REOFFER PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following information below is only a summary of more detailed information included elsewhere in, or incorporated by reference in, this reoffer prospectus and should be read together with the information contained or incorporated by reference in other parts of this reoffer prospectus. This summary highlights selected information about us and this offering. This summary may not contain all of the information that may be important to you. Before making a decision to invest in our Common Stock, you should read carefully all of the information contained in or incorporated by reference into this reoffer prospectus, including the information set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in this reoffer prospectus, as well as the documents incorporated herein by reference, which are described under “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Information Incorporated by Reference” in this reoffer prospectus.

Our Company

General

JanOne Inc. (formerly known as Appliance Recycling Centers of America, Inc.) and subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” the “Company,” or “JanOne”) is focused on being a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company committed to finding treatments for conditions that cause severe pain and bringing drugs to market with non-addictive pain-relieving properties and, as of Mid-May, 2024 is broadening its focus to fintech, as well.

In connection this broadening of our focus, on May 10, 2024, we executed and delivered a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Alt 5 Sigma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Alt 5”), pursuant to which we acquired all of the capital stock of Alt 5, which, as of the May 15, 2024, closing of that transaction, became a first-tier, wholly-owned subsidiary of ours and Alt 5’s subsidiaries became our second-tier wholly-owned subsidiaries.

In that transaction, we issued approximately 1,799,100 shares of our common stock and 34,207 shares of our newly designated Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Stock”) to the legacy equity holders of the capital stock of Alt 5. The shares of our common stock represented approximately 19.9% of our then-issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Each of the issued shares of our common stock was valued at $4.14, which was the Nasdaq NOCP on Thursday, May 9, 2024, the day immediately prior to the date on which the parties executed and delivered the Merger Agreement. The Series B Stock is not redeemable, is not convertible, directly or indirectly, into any class or series of our capital stock, does not provide for the payment or accrual of any dividends, has no non-statutorily mandated voting rights, and provides for a liquidation preference of $250 per share under certain limited circumstances.

ALT 5 is a fintech that provides next generation blockchain-powered technologies to enable a migration to a new global financial paradigm. ALT 5, through its subsidiaries, offers two main platforms to its customers: “ALT 5 Pay” and “ALT 5 Prime.” ALT 5 Pay is a crypto-currency payment gateway that enables registered and approved global merchants to accept and make crypto-currency payments or to integrate the ALT 5 Pay payment platform into their application or operations using the plugin with WooCommerce and or ALT 5 Pay’s checkout widgets and APIs. Merchants have the option to convert to fiat currency (US Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros, and British Pounds Sterling) automatically or to receive their payment in digital assets. ALT 5 Prime is an electronic over-the-counter trading platform that enables registered and approved customers to buy and sell digital assets. Customers can purchase digital assets with fiat and, equally, can sell digital assets and receive fiat. ALT 5 Prime is available through a browser-based access, mobile phone application named “ALT 5 Pro” that can be downloaded from the Apple App Store, from Google Play, through ALT 5 Prime’s FIX API, as well as through Broadridge Financial Solutions’ NYFIX gateway for approved customers.

With respect to our commitment to finding treatments for conditions that cause severe pain and bringing drugs to market with non-addictive pain-relieving properties, our first drug candidate is a treatment for Peripheral Artery Disease (“PAD”), a condition that can cause severe pain and affects over 8.5 million people in the United States. The Company intends to champion new initiatives—digital technologies, educational advocacy, and revolutionary painkilling drugs that address what we believe is a multibillion dollar a year market—to help combat the opioid crisis, which claims tens of thousands of lives each year.

On December 28, 2022, we entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Soin Purchase Agreement”) with Soin Therapeutics, LLC. Under the Soin Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired Soin Therapeutics and its LDN product, now known as JAN123. JAN123 is a novel formulation of 2.0 mg of LDN that results in a biphasic release of the product. The release properties of JAN123 provide for an immediate release of less than half the product with a slow, sustained release of the remaining product. Importantly, the rapid release of LDN has been reported to lead to vivid and lucid unpleasant dreams, which should be eliminated with the formulation of JAN123. Initially, a single tablet of JAN123 will be administered orally, once a day before sleep, with eventual titration up to two tablets (4 mg) before sleep.

The name of the Company, JanOne Inc., was strategically chosen to express the start of a new day in the fight against the opioid epidemic. January one is the first day of a New Year—universally considered as a day of optimism, resolution, and hope. JanOne stands by its strategic commitment to fresh thinking and innovative means to assist in ending the worst drug crisis in our nation’s history.

Through March 8, 2023, the Company operated its legacy businesses through its Recycling Subsidiaries, consisting of: (a) ARCA Recycling, Inc., a California corporation (“ARCA Recycling”), (b) ARCA Canada Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Ontario, Canada (“ARCA Canada”), and (c) Customer Connexx, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Connexx”). ARCA Recycling and ARCA Canada recycle major household appliances in North America by providing turnkey appliance recycling and replacement services for utilities and other sponsors of energy efficiency programs. Connexx is a company that provides call center services for recycling businesses. On March 9, 2023, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Recycling Purchase Agreement”) with VM7 Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“VM7”), under which it agreed to acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of the Recycling Subsidiaries. The principal of VM7 is Virland A. Johnson, our Chief Financial Officer.

On March 12, 2018, we reincorporated in the State of Nevada. Effective as of September 10, 2019, we changed our name to JanOne Inc.

THE OFFERING

The following summary contains basic information about this offering. The summary is not intended to be complete. You should read the full text and more specific details contained elsewhere in this reoffer prospectus.

The discussion and table above are based on 11,671,092 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of May 23, 2024, and excludes, as of that date, the following:

RISK FACTORS

Investing in shares of our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider and evaluate all of the information contained in this reoffer prospectus and in the documents that we incorporate by reference into this reoffer prospectus before you decide to accept any shares of our Common Stock offered hereby. In particular, you should carefully consider and evaluate the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” in this reoffer prospectus or in the documents incorporated by reference herein. Any of the risks and uncertainties set forth in this reoffer prospectus, as updated by annual, quarterly, and other reports and documents that we file with the SEC and incorporate by reference into this reoffer prospectus, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the value of our Common Stock.

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of Our Common Stock

The market price for our Common Stock is particularly volatile given our status as a company with a small and thinly traded public float, lack of profits, and the need for capital to fund our biopharmaceutical product development, which could and has led to wide fluctuations in our share price.

The market for our Common Stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to the shares of larger, more established companies that have large public floats, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than the shares of such larger, more established companies for the indefinite future, although such fluctuations may not reflect a material change to our financial condition or operations during any such period. For example, from May 24, 2023 through May 22, 2024, the reported sale price of our Common Stock has fluctuated between $1.12 and $3.31 per share. Such volatility can be attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our Common Stock is, compared to the shares of such larger, more established companies, sporadically and thinly traded. The price for our Common Stock could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand. Secondly, we are a speculative or “risky” investment due to our lack of profits to date. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a larger, more established company that has a large public float. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our Common Stock regardless of our operating performance.

In addition to being highly volatile, our Common Stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are beyond our control, including, but not limited to:

In addition, if the market for biopharmaceutical stocks or the stock market in general experiences loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition, or operating results. The trading price of our shares might also decline in reaction to events that affect other companies in our industry, even if these events do not directly affect us. Each of these factors, among others, could harm the value of our Common Stock. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

We will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from this offering, and we may not use the proceeds effectively.

Subject to certain limited exceptions set forth in the offering documents, we intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. We have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds of this offering. You will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether such proceeds are being used in a manner agreeable to you. You must rely on our judgment regarding the application of the net proceeds of this offering, which may be used for corporate purposes that do not improve our profitability or increase the price of our shares of Common Stock. Such proceeds may also be placed in investments that do not produce income or that lose value. The failure to use such funds by us effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow.

Substantial future sales of shares of our Common Stock could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline.

We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the near future to continue our planned operations. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that such sales may have on the prevailing market price of our shares.

We have financed our operations, and we expect to continue to finance our operations, acquisitions, if any, and the development of strategic relationships by issuing equity, warrants and/or convertible securities, which could significantly reduce the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. Further, any additional financing that we secure may require the granting of rights, preferences, or privileges senior to, or pari passu with, those of our Common Stock. Additionally, we may acquire other technologies or finance strategic alliances by issuing our equity or equity-linked securities, which may result in additional dilution. Any issuances by us of equity securities may be at or below the prevailing market price of our Common Stock and in any event may have a dilutive impact on your ownership interest, which could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline. We may also raise additional funds through the incurrence of debt or the issuance or sale of other securities or instruments senior to our shares of Common Stock. The holders of any securities or instruments we may issue may have rights superior to the rights of our holders of our Common Stock. If we experience dilution from issuance of additional securities and we grant superior rights to new securities over common stockholders, it may negatively impact the trading price of our shares of Common Stock.

We do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future; you should not buy our stock if you expect dividends.

We have never paid a dividend on our Common Stock. The determination of whether to pay dividends on our Common Stock in the future will depend on several factors, including without limitation, our earnings, financial condition, and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as our board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our Common Stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates. We currently intend to retain our future earnings to support operations and to finance expansion and, therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

We could issue preferred stock without stockholder approval with the effect of diluting then current stockholder interests and impairing their voting rights; and provisions in our charter documents could discourage a takeover that stockholders may consider favorable.

Our articles of incorporation, as amended, authorize the issuance of up to 2,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors. 259,729 shares of our Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock” are authorized, of which 122,480 shares are issued and outstanding, leaving 137,249 shares of that series that are authorized, but unissued. 200,000 shares of our Series S Convertible Preferred Stock are authorized, of which 100,000 shares are issued and outstanding, leaving 100,000 shares of that series that are authorized, but unissued. 34,250 shares of our “Series B Preferred Stock” are authorized, of which 34,208 shares are issued and outstanding, leaving 42 shares of that series that are authorized, but unissued. 3,200 shares of our “Series M Preferred Stock are authorized, of which 3,200 shares are issued and outstanding, leaving -0-shares of that series that are authorized, but unissued. 5,000 shares of our “Series V Convertible Preferred Stock” are authorized, of which 5,000 shares are issued and outstanding, leaving -0- shares of that series that are authorized, but unissued. We have 1,497,821 shares of “blank check” preferred stock remaining available for designation and issuance. Our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue one or more series of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights that could dilute the interest of, or impair the voting power of, our common stockholders. The issuance of a series of preferred stock could be used as a method of discouraging, delaying, or preventing a change in control of us. For example, it would be possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of our company.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business, or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our Common Stock adversely, our Common Stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our shares of Common Stock will be influenced by many factors, including without limitation, the research reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our market, or our competitors. As of the date of this reoffer prospectus, no analysts cover us, but, if any were to cover us and then adversely change their recommendation regarding our Common Stock, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, our share price would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover us were to cease coverage of our Company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our Common Stock price or trading volume to decline.

Significant dilution will occur if outstanding options or warrants are exercised, or restricted stock unit grants vest.

As of May 23, 2024, we had 114,000 shares of our Common Stock underlying outstanding stock options and 1,922,188 shares of our Common Stock underlying outstanding warrants. If outstanding stock options or warrants are exercised or if shares of our Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, shares of our Series S Convertible Preferred Stock, or shares of our Series V Convertible Preferred Stock are converted, dilution will occur to our stockholders, which may be significant.

We may not be able to maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market.

Our Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other requirements including, without limitation, a requirement that our closing bid price be at least $1.00 per share and net stockholders’ equity of not less than $2.5 million. If we fail to continue to meet all applicable continued listing requirements for The Nasdaq Global Market in the future and Nasdaq determines to delist our Common Stock, the delisting could adversely affect the market liquidity of our Common Stock, our ability to obtain financing to repay debt, and fund our operations.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The shares of our Common Stock that may be sold under this reoffer prospectus will be sold for the respective accounts of each of the Selling Securityholders listed herein (which includes our executive officers and directors). Accordingly, we will not realize any proceeds from the sale of the shares of our Common Stock. All expenses of the registration of the shares will be paid by us. See “Selling Securityholders” and “Plan of Distribution.”

SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

The following table sets forth, as of May 23, 2024 (the “Reoffer Prospectus Date”), the names of the Selling Securityholders, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Selling Securityholders, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Selling Securityholders may offer pursuant to this reoffer prospectus, and the number of shares of Common Stock that would be beneficially owned by the Selling Securityholders after the sale of their shares offered hereby (assuming that the Selling Securityholders sell all of their shares covered by this reoffer prospectus). The percentage of beneficial ownership after the offered shares of Common Stock are sold is calculated based on 11,671,092 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Reoffer Prospectus Date. Each share of Common Stock has the right to one vote per share.

The shares of our Common Stock offered by the Selling Securityholders hereunder include shares of our Common Stock issued pursuant to the 2023 Plan, as described in the Registration Statement of which this reoffer prospectus is a part. When we refer to the “Selling Securityholders” in this reoffer prospectus, we mean the persons listed in the table below, and the pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees, successors, designees, and others who later come to hold any of the Selling Securityholders’ interest in their shares of Common Stock other than through a public sale.

The number of shares of our Common Stock to be offered or resold under this reoffer prospectus by each Selling Securityholder, and any other person with whom he or she is acting in concert for the purpose of selling those securities, may not exceed, during any three-month period, the amount specified in Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act.

Because the Selling Securityholders may offer all or part of the shares of our Common Stock that they own pursuant to the offering contemplated by this reoffer prospectus, and because such offering is not being underwritten on a firm commitment basis, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares that will be held upon termination of this offering. The number of shares in the column ‘‘Number of Shares Being Offered’’ represents all of the shares of our Common Stock that each Selling Securityholder may offer under this reoffer prospectus. We do not know how long the Selling Securityholders will hold any or all of the shares before selling them or how many shares they will sell. The shares of our Common Stock offered by this reoffer prospectus may be offered from time to time by the Selling Securityholders listed below. We cannot assure you that any of the Selling Securityholders will offer for sale or sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock offered by them by this reoffer prospectus.

* Less than one percent.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the shares of our Common Stock covered by this reoffer prospectus to permit the Selling Securityholders to conduct public secondary trading of their shares from time to time after the date of this reoffer prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds of the sale of their shares offered by this reoffer prospectus. The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Securityholders from the sale of their shares will be the purchase price thereof less any discounts and commissions. We will not pay any brokers’ or underwriters’ discounts and commissions in connection with the registration and sale of the shares of our Common Stock covered by this reoffer prospectus. The Selling Securityholders reserve the right to accept and, together with their respective agents, to reject, any proposed purchases of their shares to be made directly or through agents.

The shares of our Common Stock offered by this reoffer prospectus may be sold from time to time to purchasers:

Any underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents who participate in the sale or distribution of the Selling Securityholders’ shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act. As a result, any discounts, commissions, or concessions received by any such broker-dealer or agents who are deemed to be underwriters will be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Underwriters are subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and may be subject to certain statutory liabilities under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. We will make copies of this reoffer prospectus available to the Selling Securityholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements, or understandings between any of the Selling Securityholders and any underwriter, broker-dealer, or agent regarding the sale of the Selling Securityholders’ shares.

These sales may be effected in one or more transactions:

These transactions may include block transactions or crosses. Crosses are transactions in which the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade.

At the time a particular offering of the shares of our Common Stock is made for a Selling Securityholder, a further reoffer prospectus or prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the name of the Selling Securityholders, the aggregate amount of their shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including, to the extent required, (1) the name or names of any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, (2) any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the Selling Securityholders, and (3) any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed to be paid to broker-dealers.

The Selling Securityholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner, and size of each resale or other transfer. There can be no assurance that the Selling Securityholders will sell any or all of their shares under this reoffer prospectus. Further, we cannot assure you that the Selling Securityholders will not transfer, distribute, devise, or gift any of their shares by other means not described in this reoffer prospectus. In addition, any of the Selling Securityholders’ shares covered by this reoffer prospectus that qualify for sale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this reoffer prospectus. The Selling Securityholders’ shares covered by this reoffer prospectus may be sold in some states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the Selling Securityholders’ shares covered by this reoffer prospectus may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and complied with.

The Selling Securityholders and any other person participating in the sale of their Shares will be subject to the Exchange Act. The Exchange Act rules include, without limitation, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Selling Securityholders’ shares and any other person. In addition, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of such shares to engage in market-making activities with respect to the particular shares being distributed. This may affect the marketability of such shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to such shares.

The Selling Securityholders may indemnify any broker or underwriter that participates in transactions involving the sale of the Shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
