Registration No. 333-273110

(To the Prospectus dated November 3, 2023)

Up to $15,000,000 of

Common Stock

We have entered into an at the market offering agreement (the “ATM Agreement”), with Titan Partners Group LLC, a division of American Capital Partners, LLC (“Titan”) dated August 5, 2025, relating to the sale of shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. In accordance with the terms of the ATM Agreement, we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $15,000,000 (the “Shares”) from time to time through or to Titan, acting as sales agent and/or principal.

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “SURG.” On July 30, 2025, the last reported sale price of our common stock was $2.72 per share.

Sales of shares of our common stock, if any, under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus will be made by any method permitted that is deemed an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including sales made directly on or through Nasdaq or any other existing trading market in the United States for our common stock, directly to Titan as principal, in privately negotiated transactions, in block transactions and/or in any other method permitted by law. If we and Titan agree on any method of distribution other than sales of shares of our common stock on or through Nasdaq or another existing trading market in the United States at market prices, we will file a further prospectus supplement providing all information about such offering as required by Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act. Under the ATM Agreement, Titan is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of securities, but Titan will act as our sales agent using commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in any escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

Titan will be entitled to compensation at a fixed commission rate of 3.0% of the gross proceeds of each sale of shares of our common stock. See “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page S-10 of this prospectus supplement for additional information regarding the compensation to be paid to Titan. In connection with the sale of our shares of common stock on our behalf, Titan will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and the compensation of Titan will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have also agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to Titan with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

As of the date of this prospectus supplement, the aggregate market value of our outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates was approximately $48,725,633 based on 20,411,549 shares of outstanding common stock, of which 14,205,724 shares are held by non-affiliates and 6,205,825 shares are held by affiliates, and a per share price of $3.43 per share, the closing price of our common stock on July 8, 2025, which is the highest closing sale price of our common stock on Nasdaq within the prior 60 days. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we have not offered and sold any shares of our common stock pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 to Form S-3 during the 12 calendar month period that ends on and includes the date hereof. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will we sell securities in a public primary offering with a value exceeding more than one-third of our “public float”, or approximately $16,241,877 as of the date hereof (the market value of our common stock held by our non-affiliates) in any 12-month period so long as our public float remains below $75,000,000.

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-5 of this prospectus supplement and on page 5 of the accompanying prospectus and under similar headings in other documents filed after the date hereof and incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus for a discussion of information that should be considered in connection with an investment in our common stock.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Our Company

About SurgePays, Inc.

SurgePays, Inc. (“SurgePays,” “we,” or the “Company”) is a telecommunications and financial technology company focused on delivering wireless connectivity and point-of-sale solutions to underserved and value-conscious communities across the United States. The Company’s mission is to enhance access to essential digital services where people live, shop, and work.

We operate through three primary business segments: (1) our MVNO wireless brands, (2) our MVNE enablement platform (HERO), and (3) our point-of-sale (POS) and fintech services. These businesses are supported through subsidiaries including SurgePhone Wireless, LLC, SurgePays Fintech, Inc., ECS Prepaid, LLC, and Torch Wireless, LLC, among others.

Corporate Vision and Objective

SurgePays aims to become the dominant service and software provider for independent retailers and the preferred wireless brand for underserved U.S. populations. By combining vertically integrated telecom services, retail-focused fintech, and distribution software, the Company is positioned to scale efficiently across multiple revenue streams. With a foundation rooted in a nationwide retail network, strategic carrier partnerships, and proprietary platforms, SurgePays is executing on a growth strategy to expand its subscriber base, enable partner MVNOs, and deepen retail penetration.

We are building a durable ecosystem at the intersection of wireless telecom, retail software, and fintech enablement. With a growing subscriber base, platform partnerships, and expanding retail footprint, the Company believes it is well-positioned to drive long-term value creation, cash flow generation, and scalable growth across multiple high-demand verticals.

Business Segments

1. MVNO Wireless Services

SurgePays operates as a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) through its two core brands:

SurgePays’ MVNO subscriber acquisition strategy includes both in-store and online enrollments, often facilitated through third-party enrollment partners and supported by in-house systems to streamline customer onboarding and device activation.

2. MVNE Platform – HERO

In late 2024, SurgePays launched its HERO platform, a full-stack mobile virtual network enabler (MVNE) system designed to support the launch and management of independent MVNOs. Through a strategic agreement with AT&T, the Company gained direct access to 4G LTE and 5G networks, enabling HERO to provide:

HERO operates on a scalable per-click revenue model and supports both traditional and subsidized wireless offerings. MVNO clients benefit from HERO’s turnkey, infrastructure-free deployment and rapid go-to-market capabilities. With multiple MVNOs launched and additional partners onboarding in 2025, the Company anticipates this platform will become a major contributor to high-margin, recurring revenue.

3. Point-of-Sale Software and Prepaid Services

SurgePays’ retail-facing segment includes prepaid top-ups, POS transaction software, and in-store marketing technology:

By embedding fintech services into local store ecosystems, SurgePays creates a powerful customer acquisition and data feedback loop. The Company’s retail software is compatible with thousands of independent merchant locations, positioning it to grow with minimal hardware friction.

Strategic Developments and Growth Outlook

Our current growth initiatives include:

Competitive Advantage and Market Position

SurgePays differentiates itself through:

The Company’s strategy focuses on owning the transaction point—whether it’s a prepaid top-up, a SIM activation, or a digital coupon redemption. This approach provides valuable data, improves margins, and reinforces customer stickiness at the local level.

Team

As of March 2025, SurgePays employs over 130 team members across customer service, software development, operations, and sales. The leadership team brings deep experience in telecom, retail distribution, and financial services. The Company operates with a long-term mindset focused on scalable infrastructure, recurring revenue, and operational efficiency.

Recent Developments

Convertible Note Issuance

On May 12, 2025, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Note Purchase Agreement with Funicular Funds, LP (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company issued a Senior Secured Convertible Note in the original principal amount of $6,999,999 (the “Note”). The transaction resulted in net cash proceeds of $6,000,000 to the Company and included the repurchase of 333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock from the Investor at $3.00 per share. These repurchased shares will be cancelled and retired, and the corresponding shares will be returned to the pool of authorized but unissued shares.

The Note is secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets pursuant to a Security and Pledge Agreement, and is fully guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company.

The Note accrues interest at a rate of 1.25% per month (15% per annum). Interest is payable monthly, either in cash or in-kind (“PIK Interest”) at the Company’s election. Beginning January 31, 2026, the Company is required to make monthly principal payments of $500,000, with the remaining balance due on the Note’s maturity date of May 12, 2027, unless earlier repaid, redeemed, or converted.

The Note includes an embedded conversion option, which permits the Investor to convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $4.00 per share. The conversion price is subject to down-round adjustment if the Company issues common stock (or equivalents) at a price below the then-current conversion price.

In connection with the issuance of the Note, the Company also issued warrants to purchase 700,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. The warrants are immediately exercisable and remain outstanding through May 12, 2030. The warrants contain standard features including cashless exercise rights and anti-dilution adjustments, including price-reset provisions similar to those in the Note.

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 prospectus supplement.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a significant degree of risk. Before you invest in our common stock, you should carefully consider the risk factors included in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the documents we incorporate by reference, in evaluating an investment in our common stock. Any of these risks and uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. If that occurs, the trading price of our common stock could decline materially and you could lose all or part of your investment. The risks described in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. Past financial and operational performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. Please also read carefully the section above entitled “Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information”.

RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING

The actual number of shares of common stock we will issue under the ATM Agreement, at any one time or in total, and the gross proceeds resulting from those sales is uncertain. 

Subject to certain limitations in the ATM Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to request Titan to sell on our behalf shares of common stock at any time throughout the term of the ATM Agreement, and Titan will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the shares. The number of shares that are sold by Titan after we request that sales be made will fluctuate based on the market price of our common stock during the sales period and limits we set with Titan. Because the price per share of our common stock sold will fluctuate based on the market price of our common stock during the sales period, it is not possible to predict the number of shares of common stock that will ultimately be issued by us under the ATM Agreement or the amount of gross proceeds to be raised in connection with those sales. In addition, investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase in this offering as a result of sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.

The 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 accordingly may experience different levels of dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand and the terms of the ATM Agreement, to vary the timing, prices and number of shares sold in this offering. In addition, subject to the final determination by our board of directors or any restrictions we may place in any applicable placement notice, there is no minimum or maximum sales price for shares to be sold in this offering. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase in this offering as a result of sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.

We have broad discretion in determining how to use the proceeds from this offering and we cannot assure you that we will be successful in spending the proceeds in ways that increase our profitability or market value, or otherwise yield favorable returns.

We plan to utilize net proceeds of this offering for the expansion of the Company’s Lifeline business, working capital and general corporate purposes. Nevertheless, we will have broad discretion in determining specific expenditures. You will be entrusting your funds to our management, upon whose judgment you must depend, with limited information concerning the purposes to which the funds will ultimately be applied. We may not be successful in spending the proceeds of this offering in ways which increase our profitability or market value, or otherwise yield favorable returns. See “Use of Proceeds” for additional information.

If you purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you may suffer immediate dilution of your investment.

The offering price per share of common stock in this offering may exceed the net tangible book value per share outstanding prior to this offering. Because the sales of the common stock 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 common stock we sell, as well as holders of our existing shares of common stock, will experience significant dilution if we sell common stock at prices significantly below the price at which they invested. For a more detailed discussion of the foregoing, please see the section entitled “Dilution” below. To the extent outstanding stock options or warrants are exercised, or our convertible notes are converted, there will be further dilution to new investors.

Future issuances or sales, or the potential for future issuances or sales, of our common stock may cause the trading price of our securities to decline and could impair our ability to raise capital through subsequent equity offerings.

In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer and issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares or other securities in any offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors in previous offerings, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in previous offerings. Further, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations, even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. In addition, the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, the conversion of the Note, or the settlement of outstanding restricted stock units would result in further dilution of your investment.

Because we do not currently intend to declare cash dividends on our shares of common stock in the foreseeable future, stockholders must rely on appreciation of the value of our common stock for any return on their investment.

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business. Additionally, our ability to pay dividends is limited by restrictions on our ability to pay dividends and make certain other restricted payments under the terms of our term loan. Accordingly, while payment of dividends rests within the discretion of our board of directors, no cash dividends on our common shares have been declared or paid by us and we have no intention of paying any such dividends in the foreseeable future. Any return to investors is expected to come, if at all, only from potential increases in the price of our common stock.

Sales of a significant number of shares of our common stock in the public markets, or the perception that such sales could occur, could depress the market price of our common stock. 

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public markets could depress the market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of our common stock would have on the market price of our common stock.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We may offer and sell shares of our common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $15,000,000 from time to time. The amount of proceeds we receive, if any, will depend on the actual number of shares of our common stock sold and the market price at which such shares are sold. There can be no assurance that we will be able to sell any shares or fully utilize the ATM Agreement with Titan as a source of financing. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the net proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock that we are offering may be up to approximately $14,385,000, after deducting commissions payable to Titan and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

We will have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock offered under this prospectus supplement. We presently intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of our shares of common stock for the expansion of the Company’s Lifeline business, working capital and general corporate purposes. In addition, we may pursue selective mergers and acquisitions in the future that we believe are accretive to the business, although no such acquisitions have been identified as of the date of this prospectus supplement. We reserve the right, however, to use the net proceeds from this offering for any proper corporate purpose as determined by our board of directors.

Our expected use of net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions. The amounts and timing of our actual use of the net proceeds may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, including the progress of our desired revenue and operational growth, and any unforeseen cash needs. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion in the timing and application of these proceeds.

Pending our use of the net proceeds from this offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, including short-term, investment grade, interest bearing instruments and U.S. government securities.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents and capitalization as of March 31, 2025:

This capitalization table should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2025 and other financial information included and incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement.

Unless otherwise indicated, the above table assumes the number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding immediately after this offering is based on 20,431,549 shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2025, but excludes the following as of such date:

DILUTION

If you invest in our common stock in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the price per share you pay in this offering and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock after giving effect to this offering. Our historical net tangible book value per share of common stock as of March 31, 2025, was $3,171,929, or approximately $0.16 per share of outstanding common stock. Net tangible book value per share of our common stock is determined at any date by subtracting total liabilities from the amount of total tangible assets, and dividing this amount by the number of shares of common stock deemed to be outstanding as of that date.

Our pro forma net tangible book value as of March 31, 2025, was $1,576,929 or approximately $0.08 per share, which represents our net tangible book value after giving effect to the $6,999,999 of senior secured convertible notes issued in May 2025.

After giving further effect to the sale of shares of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus in the aggregate amount of $15,000,000 at an assumed offering price of $2.72 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on Nasdaq on July 30, 2025, and after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2025 would have been approximately $15,961,929, or $0.62 per share. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $0.54 per share to existing stockholders and dilution of $2.10 per share of pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value to new investors based on the assumed average sale price of $2.72 per share. The following table illustrates this dilution to the investors purchasing shares of common stock in this offering:

The foregoing table does not take into account further dilution to new investors that could occur upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, or conversion of our convertible notes, having a per share exercise price less than the share per common stock offering price in this offering.

The foregoing table excludes the following as of March 31, 2025:

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We have entered into the ATM Agreement with Titan, under which we may offer and sell up to $15,000,000 of our shares of common stock from time to time through or to Titan acting as agent and/or principal. Sales of our shares of common stock, if any, under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus will be made (i) in privately negotiated transactions with the consent of the Company; (ii) as block transactions; or (iii) by any other method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, including sales made directly on or through Nasdaq or any other existing trading market in the United States for our common stock. If we and Titan agree on any method of distribution other than sales of shares of our common stock on or through Nasdaq or another existing trading market in the United States at market prices, we will file a further prospectus supplement providing all information about such offering as required by Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act.

The ATM Agreement allows for the issuance of shares of common stock from time to time; however, in no event shall the aggregate offering price or number, as the case may be, of shares of common stock sold pursuant to the ATM Agreement exceed the aggregate offering price or number, as the case may be, of shares of common stock (i) available for issuance under this prospectus supplement and the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement is a part (including any limit set forth in General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, if applicable), (ii) authorized but unissued (less shares of common stock issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of any outstanding securities of the Company or otherwise reserved from the Company’s authorized capital stock) or (iii) authorized from time to time to be issued and sold under the ATM Agreement by the Company’s board of directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof..

Each time we wish to issue and sell our shares of common stock under the ATM Agreement, we will notify Titan of the maximum number of shares to be sold on such day, the minimum price per share below which sales may not be made and any other limitations specified by us and mutually agreed by Titan. Once we have so instructed Titan, unless Titan declines to accept the terms of such notice in accordance with the ATM Agreement, Titan has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such shares up to the amount specified on such terms. The obligations of Titan under the ATM Agreement to sell our shares of common stock are subject to a number of conditions that we must meet. We or Titan may suspend the offering of shares of common stock being made through Titan under the ATM Agreement upon proper notice to the other party.

The settlement of sales of shares between us and Titan is generally anticipated to occur on the first trading day following the date on which the sale was made. Sales of our shares of common stock 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 Titan may agree upon. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

We will pay Titan a commission equal to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds we receive from each sale of our shares of common stock by Titan. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. In addition, we have agreed to reimburse Titan for certain specified expenses. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110, these reimbursed expenses are deemed sales compensation to Titan in connection with this offering. We estimate that the total expenses for the offering, excluding any commissions or expense reimbursement payable to Titan under the terms of the ATM Agreement, will be approximately $115,000. The remaining sale proceeds, after deducting any other transaction fees, will equal our net proceeds from the sale of such shares. We will report at least quarterly the number of shares of common stock sold through Titan under the ATM Agreement, the net proceeds to us and the compensation paid by us to Titan in connection with the sales of our common stock.

Titan is not required to sell any certain number of shares or dollar amount of our common stock, but will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell on our behalf all of the shares of common stock requested to be sold by us, subject to the conditions set forth in the ATM Agreement. In connection with the sale of our shares of common stock on our behalf, Titan will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation Titan will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to indemnify Titan against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We have also agreed to contribute to payments Titan may be required to make in respect of such liabilities. Titan will not engage in any market making activities involving shares of our common stock while the offering is ongoing under this prospectus if such activity would be prohibited under Regulation M or other anti-manipulation rules under the Securities Act. As our sales agent, Titan will not engage in any transactions that stabilizes shares of our common stock.

The offering of our shares of common stock pursuant to the ATM Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all shares of common stock subject to the ATM Agreement and (ii) the termination of the ATM Agreement as permitted therein. We may terminate the ATM Agreement at any time upon ten business day’s prior written notice. Titan may terminate the ATM Agreement at any time.

THE COMPANY

Business Overview

SurgePays, Inc., incorporated in Nevada on August 18, 2006, is a technology and telecom company focused on the underbanked and underserved communities. SurgePhone and Torch Wireless provide subsidized mobile broadband to over 250,000 low-income subscribers nationwide. SurgePays fintech platform empowers clerks at thousands of convenience stores to provide a suite of prepaid wireless and financial products to underbanked customers.

About SurgePays, Inc.

SurgePays, Inc. is a financial technology and telecom company focused on providing these essential services to the underbanked community. The Company’s wireless subsidiaries provide mobile broadband, voice and SMS text messaging to both subsidized and direct retail prepaid customers. The Company’s blockchain fintech platform utilizes a suite of financial and prepaid products to convert corner stores into tech-hubs for underbanked neighborhoods.

SurgePhone Wireless and Torch Wireless

SurgePhone and Torch, wholly owned subsidiaries of SurgePays, are mobile virtual network operators (MVNO) licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) to provide subsidized access to quality internet through mobile broadband services to consumers qualifying under the federal guidelines of the Affordable Connectivity Program (the “ACP”). The ACP (the successor program, as of March 1, 2022 to the Emergency Broadband Benefit program) provides SurgePhone and Torch up to a $100 reimbursement for the cost of each tablet device distributed and a $30 per customer, per month subsidy for mobile broadband (internet connectivity) services. SurgePhone and Torch combined are licensed to offer subsidized mobile broadband to all fifty states.

SurgePays Fintech (ECS Business)

We refer to the collective operations of ECS Prepaid, LLC, a Missouri limited liability company, Electronic Check Services, Inc., a Missouri corporation, and Central States Legal Services, Inc., a Missouri corporation, as “Surge Fintech.” This was previously referred to as the “ECS Business.”

Surge Fintech has been a financial technology tech and wireless top-up platform for over 15 years. Through a series of transactions between October 2019 and January 2020, we acquired the ECS Business primarily for the favorable ACH banking relationship and a fintech transactions platform processing over 20,000 transactions a day at approximately 8,000 independently owned convenience stores. The platform serves as the proven backbone for wireless top-up transactions and wireless product aggregation for the SurgePays nationwide network.

Surge Blockchain

Surge Blockchain Software is a back-office marketplace (accessed through the SurgePays fintech portal for convenience stores) offering wholesale consumable goods direct to convenience stores who are transacting on the SurgePays Fintech platform. The wholesale e-commerce platform is easily accessed through the secure app interface – similar to a website. We believe what makes this sales platform unique is that it also offers the merchant the ability to order wholesale consumable goods at a significant discount from traditional distributors with one touch ease. We are able to sell products at a significant discount by using on demand Direct Store Delivery (DSD). Our platform is connected directly to manufactures, who ship products direct to the store while cutting out the middleman. The goal of the SurgePays Portal is to leverage the competitive advantage and efficiencies of e-commerce to provide as many commonly sold consumable products as possible to convenience stores, corner markets, bodegas, and supermarkets while increasing profit margins for these stores.

LogicsIQ, Inc.

LogicsIQ, Inc. is a lead generation and case management solutions company primarily serving law firms in the mass tort industry. LogicsIQ’s CRM “Intake Logics” facilitates the entire life cycle of converting a lead into a signed retainer client integrated into the law firms case management software. Our proven strategy of delivering cost-effective retained cases to our attorney and law firm clients means those clients are better able to manage their media and advertising budgets and reach targeted audiences more quickly and effectively when utilizing our proprietary data driven analytics dashboards. Our ability to deliver transparent results through our integrated Business Intelligence (B.I.) dashboards has bolstered our reputation as an industry leader in the mass tort client acquisition field.

ShockWave CRM™

SurgePays acquired the Software as a Service (SaaS) Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Billing System software platform “MVNO Cloud Services” on June 7, 2022. S Payment for the software consisted of $300,000 in cash, of which $100,000 was paid in June 2022, and the remaining $200,000 in July 2022. Additionally, the Company issued 85,000 shares of Common Stock having a fair value of $411,400 ($4.84/share), based upon the quoted closing trading price. SurgePays has rebranded the software as ShockWave CRM.

ShockWave is an end-to-end cloud-based SaaS offering an Omnichannel CRM, billing system and carrier integrations specific to the telecommunication and broadband industry. Some of these services include sales agent management, device and SIM inventory management, order processing and provisioning, retail Point of Service (POS) activations and payments, customer service management, retention tools, billing, and payments.

Centercom

Since 2019, we have owned a 40% equity interest in Centercom Global, S.A. de C.V. (“Centercom”). Centercom is a bilingual operations center providing the Company with sales support, customer service, IT infrastructure design, graphic media, database programming, software development, revenue assurance, lead generation, and other various operational back-office services. Centercom is based in El Salvador.

Competition

There are many competitors in the prepaid wireless and mobile broadband industry. We feel what makes SurgePhone different is we are a grassroots company with our products placed in convenience stores where the underbanked shop. We can offer prepaid wireless and financial services, through these stores, at a lower price to customers since we own the transaction software processing the activations and top-ups.

Many of our current and potential competitors are well established and have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial and operational resources, and name recognition than we have. Most traditional convenience store distributors are companies that have been in business for over 50 years and utilize the historical “manufacturing plant to truck to warehouse to truck to store” logistics model. However, we believe that with our diverse product line, better efficiencies resulting in lower wholesale cost of goods sold, we have the ability to obtain a large market share and continue to generate sales growth and compete in the industry. We believe, in some cases, we will be able to partner with our competition through integration and compensate them for helping us grow due to the uniqueness of the suite of products we offer and the additional revenue stores can unlock. The principal competitive factors in all our product markets are technical features, quality, availability, price, customer support, and distribution coverage. The relative importance of each of these factors varies depending on the region. We believe using our direct store distribution model nationwide will open significant opportunities for growth.

The markets in which we operate can be generally categorized as highly competitive. In order to maximize our competitive advantages, we continue to expand our product portfolio to capitalize on market trends, changes in technology and new product releases. Based on available data for our served markets, we estimate that our market share of the convenience store sales business at this time is less than 1%. A substantial acquisition would be necessary to meaningfully and rapidly change our market share percentage.

Distributors generally do not have a broad set of product and service offerings or capabilities, and no single distributor currently provides all the top selling consumables while offering products and services to enhance the lifestyle of the underbanked such as prepaid wireless, gift cards, bill payment and reloadable debit cards. We believe this creates a significant opportunity for a dynamic paradigm shift to a nationwide wholesale e-commerce platform.

Recent Developments

Delisting from Upstream

On October 6, 2023, the Company sent notice of the delisting from the Upstream board of MERJ Exchange Ltd. All shares listed on Upstream will be sent back into the shareholder’s original direct holding of these shares held in their account at Vstock Transfer LLC, the Company’s transfer agent. This transfer will be completed by Upstream prior to October 18, 2023. Accordingly, the listing of the Company’s common stock on Upstream has been terminated as of October 18, 2023. The termination of our listing on Upstream has no immediate effect on the continued listing status of the Company’s shares listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, which remains fully effective.

On April 27, 2015, NAER entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with KSIX Media whereby KSIX Media became a wholly-owned subsidiary of NAER and which resulted in the shareholders of KSIX Media owning approximately 90% of the voting stock of the surviving entity. While we continued the oil and gas operations of NAER following this transaction, on August 4, 2015, we changed its name to KSIX Media Holdings, Inc. On December 21, 2017, we changed its name to Surge Holdings, Inc. to better reflect the diversity of its business operations. We changed its name to SurgePays, Inc. on October 29, 2020.

On January 22, 2021, the issued and outstanding equity securities of DigitizeIQ, LLC and KSIX, LLC were transferred to LogicsIQ and became wholly-owned subsidiaries of LogicsIQ.

On May 7, 2021, the Company disposed of its subsidiary True Wireless, Inc., however we retained $1,097,659 in liabilities which consisted of $1,077,659 in accounts payable and accrued expenses as well as $20,000 in related party loans. The balance at December 31, 2022 was $668,649. In connection with the sale, the Company received an unsecured note receivable for $176,851, bearing interest at 0.6%, with a default interest rate of 10%. Starting in June 2023, the Company was scheduled to receive what will ultimately be 25 payments of principal and accrued interest of $7,461 per month. However, as of August 30, 2023, the Company has not received any payments.

On January 30, 2020, the Company acquired ECS Prepaid, LLC, a Missouri limited liability company, Electronic Check Services, Inc., a Missouri corporation, and Central States Legal Services, Inc., a Missouri corporation.

On January 1, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of Torch Wireless, LLC resulting in Torch becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary, in a transaction accounted for as a business combination.

The Tradeable Warrants entitle the registered holder to purchase Common Stock at a price equal to $4.73 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, immediately following the issuance of such Tradeable Warrant and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 4, 2024. The other warrants entitle the registered holder to purchase Common Stock at prices between $4.73 and $75.00 per share and have expiration dates between November 2023 and November 2025.

The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Tradeable Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in the event of a stock dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the Tradeable Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of Common Stock at prices below its exercise price.

Exercisability. The Tradeable Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance and at any time up to the date that is three (3) years after their original issuance. The Tradeable Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the Warrant Agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of Tradeable Warrants being exercised. Under the terms of the warrant agency agreement, we must use our best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement and current prospectus relating to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Tradeable Warrants until the expiration of the Tradeable Warrants. If we fail to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement and current prospectus relating to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Tradeable Warrants, the holders of the Tradeable Warrants shall have the right to exercise the Tradeable Warrants solely via a cashless exercise feature provided for in the Tradeable Warrants, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and current prospectus.

Exercise Limitation. A holder may not exercise any portion of a Tradeable Warrant to the extent that the holder, together with its affiliates and any other person or entity acting as a group, would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock after exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Tradeable Warrants, except that upon prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may waive such limitation up to a percentage not in excess of 9.99%.

Exercise Price. The exercise price per whole share of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Tradeable Warrants is $4.73. The exercise price is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our Common Stock and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to our stockholders.

Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon exercise of the Tradeable Warrants. As to any fraction of a share of Common Stock which the holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company will round up or down, as applicable, to the nearest whole share of Common Stock.

Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, the Tradeable Warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent.

Warrant Agent; Global Certificate. The Tradeable Warrants were issued in registered form under a warrant agency agreement between the Warrant Agent and us. The Tradeable Warrants shall initially be represented only by one or more global warrants deposited with the Warrant Agent, as custodian on behalf of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., a nominee of DTC, or as otherwise directed by DTC.

Fundamental Transactions. In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Tradeable Warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our Common Stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding Common Stock, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by our outstanding Common Stock, the holders of the Tradeable Warrants will be entitled to receive the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Tradeable Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction.

Rights as a Stockholder. The Tradeable Warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Common Stock or any voting rights until they exercise their Tradeable Warrants and receive Common Stock. After the issuance Common Stock upon exercise of the Tradeable Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

Governing Law. The Tradeable Warrants and the warrant agency agreement are governed by New York law.

Exchange. The Tradeable Warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbol “SURGW.”

Anti-takeover Effects of Our Articles of Incorporation and By-laws

The holders of our Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of our directors, which makes it more difficult for minority stockholders to be represented on the Board. Our articles of incorporation allow our Board to issue additional shares of our Common Stock and new series of preferred stock without further approval of our stockholders. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger, or otherwise.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Business Combinations

The “business combination” provisions of Sections 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive, of the Nevada Revised Statutes, or NRS, generally prohibit a Nevada corporation with at least 200 stockholders of record, a “resident domestic corporation,” from engaging in various “combination” transactions with any “interested stockholder” unless certain conditions are met or the corporation has elected in its articles of incorporation to not be subject to these provisions. We have not elected to opt out of these provisions and if we meet the definition of resident domestic corporation, now or in the future, our company will be subject to these provisions.

A “combination” is generally defined to include (a) a merger or consolidation of the resident domestic corporation or any subsidiary of the resident domestic corporation with the interested stockholder or affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder; (b) any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer, or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions, by the resident domestic corporation or any subsidiary of the resident domestic corporation to or with the interested stockholder or affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder having: (i) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the resident domestic corporation, (ii) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the resident domestic corporation, or (iii) 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the resident domestic corporation; (c) the issuance or transfer in one transaction or series of transactions of shares of the resident domestic corporation or any subsidiary of the resident domestic corporation having an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the resident domestic corporation to the interested stockholder or affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder; and (d) certain other transactions with an interested stockholder or affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder.

An “interested stockholder” is generally defined as a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within two years, did own) 10% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. An “affiliate” of the interested stockholder is any person that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries is controlled by or is under common control with the interested stockholder. An “associate” of an interested stockholder is any (a) corporation or organization of which the interested stockholder is an officer or partner or is directly or indirectly the beneficial owner of 10% or more of any class of voting shares of such corporation or organization; (b) trust or other estate in which the interested stockholder has a substantial beneficial interest or as to which the interested stockholder serves as trustee or in a similar fiduciary capacity; or (c) relative or spouse of the interested stockholder, or any relative of the spouse of the interested stockholder, who has the same home as the interested stockholder.

If applicable, the prohibition is for a period of two years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless such transaction is approved by the board of directors prior to the date the interested stockholder obtained such status; or the combination is approved by the board of directors and thereafter is approved at a meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of stockholders representing at least 60% of the outstanding voting power held by disinterested stockholders; and extends beyond the expiration of the two-year period, unless (a) the combination was approved by the board of directors prior to the person becoming an interested stockholder; (b) the transaction by which the person first became an interested stockholder was approved by the board of directors before the person became an interested stockholder; (c) the transaction is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders at a meeting called for that purpose no earlier than two years after the date the person first became an interested stockholder; or (d) if the consideration to be paid to all stockholders other than the interested stockholder is, generally, at least equal to the highest of: (i) the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the three years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or in the transaction in which it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher, plus compounded interest and less dividends paid, (ii) the market value per share of common shares on the date of announcement of the combination and the date the interested stockholder acquired the shares, whichever is higher, plus compounded interest and less dividends paid, or (iii) for holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, plus accrued dividends, if not included in the liquidation value. With respect to (i) and (ii) above, the interest is compounded at the rate for one-year United States Treasury obligations from time to time in effect.

Applicability of the Nevada business combination statute would discourage parties interested in taking control of our company if they cannot obtain the approval of our Board. These provisions could prohibit or delay a merger or other takeover or change in control attempt and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire our company even though such a transaction may offer our stockholders the opportunity to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing market price.

Control Share Acquisitions

The “control share” provisions of Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, of the NRS, apply to “issuing corporations” that are Nevada corporations with at least 200 stockholders of record, including at least 100 stockholders of record who are Nevada residents, and that conduct business directly or indirectly in Nevada, unless the corporation has elected to not be subject to these provisions.

The control share statute prohibits an acquirer of shares of an issuing corporation, under certain circumstances, from voting its shares of a corporation’s stock after crossing certain ownership threshold percentages, unless the acquirer obtains approval of the target corporation’s disinterested stockholders. The statute specifies three thresholds: (a) one-fifth or more but less than one-third, (b) one-third but less than a majority, and (c) a majority or more, of the outstanding voting power. Generally, once a person acquires shares in excess of any of the thresholds, those shares and any additional shares acquired within 90 days thereof become “control shares” and such control shares are deprived of the right to vote until disinterested stockholders restore the right. These provisions also provide that if control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired a majority or more of all voting power, all other stockholders who do not vote in favor of authorizing voting rights to the control shares are entitled to demand payment for the fair value of their shares in accordance with statutory procedures established for dissenters’ rights.

A corporation may elect to not be governed by, or “opt out” of, the control shares provisions by making an election in its articles of incorporation or bylaws, provided that the opt-out election must be in place on the 10th day following the date an acquiring person has acquired a controlling interest, that is, crossing any of the three thresholds described above. We have not opted out of these provisions and will be subject to the control share provisions of the NRS if we meet the definition of an issuing corporation upon an acquiring person acquiring a controlling interest unless we later opt out of these provisions and the opt out is in effect on the 10th day following such occurrence.

The effect of the Nevada control share statute is that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with the acquiring person, will obtain only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting. The Nevada control share law, if applicable, could have the effect of discouraging takeovers of our company.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK

Our Articles of Incorporation empowers our board of directors, without action by our shareholders, to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock from time to time in one or more series, which preferred stock may be offered by this prospectus and supplements thereto. As of October 23, 2023, there were no shares of preferred stock designated, issued or outstanding.

We will fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the preferred stock of each series in the certificate of designation relating to that series. We will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part or will incorporate by reference from a current report on Form 8-K that we file with the SEC, the form of any certificate of designation that describes the terms of the series of preferred stock we are offering before the issuance of the related series of preferred stock. This description will include any or all of the following, as required: 

If we issue shares of preferred stock under this prospectus, after receipt of payment therefor, the shares will be fully paid and non-assessable.

The Nevada Revised Statues provide that the holders of preferred stock will have the right to vote separately as a class on any proposal involving fundamental changes in the rights of holders of that preferred stock. This right is in addition to any voting rights provided for in the applicable certificate of designation. 

Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. Preferred stock could be issued quickly with terms designed to delay or prevent a change in control of our Company or make removal of management more difficult. Additionally, the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of decreasing the market price of our common stock. 

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

General

The debt securities that we may offer by this prospectus consist of notes, debentures, or other evidences of indebtedness. The debt securities may constitute either senior or subordinated debt securities, and in either case may be either secured or unsecured. Any debt securities that we offer and sell will be our direct obligations. Debt securities may be issued in one or more series. All debt securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time, and unless otherwise provided, a series of debt securities may be reopened, with the required consent of the holders of outstanding debt securities, for issuance of additional debt securities of that series or to establish additional terms of that series of debt securities (with such additional terms applicable only to unissued or additional debt securities of that series). The form of indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and is subject to any amendments or supplements that we may enter into with the trustee(s), however, we may issue debt securities not subject to the indenture provided such terms of debt securities are not otherwise required to be set forth in the indenture. The material terms of the indenture are summarized below and we refer you to the indenture for a detailed description of these material terms. Additional or different provisions that are applicable to a particular series of debt securities will, if material, be described in a prospectus supplement relating to the offering of debt securities of that series. These provisions may include, among other things and to the extent applicable, the following:

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will issue debt securities in fully registered form without coupons and in denominations of $1,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000, and interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. If any interest payment date or the maturity date falls on a day that is not a business day, then the payment will be made on the next business day without additional interest and with the same effect as if it were made on the originally scheduled date. “Business day” means any calendar day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in New York, New York, and on which the trustee and commercial banks are open for business in New York, New York.

Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, each series of our senior debt securities will rank equally in right of payment with all of our other unsubordinated debt. The subordinated debt securities will rank junior in right of payment and be subordinate to all of our unsubordinated debt.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the trustee will act as paying agent and registrar for the debt securities under the indenture. We may act as paying agent under the indenture.

The prospectus supplement will contain a description of United States federal income tax consequences relating to the debt securities, to the extent applicable.

Covenants

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe any covenants, such as restrictive covenants restricting us or our subsidiaries, if any, from incurring, issuing, assuming or guarantying any indebtedness or restricting us or our subsidiaries, if any, from paying dividends or acquiring any of our or its capital stock.

Consolidation, Merger and Transfer of Assets

The indenture permits a consolidation or merger between us and another entity and/or the sale, conveyance or lease by us of all or substantially all of our property and assets, provided that:

If we consolidate or merge with or into any other entity, or sell or lease all or substantially all of our assets in compliance with the terms and conditions of the indenture, the resulting or acquiring entity will be substituted for us in the indenture and the debt securities with the same effect as if it had been an original party to the indenture and the debt securities. As a result, such successor entity may exercise our rights and powers under the indenture and the debt securities, in our name and, except in the case of a lease, we will be released from all our liabilities and obligations under the indenture and under the debt securities.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may transfer all of our property and assets to another entity if, immediately after giving effect to the transfer, such entity is our wholly owned subsidiary. The term “wholly owned subsidiary” means any subsidiary in which we and/or our other wholly owned subsidiaries, if any, own all of the outstanding capital stock.

Modification and Waiver

Under the indenture, some of our rights and obligations and some of the rights of the holders of the debt securities may be modified or amended with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities affected by the modification or amendment. However, the following modifications and amendments will not be effective against any holder without its consent:

Under the indenture, the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities may, on behalf of all holders of the debt securities:

Events of Default

Unless we indicate otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, “event of default” under the indenture will mean, with respect to any series of debt securities, any of the following:

Remedies Upon an Event of Default

If an event of default occurs and continues, the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series may declare the entire principal of all the debt securities to be due and payable immediately, except that, if the event of default is caused by certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the entire principal of all of the debt securities of such series will become due and payable immediately without any act on the part of the trustee or holders of the debt securities. If such a declaration occurs, the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series can, subject to conditions, rescind the declaration.

The indenture requires us to furnish to the trustee not less often than annually, a certificate from our principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer, as the case may be, as to such officer’s knowledge of our compliance with all conditions and covenants under the indenture. The trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any default, except defaults in the payment of principal of or interest on any debt securities if the trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of notice is in the best interests of the holders. For purposes of this paragraph, “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an event of default under the indenture.

The trustee is not obligated to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request, order or direction of any holders of debt securities, unless the holders offer the trustee satisfactory security or indemnity. If satisfactory security or indemnity is provided, then, subject to other rights of the trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities may direct the time, method and place of:

The holder of a debt security will have the right to begin any proceeding with respect to the indenture or for any remedy only if:

However, the holder of any debt security will have an absolute right to receive payment of principal of and interest on the debt security when due and to institute suit to enforce this payment.

Satisfaction and Discharge; Defeasance

Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, if at any time:

then the indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the debt securities of such series, except for:

Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may elect with respect to any debt securities of any series either:

We must comply with the following conditions before the defeasance or covenant defeasance can be effected:

In connection with defeasance, any irrevocable trust agreement contemplated by the indenture must include, among other things, provision for:

The accompanying prospectus supplement may further describe any provisions permitting or restricting defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to the debt securities of a particular series.

Global Securities

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, each debt security offered by this prospectus will be issued in the form of one or more global debt securities representing all or part of that series of debt securities. This means that we will not issue certificates for that series of debt securities to the holders. Instead, a global debt security representing that series will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a securities depositary and registered in the name of the depositary or a nominee of the depositary. Any such depositary must be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. We will describe the specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to a series of debt securities to be represented by a global security in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Notices

We will give notices to holders of the debt securities by mail at the addresses listed in the security register. In the case of notice in respect of unregistered securities or coupon securities, we may give notice by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in New York, New York.

Governing Law

The particular terms of a series of debt securities will be described in a prospectus supplement relating to such series of debt securities. Any indentures will be subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and may be supplemented or amended from time to time following their execution. Unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will not be limited in the amount of debt securities that we may issue, and neither the senior debt securities nor the subordinated debt securities will be secured by any of our property or assets. Thus, by owning debt securities, you are one of our unsecured creditors.

Regarding the Trustee

From time to time, we may maintain deposit accounts and conduct other banking transactions with the trustee to be appointed under the indenture or its affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

We may offer to sell warrants from time to time. If we do so, we will describe the specific terms of the warrants in a prospectus supplement. In particular, we may issue warrants for the purchase of Common Stock, preferred stock and/or debt securities in one or more series. We may also issue warrants independently or together with other securities and the warrants may be attached to or separate from those securities.

We will evidence each series of warrants by warrant certificates that we will issue under a separate agreement. We will enter into the warrant agreement with a warrant agent. We will indicate the name and address of the warrant agent in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of warrants.

We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of warrants, including:

Holders may exercise the warrants by delivering the warrant certificate representing the warrants to be exercised together with other requested information, and paying the required amount to the warrant agent in immediately available funds, as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement the information that the holder of the warrant will be required to deliver to the warrant agent.

Upon receipt of the required payment and the warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed at the office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will issue and deliver the securities purchasable upon such exercise. If a holder exercises fewer than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate, then we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining amount of warrants.

Holder will not have any of the rights of the holders of the securities purchasable upon the exercise of warrants until you exercise them. Accordingly, holder will not be entitled to, among other things, vote or receive dividend payments or similar distributions on the securities you can purchase upon exercise of the warrants.

The information provided above is only a summary of the terms under which we may offer warrants for sale. Accordingly, investors must carefully review the applicable warrant agreement for more information about the specific terms and conditions of these warrants before investing in us. In addition, please carefully review the information provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, which contains additional information that is important for you to consider in evaluating an investment in our securities.

DESCRIPTION OF RIGHTS

We may issue rights to our stockholders to purchase shares of our Common Stock or preferred stock described in this prospectus. We may offer rights separately or together with one or more additional rights, preferred stock, Common Stock, warrants or any combination of those securities in the form of units, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as rights agent. The rights agent for any rights we offer will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. The rights agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the certificates relating to the rights of the series of certificates and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of rights certificates or beneficial owners of rights. The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the rights to which any prospectus supplement may relate. The particular terms of the rights to which any prospectus supplement may relate and the extent, if any, to which the general provisions may apply to the rights so offered will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. To the extent that any particular terms of the rights, rights agreement or rights certificates described in a prospectus supplement differ from any of the terms described below, then the terms described below will be deemed to have been superseded by that prospectus supplement. We encourage you to read the applicable rights agreement and rights certificate for additional information before you decide whether to purchase any of our rights.

The prospectus supplement relating to any rights that we offer will include specific terms relating to the offering, including, among other matters:

If less than all of the rights issued in any rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed securities directly to persons other than stockholders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby arrangements, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. In connection with any rights offering, we may enter into a standby underwriting or other arrangement with one or more underwriters or other persons pursuant to which such underwriters or other persons would purchase any offered securities remaining unsubscribed for after such rights offering.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

We may issue units consisting of any combination of the other types of securities offered under this prospectus in one or more series. We may evidence each series of units by unit certificates that we will issue under a separate agreement. We may enter into unit agreements with a unit agent. We will indicate the name and address of the unit agent in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of units.

The following description, together with the additional information included in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the general features of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. You should read any prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you related to the series of units being offered, as well as the complete unit agreements that contain the terms of the units. Specific unit agreements will contain additional important terms and provisions and we will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from another report that we file with the SEC, the form of each unit agreement relating to units offered under this prospectus.

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

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may sell the securities from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination of these methods or through underwriters or dealers, through agents and/or directly to one or more purchasers. The securities may be distributed from time to time in one or more transactions:

Each time that we sell securities covered by this prospectus, we will provide a prospectus supplement or supplements that will describe the method of distribution and set forth the terms and conditions of the offering of such securities, including the offering price of the securities and the proceeds to us, if applicable.

Offers to purchase the securities being offered by this prospectus may be solicited directly. Agents may also be designated to solicit offers to purchase the securities from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of our securities will be identified in a prospectus supplement.

If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, the securities will be sold to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale.

If an underwriter is utilized in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, an underwriting agreement will be executed with the underwriter at the time of sale and the name of any underwriter will be provided in the prospectus supplement that the underwriter will use to make resales of the securities to the public. In connection with the sale of the securities, we or the purchasers of securities for whom the underwriter may act as agent, may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions. The underwriter may sell the securities to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for which they may act as agent. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, an agent will be acting on a best efforts basis and a dealer will purchase securities as a principal, and may then resell the securities at varying prices to be determined by the dealer.

Any compensation paid to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. We may enter into agreements to indemnify underwriters, dealers and agents against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments they may be required to make in respect thereof and to reimburse those persons for certain expenses.

Any Common Stock will be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, but any other securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. To facilitate the offering of securities, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities. This may include over-allotments or short sales of the securities, which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering of more securities than were sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option, if any. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the securities by bidding for or purchasing securities in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if securities sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

We may engage in at the market offerings into an existing trading market in accordance with Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act.

In addition, we may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement so indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, we may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

We do not make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above might have on the price of the securities. In addition, we do not make any representation that underwriters will engage in such transactions or that such transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

The specific terms of any lock-up provisions in respect of any given offering will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

To comply with applicable state securities laws, the securities offered by this prospectus will be sold, if necessary, in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, securities may not be sold in some states unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

The underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us, or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business for which they receive compensation.

LEGAL MATTERS

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the validity of the securities offered by this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, New York, New York.
