EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement No. 3 is being filed by Satellogic Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “Satellogic, “Satellogic Delaware,” or the “Registrant”), as the successor to Satellogic Inc., a business company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Satellogic BVI”) in order to (i) combine the prospectuses including securities remaining unsold under Registration Statement No. 3, Registration Statement No. 2 and Registration Statement No. 1. pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities Act; (ii) to convert each of the Registration Statements from a Form F-3 to a Form S-3 and (iii) in order for Satellogic Delaware, as successor issuer to Satellogic BVI, to adopt each of the Registration Statements pursuant to Rule 414(d) under the Securities Act.
Prior Registration Statements
Registration Statement No. 1
On February 14, 2022, Satellogic BVI filed Registration Statement No. 1, which was declared effective by the SEC on May 9, 2022 in connection with the registration of the offer and sale of the following securities:
● |
94,739,154 Class A Ordinary Shares of Satellogic BVI, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Ordinary Shares”) held by the selling securityholders identified therein; |

41,464,693 warrants to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares held by the selling securityholders identified therein; and |
● |
the issuance by Satellogic BVI of an aggregate of 41,464,693 Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. |
Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement No. 1
On October 27, 2023, Satellogic BVI filed with the SEC a post-effective amendment to Registration Statement No. 1, which was declared effective by the SEC on November 1, 2023, which (i) converted Registration Statement No. 1 into a Registration Statement on Form F-3, and (ii) included an updated prospectus relating to:
● |
the offering and sale of, from time to time, by certain selling securityholders identified therein, of up to 72,589,493 Class A Ordinary Shares, and 41,464,693 Warrants, and |
● |
the issuance by Satellogic BVI of an aggregate of 41,464,693 Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. |
Registration Statement No. 2
On June 7, 2024, Satellogic BVI filed with the SEC Registration Statement No. 2, which was declared effective by the SEC on June 20, 2024, in connection with the registration of the resale from time to time by the selling securityholders identified therein of up to an aggregate of 25,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the conversion of $30,000,000 of the floating rate secured convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) issued by Nettar and guaranteed by, amongst others, the Company, on April 12, 2024.
Registration Statement No. 3
On December 10, 2024, Satellogic BVI filed with the SEC Registration Statement No. 3, which was declared effective by the SEC on December 20, 2024, in connection with the registration of:
● |
up to $150,000,000 aggregate amount of Class A Ordinary Shares to be offered and sold from time to time by the Company, and |
● |
(ii) the resale by the selling securityholder identified therein of up to an aggregate of 3,571,429 Class A Ordinary Shares. |
In February 2025, pursuant to Registration Statement No. 3 and a prospectus supplement filed with the SEC, we commenced a registered “at the market” offering for up to $50,000,000 aggregate amount of Class Ordinary Shares from time to time (the “ATM Program”). As of the date hereof, we have sold $1,178,592 aggregate amount of Class A Ordinary Shares under the ATM Program, leaving an aggregate of $48,821,408 remaining under the ATM Program and $148,821,408 remaining under the total $150,000,000 aggregate amount.
The Domestication
On March 26, 2025, Satellogic BVI changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from the British Virgin Islands to the State of Delaware, as described further below (the “Domestication”). For purposes of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 and the Registration Statements, the terms the “Company,” “Satellogic,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Satellogic BVI as it previously existed under British Virgin Islands law and Satellogic Delaware as it continues to exist under Delaware law.
On March 26, 2025, the Company discontinued its existence as a business company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, and, pursuant to Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), continued its existence under the DGCL as a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware. Upon the effectiveness of the Domestication, (i) all Class A Ordinary Shares of Satellogic BVI automatically became by operation of law shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Satellogic Delaware (“Class A Common Stock”), (ii) all Class B Ordinary Shares of Satellogic BVI automatically became by operation of law shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Satellogic Delaware (“Class B Common Stock”), and (iii) all warrants of Satellogic BVI automatically became by operation of law warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock of Satellogic Delaware (“Warrants”). The Company’s Class A Common Stock and Warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock continue to be listed for trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbols “SATL” and “SATLW.”
Purpose of This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1
As noted above, this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement No. 3, is being filed by the Company to combine the prospectuses including securities remaining unsold under the Registration Statements pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities Act, to convert each of the Registration Statements from a Form F-3 to a Form S-3 and for Satellogic Delaware, as successor issuer to Satellogic BVI, to adopt each of the Registration Statements pursuant to Rule 414(d) under the Securities Act. This Post-Effective Amendment also removes from the applicable Registration Statement the following securities which are no longer required to be registered:
● |
from Registration Statement No. 1, 18,431,360 warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock, which were registered for offer and sale by certain selling securityholders named therein; |
● |
from Registration Statement No. 1, 2,592,645 shares of Class A Common Stock, which were registered for offer and sale by certain selling securityholders named therein; and |
● |
from Registration Statement No. 3, 3,571,429 shares of Class A Common Stock, which were registered for offer and sale by a certain selling securityholder named therein. |
No additional securities are registered pursuant to this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2.
As of each of the effective dates of the Registration Statement, the Company was a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the Securities Act. However, as a result of the Domestication, the Company no longer qualifies as a foreign private issuer, and as a result, is now subject to the registration requirements applicable to United States domestic registrants. As a result, this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is also being filed to convert the Registration Statement into a Registration Statement on Form S-3, and pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities Act, to provide a combined and updated prospectus relating to the securities being registered under the Registration Statement. All filing fees payable in connection with the registration of the Company’s securities under the Registration Statement were paid by the Company at the time of the initial filing of each Registration Statement.
In accordance with Rule 414(d) under the Securities Act, the Company, as the successor issuer to the Satellogic BVI, hereby expressly adopts the Registration Statement as modified by this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 as its own registration statement for all purposes of the Securities Act.
The information in this preliminary prospectus is not complete and may be changed. The Selling Securityholders may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This preliminary prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and we are not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.

This prospectus also relates the offer and sale from time to time by the selling securityholders named in this prospectus (the “Selling Securityholders”), or their permitted transferees, of up to (a) 94,996,848 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company, which consists of (i) an aggregate of 10,488,738 shares of Class A Common Stock issued to the Sponsor (see “Frequently Used Terms” below for certain defined terms used in this prospectus), (ii) 814,071 shares of Class A Common Stock issued to an affiliate of Sponsor in satisfaction of debt owed to them at an effective price of $8.00 per share, (iii) 2,078,064 shares of Class A Common Stock issued to an affiliate of the Sponsor in lieu of advisory fees owed to them at an effective price of $8.00 per share, (iv) 13,582,640 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable to Emiliano Kargieman, Nettar’s founder and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, upon conversion of our Class B Common Stock for no additional consideration, (v) 20,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issued to the Liberty Investor pursuant to the Liberty Subscription Agreement at a price of $7.50 per share, (vi) an aggregate of 23,033,333 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants held by affiliates of the Company, and (vii) an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Notes, and (b) 23,033,333 Warrants (which includes the $8.63 Warrants, the $10.00 Liberty Warrants, and the $15.00 Liberty Warrants). Except as described in this prospectus under “Information Related to Offered Securities,” no separate consideration was paid for any of the warrants registered hereby. Additional details regarding the securities being registered, and the Selling Securityholders is set forth in this prospectus under “Information Related to Offered Securities.”
We will receive up to an aggregate of approximately $327.2 million if all of the Warrants registered hereby are exercised and exercised for cash. The closing price of our Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq on March 21, 2025 was $3.79, which is $4.84, $6.21, $11.21 and $16.21 below the exercise price of the $8.63 Warrants, the $10.00 Liberty Warrants, the $15.00 Liberty Warrants, and the PIPE Warrants, respectively, and $1.27 above the exercise price of the Columbia Warrants. If the market price for our Class A Common Stock does not increase from current levels, with the exception of the Columbia Warrants, there is a small likelihood that any of the Warrants will be exercised. We expect to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants, if any, for general corporate purposes. We expect to use the net proceeds from the sale of the $150,000,000 aggregate amount of shares of Class A Common Stock for general corporate purposes. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of securities to be offered by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus. However, we will pay the expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the Selling Securityholders for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the Selling Securityholders in disposing of any securities pursuant to this prospectus.
Our registration of the Class A Common Stock and Warrants covered by this prospectus does not mean that either we or any Selling Securityholders will issue, offer or sell, as applicable, any of the shares of Class A Common Stock or Warrants. The Selling Securityholders may offer and sell the Class A Common Stock or Warrants covered by this prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices. As described above, the Selling Securityholders purchased the shares of Class A Common Stock covered by this prospectus for prices ranging from no consideration to $8.00, which is at or below the $10.00 price per unit purchased by public investors in the SPAC IPO. The closing price of our Class A Common Stock and our $8.63 Warrants on Nasdaq on March 21, 2025 was $3.79 and $0.53, respectively. None of our other warrants are listed for trading on any securities exchange. Consequently, the Selling Securityholders may realize a positive rate of return on the sale of their Class A Common Stock covered by this prospectus even if the market price per Class A Common Stock is below $10.00 per share, in which case the public stockholders may experience a negative rate of return on their investment. In addition, conversion of the Notes into Class A Common Stock is subject to CFIUS Approval (as defined below). As of the date hereof, CFIUS Approval has not been sought or obtained. See “Prospectus Summary—Recent Developments—Secured Convertible Notes.”
With respect to the Company’s offering of $150,000,000 aggregate amount of our Class A Common Stock, this prospectus describes the general terms of these securities and the general manner in which these securities will be offered. We will provide the specific terms of these securities in supplements to this prospectus. The prospectus supplements will also describe the manner in which these securities will be offered and may also add to, update or change information contained in this prospectus. You should carefully read this prospectus and any applicable accompanying prospectus supplement, together with the information incorporated by reference and any related free writing prospectus, before you invest in the securities. We may offer and sell the securities separately or together in any combination for sale directly to investors or through underwriters, dealers or agents. If any underwriters, dealers or agents are involved in the sale of these securities we will set forth their names and describe their compensation in the applicable prospectus supplement. The Selling Securityholder may offer and sell the securities covered by this prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices.
In February 2025, pursuant to Registration Statement No. 3 and a prospectus supplement filed with the SEC, we commenced a registered “at the market” offering for up to $50,000,000 aggregate amount of Class A Common Stock (the “ATM Program”). As of the date hereof, we have sold $1,178,592 aggregate amount of Class A Common Stock under the ATM Program, leaving an aggregate of $48,821,408 remaining under the ATM Program and $148,821,408 remaining under the total $150,000,000 aggregate amount.
For more detail regarding the securities offered pursuant to this registration statement, please see “Information Related to Offered Securities,” “Selling Securityholders” and “Plan of Distribution.”
Investing in our securities involves risks that are described in the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 6 of this prospectus.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the securities to be issued under this prospectus or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Before making your investment decision with respect to our securities, you should carefully read this entire prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, together with the information incorporated by reference herein or therein. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in the Company’s securities. Before making an investment decision, you should read this entire prospectus carefully, especially “Risk Factors” and the financial statements and related notes thereto, and the other documents to which this prospectus refers. Some of the statements in this prospectus constitute forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward- Looking Statements ‘‘for more information. Unless the context otherwise requires, in this prospectus, the terms “the Company,” “Satellogic,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Satellogic Inc. as it existed under BVI law prior to the Domestication and as it continues to exist under Delaware law following the Domestication, and the terms “Satellogic BVI” and “Satellogic Delaware” refer to the Company prior to and immediately following the Domestication, respectively.
Our Company
We were founded in 2010 to help solve some of the greatest challenges of our time: resource utilization and distribution. From tradeoffs between food, energy and water supplies, to monitoring the impact of natural disasters, global health and humanitarian crises in the midst of a looming climate emergency, access to a continually refreshed source of global, high-quality data is critical to confronting some of the world’s most crucial issues. We are committed to creating a fully automated and searchable EO catalog, and we believe we are uniquely positioned to provide the data that is critical to better inform decision-making aimed at addressing these challenges.
We are the first vertically integrated geospatial company, and we are building the first scalable, fully automated EO platform with the ability, when scaled, to remap the entire planet at both high-frequency and high-resolution, providing accessible and affordable solutions for our customers. We plan to democratize access to geospatial data by providing planetary insights at what we believe to be the lowest cost in the industry, ultimately driving better decision-making across a broad range of industries including agriculture, forestry, energy, financial services, and cartography.
We have created a highly scalable, vertically integrated and competitive operating model. We design the core components that go into developing and manufacturing our satellites to be mission specific. We manufacture many of our components, but we also partner with third parties to manufacture certain other components to our design specifications. We assemble, integrate and test the components and satellites in our facilities. This vertical integration provides a significant cost advantage, enabling us to produce and launch satellites for less than one-tenth the cost of our competitors on average. Additionally, we own all of our key intellectual property, and our patented technology allows us to capture approximately 10x more imagery than our competitors on average. Taken together, we are achieving over 60x better unit economics than our closest peers in the NewSpace sector and more than 100x better unit economics than legacy competitors. Additionally, we believe we are well-positioned to compete effectively in the existing EO market that is currently supply-constrained and consists primarily of government and defense and intelligence customers. At December 31, 2024, we had 23 commercial satellites in orbit. As of the date of this prospectus, we have 22 satellites in orbit, of which 20 are operational and two are being used for testing. Over the near term, we will take a measured approach to expanding our constellation, with our long-term vision to reach a constellation size of approximately 200 satellites and to have the capability to conduct daily remaps of the entire planet.
Our strategy is focused along three distinct business lines: Asset Monitoring, CaaS, and Space Systems. These business lines will allow us to serve the existing EO market and begin to democratize access to a host of new EO customers.
Recent Developments
Domestication
On March 26, 2025, we filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of corporate domestication and a certificate of incorporation of a Delaware corporation with the name “Satellogic Inc.,” as well as filed with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs in the BVI a notice of the Company’s continuance out of the BVI, pursuant to which we domesticated and are continuing as a Delaware corporation. On the effective date of the Domestication, each of our Class A Ordinary Shares, Class B Ordinary Shares and warrants to purchase our Class A Ordinary Shares automatically converted by operation of law, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock, respectively.
Secured Convertible Notes
On April 12, 2024, the Company, Nettar, and Acquiom Agency Services LLC, as Holder Representative, entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Tether Investments Limited (the “Notes Purchaser”), pursuant to which Nettar agreed to issue the Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $30 million to the Notes Purchaser. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes, after deducting transaction fees and other debt issuance costs, was approximately $27.6 million. The Notes initially bear interest at a rate of SOFR plus 6.50% per annum, subject to an additional 4.0% per annum if certain events of default occur and are continuing. The Notes are guaranteed by the Company and each of the Company’s material subsidiaries (other than Nettar), and are secured by substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets (including all of its intellectual property). Nettar may issue additional Notes under the terms thereof, provided the aggregate principal outstanding amount does not exceed $50 million. The Notes mature on April 12, 2028.
The Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $1.20 (or 833 shares of Class A Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes), subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The Company’s ability to settle conversions using the Company’s Class A Common Stock is subject to CFIUS approval. As of the date hereof, CFIUS approval has not been sought or obtained.
Implications of Being an “Emerging Growth Company”
The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As an “emerging growth company,” the Company may take advantage of certain exemptions from specified disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. These exemptions include:
● |
not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements for the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting provided by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”); |
● |
reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation; and |
● |
not being required to hold a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation or seek stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. |
The Company may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until it is no longer an “emerging growth company.”
Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company
We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as our voting and non-voting Common Stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our voting and non-voting Common Stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.
Corporate Information
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on June 29, 2021 for the sole purpose of effectuating the Business Combination. On March 26, 2026, pursuant to the Domestication, the Company changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from the British Virgin Islands to Delaware. Our principal executive officers are located at 210 Delburg Street, Davidson, NC 28036. Our telephone number is (704) 894-448. The Company’s principal website address is www.satellogic.com.

The Company currently expects to retain all future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of its business and does not plan to pay any dividends on its Common Stock in the near future.

RISK FACTORS
Investment in any securities offered pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement involves risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors incorporated by reference to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, under the caption “Risk Factors,” in any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, under the caption “Risk Factors,” or in our Current Reports on Form 8-K, and all other information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act, and the risk factors and other information contained in any applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus before acquiring any of such securities. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in such filings, alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may cause you to lose all or a part of your investment in the offered securities. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. See “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation by Reference” elsewhere in this prospectus.
The market price of our Class A Common Stock has been extremely volatile and may continue to be volatile due to numerous circumstances beyond our control.
Fluctuations in the price of our Class A Common Stock could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. The trading price of our Class A Common Stock has been, and may continue to be, volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in our Class A Common Stock, and shares of our Class A Common Stock may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. In such circumstances, the trading price of our Class A Common Stock may not recover and may experience a further decline.
Factors affecting the trading price of our Class A Common Stock may include:
● |
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our financial results or the financial results of companies perceived to be similar to it; |
● |
changes in the market’s expectations about our operating results; |
● |
comments by securities analysts or other third parties, including blogs, articles, message boards and social and other media; |
● |
“short squeezes”; |
● |
success of competitors; |
● |
our operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period; |
● |
changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning us or the industries in which we operate; |
● |
operating and share price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us; |
● |
our ability to market new and enhanced products and technologies on a timely basis; |
● |
changes in laws and regulations affecting our business; |
● |
our ability to meet compliance requirements; |
● |
commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving us; |
● |
changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt; |
● |
the volume of Class A Common Stock available for public sale; |
● |
any major change to our Board or management; |
● |
sales of substantial amounts of Class A Common Stock by our directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur; and |
● |
general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism. |
Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our securities irrespective of our operating performance. The stock market in general, and Nasdaq in particular, have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of our Class A Common Stock, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for our Class A Common Stock and the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to us could depress our share price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of our Class A Common Stock also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.
Content available in public media that is published by third parties, including blogs, posts, articles, message boards and social and other media, may include statements not attributable to us and may not be reliable or accurate.
We have received, and may continue to receive, media coverage that is published or otherwise disseminated by third parties, including blogs, posts, articles, message boards and social and other media. This includes coverage that is not attributable to statements made by our officers or associates. You should read carefully, evaluate and rely only on the information contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or any applicable free writing prospectus filed with the SEC in determining whether to purchase shares of our Class A Common Stock. Information or other media provided by third parties may not be reliable or accurate and could materially impact the trading price of our Class A Common Stock which could cause stockholders to lose their investments.
Substantial future sales of shares of our Class A Common Stock or other securities could cause the market price of our Class A Common Stock to decline.
The sales of a substantial number of shares of our Class A Common Stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the price for our Class A Common Stock. In addition to the other shares of Class A Common Stock offered hereby, this registration statement covers the resale of up to 25,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Notes, all of which remain unsold. The issuance or resale, or expected or potential issuance or resale, of a substantial number of shares of our Class A Common Stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price for our Class A Common Stock, result in dilution and make it more difficult for you to sell your Class A Common Stock at times and prices that you feel are appropriate.
In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by making offerings of debt, including additional Notes, or additional offerings of equity securities. In connection with the issuance of the Notes, we entered into a side letter which provides the purchaser with pre-emptive rights, in order to maintain its as-converted ownership percentage on the same basis as new capital raised. Accordingly, for so long as the purchaser holds Notes, it will be entitled to acquire, upon the same terms and at the same price to be paid by other holders, its pro rata portion of any Class A Common Stock (or securities convertible into Class A Common Stock), other than issuances under the Company’s incentive compensation plans, issued by us.
Additionally, any convertible or exchangeable securities that we issue in the future may have rights, preferences, and privileges more favorable than those of our Class A Common Stock and may result in dilution of owners of our Class A Common Stock. We and, indirectly, our stockholders, will bear the cost of issuing and servicing such securities. Upon liquidation, holders of our debt securities and preferred stock (if any), and lenders with respect to other borrowings, will receive a distribution of our available assets prior to the holders of our Class A Common Stock. Additional equity offerings may dilute the holdings of our existing stockholders or reduce the market price of our Class A Common Stock, or both. Any preferred stock we issue in the future could have a preference on liquidating distributions or a preference on dividend payments that could limit our ability to make a dividend distribution to the holders of our Class A Common Stock. Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, or nature of our future offerings. Thus, holders of our Class A Common Stock bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the market price of our Class A Common Stock and diluting their ownership interest in us.
Risks for any holders of the Public Warrants.
Satellogic may redeem your Public Warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby significantly impairing the value of such warrants. Satellogic will have the ability to redeem outstanding Public Warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the closing price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $13.50 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 Trading Days within a 30 Trading Day period ending on the third Trading Day prior to the date on which a notice of redemption is sent to the warrant holders. Satellogic will not redeem the warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A Common Stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by Satellogic, if Satellogic has elected to require the exercise of Public Warrants on a cashless basis, Satellogic will not redeem the warrants as described above if the issuance of Class A Common Stock upon exercise of Public Warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws or Satellogic is unable to effect such registration or qualification. Redemption of the outstanding Public Warrants could force you (i) to exercise your Public Warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so, (ii) to sell your Public Warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your Public Warrants, or (iii) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding Public Warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of your Public Warrants. The closing price for the Class A Common Stock as of March 21, 2025 was $3.79 and has never exceeded the $13.50 threshold that would trigger the right to redeem the Public Warrants.
Because there are no current plans to pay cash dividends on shares of Common Stock for the foreseeable future, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your shares of Common Stock at a price greater than what you paid for them.
The Company currently expects to retain all future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of its business and does not plan to pay any dividends on its Common Stock in the near future. The declaration and payment of any dividends in the future will be determined by the Board in its discretion, and will depend on a number of factors, including our earnings, capital requirements, overall financial condition, applicable law and contractual restrictions. As a result, you may not receive any return on an investment in the shares of Common Stock unless you sell such shares for a price greater than that which you paid for it.
Certain existing securityholders purchased, or may purchase, securities in the Company at a price below the current trading price of such securities and may experience a positive rate of return based on the current trading price. Future investors in the Company may not experience a similar rate of return.
Certain stockholders in the Company, including certain of the selling securityholders, acquired, or may acquire, shares of our Class A Common Stock or Warrants at prices below the current trading price of our Class A Common Stock or Warrants, as applicable, and may experience a positive rate of return based on the current trading price. Public stockholders may not be able to experience the same positive rates of return on securities they purchase due to the low price at which, for example, the Sponsor and the Liberty Investor purchased shares of our Class A Common Stock and Warrants.
Delaware law and our governing documents contain certain provisions, including anti-takeover provisions, that limit the ability of stockholders to take certain actions and could delay or discourage takeover attempts that stockholders may consider favorable.
Our Company Governing Documents and the DGCL contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by the Board and therefore depress the trading price of Class A Common Stock. These provisions could also make it difficult for stockholders to take certain actions, including electing directors who are not nominated by the current members of the Board or taking other corporate actions, including effecting changes in the management of the Company. Among other things, our Company Governing Docuements include provisions regarding:
● |
the ability of our Board to issue shares of preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer; |
● |
the exclusive right of our Board to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of our Board or the resignation, death or removal of a director, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our Board; |
● |
a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent (unless unanimous), which may force stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders; |
● |
the requirement that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by or at the direction of the Board, acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by the affirmative vote the majority of the total number of directors then in office, or by the chairperson of the Board (who is required to call such meeting whenever requested in writing by stockholders representing at least 30% of the voting power of the outstanding voting stock), which could delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors; |
● |
the ability of our Board, by majority vote, to amend our bylaws, which may allow our Board to take additional actions to prevent an unsolicited takeover and inhibit the ability of an acquirer to amend our bylaws to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt; |
● |
advance notice procedures with which stockholders must comply to nominate candidates to our Board or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us; and |
● |
while we have opted out of Section 203 of the DGCL, our Delaware certificate of incorporation includes a prohibition on engaging in any business combination (as defined in our Delaware certificate of incorporation) with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years subsequent to the time that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless (1) prior to such time, the Board approves the business combination or the transaction in which the stockholder became an interested stockholder, (2) upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owns at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock (with certain exclusions), or (3) at or after the person becomes an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by the Board and authorized by a vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder (our Delaware certificate of incorporation provides that the Liberty Investor, Cantor Fitzgerald L.P. and Emiliano Kargieman and any of their respective affiliates and associates will not constitute “interested stockholders” for purposes of these provisions). |
These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in the Board or management.
Any provision of our Company Governing Documents or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control could limit the opportunity for stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of Class A Common Stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for shares of Class A Common Stock.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Unless we state otherwise in an applicable prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered by us under this prospectus for general corporate purposes. General corporate purposes may include additions to working capital, financing of capital expenditures, repayment or redemption of existing indebtedness, repurchases of stock and future acquisitions and strategic investment opportunities. Unless we state otherwise in an applicable prospectus supplement, pending the application of net proceeds, we expect to invest the net proceeds in short- and intermediate-term, interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government.
We will receive up to an aggregate of approximately $327.2 million if all of the Warrants registered hereby are exercised to the extent such Warrants are exercised for cash. However, we will only receive such proceeds if and when the Warrant holders exercise the Warrants. The closing price of our Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq on March 21, 2025 was $3.79, which is $4.84, $6.21, $11.21 and $16.21 below the exercise price of the $8.63 Warrants, $10.00 Liberty Warrants, the $15.00 Liberty Warrants, and the PIPE Warrants, respectively, and $1.27 above the exercise price of the Columbia Warrants. If the market price for our Class A Common Stock does not increase from current levels, with the exception of the Columbia Warrants, there is a small likelihood that any of the Warrants will be exercised. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of securities to be offered by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus. However, we will pay the expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the Selling Securityholders for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the Selling Securityholders in disposing of any securities pursuant to this prospectus.
DIVIDEND POLICY
The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends and has no plan to declare or pay any dividends on its Class A Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The Company currently intends to retain any earnings for future operations and expansion of its business. The declaration and payment of any dividends in the future will be determined by the Board in its discretion, and will depend on a number of factors, including our earnings, capital requirements, overall financing condition, applicable law and contractual restrictions.
SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS
This prospectus relates in part to the offer and sale from time to time by the Selling Securityholders, or their permitted transferees, of up to (a) 94,996,848 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company, which consists of (i) an aggregate of 10,488,738 shares of Class A Common Stock issued to the Sponsor (1) upon the closing of the Business Combination in a private placement offering at an effective price of $8.00 per share, (2) pursuant to the Forward Purchase Contract at an effective price of $6.67 per share, (3) in exchange for the Sponsor’s CF V Class B Common Stock acquired in connection with the formation of CF V at a price of $0.003 per share, or (4) in exchange for the Sponsor’s CF V Class A Common Stock acquired in connection with the CF V Private Placement at a price of $10.00 per share, (ii) 814,071 shares of Class A Common Stock issued to an affiliate of Sponsor in satisfaction of debt owed to them at an effective price of $8.00 per share, (iii) 2,078,064 shares of Class A Common Stock issued to an affiliate of the Sponsor in lieu of advisory fees owed to them at an effective price of $8.00 per share, (iv) 13,582,642 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable to Emiliano Kargieman, Nettar’s founder and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, upon conversion of our Class B Common Stock for no additional consideration, (v) 20,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issued to the Liberty Investor pursuant to the Liberty Subscription Agreement at a price of $7.50 per share, (vi) an aggregate of 23,033,333 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants held by affiliates of the Company, and (vii) an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Notes, and (b) 23,033,333 Warrants, which includes (i) 533,333 $8.63 Warrants, (ii) 7,500,000 $10.00 Liberty Warrants, and (iii) 15,000,000 $15.00 Liberty Warrants. The Business Combination is described in greater detail in this prospectus. The Selling Securityholders may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the Class A Common Stock set forth below pursuant to this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement. When we refer to the “Selling Securityholders” in this prospectus, we mean the persons listed in the table below, and the pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees, successors, designees and others who later come to hold any of the Selling Securityholders’ interest in the Class A Common Stock other than through a public sale.
The following table sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus, the names of the Selling Securityholders, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned, and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Selling Securityholders may offer pursuant to this prospectus. We have based percentage ownership on 83,474,479 shares of Class A Common Stock and 13,582,642 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding as of March 14, 2025.
We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, the persons and entities named in the tables have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all securities that they beneficially own, subject to community property laws where applicable.
We cannot advise you as to whether the Selling Securityholders will in fact sell any or all of such Class A Common Stock. As such, we are unable to declare the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that the Selling Securityholders will retain after any such sale. In addition, the Selling Securityholders may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, the Class A Common Stock in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date of this prospectus.
Selling Securityholder information for each additional Selling Securityholder, if any, will be set forth by prospectus supplement to the extent required prior to the time of any offer or sale of such Selling Securityholder’s shares pursuant to this prospectus. Any prospectus supplement may add, update, substitute, or change the information contained in this prospectus, including the identity of each Selling Securityholder and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock registered on its behalf A Selling Securityholder may sell or otherwise transfer all, some or none of such shares included in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following is a discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. holders and non-U.S. holders (each as defined below) relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Class A Common Stock and Warrants. This discussion addresses only those holders that hold their Class A Common Stock and Warrants as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment).
This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a holder’s particular circumstances, including the impact of the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income. In addition, it does not address consequences relevant to holders subject to special rules, including, without limitation:
• |
U.S. expatriates and former citizens or long-term residents of the United States; |
• |
persons subject to the alternative minimum tax; |
• |
persons holding Class A Common Stock or Warrants as part of a hedge, straddle or other risk reduction strategy or as part of a conversion transaction or other integrated transaction; |
• |
banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions; |
• |
brokers, dealers or traders in securities; |
• |
“controlled foreign corporations,” “passive foreign investment companies” and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax; |
• |
tax-exempt organizations or governmental organizations; |
• |
persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to Class A Common Stock or Warrants being taken into account in an applicable financial statement; |
• |
U.S. holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar; |
• |
holders actually, or through attribution, owning 5% or more (by vote or value) of the Class A Common Stock; |
• |
regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts; |
• |
partnerships, S corporations or other pass-through entities or their partners, stockholders or other beneficial owners; |
• |
qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts or other tax-deferred accounts; and |
• |
“qualified foreign pension funds,” as defined in Section 897(1)(2) of the Code, and entities all of the interests of which are held by qualified foreign pension funds. |
If an entity or arrangement is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the tax treatment of the persons treated as partners will generally depend on the status of the partners, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, partnerships (or other entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and the persons treated as partners in such partnerships (or such other entities or arrangements) should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them relating to the matters discussed below.
For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of shares of Class A Common Stock and/or Warrants that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
• |
an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, |
• |
a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, |
• |
an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, or |
• |
an entity treated as a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and the control of one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) or (2) was in existence on August 20, 1996 and has a valid election in effect to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes. |
Also, for purposes of this discussion, a “non-U.S. holder” is any beneficial owner of Class A Common Stock and/or Warrants who or that is neither a U.S. holder nor an entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Code, the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof. Those authorities may be repealed, revoked, modified or subject to differing interpretations, possibly on a retroactive basis, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. Furthermore, this discussion does not address any aspect of U.S. federal non-income tax laws (such as estate or gift tax laws) or any state, local or non-U.S. tax laws.
THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY.
U.S. Holders
Dividends and Other Distributions on Class A Common Stock
As described in “—Dividend Policy” above, we have no plan to declare or pay any dividends on our Class A Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Distributions (including, for the avoidance of doubt and for the purpose of the balance of this discussion, deemed distributions) on Class A Common Stock will generally be taxable as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Class A Common Stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Class A Common Stock and will be treated as described below under the heading “—Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock and Warrants.”
Dividends paid to a U.S. holder that is treated as a taxable corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends paid to a non-corporate U.S. holder may constitute “qualified dividend income” that will be subject to tax at reduced rates accorded to long-term capital gains.
Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock and Warrants
Upon any sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Class A Common Stock or Warrants, a U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of (x) the amount of cash and (y) the fair market value of any other property received in such sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and (ii) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Class A Common Stock or Warrants. Any gain or loss recognized on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Class A Common Stock or Warrants generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for such Class A Common Stock or Warrants exceeds one year. Long-term capital gain realized by a non-corporate U.S. holder generally will be taxable at a reduced rate. The deduction of capital losses is subject to limitations.
Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of Warrants
Except as discussed below with respect to the cashless exercise of a Warrant, a U.S. holder generally will not recognize taxable gain or loss on the exercise of a Warrant. The U.S. holder’s tax basis in the Class A Common Stock received upon exercise of a Warrant generally will be an amount equal to the sum of the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Warrant and the exercise price of such Warrant. It is unclear whether the U.S. holder’s holding period for the Class A Common Stock received upon exercise of the Warrants will begin on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the Warrants; in either case, the holding period will not include the period during which the U.S. holder held the Warrants. If a Warrant is allowed to lapse unexercised, a U.S. holder generally will recognize a capital loss equal to such U.S. holder’s tax basis in the Warrant.
The tax consequences of a cashless exercise of a Warrant are not clear under current tax law. A cashless exercise may be tax-free, either because the exercise is not a realization event or because the exercise is treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In either tax-free situation, a U.S. holder’s basis in the Class A Common Stock received would equal the holder’s basis in the Warrants. If the cashless exercise were treated as not being a realization event, it is unclear whether a U.S. holder’s holding period in the Class A Common Stock will commence on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the Warrant. If the cashless exercise were treated as a recapitalization, the holding period of the Class A Common Stock would include the holding period of the Warrants.
It is also possible that a cashless exercise could be treated in part as a taxable exchange in which gain or loss would be recognized. In such event, a U.S. holder could be deemed to have surrendered a number of Warrants having an aggregate fair market value equal to the exercise price for the total number of Warrants to be exercised, and the U.S. holder would recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Warrants deemed surrendered and the U.S. holder’s tax basis in such Warrants. In that case, a U.S. holder’s tax basis in the Class A Common Stock received would equal the sum of the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the Warrants exercised and the exercise price of such Warrants. It is unclear whether a U.S. holder’s holding period for the Class A Common Stock would commence on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the Warrants; in either case, the holding period would not include the period during which the U.S. holder held the Warrants. There may also be alternative characterizations of any such taxable exchange that would result in similar tax consequences, except that a U.S. holder’s gain or loss would be short-term.
Due to the absence of authority on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise, including when a U.S. holder’s holding period would commence with respect to the Class A Common Stock received, there can be no assurance which, if any, of the alternative tax consequences and holding periods described above would be adopted by the IRS or a court of law. Accordingly, U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise.
If the Company redeems Warrants for cash or if the Company purchases Warrants in an open market transaction, such redemption or purchase generally will be treated as a taxable disposition to the U.S. holder, taxed as described above under “—Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock and Warrants.”
Possible Constructive Distributions
The terms of each Warrant provide for an adjustment to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock for which the Warrant may be exercised or to the exercise price of the Warrant in certain events, as discussed in this prospectus. An adjustment that has the effect of preventing dilution generally is not a taxable event. Nevertheless, a U.S. holder of the Warrants would be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from the Company if, for example, the adjustment increases the Warrant holders’ proportionate interest in the Company’s assets or earnings and profits (e.g., through an increase in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that would be obtained upon exercise) as a result of a distribution of cash to the holders of Class A Common Stock which is taxable to such holders as described under “—Dividends and Other Distributions on Class A Common Stock” above. Such constructive distribution would be subject to tax as described under that section in the same manner as if the U.S. holders of the Warrants received a cash distribution from the Company equal to the fair market value of such increased interest.
Information Reporting, Backup Withholding and Additional Reporting Requirements
Distributions with respect to Class A Common Stock and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of Class A Common Stock or Warrants may be subject to information reporting filed with the IRS unless the U.S. holder is an exempt recipient. Backup withholding may apply to such payments if the U.S. holder fails to provide a taxpayer identification number, a certification of exempt status or has been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding (and such notification has not been withdrawn). Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. holder’s federal income tax liability provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
Non-U.S. Holders
Dividends and Other Distributions on Class A Common Stock
In general, a non-U.S. holder that receives any distributions on Class A Common Stock that constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes (determined in the manner described above under “—U.S. Holders—Dividends and Other Distributions on Class A Common Stock”) will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a 30% rate, unless the dividends are effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States or the non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E). In the case of any constructive dividend, it is possible that this tax would be withheld from any amount owed to a non-U.S. holder by the applicable withholding agent, including cash distributions on other property or sale proceeds from Warrants or other property subsequently paid or credited to such non-U.S. holder. Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Class A Common Stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of Class A Common Stock, which will be treated as described below under the section entitled “— Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock or Warrants”. In addition, if Satellogic determines that it is likely to be classified as a “United States real property holding corporation” (see the section entitled “— Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock or Warrants” below), the applicable withholding agent may withhold fifteen (15%) of any distribution that exceeds Satellogic’s current and accumulated earnings and profits.
The withholding tax described above generally does not apply to dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder who provides an IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Instead, the effectively connected dividends will be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax as if the non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise. A non-U.S. holder that is treated as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes receiving effectively connected dividends may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” imposed at a rate of thirty percent (30%) (or a lower applicable treaty rate).
Sale, Taxable Exchange or other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock and Warrants
Subject to the discussion below concerning backup withholding, non-U.S. holders generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or withholding tax on any gain realized upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of Class A Common Stock or Warrants, unless:
• |
the gain is effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the non- U.S. holder maintains a permanent establishment or fixed place of business in the United States to which such gain is attributable); |
• |
the non-U.S. holder is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the disposition and certain other requirements are met; or |
• |
Satellogic is or has been a “United States real property holding corporation” (a “USRPHC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the non-U.S. holder’s holding period for the Class A Common Stock or Warrants being disposed of. |
We believe that we are not currently and will not become a USRPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the remainder of this discussion assumes that we are not, and will not become, a USRPHC. However, there can be no assurance that we will not become a USRPHC in the future. Even if we become a USRPHC, as long as Class A Common Stock is “regularly traded” on an established securities market, a non-US holder that has not owned (directly, indirectly or under applicable constructive ownership rules) more than 5% of the Class A Common Stock at any time during the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition of, or its holding period for, the Class A Common Stock generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or withholding tax on the disposition. However, no assurance can be provided that Class A Common Stock will be considered to be regularly traded on an established securities market for purposes of the rules described above. Special rules may apply to non-U.S. holders of Warrants. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential U.S. federal income tax consequences to them if we were to become a USRPHC.
Gain described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates. A non-U.S. holder that is a corporation may also be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected gain, as adjusted for certain items.
Gain described in the second bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty), which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses of the non-U.S. holder (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States) provided that the non-U.S. holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses. In addition, earnings and profits of a corporate non-U.S. holder that are attributable to such gain, as determined after allowance for certain adjustments, may be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a rate of 30%, or at a lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.
Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of Warrants
The U.S. federal income tax treatment of a non-U.S. holder’s exercise of a Warrant, the lapse of a Warrant held by a non-U.S. holder, or the Company’s redemption of Warrants for cash generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the exercise or lapse of a Warrant by a U.S. holder, as described under “U.S. Holders—Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of Warrants,” above, although to the extent a redemption or cashless exercise is treated as a sale or other taxable exchange, the consequences would be similar to those described under the heading “—Sale, Exchange, or other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock and Warrants” for a non-U.S. holder’s gain on the sale or other disposition of Warrants.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Distributions on Class A Common Stock and amounts received with respect to the sale or other disposition of Class A Common Stock or Warrants will not be subject to backup withholding, provided that the applicable withholding agent does not have actual knowledge or reason to know the holder is a United States person and the holder either certifies its non-U.S. status, such as by furnishing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, or otherwise establishes an exemption. However, information returns may be filed with the IRS in connection with any payments of dividends on Class A Common Stock paid to the non-U.S. holder or amounts received with respect to the sale or other disposition of Class A Common Stock or Warrants by the non-U.S. holder, regardless of whether any tax was actually withheld.
Copies of information returns that are filed with the IRS may be made available under the provisions of an applicable treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which the non-U.S. holder resides or is established. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a non-U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
Provisions commonly referred to as “FATCA” impose withholding of thirty percent (30%) on payments of U.S.-source dividends (including constructive dividends) to “foreign financial institutions” (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain other non-U.S. entities unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied by, or an exemption applies to, the payee (typically certified as to by the delivery of a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN-E). Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Thirty percent (30%) withholding under FATCA was scheduled to apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of property that produces U.S.-source interest or dividends beginning on January 1, 2019, but on December 13, 2018, the IRS released proposed Treasury Regulations that, if finalized in their proposed form, would eliminate the obligation to withhold on gross proceeds. Although these proposed Treasury Regulations are not final, taxpayers generally may rely on them until final Treasury Regulations are issued. However, there can be no assurance that final Treasury Regulations will provide the same exceptions from FATCA withholding as the proposed Treasury Regulations. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effects of FATCA on their ownership and disposition of Class A Common Stock or Warrants.
THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX DISCUSSION SET FORTH ABOVE IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND MAY NOT BE APPLICABLE TO YOU DEPENDING UPON YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. YOU ARE URGED TO CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS INCLUDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES UNDER STATE, LOCAL, ESTATE, FOREIGN AND OTHER TAX LAWS AND TAX TREATIES AND THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF CHANGES IN U S. OR OTHER TAX LAWS.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We and the Selling Securityholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling the securities offered hereby:
● |
directly to investors, including through a specific bidding, auction or other process; |
● |
to investors through agents; |
● |
directly to agents; |
● |
to or through brokers or dealers; |
● |
to the public through underwriting syndicates led by one or more managing underwriters; |
● |
to one or more underwriters acting alone for resale to investors or to the public; |
● |
in “at-the-market offerings” to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, or a securities exchange or otherwise; |
● |
through forward or other derivative transactions relating to the securities being registered hereunder; |
● |
through a combination of any such methods of sale; or |
● |
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The Selling Securityholders may sell or distribute the Class A Common Stock offered hereby from time to time in one or more public or private transactions, including:
● |
block trades, including block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate a transaction; |
● |
on any exchange or quotation service or in the over-the-counter market; or |
● |
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers. |
If we or the Selling Securityholder sell securities to a dealer acting as principal, the dealer may resell such securities at varying prices to be determined by such dealer in its discretion at the time of resale without consulting with us and such resale prices may not be disclosed in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Any underwritten offering may be on a best efforts or a firm commitment basis. We may also offer securities through subscription rights distributed to our stockholders on a pro rata basis, which may or may not be transferable. In any distribution of subscription rights to stockholders, if all of the underlying securities are not subscribed for, we may then sell the unsubscribed securities directly to third parties or may engage the services of one or more underwriters, dealers or agents, including standby underwriters, to sell the unsubscribed securities to third parties.
Sales of the securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions:
● |
at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed; |
● |
at market prices prevailing at the time of sale; |
● |
at prices related to prevailing market prices; or |
● |
at negotiated prices. |
Any of the prices may represent a discount from the then prevailing market prices.
In the sale of the securities, underwriters or agents may receive compensation from us in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions and may also receive compensation from purchasers of the securities, for whom they may act as agents, in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. Underwriters may sell the securities to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents.
Discounts, concessions and commissions may be changed from time to time. Dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters under the Securities Act, and any discounts, concessions or commissions they receive from us and any profit on the resale of securities they realize may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under applicable federal and state securities laws.
A prospectus supplement will, where applicable:
● |
describe the terms of the offering; |
● |
identify any such underwriter, dealer or agent; |
● |
describe any compensation in the form of discounts, concessions, commissions or otherwise received from us by each such underwriter or agent and in the aggregate by all underwriters and agents; |
● |
describe the purchase price or the public offering price of the securities; |
● |
identify the amounts underwritten; and |
● |
identify the nature of the underwriter’s or underwriters’ obligation to take the securities. |
Any Class A Common Stock sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement will be listed on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance. It is possible that one or more underwriters may make a market in the securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or the trading market for, any offered securities.
With respect to any at-the-market offering, we and the Selling Securityholders may offer the securities into an existing trading market on the terms described in a prospectus supplement relating thereto. Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in any at-the-market offerings will be described in the prospectus supplement relating thereto.
We and the Selling Securityholders may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If disclosed in an applicable prospectus supplement, in connection with those derivative transactions third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and such prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or from others to settle those short sales or to close out any related open borrowings of securities, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivative transactions to close out any related open borrowings of securities. If the third party is or may be deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act, it will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplements.
Until the distribution of the securities is completed, rules of the SEC may limit the ability of any underwriters and selling group members to bid for and purchase the securities. As an exception to these rules, underwriters are permitted to engage in some transactions that stabilize the price of the securities. Such transactions consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities.
Underwriters may engage in overallotment. If any underwriters create a short position in the securities in an offering in which they sell more securities than are set forth on the cover page of the applicable prospectus supplement, the underwriters may reduce that short position by purchasing the securities in the open market.
The lead underwriters may also impose a penalty bid on other underwriters and selling group members participating in an offering. This means that if the lead underwriters purchase securities in the open market to reduce the underwriters’ short position or to stabilize the price of the securities, they may reclaim the amount of any selling concession from the underwriters and selling group members who sold those securities as part of the offering.
In general, purchases of a security for the purpose of stabilization or to reduce a short position could cause the price of the security to be higher than it might be in the absence of such purchases. The imposition of a penalty bid might also have an effect on the price of a security to the extent that it were to discourage resales of the security before the distribution is completed.
We do not make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above might have on the price of the securities. In addition, we do not make any representation that underwriters will engage in such transactions or that such transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.
Under agreements into which we may enter, underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the securities may be entitled to indemnification by us against our contribution towards certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the applicable securities laws.
Underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us, perform services for us or be our tenants in the ordinary course of business.
If indicated in an applicable prospectus supplement, we and the Selling Securityholder will authorize underwriters or other persons acting as our agents to solicit offers by particular institutions to purchase securities from us at the public offering price set forth in such prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on the date or dates stated in such prospectus supplement. Each delayed delivery contract will be for an amount no less than, and the aggregate amounts of securities sold under delayed delivery contracts shall be not less nor more than, the respective amounts stated in the applicable prospectus supplement. Institutions with which such contracts, when authorized, may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and others, but will in all cases be subject to our approval. The obligations of any purchaser under any such contract will be subject to the conditions that (a) the purchase of the securities shall not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction in the United States to which the purchaser is subject, and (b) if the securities are being sold to underwriters, we shall have sold to the underwriters the total amount of the securities less the amount thereof covered by the contracts. The underwriters and such other agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of such contracts.
To comply with applicable state securities laws, the securities offered by this prospectus will be sold, if necessary, in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, securities may not be sold in some states unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Underwriters, dealers or agents that participate in the offer of securities, or their affiliates or associates, may have engaged or engage in transactions with and perform services for us or our affiliates in the ordinary course of business for which they may have received or receive customary fees and reimbursement of expenses.
The Selling Securityholders may also resell all or a portion of their Class A Common Stock in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of Rule 144.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation, in its certificate of incorporation, to limit or eliminate, subject to certain statutory limitations, the liability of officers and directors to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty, except for liability (a) for any breach of the director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) for directors, under Section 174 of the DGCL, (d) for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit or (e) for officers, in any action by or in the right of the Corporation.
Under Section 145 of the DGCL, a corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation (or a person who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. However, in the case of an action brought by or in the right of a corporation, the corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation (or a person who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) only against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent the appropriate court finds that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court shall deem proper.
The new Satellogic Delaware certificate of incorporation provides that no director or officer of Satellogic Delaware shall be liable to Satellogic Delaware or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director (including with regard to any actions taken or omitted as a director or officer of Satellogic BVI, whether taken or omitted prior to the effectiveness of the Domestication, in connection with the discontinuance of Satellogic BVI in the BVI or the continuance of Satellogic BVI in the State of Delaware or otherwise) except to the extent that such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as currently in effect or as the same may hereafter be amended. This provision in the certificate of incorporation does not eliminate the directors’ and officers’ fiduciary duty, and in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition, each director and officer will be subject to liability (a) for breach of the director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to Satellogic Delaware, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or, knowing violations of law, (c) for directors, under Section 174 of the DGCL, (d) for actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director or officer, and (e) for officers, in any action by or in the right of Satellogic Delaware. The provision also does not affect a director’s or officer’s responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.
The new Satellogic Delaware bylaws also provide that Satellogic Delaware shall indemnify its officers, directors and employees to the fullest extent possible except as prohibited by the DGCL. For purposes of the indemnification described in this paragraph, references to Satellogic Delaware include Satellogic Inc. as incorporated under BVI law prior to the continuance of its existence under Delaware law as Satellogic Delaware. Satellogic Delaware will remain obligated on any indemnification obligations of Satellogic BVI arising prior to the Domestication.

Item 10. Undertakings.
(a) |
The undersigned hereby undertakes: |
(1) |
to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
(i) |
to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
(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) that, 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) of this section 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 part of the registration statement.
(2) |
that for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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; and |
(4) |
that, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser: |
(i) |
if the registrant is relying on Rule 430B: |
(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)(l)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act 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; and |
(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 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: |
(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 the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
(iv) |
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
(b) |
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the 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. |
(c) |
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Davidson, North Carolina on March 26, 2025.
