ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is part of an “automatic shelf” registration statement on Form F-3 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, as a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, utilizing a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may offer Ordinary Shares, including warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares, subscription rights and units, in one or more offerings. There is no limit on the aggregate amount of the securities that we may offer pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer.

Each time we offer our securities pursuant to this registration statement, we will provide you with a prospectus supplement that will describe the specific amounts, prices and terms of the securities we offer.

Investment Policy

On September 3, 2025, the Board of Directors of SEALSQ Corp (the “Board”) authorized the establishment of an investment committee (the “Investment Committee”) comprised of a minimum of three members of the Board with a mandate to oversee the implementation of the Company’s investment policy (the “Investment Policy”). In accordance with the Board resolution, the Board has delegated authority to manage the Company’s portfolio of securities or other investments to the Investment Committee, together with such personnel and advisors as the Investment Committee may choose. The Investment Committee is expected to regularly review risks related to the Company’s investment portfolio, including concentration risk. When allocating cash to various investment opportunities and considering related investment risks, the Investment Committee is expected to consider market-based factors, including risk adjusted after-tax yields. When reviewing concentration risk, the Investment Committee should consider the liquidity needs of the Company, among other things. Investments are to be made in accordance with the guidelines in the Investment Policy that will be reviewed at least annually, with oversight conducted by senior officers and the Investment Committee.

The overall goals of the Investment Policy are to provide sufficient liquidity to meet the day-to-day financial obligations of the Company, and to optimize investment returns within the guidelines of the Investment Policy. Permissible investment instruments include cash and cash equivalents (e.g. bank obligations, money market funds, and commercial paper), fixed income securities (e.g. obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government, tax exempt obligations of states and municipalities, and corporate bonds/notes), equity securities (limited to those listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), NYSE American, NYSE Arca or the Nasdaq Stock Market and in compliance with the listing standards of the applicable exchange) and certain crypto-currencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, HBAR (which are digital assets based on an open source cryptographic protocol existing on the Hedera Network), WECAN tokens (which are Ethereum-based native utility tokens compliant with the ERC-20 standard tokens issued by WeCan Group SA, a Swiss blockchain and data compliance company in which SEALSQ Corp has a 28.30% equity stake), and other tokens subject to approval by the Investment Committee. Individual exceptions to the Investment Policy may only be made by the unanimous agreement of the Investment Committee or, if the Investment Committee is unable to reach unanimous agreement on such exception, by the Board.

On September 3, 2025, as part of our establishment of the Investment Committee, the Board approved the addition of Bitcoin, Ethereum, HBAR, and WeCan Tokens (collectively, the “Approved Crypto-Currencies”) as treasury reserve assets, so that up to $30 million of our cash, or proceeds from future debt and equity issuances, may be invested in the Approved Crypto-Currencies.

The Investment Committee will direct the investment activity of the Company in public and private markets pursuant to authority granted by the Board. Depending on certain market conditions and various risk factors, members of the Investment Committee, each in their personal capacity or through affiliated investment vehicles, may at times invest in the same securities, instruments or other assets (including crypto-currencies) in which the Company invests. The Board anticipates that such investments will align the interests of the Company with the interests of related parties because it places the personal resources of such Investment Committee members at risk in substantially the same manner as resources of the Company in connection with investment decisions made by the Investment Committee on behalf of the Company.

Our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and member of the Board of Directors, Carlos Moreira, is a member of the board of directors of WeCan Group SA (“WeCan”), the developer of the WeCan Token. Mr. Moreira will recuse himself from any decision making regarding any investment in the WeCan Token. As of September 9, 2025, we hold a 28.3% equity stake in WeCan. We intend to take a similar approach with respect to recusal for purchase of other securities or digital assets issued by companies with which SEALSQ board members and executives have an “affiliation” (other than passively owning shares or digital assets).

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-08, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets.” This standard provides accounting and disclosure guidance for crypto assets that meet the definition of an intangible asset and certain other criteria. In-scope assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes recorded in the income statement. The standard requires separate presentation of (1) in-scope crypto assets from other intangible assets and (2) changes in the fair value of those crypto assets. Disclosure of significant crypto asset holdings and an annual reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of crypto assets are also required. This ASU becomes effective for annual periods beginning in 2025, including interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this policy and there was no impact of this standard on its historic consolidated financial statements. The Company anticipates that this standard may have an impact on its consolidated financial statements in the future due to potential fluctuations in the value of its proposed investment in the Approved Crypto-Currencies.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Foreign Private Issuer

Emerging Growth Company

We are an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. We cannot predict if investors will find our securities less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Ordinary Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Ordinary Shares and our share price may be more volatile.

In addition, under the JOBS Act, our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 for so long as we are an emerging growth company.

For as long as we take advantage of the reduced reporting obligations, the information that we provide our shareholders may be different from information provided by other public companies.

Foreign Private Issuer

As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to, and we do, rely on exemptions from certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards applicable to domestic U.S. issuers. This may afford less protection to holders of our securities.

We are exempted from certain corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq by virtue of being a foreign private issuer. We are required to provide a brief description of the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and the Nasdaq corporate governance practices required to be followed by domestic U.S. companies listed on Nasdaq. The standards applicable to us are considerably different from the standards applied to domestic U.S. issuers. For instance, we are not required to:

We have relied on and intend to continue to rely on some of these exemptions. As a result, you may not be provided with the benefits of certain corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq.

Because we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are also exempt from certain provisions of the securities rules and regulations in the United States that are applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, including:

Recent Developments

Sales under the ATM Facility

On May 19, 2025, we entered into a Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”) and Maxim Group LLC, pursuant to which we may elect to sell, from time to time through Cantor, acting as the sole designated sales agent and/or principal, Ordinary Shares, having an aggregate offering amount of up to $100,000,000 (the “ATM Facility”).

As of the date hereof, we have sold an aggregate of 15,450,000 Ordinary Shares under the ATM Facility.

Warrant Inducement

On October 5, 2025, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Warrant Inducement Agreement”) with the holders (the “Warrant Investors”) of Class A Warrants issued on July 15, 2025 (the “Class A Warrants”), whereby in consideration for exercising in full all of the existing Class A Warrants held by such Warrant Investors at the exercise price per Ordinary Share as set forth in Class A Warrants of $4.60 (the “Warrant Exercise”), the Company agreed to (i) amend the Class A Warrants to provide for the issuance of Ordinary Shares, or Pre-funded Warrants (the “October 5 Pre-funded Warrants”), at the option of the holder, if, as a result of the exercise of the Class A Warrants, the holder’s beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares would exceed such holder’s beneficial ownership blocker election as set forth in its Class A Warrant immediately following such exercise, and (ii) issue registered Class C Warrants to the Warrant Investors (the “Class C Warrants” and together with the October 5 Pre-funded Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 26,250,000 Ordinary Shares.

Increase of Authorized Capital

On October 6, 2025, we amended our Memorandum and Articles of Association to increase our authorized share capital from 200,000,000 Ordinary Shares to 500,000,000 Ordinary Shares, as approved by the Company’s board of directors on October 6, 2025.

Registered Direct Offering and Concurrent Private Placement

Securities Purchase Agreement

On October 15, 2025, Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with the selling shareholders pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue in a registered direct offering (the “Registered Offering”) to the selling shareholders 12,640,000 Ordinary Shares at an offering price of $7.50 per share.

The Registered Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s existing shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333- 286098) filed by the Company with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which was declared effective by the SEC on April 2, 2025 (the “Initial Registration Statement”) and the Registration Statement on Form F-3 MEF (File No. 333-290874) filed by the Company with the SEC under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 462(b) thereunder on October 15, 2025 (the “Supplemental Registration Statement,” and together with the Initial Registration Statement, the “Registration Statement”). A prospectus supplement to the Registration Statement was filed with the Commission on October 16, 2025.

In a concurrent private placement pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the “Concurrent Private Placement,” and together with the “Registered Offering,” the “Offering”), the Company agreed to sell to the selling shareholders (i) unregistered Pre-funded Warrants to purchase up to 14,026,666 Ordinary Shares and (ii) unregistered Class D Warrants to purchase up to 53,333,332 Ordinary Shares at a combined offering price of $7.50 per Pre-funded Warrant and accompanying Class D Warrants.

The Class D Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance, and have a term of exercise of seven (7) years from the issuance date and had an exercise price per share equal to $9.25. Each Pre-funded Warrant is exercisable for one Ordinary Share at $0.0001 per Ordinary Share. The Pre-funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-funded Warrants are exercised in full. The exercise price of the Private Warrants and the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Warrants are subject to applicable adjustment in the event of certain share dividends and distributions, share splits, share combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our Ordinary Shares.

The Private Warrants and the Resale Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Warrants were offered in the Concurrent Private Placement pursuant to the exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and have not been registered under the Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the Private Warrants and the Resale Shares may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws. We are registering the Resale Shares on behalf of the selling shareholders, to be offered and sold from time to time, to satisfy certain registration rights that we have granted to the selling shareholders pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

The gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering were approximately $200,000,000.00, before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

Placement Agency Agreement

On October 15, 2025, the Company entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (the “Placement Agent”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent an aggregate fee equal to 6.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Ordinary Shares and Private Warrants in the Offering. The Company also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for up to $100,000.00 in accountable expenses, including the Placement Agent’s legal counsel’s fees.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves significant risks. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described under “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus supplement and under “Item 3.D: Key Information—Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, or any updates in our Reports on Form 6-K, together with all of the other information appearing in this prospectus or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, in light of your particular investment objectives and financial circumstances.

The risks so described are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. The discussion of risks includes or refers to forward-looking statements; you should read the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on such forward-looking statements discussed elsewhere in this prospectus.

General Risks

Acquisitions, joint ventures, and strategic alliances may have an adverse effect on our business.

We expect to continue making acquisitions and entering into joint ventures and strategic alliances as part of our long-term business strategy. Acquisitions and other transactions and arrangements involve significant challenges and risks, including that they do not receive the required government approvals to close, that they do not advance our business strategy, that we get an unsatisfactory return on our investment, that they raise new compliance-related obligations and challenges, that we have difficulty integrating and retaining new employees, business systems, and technology, that they distract management from our other businesses, or that announced transactions may not be completed. If an arrangement fails to adequately anticipate changing circumstances and interests of a party, it may result in early termination or renegotiation of the arrangement. We also have limited ability to control or influence third parties with whom we have arrangements, which may impact our ability to realize the anticipated benefits. The success of these transactions and arrangements depend in part on our ability to leverage them to enhance our existing products and services or develop compelling new ones, as well as the acquired companies’ ability to meet our policies and processes in areas such as data governance, privacy, and cybersecurity. It may take longer than expected to realize the full benefits from these transactions and arrangements, such as increased revenue or enhanced efficiencies, or the benefits may ultimately be smaller than we expected.

Resales of our Ordinary Shares in the public market following this offering may cause the trading price to fall.

The resale of a substantial number of Ordinary Shares could depress the trading price of our Ordinary Shares. If our shareholders sell substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares in the public market following an offering, the trading price of our Ordinary Shares could fall.

Our stock price has been and may continue to be volatile.

The market price of our Ordinary Shares has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile. The variance in our stock price makes it difficult to forecast the stock price at which an investor may be able to buy or sell Ordinary Shares. The market price for our Ordinary Shares could be subject to fluctuations as a result of factors that are out of our control, such as:

We may, in the future, issue additional Ordinary Shares, which would reduce investors’ percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.

The future issuance of Ordinary Shares, including in “at the market” or continuous equity offerings may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our Ordinary Shares held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any Ordinary Shares in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of Ordinary Shares for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our Ordinary Shares and could impair our ability to raise capital in the future through the sale of equity securities. . Under “at the market” or continuous equity offerings”, we will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices and number of shares sold.

An active trading market for our Ordinary Shares may not be sustained.

Although our Ordinary Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC, the market for our Ordinary Shares has demonstrated varying levels of trading activity. The current level of trading may not be sustained in the future. The lack of an active market for our Ordinary Shares may impair investors’ ability to sell their Ordinary Shares at the time they wish to sell them or at a price that they consider reasonable, may reduce the fair market value of their Ordinary Shares and may impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling Ordinary Shares and may impair our ability to acquire additional assets by using our Ordinary Shares as consideration.

Our business could suffer as a result of tariffs and trade sanctions or similar actions.

The imposition by the U.S. government of trade measures, including tariffs, sanctions or other restrictions on goods exported from, or imported into, the United States, or countermeasures imposed in response to such U.S. government trade measures, could adversely affect global economic conditions, our operations or our ability to sell our products globally, which could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. Recently, the U.S. government has initiated the imposition of stronger trade measures on certain goods exported from, or imported into, the U.S., and reciprocally non-U.S. governments have increased their threat and implementation of countermeasures. For example, recently, the U.S. government announced proposed tariffs on imports of semiconductor chips into the U.S. The U.S. President has increased, and reserved for further increases in, the scope and amount of tariffs in the event of retaliatory countermeasures, and the future of existing tariffs and, as a result, the possibility for new tariffs and countermeasures, remains very uncertain. A large amount of our current supply chain does not directly import products to the U.S. as we supply to contract manufacturers located outside the U.S. This is the case even when our ultimate customer is a U.S. company. However, the tariffs on imports of semiconductor chips, or products containing semiconductor chips, into the U.S. could impact upon the contract manufacturers, and the entire semiconductor supply chain, when the finished goods are delivered to the end-customer. Furthermore, end-customers may seek to restructure the supply chain to areas or countries unaffected by tariffs, or demand for the semiconductor supply chain to absorb the added costs of the tariffs and that will, in turn, reduce our revenue and gross profit. There is a further possibility that any future tariffs may still impact upon our ability to sell our product and to remain competitive in the market. Escalations in trade measures may directly impair our business by increasing trade-related costs or disrupting established supply chains and may indirectly impair our business by causing a negative effect on global economic conditions and financial markets. In addition, de-escalation of trade measures, or selected exemptions from trade measures, may not result in an immediate increase in our business activity. The ultimate impact of the evolving trade measures is uncertain and may be affected by various factors, including whether and when such trade measures are implemented, the timing when such measures may become effective, and the amount, scope, or nature of such trade measures.

Additional changes or threatened changes in U.S. trade measures have affected and may continue to affect trade involving many countries as well, including Mexico, Canada, Colombia, Taiwan, the People’s Republic of China, the United Kingdom, and the member countries of the European Union. Each of these measures or threatened measures may instigate reciprocal countermeasures by affected countries, potentially accelerating further increases in trade measures. Any trade measure against Taiwan may specifically target imports of semiconductor products, which, if imposed, could seriously and negatively affect our business and the U.S. economy overall. The materials subject to these trade measures may impact the cost or availability of raw materials used by our suppliers or in our customers’ products. We cannot predict the evolving trade policies, but the imposition of trade measures by the U.S. on a broader range of imports, or further retaliatory trade measures taken in response to additional U.S. trade measures, could increase costs in our supply chain or reduce demand of our customers’ products, either of which could adversely affect our results of operations. Any increase in trade-related costs associated with such measures may impair the profitability of such international production, may strain our suppliers’ ability to reliably provide inputs necessary to produce these items, and may otherwise affect our partners’ abilities to provide our products at previously contracted prices. Our business and financial results could be negatively affected as a result.

Risks Related to Our Investment Policy and Investment Portfolio

The value of our investment portfolio may decline.

The Company’s Investment Policy permits the Company to invest from time to time in securities and certain crypto-currencies as approved by the Board (collectively referred to herein as the “Approved Crypto-Currencies”), including Bitcoin, Ethereum, HBAR (which are digital assets based on an open source cryptographic protocol existing on the Hedera Network), and WECAN tokens (which are Ethereum-based native utility token compliant with the ERC-20 standard tokens issued by WeCan Group SA, (a Swiss blockchain and data compliance company in which SEALSQ Corp has a 28.30% equity stake)), and the Company will be exposed to market volatility in connection with these investments. The Company’s financial position and financial performance could be adversely affected by worsening market conditions or poor performance of such investments. Bitcoin, for example, is a highly volatile asset and has experienced significant price fluctuations over time. Our crypto-currency strategy has not been tested and may prove unsuccessful. The Company may also invest from time to time in nonmarketable securities and may need to hold such instruments for a long period of time and may not be able to realize a return of its cash investment should there be a need to liquidate to obtain cash at any given time. The Company may also invest from time to time in securities that are interest-bearing securities and if there are changes in interest rates, those changes would affect the interest income the Company earns on these investments and, therefore, impact its cash flows and results of operations, as well as the value of such assets as reflected on the balance sheet.

Our investment portfolio may be concentrated in just a few holdings, which may result in a single holding significantly impacting the value of our investment portfolio.

The Company’s investment portfolio is overseen in accordance with the guidelines approved by the Investment Committee pursuant to the Investment Policy. The Company’s investment portfolio may be concentrated in just a few holdings. Accordingly, a significant decline in the market value of one or more of such holdings may not be offset by hypothetically better performance of the other holdings, if any. This concentration of risk may result in a more pronounced effect on net income and stockholders’ equity and may result in greater volatility in the fair market value of the Company’s investment portfolio from one period to another.

The trading prices of many digital assets, including the Approved Crypto-Currencies, have experienced extreme volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. Extreme volatility in the future, including declines in the trading prices of any of the Approved Crypto-Currencies, is likely to influence our financial results and the market price of our ordinary shares.

Digital assets are highly volatile assets, and to the extent we hold material positions in the Approved Crypto-Currencies or other digital assets, fluctuations in the price of any of the Approved Crypto-Currencies or other digital assets are likely to influence our financial results and, as a result, the market price of our ordinary shares. To the extent we hold material positions in the Approved Crypto-Currencies or other digital assets, our financial results and the market price of our ordinary shares would be adversely affected, and our business and financial condition would be negatively impacted, if the price of any of the Approved Crypto-Currencies or other digital assets decreased substantially (as it has in the past, such as during 2022), including as a result of:

The Approved Crypto-Currencies and other digital assets are novel assets, and are subject to significant legal, commercial, regulatory and technical uncertainty.

The Approved Crypto-Currencies and other digital assets are relatively novel and are subject to significant uncertainty, which could adversely impact their price. The application of state and federal securities laws and other laws and regulations to digital assets is unclear in certain respects and evolving, and it is possible that regulators in the United States or other countries may interpret or apply existing laws and regulations in a manner that adversely affects the price of any of the Approved Crypto-Currencies.

The U.S. federal government, states, regulatory agencies, and foreign countries may also enact new laws and regulations, or pursue regulatory, legislative, enforcement or judicial actions, that could materially impact the price of any of the Approved Crypto-Currencies and other digital assets or the ability of individuals or institutions to own or transfer any of the Approved Crypto-Currencies and other digital assets. Regulatory authorities have been evolving in their approach to digital assets. It is not possible to predict whether, or when, any of these developments will lead to Congress granting additional authorities to the SEC or other regulators, or whether, or when, any other federal, state or foreign legislative bodies will take any similar actions. It is also not possible to predict the nature of any such additional authorities, how additional legislation or regulatory oversight might impact the ability of digital asset markets to function or the willingness of financial and other institutions to continue to provide services to the digital assets industry, nor how any new regulations or changes to existing regulations might impact the value of digital assets generally, and the Approved Crypto-Currencies specifically. The consequences of increased regulation of digital assets and digital asset activities could adversely affect the market price of any of the Approved Crypto-Currencies and, in turn, adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares.

Moreover, the risks of engaging in a digital asset treasury strategy are relatively novel and have created, and could continue to create, complications due to the lack of experience that third parties have with companies engaging in such a strategy, such as increased costs of director and officer liability insurance or the potential inability to obtain such coverage on acceptable terms in the future.

The growth of the digital assets industry in general, and the use and acceptance of the Approved Crypto-Currencies in particular, may also impact the price of any of the Approved Crypto-Currencies or other digital assets and is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The pace of worldwide growth in the adoption and use of the Approved Crypto-Currencies may depend, for instance, on public familiarity with digital assets, ease of buying, accessing or gaining exposure to the Approved Crypto-Currencies, institutional demand for the Approved Crypto-Currencies as an investment asset, the participation of traditional financial institutions in the digital assets industry, consumer demand for the Approved Crypto-Currencies as a means of payment, and the availability and popularity of alternatives to the Approved Crypto-Currencies. Even if growth in the adoption of the Approved Crypto-Currencies occurs in the near or medium-term, there is no assurance that usage of the Approved Crypto-Currencies will continue to grow over the long-term.

Because the Approved Crypto-Currencies have no physical existence beyond the record of transactions on their respective blockchains and networks, a variety of technical factors related to the Approved Crypto-Currencies blockchains and networks could also impact the price of the Approved Crypto-Currencies. For example, malicious attacks by miners, inadequate mining fees to incentivize validating of Bitcoin transactions, hard “forks” of the Bitcoin blockchain into multiple blockchains, and advances in digital computing, algebraic geometry, and quantum computing could undercut the integrity of the Bitcoin blockchain or other digital asset blockchains and networks and negatively affect the price of Bitcoin or other digital assets. The liquidity of Bitcoin or other digital assets may also be reduced and damage to the public perception of Bitcoin or other digital assets may occur, if financial institutions were to deny or limit banking services to businesses that hold Bitcoin, provide Bitcoin or other digital asset-related services or accept Bitcoin or other digital assets as payment, which could also decrease the price of Bitcoin or other digital assets. Similarly, the open-source nature of the Bitcoin blockchain or other digital asset blockchains means the contributors and developers of the Bitcoin blockchain or other digital assets are generally not directly compensated for their contributions in maintaining and developing the blockchain, and any failure to properly monitor and upgrade such blockchains could adversely affect such blockchains and negatively affect the price of Bitcoin or other digital assets.

The launch of central bank digital currencies (“CBDCs”) may change consumer preferences and the perceived value or prospects of digital assets.

The introduction of a government-issued digital currency could eliminate or reduce the need or demand for private-sector issued crypto currencies, or significantly limit their utility. National governments around the world could introduce CBDCs, which could in turn limit the size of the market opportunity for cryptocurrencies, and change consumer preferences and the perceived value or prospects of digital assets.

HBAR is the native token of the Hedera public network, which differs materially from conventional blockchains. Investing in or holding HBAR could expose us to risks specific to Hedera’s technology, governance, and token economics.

The Hedera network is governed and controlled by the Hedera Governing Council, which is comprised of a limited number of multinational corporations and academic institutions, and it retains the authority to direct protocol upgrades, determine validator participation, and influence network policy. Therefore, control is concentrated in a small group and decisions adverse to HBAR holders could be made without broad community consent. Hedera’s hashgraph consensus algorithm remains relatively new and previously undiscovered weaknesses may emerge as usage grows. Certain features of HBAR, such as token freezing, KYC/AML compliance flags, and issuer-controlled minting and burning, could expose network participants and developers to heightened scrutiny under evolving securities, commodities, and payments regulations across multiple jurisdictions.

The WECAN tokens are novel, highly speculative digital assets that entail risks beyond those inherent in Ethereum-based ERC-20 tokens

WECAN tokens rely on a proprietary and semi-permissioned infrastructure, which may concentrate operational control and create a single point of systemic failure. Given that the WECAN tokens are used in digital identity, such as KYC/AML verification, and data auditability functions, there is a risk of heightened exposure to regulatory and compliance oversight across multiple jurisdictions. Since the WECAN tokens have low trading volumes and a high token supply, there is a greater risk of price manipulation, impaired secondary market exit, and dilution upon the release of vested or reserved token allocations. Further, the success of the WECAN token, in part, is dependent on enterprise adoption and strategic partnerships and if those do not materialize, the WECAN token may lose value or cease to exist. The WECAN token is built on the ERC-20 standard, and it is, therefore, exposed to technical vulnerabilities in the ERC-20 standard and in any bridging mechanisms used to link Ethereum and the WECAN infrastructure.

Changes in the governance of a digital asset network or protocol may not receive sufficient support from users and validators, which may negatively affect that digital asset network’s or protocol’s ability to grow and respond to challenges.

The governance of some digital asset networks and protocols, such as the Bitcoin and Ethereum Networks, is generally by voluntary consensus and open competition. For such networks and protocols, there may be a lack of consensus or clarity on that network’s or protocol’s governance, which may stymie such network’s or protocol’s utility, adaptability and ability to grow and face challenges. The foregoing notwithstanding, the underlying software for some digital networks and protocols is informally or formally managed or developed by a group of core developers that propose amendments to the relevant network’s or protocol’s source code. Core developers’ roles may evolve over time, generally based on self-determined participation.

If a significant majority of users and validators were to adopt amendments to the networks for the Approved Crypto-Currencies based on the proposals of such core developers, the networks for the Approved Crypto-Currencies would be subject to new source code that may adversely affect the value of the Approved Crypto-Currencies.

As a result of the foregoing, it may be difficult to find solutions or marshal sufficient effort to overcome any future problems, especially long-term problems, on digital asset networks.

If we or our third-party service providers experience a security breach or cyberattack and unauthorized parties obtain access to our Approved Crypto-Currencies, or if our private keys are lost or destroyed, or other similar circumstances or events occur, we may lose some or all of our Approved Crypto-Currencies and our financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Security breaches and cyberattacks are of particular concern with respect to our holdings and potential holdings of the Approved Crypto-Currencies or other digital assets. The Approved Crypto-Currencies and other blockchain-based cryptocurrencies and the entities that provide services to participants in the digital asset ecosystems have been, and may in the future be, subject to security breaches, cyberattacks, or other malicious activities. For example, in October 2021 it was reported that hackers exploited a flaw in the account recovery process and stole from the accounts of at least 6,000 customers of the Coinbase exchange, although the flaw was subsequently fixed and Coinbase reimbursed affected customers. Similarly, in November 2022, hackers exploited weaknesses in the security architecture of the FTX Trading digital asset exchange and reportedly stole over $400 million in digital assets from customers. A successful security breach or cyberattack could result in:

Further, any actual or perceived data security breach or cybersecurity attack directed at other companies with digital assets or companies that operate digital asset networks, regardless of whether we are directly impacted, could lead to a general loss of confidence in the broader blockchain ecosystem or in the use of the blockchain ecosystems to conduct financial transactions, which could negatively impact us.

Attacks upon systems across a variety of industries, including industries related to Bitcoin and/or Ethereum, are increasing in frequency, persistence, and sophistication, and, in many cases, are being conducted by sophisticated, well-funded and organized groups and individuals, including state actors. The techniques used to obtain unauthorized, improper or illegal access to systems and information (including personal data and digital assets), disable or degrade services, or sabotage systems are constantly evolving, may be difficult to detect quickly, and often are not recognized or detected until after they have been launched against a target. These attacks may occur on our systems or those of our third-party service providers or partners. We may experience breaches of our security measures due to human error, malfeasance, insider threats, system errors or vulnerabilities or other irregularities. In particular, we expect that unauthorized parties will attempt, to gain access to our systems and facilities, as well as those of our partners and third-party service providers, through various means, such as hacking, social engineering, phishing and fraud. Threats can come from a variety of sources, including criminal hackers, hacktivists, state-sponsored intrusions, industrial espionage, and insiders. In addition, certain types of attacks could harm us even if our systems are left undisturbed. For example, certain threats are designed to remain dormant or undetectable, sometimes for extended periods of time, or until launched against a target and we may not be able to implement adequate preventative measures. Further, there has been an increase in such activities due to the increase in work-from-home arrangements. The risk of cyberattacks could also be increased by cyberwarfare in connection with the ongoing or future military and/or geopolitical conflicts, including potential proliferation of malware into systems unrelated to such conflicts. Any future breach of our operations or those of others in the digital asset industry, including third-party services on which we rely, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We face risks relating to the custody of any Approved Crypto-Currency we may hold, including the loss or destruction of private keys required to access such digital assets and cyberattacks or other data loss relating to our digital asssets.

We intend to hold our Approved Crypto-Currencies with regulated custodians that have duties to safeguard our private keys. Our holdings of any of our Approved Crypto-Currencies may be concentrated with a single custodian from time to time. In light of the significant amount of Approved Crypto-Currencies we may hold, we would seek to engage additional custodians to achieve a greater degree of diversification in the custody of our Approved Crypto-Currencies we may hold as the extent of potential risk of loss is dependent, in part, on the degree of diversification. If there is a decrease in the availability of digital asset custodians that we believe can safely custody any of the Approved Crypto-Currencies we may hold, for example, due to regulatory developments or enforcement actions that cause custodians to discontinue or limit their services in the United States or consolidation in the custody industry, we may need to take other measures to custody any of the Approved Crypto-Currencies we may hold, and our ability to seek a greater degree of diversification in the use of custodial services would be materially adversely affected.

Any insurance that we obtain that would covers losses of our holdings of digital assets may only cover a small fraction of the value of the entirety of our digital asset holdings, and there can be no guarantee that such insurance will be maintained as part of the custodial services we may have or that such coverage will cover losses with respect to our digital assets. Moreover, the use of custodians may expose us to the risk that the digital assets that custodians may hold on our behalf could be subject to insolvency proceedings and we could be treated as a general unsecured creditor of the custodian, inhibiting our ability to exercise ownership rights with respect to such digital assets. Any loss associated with such insolvency proceedings is unlikely to be covered by any insurance coverage we may maintain related to our digital assets.

The Approved Crypto-Currencies are controllable only by the possessor of both the unique public key and private key(s) relating to the local or online digital wallet in which such digital assets are held. While the blockchain ledger for the Approved Crypto-Currencies requires a public key relating to a digital wallet to be published when used in a transaction, private keys must be safeguarded and kept private in order to prevent a third party from accessing the Approved Crypto-Currencies held in such wallet. To the extent the private key(s) for a digital wallet are lost, destroyed, or otherwise compromised and no backup of the private key(s) is accessible, neither we nor our custodians will be able to access the Approved Crypto-Currencies held in the related digital wallet. Furthermore, we cannot provide assurance that our digital wallets, nor the digital wallets of our custodians held on our behalf, will not be compromised as a result of a cyberattack. The Bitcoin and blockchain ledger, as well as other digital assets and Decentralized Ledger technologies, have been, and may in the future be, subject to security breaches, cyberattacks, or other malicious activities.

Our digital asset treasury strategy exposes us to risk of non-performance by counterparties

Our digital asset treasury strategy exposes us to the risk of non-performance by counterparties, whether contractual or otherwise. Risk of non-performance includes inability or refusal of a counterparty to perform because of a deterioration in the counterparty’s financial condition and liquidity or for any other reason. For example, our execution partners, custodians, or other counterparties might fail to perform in accordance with the terms of our agreements with them, which could result in a loss of the digital assets, a loss of the opportunity to generate funds, or other losses.

One of the counterparty risks with respect to digital assets is custodian default in the performance of obligations under the various custody arrangements we may enter into. A series of recent high-profile bankruptcies, closures, liquidations, regulatory enforcement actions and other events relating to companies operating in the digital asset industry, the closure or liquidation of certain financial institutions that provided lending and other services to the digital assets industry, SEC enforcement actions against other providers, and placement into receivership or civil fraud lawsuit against digital asset industry participants have highlighted the perceived and actual counterparty risk applicable to digital asset ownership and trading. Legal precedent created in these bankruptcy and other proceedings may increase the risk of future rulings adverse to our interests in the event one or more of our custodians becomes a debtor in a bankruptcy case or is the subject of other liquidation, insolvency or similar proceedings.

While custodians are subject to regulatory regimes intended to protect customers in the event of a custodial bankruptcy, receivership or similar insolvency proceeding, no assurance can be provided that any custodially-held digital assets will not become part of the custodian’s insolvency estate if one or more of the custodians enters bankruptcy, receivership or similar insolvency proceedings. Additionally, if we pursue any strategies to create income streams or otherwise generate funds using our digital assets, we would become subject to additional counterparty risks. Although no such strategies are contemplated at this time, we will need to carefully evaluate market conditions, including price volatility as well as service provider terms and market reputations and performance, among others, prior to implementing any such strategy, all of which could affect our ability to successfully implement and execute on any such future strategy. These risks, along with any significant non-performance by counterparties, including in particular the custodians with which we may custody substantially all of our digital assets, could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results.

The availability of spot Bitcoin Exchange Traded Products and Ethereum Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) may adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares.

Although Bitcoin, Ethereum and other digital assets have experienced a surge of investor attention since Bitcoin was invented in 2008, until recently investors in the United States had limited means to gain direct exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum through traditional investment channels, and instead generally were only able to hold Bitcoin and Ethereum through “hosted” wallets provided by digital asset service providers or through “unhosted” wallets that expose the investor to risks associated with loss or hacking of their private keys. Given the relative novelty of digital assets, general lack of familiarity with the processes needed to hold Bitcoin or Ethereum directly, as well as the potential reluctance of financial planners and advisers to recommend direct Bitcoin or Ethereum holdings to their retail customers because of the manner in which such holdings are custodied, some investors have sought exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum through investment vehicles that hold Bitcoin and Ethereum, respectively, and issue shares representing fractional undivided interests in their underlying Bitcoin or Ethereum holdings. These vehicles, which were previously offered only to “accredited investors” on a private placement basis, have in the past traded at substantial premiums or discounts to net asset value, or NAV, possibly due to the relative scarcity of traditional investment vehicles providing investment exposure to Bitcoin or Ethereum, or due to the inability to convert such instruments to digital asset holdings, or withdraw digital assets from such facilities.

In 2024, the SEC approved the listing and trading of spot Bitcoin ETPs and spot Ethereum ETPs, the shares of which can be sold in public offerings and are traded on U.S. national securities exchanges. To the extent investors view our ordinary shares as providing exposure to Bitcoin or Ethereum, it is possible that the value of our ordinary shares may have included (or may in the future include) a premium over the value of Bitcoin or Ethereum we were expected to hold (or that we may in the future hold) due to the prior scarcity of traditional investment vehicles providing investment exposure to Bitcoin or Ethereum or may be subject to declined due to investors now having a greater range of options to gain exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum and investors choosing to gain such exposure through ETPs rather than our ordinary shares.

Although we are an operating company with a post-quantum technology hardware and software solutions business, and we believe we offer a different value proposition than a passive Bitcoin or Ethereum investment vehicle such as a spot Bitcoin ETP or spot Ethereum ETP, investors may nevertheless view our ordinary shares as an alternative to an investment in an ETP, and choose to purchase shares of a spot Bitcoin ETP or spot Ethereum ETP instead of our ordinary shares. They may do so for a variety of reasons, including if they believe that ETPs offer a “pure play” exposure to Bitcoin or Ethereum that is generally not subject to federal income tax at the entity level as we are, or the other risk factors applicable to an operating business, such as ours. Additionally, unlike spot Bitcoin ETPs or spot Ethereum ETPs, we (i) do not seek for our shares to track the value of the underlying Bitcoin or Ethereum we hold before payment of expenses and liabilities, (ii) do not benefit from various exemptions and relief under the Exchange Act, including Regulation M, and other securities laws, which enable spot Bitcoin ETPs and spot Ethereum ETPs to continuously align the value of their shares to the price of the underlying Bitcoin or Ethereum they hold through share creation and redemption, (iii) are a British Virgin Islands corporation rather than a statutory trust, and do not operate pursuant to a trust agreement that would require us to pursue one or more stated investment objectives, and (iv) are not required to provide daily transparency as to our Bitcoin and Ethereum holdings or our daily NAV. Furthermore, recommendations by broker-dealers to buy, hold, or sell complex products and non-traditional ETPs, or an investment strategy involving such products, may be subject to additional or heightened scrutiny that would not be applicable to broker-dealers making recommendations with respect to our ordinary shares.  

As a result of the foregoing factors, availability of spot Bitcoin ETPs and spot Ethereum ETPs on U.S. national securities exchanges could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our ordinary shares

Our digital asset treasury strategy subjects us to enhanced regulatory oversight.

As noted above, several spot Bitcoin ETPs and spot Ethereum ETPs have received approval from the SEC to list their shares on a U.S. national securities exchange with continuous share creation and redemption at NAV. Even though we are not, and do not function in the manner of, a spot Bitcoin ETP or a spot Ethereum ETP, it is possible that we nevertheless could face regulatory scrutiny from the SEC or other federal or state agencies due to our holdings of digital assets. For example, if we hold a substantial portion of our assets in the form of digital assets, or if we earn a substantial portion of our income from digital assets, regulators could take the position that we are a commodity pool operator or otherwise subject to regulations (including registration requirements) under the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936 (as amended, the “CEA”) and/or, to the extent such digital assets are treated as securities, that we are an investment company subject to regulations (including registration requirements) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended, the “ICA”). We currently do not believe that our planned digital asset treasury strategy will require registration under the CEA or the ICA, but if regulators believe otherwise, we could be subject to enforcement action, or we may be required to discontinue such strategy or incur substantial costs to register and comply with regulations under the CEA and/or the ICA.

In addition, there has been increasing focus on the extent to which digital assets can be used to launder the proceeds of illegal activities, fund criminal or terrorist activities, or circumvent sanctions regimes, including those sanctions imposed in response to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. While we have implemented and maintain policies and procedures reasonably designed to promote compliance with applicable anti-money laundering and sanctions laws and regulations and plan take care to only acquire our digital assets through entities subject to anti-money laundering regulation and related compliance rules in the United States, if we are found to have purchased any of our Approved Crypto-Currencies from bad actors that have used digital assets to launder money or persons subject to sanctions, we may be subject to regulatory proceedings and any further transactions or dealings in digital assets by us may be restricted or prohibited.

Additional laws, guidance and policies may be issued by domestic and foreign regulators following the filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection by FTX Trading, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, in November 2022. U.S. and foreign regulators have also increased, and are highly likely to continue to increase, enforcement activity, and are likely to adopt new regulatory requirements in response to FTX Trading’s collapse. Increased enforcement activity and changes in the regulatory environment, including changing interpretations and the implementation of new or varying regulatory requirements by the government or any new legislation affecting digital assets, as well as enforcement actions involving or impacting our trading venues, counterparties and custodians, may impose significant costs or significantly limit our ability to hold and transact in digital assets.

In addition, private actors that are wary of digital assets or the regulatory concerns associated with digital assets may in the future take further actions that may have an adverse effect on our business or the market price of our ordinary shares.

Due to the currently unregulated nature and lack of transparency surrounding the operations of many digital asset trading venues, digital asset trading venues may experience greater fraud, security failures or regulatory or operational problems than trading venues for more established asset classes, which may result in a loss of confidence in digital asset trading venues and adversely affect the value of our digital assets.

Digital asset trading venues are relatively new and, in many cases, unregulated. Even if regulated, such venues may not be complying with such regulations. Furthermore, there are many crypto assets trading venues that do not provide the public with significant information regarding their ownership structure, management teams, corporate practices and regulatory compliance. As a result, the marketplace may lose confidence in digital asset trading venues, including prominent exchanges that handle a significant volume of Bitcoin, Ethereum or other digital asset trading and/or are subject to regulatory oversight, in the event one or more Bitcoin, Ethereum or other digital asset trading venues cease or pause for a prolonged period the trading of Bitcoin, Ethereum or other digital assets, or experience fraud, significant volumes of withdrawal, security failures or operational problems.

In 2019 there were reports claiming that 80-95% of Bitcoin trading volume on trading venues was false or non-economic in nature, with specific focus on currently unregulated exchanges located outside of the United States. Any actual or perceived false trading in the digital asset markets, and any other fraudulent or manipulative acts and practices, could adversely affect the value of our Approved Crypto-Currencies. Negative perception, a lack of stability in the broader digital asset markets and the closure, temporary shutdown or operational disruption of digital asset trading venues, lending institutions, institutional investors, institutional miners, custodians, or other major participants in the digital asset ecosystem, due to fraud, business failure, cybersecurity events, government-mandated regulation, bankruptcy, or for any other reason, may result in a decline in confidence in any of the Approved Crypto-Currencies and the broader digital asset ecosystem and greater volatility in the price of the Approved Crypto-Currencies. For example, in 2022, each of Celsius Network, Voyager Digital, Three Arrows Capital, FTX Trading, and BlockFi filed for bankruptcy, following which the market prices of Bitcoin and other digital assets significantly declined. As the price of our ordinary shares could be affected by the value of any digital assets we may hold, the failure of a major participant in the digital asset ecosystem could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our ordinary shares.

Our failure to deal appropriately with conflicts of interest could adversely affect our businesses.

Certain of our executive officers, members of our Investment Committee and members of the Board of Directors engage in personal investment activities. These personal investments, done in their individual capacities or through affiliated investment vehicles, may give rise to potential conflicts or perceived conflicts between the personal financial interests of the executive officers, members of our Investment Committee or members of the Board of Directors and the interests of us, any of our subsidiaries or any stockholder other than such executive officers, members of our Investment Committee or members of the Board of Directors.

In addition, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and member of the Board of Directors, Carlos Moreira, is a member of the board of directors of WeCan Group SA (“WeCan”), the developer of the WECAN token. As of September 22, 2025, we held a 28.3% equity stake in WeCan. While Mr. Moreira will recuse himself from any decision making regarding any investment in the WECAN token, these relationships may give rise to potential conflicts or perceived conflicts between Mr. Moreira’s duty as a member of the board of directors of WeCan and his duty to our Company.

Our historical financial statements do not reflect the potential variability in earnings that we may experience in the future relating to holdings of digital assets.

Our historical financial statements do not fully reflect the potential variability in earnings that we may experience in the future from acquiring, holding or selling significant amounts of digital assets.

The price of Bitcoin and other digital assets has historically been subject to dramatic price fluctuations and is highly volatile.

We expect to determine the fair value of our Approved Crypto-Currencies based on quoted (unadjusted) prices on the applicable exchange (if available), and following adoption of ASU 2023-08, will be required to measure our holdings of the Approved Crypto-Currencies at fair value in our statement of financial position, and to recognize gains and losses from changes in the fair value of our Approved Crypto-Currencies in net income each reporting period, which may create significant volatility in our reported earnings and decrease the carrying value of our digital assets, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our ordinary shares. Conversely, any sale of our Approved Crypto-Currencies at prices above our carrying value for such assets creates a gain for financial reporting purposes even if we would otherwise incur an economic or tax loss with respect to such transaction, which also may result in significant volatility in our reported earnings.

Due in particular to the volatility in the price of Bitcoin, Ethereum and HBAR, we expect our adoption of ASU 2023-08 to increase the volatility of our financial results and it could significantly affect the carrying value of our Bitcoin and Ethereum on our balance sheet. Due to the Company’s investment in WeCan Group SA, the developer of the WeCan token, our investment in the WeCan token will be valued at cost and reviewed periodically for indicators of impairment. Gains in the value of the WECAN token will only be recognized upon sale of the token.

Due to anticipated future purchases, we expect that the proportion of our total assets represented by our holdings of the Approved Crypto-Currencies will increase in the future. As a result, and in particular with respect to the periods with respect to which ASU 2023-08 will apply, and for all future periods, volatility in our earnings may be significantly more than what we experienced in prior periods.

The emergence or growth of new digital assets, including those with significant private or public sector backing, could have a negative impact on the price of the Approved Crypto-Currencies and adversely affect our business

There are numerous alternative digital assets and many entities, including consortiums and financial institutions, are researching and investing resources into private or permissioned blockchain platforms or digital assets. If such new digital assets are perceived as superior to those we may hold, those new digital assets could gain market share relative to those we may hold and the value of digital assets we may hold could decline or otherwise be lower than it otherwise would have been.

Additionally, central banks in some countries have started to introduce digital forms of legal tender. For example, China’s CBDC project was made available to consumers in January 2022, and governments including the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Israel have been discussing the potential creation of new CBDCs. Whether or not they incorporate blockchain or similar technology, CBDCs, as legal tender in the issuing jurisdiction, could also compete with, or replace, Bitcoin, Ethereum and other digital assets we may hold as a medium of exchange or store of value. As a result, the emergence or growth of these or other digital assets could cause the market price of the Approved Crypto-Currencies we may hold to decrease, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results.

Our holdings of digital assets will be less liquid than our existing cash and cash equivalents and may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for us to the same extent as cash and cash equivalents.

Historically, the digital asset markets have been characterized by significant volatility in price, limited liquidity and trading volumes compared to sovereign currencies markets, relative anonymity, a developing regulatory landscape, potential susceptibility to market abuse and manipulation, compliance and internal control failures at exchanges, and various other risks inherent in its entirely electronic, virtual form and decentralized network. During times of market instability, we may not be able to sell our digital assets at favorable prices or at all. For example, a number of Bitcoin trading venues temporarily halted deposits and withdrawals in 2022. As a result, our holdings of digital assets may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for us to the same extent as cash and cash equivalents. Further, the Approved Crypto-Currencies we intend to hold with our custodians and transact with our trade execution partners do not (and may not in the future) enjoy the same protections as are available to cash or securities deposited with or transacted by institutions subject to regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Additionally, we may be unable to enter into term loans or other capital raising transactions collateralized by our unencumbered digital assets, or otherwise generate funds using digital asset holdings, including in particular during times of market instability or when the price of our digital assets has declined significantly. If we are unable to sell our digital assets, enter into additional capital raising transactions using our digital assets as collateral, or otherwise generate funds using our digital asset holdings, or if we are forced to sell our digital assets at a significant loss, in order to meet our working capital requirements, our business and financial condition could be negatively impacted.

We are not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended, the “ICA”) or as a Commodity Pool Operator, Commodity Trading Advisor or otherwise under the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936 (as amended, the “CEA”) and shareholders do not have the protections associated with ownership of shares in a registered investment company under the ICA nor the protections afforded by the CEA.

The ICA is designed to protect investors by preventing insiders from managing investment companies to their benefit and to the detriment of public investors, such as the issuance of securities having inequitable or discriminatory provisions; the management of investment companies by irresponsible persons; the use of unsound or misleading methods of computing earnings and asset values; changes in the character of investment companies without the consent of investors; and investment companies engaging in excessive leveraging. To accomplish these ends, the ICA requires the safekeeping and proper valuation of fund assets, restricts greatly transactions with affiliates, limits leveraging, and imposes governance requirements as a check on fund management.

The Company is not registered as an investment company under the ICA, and believes that it is not required to register as such under the ICA. Consequently, our shareholders do not have the regulatory protections provided to investors in investment companies.

The Company will not hold or trade in commodity futures contracts regulated by the CEA, as administered by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”), and believes that it is not a commodity pool for purposes of the CEA, and is not subject to regulation by the CFTC as a commodity pool operator or a commodity trading advisor. Consequently, our shareholders will not have the regulatory protections provided to investors in CEA-regulated instruments or commodity pools.

Regulatory change reclassifying Bitcoin, Ethereum or other digital assets as a security could lead to our classification as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act, and could adversely affect the market price of Bitcoin, Ethereum or our other digital asset holdings and the market price of our ordinary shares.

Under Sections 3(a)(1)(A) and (C) of the ICA, a company generally will be deemed to be an “investment company” for purposes of the ICA (1) it is, or holds itself out as being, engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities or (2) it engages, or proposes to engage, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and it owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. We do not believe that we are an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the ICA, and are not registered as an “investment company” under the ICA as of the date hereof.

While certain SEC officials have stated their personal view that Bitcoin is not a “security” for purposes of the federal securities laws, and the SEC closed an investigation into Ethereum and will not pursue charges alleging that sales of Ethereum are securities transactions, a contrary determination by the SEC, a determination that other digital assets we may hold are securities (or our purchase of any of the Approved Crypto-Currencies via a securitized product) could lead to our classification as an “investment company” under the ICA, if the portion of our assets consisting of digital assets treated as securities, together with other securities we hold, exceeds the applicable thresholds in the ICA, which would subject us to significant additional regulatory controls that could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations and may also require us to change the manner in which we conduct our business.

We monitor our assets and income for compliance under the ICA and seek to conduct our business activities in a manner such that we do not fall within its definitions of “investment company” or that we qualify under one of the exemptions or exclusions provided by the ICA and corresponding SEC regulations. If any of our digital assets are determined to constitute a security for purposes of the federal securities laws, we would take steps to reduce the percentage of such digital assets that constitute investment securities under the ICA. These steps may include, among others, selling our digital assets that we might otherwise hold for the long term and deploying our cash in non-investment assets, and we may be forced to sell our digital assets at unattractive prices. We may also seek to acquire additional non-investment assets to maintain compliance with the ICA, and we may need to incur debt, issue additional equity or enter into other financing arrangements that are not otherwise attractive to our business. Any of these actions could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, we can make no assurance that we would successfully be able to take the necessary steps to avoid being deemed to be an investment company. If we were unsuccessful, then we would have to register as an investment company, and the additional regulatory restrictions imposed by ICA could adversely affect the market price of our digital assets and in turn adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares.

Our custodially-held digital assets may become part of the custodian’s insolvency estate if one or more of our custodians enters bankruptcy, receivership or similar insolvency proceedings.

If digital assets we may hold with custodians are considered to be the property of our custodians’ estates in the event that any such custodians were to enter bankruptcy, receivership or similar insolvency proceedings, we could be treated as a general unsecured creditor of such custodians, inhibiting our ability to exercise ownership rights with respect to such digital assets and this may ultimately result in the loss of the value related to some or all of such digital assets. A series of high-profile bankruptcies, closures, liquidations, regulatory enforcement actions and other events relating to companies operating in the digital asset industry, including the filings for bankruptcy protection by Three Arrows Capital, Celsius Network, Voyager Digital, FTX Trading and Genesis Global Capital, the closure or liquidation of certain financial institutions that provided lending and other services to the digital assets industry, including Signature Bank and Silvergate Bank, SEC enforcement actions against Coinbase, Inc. and Binance Holdings Ltd., the placement of Prime Trust, LLC into receivership following a cease-and-desist order issued by Nevada’s Department of Business and Industry, and the filing and subsequent settlement of a civil fraud lawsuit by the New York Attorney General against Genesis Global Capital, its parent company Digital Currency Group, Inc., and former partner Gemini Trust Company, have highlighted the counterparty risks applicable to owning and transacting in digital assets. Additional bankruptcies, closures, liquidations, regulatory enforcement actions or other events involving participants in the digital assets industry in the future may further negatively impact the adoption rate, price, and use of digital assets, limit the availability to us of financing collateralized by digital assets, or create or expose additional counterparty risks. Any loss associated with such insolvency proceedings is unlikely to be covered by any insurance coverage we may maintain related to digital asset holdings we may have. Even if we are able to prevent any digital assets we may hold from being considered the property of a custodian’s bankruptcy estate as part of an insolvency proceeding, it is possible that we would still be delayed or may otherwise experience difficulty in accessing any digital assets we may hold with the affected custodian during the pendency of the insolvency proceedings. Any such outcome could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the market price of our ordinary shares.

A temporary or permanent blockchain “fork” to our digital assets could adversely affect our business.

Blockchain protocols, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and the Hedera network, are open source. Any user can propose modifications to the protocol software. If a substantial majority of participants—such as miners in proof-of-work systems or validators in proof-of-stake systems—agree to adopt a proposed change, the modification may be implemented, allowing the protocol to evolve without disrupting network functionality. However, if less than a substantial majority of users and miners consent to the proposed modification, and the modification is not compatible with the software prior to its modification, the consequence would be what is known as a “fork”, i.e., “split” of the impacted blockchain protocol network and respective blockchain, with one prong running the pre-modified software and the other running the modified software. The effect of such a fork would be the existence of two parallel versions of the Bitcoin or other blockchain protocol network, as applicable, running simultaneously, but with each split network’s digital asset lacking interchangeability. A “hard fork” – where there is disagreement among the users about the rules of the network – can have a significant negative impact on value of the digital asset.

The Bitcoin network has been subject to “forks” that resulted in the creation of new networks, including Bitcoin cash ABC, Bitcoin cash SV, Bitcoin diamond, Bitcoin gold and others. Some of these forks have caused fragmentation among platforms as to the correct naming convention for forked crypto assets. Due to the lack of a central registry or rulemaking body, no single entity has the ability to dictate the nomenclature of forked digital assets, causing disagreements and a lack of uniformity among platforms on the nomenclature of forked digital assets, and which results in further confusion to customers as to the nature of assets they hold on platforms, and which can negatively impact the value of the digital assets. In addition, several of these forks were contentious and as a result, participants in certain communities may harbor ill will towards other communities. As a result, certain community members may take actions that adversely impact the use, adoption, and price of Bitcoin, or any of their forked alternatives.

Furthermore, when the Ethereum and Ethereum Classic networks split in July 2016, replay attacks, in which transactions from one network were rebroadcast on the other network to achieve “double-spending,” plagued platforms that traded Ethereum through at least October 2016, resulting in significant losses to some crypto asset platforms. Similar replay attacks occurred in connection with the Bitcoin cash and Bitcoin cash SV network split in November 2018. Another possible result of a hard fork is an inherent decrease in the level of security due to the splitting of some mining power across networks, making it easier for a malicious actor to exceed 50% of the mining power of that network, thereby making digital assets that rely on proof-of-work more susceptible to attack, as has occurred with Ethereum Classic.

We intend to recognize forked and airdropped assets consistent with our custodians’ practices and policies. We may not immediately or ever have the ability to withdraw a forked or airdropped Bitcoin, Ethereum or other digital assets that is received or created with respect to Bitcoin, Ethereum and/or other digital assets that we hold with our custodians. Future forks may occur at any time. A fork can lead to a disruption of networks and our information technology systems, cybersecurity attacks, replay attacks, or security weaknesses, any of which can further lead to temporary or even permanent loss of assets.

The due diligence procedures conducted by us and our liquidity provider to mitigate transaction risk may fail to prevent transactions with a sanctioned entity.

We plan to execute trades through liquidity providers, and will rely on these third parties to implement controls and procedures to mitigate the risk of transacting with sanctioned entities. While we expect such third-party service providers to conduct their business in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and in accordance with our contractual arrangements, there is no guarantee that they will do so. Accordingly, we may be exposed to risk that our due diligence procedures may fail. If we are found to have transacted in digital assets with bad actors that have used digital assets to launder money or with persons subject to sanctions, we may be subject to regulatory proceedings, or digital asset may be subject to freezing or forfeiture and any further transactions or dealings in digital assets by us may be restricted or prohibited.

DESCRIPTION OF ORDINARY SHARES

The following description of our share structure is a summary of the material terms of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and BVI corporate law regarding our shares and the holders thereof. This description contains all material information concerning our shares but does not purport to be complete.

General

We are a British Virgin Islands Business Company (company number 2095496) and our affairs are governed by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (“Articles”), the BVI Business Companies Act, Revised Edition 2020 (“BVI Act”) and common law of the British Virgin Islands. Based upon the Articles, we are authorized to issue a maximum of 510,000,000 shares in two classes as follows:

As of the date of this prospectus, 177,400,997 Ordinary Shares are issued and outstanding and 1,499,800 Class F Shares are issued and outstanding. No preferred shares are issued or outstanding or authorized by our Articles. The following description summarizes the material terms of our shares as set out more particularly in our Articles. Because it is only a summary, it may not contain all the information that is important to you.

Share Rights

Each Ordinary Share confers upon the shareholder:

Our Ordinary Shareholders have no conversion, pre-emptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the Ordinary Shares.

Each Class F Share confers upon the shareholder:

The Class F Shares are subject to mandatory and automatic redemption, in the event of a change of control (being the acquisition by any person or entity, alone or jointly, of more than 50% of the voting rights of any Class F Shareholder which is a corporate entity), as determined by the Company’s board of directors, in exchange for the issuance of new Ordinary Shares at a ratio of five (5) Ordinary Shares for each one (1) Class F Share redeemed.

The Class F Shares are non-transferable.

The Company and the holders of the Class F Shares have entered into a Class F Shareholders’ Agreement that provides, among other things, that the holders of Class F Shares:

Register of Members

Under the BVI Act, the shares are deemed to be issued when the name of the shareholder is entered in the register of members. Our register of members will be maintained by our transfer agent, Computershare Inc.

If:

a shareholder of the company, or any person who is aggrieved by the omission, inaccuracy or delay, may apply to the British Virgin Islands Courts for an order that the register be rectified, and the court may either refuse the application or order the rectification of the register, and may direct the Company to pay all costs of the application and any damages the applicant may have sustained.

Dividends

We have not paid any cash dividends on our shares to date. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings. Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and our Articles, we may only pay a dividend or make a distribution to our shareholders if, following such dividend or distribution, the value of our assets will exceed our liabilities and we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due. In addition, the Second Tranche Notes prohibit us and our subsidiaries from paying dividends or other cash distributions, except for intercompany transfers to us and payments to WISeKey.

Comparison of Shareholder Rights

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

The following description, together with the additional information we may include in any applicable prospectus supplements, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the warrants that we may offer under this prospectus and the related warrant agreements and warrant certificates. While the terms summarized below will apply generally to any warrants that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of warrants that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. If we indicate in the prospectus supplement, the terms of any warrants offered under that prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below. However, no prospectus supplement shall fundamentally change the terms that are set forth in this prospectus or offer a security that is not registered and described in this prospectus at the time of its effectiveness. Specific warrant agreements will contain additional important terms and provisions and will be incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement that includes this prospectus or as an exhibit to a report filed under the Exchange Act.

General

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of the warrants, including as applicable:

Warrants will be offered and exercisable for U.S. dollars only and will be in registered form only.

Holders of warrants will be able to exchange warrant certificates for new warrant certificates of different denominations, present warrants for registration of transfer, and exercise warrants at the designated office of the warrant agent in the applicable prospectus supplement. Prior to the exercise of any warrants, holders of the warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares will not have any rights of holders of Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive payments of dividends, if any, or to exercise any applicable right to vote.

Certain Risk Considerations

Any warrants we issue will involve a degree of risk, including risks arising from fluctuations in the price of the underlying Ordinary Shares and general risks applicable to the securities market (or markets) on which the underlying securities trade, as applicable. Prospective purchasers of the warrants will need to recognize that the warrants may expire worthless, and, thus, purchasers should be prepared to sustain a total loss of the purchase price of their warrants. This risk reflects the nature of a warrant as an asset that, other factors held constant, tends to decline in value over time and that may, depending on the price of the underlying securities, become worthless when it expires. The trading price of a warrant at any time is expected to increase if the price of or, if applicable, the dividend rate on, the underlying securities increases. Conversely, the trading price of a warrant is expected to decrease as the time remaining to expiration of the warrant decreases and as the price of or, if applicable, the dividend rate on, the underlying securities, decreases. Assuming all other factors are held constant, the more a warrant is “out-of-the-money” (i.e., the more the exercise price exceeds the price of the underlying securities and the shorter its remaining term to expiration), the greater the risk that a purchaser of the warrant will lose all or part of his or her investment. If the price of the underlying securities does not rise before the warrant expires to an extent sufficient to cover a purchaser’s cost of the warrant, the purchaser will lose all or part of his or her investment in the warrant upon expiration.

In addition, prospective purchasers of the warrants should be experienced with respect to options and option transactions, should understand the risks associated with options and should reach an investment decision only after careful consideration, with their financial advisers, of the suitability of the warrants in light of their particular financial circumstances and the information discussed in this prospectus and, if applicable, the prospectus supplement. Before purchasing, exercising or selling any warrants, prospective purchasers and holders of warrants should carefully consider, among other things:

Some of the factors referred to above are in turn influenced by various political, economic and other factors that can affect the trading price of the underlying securities and should be carefully considered prior to making any investment decisions.

Purchasers of the warrants should further consider that the initial offering price of the warrants may be in excess of the price that a purchaser of options might pay for a comparable option in a private, less liquid transaction. In addition, it is not possible to predict the price at which the warrants will trade in the secondary market or whether any such market will be liquid. We may, but will not be obligated to, file an application to list any warrants on a U.S. national securities exchange. To the extent that any warrants are exercised, the number of warrants outstanding will decrease, which may result in a lessening of the liquidity of the warrants. Finally, the warrants will constitute our direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations and, as such, will be subject to any changes in our perceived creditworthiness.

Exercise of Warrants

Each holder of a warrant will be entitled to purchase that number or amount of underlying securities, at the exercise price, as will in each case be described in the prospectus supplement relating to the offered warrants. After the close of business on the warrant expiration date (which may be extended by us), unexercised warrants will become void.

Holders may exercise warrants by delivering to the warrant agent payment as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement of the amount required to purchase the underlying securities purchasable upon exercise, together with the information set forth on the reverse side of the warrant certificate. Warrants will be deemed to have been exercised upon receipt of payment of the exercise price, subject to the receipt of the warrant certificate evidencing the exercised warrants. Upon receipt of payment and the warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed at the designated office of the warrant agent in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, issue and deliver the underlying securities purchasable upon such exercise. If fewer than all of the warrants represented by a warrant certificate are exercised, we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining amount of warrants.

Amendments and Supplements to Warrant Agreements

We may amend or supplement the warrant agreement without the consent of the holders of the warrants issued under the agreement to effect changes that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the warrants and that do not adversely affect the interests of the holders of warrants.

DESCRIPTION OF SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS

We may issue subscription rights to purchase our Ordinary Shares. These subscription rights may be issued independently or together with any other security offered hereby and may or may not be transferable by the shareholder receiving the subscription rights in such offering. In connection with any offering of subscription rights, we may enter into a standby arrangement with one or more underwriters or other purchasers pursuant to which the underwriters or other purchasers may be required to purchase any securities remaining unsubscribed for after such offering.

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

The description in the applicable prospectus supplement of any subscription rights we offer will not necessarily be complete and will be qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable subscription right agreement, which will be filed with the SEC if we offer subscription rights. For more information on how you can obtain copies of the applicable subscription right agreement if we offer subscription rights, see “Where You Can Find More Information” below and “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference” below. We urge you to read the applicable subscription right agreement and any applicable prospectus supplement in their entirety.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

We may issue units comprised of one or more of the other securities described in this prospectus in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe:

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any units. The preceding description and any description of units in the applicable prospectus supplement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the unit agreement and, if applicable, collateral arrangements and depositary arrangements relating to such units. For more information on how you can obtain copies of the applicable unit agreement if we offer units, see “Where You Can Find More Information” below and “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference” below. We urge you to read the applicable unit agreement and any applicable prospectus supplement in their entirety.

TAXATION

The material BVI and U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of any of the securities offered by this prospectus will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement offering those securities or incorporated by reference from our Annual Report on Form 20-F or other public filings we make with the SEC.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

Selling shareholders are persons or entities that, directly or indirectly, have acquired or will from time to time acquire from us, our securities. If the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is used by selling shareholders for the resale of any securities registered thereunder, we will provide you with a prospectus supplement, which will set forth the name of each selling shareholder, the number of securities beneficially owned by such selling shareholder and the number of securities they are offering. The prospectus supplement also will disclose whether any of the selling shareholders have held any position or office with, have been employed by or otherwise have had a material relationship with us during the three years prior to the date of the prospectus supplement.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The securities described in this prospectus may be sold by us and by selling shareholders (in each case as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement) through underwriters or dealers, through agents, directly to one or more purchasers, “at-the-market” offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or through a combination of these methods. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of the offering of the securities, including:

The securities described in this prospectus may be distributed from time to time in one or more transactions at:

Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement will be underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement.

If underwriters are used for the sale of securities described in this prospectus, the underwriters will either acquire the securities for their own account and may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or sell the securities on a “best efforts, minimum/maximum basis” when the underwriters agree to do their best to sell the securities to the public. The securities described in this prospectus may be offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may change from time to time.

If a dealer is used in the sale of the securities being offered pursuant to this prospectus or any prospectus supplement, the securities will be sold directly 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.

Our Ordinary Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Unless otherwise specified in the related prospectus supplement, all securities offered, other than Ordinary Shares, will be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriter may make a market in these securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We may apply to list securities that we offer on an exchange, but we are not obligated to do so. Therefore, there may not be liquidity or a trading market for any series of securities.

The securities may be sold directly or through agents so designated from time to time. Any agent involved in the offering and sale of securities and any commissions paid to the agent will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Agents or underwriters may be authorized to solicit offers by institutional investors to purchase securities from us or from selling shareholders at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The conditions to these contracts and the commissions to be paid for solicitation of these contracts in the applicable prospectus supplement.

In connection with the sale of the securities, underwriters, dealers or agents may receive compensation from us, from the selling shareholders or from purchasers of the securities for whom they act as agents in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. Underwriters 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 or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the securities, and any institutional investors or others that purchase securities directly and then resell the securities, may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts or commissions received by them from us and any profit on the resale of the securities by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

Certain legal matters with respect to British Virgin Islands law in connection with this offering are being passed upon for us by Harney Westwood & Riegels (BVI) LP. Certain matters of U.S. federal and New York law are being passed upon for us by Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP, New York, New York.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and our principal executive offices are located outside the United States. Most of our directors and officers and those of our subsidiaries are residents of countries other than the United States. Substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets and a substantial portion of the assets of our directors and officers are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for United States investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us, our directors or officers or our subsidiaries, or to realize against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

Furthermore, there is substantial doubt that courts in jurisdictions outside the U.S. (i) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us or our directors or officers based upon the civil liability provisions of applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws or (ii) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us or our directors or officers based on those laws.

PART II: INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

Item 8. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Articles provide that, subject to certain limitations, the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. Such indemnity is only permitted under the BVI Act and the Articles if the person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that their conduct was unlawful. The decision of the directors as to whether the person acted honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company and as to whether the person had no reasonable cause to believe that their conduct was unlawful, is, in the absence of fraud, sufficient for the purposes of the Articles, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement, conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi does not, by itself, create a presumption that the person did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that their conduct was unlawful.

The Company has entered into agreements with its officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in the Articles. The Articles also permit the Company to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any officer or director who at the request of the Company is or was serving as a director or officer of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another company or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by the person in that capacity, whether or not the Company has or would have had the power to indemnify the person against the liability as provided in the Articles. The Company has purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures the Company’s officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures the Company against its obligations to indemnify the Company’s officers and directors.

These provisions may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against the Company’s directors for breach of their statutory or fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and the shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent the Company pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

The Company believes that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are reasonable and necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 10. Undertakings 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales of securities are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(ii)   To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)   To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a) (1)  (ii), and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is a part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 need not be furnished, provided, that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, or Rule 3-19 of Regulation S- X if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.

(a)    Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(b)   Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(ii)    If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of securities:

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii)   The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about, prepared by or on behalf of, the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(b) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s Annual Report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s Annual Report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
