Company Overview

Our Company was established in 2021, initially composed of three businesses – the Web3 business, the BTC Mining Hardware business and the Corrugated Packaging business, which we acquired from our former parent company, Vinco Ventures, Inc. These businesses had a more extended operating history than ours, and we include information related to their operations before our existence and acquisition in our discussions.

On October 1, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Forever 8 Fund, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company focused on purchasing inventory for e-commerce retailers (“Forever 8”). The Company’s business has since been focused primarily on the Corrugated Packaging business and the inventory cash flow solutions business of Forever 8 (the “Forever 8 business”).

Our Company is currently comprised of two main businesses: the Forever 8 business and our Corrugated Packaging business. Our Forever 8 business is operated through our subsidiary, Forever 8. Under the umbrella of our Web3 Business, we intend to integrate blockchain technology into the existing consumer facing industries starting with the Forever 8 business. Our Corrugated Packaging Business manufactures and sells custom packaging for a wide variety of products and through packaging helps customers generate brand awareness and promote brand image. Our Web3 business began making sales in the first quarter of 2022, though as of the date of this prospectus, we are not anticipating any future BTC hardware sales, and our Packaging Business has been in operation for over 50 years. Additionally, the Company previously sold BTC mining equipment and developed an NFT character set under its Web3 business but has no intention of continuing this business at this time.

On October 13, 2021, Kevin O’Donnell, Frank Jennings, and Louis Foreman were appointed to our board of directors, and Brett Vroman was appointed as chief financial officer. On April 26, 2025, Nicola Caiano was appointed to our board of directors. On September 8, 2025, Daniel Ives was appointed to serve as the Chairman of the Company’s board of directors and Paul Vassilakos resigned as chief executive officer and director of the Company. On September 8, 2025, Kevin O’Donnell was appointed as chief executive officer of the Company.

In connection with the PIPE Offering (as defined below), the Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering to acquire WLD for the Company’s treasury operations. Worldcoin will serve as the Company’s primary treasury reserve asset.

For instructions on how to find copies of these documents, see “Where You Can Find More Information” 2 beginning on page of this prospectus. More information about us is also available through our website at www.8co.holdings/. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this prospectus or any prospectus supplement (except for SEC reports that are expressly incorporated by reference herein).

Our Revenue Sources

Forever 8

On October 1, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Forever 8. Forever 8 provides funding solutions for e-commerce businesses which sell on Amazon, Shopify and other leading online platforms. Forever 8 uses proprietary technology to review product sales data and determine funding potential for online retail entrepreneurs around the world. Forever 8’s process is automated and does not require a personal guarantee, credit check or traditional lending requirements. Forever 8’s unique approach directly purchases inventory on its customers’ behalf, applies a mark-up and collects the revenue as the products are sold. The Company assumes the role of supplier and acts as a principal in these transactions, and therefore recognizes revenue on a gross basis. At the time of entering into an agreement with the customer, Forever 8 takes title and assumes control of the inventory when it is purchased from its customers or directly from suppliers. This includes the responsibility for managing the inventory. Forever 8 has full discretion over the pricing of the inventory sold to its customers, established at the time of signing the agreement. Forever 8 also retains the right to liquidate inventory, exercising pricing discretion, particularly if certain sales thresholds are not met, which could result in selling below cost. Forever 8 is not entitled to incremental fees from vendor customers for unsold inventory but its pricing model includes variable pricing based on aged inventory. The primary source of revenue is from the sale of inventory to its customers at a markup. Under the terms of the agreement, Forever 8 does not have an option to put or sell unsold inventory back to vendor customers.

Corrugated Packaging Business

The Corrugated Packaging Business, through Ferguson Containers, manufactures and sells custom packaging for a wide variety of products. In our experience, packaging has the capability to “tell” the products story, generating increased product awareness, promote brand image, and drive unit growth. Senior management has more than 100 years of combined experience marketing, producing and delivering packaging materials. A hallmark of our operation is our quick production cycle. We can often begin a production run within minutes of receipt of an order. Many of our products are manufactured from 100% post-consumer recycled material. When production is complete, we typically ship the product using our own trucks rather than relying on a common carrier. Ferguson Containers does not have long-term agreements with its customers, and instead manufactures and sells its packaging products subject to purchase orders from its customers.

On November 22, 2024, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) among Ferguson Containers, Ferguson Containers, LLC (the “Buyer”) and Edward Reichard and Derick Reichard (the “Buyer’s Owners” and together with the Buyer, the “Buying Parties”). Pursuant to the APA, we agreed to sell certain assets (the “Purchased Assets”) constituting the business of Ferguson Containers to the Buyer. The purchase price for the Purchased Assets will be (i) an aggregate of $557,835 in cash, (ii) $2,500,000 issued in the form of a seller note and (iii) the right to receive certain earnout consideration upon the achievement of certain milestones.

In December 2024, our shareholders approved the transactions contemplated by the APA and we are in the process of seeking to consummate such transactions.

Under the Strategic Advisor Agreement, the Company issued Strategic Advisor warrants (the “Strategic Advisor Warrants”) to purchase an amount of shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Strategic Advisor Warrants Shares”) equal to five percent of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis, including all outstanding shares and shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to outstanding options, warrants and other convertible securities as of the Closing Date.

Worldcoin and the Worldcoin Ecosystem

Worldcoin is a decentralized, open-source digital identity and cryptocurrency platform designed to establish a universal, privacy-preserving proof of personhood and to serve as a foundational layer for digital trust in the age of artificial intelligence (“Worldcoin”). WLD is the native cryptocurrency of the Worldcoin network and is used to incentivize participation, facilitate transactions, and support the network’s operations. Launched with the mission to create a global network of verified humans, Worldcoin leverages proprietary biometric technology, most notably the Orb, a device that verifies unique human identity through iris scanning, to enable secure, privacy-centric digital identity verification.

Worldcoin is rapidly emerging as a leading platform for digital identity and authentication, aiming to address the growing challenges of distinguishing humans from bots and artificial intelligence agents online. As of 2025, Worldcoin has created nearly 16 million zero-knowledge Proof of Human (PoH) accounts across more than 45 countries, making it one of the largest and most ambitious digital identity projects globally. The Worldcoin ecosystem is supported by a diverse and expanding community of developers, users, and institutional partners, and is increasingly recognized for its potential to underpin next-generation online trust, verification, and economic exchange.

The Worldcoin network is built to be programmable and interoperable, supporting a range of applications that require secure, decentralized identity verification. Its zero-knowledge proof technology ensures that sensitive biometric information is not stored on the blockchain, preserving user privacy while enabling robust authentication. The Orb hardware serves as the backbone of the network, verifying unique humans, distributing WLD tokens, and creating a trusted digital identity system for the AI era.

Worldcoin’s ecosystem is experiencing significant growth, with increasing adoption by individuals, enterprises, and institutions seeking reliable digital identity solutions. The platform is also attracting attention from the broader blockchain and cryptocurrency community, as well as from traditional financial and technology sectors interested in integrating secure, decentralized identity verification into their products and services. Worldcoin’s programmability and focus on privacy and security make it a compelling choice for a wide range of use cases, from online authentication and access control to digital asset issuance and economic participation.

The Worldcoin community is actively pursuing technological advancements to enhance scalability, security, and usability. Ongoing initiatives include the development of more efficient biometric verification methods, improvements to the Orb hardware, and the expansion of the network’s global reach. However, the Worldcoin ecosystem faces a variety of risks, including regulatory uncertainty, technological and operational challenges, competition from other digital identity and authentication platforms, and potential vulnerabilities in its biometric and blockchain infrastructure. The value of WLD and the success of the Worldcoin network depend on continued adoption, technological innovation, and the ability to address these risks effectively.

Key Features and Capabilities of Worldcoin as a Leading Decentralized Identity Platform:

While Worldcoin offers transformative potential for digital identity and online trust, it is subject to a range of risks, including but not limited to: regulatory uncertainty regarding the classification and use of WLD; technological vulnerabilities in biometric verification and smart contract infrastructure; operational challenges in scaling Orb deployment and user onboarding; competition from alternative digital identity solutions and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs); and market volatility affecting the value of WLD. The long-term success of Worldcoin will depend on its ability to maintain user trust, achieve widespread adoption, and adapt to evolving technological and regulatory landscapes.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves risk. Before you decide whether to purchase any of our securities, you should carefully consider the specific risks discussed in, or incorporated by reference into, the applicable prospectus supplement, together with all the other information contained in the prospectus supplement or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement. You should also consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” herein as well as those included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2025, and June 30, 2025 which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

Risks Related to Cryptocurrencies

The further development and acceptance of the Worldcoin (WLD) network, which represents a relatively new and rapidly evolving segment of the cryptocurrency industry, are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing or cessation of the development or acceptance of the Worldcoin network may adversely affect an investment in the Company.

Worldcoin, like other cryptocurrencies, may be used to buy and sell goods and services or to transfer and store value by users. The growth of the Worldcoin ecosystem is subject to a high degree of uncertainty, and factors affecting its development include:

Worldcoin and its ecosystem are subject to an evolving regulatory landscape. The application of state and federal securities laws and other regulations to WLD is unclear in certain respects, and regulators in the United States or foreign countries may interpret or apply existing laws in a manner that adversely affects the price or use of WLD. The U.S. federal government, states, regulatory agencies, and foreign countries may enact new laws or pursue enforcement actions that could materially impact the price of WLD or the ability of individuals or institutions such as us to own or transfer WLD.

If WLD is determined to constitute a security for purposes of federal securities laws, the additional regulatory restrictions imposed by such a determination could adversely affect the market price of WLD and, in turn, adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. Moreover, the risks of engaging in a digital asset treasury strategy may create complications due to the lack of experience that third parties have with companies engaging in such a strategy, such as increased costs of director and officer liability insurance or the potential inability to obtain such coverage on acceptable terms in the future.

The digital asset trading platforms on which WLD trades are relatively new and largely unregulated or may not be complying with existing regulations. These markets are local, national, and international and include a broadening range of cryptocurrencies and participants. Significant trading may occur on systems and platforms with minimum predictability. Spot markets may impose transaction or withdrawal limits or suspend withdrawals entirely, rendering the exchange of WLD for fiat currency difficult or impossible.

Digital asset trading platforms may lack certain safeguards put in place by more traditional exchanges to enhance the stability of trading and prevent flash crashes. As a result, the prices of WLD on digital asset trading platforms may be subject to larger and/or more frequent sudden declines than assets traded on more traditional exchanges. Tools to detect and deter fraudulent or manipulative trading activities may not be available to or employed by digital asset trading platforms or may not exist at all. The closure or temporary shutdown of digital asset trading platforms due to fraud, business failure, hackers or malware, or government-mandated regulation may reduce confidence in WLD and can slow down its mass adoption.

Negative perception, a lack of stability in the digital asset trading platforms, manipulation of trading platforms by customers, and/or the closure or temporary shutdown of such trading platforms may reduce confidence in WLD generally and result in greater volatility in the market price of WLD and the Common Stock. Furthermore, the closure or temporary shutdown of a WLD trading platform may impact the Company’s ability to determine the value of its WLD holdings.

The Worldcoin network relies on the Internet and proprietary hardware (such as the Orb for biometric verification). A significant disruption of Internet connectivity or the failure of the Orb hardware could disrupt the Worldcoin network’s functionality until such disruption is resolved.

Worldcoin, like other cryptocurrencies, is susceptible to various forms of cyberattacks, including denial-of-service attacks, border gateway protocol hijacking, and other security breaches. If such attacks occur, participants may lose faith in the security of WLD, which could affect its value and consequently the value of the Common Stock.

The Worldcoin ecosystem also relies on smart contracts and other blockchain-based technologies, which are subject to technical vulnerabilities, coding errors, security flaws, and exploits. Any vulnerability in a smart contract or the Worldcoin protocol could result in the loss or theft of WLD or other digital assets, which could have a materially adverse impact on our business.

The trading prices of many cryptocurrencies, including WLD, have experienced extreme volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. Extreme volatility in the future, including further declines in the trading price of WLD, could have a material adverse effect on the value of the Common Stock and the Common Stock could lose all or substantially all of their value.

The trading prices of many cryptocurrencies, including WLD, have experienced extreme volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. Extreme volatility in the future, including further declines in the trading price of WLD, could have a material adverse effect on the value of the Common Stock and the Common Stock could lose all or substantially all of its value. Furthermore, negative perception and a lack of stability and standardized regulation in the cryptocurrency economy may reduce confidence in the cryptocurrency economy and may result in greater volatility in the price of WLD and other cryptocurrencies, including a depreciation in value.

Risks Related to Investing in Worldcoin (WLD)

We hold our WLD with regulated custodians that have duties to safeguard our private keys, and use multisignature keys to prevent unauthorized access in accordance with our treasury operations. Our custodial services contracts do not restrict our ability to reallocate our WLD among our custodians, and our WLD holdings may be concentrated with a single custodian from time to time.

If there is a decrease in the availability of digital asset custodians that we believe can safely custody our WLD, for example, due to regulatory developments or enforcement actions that cause custodians to discontinue or limit their services, we may need to enter into agreements that are less favorable than our current agreements or take other measures to custody our WLD, and our ability to seek a greater degree of diversification in the use of custodial services would be materially adversely affected.

WLD is controllable only by the possessor of both the unique public key and private key(s) relating to the local or online digital wallet in which the WLD is held. To the extent the private key(s) for a digital wallet are lost, destroyed, or otherwise compromised and no backup of the private key(s) is accessible, neither we nor our custodians will be able to access the WLD held in the related digital wallet. Furthermore, we cannot provide assurance that our digital wallets, nor the digital wallets of our custodians held on our behalf, will not be compromised as a result of a cyberattack.

Worldcoin’s unique approach to digital identity verification, including the use of proprietary iris-scanning Orb technology, introduces additional risks. The effectiveness, security, and privacy of the Orb and the associated Proof of Human (PoH) system are critical to the success of the Worldcoin ecosystem. Any failure, security breach, or negative public perception regarding the Orb or the biometric data it collects could adversely impact the adoption and value of WLD.

Additionally, the use of biometric data may be subject to evolving privacy laws and regulations globally. Any failure to comply with such laws or any data breach involving biometric information could result in significant legal and reputational harm.

If we were deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, applicable restrictions likely would make it impractical for us to continue segments of our business as currently contemplated.

Under Sections 3(a)(1)(A) and (C) of the Investment Company Act, a company generally will be deemed to be an “investment company” if (i) it is, or holds itself out as being, engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities or (ii) it engages, or proposes to engage, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding, or trading in securities and it owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities, shares of registered money market funds under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Rule 3a-1 under the Investment Company Act generally provides that notwithstanding the Section 3(a)(1)(C) test described in clause (ii) above, an entity will not be deemed to be an “investment company” for purposes of the Investment Company Act if no more than 45% of the value of its assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities, shares of registered money market funds under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, and cash items) consists of, and no more than 45% of its net income after taxes (for the past four fiscal quarters combined) is derived from, securities other than U.S. government securities, shares of registered money market funds under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, securities issued by employees’ securities companies, securities issued by qualifying majority owned subsidiaries of such entity, and securities issued by qualifying companies that are controlled primarily by such entity. We do not believe that we are an “investment company” as such term is defined in either Section 3(a)(1)(A) or Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act.

With respect to Section 3(a)(1)(A), the substantial majority of the proceeds from our recent PIPE Offering will be used to acquire WLD, which is an amount in excess of 40% of our total assets. Since we believe WLD is not an investment security, we do not hold ourselves out as being engaged primarily, or propose to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities within the meaning of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act. With respect to Section 3(a)(1)(C), we believe we satisfy the elements of Rule 3a-1 and therefore are deemed not to be an investment company under, and we intend to conduct our operations such that we will not be deemed an investment company under, Section 3(a)(1)(C). We believe that we are not an investment company pursuant to Rule 3a-1 under the Investment Company Act because, on a consolidated basis with respect to wholly-owned subsidiaries but otherwise on an unconsolidated basis, no more than 45% of the value of our total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities, shares of registered money market funds under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, and cash items) consists of, and no more than 45% of our net income after taxes (for the last four fiscal quarters combined) is derived from, securities other than U.S. government securities, shares of registered money market funds under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, securities issued by employees’ securities companies, securities issued by qualifying majority owned subsidiaries of the Company, and securities issued by qualifying companies that are controlled primarily by the Company.

WLD and other digital assets, as well as new business models and transactions enabled by blockchain technologies, present novel interpretive questions under the Investment Company Act. There is a risk that assets or arrangements that we have concluded are not securities could be deemed to be securities by the SEC or another authority for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which would increase the percentage of securities held by us for Investment Company Act purposes. If we were deemed to be an investment company, Rule 3a-2 under the Investment Company Act is a safe harbor that provides a one-year grace period for transient investment companies that have a bona fide intent to be engaged primarily, as soon as is reasonably possible (in any event by the termination of such one-year period), in a business other than that of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities, with such intent evidenced by the company’s business activities and an appropriate resolution of its board of directors. The grace period is available not more than once every three years and runs from the earlier of (i) the date on which the issuer owns securities and/or cash having a value exceeding 50% of the issuer’s total assets on either a consolidated or unconsolidated basis or (ii) the date on which the issuer owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of such issuer’s total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Accordingly, the grace period may not be available at the time that we seek to rely on Rule 3a-2; however, Rule 3a-2 is a safe harbor and we may rely on any exemption or exclusion from investment company status available to us under the Investment Company Act at any given time. Furthermore, reliance on Rule 3a-2, Section 3(a)(1)(C), or Rule 3a-1 could require us to take actions to dispose of securities, limit our ability to make certain investments or enter into joint ventures, or otherwise limit or change our service offerings and operations. If we were to be deemed an investment company in the future, restrictions imposed by the Investment Company Act — including limitations on our ability to issue different classes of stock and equity compensation to directors, officers, and employees and restrictions on management, operations, and transactions with affiliated persons — likely would make it impractical for us to continue our business as contemplated, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, treasury and prospects.

The launch of central bank digital currencies (“CBDCs”) may adversely impact our business.

The introduction of any government-issued digital currency could eliminate or reduce the need or demand for private-sector issued crypto currencies, or significantly limit their utility. National governments around the world could introduce CBDCs, which could in turn limit the size of the market opportunity for cryptocurrencies, including WLD.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We may issue and sell from time to time shares of our Common Stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $2,700,000,000. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. There can be no assurance that we will sell any shares of our Common Stock under or fully utilize the Sales Agreement with the Agent as a source of financing.

We may use the net proceeds, if any, from the sale of our Common Stock offered by this prospectus, if any, for general corporate purposes, including, among other things:

We may also use such proceeds to fund acquisitions of businesses, assets or technologies that complement our current business. We have not determined the specific amount of the net proceeds to be used for such purposes. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from the sale of the shares of our Common Stock offered by this prospectus.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following description is a summary of some of the terms of our capital stock, our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and Delaware law. The descriptions in this prospectus of our capital stock and our organizational documents do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, our organizational documents, copies of which have been or will be filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus form a part.

Outstanding and Authorized Shares

We are authorized to issue up to a total of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock are available for issuance without further action by our stockholders, unless such action is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which our securities may be quoted or listed in the future. Our board of directors has the authority to amend our certificate of incorporation to create one or more series of preferred stock containing such rights, preferences, and limitations that the board of directors may approve without stockholder approval.

Voting

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. Holders of our common stock have no cumulative voting rights. All shares of common stock offered hereby will, when issued, be fully paid and nonassessable.

Quorum

Under our bylaws, the holders of at least one-third of the shares of our capital stock, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting. If a quorum is present, an action by stockholders entitled to vote on a matter is approved if the number of votes cast in favor of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action, with the exception of the election of directors, which requires a plurality of the votes cast.

Dividends

Declaration and payment of any dividend will be subject to the discretion of our board of directors. The time and amount of dividends will be dependent upon, among other things, our business prospects, results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements and availability, debt repayment obligations, capital expenditure needs, contractual restrictions, covenants in the agreements governing our current and future indebtedness, industry trends, the provisions of Delaware law affecting the payment of dividends and distributions to stockholders, and any other factors or considerations our board of directors may deem relevant. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business, and therefore do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

Liquidation

Upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up, holders of our common stock are entitled to share in all assets remaining after payment of all liabilities and the liquidation preferences of any of our outstanding shares of preferred stock. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding shares of preferred stock, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of our assets which are legally available.

Exclusive Forum of Certain Actions

Our certificate of incorporation provide, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, and only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any state court located within the State of Delaware, or, if and only if all such state courts lack subject matter jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) and any appellate court therefrom, to the fullest extent permitted by law, is the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative claim or cause of action brought on our behalf; (ii) any claim or cause of action for breach of fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees, agents or stockholders to us or to our stockholders; (iii) any claim or cause of action against us or any of our current or former directors, officers or other employees, arising out of or pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), our certificate of incorporation, or our bylaws (as each may be amended from time to time); and (iv) any claim or cause of action against us or any of our current or former directors, officers, or other employees, governed by the internal affairs doctrine or otherwise related to our internal affairs, in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the court having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants; provided, however, that the exclusive forum provision described above will not apply to claims or causes of action brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

Additionally, our certificate of incorporation provides that any stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of Delaware in connection with any action to enforce the above provisions.

Other Rights and Preferences

Holders of our common stock have no conversion, exchange, sinking fund, redemption, or appraisal rights (other than such as may be determined by the board of directors in its sole discretion) and have no preemptive rights to subscribe for any of our securities.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation, our Amended and Restated Bylaws and the DGCL

The provisions of our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest, open market purchases, removal of incumbent directors, and otherwise. These provisions, which are summarized below, are expected to discourage types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with us. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Vacancies. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide the right of our board of directors to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the board of directors or the resignation, death, or removal of a director, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our board of directors.

Preferred Stock. Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors in their sole discretion. Our board of directors may, without stockholder approval, issue a series of preferred stock with dividends, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock.

Amendment of Bylaws. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that the bylaws may be altered, amended, or repealed by the board of directors by an affirmative vote of a majority of the board of directors at any regular meeting of the board of directors.

Limitation of Liability. The certificate of incorporation provides for the limitation of liability of, and provides indemnification to, our directors and officers.

Special Stockholders Meeting. The bylaws provide that a special meeting of the stockholders may only be called by the president or a majority of the board of directors.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute.

Section 203 of the DGCL provides that if a person acquires 15% or more of the voting stock of a Delaware corporation, such person becomes an “interested stockholder” and may not engage in certain “business combinations” with the corporation for a period of three years from the time such person acquired 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock, unless:

Transfer Agent

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Nevada Agency and Transfer Company. The transfer agent’s address is at 50 West Liberty St., Suite 880, Reno, NV 89501 and its telephone number is (775) 322-0626.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBT SECURITIES

The following description of the terms of the debt securities sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities to which any prospectus supplement may relate. The particular terms of the debt securities offered by any prospectus supplement and the extent, if any, to which these general provisions may apply to those debt securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to those debt securities. Accordingly, for a description of the terms of a particular issue of debt securities, reference must be made to both the prospectus supplement relating thereto and to the following description.

We may issue debt securities from time to time in one or more series. The debt securities will be general obligations of Eightco Holdings Inc. The debt securities may be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a secured or unsecured senior or subordinated basis, jointly and severally, by guarantors, if any. In the event that any series of debt securities will be subordinated to other indebtedness that we have outstanding or may incur, the terms of the subordination will be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the subordinated debt securities. Debt securities will be issued under one or more indentures between us and the trustee identified in the applicable prospectus supplement. The following discussion of certain provisions of the indenture is a summary only and should not be considered a complete description of the terms and provisions of the indenture. Accordingly, the following discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the indenture, including the definition of certain terms used below. You should refer to the indenture for the complete terms of the debt securities.

General

The debt securities will represent direct, general obligations of Eightco Holdings Inc. and:

The aggregate principal amount of debt securities that we may authenticate and deliver is unlimited. Subject to limitations contained in the indenture, we may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the holders of a series of debt securities, issue additional debt securities of any such series on the same terms and conditions as the debt securities of such series, except for any differences in the issue price and, if applicable, the initial interest accrual date and interest payment date; provided that if the additional debt securities are not fungible with the debt securities of such series for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional debt securities will have one or more separate CUSIP numbers. You should refer to the applicable prospectus supplement for the following terms of the debt securities of the series with respect to which that prospectus supplement is being delivered:

The prospectus supplement will also describe any material U.S. federal income tax consequences or other special considerations applicable to the series of debt securities to which such prospectus supplement relates, including those applicable to:

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, securities in registered form may be transferred or exchanged at the office of the trustee at which its corporate trust business is principally administered in the United States, subject to the limitations provided in the indenture, without the payment of any service charge, other than any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith. Securities in bearer form will be transferable only by delivery. Provisions with respect to the exchange of securities in bearer form will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to those securities in bearer form.

All funds that we pay to a paying agent for the payment of principal, premium or interest with respect to any debt securities that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after that principal, premium or interest will have become due and payable will be repaid to us, and the holders of those debt securities or any related coupons will thereafter look only to us for payment thereof.

Global Securities

The debt securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities. A global security is a debt security that represents, and is denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, all outstanding debt securities of a series, or any portion thereof, in either case having the same terms, including the same original issue date, date or dates on which principal and interest are due, and interest rate or method of determining interest. A global security will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary, which will be identified in the prospectus supplement relating to such debt securities. Global securities may be issued in either registered or bearer form and in either temporary or definitive form. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual debt securities represented thereby, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary to a nominee of the depositary, by a nominee of the depositary to the depositary or another nominee of the depositary, or by the depositary or any nominee of the depositary to a successor depositary or any nominee of such successor.

The terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to a series of debt securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to such debt securities. We anticipate that the following provisions will generally apply to depositary arrangements, in all cases subject to any restrictions or limitations described in the prospectus supplement relating to such debt securities.

Upon the issuance of a global security, the depositary for such global security will credit, on its book entry registration and transfer system, the respective principal amounts of the individual debt securities represented by such global security to the accounts of persons that have accounts with the depositary. Such accounts will be designated by the dealers or underwriters with respect to such debt securities or, if such debt securities are offered and sold directly by us or through one or more agents, by us or such agents. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be limited to participants or persons that hold beneficial interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in such global security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary (with respect to interests of participants) or records maintained by participants (with respect to interests of persons other than participants). The laws of some states require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such limitations and laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global security.

So long as the depositary for a global security, or its nominee, is the registered owner or holder of such global security, such depositary or nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the individual debt securities represented by such global security for all purposes under the indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not be entitled to have any of the individual debt securities represented by such global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of any of such debt securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the indenture.

Payments of principal, premium and interest with respect to individual debt securities represented by a global security will be made to the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner or holder of such global security. Neither we, the trustee, any paying agent or registrar for such debt securities nor any agent of ours or the trustee will have any responsibility or liability for:

Neither we, the trustee, any paying agent or registrar for such debt securities nor any agent of ours or the trustee will be liable for any delay by the depositary, its nominee or any of its participants in identifying the owners of beneficial interests in the global security, and we and the trustee may conclusively rely on, and will be protected in relying on, instructions from the depositary or its nominee for all purposes.

We expect that the depositary for a series of debt securities or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium or interest with respect to a definitive global security representing any of such debt securities, will immediately credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of such global security, as shown on the records of the depositary or its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in such global security held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers and registered in “street name.” Such payments will be the responsibility of such participants. See “—Limitations on Issuance of Securities in Bearer Form” below.

If the depositary for a series of debt securities is at any time unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as depositary, we will appoint a successor depositary. If a successor depositary is not appointed by us within 90 days, we will issue individual debt securities of such series in exchange for the global security representing such series of debt securities. In addition, we may at any time and in our sole discretion determine to no longer have debt securities of a series represented by a global security and, in such event, will issue individual debt securities of such series in exchange for the global security representing such series of debt securities. Furthermore, if we so specify with respect to the debt securities of a series, an owner of a beneficial interest in a global security representing debt securities of such series may, on terms acceptable to us, the trustee and the depositary for such global security, receive individual debt securities of such series in exchange for such beneficial interests. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in a global security will be entitled to physical delivery of individual debt securities of the series represented by such global security equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such debt securities registered in its name (if the debt securities are issuable as securities in registered form). Individual debt securities of such series so issued generally will be issued:

Limitations on Issuance of Securities in Bearer Form

The debt securities of a series may be issued as securities in registered form (which will be registered as to principal and interest in the register maintained by the registrar for such debt securities) or securities in bearer form (which will be transferable only by delivery). If such debt securities are issuable as securities in bearer form, the applicable prospectus supplement will describe certain special limitations and considerations that will apply to such debt securities.

Certain Covenants

If debt securities are issued, the indenture, as supplemented for a particular series of debt securities, will contain certain covenants for the benefit of the holders of such series of debt securities, which will be applicable (unless waived or amended) so long as any of the debt securities of such series are outstanding, unless stated otherwise in the prospectus supplement. The specific terms of the covenants, and summaries thereof, will be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to such series of debt securities.

Subordination

Debt securities of a series and any guarantees, may be subordinated, which we refer to as subordinated debt securities, to senior indebtedness (as defined in the applicable prospectus supplement) to the extent set forth in the prospectus supplement relating thereto. To the extent we conduct operations through subsidiaries, the holders of debt securities (whether or not subordinated debt securities) will be structurally subordinated to the creditors of our subsidiaries, except to the extent such subsidiary is a guarantor of such series of debt securities.

Events of Default

Each of the following will constitute an event of default under the form of indenture with respect to any series of debt securities:

A prospectus supplement may omit, modify or add to the foregoing events of default.

An event of default under one series of debt securities does not necessarily constitute an event of default under any other series of debt securities. A default under the fourth bullet above will not constitute an event of default until the trustee notifies us or the holders of 30% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series notify us and the trustee of the default and we do not cure such default within the time specified after receipt of such notice.

If any event of default (other than an event of default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) occurs and is continuing with respect to a particular series of debt securities, either the trustee or the holders of not less than 30% in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of that series then outstanding by written notice to us (and to the trustee if such notice is given by the holders), may declare the principal amount of (or in the case of original issue discount debt securities, the portion thereby specified in the terms thereof), and accrued interest on the debt securities of that series to be immediately due and payable. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal amount of, and accrued interest on the debt securities of that series will automatically become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holders. Upon a declaration by the trustee or the holders, we will be obligated to pay the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest of each affected series of debt securities so declared due and payable.

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of any series then outstanding by notice to the trustee under the indenture may on behalf of the holders of all of such series of debt securities waive any existing default or event of default and its consequences under the applicable indenture except a continuing default or event of default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, the debt securities of such series.

Subject to the provisions of the indenture relating to the duties of the trustee in case an event of default will occur and be continuing, the trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture or debt securities at the request or direction of any of the holders of any series of debt securities, unless such holders have offered to the trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the trustee against any cost, loss, liability or expense. Subject to such provisions for the indemnification of the trustee, the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of a series have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee with respect to such series of debt securities. The trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the indenture or that the trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder of such series of debt securities (it being understood that the trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such direction unduly prejudices the rights of such holders) or that would involve the trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the indenture, the trustee is entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all costs, losses, liabilities and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest when due, no holder of debt securities of a series has any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the indenture or debt securities, or for the appointment of a receiver or a trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless:

However, such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of a debt security of such series for the enforcement of payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on such debt security on or after the applicable due date specified in such debt security.

The indenture provides that if a default with respect to a series of debt securities occurs and is continuing and is actually known to a trust officer of the trustee, the trustee must send to each holder of such debt securities notice of the default within 90 days after it is actually known to a trust officer of the trustee. Except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal or premium, if any, upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise with respect to any debt security of a series when such amount becomes due and payable, the trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a committee of its trust officers in good faith determines that withholding notice is not opposed to the interests of the holders.

The indenture requires us to furnish to the trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a statement by certain of our officers as to whether or not we, to their knowledge, are in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of the indenture and, if so, specifying all such known defaults. We are also required to deliver to the trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any event which would constitute a default; provided, however, that failure to provide such written notice will not in and of itself result in a default under the indenture.

Street name and other indirect holders should consult their banks and brokers for information on their requirements for giving notice or taking other actions upon a default.

Modification and Waiver

Subject to certain exceptions, modifications and amendments of the indenture, any supplemental indenture and any series of debt securities may be made by us and the trustee with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series affected by such modification or amendment.

No such modification or amendment may, without the consent of each holder affected thereby:

Without the consent of any holder, we and the trustee may amend the indenture for one or more of the following purposes:

Mergers and Sales of Assets

The indenture provides that we will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease in one transaction or a series of related transactions, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of our properties and assets to, another person, unless (i) the resulting, surviving or transferee person, if not Eightco Holdings Inc., is a person organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under the indenture; (iii) the resulting, surviving or transferee person, if not Eightco Holdings Inc., expressly assumes by supplemental indenture in a form satisfactory to the trustee all of our obligations under the debt securities and the indenture; and (iv) we or the successor person has delivered to the trustee the certificates and opinions of counsel required under the indenture.

Upon any such consolidation, merger or transfer, the resulting, surviving or transferee person shall succeed to, and may exercise every right and power of, Eightco Holdings Inc. under the indenture.

Satisfaction and Discharge of the Indenture; Defeasance

Unless otherwise provided for in the prospectus supplement, the indenture will generally cease to be of any further effect with respect to a series of debt securities if (a) we have delivered to the trustee for cancellation all debt securities of such series (with certain limited exceptions) or (b) all debt securities and coupons of such series not theretofore delivered to the trustee for cancellation will have become due and payable, or are by their terms to become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year, and we will have irrevocably deposited with the trustee as trust funds the entire amount sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all such debt securities and coupons (and if, in either case, we will also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable under the indenture by us).

In addition, we will have a “legal defeasance option” (pursuant to which we may terminate, with respect to the debt securities of a particular series, all of our obligations under such debt securities and the indenture with respect to such debt securities) and a “covenant defeasance option” (pursuant to which we may terminate, with respect to the debt securities of a particular series, our obligations with respect to such debt securities under certain specified covenants contained in the indenture). If we exercise our legal defeasance option with respect to a series of debt securities, payment of such debt securities may not be accelerated because of an event of default. If we exercise our covenant defeasance option with respect to a series of debt securities, payment of such debt securities may not be accelerated because of an event of default related to the specified covenants.

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the procedures we must follow in order to exercise our defeasance options.

Regarding the Trustee

The indenture provides that, except during the continuance of an event of default, the trustee will perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in the indenture. During the existence of an event of default, the trustee may exercise such rights and powers vested in it under the indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

The indenture and provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are incorporated by reference therein contain limitations on the rights of the trustee, should it become one of our creditors, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received by it in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions with us or any of our affiliates; provided, however, that if it acquires any conflicting interest (as defined in the indenture or in the Trust Indenture Act), it must eliminate such conflict, apply to the SEC for permission to continue, or resign.

Governing Law

The indenture and the debt securities will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES

General

We may, at our option, elect to offer fractional shares rather than full shares of the preferred stock of a series. In the event that we determine to do so, we will issue receipts for depositary shares, each of which will represent a fraction (to be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of preferred stock) of a share of a particular series of preferred stock as more fully described below.

The shares of any series of preferred stock represented by depositary shares will be deposited under one or more deposit agreements among us, a depositary to be named in the applicable prospectus supplement, and the holders from time to time of depositary receipts issued thereunder. Subject to the terms of the applicable deposit agreement, each holder of a depositary share will be entitled, in proportion to the applicable fraction of a share of preferred stock represented by the depositary share, to all the rights and preferences of the preferred stock represented thereby (including, as applicable, dividend, voting, redemption, subscription and liquidation rights).

The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued pursuant to the deposit agreement. Depositary receipts will be distributed to those persons purchasing the fractional shares of the related series of preferred stock.

The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the depositary shares to which any prospectus supplement may relate. The particular terms of the depositary shares to which any prospectus supplement may relate and the extent, if any, to which such general provisions may apply to the depositary shares so offered will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. To the extent that any particular terms of the depositary shares or the deposit agreement described in a prospectus supplement differ from any of the terms described below, then the terms described below will be deemed to have been superseded by that prospectus supplement relating to such deposited shares. The forms of deposit agreement and depositary receipt will be filed as exhibits to the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

The following summary of certain provisions of the depositary shares and deposit agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by express reference to, all the provisions of the deposit agreement and the applicable prospectus supplement, including the definitions.

Immediately following our issuance of shares of a series of preferred stock that will be offered as fractional shares, we will deposit the shares with the depositary, which will then issue and deliver the depositary receipts to the purchasers thereof. Depositary receipts will only be issued evidencing whole depositary shares. A depositary receipt may evidence any number of whole depositary shares.

Pending the preparation of definitive depositary receipts, the depositary may, upon our written order, issue temporary depositary receipts substantially identical to (and entitling the holders thereof to all the rights pertaining to) the definitive depositary receipts but not in definitive form. Definitive depositary receipts will be prepared thereafter without unreasonable delay, and such temporary depositary receipts will be exchangeable for definitive depositary receipts at our expense.

Dividends and Other Distributions

The depositary will distribute all cash dividends or other cash distributions received in respect of the related series of preferred stock to the record holders of depositary shares relating to the series of preferred stock in proportion to the number of the depositary shares owned by the holders.

In the event of a distribution other than in cash, the depositary will distribute property received by it to the record holders of depositary shares entitled thereto in proportion to the number of depositary shares owned by the holders, unless the depositary determines that the distribution cannot be made proportionately among the holders or that it is not feasible to make the distributions, in which case the depositary may, with our approval, adopt any method as it deems equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting the distribution, including the sale (at public or private sale) of the securities or property thus received, or any part thereof, at the place or places and upon those terms as it may deem proper.

The amount distributed in any of the foregoing cases will be reduced by any amounts required to be withheld by us or the depositary on account of taxes or other governmental charges.

Redemption of Depositary Shares

If any series of the preferred stock underlying the depositary shares is subject to redemption, the depositary shares will be redeemed from the proceeds received by the depositary resulting from any redemption, in whole or in part, of the series of the preferred stock held by the depositary. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the applicable fraction of the redemption price per share payable with respect to the series of the preferred stock. If we redeem shares of a series of preferred stock held by the depositary, the depositary will redeem as of the same redemption date the number of depositary shares representing the shares of preferred stock so redeemed. If less than all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or substantially equivalent method determined by the depositary.

After the date fixed for redemption, the depositary shares so called for redemption will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights of the holders of the depositary shares will cease, except the right to receive the monies payable upon redemption and any money or other property to which the holders of the depositary shares were entitled upon such redemption, upon surrender to the depositary of the depositary receipts evidencing the depositary shares. Any funds deposited by us with the depositary for any depositary shares that the holders thereof fail to redeem will be returned to us after a period of two years from the date the funds are so deposited.

Voting the Underlying Preferred Stock

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

Withdrawal of Stock

Upon surrender of the depositary receipts at the corporate trust office of the depositary and upon payment of the taxes, charges and fees provided for in the deposit agreement and subject to the terms thereof, the holder of the depositary shares evidenced thereby will be entitled to delivery at such office, to or upon his or her order, of the number of whole shares of the related series of preferred stock and any money or other property, if any, represented by the depositary shares. Holders of depositary shares will be entitled to receive whole shares of the related series of preferred stock, but holders of the whole shares of preferred stock will not thereafter be entitled to deposit the shares of preferred stock with the depositary or to receive depositary shares therefor. If the depositary receipts delivered by the holder evidence a number of depositary shares in excess of the number of depositary shares representing the number of whole shares of the related series of preferred stock to be withdrawn, the depositary will deliver to the holder or upon his or her order at the same time a new depositary receipt evidencing the excess number of depositary shares.

Amendment and Termination of a Deposit Agreement

The form of depositary receipt evidencing the depositary shares of any series and any provision of the applicable deposit agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended by agreement between us and the depositary. However, any amendment that materially adversely alters the rights of the holders of depositary shares of any series will not be effective unless the amendment has been approved by the holders of at least a majority of the depositary shares of the series then outstanding. Every holder of a depositary receipt at the time the amendment becomes effective will be deemed, by continuing to hold the depositary receipt, to be bound by the deposit agreement as so amended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may any amendment impair the right of any holder of any depositary shares, upon surrender of the depositary receipts evidencing the depositary shares and subject to any conditions specified in the deposit agreement, to receive shares of the related series of preferred stock and any money or other property represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law. The deposit agreement may be terminated by us at any time upon not less than 60 days prior written notice to the depositary, in which case, on a date that is not later than 30 days after the date of the notice, the depositary shall deliver or make available for delivery to holders of depositary shares, upon surrender of the depositary receipts evidencing the depositary shares, the number of whole or fractional shares of the related series of preferred stock as are represented by the depositary shares. The deposit agreement shall automatically terminate after all outstanding depositary shares have been redeemed or there has been a final distribution in respect of the related series of preferred stock in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us and the distribution has been distributed to the holders of depositary shares.

Charges of Depositary

We will pay all transfer and other taxes and the governmental charges arising solely from the existence of the depositary arrangements. We will pay the charges of the depositary, including charges in connection with the initial deposit of the related series of preferred stock and the initial issuance of the depositary shares and all withdrawals of shares of the related series of preferred stock, except that holders of depositary shares will pay transfer and other taxes and governmental charges and any other charges as are expressly provided in the deposit agreement to be for their accounts.

Resignation and Removal of Depositary

The depositary may resign at any time by delivering to us written notice of its election to do so, and we may at any time remove the depositary. Any resignation or removal will take effect upon the appointment of a successor depositary, which successor depositary must be appointed within 60 days after delivery of the notice of resignation or removal and must be a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000.

Miscellaneous

The depositary will forward to the holders of depositary shares all reports and communications from us that are delivered to the depositary and which we are required to furnish to the holders of the related preferred stock.

The depositary’s corporate trust office will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, the depositary will act as transfer agent and registrar for depositary receipts and if shares of a series of preferred stock are redeemable, the depositary will also act as redemption agent for the corresponding depositary receipts.

DESCRIPTION OF THE WARRANTS

The following description of the terms of the warrants sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the warrants to which any prospectus supplement may relate. We may issue warrants for the purchase of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities or depositary shares. Warrants may be issued independently or together with common stock, preferred stock, debt securities or depositary shares offered by any prospectus supplement and may be attached to or separate from any such offered securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders or beneficial owners of warrants. The following summary of certain provisions of the warrants does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the provisions of the warrant agreement that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the offering of such warrants.

Debt Warrants

The prospectus supplement relating to a particular issue of debt warrants will describe the terms of such debt warrants, including the following:

Stock Warrants

The prospectus supplement relating to any particular issue of common stock warrants, preferred stock warrants or depositary share warrants will describe the terms of such warrants, including the following:

DESCRIPTION OF THE RIGHTS

We may issue rights to purchase our common stock. The rights may or may not be transferable by the persons purchasing or receiving the rights. In connection with any rights offering, we may enter into a standby underwriting or other arrangement with one or more underwriters or other persons pursuant to which such underwriters or other persons would purchase any offered securities remaining unsubscribed for after such rights offering. Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agent agreement to be entered into between us and one or more banks, trust companies or other financial institutions, as rights agent, that we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement. The rights agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the rights and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of rights certificates or beneficial owners of rights.

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

Each right would entitle the holder of the rights to purchase for cash the principal amount of shares of common stock at the exercise price set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Rights may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date for the rights provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, all unexercised rights will become void.

If less than all of the rights issued in any rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed securities directly to persons other than our security holders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby arrangements, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PURCHASE CONTRACTS

We may issue, from time to time, purchase contracts, including contracts obligating holders to purchase from us and us to sell to the holders, a specified principal amount of debt securities, shares of common stock or preferred stock, depositary shares, government securities, or other securities that we may sell under this prospectus at a future date or dates. The consideration payable upon settlement of the purchase contracts may be fixed at the time the purchase contracts are issued or may be determined by a specific reference to a formula set forth in the purchase contracts. The purchase contracts may be issued separately or as part of units consisting of a purchase contract and other securities or obligations issued by us or third parties, including United States treasury securities, securing the holders’ obligations to purchase the relevant securities under the purchase contracts. The purchase contracts may require us to make periodic payments to the holders of the purchase contracts or units or vice versa, and the payments may be unsecured or prefunded on some basis. The purchase contracts may require holders to secure their obligations under the purchase contracts.

The prospectus supplement related to any particular purchase contracts will describe, among other things, the material terms of the purchase contracts and of the securities being sold pursuant to such purchase contracts, a discussion, if appropriate, of any special United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the purchase contracts and any material provisions governing the purchase contracts that differ from those described above. The description in the prospectus supplement will not necessarily be complete and will be qualified in its entirety by reference to the purchase contracts, and, if applicable, collateral arrangements and depositary arrangements, relating to the purchase contracts.

DESCRIPTION OF THE UNITS

We may, from time to time, issue units comprised of one or more of certain other securities that may be offered under this prospectus, in any combination. Each unit may also include debt obligations of third parties, such as U.S. Treasury securities. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately at any time, or at any time before a specified date.

Any prospectus supplement related to any particular units will describe, among other things:

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may offer and sell the securities in any one or more of the following ways:

In addition, we may enter into option, share lending or other types of transactions that require us to deliver shares of common stock to an underwriter, broker or dealer, who will then resell or transfer the shares of common stock under this prospectus. We may also enter into hedging transactions with respect to our securities. For example, we may:

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

Each time we sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will name any underwriter, dealer or agent involved in the offer and sale of the securities. The prospectus supplement will also set forth the terms of the offering, including:

If underwriters or dealers are used in the sale, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters or dealers for their own account. The securities may be sold from time to time by us in one or more transactions:

Such sales may be effected:

The securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more of such firms. Unless otherwise set forth in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of underwriters or dealers to purchase the securities offered will be subject to certain conditions precedent and the underwriters or dealers will be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if any are purchased. Any public offering price and any discount or concession allowed or reallowed or paid by underwriters or dealers to other dealers may be changed from time to time.

Any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. Any shares of common stock offered under this prospectus will be listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (or other such exchange or automated quotation system on which the common stock is listed), subject to official notice of issuance.

The securities may be sold directly by us or through agents designated by us from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable by us to such agent will be set forth in, the prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

Offers to purchase the securities offered by this prospectus may be solicited, and sales of the securities may be made by us directly to institutional investors or others, who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any resale of the securities. The terms of any offer made in this manner will be included in the prospectus supplement relating to the offer.

If indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, underwriters, dealers or agents will be authorized to solicit offers by certain institutional investors to purchase securities from us pursuant to contracts providing for payment and delivery at a future date. Institutional investors with which these contracts may be made include, among others:

In all cases, these purchasers must be approved by us. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, the obligations of any purchaser under any of these contracts will not be subject to any conditions except that (a) the purchase of the securities must not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction to which that purchaser is subject, and (b) if the securities are also being sold to underwriters, we must have sold to these underwriters the securities not subject to delayed delivery. Underwriters and other agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of these contracts.

Some of the underwriters, dealers or agents used by us in any offering of securities under this prospectus may be customers of, engage in transactions with, and perform services for us or affiliates of ours in the ordinary course of business. Underwriters, dealers, agents and other persons may be entitled under agreements which may be entered into with us to indemnification against and contribution toward certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to be reimbursed by us for certain expenses.

Subject to any restrictions relating to debt securities in bearer form, any securities initially sold outside the United States may be resold in the United States through underwriters, dealers or otherwise.

Any underwriters to which offered securities are sold by us for public offering and sale may make a market in such securities, but those underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time.

The anticipated date of delivery of the securities offered by this prospectus will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the offering.

To comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the securities may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

Company Overview

Our Company was established in 2021, initially composed of three businesses – the Web3 business, the BTC Mining Hardware business and the Corrugated Packaging business, which we acquired from our former parent company, Vinco Ventures, Inc. These businesses had a more extended operating history than ours, and we include information related to their operations before our existence and acquisition in our discussions.

On October 1, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Forever 8 Fund, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company focused on purchasing inventory for e-commerce retailers (“Forever 8”). The Company’s business has since been focused primarily on the Corrugated Packaging business and the inventory cash flow solutions business of Forever 8 (the “Forever 8 business”).

Our Company is currently comprised of two main businesses: the Forever 8 business and our Corrugated Packaging business. Our Forever 8 business is operated through our subsidiary, Forever 8. Under the umbrella of our Web3 Business, we intend to integrate blockchain technology into the existing consumer facing industries starting with the Forever 8 business. Our Corrugated Packaging Business manufactures and sells custom packaging for a wide variety of products and through packaging helps customers generate brand awareness and promote brand image. Our Web3 business began making sales in the first quarter of 2022, though as of the date of this prospectus, we are not anticipating any future BTC hardware sales, and our Packaging Business has been in operation for over 50 years. Additionally, the Company previously sold BTC mining equipment and developed an NFT character set under its Web3 business but has no intention of continuing this business at this time.

On October 13, 2021, Kevin O’Donnell, Frank Jennings, and Louis Foreman were appointed to our board of directors, and Brett Vroman was appointed as chief financial officer. On April 26, 2025, Nicola Caiano was appointed to our board of directors. On September 8, 2025, Daniel Ives was appointed to serve as the Chairman of the Company’s board of directors and Paul Vassilakos resigned as chief executive officer and director of the Company. On September 8, 2025, Kevin O’Donnell was appointed as chief executive officer of the Company.

In connection with the PIPE Offering (as defined below), the Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering to acquire WLD for the Company’s treasury operations. Worldcoin will serve as the Company’s primary treasury reserve asset.

The information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this prospectus or any prospectus supplement (except for SEC reports that are expressly incorporated by reference herein).

Our Revenue Sources

Forever 8

On October 1, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Forever 8. Forever 8 provides funding solutions for e-commerce businesses which sell on Amazon, Shopify and other leading online platforms. Forever 8 uses proprietary technology to review product sales data and determine funding potential for online retail entrepreneurs around the world. Forever 8’s process is automated and does not require a personal guarantee, credit check or traditional lending requirements. Forever 8’s unique approach directly purchases inventory on its customers’ behalf, applies a mark-up and collects the revenue as the products are sold. The Company assumes the role of supplier and acts as a principal in these transactions, and therefore recognizes revenue on a gross basis. At the time of entering into an agreement with the customer, Forever 8 takes title and assumes control of the inventory when it is purchased from its customers or directly from suppliers. This includes the responsibility for managing the inventory. Forever 8 has full discretion over the pricing of the inventory sold to its customers, established at the time of signing the agreement. Forever 8 also retains the right to liquidate inventory, exercising pricing discretion, particularly if certain sales thresholds are not met, which could result in selling below cost. Forever 8 is not entitled to incremental fees from vendor customers for unsold inventory but its pricing model includes variable pricing based on aged inventory. The primary source of revenue is from the sale of inventory to its customers at a markup. Under the terms of the agreement, Forever 8 does not have an option to put or sell unsold inventory back to vendor customers.

Corrugated Packaging Business

The Corrugated Packaging Business, through Ferguson Containers, manufactures and sells custom packaging for a wide variety of products. In our experience, packaging has the capability to “tell” the products story, generating increased product awareness, promote brand image, and drive unit growth. Senior management has more than 100 years of combined experience marketing, producing and delivering packaging materials. A hallmark of our operation is our quick production cycle. We can often begin a production run within minutes of receipt of an order. Many of our products are manufactured from 100% post-consumer recycled material. When production is complete, we typically ship the product using our own trucks rather than relying on a common carrier. Ferguson Containers does not have long-term agreements with its customers, and instead manufactures and sells its packaging products subject to purchase orders from its customers.

On November 22, 2024, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) among Ferguson Containers, Ferguson Containers, LLC (the “Buyer”) and Edward Reichard and Derick Reichard (the “Buyer’s Owners” and together with the Buyer, the “Buying Parties”). Pursuant to the APA, we agreed to sell certain assets (the “Purchased Assets”) constituting the business of Ferguson Containers to the Buyer. The purchase price for the Purchased Assets will be (i) an aggregate of $557,835 in cash, (ii) $2,500,000 issued in the form of a seller note and (iii) the right to receive certain earnout consideration upon the achievement of certain milestones.

In December 2024, our shareholders approved the transactions contemplated by the APA and we are in the process of seeking to consummate such transactions.

Worldcoin and the Worldcoin Ecosystem

Worldcoin is a decentralized, open-source digital identity and cryptocurrency platform designed to establish a universal, privacy-preserving proof of personhood and to serve as a foundational layer for digital trust in the age of artificial intelligence. WLD is the native cryptocurrency of the Worldcoin network and is used to incentivize participation, facilitate transactions, and support the network’s operations. Launched with the mission to create a global network of verified humans, Worldcoin leverages proprietary biometric technology, most notably the Orb, a device that verifies unique human identity through iris scanning, to enable secure, privacy-centric digital identity verification.

Worldcoin is rapidly emerging as a leading platform for digital identity and authentication, aiming to address the growing challenges of distinguishing humans from bots and artificial intelligence agents online. As of 2025, Worldcoin has created nearly 16 million zero-knowledge Proof of Human (PoH) accounts across more than 45 countries, making it one of the largest and most ambitious digital identity projects globally. The Worldcoin ecosystem is supported by a diverse and expanding community of developers, users, and institutional partners, and is increasingly recognized for its potential to underpin next-generation online trust, verification, and economic exchange.

The Worldcoin network is built to be programmable and interoperable, supporting a range of applications that require secure, decentralized identity verification. Its zero-knowledge proof technology ensures that sensitive biometric information is not stored on the blockchain, preserving user privacy while enabling robust authentication. The Orb hardware serves as the backbone of the network, verifying unique humans, distributing WLD tokens, and creating a trusted digital identity system for the AI era.

Worldcoin’s ecosystem is experiencing significant growth, with increasing adoption by individuals, enterprises, and institutions seeking reliable digital identity solutions. The platform is also attracting attention from the broader blockchain and cryptocurrency community, as well as from traditional financial and technology sectors interested in integrating secure, decentralized identity verification into their products and services. Worldcoin’s programmability and focus on privacy and security make it a compelling choice for a wide range of use cases, from online authentication and access control to digital asset issuance and economic participation.

The Worldcoin community is actively pursuing technological advancements to enhance scalability, security, and usability. Ongoing initiatives include the development of more efficient biometric verification methods, improvements to the Orb hardware, and the expansion of the network’s global reach. However, the Worldcoin ecosystem faces a variety of risks, including regulatory uncertainty, technological and operational challenges, competition from other digital identity and authentication platforms, and potential vulnerabilities in its biometric and blockchain infrastructure. The value of WLD and the success of the Worldcoin network depend on continued adoption, technological innovation, and the ability to address these risks effectively.

Key Features and Capabilities of Worldcoin as a Leading Decentralized Identity Platform:

While Worldcoin offers transformative potential for digital identity and online trust, it is subject to a range of risks, including but not limited to: regulatory uncertainty regarding the classification and use of WLD; technological vulnerabilities in biometric verification and smart contract infrastructure; operational challenges in scaling Orb deployment and user onboarding; competition from alternative digital identity solutions and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs); and market volatility affecting the value of WLD. The long-term success of Worldcoin will depend on its ability to maintain user trust, achieve widespread adoption, and adapt to evolving technological and regulatory landscapes.

THE OFFERING

The number of shares of our Common Stock expected to be outstanding immediately after this offering is based on 248,689,336 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of September 9, 2025.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our Common Stock involves risks. Before purchasing any shares of our Common Stock, you should carefully consider the risks described below and discussed under the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as well as any amendment, supplement or update to the risk factors reflected in subsequent filings with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, and all of the other information contained in this prospectus and incorporated by reference into this prospectus and in any related free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently deem immaterial, also may become important factors that affect us. If any of such risks or the risks described below or in our SEC filings occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline, and you may lose some or all of your investment.

Risks Related to this Offering and Our Common Stock

The price of our Common Stock has and may continue to fluctuate significantly, and this may make it difficult for you to resell shares of Common Stock owned by you at times or at prices you find attractive.

The trading price of our Common Stock has fluctuated widely and may continue to fluctuate widely as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. Since September 10, 2024, our Common Stock has traded at prices as low as $1.39 per share and as high as $83.12 per share. This volatility may affect the price at which you could sell the shares of our Common Stock, and the sale of substantial amounts of our Common Stock could adversely affect the price of our Common Stock. Our stock price is likely to continue to be volatile and subject to significant price and volume fluctuations in response to market and other factors. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-12 of this prospectus.

As a result, you may not be able to sell your shares of Common Stock at or above the price at which you purchase them. In addition, the stock market in general, and the Nasdaq and the stock of digital asset and blockchain technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market and industry factors may negatively affect the market price of our Common Stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

Management will have broad discretion as to the allocation of the net proceeds from the sale of the shares of our Common Stock offered by this prospectus, and we may not use the net proceeds effectively.

Because we have not designated the amount of net proceeds from the sale of the shares of our Common Stock offered by this prospectus to be used for any particular purpose, our management will have broad discretion as to the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of the offering. See “Use of Proceeds” beginning on page S-18 of this prospectus. Our management may use the net proceeds, if any, for corporate purposes that may not improve our financial condition or market price of our Common Stock.

You may experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock you purchase.

The offering price per share of our Common Stock in this offering may exceed the net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock outstanding prior to this offering. Assuming that an aggregate of 67,214,339 shares of our Common Stock are sold pursuant to this prospectus at a price of $40.17 per share, which was the last reported sale price of our Common Stock on Nasdaq on September 9, 2025, for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,700,000,000 after deducting estimated commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us, you would experience immediate dilution of $28.94 per share, representing the difference between our as adjusted net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2025, 2025 after giving effect to this offering and the assumed offering price.

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

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

In addition, the sale of shares our Common Stock in this offering and any future sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the price of our Common Stock. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares of our Common Stock, or the perception that those shares may be sold, will have on the market price of our Common Stock.

We plan to sell shares of our Common Stock in “at the market offerings”, and investors who purchase shares of our Common Stock at different times will likely pay different prices.

Investors who purchase shares of our Common Stock in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices and may experience different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to the effect of market conditions, to vary the timing, prices and numbers of shares of our Common Stock sold in this offering. Investors may experience a decline in the value of their shares of our Common Stock. Many factors could have an impact on the market price of our Common Stock, including the factors described above and those disclosed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as updated in subsequent reports filed with the SEC.

The sale or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock could adversely affect the market price of such shares.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception or indication that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of such shares and could materially impair our ability to raise capital through equity offerings in the future or cause the trading price of our Common Stock to decline. We are unable to predict what effect, if any, sales of securities in this offering or by our significant stockholders, directors or officers will have on the market price of our Common Stock.

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

Subject to certain limitations in the Sales Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver instructions to Lafferty to sell shares of our Common Stock at any time throughout the term of the Sales Agreement. The number of shares that are sold to or through Lafferty after our instruction will fluctuate based on a number of factors, including the market price of our Common Stock during the sales period, the limits we set with Lafferty in any instruction to sell shares, and the demand for our Common Stock during the sales period. Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate during this offering, it is not currently possible to predict the number of shares that will be sold or the gross proceeds to be raised in connection with those sales.

We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

In the past, we have not paid dividends on our Common Stock. We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our Common Stock and we intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. In addition, the terms of future debt agreements may preclude us from paying dividends. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our Common Stock may be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

Market price of our Common Stock may be volatile, which could subject us to securities class action litigation and result in substantial losses for our stockholders.

The market price of shares of our Common Stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to many risk factors listed in this section and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus as well as other factors others beyond our control. Furthermore, the stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rate changes or international currency fluctuations, may negatively impact the market price of shares of our Common Stock. In addition, such fluctuations could subject us to securities class action litigation, which could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, which could potentially harm our business. As a result of this volatility, our stockholders may not be able to sell their shares of our Common Stock at or above the price at which they purchased their shares of our Common Stock.

If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or if they publish negative, or inaccurate, evaluations of our Common Stock, the price of our stock and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our Common Stock may be impacted, in part, by the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. There can be no assurance that analysts will cover us, continue to cover us or provide favorable coverage. If one or more analysts downgrade our Common Stock or change their opinion of our Common Stock, our share price may decline. In addition, if one or more analysts cease coverage of our Company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our share price or trading volume to decline.

The further development and acceptance of the Worldcoin (WLD) network, which represents a relatively new and rapidly evolving segment of the cryptocurrency industry, are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing or cessation of the development or acceptance of the Worldcoin network may adversely affect an investment in the Company.

Worldcoin, like other cryptocurrencies, may be used to buy and sell goods and services or to transfer and store value by users. The growth of the Worldcoin ecosystem is subject to a high degree of uncertainty, and factors affecting its development include:

Worldcoin and its ecosystem are subject to an evolving regulatory landscape. The application of state and federal securities laws and other regulations to WLD is unclear in certain respects, and regulators in the United States or foreign countries may interpret or apply existing laws in a manner that adversely affects the price or use of WLD. The U.S. federal government, states, regulatory agencies, and foreign countries may enact new laws or pursue enforcement actions that could materially impact the price of WLD or the ability of individuals or institutions such as us to own or transfer WLD.

If WLD is determined to constitute a security for purposes of federal securities laws, the additional regulatory restrictions imposed by such a determination could adversely affect the market price of WLD and, in turn, adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. Moreover, the risks of engaging in a digital asset treasury strategy may create complications due to the lack of experience that third parties have with companies engaging in such a strategy, such as increased costs of director and officer liability insurance or the potential inability to obtain such coverage on acceptable terms in the future.

The digital asset trading platforms on which WLD trades are relatively new and largely unregulated or may not be complying with existing regulations. These markets are local, national, and international and include a broadening range of cryptocurrencies and participants. Significant trading may occur on systems and platforms with minimum predictability. Spot markets may impose transaction or withdrawal limits or suspend withdrawals entirely, rendering the exchange of WLD for fiat currency difficult or impossible.

Digital asset trading platforms may lack certain safeguards put in place by more traditional exchanges to enhance the stability of trading and prevent flash crashes. As a result, the prices of WLD on digital asset trading platforms may be subject to larger and/or more frequent sudden declines than assets traded on more traditional exchanges. Tools to detect and deter fraudulent or manipulative trading activities may not be available to or employed by digital asset trading platforms or may not exist at all. The closure or temporary shutdown of digital asset trading platforms due to fraud, business failure, hackers or malware, or government-mandated regulation may reduce confidence in WLD and can slow down its mass adoption.

Negative perception, a lack of stability in the digital asset trading platforms, manipulation of trading platforms by customers, and/or the closure or temporary shutdown of such trading platforms may reduce confidence in WLD generally and result in greater volatility in the market price of WLD and the Common Stock. Furthermore, the closure or temporary shutdown of a WLD trading platform may impact the Company’s ability to determine the value of its WLD holdings.

The Worldcoin network relies on the Internet and proprietary hardware (such as the Orb for biometric verification). A significant disruption of Internet connectivity or the failure of the Orb hardware could disrupt the Worldcoin network’s functionality until such disruption is resolved.

Worldcoin, like other cryptocurrencies, is susceptible to various forms of cyberattacks, including denial-of-service attacks, border gateway protocol hijacking, and other security breaches. If such attacks occur, participants may lose faith in the security of WLD, which could affect its value and consequently the value of the Common Stock.

The Worldcoin ecosystem also relies on smart contracts and other blockchain-based technologies, which are subject to technical vulnerabilities, coding errors, security flaws, and exploits. Any vulnerability in a smart contract or the Worldcoin protocol could result in the loss or theft of WLD or other digital assets, which could have a materially adverse impact on our business.

The trading prices of many cryptocurrencies, including WLD, have experienced extreme volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. Extreme volatility in the future, including further declines in the trading price of WLD, could have a material adverse effect on the value of the Common Stock and the Common Stock could lose all or substantially all of their value.

The trading prices of many cryptocurrencies, including WLD, have experienced extreme volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. Extreme volatility in the future, including further declines in the trading price of WLD, could have a material adverse effect on the value of the Common Stock and the Common Stock could lose all or substantially all of its value. Furthermore, negative perception and a lack of stability and standardized regulation in the cryptocurrency economy may reduce confidence in the cryptocurrency economy and may result in greater volatility in the price of WLD and other cryptocurrencies, including a depreciation in value.

Risks Related to Investing in Worldcoin (WLD)

We hold our WLD with regulated custodians that have duties to safeguard our private keys, and use multisignature keys to prevent unauthorized access in accordance with our treasury operations. Our custodial services contracts do not restrict our ability to reallocate our WLD among our custodians, and our WLD holdings may be concentrated with a single custodian from time to time.

If there is a decrease in the availability of digital asset custodians that we believe can safely custody our WLD, for example, due to regulatory developments or enforcement actions that cause custodians to discontinue or limit their services, we may need to enter into agreements that are less favorable than our current agreements or take other measures to custody our WLD, and our ability to seek a greater degree of diversification in the use of custodial services would be materially adversely affected.

WLD is controllable only by the possessor of both the unique public key and private key(s) relating to the local or online digital wallet in which the WLD is held. To the extent the private key(s) for a digital wallet are lost, destroyed, or otherwise compromised and no backup of the private key(s) is accessible, neither we nor our custodians will be able to access the WLD held in the related digital wallet. Furthermore, we cannot provide assurance that our digital wallets, nor the digital wallets of our custodians held on our behalf, will not be compromised as a result of a cyberattack.

Worldcoin’s unique approach to digital identity verification, including the use of proprietary iris-scanning Orb technology, introduces additional risks. The effectiveness, security, and privacy of the Orb and the associated Proof of Human (PoH) system are critical to the success of the Worldcoin ecosystem. Any failure, security breach, or negative public perception regarding the Orb or the biometric data it collects could adversely impact the adoption and value of WLD.

Additionally, the use of biometric data may be subject to evolving privacy laws and regulations globally. Any failure to comply with such laws or any data breach involving biometric information could result in significant legal and reputational harm.

If we were deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, applicable restrictions likely would make it impractical for us to continue segments of our business as currently contemplated.

Under Sections 3(a)(1)(A) and (C) of the Investment Company Act, a company generally will be deemed to be an “investment company” if (i) it is, or holds itself out as being, engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities or (ii) it engages, or proposes to engage, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding, or trading in securities and it owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities, shares of registered money market funds under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Rule 3a-1 under the Investment Company Act generally provides that notwithstanding the Section 3(a)(1)(C) test described in clause (ii) above, an entity will not be deemed to be an “investment company” for purposes of the Investment Company Act if no more than 45% of the value of its assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities, shares of registered money market funds under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, and cash items) consists of, and no more than 45% of its net income after taxes (for the past four fiscal quarters combined) is derived from, securities other than U.S. government securities, shares of registered money market funds under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, securities issued by employees’ securities companies, securities issued by qualifying majority owned subsidiaries of such entity, and securities issued by qualifying companies that are controlled primarily by such entity. We do not believe that we are an “investment company” as such term is defined in either Section 3(a)(1)(A) or Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act.

With respect to Section 3(a)(1)(A), the substantial majority of the proceeds from our recent PIPE Offering will be used to acquire WLD, which is an amount in excess of 40% of our total assets. Since we believe WLD is not an investment security, we do not hold ourselves out as being engaged primarily, or propose to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities within the meaning of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act. With respect to Section 3(a)(1)(C), we believe we satisfy the elements of Rule 3a-1 and therefore are deemed not to be an investment company under, and we intend to conduct our operations such that we will not be deemed an investment company under, Section 3(a)(1)(C). We believe that we are not an investment company pursuant to Rule 3a-1 under the Investment Company Act because, on a consolidated basis with respect to wholly-owned subsidiaries but otherwise on an unconsolidated basis, no more than 45% of the value of our total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities, shares of registered money market funds under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, and cash items) consists of, and no more than 45% of our net income after taxes (for the last four fiscal quarters combined) is derived from, securities other than U.S. government securities, shares of registered money market funds under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, securities issued by employees’ securities companies, securities issued by qualifying majority owned subsidiaries of the Company, and securities issued by qualifying companies that are controlled primarily by the Company.

WLD and other digital assets, as well as new business models and transactions enabled by blockchain technologies, present novel interpretive questions under the Investment Company Act. There is a risk that assets or arrangements that we have concluded are not securities could be deemed to be securities by the SEC or another authority for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which would increase the percentage of securities held by us for Investment Company Act purposes. If we were deemed to be an investment company, Rule 3a-2 under the Investment Company Act is a safe harbor that provides a one-year grace period for transient investment companies that have a bona fide intent to be engaged primarily, as soon as is reasonably possible (in any event by the termination of such one-year period), in a business other than that of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities, with such intent evidenced by the company’s business activities and an appropriate resolution of its board of directors. The grace period is available not more than once every three years and runs from the earlier of (i) the date on which the issuer owns securities and/or cash having a value exceeding 50% of the issuer’s total assets on either a consolidated or unconsolidated basis or (ii) the date on which the issuer owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of such issuer’s total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Accordingly, the grace period may not be available at the time that we seek to rely on Rule 3a-2; however, Rule 3a-2 is a safe harbor and we may rely on any exemption or exclusion from investment company status available to us under the Investment Company Act at any given time. Furthermore, reliance on Rule 3a-2, Section 3(a)(1)(C), or Rule 3a-1 could require us to take actions to dispose of securities, limit our ability to make certain investments or enter into joint ventures, or otherwise limit or change our service offerings and operations. If we were to be deemed an investment company in the future, restrictions imposed by the Investment Company Act — including limitations on our ability to issue different classes of stock and equity compensation to directors, officers, and employees and restrictions on management, operations, and transactions with affiliated persons — likely would make it impractical for us to continue our business as contemplated, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, treasury and prospects.

The launch of central bank digital currencies (“CBDCs”) may adversely impact our business.

The introduction of any government-issued digital currency could eliminate or reduce the need or demand for private-sector issued crypto currencies, or significantly limit their utility. National governments around the world could introduce CBDCs, which could in turn limit the size of the market opportunity for cryptocurrencies, including WLD.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We may issue and sell from time to time shares of our Common Stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $2,700,000,000. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. There can be no assurance that we will sell any shares of our Common Stock under or fully utilize the Sales Agreement with the Agent as a source of financing.

We may use the net proceeds, if any, from the sale of our Common Stock offered by this prospectus, if any, for general corporate purposes, including, among other things:

We may also use such proceeds to fund acquisitions of businesses, assets or technologies that complement our current business. We have not determined the specific amount of the net proceeds to be used for such purposes. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from the sale of the shares of our Common Stock offered by this prospectus.

DILUTION

If you purchase shares of our Common Stock in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of our Common Stock and the net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock after this offering. As of June 30, 2025, our pro forma net tangible book value was $257.8 million, or $1.36 per share of Common Stock. The pro forma net tangible book as of June 30, 2025 includes the following:

We calculate the pro forma net tangible book value per share by dividing our net pro forma tangible assets (total tangible assets less total liabilities) by the number of shares of our Common Stock issued (pro forma as adjusted reflecting the transactions above) and outstanding as of June 30, 2025.

After giving effect to the sale by us of our Common Stock in the aggregate amount of $2,700,000,000 in this offering at an assumed offering price of $40.17 per share, which was the last reported sale price of our Common Stock on Nasdaq on September 9, 2025, and after deducting estimated commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2025 would have been approximately $2,876.8, or $11.23 per share of Common Stock. This amount represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $9.87 per share of our Common Stock to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $28.94 per share of our Common Stock to purchasers in this offering. The following table illustrates the dilution:

The table above assumes, for illustrative purposes, that an aggregate of 67,214,339 shares of our Common Stock are sold at a price of $40.17 per share, which was the last reported sale price of our Common Stock on Nasdaq on September 9, 2025, for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,700,000,000. The shares of our Common Stock sold in this offering, if any, will be sold from time to time at various prices.

An increase of $1.00 per share in the price at which the shares of our Common Stock are sold from the assumed offering price of $40.17 per share shown in the table above, assuming all of the shares of our Common Stock in the aggregate amount of $2,700,000 during the term of the Sales Agreement are sold at that price, would increase our as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock after the offering to $11.31 per share and would increase the dilution in net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock to new investors to $29.86 per share, after deducting estimated commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us.

A decrease of $1.00 per share in the price at which the shares are sold from the assumed offering price of $40.17 per share shown in the table above, assuming all of the shares of our Common Stock in the aggregate amount of $2,700,000 during the term of the Sales Agreement are sold at that price, would decrease our as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock after the offering to $11.16 per share and would decrease the dilution in net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock to new investors to $28.01 per share, after deducting estimated commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us. The number of shares of our Common Stock expected to be outstanding immediately after this offering included in the table above is based on 256,136,191 shares of our Common Stock.

As of September 10, 2025, there were also outstanding warrants to purchase up to 13,773,665 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.752 per share. If all such warrants were exercised in full, we would receive additional gross proceeds of approximately $24.1 million and would issue an additional 13,773,665 shares of our Common Stock, which would result in further dilution to investors purchasing shares of our Common Stock in this offering. On a pro forma basis giving effect to such exercises, our net tangible book value per share would have been approximately $11.02, and dilution to new investors purchasing our Common Stock in this offering would have been approximately $29.15 per share.

This information is supplied for illustrative purposes only and may differ based on the actual offering price and the actual number of shares of our Common Stock sold in this offering.

To the extent that other shares of our Common Stock are issued, investors purchasing shares of our Common Stock in this offering could experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations, even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of those securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings and do not expect to declare or pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors, subject to applicable laws, and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors considers relevant.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We entered into the Sales Agreement with the Agent on September 10, 2025. Under the terms of the Sales Agreement, we may offer and sell up to $2.7 billion of our Common Stock from time to time to or through Lafferty, acting as the principal and/or the sole designated sales agent. A copy of the Sales Agreement will be filed as an exhibit to a current report on Form 8-K and will be incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

Upon delivery of a placement notice to Lafferty and subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, Lafferty may sell shares of our Common Stock by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act. We may instruct Lafferty not to sell shares of our Common Stock if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by us from time to time. We or Lafferty may suspend the offering of shares of our Common Stock upon notice and subject to other conditions.

We will pay the Agent a commission, in cash, at a rate of up to 3.0% of the gross sales price per share issued by us and sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition of this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. We have also agreed to reimburse the Agent for certain specified fees and documented expenses, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of each of the co-counsels to the Agent in an amount not to exceed (a) $150,000 in connection with the execution of the Sales Agreement, (b) $25,000 per calendar quarter thereafter payable in connection with each representation date with respect to which the Company is obligated to deliver a certificate pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement, and (c) $40,000 for each program “refresh” (filing of a new registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement relating to the shares of Common Stock and/or an amendment of the Sales Agreement) executed pursuant to the Sales Agreement. We estimate that the total expenses for the offering, excluding compensation payable to the Agent pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement, will be approximately $81,000,000.

Settlement for sales of our Common Stock will occur on the business day immediately following the date on which any sales are made, or on such other date that is agreed upon by us and Lafferty in connection with a particular transaction, in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. Sales of our Common Stock as contemplated in this prospectus will be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as we and Lafferty may agree upon. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

Lafferty will use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its sales and trading practices, to solicit offers to purchase the shares of Common Stock under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sales Agreement. In connection with the potential future sales of Common Stock on our behalf, the Agent will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation of the Agent will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to the Agent and specified other persons against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

We will report at least quarterly the number of our shares of Common Stock sold under the Sales Agreement and the net proceeds to us in connection with such sales of our Common Stock.

The offering of our Common Stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the termination of the Sales Agreement as permitted therein. We and the Agent may each terminate the Sales Agreement at any time upon ten days’ prior notice.

The Agent and its respective affiliates may in the future provide various investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services for us and our affiliates, for which services they may in the future receive customary fees. To the extent required by Regulation M, the Agent will not engage in any market-making activities involving our shares of Common Stock while the offering is ongoing under this prospectus.

This prospectus may be made available in electronic format on a website maintained by the Agent, and the Agent may distribute this prospectus electronically.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

The following table sets forth the estimated expenses to be borne by us in connection with the issuance and distribution of securities being registered hereby.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The registrant is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL allows a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation will not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached the duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of the Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit. The registrant’s certificate of incorporation provides for this limitation of liability.

Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was, is or is threatened to be made party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who are, were or are threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, provided that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer, director, employee or agent is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or director has actually and reasonably incurred.

The registrant’s certificate of incorporation provides that its officers and directors will be indemnified by us to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law, as it now exists or may in the future be amended. In addition, the registrant’s certificate of incorporation provides that the registrant’s directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages to the registrant for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the registrant or stockholders of the registrant, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Delaware law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

The indemnification rights set forth above shall not be exclusive of any other right which an indemnified person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the registrant’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Item 16. Exhibits.

A list of exhibits filed with this registration statement is contained in the exhibits index, which is incorporated by reference.

Item 17. Undertakings.

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.

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