CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This reoffer prospectus contains or incorporates by reference “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that reflect our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements are made under the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in this prospectus, the words “anticipate”, “expect”, “plan”, “believe”, “seek”, “estimate” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These are statements that relate to future periods and include, but are not limited to, statements about the features, benefits and performance of our services or products, our ability to introduce new services or product offerings and increase revenue from existing services or products, expected expenses including those related to selling and marketing, product development and general and administrative, our beliefs regarding the health and growth of the market for our services and products, expected revenue levels and sources of revenue, expected impact, if any, of legal proceedings, the adequacy of liquidity and capital resources, and expected growth in business. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to: the need for additional capital to fund our operations, which, if obtained, could result in substantial dilution or significant debt service obligations; our ability to control our expenses; potential competition; domestic and international political, or economic instability and developments in international trade relations and tariffs, acts of war (including without limitation the conflict in Ukraine and the Middle East) and/or terrorism; our inability to raise additional capital to fund our operations and business plan; our inability to maintain our listing of our securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market; the outcome of any regulatory or legal proceedings; our liquidity and other risks and uncertainties and other factors discussed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as required by law.

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this reoffer prospectus speaks only as of the date of this reoffer prospectus. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, investments or other strategic transactions we may make. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by any applicable securities laws.

In addition, the Commission maintains a website that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding registrants that file electronically with the Commission. The address of the Commission’s website is www.sec.gov.

We make available free of charge on or through our website at https://authid.ai, our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with or otherwise furnish it to the Commission. Information on our website is not incorporated by reference in this prospectus and is not a part of this prospectus.

We will provide without charge to each person to whom a copy of this prospectus is delivered, upon written or oral request, a copy of any or all of the information that has been incorporated by reference in this prospectus but not delivered with this prospectus (other than an exhibit to these filings, unless we have specifically incorporated that exhibit by reference in this prospectus). Any such request should be addressed to us at: 1580 North Logan Street, Suite 660, Unit 51767, Denver, Colorado 80203 Attention: Investor Relations.

INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN INFORMATION BY REFERENCE

The Commission allows us to “incorporate by reference” the information we have filed with it, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents. The information we incorporate by reference is an important part of this reoffer prospectus, and later information that we file with the Commission will automatically update and supersede this information. We incorporate by reference the documents listed below and any future documents we file with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, subsequent to the date of this prospectus and prior to the termination of the offering (excluding, in either case, information that has been “furnished” but not “filed” for purposes of the Exchange Act).

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties and all other information contained in this reoffer prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties concerning our business and an investment in our common stock discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as well as those discussed in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, together with the other information contained in and incorporated by reference into this reoffer prospectus, before deciding whether to invest in our common stock. Such risks and uncertainties are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business. If any of such risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and future prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Except for limited funds to be received upon exercise of the Stock Options assuming a cash exercise, we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of any of our common stock by the Selling Stockholders. We have agreed to pay all expenses relating to registering the common stock covered by this reoffer prospectus. The Selling Stockholders will pay any brokerage commissions and/or similar charges incurred in connection with the sale of the common stock covered hereby.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

The Selling Stockholders may sell the common shares issued to them from time-to-time at prices and on terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price, or in negotiated transactions.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

All of the shares of our common stock registered for resale under the Registration Statement of which this reoffer prospectus forms a part have been acquired, or will be acquired prior to the offer and sale of such shares, by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to direct grants under the Incentive Plans, pursuant to the exercise of stock options granted under the Incentive Plans or that were issued by the Company outside of an incentive plan by way of Non-Plan Grants. Upon being notified by a Selling Stockholder that a donee, pledgee, transferee, other successor-in-interest intends to sell Shares, we will, to the extent required, promptly file a supplement to this Reoffer Prospectus to name specifically such person as a Selling Stockholder.

The following table sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus, the number of shares beneficially owned by each current Selling Stockholder. The number of shares in the column “Shares Beneficially Owned Prior to the Offering” represents the total number of shares that a Selling Stockholder currently owns or has the right to acquire within sixty (60) days of the date of this prospectus. The number of shares in the column “Shares Which May be Offered” represents all of the shares that a Selling Stockholder may offer under this reoffer prospectus and includes shares issuable upon the exercise of options and vesting under Restricted Stock Award Agreements that have not yet vested and are not included in the column “Beneficially Owned Prior to the Offering.” The table and footnotes assume that the Selling Stockholders will sell all of the shares listed in the column “Shares Which May be Offered.” However, because the Selling Stockholders may sell all or some of their shares under this reoffer prospectus from time to time, or in another permitted manner, we cannot assure you as to the actual number of shares that will be sold by the Selling Stockholders or that will be held by the Selling Stockholders after completion of any sales. We do not know how long the Selling Stockholders will hold the shares before selling them. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Except as described below, none of the Selling Stockholders has held any position or office, or has otherwise had a material relationship, with us or any of our subsidiaries within the past three years other than as a result of the ownership of our common stock or other securities.

As of the date of this prospectus, we have not yet identified which, if any, persons who have received or will in the future receive awards pursuant to the 2024 Plan will be Selling Stockholders. Accordingly, we intend to amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time to update the disclosures set forth in the table, below. Because the we have not yet determined which potential Selling Stockholders will be Selling Stockholders, because Selling Stockholders identified in the table when it is supplemented may sell some or all of the shares owned by them which are included in this prospectus, and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements, or understandings with respect to the sale of any such shares, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares available for resale hereby that will be held by the Selling Stockholders upon termination of the offering made hereby. We have assumed, therefore, for purposes of the following table as it may be amended or supplemented, that the Selling Stockholders will sell all of the shares owned by them which are being offered hereby, but will not sell any other shares of our common stock they presently own. To our knowledge, none of the selling shareholders are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker-dealers.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The purpose of this reoffer prospectus is to allow the Selling Stockholders to offer for sale Shares acquired by the Selling Stockholders after the date of this reoffer prospectus and include 1,397,660 of such Shares acquired pursuant to the Incentive Plans or the Non-Plan Grants.

The decision to sell any shares is within the discretion of the holders thereof, subject generally to our policies affecting the timing and manner of sale of common stock by certain individuals. There can be no assurance that any of the shares will be sold by the Selling Stockholders. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of common stock or interests therein:

If a Selling Stockholder effects such transactions by selling shares of our common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from such Selling Stockholder or commissions from purchasers of our common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved).

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of our common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. At the time a particular offering of the securities is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of securities being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the Selling Stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed, reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.

The Selling Stockholders may choose not to sell any or may choose to sell less than all of our common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this reoffer prospectus forms a part.

We will pay the expenses of the registration of our common stock sold by the Selling Stockholders, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees; provided, however, that the Selling Stockholders will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. As and when we are required to update this reoffer prospectus, we may incur additional expenses.

Once sold under the registration statement, of which this reoffer prospectus forms a part, our common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates. We have notified the Selling Stockholders of the need to deliver a copy of this reoffer prospectus in connection with any sale of the shares.

In order to comply with certain state securities laws, if applicable, the shares may be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In certain states, the shares may not be sold unless the shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from regulation or qualification is available and is complied with. Sales of shares must also be made by the Selling Stockholders in compliance with all other applicable state securities laws and regulations.

In addition to any shares sold hereunder, Selling Stockholders may, at the same time, sell any shares of common stock owned by them in compliance with all of the requirements of Rule 144, regardless of whether such shares are covered by this reoffer prospectus.

Fleming PLLC, has passed upon the validity of the shares of our common stock offered by the Selling Stockholders under this prospectus.

Item 4. Description of Securities.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not Applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a 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 the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person 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 the person’s conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit provided the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the person is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where a present or former director or officer is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify the person against the expenses that such person has actually and reasonably incurred. Our certificate of incorporation provides for indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except for liability for any:

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation includes such a provision.

The right to indemnification provided in our certificate of incorporation includes the right to be paid by us the expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in defending any action referred to above in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law so requires, such an advancement of expenses incurred by a person in the person’s capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by the person, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) will be made only upon delivery to us of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by us.

Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, among other things, that a director who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption may be held liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful action was approved, or dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such action to be entered in the books containing minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time such action occurred or immediately after such absent director receives notice of the unlawful act.

As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, we have entered into indemnity agreements with each of our directors and officers that require us to indemnify such persons against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), witness fees, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts incurred (including expenses of a derivative action) in connection with any action, suit or proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, inquiry hearing or investigation, whether threatened, pending or completed, to which any such person may be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, an officer or an employee of our company, provided that such person’s conduct did not constitute a breach of his or her duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, and was not an act or omission not in good faith or which involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of laws.

We have an insurance policy covering our officers and directors with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or otherwise.

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

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Not applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits.

Item 9. Undertakings.

provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(a)(i) and (1)(a)(ii) 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 Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.
