment and to waivers or amendments; or

     

    ●waive a redemption payment with respect to any debt security.

     

    Except for certain specified provisions, the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive our compliance with provisions of the indenture. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all the debt securities of such series waive any past default under the indenture with respect to that series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or any interest on any debt security of that series; provided, however, that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from the acceleration.

     

    Defeasance of Debt Securities and Certain Covenants in Certain Circumstances

     

    Legal Defeasance

     

    The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, we may be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the debt securities of any series (subject to certain exceptions). We will be so discharged upon the irrevocable deposit with the trustee, in trust, of money and/or U.S. government obligations or, in the case of debt securities denominated in a single currency other than U.S. dollars, government obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency, that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money or U.S. government obligations in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank to pay and discharge each installment of principal, premium and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities.

     

    This discharge may occur only if, among other things, we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel stating that we have received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling or, since the date of execution of the indenture, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred.

     

    Defeasance of Certain Covenants

     

    The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, upon compliance with certain conditions:

     

    ●we may omit to comply with the covenant described under the heading “Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets” and certain other covenants set forth in the indenture, as well as any additional covenants which may be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement; and

     

    ●any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the debt securities of that series.

     

    10

     

     

    We refer to this as covenant defeasance. The conditions include:

     

    ●depositing with the trustee money and/or U.S. government obligations or, in the case of debt securities denominated in a single currency other than U.S. dollars, government obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency, that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank to pay and discharge each installment of principal of, premium and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities;

     

    ●such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the indenture or any other agreement to which we are a party;

     

    ●no default or event of default with respect to the applicable series of debt securities shall have occurred or is continuing on the date of such deposit; and

     

    ●delivering to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that we have received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling or, since the date of execution of the indenture, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and related covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit and related covenant defeasance had not occurred.

     

    No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees or Stockholders

     

    None of our past, present or future directors, officers, employees or stockholders, as such, will have any liability for any of our obligations under the debt securities or the indenture or for any claim based on, or in respect or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. By accepting a debt security, each holder waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release is part of the consideration for the issue of the debt securities. However, this waiver and release may not be effective to waive liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws, and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

     

    Governing Law

     

    The indenture and the debt securities, including any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the indenture or the securities, will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

     

    The indenture will provide that we, the trustee and the holders of the debt securities (by their acceptance of the debt securities) irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to the indenture, the debt securities or the transactions contemplated thereby.

     

    The indenture will provide that any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon the indenture or the transactions contemplated thereby may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City of New York or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the City of New York, and we, the trustee and the holder of the debt securities (by their acceptance of the debt securities) irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. The indenture will further provide that service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail (to the extent allowed under any applicable statute or rule of court) to such party’s address set forth in the indenture will be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. The indenture will further provide that we, the trustee and the holders of the debt securities (by their acceptance of the debt securities) irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or other proceeding in the courts specified above and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim any such suit, action or other proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

    DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES

     

    General

     

    We may, at our option, elect to offer fractional shares of preferred stock, or depositary shares, rather than full shares of preferred stock. If we do, we will issue to the public receipts, called depositary receipts, for depositary shares, each of which will represent a fraction, to be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, of a share of a particular series of preferred stock. Unless otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement, each owner of a depositary share will be entitled, in proportion to the applicable fractional interest in a share of preferred stock represented by the depositary share, to all the rights and preferences of the preferred stock represented by the depositary share. Those rights include dividend, voting, redemption, conversion and liquidation rights.

     

    The preferred stock underlying the depositary shares will be deposited with a bank or trust company selected by us to act as depositary under a deposit agreement between us, the depositary and the holders of the depositary receipts. The depositary will be the transfer agent, registrar and dividend disbursing agent for the depositary shares.

     

    The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued pursuant to the depositary agreement. Holders of depositary receipts agree to be bound by the deposit agreement, which requires holders to take certain actions such as filing proof of residence and paying certain charges.

     

    The summary of terms of the depositary shares contained in this prospectus is not complete. You should refer to the form of the deposit agreement, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and the certificate of designation for the applicable series of preferred stock that are, or will be, filed with the SEC.

     

    Dividends and Other Distributions

     

    The depositary will distribute all cash dividends or other cash distributions, if any, received in respect of the preferred stock underlying the depositary shares to the record holders of depositary shares in proportion to the numbers of depositary shares owned by those holders on the relevant record date. The relevant record date for depositary shares will be the same date as the record date for the underlying preferred stock.

     

    If there is a distribution other than in cash, the depositary will distribute property (including securities) received by it to the record holders of depositary shares, unless the depositary determines that it is not feasible to make the distribution. If this occurs, the depositary may, with our approval, adopt another method for the distribution, including selling the property and distributing the net proceeds from the sale to the holders.

     

    Liquidation Preference

     

    If a series of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares has a liquidation preference, in the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us, holders of depositary shares will be entitled to receive the fraction of the liquidation preference accorded each share of the applicable series of preferred stock, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

     

    Withdrawal of Shares

     

    Unless the related depositary shares have been previously called for redemption, upon surrender of the depositary receipts at the office of the depositary, the holder of the depositary shares will be entitled to delivery, at the office of the depositary to or upon his or her order, of the number of whole shares of preferred stock and any money or other property represented by the depositary shares. If the depositary receipts delivered by the holder evidence a number of depositary shares in excess of the number of depositary shares representing the number of whole shares to be withdrawn, the depositary will deliver to the holder at the same time a new depositary receipt evidencing the excess number of depositary shares. In no event will the depositary deliver fractional shares upon surrender of depositary receipts. Holders of preferred stock thus withdrawn may not thereafter deposit those shares under the deposit agreement or receive depositary receipts evidencing depositary shares therefor.

     

    Redemption of Depositary Shares

     

    Whenever we redeem preferred stock held by the depositary, the depositary will redeem as of the same redemption date the number of depositary shares representing preferred stock so redeemed, so long as we have paid in full to the depositary the redemption price of the preferred stock to be redeemed plus an amount equal to any accumulated and unpaid dividends on the preferred stock to the date fixed for redemption. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the redemption price and any other amounts per share payable on the preferred stock multiplied by the fraction of a share represented by one depositary share. If less than all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or pro rata or by any other equitable method as may be determined by the depositary.

     

    12

     

     

    After the date fixed for redemption, depositary shares called for redemption will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights of the holders of depositary shares will cease, except the right to receive the monies payable upon redemption and any money or other property to which the holders of the depositary shares were entitled upon redemption upon surrender to the depositary of the depositary receipts evidencing the depositary shares.

     

    Voting the Preferred Stock

     

    Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of the preferred stock are entitled to vote, the depositary will mail the information contained in the notice of meeting to the record holders of the depositary receipts. The record date for the depositary receipts relating to the preferred stock will be the same date as the record date for the preferred stock. Each record holder of the depositary shares on the record date will be entitled to instruct the depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the number of shares of preferred stock represented by that holder’s depositary shares. The depositary will endeavor, insofar as practicable, to vote the number of shares of preferred stock represented by the depositary shares in accordance with those instructions, and we will agree to take all action that may be deemed necessary by the depositary in order to enable the depositary to do so. The depositary will not vote any preferred stock except to the extent that it receives specific instructions from the holders of depositary shares representing that number of shares of preferred stock.

     

    Charges of the Depositary

     

    We will pay all transfer and other taxes and governmental charges arising solely from the existence of the depositary arrangements. We will pay charges of the depositary in connection with the initial deposit of the preferred stock and any redemption of the preferred stock. Holders of depositary receipts will pay transfer, income and other taxes and governmental charges and such other charges (including those in connection with the receipt and distribution of dividends, the sale or exercise of rights, the withdrawal of the preferred stock and the transferring, splitting or grouping of depositary receipts) as are expressly provided in the deposit agreement to be for their accounts. If these charges have not been paid by the holders of depositary receipts, the depositary may refuse to transfer depositary shares, withhold dividends and distributions and sell the depositary shares evidenced by the depositary receipt.

     

    Amendment and Termination of the Deposit Agreement

     

    The form of depositary receipt evidencing the depositary shares and any provision of the deposit agreement may be amended by agreement between us and the depositary. However, any amendment that materially and adversely alters the rights of the holders of depositary shares, other than fee changes, will not be effective unless the amendment has been approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding depositary shares. The deposit agreement may be terminated by the depositary or us only if:

     

    ●all outstanding depositary shares have been redeemed; or

     

    ●there has been a final distribution of the preferred stock in connection with our dissolution and such distribution has been made to all the holders of depositary shares.

     

    Resignation and Removal of Depositary

     

    The depositary may resign at any time by delivering to us notice of its election to do so, and we may remove the depositary at any time. Any resignation or removal of the depositary will take effect upon our appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment. The successor depositary must be appointed within 60 days after delivery of the notice of resignation or removal and must be a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States and having the requisite combined capital and surplus as set forth in the applicable agreement.

     

    Notices

     

    The depositary will forward to holders of depositary receipts all notices, reports and other communications, including proxy solicitation materials received from us, that are delivered to the depositary and that we are required to furnish to the holders of the preferred stock. In addition, the depositary will make available for inspection by holders of depositary receipts at the principal office of the depositary, and at such other places as it may from time to time deem advisable, any reports and communications we deliver to the depositary as the holder of preferred stock.

     

    Limitation of Liability

     

    Neither we nor the depositary will be liable if either is prevented or delayed by law or any circumstance beyond its control in performing its obligations. Our obligations and those of the depositary will be limited to performance in good faith of our and its duties thereunder. We and the depositary will not be obligated to prosecute or defend any legal proceeding in respect of any depositary shares or preferred stock unless satisfactory indemnity is furnished. We and the depositary may rely upon written advice of counsel or accountants, on information provided by persons presenting preferred stock for deposit, holders of depositary receipts or other persons believed to be competent to give such information and on documents believed to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

     

    13

     

     

    DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

     

    We may issue warrants to purchase debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares or class B common stock. We may offer warrants separately or together with one or more additional warrants, debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares or class B common stock, or any combination of those securities in the form of units, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. If we issue warrants as part of a unit, the applicable prospectus supplement will specify whether those warrants may be separated from the other securities in the unit prior to the expiration date of the warrants. The applicable prospectus supplement will also describe the following terms of any warrants:

    ●the currency or currency units in which the offering price, if any, and the exercise price are payable;

    ●whether the warrants are to be sold separately or with other securities as parts of units;

     

    ●whether the warrants will be issued in definitive or global form or in any combination of these forms, although, in any case, the form of a warrant included in a unit will correspond to the form of the unit and of any security included in that unit;

     

    ●any applicable material U.S. federal income tax consequences;

     

    ●the identity of the warrant agent for the warrants and of any other depositaries, execution or paying agents, transfer agents, registrars or other agents;

    ●the designation, aggregate principal amount, currency and terms of any debt securities that may be purchased upon exercise of the warrants;

     

    ●if applicable, the designation and terms of the debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares or class B common stock with which the warrants are issued and the number of warrants issued with each security;

     

    ●if applicable, the date from and after which any warrants issued as part of a unit and the related debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares or class B common stock will be separately transferable;

     

    ●the number of shares of preferred stock, the number of depositary shares or the number of shares of class B common stock purchasable upon exercise of a warrant and the price at which those shares may be purchased;

    ●any additional terms of the warrants, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange or exercise of the warrants.

     

    14

     

     

    DESCRIPTION OF SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS

     

    We may issue subscription rights to purchase our class B common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, depositary shares, warrants or units consisting of some or all of these securities. These subscription rights may be offered independently or together with any other security offered hereby and may or may not be transferable by the stockholder receiving the subscription rights in such offering. In connection with any offering of subscription rights, we may enter into a standby arrangement with one or more underwriters or other purchasers pursuant to which the underwriters or other purchasers may be required to purchase any securities remaining unsubscribed for after such offering.

     

    The prospectus supplement relating to any subscription rights we offer, if any, will, to the extent applicable, include specific terms relating to the offering, including some or all of the following:

     

    ●the price, if any, for the subscription rights;

     

    ●the exercise price payable for our class B common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, depositary shares, warrants or units consisting of some or all of these securities upon the exercise of the subscription rights;

     

    ●the number of subscription rights to be issued to each stockholder;

     

    ●the number and terms of our class B common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, depositary shares, warrants or units consisting of some or all of these securities which may be purchased per each subscription right;

     

    ●the extent to which the subscription rights are transferable;

     

    ●any other terms of the subscription rights, including the terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of the subscription rights;

     

    ●the date on which the right to exercise the subscription rights shall commence, and the date on which the subscription rights shall expire;

     

    ●the extent to which the subscription rights may include an over-subscription privilege with respect to unsubscribed securities or an over-allotment privilege to the extent the securities are fully subscribed; and

     

    ●if applicable, the material terms of any standby underwriting or purchase arrangement which may be entered into by us in connection with the offering of subscription rights.

     

    The descriptions of the subscription rights in this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement are summaries of the material provisions of the applicable subscription right agreements. These descriptions do not restate those subscription right agreements in their entirety and may not contain all the information that you may find useful. We urge you to read the applicable subscription right agreements because they, and not the summaries, define your rights as holders of the subscription rights. For more information, please review the forms of the relevant subscription right agreements, which will be filed with the SEC promptly after the offering of subscription rights and will be available as described in the section of this prospectus titled “Where You Can Find More Information.”

    DESCRIPTION OF PURCHASE CONTRACTS

     

    The following description summarizes the general features of the purchase contracts that we may offer under this prospectus. Although the features we have summarized below will generally apply to any future purchase contracts we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any purchase contracts that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The specific terms of any purchase contracts may differ from the description provided below as a result of negotiations with third parties in connection with the issuance of those purchase contracts, as well as for other reasons. Because the terms of any purchase contracts we offer under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms we describe below, you should rely solely on information in the applicable prospectus supplement if that summary is different from the summary in this prospectus.

     

    We will incorporate by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part the form of any purchase contract that we may offer under this prospectus before the sale of the related purchase contract. We urge you to read any applicable prospectus supplement related to specific purchase contracts being offered, as well as the complete instruments that contain the terms of the securities that are subject to those purchase contracts. Certain of those instruments, or forms of those instruments, have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and supplements to those instruments or forms may be incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part from reports we file with the SEC.

     

    We may issue purchase contracts, including contracts obligating holders to purchase from us, and for us to sell to holders, a specific or variable number of our securities at a future date or dates. Alternatively, the purchase contracts may obligate us to purchase from holders, and obligate holders to sell to us, a specific or varying number of our securities.

     

    If we offer any purchase contracts, certain terms of that series of purchase contracts will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, including, without limitation, the following:

     

    ●the price of the securities or other property subject to the purchase contracts (which may be determined by reference to a specific formula described in the purchase contracts);

     

    ●whether the purchase contracts are issued separately, or as a part of units each consisting of a purchase contract and one or more of our other securities, including U.S. Treasury securities, securing the holder’s obligations under the purchase contract;

     

    ●any requirement for us to make periodic payments to holders or vice versa, and whether the payments are unsecured or pre-funded;

     

    ●any provisions relating to any security provided for the purchase contracts;

     

    ●whether the purchase contracts obligate the holder or us to purchase or sell, or both purchase and sell, the securities subject to purchase under the purchase contract, and the nature and amount of each of those securities, or the method of determining those amounts;

     

    ●whether the purchase contracts are to be prepaid or not;

     

    ●whether the purchase contracts are to be settled by delivery, or by reference or linkage to the value, performance or level of the securities subject to purchase under the purchase contract;

     

    ●any acceleration, cancellation, termination or other provisions relating to the settlement of the purchase contracts;

     

    ●a discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to the purchase contracts;

     

    ●whether the purchase contracts will be issued in fully registered or global form; and

     

    ●any other terms of the purchase contracts and any securities subject to such purchase contracts.

     

    16

     

     

    DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

     

    We may issue units comprising two or more securities described in this prospectus in any combination. For example, we might issue units consisting of a combination of debt securities and warrants to purchase class B common stock. The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the units that we may offer pursuant to this prospectus. The particular terms of the units and the extent, if any, to which the general terms and provisions may apply to the units so offered will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

     

    Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit also is the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. Units will be issued pursuant to the terms of a unit agreement, which may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately at any time or at any time before a specified date. A copy of the forms of the unit agreement and the unit certificate relating to any particular issue of units will be filed with the SEC each time we issue units, and you should read those documents for provisions that may be important to you. For more information on how you can obtain copies of the forms of the unit agreement and the related unit certificate, see the section of this prospectus titled “Where You Can Find More Information.”

     

    The prospectus supplement relating to any particular issuance of units will describe the terms of those units, including, to the extent applicable, the following:

     

    ●the designation and terms of the units and the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;

     

    ●any provision for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units; and

     

    ●whether the units will be issued in fully registered or global form.

     

    17

     

     

    PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     

    We may sell securities:

     

    ●through underwriters;

     

    ●through dealers;

     

    ●through agents;

     

    ●directly to purchasers; or

     

    ●through a combination of any of these methods of sale.

     

    In addition, we may issue the securities as a dividend or distribution or in a subscription rights offering to our existing securityholders.

     

    We may directly solicit offers to purchase securities or agents may be designated to solicit such offers. We will, in the prospectus supplement relating to such offering, name any agent that could be viewed as an underwriter under the Securities Act and describe any commissions that we must pay. Any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment or, if indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, on a firm commitment basis. This prospectus may be used in connection with any offering of our securities through any of these methods or other methods described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

     

    The distribution of the securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions:

     

    ●at a fixed price or prices that may be changed from time to time;

     

    ●at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

     

    ●at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

     

    ●at negotiated prices.

     

    Each prospectus supplement will describe the method of distribution of the securities and any applicable restrictions.

     

    The prospectus supplement with respect to the securities of a particular series will describe the terms of the offering of the securities, including the following:

     

    ●the name of the agent or any underwriters;

     

    ●the public offering or purchase price;

     

    ●if applicable, the names of any selling securityholders;

     

    ●any discounts and commissions to be allowed or paid to the agent or underwriters;

     

    ●all other items constituting underwriting compensation;

     

    ●any discounts and commissions to be allowed or paid to dealers; and

     

    ●any exchanges on which the securities will be listed.

     

    If any underwriters or agents are utilized in the sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered, we will enter into an underwriting agreement or other agreement with them at the time of sale to them, and we will set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to such offering the names of the underwriters or agents and the terms of the related agreement with them.

     

    18

     

     

    If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the securities in respect of which the prospectus is delivered, we will sell such securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell such securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by such dealer at the time of resale.

     

    If we offer securities in a subscription rights offering to our existing securityholders, we may enter into a standby underwriting agreement with dealers, acting as standby underwriters. We may pay the standby underwriters a commitment fee for the securities they commit to purchase on a standby basis. If we do not enter into a standby underwriting arrangement, we may retain a dealer-manager to manage a subscription rights offering for us.

     

    Agents, underwriters, dealers and other persons may be entitled under agreements that they may enter into with us to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

     

    If so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will authorize underwriters or other persons acting as our agents to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase securities from us pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on the date stated in the prospectus supplement. Each contract will be for an amount not less than, and the aggregate amount of securities sold pursuant to such contracts shall not be less nor more than, the respective amounts stated in the prospectus supplement. Institutions with whom the contracts, when authorized, may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and other institutions, but shall in all cases be subject to our approval. Delayed delivery contracts will not be subject to any conditions except that:

     

    ●the purchase by an institution of the securities covered under that contract shall not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of the jurisdiction to which that institution is subject; and

     

    ●if the securities are also being sold to underwriters acting as principals for their own account, the underwriters shall have purchased such securities not sold for delayed delivery.

     

    The underwriters and other persons acting as agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of delayed delivery contracts.

     

    Certain agents, underwriters and dealers, and their associates and affiliates may be customers of, have borrowing relationships with, engage in other transactions with, and/or perform services, including investment banking services, for us or one or more of our respective affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

     

    In order to facilitate the offering of the securities, any underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities or any other securities the prices of which may be used to determine payments on such securities. Specifically, any underwriters may over-allot in connection with the offering, creating a short position for their own accounts. In addition, to cover over-allotments or to stabilize the price of the securities or of any such other securities, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, the securities or any such other securities in the open market. Finally, in any offering of the securities through a syndicate of underwriters, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allowed to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing the securities in the offering if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed securities in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities above independent market levels. Any such underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time.

     

    Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. The applicable prospectus supplement may provide that the original issue date for your securities may be more than two scheduled business days after the trade date for your securities. Accordingly, in such a case, if you wish to trade securities on any date prior to the third business day before the original issue date for your securities, you will be required, by virtue of the fact that your securities initially are expected to settle in more than three scheduled business days after the trade date for your securities, to make alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

     

    The securities may be new issues of securities and may have no established trading market. The securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. We can make no assurance as to the liquidity of or the existence of trading markets for any of the securities.

     

    19

     

     

    LEGAL MATTERS
