Company Overview
Trust Stamp was incorporated
under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 11, 2016 as “T Stamp Inc.” T Stamp Inc. and its subsidiaries develop
and market identity authentication software for enterprise and government partners and peer-to-peer markets.
Trust Stamp develops
proprietary artificial intelligence-powered identity and trust solutions at the intersection of biometrics, privacy, and cybersecurity.
These solutions enable organizations to protect themselves and their users while empowering individuals to retain ownership of their
identity data and prevent fraudulent activity using their identity.
Trust Stamp tackles
industry challenges including data protection, regulatory compliance, and financial accessibility, with cutting edge technology including
biometric science, cryptography, and machine learning. Our core technology irreversibly transforms identity information to create tokenized
identifiers that enable accurate authentication without the storing or sharing sensitive data. By retaining the usefulness of biometric-derived
data while minimizing the risk, we allow businesses to adopt biometrics and other anti-fraud initiatives while protecting personal information
from hacks and leaks.
Trust Stamp’s
key sub-markets are identity authentication for account opening, access and fraud detection, tokenized digital identities to facilitate
financial and societal inclusion, and in-community case management software for alternatives to detention and other governmental uses.
As biometric solutions
proliferate, so does the need to protect biometric data. Stored biometric images and templates represent a growing and unquantified financial,
security and PR liability and are the subject of governmental, media and public scrutiny, since biometric data cannot be “changed”
once they are hacked, as they are directly linked to the user’s physical features and/or behaviors. Privacy concerns around biometric
technology have led to close attention from regulators, with multiple jurisdictions placing biometrics in a special or sensitive category
of personal data and demanding much stronger safeguards around collection and safekeeping.
To address this unprecedented
danger and increased cross-industry need to establish trust quickly and securely in virtual environments, Trust Stamp has developed its
Irreversibly Transformed Identity Token, or IT2 TM, solutions. These solutions replace biometric templates with a cryptographic
hash that can never be rebuilt into the original data and cannot be used to identify the subject outside the environment for which it
is designed.
Trust Stamp’s
data transformation and comparison technology is vendor and modality-agnostic, allowing organizations including other biometric services
providers to benefit from our proprietary tokenization process’s increased protection, efficiency, and utility. With online and
offline functionality, Trust Stamp technology is effective in even the most remote locations in the world.
Markets
Trust Stamp has evaluated
the market potential for its services in part by reviewing the following reports, articles, and data sources, none of which were commissioned
by the Company, and none of which are to be incorporated by reference:
Data Security
and Fraud
|
· |
In 2022,
4,145 publicly disclosed breaches exposed over 22 billion records according to the “2021 Year End Report: Data Breach QuickView”
published by Flashpoint. |
|
· |
The cumulative merchant
losses to online payment fraud between 2023 and 2027 will exceed $343 billion globally according to a 2022 report titled “Fighting
Online Payment Fraud in 2022 & Beyond” published by Juniper Research. |
Trust Stamp addresses
this market with biometric identity verification and biometric authentication solutions. These solutions offer Trust Stamp’s proprietary
irreversible identity token to perform biometric-based matching in a secure and tokenized domain, matching tokenized personally identifiable
information while implementing liveness detection.
The Company recently
announced the development of a biometric authentication process for wire transfers and other high value transactions, a product of particular
and immediate relevance to financial institutions concerned about the potential of deep fake attacks on existing authentication systems.
The Company currently has three new banking clients who have indicated willingness to participate in a trial of the product scheduled
for Q3 of 2024.
Biometric authentication
|
· |
By 2027, the value of biometrically
authenticated remote mobile payments will reach $1.2 trillion globally, according to a 2022 report titled “Mobile Payment Biometrics”
published by Juniper Research. |
|
· |
The global biometric system
market size is valued at $41.1 billion per annum in 2023, with a forecast compound growth of 20.4% from 2023 to 2030 with a 2030
revenue forecast of $150.6 billion according to the 2023 report titled “Biometric Technology Market Size, Share &
Trends Analysis Report By Component, By Offering, By Authentication Type, By Application, By End-use, By Region, And Segment Forecasts,
2023 — 2030” published by Grand View Research. |
Trust Stamp addresses
this market through its biometric authentication and liveness detection products. These products offer our IT2 token
to perform biometric matching in a secure and tokenized domain. This permits biometric authentication without the risk of storing pictures
and biometric templates.
In addition to identity
authentication, the Company’s deep learning algorithms can be used to identify specific criteria from facial biometric captures
and it has been developing and testing age-estimation software for the rapidly growing age verification market. The new age estimation
software is expected to go live with a first commercial client in Q3 of 2024.
Financial and
societal inclusion
|
· |
As of 2021, 1.4 billion
people were unbanked according to the “Global Findex Database 2021” published by The World Bank. |
|
· |
131 million small and medium-sized
enterprises in emerging markets lack access to finance, limiting their ability to grow and thrive (UNSGSA Financial Inclusion Webpage,
Accessed March 2023) |
|
· |
The global market for Microfinance
is estimated at $157 Billion in the year 2020, and is projected to reach $342 billion by 2026 according to the 2022 report titled
“Microfinance - Global Market Trajectory & Analytics” published by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. |
Trust Stamp’s
biometric authentication, liveness detection, and information tokenization enable individuals to verify and establish their identities
using data derived from biometrics. While individuals in this market lack traditional means of identity verification, Trust Stamp provides
a means to authenticate identity that preserves an individual’s privacy and control over that identity.
Alternatives to
Detention (“ATD”)
|
· |
The ATD market includes
Federal, State, and Municipal agencies for both criminal justice and immigration purposes. Trust Stamp addresses the ATD market with
applications built on Trust Stamp’s privacy-preserving solutions allowing individuals to comply with ATD requirements using
ethical and humane technology methodologies. Trust Stamp has developed innovative patented technologies for use in the ATD market
encompassing biometrics, geolocation, and tokenization as well as a proprietary, tamper-resistant, battery-free “Tap-In-Band”
that can complement or replace biometric check-in requirements and provide a lower-cost and more humane alternative to traditional
“ankle bracelet” technology. |
Other Markets
The Company is developing
products and working with partners and industry organizations in other sectors that offer significant market opportunities and has entered
into go-to-market or licensing agreements, including global data location services, healthcare, IoT, automotive dealer services, and
computer vision for UAV operations. We anticipate licensing our technology in numerous fields, typically through established partners
who will integrate our technology into field-specific applications.
Principal Products
and Services
Trust Stamp’s
most important technology is the Irreversibly Transformed Identity Token, or IT2 TM, which is
combined with a data architecture that can use one or multiple sources of biometric or other identifying data. Once a “hash translation”
algorithm is created, like-modality hashes are comparable regardless of their origin. The IT2 protects against system
and data redundancy, providing a lifelong “digital-DNA” that can store (or pivot to) any type of KYC or relationship data
with fields individually hashed or (salted and) encrypted, facilitating selective data sharing. Products utilizing the IT2 are
Trust Stamp’s primary products, accounting for the majority of its revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
We adhere to the best
practices outlined in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) and International Organization for Standardization
(“ISO”) frameworks, and our policies and procedures in managing personally identifiable information (“PII”) comply
with General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) requirements wherever such requirements are applicable.
Key Customers
The Company’s
initial business consisted of developing proprietary privacy-first identity solutions and implementing them through custom applications
built and maintained for a few key customers. In 2022, the Company added to its product offerings a modular and highly scalable SaaS
model with low-code or no implementation (“the Orchestration Layer”). Although the Company remains open to significant opportunities
to deliver custom solutions, sales of Orchestration Layer products are the primary focus of the Company’s sales and development
initiatives. This strategic pivot in the Company’s go-to-market approach negatively impacted revenue in 2023 but we believe it
will substantially increase potential revenue.
Historically, the Company
generated most of its income through long-term partnerships, comprising a relationship with an S&P 500 bank with services provided
pursuant to a Master Software Agreement entered into in 2017, together with a relationship with Mastercard International (“Mastercard”)
with services provided under the terms of a five-year technology services agreement entered into in March 2019 and extended in March
2024 to April 2027 (the "TSA”). Both of those relationships remain strong, and the Company anticipates future revenue growth
from the two relationships.
Under the TSA, IT2
TM technology is being implemented by Mastercard for Humanitarian & Development purposes as a core element of its
Community Pass and Inclusive Identity offerings. Use cases include financial services for individuals and businesses and empowering people
and communities to meet basic needs, such as nutritious food, clean water, housing, education, and healthcare. The Company is paid to
develop and host software solutions utilizing the IT2 and to support Mastercard’s implementations. In addition,
the Company is paid on a “per user per year” basis for all transactions utilizing its technology. In December of 2022,
the Company entered into a modification of the agreed pricing schedule with Mastercard to move from a per-use to a per-user-year model
to broaden the range of potential use cases. The TSA may be terminated by either party in the event of a material breach by the other
party that remains uncured within thirty days after notice is received of such a breach. Either party may terminate the TSA if the other
party becomes, including, but not limited to, insolvent, subject to bankruptcy, dissolved or liquidated. Unless the TSA is terminated,
the TSA will automatically renew for additional one year-periods in perpetuity unless either party provides ninety days’ written
notice of intent not to renew. To date, the Company has received guaranteed minimum annual payments on account of usage. According to
the October 2023 interview of Mastercard Executive Vice President and Founder of the Community Pass from the article titled “Mastercard’s
Community Pass founder says digital ID platform improving lives, digital inclusion” published by Biometric Update, Mastercard’s
Community Pass program currently serves approximately 3.5 million users and is targeting 30 million users by 2027. Based upon information
provided to us by Mastercard we anticipate user-based revenue starting in 2024 and growing year-on-year thereafter.
In 2022, the Company
expanded its key customer base to include a relationship with Fidelity Information Services, LLC (“FIS”) which focused on
implementing our Orchestration Layer and underlying technologies in FIS’ Global KYC product offering.
The Orchestration Layer
is a low-code platform that is designed to be a one-stop shop for Trust Stamp services and provides easy integration to our products,
which are chargeable on a per-user basis. The Orchestration Layer utilizes the Company’s next-generation identity package, offering
rapid deployment across devices and platforms, with custom workflows that seamlessly orchestrate trust across the identity lifecycle
for a consistent user experience in processes for onboarding and KYC/AML, multi-factor authentication, account recovery, fraud prevention,
compliance, and more. The Orchestration Layer facilitates no-code and low-code implementations of the Company’s technology making
adoption and updating faster and more cost-effective for a broader range of potential customers.
In
the third quarter of 2022, the Company acquired its first 2 new customers on the Orchestration Layer through its partnership with FIS,
and in the fourth quarter of 2022, 4 additional FIS customers onboarded. As of June 30, 2024, a total of 54 financial institutions
with over $345 billion in assets have been onboarded via FIS, bringing the total number of (FIS and non-FIS) customers either fully implemented
or are currently implementing the Orchestration Layer to 62. The first (non-FIS) client onboarded to the Orchestration Layer in the third
quarter of 2022 has generated $343 thousand of revenue for the Company to date including $110 thousand during the six months ended
June 30, 2024. Although each institution onboarded via FIS pays a small onboarding fee, given the typical time a financial institution
takes to test, implement, and roll out any new technology, the Company does not anticipate significant revenue from the new FIS customers
until late 2024.
Reinforced by the product-market
fit indicated by the FIS rollout, the Company is building an internal direct sales force to offer the Orchestration Layer to non-FIS
institutions. This expansion into direct sales is a work-in-progress and the Company is dynamically adapting its approach based on progress
towards acceptable success metrics.
In Management's opinion,
while the unanticipated loss of any one of our current customers, including our channel partnership with FIS, could adversely affect
the Company’s financial position, it would not prevent us from continuing our operations.
Recent Developments
Warrant Exercise
Agreement
On September 3,
2024, concurrently with this offering, the Company entered into a warrant exercise agreement (the “WEA”) with the same institutional
investor, pursuant to which the institutional investor agreed to exercise (the “Exercise”) (i) all of the warrants issued
to the institutional investor on June 5, 2023, as subsequently amended on December 20, 2023, which are exercisable for 1,173,030 shares
of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) with a current exercise price
of $1.34 per share (the “June 2023 Warrants”) and (ii) all of the warrants issued to the institutional investor on December
20, 2023, which are exercisable for 3,600,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, with a current exercise price of $1.34 per share (the “December
2023 Warrants” and collectively with the June 2023, the “Existing Warrants”). In consideration for the immediate
exercise of 4,773,030 of the Existing Warrants for cash, the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price of all of the Existing Warrants,
including any unexercised portion thereof, to $0.3223 per share, which is equal to the most recent closing price of the Company’s
Class A Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market prior to the execution of the WEA. In addition, in consideration for such Exercise, the
institutional investor received new unregistered warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 9,546,060 shares of Class A Common Stock,
equal to 200% of the shares of Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the Exercise, with an exercise price of $0.3223 per share
(the “New Warrants”) in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities
Act”).
The New Warrants will
have substantially the same terms as the June 2023 Warrants, except that the New Warrants will not become exercisable until such time
as the Company has received stockholder approval with respect to the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the New Warrants
and will remain exercisable for five (5) years from the stockholder approval. The Company agreed to hold a stockholder meeting for this
purpose no later than the 90th calendar date following the entry into the WEA. The Company agreed to file a resale registration statement
on Form S-3 within 30 days of September 3, 2024 with respect to the New Warrants and the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the New Warrants. The Existing Warrants and the New Warrants each include a beneficial ownership limitation that prevents
the institutional investor from owning more than 9.99%, with respect to the Existing Warrants, and 4.99%, with respect to the New Warrants,
of the Company’s outstanding Class A Common Stock at any time.
The gross proceeds to
the Company from the Exercise was approximately $1.538 million, prior to deducting warrant inducement agent fees and estimated offering
expenses. The Company intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds for business growth, working capital and general corporate purposes.
Termination
and Release Agreement
On September 3, 2024,
the Company also entered into a Termination and Release Agreement (the “Termination and Release Agreement”) under which the
transaction entered into between the Company and HCM Management Foundation (“HCM”) as described in the Form 8-K filed by
the Company on April 4, 2024 is terminated none of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Warrant A, Warrant B, or Warrant C (the “Transaction
Documents”) will have any further force or effect. In consideration of the termination of the Transaction Documents, the Company
will utilize proceeds from this offering and the Exercise to provide payment of $1.65 million to HCM or its affiliate.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves a high degree
of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described under
the heading “Risk Factors” contained in this prospectus supplement and discussed under the section entitled “Risk Factors”
contained in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement in their entirety,
together with other information in this prospectus supplement, the documents incorporated by reference, the accompanying prospectus and
any free writing prospectuses before making an investment decision. The risks described in these documents are not the only ones we face,
but those that we consider to be material. There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or
other factors that could have material adverse effects on our future results. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator
of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of these risks
actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could be seriously harmed. This could cause the
trading price of our securities to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Please also carefully read the section
below entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership
of Our Securities
The market price for our Class A Common
Stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float, and lack
of profits, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price.
The market for our Class A Common Stock is characterized
by significant price volatility when compared to the shares of larger, more established companies that have large public floats, and
we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than the shares of such larger, more established companies for the indefinite
future, although such fluctuations may not reflect a material change to our financial condition or operations during any such period.
Such volatility can be attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our Class A Common Stock is, compared to the shares
of such larger, more established companies, sporadically and thinly traded. The price for our Class A Common Stock could, for example,
decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand. Secondly, we
are a speculative or “risky” investment due to our lack of profits to date. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more
risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress,
be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a
larger, more established company that has a large public float. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market
price of our Class A Common Stock regardless of our operating performance.
In addition to being highly volatile, our Class
A Common Stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are beyond our control, including, but not
limited to:
● |
variations in our revenues and operating expenses; |
|
|
● |
actual or anticipated changes in the estimates of our operating results
or changes in stock market analyst recommendations regarding our Class A Common Stock, other comparable companies or our industry
generally; |
|
|
● |
market conditions in our industry, the industries of our customers
and the economy as a whole; |
|
|
● |
actual or expected changes in our growth rates or our competitors’
growth rates; |
|
|
● |
developments in the financial markets and worldwide or regional economies; |
|
|
● |
announcements of innovations or new products or services by us or our
competitors; |
|
|
● |
announcements by the government relating to regulations that govern
our industry; |
|
|
● |
sales of our Class A Common Stock or other securities in the open market; |
|
|
● |
changes in the market valuations of other comparable companies; and |
|
|
● |
other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control, including
those resulting from such events, or the prospect of such events, including war, terrorism and other international conflicts, public
health issues including health epidemics or pandemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and natural disasters such as fire, hurricanes,
earthquakes, tornados or other adverse weather and climate conditions, whether occurring in the United States or elsewhere, could
disrupt our operations, disrupt the operations of our suppliers or result in political or economic instability. |
In addition, if the market for tech stocks or
the stock market in general experiences loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our Class A Common Stock could decline for
reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition or operating results. The trading price of our shares might also decline in reaction
to events that affect other companies in our industry, even if these events do not directly affect us. Each of these factors, among others,
could harm the value of our Class A Common Stock. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market, securities class-action
litigation has often been instituted against companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs
and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results
and financial condition.
We may fail to comply with certain continued
listing requirements on Nasdaq, which could result in our Class A Common Stock being delisted from Nasdaq.
The Company has previously received notifications
from Nasdaq that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing rules, specifically with respect to the minimum stockholders'
equity and closing bid price minimum requirements on Nasdaq. While we have subsequently remedied these deficiencies, there is no guarantee
that we will continue to be in compliance with all Nasdaq listing rules. In the event that our Class A Common Stock is delisted from
Nasdaq, as a result of our failure to comply with either the stockholders' equity requirement, or due to our failure to continue to comply
with any other requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq, and our Class A Common Stock is not eligible for listing on another exchange,
trading in the shares of our Class A Common Stock could be conducted in the over-the-counter market or on an electronic bulletin board
established for unlisted securities such as the Pink Sheets or the OTC Bulletin Board. In such event, it could become more difficult
to dispose of, or obtain accurate price quotations for, our Class A Common Stock, and it would likely be more difficult to obtain coverage
by securities analysts and the news media, which could cause the price of our Class A Common Stock to decline further. Also, it may be
difficult for us to raise additional capital if we are not listed on a national exchange.
There is no public market for the Pre-Funded
Warrants being offered in this offering or the Private Placement Warrants being sold in a private offering concurrently with this offering.
There is no established public trading market
for the Pre-Funded Warrants being offered in this offering or the Private Placement Warrants being offered in a private placement concurrently
with this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the Pre-Funded Warrants
or Private Placement Warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system, including The Nasdaq
Capital Market. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the Pre-Funded Warrants and Private Placement Warrants will be limited.
The Pre-Funded Warrants purchased in this
offering and the Private Placement Warrants being sold in a private offering concurrently with this offering do not entitle the holder
to any rights as Class A Common Stockholders until the holder exercises the Pre-Funded Warrant or Private Placement Warrants for shares
of our Class A Common Stock.
Until you acquire shares of our Class A Common
Stock upon exercise of your Pre-Funded Warrants purchased in this offering or the Private Placement Warrants being offered in a private
placement concurrently with this offering, such Pre-Funded Warrants or Private Placement Warrants will not provide you any rights as
a Class A Common Stockholder, except as set forth therein. Upon exercise of your Pre-Funded Warrants purchased in this offering or the
Private Placement Warrants being offered in a private placement concurrently with this offering, you will be entitled to exercise the
rights of a Class A Common Stockholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs on or after the exercise date.
We will have broad discretion as to the
use of the proceeds from this offering, and we may not use the proceeds effectively.
The Company will use a substantial portion of
the net proceeds payment to fund the termination of its transaction documents with HCM Management Foundation. We intend to use the remaining
net proceeds from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. We have considerable discretion in the application
of the net proceeds of this offering. You will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether such
proceeds are being used in a manner agreeable to you. You must rely on our judgment regarding the application of the net proceeds of
this offering, which may be used for corporate purposes that do not improve our profitability or increase the price of our shares of
Class A Common Stock. Such proceeds may also be placed in investments that do not produce income or that lose value. The failure to use
such funds by us effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow.
All, or a substantial portion of the proceeds
from this offering will be used to satisfy obligations under the Termination and Release Agreement with HCM, which may limit the Company’s
ability to use the funds for other operational needs.
The Company expects to raise approximately
$2 million from the sale (and exercise) of the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Exercise (pursuant to the
WEA). Pursuant to the Termination and Release Agreement with HCM, the Company will pay $1.65 million
of these proceeds to HCM. As a result, all or a significant
portion of the funds raised in this offering (up to a maximum of $461,662.20) will not be available for the Company’s
operational or strategic initiatives, such as product development, sales and marketing activities, working capital, or other
corporate purposes. This allocation of funds could limit the Company’s flexibility in managing its business operations and
executing its growth strategy, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and
results of operations. Additionally, the Company may need to seek additional financing to fund its operations and strategic
initiatives, which may not be available on favorable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient additional
financing, it may be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate certain business activities or strategic initiatives, which could
adversely impact the Company’s competitive position and future prospects.
You will experience immediate and substantial
dilution in the net tangible book value per share of our Class A Common Stock sold in this offering and may experience additional dilution
of your investment in the future.
Since
the price per share of the Pre-Funded Warrants offered is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our
Class A Common Stock, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the Class A Common Stock
underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants you purchase in this offering. Based on an offering price $0.3213 per Pre-Funded
Warrant, if you purchase Pre-Funded Warrants in this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of $0.3288
per share with respect to the net tangible book value of our
Class A Common Stock as of June 30, 2024 on a pro forma,
as adjusted basis. Furthermore, if other outstanding warrants of the Company are exercised, as applicable, you could experience
further dilution. See the section titled “Dilution” below for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur
if you purchase securities in this offering. Further, because we may need to raise additional capital to fund our anticipated level
of operations, we may in the future sell substantial amounts of common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for
common stock. These future issuances of equity or equity-linked securities, together with the exercise or conversion of outstanding
options, warrants, notes and/or any additional shares issued in connection with acquisitions, if any, will likely result in further
dilution to investors.
You may experience future dilution as a
result of future equity offerings and other issuances of our common stock or other securities. In addition, this offering and future
equity offerings and other issuances of our common stock or other securities may adversely affect our common stock price.
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 in this offering. We may not be able to sell shares or other securities in any
other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by the investor in this offering, and investors
purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which
we sell additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible into common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower
than the price per share in this offering. You will incur dilution upon exercise of any outstanding stock options, warrants or upon the
issuance of shares of common stock under our stock incentive programs. In addition, the sale of shares 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 common stock
or the availability of those shares for sale will have on the market price of our common stock.
Future sales,
or the perception of future sales, by us or our stockholders in the public market could cause the market price of our Class A Common
Stock to decline, and any issuance of additional Class A Common Stock, or securities convertible into Class A Common Stock, could dilute
Class A Common Stockholders. We may issue additional Class A Common Stock, or securities convertible into Class A Common Stock, pursuant
to our shelf registration statement (including our at-the-market facility), upon exercise of outstanding warrants, for additional financing
purposes, in connection with strategic transactions such as acquisitions or collaboration agreements, or otherwise, any of which could
result in dilution to existing stockholders.
The sale of shares of
our Class A Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price
of shares of our Class A Common Stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult
for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.
Shares of our Class
A Common Stock held by certain other of our stockholders are eligible for resale, subject to volume, manner of sale and other limitations
under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”). By exercising their registration rights and selling a large number
of shares, these stockholders could cause the prevailing market price of our Class A Common Stock to decline.
As restrictions on resale
end or if these stockholders exercise their registration rights, the market price of shares of our Class A Common Stock could drop significantly
if the holders of these shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. These factors could also make it more
difficult for us to raise additional funds through future offerings of shares of our Class A Common Stock or other securities.
In addition, the shares
of our Class A Common Stock reserved for future issuance under our equity incentive plans will become eligible for sale in the public
market once those shares are issued, subject to provisions relating to various vesting agreements, lock-up agreements and, in some cases,
limitations on volume and manner of sale applicable to affiliates under Rule 144, as applicable. We have filed registration statements
on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register shares of our Class A Common Stock issuable pursuant to our equity incentive plan and
our employee stock purchase plan, and may in the future file one or more additional registration statements on Form S-8 for the same
or similar purposes. Any such Form S-8 registration statements will automatically become effective upon filing. Accordingly, shares registered
under such registration statements will be available for sale in the open market.
Substantial future sales of shares of our
Class A Common Stock could cause the market price of our Class A Common Stock to decline.
We expect that significant additional capital
will be needed in the near future to continue our planned operations. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Class A Common Stock
in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our Class A Common Stock and
could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that
such sales may have on the prevailing market price of our shares.
We have financed our operations, and we expect
to continue to finance our operations, acquisitions, if any, and the development of strategic relationships by issuing equity, warrants
and/or convertible securities, which could significantly reduce the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. Further, any additional
financing that we secure may require the granting of rights, preferences or privileges senior to, or pari passu with, those of our Class
A Common Stock. Additionally, we may finance strategic alliances and/or acquisitions by issuing our equity or equity-linked securities,
which may result in additional dilution. Any issuances by us of equity securities may be at or below the prevailing market price of our
Class A Common Stock and in any event may have a dilutive impact on your ownership interest, which could cause the market price of our
Class A Common Stock to decline. We may also raise additional funds through the incurrence of debt or the issuance or sale of other securities
or instruments senior to our shares of Class A Common Stock. The holders of any securities or instruments we may issue may have rights
superior to the rights of our holders of our Class A Common Stock. If we experience dilution from issuance of additional securities and
we grant superior rights to new securities over Class A Common Stockholders, it may negatively impact the trading price of our shares
of Class A Common Stock.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus supplement, and the information
incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never materialize
or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially and adversely from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements relating to our outlook or expectations for earnings,
revenues, expenses, asset quality or other future financial or business performance, strategies, expectations or business prospects,
or the impact of legal, regulatory or supervisory matters on our business, results of operations, or financial condition. Specifically,
forward-looking statements may include statements relating to our future business prospects, revenue, income, and financial condition.
Forward-looking statements can be identified
by the use of words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,”
“expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target,” or similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements reflect our judgment based on currently available information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
Important factors could cause actual results
to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to:
|
· |
adverse economic conditions; |
|
· |
general decreases in demand for our products and services; |
|
· |
changes in timing of introducing new products into the market; |
|
· |
intense competition (including entry of new competitors), including
among competitors with substantially greater resources than us; |
|
· |
revenues and net income lower than anticipated; |
|
· |
becoming delisted from Nasdaq; |
|
· |
the possible fluctuation and volatility of operating results and financial
conditions; |
|
· |
the impact of legal, regulatory, or supervisory matters on our business,
results of operations, or financial condition; |
|
· |
inability to carry out our marketing and sales plans; and |
|
· |
the loss of key employees and executives. |
Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions
that we have made in light of our industry experience and our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments
and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. You are cautioned that these statements are not guarantees of performance
or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (many of which are beyond our control) and assumptions. Although we believe that these
forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual operating
and financial performance and cause our performance to differ materially from the performance anticipated in the forward-looking statements.
We discuss in greater detail many of these risks in this prospectus supplement, in any free writing prospectuses we may authorize for
use in connection with a specific offering, in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, as well as any amendments thereto, and in
our subsequent filings with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement in their entirety.
Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation
to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or future events or developments. Thus, you should not
assume that actual events are bearing out as expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. You should read this prospectus
supplement, the accompanying prospectus, together with the documents we have filed with the SEC that are incorporated by reference and
any free writing prospectus that we may authorize for use in connection with this offering completely and with the understanding that
our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of the forward-looking statements in the foregoing
documents by these cautionary statements.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We
estimate that the net combined proceeds from this offering and the Exercise will be approximately $1.8 million, after deducting the
Placement Agent fees, the estimated offering expenses payable by us, and assuming the exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase
1,432,399 shares of our Class A Common Stock at $0.001 per share. This estimate excludes
the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants sold in
the concurrent private placement. We cannot predict when or if these Pre-Funded Warrants or Private Placement
Warrants will be exercised. It is possible that these Pre-Funded Warrants
and Private Placement Warrants may never be
exercised.
As
of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot predict with certainty all the uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the
completion of this offering. The Company will use $1.65 million of the net proceeds payment to fund the termination of its transaction
documents with HCM Management Foundation. We intend to use the remaining portion of the net proceeds of this offering for working capital, capital
expenditures, business and product development, potential acquisitions, retirement of debt and other general corporate purposes. The
timing and amount of our actual expenditures will be based on many factors; therefore, unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement,
our management will have broad discretion to allocate the net proceeds of our offerings. The specific allocations of the proceeds we
receive from our sale of our securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

DILUTION
If you invest in this
offering, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per Pre-Funded Warrant
and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering. We calculate net tangible book value per share
by dividing the net tangible book value, which is tangible assets less total liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares of our Class
A Common Stock. Dilution represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of shares in this offering and the
pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our Class A Common Stock immediately after giving effect to this offering.
Our pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2024, was approximately $(2,267,996) or $(0.1339) per share of Class A Common Stock.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
THAT WE ARE OFFERING
We are offering Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase
1,432,399 shares of our Class A Common Stock (and the shares of Class A Common Stock underlying such Pre-Funded Warrants) directly to
a certain institutional investor pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The offering price of the Pre-Funded
Warrants is $0.3213.
Description of Pre-Funded Warrants
The following summary of certain terms and provisions
of the Pre-Funded Warrants that are being offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by the provisions
of, the form of the Pre-Funded Warrant filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC
and incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus form
a part. You should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of Pre-Funded Warrant for a complete description of the terms
and conditions of the Pre-Funded Warrants.
The term “pre-funded” refers to the
fact that the purchase price of our Class A Common Stock in this offering includes almost the entire exercise price that will be paid
under the Pre-Funded Warrants, except for a nominal remaining exercise price of $0.001. The purpose of the Pre-Funded Warrants is to
enable the investors that may have restrictions on their ability to beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, upon election of the holder,
9.99%) of our outstanding Class A Common Stock following the consummation of this offering the opportunity to invest capital into our
Company without triggering their ownership restrictions, by receiving Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu of our Class A Common Stock which would
result in such ownership of more than 4.99% (or 9.99%), and receive the ability to exercise their option to purchase the shares underlying
the Pre-Funded Warrants at such nominal price at a later date.
Duration and Exercise Price. The Pre-Funded
Warrants offered hereby will entitle the holder thereof to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,432,399 shares of our Class A Common Stock
at an initial exercise price of $0.001 per share, commencing on the date of issuance, and may be exercised at any time until the Pre-Funded
Warrants are exercised in full. If at any time after the issuance date of the Pre-Funded Warrants there is no effective registration
statement registering the shares issuable upon the Pre-Funded Warrants, then in lieu of making
the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon the exercise of a Pre-Funded Warrant in payment of the aggregate exercise
price, the holder may, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise the Pre-Funded Warrant through a cashless exercise, in which case the
holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of our Class A Common Stock determined
according to the formula set forth in the Pre-Funded Warrant. If we do not issue the shares in a timely fashion, the Pre-Funded Warrant
contains certain damages provisions. No fractional common shares will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Pre-Funded Warrant.
The Pre-Funded Warrants will be issued separately from the Class A Common Stock and may be transferred separately immediately thereafter. The
exercise price and number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event
of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our common stock and the exercise price.
Exercise Limitation. The holder will not
have the right to exercise any portion of the Pre-Funded Warrant if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own
in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as
such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants. However, the holder may increase or
decrease such percentage, provided that any increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such election.
Transferability. Subject to applicable
laws, the Pre-Funded Warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent.
Exchange Listing. There is no established
trading market for the Pre-Funded Warrants and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply for the listing
of the Pre-Funded Warrants on any national securities exchange or other trading market. Without an active trading market, the liquidity
of the Pre-Funded Warrants will be limited.
Fundamental Transactions. If a fundamental
transaction occurs, then the successor entity will succeed to, and be substituted for us, and may exercise every right and power that
we may exercise and will assume all of our obligations under the Pre-Funded Warrants with the same effect as if such successor entity
had been named in the Pre-Funded Warrant itself. If holders of our Class A Common Stock are given a choice as to the securities, cash
or property to be received in a fundamental transaction, then the holder shall be given the same choice as to the consideration it receives
upon any exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrant following such fundamental transaction.
Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise
provided in the Pre-Funded Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our Class A Common Stock, the holder of
a Pre-Funded Warrants does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our Class A Common Stock, including any voting rights, until
the holder exercises the Pre-Funded Warrant.
Shareholder Approval
.. Pursuant to the SPA, the Company agreed to hold an annual or special meeting of its stockholders within sixty (60) days following
the closing date of the SPA (which will occur on September 4, 2024) for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval of the SPA and
transactions contemplated thereunder as may be required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Shareholder
Approval”). If the Company does not obtain Shareholder Approval at the first meeting, the Company must call a meeting every
ninety (90) days thereafter to seek Shareholder Approval until the earlier of the date on which Shareholder Approval is obtained or the
securities issued pursuant to the SPA (including the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued in the SPA) are no longer outstanding.
PRIVATE PLACEMENT TRANSACTION
Concurrently with the sale of Pre-Funded Warrants
in this offering, we will issue and sell to the investors in this offering the Private Placement Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate
of 2,864,797 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price equal to $0.3223 per share.
The Private Placement Warrants and the shares
of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act are not being offered
pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and are being offered pursuant to an exemption provided in Section
4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder. Accordingly, purchasers may only sell the Private Placement
Warrants and the shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of those shares, an exemption under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or another
applicable exemption under the Securities Act.
The following sets forth the material terms of
the Private Placement Warrants.
Exercisability. The Private Placement
Warrants will be immediately exercisable upon the date that Shareholder Approval is obtained
and will expire five years from the date that Shareholder Approval is obtained. The Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable, at
the option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice and, at any time a registration statement
registering the issuance of the shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants under the Securities Act is
effective and available for the issuance of such shares, or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is available for
the issuance of such shares, by payment in full in immediately available funds for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock purchased
upon such exercise. If a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Private
Placement Warrants under the Securities Act is not effective or available, the holder may, in its sole discretion, beginning six months
from the issuance date, elect to exercise the Private Placement Warrants through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would
receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of Class A Common Stock determined according to the formula set forth in the warrant.
Exercise Limitation. A holder will not
have the right to exercise any portion of the Private Placement Warrants if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially
own in excess of 4.99% (or, upon election of the holder, 9.99%) of the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately
after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Private Placement
Warrants. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage, provided that any increase will not be effective until the 61st
day after such election.
Exercise Price Adjustment. The exercise
price of the Private Placement Warrants is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions,
stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our Class A Common Stock and also upon any distributions
of assets, including cash, stock or other property to our stockholders.
Exchange Listing. There is no established
trading market for the Private Placement Warrants and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply for
the listing of the Private Placement Warrants on any national securities exchange or other trading market.
Fundamental Transactions. If a fundamental
transaction occurs, then the successor entity will succeed to, and be substituted for us, and may exercise every right and power that
we may exercise and will assume all of our obligations under the Private Placement Warrants with the same effect as if such successor
entity had been named in the warrant itself. If holders of our Class A Common Stock are given a choice as to the securities, cash or
property to be received in a fundamental transaction, then the holder shall be given the same choice as to the consideration it receives
upon any exercise of the Private Placement Warrants following such fundamental transaction. Additionally, as more fully described in
the Private Placement Warrants, in the event of certain fundamental transactions, the holders of those warrants will be entitled to receive
consideration in an amount equal to the Black Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of the warrants on the date of consummation
of such transaction.
Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise
provided in the Private Placement Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our Class A Common Stock, the holder
of Private Placement Warrants will not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our Class A Common Stock, including any voting rights,
until the holder exercises the warrant.
Resale/Registration
Rights. We are required within 30 days of the execution of the SPA to file a registration statement on Form S-1 (or other appropriate
form if the Company is not then S-1 eligible) providing for the resale of the shares of Class A Common Stock issued and issuable upon
the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants. We are required to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration to
become effective within 91 days of the closing of this offering and to keep such registration statement effective at all times until
no investor owns any Private Placement Warrants or shares issuable upon exercise thereof.
Pursuant to the terms
of the SPA, from September 3, 2024 until 45 days thereafter, subject to certain exceptions, we may not issue, enter into any agreement
to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of common stock or common stock equivalents, or file any registration
statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, other than a prospectus supplement for the Shelf Registration Statement. In addition,
from September 3, 2024 until 45 days thereafter, we are prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance
of common stock or common stock equivalents involving a variable rate transaction (as defined in the SPA).
Shareholder Approval . Pursuant to the SPA, the Company agreed
to hold an annual or special meeting of its stockholders within sixty (60) days following the closing date of the SPA (which will occur
on September 4, 2024) for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval of the SPA and transactions contemplated thereunder as may be
required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Shareholder Approval”). If the Company
does not obtain Shareholder Approval at the first meeting, the Company must call a meeting every ninety (90) days thereafter to seek
Shareholder Approval until the earlier of the date on which Shareholder Approval is obtained or the securities issued pursuant to the
SPA (including the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued in the SPA) are no longer outstanding.

months after the closing of the offering with any of the investors who were introduced to the Company by the Placement Agent, or contacted

offering with respect to the funds received by the Company from the PA Investors.

Company Overview
Trust Stamp develops proprietary artificial intelligence-powered
identity and trust solutions at the intersection of biometrics, privacy, and cybersecurity, that enable organizations to protect themselves
and their users, while empowering individuals to retain ownership of their identity data and prevent fraudulent activity using their
identity. Trust Stamp tackles industry challenges including data protection, regulatory compliance, and financial accessibility, with
cutting edge technology including biometric science, cryptography, and machine learning. Our core technology irreversibly transforms
identity information to create tokenized identifiers that enable accurate authentication without the need to store or share sensitive
data. By retaining the usefulness of biometric-derived data while minimizing the risk, we allow businesses to adopt biometrics and other
anti-fraud initiatives while protecting personal information from hacks and leaks.
Trust Stamp’s key sub-markets are identity
authentication for the purpose of account opening, access and fraud detection, the creation of tokenized digital identities to facilitate
financial and societal inclusion, and in-community case management software for alternatives to detention and other governmental uses.
As biometric solutions proliferate, so does the
need to protect biometric data. Stored biometric images and templates represent a growing and unquantified financial, security and PR
liability and are the subject of governmental, media and public scrutiny, since biometric data cannot be “changed” once they
are hacked, as they are directly linked to the user’s physical features and/or behaviors. Privacy concerns around biometric technology
have led to close attention from regulators, with multiple jurisdictions placing biometrics in a special or sensitive category of personal
data and demanding much stronger safeguards around collection and safekeeping.
To address this unprecedented danger and increased
cross-industry need to establish trust quickly and securely in virtual environments, Trust Stamp has developed its Irreversibly Transformed
Identity Token, or IT2TM, solutions, which replace biometric templates with a cryptographic hash that can never be rebuilt
into the original data and cannot be used to identify the subject outside the environment for which it is designed.
Trust Stamp’s data transformation and comparison
technology is vendor and modality agnostic, allowing organizations including other biometric services providers to benefit from the increased
protection, efficiency, and utility of our proprietary tokenization process. With online and offline functionality, Trust Stamp technology
is effective in even the most remote locations in the world.
Trust Stamp also offers end-to-end solutions
for multi-factor biometric authentication for account access and recovery, KYC/AML compliance, customer onboarding, and more, which allow
organizations to approve more genuine users, keep bad actors from accessing systems and services, and retain existing users with a superior
user experience.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves a high degree
of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described under
the heading “Risk Factors” contained in the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, and
discussed under the section entitled “Risk Factors” contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as any
amendments thereto reflected in subsequent filings with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus in their entirety,
together with other information in this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference and any free writing prospectus that we may
authorize for use in connection with this offering. The risks described in these documents are not the only ones we face, but those that
we consider to be material. There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors
that could have material adverse effects on our future results. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future
performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of these risks actually
occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading
price of our securities to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Please also carefully read the section below
entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus, each prospectus supplement and
the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus and each prospectus supplement contain “forward-looking statements”
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions
that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially and adversely from those expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements relating to our
outlook or expectations for earnings, revenues, expenses, asset quality or other future financial or business performance, strategies,
expectations or business prospects, or the impact of legal, regulatory or supervisory matters on our business, results of operations,
or financial condition. Specifically, forward-looking statements may include statements relating to our future business prospects, revenue,
income, and financial condition.
Forward-looking statements can be identified
by the use of words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,”
“expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target,” or similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements reflect our judgment based on currently available information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
Important factors could cause actual results
to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to:
| · | adverse
economic conditions; |
| · | general
decreases in demand for our products and services; |
| · | changes
in timing of introducing new products into the market; |
| · | intense
competition (including entry of new competitors), including among competitors with substantially
greater resources than us; |
| · | revenues
and net income lower than anticipated; |
| · | becoming
delisted from Nasdaq; |
| · | the
possible fluctuation and volatility of operating results and financial conditions; |
| · | the
impact of legal, regulatory, or supervisory matters on our business, results of operations,
or financial condition; |
| · | inability
to carry out our marketing and sales plans; and |
| · | the
loss of key employees and executives. |
Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions
that we have made in light of our industry experience and our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments
and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. You are cautioned that these statements are not guarantees of performance
or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (many of which are beyond our control) and assumptions. Although we believe that these
forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual operating
and financial performance and cause our performance to differ materially from the performance anticipated in the forward-looking statements.
We discuss in greater detail many of these risks in the applicable prospectus supplement, in any free writing prospectuses we may authorize
for use in connection with a specific offering, in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, as well as any amendments thereto, and
in our subsequent filings with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus in their entirety.
Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation
to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or future events or developments. Thus, you should not
assume that actual events are bearing out as expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. You should read this prospectus,
any applicable prospectus supplement, together with the documents we have filed with the SEC that are incorporated by reference and any
free writing prospectus that we may authorize for use in connection with this offering completely and with the understanding that our
actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of the forward-looking statements in the foregoing
documents by these cautionary statements.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable
prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from our sale of securities offered by this prospectus for general corporate
purposes, which includes working capital, business and product development, potential acquisitions, retirement of debt and other business
opportunities. The timing and amount of our actual expenditures will be based on many factors; therefore, unless otherwise indicated
in the prospectus supplement, our management will have broad discretion to allocate the net proceeds of our offerings. The specific allocations
of the proceeds we receive from our sale of our securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

“Where You Can Find Additional Information.”
Common Stock
Pursuant to the Company’s A&R Certificate
of Incorporation, the Board of Directors of the Company has the right to designate shares of the Company’s Common Stock as either
Class A or Class B Common Stock. As of the date of this prospectus, all shares of Common Stock of the Company have been designated
as Class A Common Stock, and there are no issued (or designated) shares of Class B Common Stock. The rights and preferences
of each of the Class A and Class B classes of Common Stock are summarized below.
Class A Common Stock
Voting Rights
Holders of shares of Class A Common Stock
are entitled to one vote for each on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders, including the election of directors.
The holders of our Common Stock (Class A
and Class B Common Stock) are entitled to elect four (4) directors of the corporation to our Board of Directors, so long as
25% of the Company’s initially issued shares of Preferred Stock remains outstanding. As of the date of this prospectus, no shares
of the Company’s Preferred Stock are outstanding– and as such, holders of Common Stock are currently not entitled to this
specific voting right.
Dividend Rights
Holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled
to receive dividends, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of legally available funds as detailed in our
A&R Certificate of Incorporation. The Company has never declared or paid cash dividends on any of its capital stock and currently
does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Liquidation Rights
In the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally
available for distribution to shareholders after the payment of all debts and other liabilities of the Company.
Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock
are entitled to a liquidation preference that is senior to holders of each class of the Common Stock, and therefore would receive dividends
and liquidation assets prior to the holders of the Common Stock.
Exchange Rights
A holder of shares of Class A Common Stock
shares that is a bank, savings association, or a holding company (or an affiliate thereof) may at any time choose to exchange all or
any portion of shares of Class A Common Stock it holds for shares of Class B Common Stock. In the event of such an election,
each Class A share for which the holder makes such election shall be exchanged for a Class B share on a one-for-one basis without
the payment of any additional consideration. In the event of such an election, the Company will take all necessary corporate actions
to effect such exchange, the holder will surrender its certificate or certificates representing the Shares of Class A Common Stock
for which it made such election, and such Shares of Class A Common Stock shall be cancelled.
Transfer Rights
There are no restrictions on transfer for shares
of Class A Common Stock of the Company.
Class B Common Stock
The rights and preferences of the Company’s
Class B Common Stock are identical to those of the Class A Common Stock of the Company, except for as described below.
Voting Rights
Holders of shares of Class B Common Stock
have no voting rights with respect to such shares; provided that the holders of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to vote (one
vote for each Class B share held) to the same extent that the holders of Shares of Class A Common Stock would be entitled to
vote on matters as to which non-voting equity interests are permitted to vote pursuant to 12 C.F.R. § 225.2(q)(2) (or a successor
provision thereto).
Transfer Rights
In the event a holder of shares of Class B
Common Stock transfers all or any portion of his or her shares of Class B Common Stock to a “Permitted Transferee” (as
defined below), such Permitted Transferee will be entitled to elect to exchange all or any portion of such Shares of Class B Common
Stock for Shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis without the payment of any additional consideration. No fractional
shares may be so exchanged. In the event of such an election, the Company will take all necessary corporate actions to effect such exchange,
the holder will surrender its certificate or certificates representing the Shares of Class B Common Stock for which it made such
election, and such Shares of Class B Common Stock shall be cancelled. A “Permitted Transferee” is a person or entity
who acquires Shares of Class B Common Stock from a bank, savings association, or a holding company (or an affiliate thereof) in
any of the following transfers:
| (i) | A widespread public distribution; |
| (ii) | A private placement in which no one party
acquires the right to purchase 2% or more of any class of voting securities of the Company |
| (iii) | An assignment to a single party (e.g.
a broker or investment banker) for the purpose of conducting widespread public distribution
on behalf of a bank, savings association, or a holding company (or an affiliate thereof)
and its transferees (other than transferees that are Permitted Transferees); or |
| (iv) | To a party who would control more than
50% of the voting securities of the Company without giving effect to the Shares of Class
B Common Stock transferred by a bank, savings association, or a holding company (or an affiliate
thereof) and its transferees (other than transferees that are Permitted Transferees). |
Preferred Stock
Pursuant to the Company’s A&R Certificate
of Incorporation, the Board of Directors of the Company has the right to designate shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock. As
of the date of this prospectus, all shares of Preferred Stock of the Company have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock. There
is no issued or outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock as of the date of this prospectus.
Series A Preferred Stock
Voting Rights
Each holder of the Company’s Series A
Preferred Stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders, including the election
of directors. Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such
share of Preferred Stock could be converted. Fractional votes will not be permitted and if the conversion results in a fractional share,
it will be disregarded.
Additionally, the holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock are entitled to certain protective provisions that require the Company to obtain the written consent or affirmative vote
of a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock prior to effecting certain corporate actions, comprised of the following:
| a) | alter the rights, powers, or privileges
of the Preferred Stock in a way that adversely affects the Preferred Stock; |
| b) | increase or decrease the authorized number
of shares of any class or series of capital stock; |
| c) | authorize or create (by reclassification
or otherwise) any new class or series of capital stock having rights, powers, or privileges
set forth in the A&R Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as then in effect,
that are senior to or on a parity with any series of Preferred Stock; |
| d) | redeem or repurchase any shares of Common
Stock or Preferred Stock (other than pursuant to employee or consultant agreements giving
the Company the right to repurchase shares upon the termination of services pursuant to the
terms of the applicable agreement); |
| e) | declare or pay any dividend or otherwise
make a distribution to holders of Preferred Stock or Common Stock; |
| f) | increase or decrease the number of directors
of the Company; |
| g) | liquidate, dissolve, or wind-up the business
and affairs of the Company |
The Series A Preferred Stockholders do not
have the right to vote for any directors of the Company as a standalone class, which is a right held by the Common Stockholders. The
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of the Common Stock for the election of one
(1) independent director, and may vote together with the holders of the Common Stock on any additional directors to be elected to
our Board of Directors after the initial five (5) directors are elected.
Dividend Rights
Holders of Series A Preferred Stock will
be entitled to receive dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of legally available funds and on
a pari passu basis with holders of the Common Stock. The Company has never declared or paid cash dividends on any of its capital stock
and currently does not anticipate paying any cash dividends after this offering or in the foreseeable future.
Conversion Rights
Shares of Series A Preferred Stock will
be convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock
at the then-applicable conversion rate. Initially, the conversion rate will be one share of Common Stock per share of Series A Preferred
Stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, reverse stock splits or the issuance of a dividend
or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock.
Additionally, each share of Series A Preferred
Stock will automatically convert into Common Stock:
|
i) |
immediately upon the closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock
to the public in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act |
|
ii) |
upon the affirmative election of the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of Preferred Stock, voting as a single class and on an as-converted basis. |
In either of these events, the shares will convert
in the same manner as a voluntary conversion.
Right to Receive Liquidation Distributions
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or certain other events (each a “Deemed Liquidation Event”)
such as the sale or merger of the Company, all holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to a liquidation preference
that is senior to holders of the Common Stock. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock will receive a liquidation preference equal to
the greater of (a) an amount for each share equal to the Original Issue Price for such share, adjusted for any stock dividends,
combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like (the “liquidation preference”) plus any declared but unpaid dividends
with respect to such shares or (b) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series A Preferred
Stock been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event.
Initially, the liquidation preferences for the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be $7.79 per share (the “Original Issue
Price”).
If, upon such liquidation, dissolution, or winding
up or Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets (or the consideration received in a transaction) that are distributable to the holders of
Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full amount of their respective liquidation preference,
then all of such funds will be distributed ratably among the holders of the Preferred Stock in proportion to the full amounts to which
they would otherwise be entitled to receive.
After the payment of the full liquidation preference
of the Series A Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the Company legally available for distribution (or the consideration received
in a transaction), if any, will be distributed ratably to the holders of the Common Stock in proportion to the number of shares of Common
Stock held by each such holder.
Warrants
The Company has various warrants outstanding
that are exercisable for shares of its Class A Common Stock. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March
30, 2023 for information on the outstanding warrants of the Company.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Our A&R Certificate of Incorporation and
Bylaws contain certain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another party from acquiring control
of us. These provisions, which are summarized below, could discourage takeovers, coercive or otherwise. These provisions are also designed,
in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate first with our Board of Directors. We believe that the benefits
of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of
discouraging a proposal to acquire us.
Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock
We have authorized but unissued shares of Preferred
Stock and Common Stock, and our Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of one or more series of preferred stock without stockholder
approval. These shares could be used by our Board of Directors to make it more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control
of us through a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise.
Limits on Stockholder Action to Call a Special Meeting
Our Bylaws provide that special meetings of the
stockholders may be called only by our Board of Directors. A stockholder may not call a special meeting, which may delay the ability
of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or for holders controlling a majority of our capital stock to take any action,
including the removal of directors.
Our A&R Certificate of Incorporation authorizes
our Board of Directors to fill vacancies or newly created directorships.
If there is a vacancy on our Board of Directors,
the majority of the directors then in office may elect a successor to fill any vacancies or newly created directorships. This may also
discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect their own slate of directors or otherwise
attempt to obtain control of our Company.
DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS
We may issue warrants for the purchase of shares
of our Class A Common Stock. We may issue warrants independently or together with other securities, and the warrants may be attached
to or separate from any offered securities. Each series of warrants would be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered
into between us and the investors or a warrant agent. The following summary of material provisions of the warrants and warrant agreements

applicable to a particular series of warrants. The terms of any warrants offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms

for the election of our directors or any other matter; or |

may act as agent, may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions. The underwriter may sell the securities
to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters
and/or commissions from the purchasers for which they may act as agent. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, an agent
will be acting on a best efforts basis and a dealer will purchase securities offered by us as a principal, and may then resell the securities
at varying prices to be determined by the dealer.
Any compensation paid to underwriters, dealers
or agents in connection with our offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to
participating dealers will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the
distribution of the securities offered by us may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any discounts
and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities offered by us may be deemed to be underwriting
discounts and commissions. We may enter into agreements to indemnify underwriters, dealers and agents against civil liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments they may be required to make in respect thereof and to reimburse those
persons for certain expenses.
Any Class A Common Stock offered by us would
be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, but any other securities offered by us may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange.
To facilitate our offering of securities, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain
or otherwise affect the price of the securities. This may include over-allotments or short sales of the securities, which involve the
sale by persons participating in the offering of more securities than were sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would
cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option, if
any. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the securities offered by us by bidding for or purchasing securities
in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed
if such securities sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be
to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities offered by us at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the
open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.
We may engage in at the market offerings into
an existing trading market in accordance with Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act. In addition, we may enter into derivative transactions
with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable
prospectus supplement so indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus
and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by
us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received
from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions
would be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, would be named in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective
amendment). In addition, we may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may
sell the securities short using this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement. Such financial institution or other third party
may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities
by us.
The specific terms of any lock-up provisions
in respect of any given offering will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The underwriters, dealers and agents may engage
in transactions with us, or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business for which they receive compensation.
In order to comply with applicable securities
laws of some states, the Class A Common Stock may be sold in those jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.
In addition, in certain states the Class A Common Stock may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the
applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirements is available.
To the extent required, this prospectus may be
amended and/or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.

The validity of the securities being offered
hereby will be passed upon for us by CrowdCheck Law, LLP. Additional legal matters may be passed upon for us or any underwriters, dealers
