Private Placement of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants

On August 14, 2019, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, or the SPA, with the selling stockholders, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to the selling stockholders up to an aggregate of 6,000 shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 3.87 million shares of our common stock (an amount equivalent to the number of shares of common stock into which the Series A convertible preferred stock is initially convertible). Each share of Series A convertible preferred stock is convertible, at any time and from time to time from and after the issuance date, at the holder’s option into that number of shares of common stock equal to the stated value per share (or $1,000) divided by the conversion price (initially, $1.55); thus, initially, each share of Series A convertible preferred stock is convertible into approximately 645 shares of common stock. The warrants have an initial exercise price of $1.88 per share, subject to customary adjustments, are exercisable from and after six months after the date of issuance and will expire five years from the date of issuance. We closed the offering on August 14, 2019 and issued 5,030 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock and granted warrants to issue up to 3,245,162 shares of common stock in connection therewith resulting in aggregate proceeds of $5,030,000. Both the conversion price of the Series A convertible preferred stock and the exercise price of the warrants are subject to downward price adjustments in the event of certain future equity sales or rights offerings.

Under the SPA, we are obligated to prepare and file a registration statement to permit the resale of shares of common stock underlying the Series A convertible preferred stock and the warrants issued pursuant to the SPA, in each case as may be sold by the selling stockholders from time to time as permitted by Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act. We cannot predict when or whether any of the selling stockholders will convert their Series A convertible preferred stock or exercise their warrants, and even if they do, we do not know how long the selling stockholders will hold the shares of common stock acquired upon conversion or exercise, as applicable, before selling them. We currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the selling stockholders regarding the sale or other disposition of any of the shares of common stock covered hereby. The shares of common stock covered hereby may be offered from time to time by the selling stockholders.platform applications.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. YouBefore making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and uncertainties described below,subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as filed with the SEC, each of which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus, as well as other information presentedany amendments or updates to our risk factors reflected in this prospectus orour subsequent filings with the SEC, including in any other documents incorporated by reference into thisapplicable prospectus in lightsupplement. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price or value of our securities could decline and you might lose all or part of your particular investment objectivesinvestment. For additional information, refer to the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information.”

The risks and financial circumstances. Moreover, the risks souncertainties we have described are not the only risksones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently perceive asdeem immaterial may ultimately prove more significant than expected and impair our business operations. Any of these risks could adverselyalso affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business

 

We have incurred significant net lossesThis prospectus and cannot assure youthe documents we incorporate by reference in this prospectus contain forward-looking statements that we will achieve or maintain profitable operations.involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks and uncertainties mentioned elsewhere in this prospectus. For more information, refer to the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information.”

 

To date, we have not generated any significant revenues from our operations and have incurred losses since inception. Our net losses were $5,351,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $6,723,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2019, we had a stockholders’ equity of $18,601,000. We may continue to incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays, and other unknown events.

We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase substantially in the foreseeable future as we undertake increased technology and production efforts to support our business and increase our marketing and sales efforts to drive an increase in the number of customers and clients utilizing our services. These increased expenditures may make it more difficult to achieve and maintain profitability. In addition, our efforts to grow our business may be more expensive than we expect, and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to offset increased operating expenses. If we are forced to reduce our expenses, our growth strategy could be compromised. To offset these anticipated increased operating expenses, we will need to generate and sustain significant revenue levels in future periods in order to become profitable, and, even if we do, we may not be able to maintain or increase our level of profitability.

Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will achieve sustainable operating profits as we continue to expand our infrastructure, restructure our balance sheet, further develop our marketing efforts, and otherwise implement our growth initiatives. Any failure to achieve and maintain profitability would have a materially adverse effect on our ability to implement our business plan, our results and operations, and our financial condition, and could cause the value of our common stock to decline, resulting in a significant or complete loss of your investment.

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm’s reports for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 have raised substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a “going concern.”

Our independent registered public accounting firm indicated in its reports on our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. A “going concern” opinion indicates that the financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if we do not continue as a going concern. Therefore, you should not rely on our consolidated balance sheet as an indication of the amount of proceeds that would be available to satisfy claims of creditors, and potentially be available for distribution to stockholders, in the event of liquidation. The presence of the going concern note to our financial statements may have an adverse impact on the relationships we are developing and plan to develop with third parties as we continue the commercialization of our products and could make it challenging and difficult for us to raise additional financing, all of which could have a material adverse impact on our business and prospects and result in a significant or complete loss of your investment.

Our ability to grow and compete in the future will be adversely affected if adequate capital is not available to us or not available on terms favorable to us.USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We have limitedintend to use the net proceeds we receive from the sale of our securities, and from the exercise of any warrants issued pursuant hereto, for working capital resources. To date, we have financed our operations entirely through equity investments by founders and other investors and the incurrence of debt, and we expect to continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Our ability to continue our normal and planned operations, to grow our business, and to compete in our industry will depend on the availability of adequate capital.general corporate purposes.

 

We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtainmay set forth additional fundinginformation regarding the anticipated use of proceeds from those or other sources when or in the amounts needed, on acceptable terms, or at all. If we raise capital through the sale of equity, or securities convertible into equity, it would resultwe offer under this prospectus in dilutiona prospectus supplement relating to our then-existing stockholders, which couldthe specific offering. We have not determined the amount of net proceeds to be significant depending on the price at which we may be able to sell our securities. If we raise additional capital through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, we would likely become subject to further covenants restricting our business activities, and holders of debt instruments may have rights and privileges senior to those of our then-existing stockholders. In addition, servicing the interest and principal repayment obligations under debt facilities could divert funds that would otherwise be available to support development of new programs and marketing to current and potential new clients. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we could be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate development of new programs or future marketing efforts, or reduce or discontinue our operations. Any of these events could significantly harm our business, financial condition, and prospects.

Our business depends on customers increasing their use of our services and/or platform, and we may experience loss of customers or decline in their use of our services and/or platform.

Our ability to grow and generate revenue depends, in part, on our ability to maintain and grow our relationships with existing customers and convince them to increase their usage of our platform. If our customers do not increase their use of our platform, then our revenue may not grow, and our results of operations may be harmed. It is difficult to predict customers’ usage levels accurately and the loss of customers or reductions in their usage levels may have a negative impact on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. If a significant number of customers cease using, or reduce their usage of, our platform, then we may be required to spend significantly more on sales and marketing than we currently plan to spend in order to maintain or increase revenueused from customers. These additional expenditures could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Most of our customers do not have long-term contractual financial commitments to us and, therefore, most of our customers could reduce or cease their use of our platform at any time without penalty or termination charges.

The market in which we operate is dominated by large, well established competitors.

The CRM industry is currently dominated by Salesforce.com, Inc., or Salesforce.com, Microsoft Corporation, or Microsoft, Oracle America Inc., or Oracle, SAP SE, and Adobe Inc., or Adobe, which collectively account for approximately 40% of industry sales. The CRM applications offered by these companies, as well as by many others, have numerous differences in feature sets and functionality, but all share certain basic attributes. Most of them were designed before the advent and proliferation of mobile phones, social media, and the technology behind the current ubiquity of video over the internet and more recently on mobile devices. While many of our competitors have attempted to incorporate video capabilities into their respective CRM platforms, none of them utilizes interactive video technology similar to that of ours. In addition, our Tagg interactive videos are viewable on both mobile and desktop devices regardless of operating system and without the need to download a proprietary player or program.

The market in which we operate is intensely competitive and, if we do not compete effectively, our operating results could be harmed.

The market for CRM applications is intensely competitive and rapidly changing, barriers to entry are relatively low, many of our competitors are larger and have more resources than we do, and, with the introduction of new technologies and market entrants, we expect competition to intensify in the future. If we fail to compete effectively, our operating results will be harmed.

Notwithstanding the competitive edge that we believe our Tagg interactive video capability provides our CRM applications, many of our competitors enjoy other substantial competitive advantages, such as greater name recognition, longer operating histories, and larger marketing budgets, as well as substantially greater financial, technical, and other resources. In addition, many of our potential competitors have established marketing relationships and access to larger customer bases, and have major distribution agreements with consultants, system integrators, and resellers.

Pending the use of the net proceeds, we intend to respond more effectively than we can to newinvest the net proceeds in high-quality, short-term interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit, or changing opportunities, technologies, standards,direct or customer requirements. Furthermore, becauseguaranteed obligations of these advantages, even if our products and services are more effective than the products and services that our competitors offer, potential customers might accept competitive products and services in lieu of purchasing our products and services. For all of these reasons, we may not be able to compete successfully against our current and future competitors.U.S. government.

We may not be able to increase the number of our partners or grow the revenues received from our current partnership relationships.

The differences between our Tagg interactive video CRM applications and many of the larger, more established providers of CRM software may serve to highlight the reasons we have chosen not only to develop our own stand-alone SaaS cloud CRM platform, but also to incorporate and integrate our interactive video technology into the platforms of many of these large, long-term leaders in the CRM industry. This allows them to offer Tagg interactive video capabilities to their large enterprise clients and customers as an upgrade feature to their CRM platform subscriptions. The viability of this strategy is evidenced by the partnerships we currently enjoy with Oracle NetSuite and Marketo, Inc., an Adobe company, as well as new partnerships with Salesforce.com and Microsoft, among others. There can be no assurance, however, that those relationships will result in material revenues for us or that we will be able to generate any other meaningful partnerships.

We may not be able to develop enhancements and new features to our existing service or acceptable new services that keep pace with technological developments.

Even though we believe that our Tagg interactive video CRM applications are currently unsurpassed in features and ease of use, technology invariably advances. If we are unable to develop enhancements to, and new features for, our Tagg interactive video CRM applications that keep pace with rapid technological developments, our business will be harmed. The success of enhancements, new features, and services depends on several factors, including the timely completion, introduction, and market acceptance of the feature or edition. Failure in this regard may significantly impair our revenue growth. We may not be successful in either developing these modifications and enhancements or in timely bringing them to market at a competitive price or at all. Furthermore, notwithstanding that our Tagg interactive videos are currently viewable on both mobile and desktop devices regardless of operating system, potential uncertainties about the timing and nature of new network platforms or technologies, or modifications to existing platforms or technologies, could increase our research and development expenses. Any failure of our service to operate effectively with future network platforms and technologies could reduce the demand for our service, result in customer dissatisfaction, and harm our business.

Our ability to deliver our services is dependent on the maintenance of the infrastructure of the Internet by third parties.

The Internet’s infrastructure is comprised of many different networks and services that, by design, are highly fragmented and distributed. This infrastructure is run by a series of independent, third-party organizations that work together to provide the infrastructure and supporting services of the Internet under the governance of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Numbers and Names (ICANN) and the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), which is now related to ICANN.

The Internet has experienced, and will continue to experience, a variety of outages and other delays due to damages to portions of its infrastructure, denial-of-service attacks, or related cyber incidents. These scenarios are not under our control and could reduce the availability of the Internet to us or our customers for delivery of our services. Any resulting interruptions in our services or the ability of our customers to access our services could result in a loss of potential or existing customers and harm our business.

Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise our information and expose us to liability, which would cause our business and reputation to suffer.

In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store sensitive data, including intellectual property, our proprietary business information and that of our customers, and personally identifiable information of our customers and employees. The secure processing, maintenance, and transmission of this information is critical to our operations and business strategy. Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance, or other disruptions. Any such breach could compromise our networks and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost, or stolen. Advanced attacks are multi-staged, unfold over time, and utilize a range of attack vectors with military-grade cyber weapons and proven techniques, such as spear phishing and social engineering, leaving organizations and users at high risk of being compromised. The vast majority of data breaches, whether conducted by a cyber attacker from inside or outside of the organization, involve the misappropriation of digital identities and user credentials. These credentials are used to gain legitimate access to sensitive systems and high-value personal and corporate data. Many large, well-known organizations have been subject to cyber-attacks that exploited the identity vector, demonstrating that even organizations with significant resources and security expertise have challenges securing their identities. Any such access, disclosure, or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, regulatory penalties, a disruption of our operations, damage to our reputation, or a loss of confidence in our business, any of which could adversely affect our business, revenues, and competitive position.

Organizations face growing regulatory and compliance requirements.

New and evolving regulations and compliance standards for cyber security, data protection, privacy, and internal IT controls are often created in response to the tide of cyber-attacks and will increasingly impact organizations. Existing regulatory standards require that organizations implement internal controls for user access to applications and data. In addition, data breaches are driving a new wave of regulation, such as the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation, with stricter enforcement and higher penalties. Regulatory and policy-driven obligations require expensive and time-consuming compliance measures. The fear of non-compliance, failed audits, and material findings has pushed organizations to spend more to ensure they are in compliance, often resulting in costly, one-off implementations to mitigate potential fines or reputational damage. The high costs associated with failing to meet regulatory requirements, combined with the risk of fallout from security breaches, has elevated this topic from the IT organization to the executive and board level.

Our business is highly competitive and any failure to adapt to changing consumer preferences may adversely affect our business and financial results.GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

We operatemay offer and sell, from time to time in a highly competitive, consumer-driven, and rapidly changing environment. Our success will, to a large extent, be dependent on our ability to acquire, develop, adopt, upgrade, and exploit new and existing technologies to address consumers’ changing demands and distinguish our products and services from those of our competitors. We may not be able to accurately predict technological trends or the success of new products and services. If we choose technologies or equipment that are less effective, cost-efficient, or attractive to our customers than those chosen by our competitors, or if we offer products or services that fail to appeal to consumers, are not available at competitive prices, or that do not function as expected, our competitive position could deteriorate, and our business and financial results could suffer.

The ability of our competitors to introduce new technologies, products, and services more quickly than we do may adversely affect our competitive position. Furthermore, advances in technology, decreases in the cost of existing technologies, or changes in competitors’ product and service offerings may require us in the future to increase research and development expenditures or to offer products and services at no or a reduced additional charge or at a lower price. In addition, the uncertainty of our ability, and the costs, to obtain intellectual property rights from third parties could impact our ability to respond to technological advances in a timely and effective manner. If we are unable to compete with existing companies successfully and new entrants to the markets in which we compete in, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We expect that the success of our business will be highly correlated to general economic conditions.

We expect that demand for our products and services will be highly correlated with general economic conditions, as we expect a substantial portion of our revenue will be derived from discretionary spending by individuals, which typically falls during times of economic instability. Declines in economic conditions in the United States or in other countries in which we may operate may adversely impact our financial results. Because such declines in demand are difficult to predict, we or our industry may have increased excess capacity as a result. An increase in excess capacity may result in declines in prices for our products and services. Our ability to grow or maintain our business may be adversely affected by sustained economic weakness and uncertainty, including the effect of wavering consumer confidence, high unemployment, and other factors. The inability to grow or maintain our business would adversely affect our business, financial conditions, and results of operations, and thereby an investment in our common stock.

We do not currently have any patents to protect our technologies and thus, we may not gain market share from our competitors and be unable to operate our business profitably.

Our success depends significantly on our ability to protect our rights to the technologies used in our products and services. We recently filed a patent application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or PTO, with respect to our interactive video technology. Currently, we do not have any issued patents and we rely on copyright, trade secrets, and nondisclosure, confidentiality and other contractual arrangements to protect our technology and intellectual property rights. However, these legal means afford only limited protection and may not adequately protect our rights or permit us to gain or maintain any competitive advantage. In addition, we cannot be assured that our pending patent application, or any future patent applications, will result in the issuance of a patent to us in a timely manner, or at all, or that we will have the financial or operational resources successfully to prosecute any patents that we may undertake. The PTO may deny or require significant narrowing of claims in our currently pending or any future patent applications, and patents issued as a result thereof, if any, may not provide us with significant commercial protection or be issued in a form that is advantageous to us. We could also incur substantial costs in proceedings before the PTO. Our pending patent application, and any future patent applications, may be challenged, which could reduce our ability to stop competitors from marketing related technologies. There can also be no assurance that competitors will not be able to design around any patents that may be issued to us in the future. In addition, we rely on unpatented proprietary technology. We cannot assure you that we can meaningfully protect all our rights in our unpatented proprietary technology or that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary products or processes or otherwise gain access to our unpatented proprietary technology.

We seek to protect our know-how and other unpatented proprietary technology with confidentiality agreements and intellectual property assignment agreements with our employees, our partners, independent distributors, and consultants. However, such agreements may not be enforceable or may not provide meaningful protection for our proprietary information in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure or other breaches of the agreements or in the event that our competitors discover or independently develop similar or identical designs or other proprietary information. We currently do not utilize any registered or common law trademarks to protect or brand the name of any of our products.

Although we believe that we have a proprietary platform for our technologies and products, we cannot determine with certainty whether any existing third-party patents or the issuance of any third-party patents would require us to alter our technology, obtain licenses, or cease certain activities. We may become subject to claims by third parties that our technology infringes their intellectual property rights.

We do not own any patents relating to our Tagg interactive video CRM platform.

We do not currently own any domestic or foreign patents relating to our Tagg interactive video CRM applications platform; however, we recently filed a patent application with the PTO with respect to our interactive video technology. We also do not currently have any licenses to use any third-party intellectual property. As such, if we are not successful in obtaining intellectual property rights covering our products or obtaining licenses to use a third-party’s intellectual property on reasonable and acceptable terms, it could result in lawsuits against us for trademark and/or intellectual property infringement, and we may not be able to counterclaim with our own infringement allegations. Any such infringement, litigation, or adverse proceeding could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could seriously harm our business operations or results of operations. There can also be no assurance that competitors will not be able to duplicate our interactive video technology or that our competitors will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary products or processes or otherwise gain access to our unpatented proprietary technology.

If we are unable to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights, we may be unable to compete effectively.

We believe that our intellectual property rights are important to our success and our competitive position, and we rely on a combination of copyright and trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. Although we have devoted substantial resources to the establishment and protection of our intellectual property rights, the actions taken by us may be inadequate to prevent imitation or improper use of our products and services by others or to prevent others from claiming violations of their intellectual property rights by us. We also rely on confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions with our employees, consultants, and corporate partners to protect our proprietary rights, but we cannot assure the compliance by such parties with their confidentiality obligations, which could be very time consuming and expensive to enforce.

Legal challenges to our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our financial results and operations.

We rely on licenses and other agreements in respect of our intellectual property with our partners and other parties and other intellectual property rights to conduct our operations. Legal challenges to our intellectual property rights and claims of intellectual property infringement by third parties could require that we enter into royalty or licensing agreements on unfavorable terms, incur substantial monetary liability, or be enjoined preliminarily or permanently from further use of the intellectual property in question or from the continuation of our businesses as currently conducted. We may need to change our business practices if any of these events occur, which may limit our ability to compete effectively and could have an adverse effect on our results of operations. Even if we believe any such challenges or claims are without merit, they can be time-consuming and costly to defend and divert management’s attention and resources away from our business.

Our success depends, in part, on the capacity, reliability, and security of our information technology hardware and software infrastructure, as well as our ability to adapt and expand our infrastructure.

The capacity, reliability, and security of our information technology hardware and software infrastructure are important to the operation of our current business, which would suffer in the event of system failures. Likewise, our ability to expand and update our information technology infrastructure in response to our growth and changing needs is important to the continued implementation of our new service offering initiatives. Our inability to expand or upgrade our technology infrastructure could have adverse consequences, including the delayed provision of services or implementation of new service offerings, and the diversion of development resources. We rely on third parties for various aspects of our hardware and software infrastructure. Third parties may experience errors or disruptions that could adversely impact us and over which we may have limited control. Interruption and/or failure of any of these systems could disrupt our operations and damage our reputation, thus adversely impacting our ability to provide our products and services, retain our current users, and attract new users. In addition, our information technology hardware and software infrastructure may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, misuse, computer viruses, or other events that could have a security impact. If one or more offerings, directly or through agents, dealers or underwriters, any combination of such events occur, our customer and other information processed and stored in, and transmitted through, our information technology hardware and software infrastructure, common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants and/or otherwise, could be compromised, which could result in significant losses or reputational damage. Weunits having an aggregate initial offering price not to exceed $100,000,000. The preferred stock may be required to expend significant additional resources to modify our protective measuresconvertible into or to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures, and we may be subject to litigation and financial losses, any of which could substantially harm our business and our results of operations.

We are dependent on third parties to, among other things, maintain our servers, provide the bandwidth necessary to transmit content, and utilize the content derived therefromexchangeable for the potential generation of revenues.

We depend on third-party service providers, suppliers, and licensors to supply some of the services, hardware, software, and operational support necessary to provide some of our products and services. Some of these third parties do not have a long operating history or may not be able to continue to supply the equipment and services we desire in the future. If demand exceeds these vendors’ capacity, or if these vendors experience operating or financial difficulties or are otherwise unable to provide the equipment or services we need in a timely manner, at our specifications and at reasonable prices, our ability to provide some products and services might be materially adversely affected, or the need to procure or develop alternative sources of the affected materials or services might delay our ability to serve our users. These events could materially and adversely affect our ability to retain and attract users, and have a material negative impact on our operations, business, financial results, and financial condition.

We may not be able to find suitable software developers at an acceptable cost.

We currently rely on certain key suppliers and vendors in the coding and maintenance of our software. We will continue to require such expertise in the future. Due to the current demand for skilled software developers, we run the risk of not being able to find or retain suitable and qualified personnel at an acceptable price, or at all. Without these developers, we may not be able to further develop and maintain our software, which is the most important aspect of our business development.

Our business may be affected by changing consumer preferences or by failure of the public to accept any new product offerings we may pursue.

The production and distribution of entertainment content is an inherently risky business because the revenue that may be derived depends primarily on the content’s acceptance by the public, which is difficult to predict. Consumer and audience tastes change frequently, and it is a challenge to anticipate what offerings will be successful at a certain point in time. In addition, competing entertainment content, the availability of alternative forms of entertainment and leisure time activities, general economic conditions, piracy, and increasing digital and on-demand distribution offerings may also affect the audience for our content. Our expenses may increase as we invest in new programming ideas, and there is no guarantee that the new programming will be successful or generate sufficient revenue to recoup the expenditures.

Our future success depends on our key executive officers and our ability to attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel.

Our future success largely depends upon the continued services of our executive officers and management team, especially our Chief Executive Officer and President, Mr. Rory J. Cutaia. If one or more of our executive officers are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to replace them readily, if at all. Additionally, we may incur additional expenses to recruit and retain new executive officers. If any of our executive officers joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose some or all of our customers. Finally, we do not maintain “key person” life insurance on any of our executive officers. Because of these factors, the loss of the services of any of these key persons could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations, and thereby an investment in our common stock.

Our continuing ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel will also be critical to our success because we will need to hire and retain additional personnel as our business grows. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract or retain highly qualified personnel. We face significant competition for skilled personnel in our industries. This competition may make it more difficult and expensive to attract, hire, and retain qualified managers and employees. Because of these factors, we may not be able to effectively manage or grow our business, which could adversely affect our financial condition or business. As a result, the value of your investment could be significantly reduced or completely lost.

A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital, which could adversely impact our ability to continue our operations.

A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. We may attempt to acquire a significant portion of the funds we need in order to conduct our planned operations through the sale of equity securities; thus, a decline in the price of our common stock could be detrimental to our liquidity and our operations because the decline may adversely affect investors’ desire to invest in our securities. If we are unable to raise the funds we require for all of our planned operations, we may be forced to reallocate funds from other planned uses and may suffer a significant negative effect on our business plan and operations, including our ability to develop new products or services and continue our current operations. As a result, our business may suffer, and we may be forced to reduce or discontinue operations. We also might not be able to meet our financial obligations if we cannot raise enough funds through the sale of our common stock and we may be forced to reduce or discontinue operations.

Purchasers in this offering may experience substantial dilution in the book value of their investment.

As of September 16, 2019, we have 11,024,764 shares of common stock potentially issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding warrants, 3,245,162 shares of common stock potentially issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Series A convertible preferred stock, and 2,977,974 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding stock options. The exercise or conversion prices to acquire common stock upon the exercise or conversion of warrants, notes, or options, may be at prices significantly below the price that you pay for shares of our common stock. To the extent outstanding warrants, options, or notes are ultimately exercised or converted, there may be further dilution to investors purchasing our common stock from our selling stockholders. In addition, if we issue additional equity securities, there is a vesting of employee stock grants, or there are any exercises of future stock options, you may experience additional dilution. Our board of directors has the power to issue any or all of such authorized but unissued shares at any price they consider sufficient, without stockholder approval. The issuance of additional shares of common stock in the future will reduce the proportionate ownership and voting power of current stockholders and may negatively impact the market price of our common stock.

We may issue additional securities with rights superior to those of our common stock, which could materially limit the ownership rights of our stockholders.

We may offer additional debt or equity securities in private and/or public offerings in order to raise working capital or to refinance our debt. Our board of directors has the right to determine the terms and rights of any debt securities and preferred stock without obtaining the approval of our stockholders. It is possible that any debt securities or preferred stock that we sell would have terms and rights superior to those of our common stock and may be convertible into shares of our common stock. Any sale of securities could adversely affect the interests or voting rights of the holders of our common stock, result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders, or adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

If we fail to comply with the applicable continued listing standards of Nasdaq, Nasdaq could delist our common stock or the warrants or both.

In order to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market, we must satisfy minimum financial and other continued listing standards, including those regarding director independence and independent committee requirements, minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum share price, and certain corporate governance requirements. There can be no assurances that we will be able to comply with such applicable continued listing standards. If we fail to comply with the continued listing standards, our common stock could be delisted. A failure to maintain listing on Nasdaq could have a material adverse effect on the liquidity and price of our common stock.

The market price of our common stock has been, and may continue to be, subject to substantial volatility.

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including;stock:

 

 volatility in the trading markets generally and in our particular market segment;
limited tradinga holder of our common stock;
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our results of operations;
the financial projections we may provide to the public, any changes in those projections, or our failure to meet those projections;
announcements regarding our business or the business of our customers or competitors;
changes in accounting standards, policies, guidelines, interpretations, or principles;
actual or anticipated developments in our business or our competitors’ businesses or the competitive landscape generally;
developments or disputes concerning our intellectual property or our offerings, or third-party proprietary rights;
announced or completed acquisitions of businesses or technologies by us or our competitors;
new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business;
any major change in our board of directors or management;
sales of shares of our common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon generally by us or by our stockholders;
lawsuits threatened or filed against us;the stockholders and
other events or factors, including those resulting from war, incidents of terrorism, or responses are not entitled to these events.

Statements of, or changes in, opinions, ratings, or earnings estimates made by brokerage firms or industry analysts relating to the markets in which we operate or expect to operate could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. In addition, the stock market as a whole, as well as our particular market segment, has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which may affect the market pricecumulative voting for the securities of many companies, and which often have appeared unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. Any of these factors could negatively affect our stockholders’ ability to sell their shares of common stock at the time and price they desire.

Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our shares of common stock in the near future, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless and until they sell them.

We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the near future. The declaration, payment, and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as our board of directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and, if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend. Unless our board of directors determines to pay dividends, our stockholders will be required to look to appreciation of our common stock to realize a gain on their investment. There can be no assurance that this appreciation will occur.

If we are unable to establish appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in the restatement of our financial statements, harm our operating results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of our common stock.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively to prevent fraud. We maintain a system of internal controls over financial reporting, which is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our board of directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

As a public company, we have significant requirements for enhanced financial reporting and internal controls. We are required to document and test our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. The process of designing and implementing effective internal controls is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and economic and regulatory environments, and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company.

We cannot assure you that we will, in the future, identify areas requiring improvement in our internal control over financial reporting. We cannot assure you that the measures we will take to remediate any areas in need of improvement will be successful or that we will implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future as we continue to grow. If we are unable to establish appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in the restatement of our financial statements, harm our operating results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of our common stock.

We lack sufficient internal controls over financial reporting and implementing acceptable internal controls will be difficult with a limited number of directors and management personnel, which will make it difficult to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed and submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported as and when required.

As of the date of this filing, we currently lack certain internal controls over our financial reporting. While we have recently appointed two independent directors to our board of directors, one of whom was appointed to chair our audit committee, and have hired a new Chief Technology Officer, we still have a limited number of directors and management personnel, which may make it difficult to implement such controls at this time. The lack of such controls makes it difficult to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed and submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported as and when required.

The reasons we believe that our disclosure controls and procedures are not fully effective are because:

there is a lack of segregation of duties necessary for a good system of internal control due, to insufficient accounting staff due to our size;
the staffing of our accounting department is weak due to the lack of qualifications and training, and the lack of formal review process;
our control environment is weak due to the lack of an effective risk assessment process, the lack of internal audit function, and insufficient documentation and communication of the accounting policies; and
failure in the operating effectiveness over controls related to recording revenue.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to develop and implement the necessary internal controls over financial reporting. The absence of such internal controls may inhibit investors from purchasing our shares and may make it more difficult for us to raise debt or equity financing.

Because our directors and executive officers are among our largest stockholders, they can exert significant control over our business and affairs and have actual or potential interests that may depart from those of investors.

Certain of our directors and executive officers own a significant percentage of our outstanding capital stock. We estimate that our executive officers and directors and their respective affiliates beneficially own approximately 18.9% of our outstanding voting stock, on a fully-diluted basis, as of the date of this prospectus, and, following the completion of this offering, such persons would beneficially own approximately 14.8% of our outstanding voting stock, on a fully-diluted basis, assuming that the selling stockholders sell all of the shares of common stock included in this offering. The holdings of our directors and executive officers may increase further in the future upon vesting or other maturation of exercise rights under any of the options or warrants they may hold or in the future be granted, or if they otherwise acquire additional shares of our common stock. The interests of such persons may differ from the interests of our other stockholders. As a result, in addition to their board seats and offices, such persons will have significant influence and control over all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, irrespective of how our other stockholders may vote, including the following actions:

to elect or defeat the election of our directors;
   
 subject to amend or prevent an amendmentpreferences that may apply to shares of preferred stock outstanding, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive lawful dividends as may be declared by our Articlesboard of Incorporation or Bylaws;directors;
   
 upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of shares of common stock are entitled to effect or preventreceive a merger, salepro rata portion of all our assets or other corporate transaction;remaining for distribution after satisfaction of all our liabilities and the payment of any liquidation preference on any outstanding shares of our preferred stock;
   
 to control the outcome of any other matter submittedthere are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our stockholders for a vote.

This concentration of ownership by itself may have the effect of impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover, or other business consolidation, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer for our common stock, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.

The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers, and employees under Nevada law and the existence of indemnification rights for our obligations to our directors, officers, and employees may result in substantial expenditures by us and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers, and employees.

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain provisions permitting us to eliminate the personal liability of our directors and officers to us and our stockholders for damages for the breach of a fiduciary duty as a director or officer to the extent provided by Nevada law. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under any future employment agreements with our officers. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in us incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and the resulting costs may also discourage us from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our stockholders against our directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders.

Anti-takeover effects of certain provisions of Nevada state law hinder a potential takeover of us.

Nevada has a business combination law that prohibits certain business combinations between Nevada corporations and “interested stockholders” for three years after an “interested stockholder” first becomes an “interested stockholder,” unless the corporation’s board of directors approves the combination in advance. For purposes of Nevada law, an “interested stockholder” is any person who is (i) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation or (ii) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the three previous years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of the term “business combination” is sufficiently broad to cover virtually any kind of transaction that would allow a potential acquirer to use the corporation’s assets to finance the acquisition or otherwise to benefit its own interests rather than the interests of the corporation and its other stockholders.

The potential effect of Nevada’s business combination law is to discourage parties interested in taking control of us from doing so if these parties cannot obtain the approval of our board of directors. Both of these provisions could limit the price investors would be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The proceeds from the sale of the shares offered pursuant to this prospectus are solely for the accounts of the selling stockholders. Accordingly, we will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares offered by this prospectus. See “Selling Stockholders” and “Plan of Distribution” below, beginning on pages 17 and 19, respectively.

We will however, receive proceeds upon the exercise of the warrants for cash, which shares of common stock underlying such warrants are being registered in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. If exercised, we plan to use the proceeds from the exercise of such warrants for working capital and general corporate purposes. If the warrants are exercised in full for cash, this would result in an aggregate of approximately $6,100,903 in possible funding. However, the timing and manner of use of the net proceeds may vary, depending on the amount of actual proceeds received from the exercise of the warrants, if any, the timing of the receipt of such proceeds, our rate of growth and other factors. The foregoing represents our best estimate of our use of the net proceeds of the offering based on current planning and business conditions. We reserve the right to change our use of proceeds when and if market conditions or unexpected changes in operating conditions or results occur, or in our management’s discretion. Pending the use of the net proceeds from the cash exercise of the warrants as described above, we intend to invest the proceeds in investment grade, interest-bearing instruments. Additionally, we can provide no assurances that the warrants, or any portion thereof, will be exercised in the future.

The selling stockholders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the selling stockholders for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the selling stockholders in disposing of the shares. We will bear all other costs, fees, and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the shares covered by this prospectus, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, exchange listing fees (if any), and fees and expenses of our counsel and our accountants.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

As described in more detail below, this prospectus relates to the offer and sale by the selling stockholders of up to 6,490,324 shares of our common stock consisting of:

up to 3,245,162 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock; and

On August 14, 2019, we entered into the SPA with the sellingUndesignated Preferred Stock

Our board of directors is authorized, without further approval from our stockholders, named herein, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to the selling stockholders up to an aggregatecreate one or more series of 6,000 shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock, and warrants to purchase an aggregatedesignate the rights, privileges, preferences, restrictions, and limitations of up to 3.87 millionany given series of preferred stock. Accordingly, our board of directors may, without stockholder approval, issue shares of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of restricting dividends payable to holders of our common stock, (an amount equivalent todiluting the numbervoting power of shares ofour common stock, into whichimpairing the Series A convertibleliquidation rights of our common stock, or delaying or preventing a change in control, all without further action by our stockholders. Further, the ability to authorize undesignated preferred stock is initially convertible). We closed the offering on August 14, 2019 and issued 5,030 sharesmakes it possible for our board of Series A convertibledirectors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire us. These and granted warrantsother provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Nevada Law and Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

Certain provisions of Nevada law, our Articles of Incorporation, and our Bylaws contain provisions that could make the following transactions more difficult: (i) an acquisition by means of a tender offer; (ii) an acquisition by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or (iii) the removal of our incumbent officers and directors. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in our best interests, including transactions that provide for payment of a premium over the then-current trading price for our shares.

These provisions, summarized below, are intended to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of the increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Undesignated Preferred Stock. The ability of our board of directors, without action by the stockholders, to issue up to 3,245,16214,994,000 shares of commonour currently undesignated preferred stock, in connection therewith resulting in aggregate proceedswith voting or other rights or preferences, could impede the success of $5,030,000.any attempt to effect a change of control.

 

Securities Purchase Agreement – Registration RightsStockholder Meetings. Our Bylaws provide that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by the chairman of our board of directors, our chief executive officer, our president, or by a majority of the members of our board of directors.

 

Under the SPA, we granted registration rights to the selling stockholders pursuant to which are obligated to prepare and file a registration statement to permit the resale of shares of common stock underlying (i) the Series A convertible preferred stock issued pursuant to the SPA and (ii) the warrants issued pursuant to the SPA, in each case asStockholder Action by Written Consent. Our Bylaws allow for any action that may be soldtaken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders to be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the selling stockholders from timeholders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to time as permitted by Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act. We cannot predict whenauthorize or whether any of the selling stockholders will convert their Series A convertible preferred stock or exercise their warrants,take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and even if they do, we do not know how long the selling stockholders will hold the shares of common stock acquired upon conversion or exercise, as applicable, before selling them. We currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the selling stockholders regarding the sale or other disposition of any of the shares of common stock covered hereby. The shares of common stock covered hereby may be offered from time to time by the selling stockholders.voted.

 

Selling Stockholder Table

The following table sets forth, for each selling stockholder, (i) its name and address, (ii)Stockholders Not Entitled to Cumulative Voting. Our Bylaws do not permit stockholders to cumulate their votes in the numberelection of sharesdirectors. Accordingly, the holders of common stock it beneficially owns prior to the offering to which this prospectus relates, (iii) the number of shares of common stock it may offer under this prospectus and (iv) the number of shares and percentage of our common stock that it will beneficially own following the completiona majority of the offering to which this prospectus relates assuming all of the shares covered hereby are sold. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Generally, a person “beneficially owns” shares of common stock if the person has or shares with others the power to vote those shares or to dispose of them or if the person has the right to acquire voting or dispositive power within 60 days.

All information contained in the table below and the footnotes thereto is based upon information provided to us by the selling stockholders and is accurate to the best of our knowledge as of the date hereof. The selling stockholders may have sold, transferred, otherwise disposed of or purchased, or may sell, transfer, otherwise dispose of or purchase, at any time and from time to time,outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote in transactions exempt from the registration requirementsany election of directors can elect all of the Securities Act or in the open market after the date on whichdirectors standing for election, if they provided the information set forth in the table. It is difficult to estimate the aggregate number of shares that the selling stockholders will ultimately offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus or that the selling stockholders will ultimately own upon completion of the offering to which this prospectus relates. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to this table, we believe that each of the selling stockholders named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock indicated as beneficially owned.

There are no relationships or arrangements between us and the selling stockholders, any affiliates of the selling stockholders, or any person with whom any selling stockholder has a contractual relationship regarding the transaction (or any predecessors of those persons)choose, other than those relationships or arrangementsany directors that arise from ownershipholders of our Series A preferred stock and warrants and other than the Series A preferred stock and warrants acquired in the private placement, there have not been any securities transactions between us and the selling stockholders.

As of September 16, 2019, we had 23,370,939 shares of common stock outstanding.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise disposebe entitled to elect.

Nevada Business Combination Statutes. The “business combination” provisions of any or allSections 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive, of the sharesNRS, generally prohibit a Nevada corporation with at least 200 stockholders from engaging in various “combination” transactions with any interested stockholder for a period of common stock covered by this prospectus on any stock exchange, market or trading facility ontwo years after the date of the transaction in which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices atperson became an interested stockholder, unless the timetransaction is approved by the board of sale, at prices relateddirectors prior to the prevailing market price,date the interested stockholder obtained such status or the combination is approved by the board of directors and thereafter is approved at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices.

The selling stockholders may use any one or morea meeting of the following methods when disposingstockholders by the affirmative vote of stockholders representing at least 60% of the offered securities:outstanding voting power held by disinterested stockholders, and extends beyond the expiration of the two-year period, unless:

 

 ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions inthe combination was approved by the board of directors prior to the person becoming an interested stockholder or the transaction by which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;person first became an interested stockholder was approved by the board of directors before the person became an interested stockholder or the combination is later approved by a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders; or
   
 block tradesif the consideration to be paid by the interested stockholder is at least equal to the highest of: (a) the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the two years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or in the transaction in which it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher, (b) the broker-dealer will attempt to sellmarket value per share of common stock on the securities as agent, but may position and resell a portiondate of announcement of the block as principal to facilitatecombination and the transaction;date the interested stockholder acquired the shares, whichever is higher, or (c) for holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, if it is higher.

8

A “combination” is generally defined to include mergers or consolidations or any sale, lease exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer, or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions, with an “interested stockholder” having: (a) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation, (b) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation, (c) 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation, and (d) certain other transactions with an interested stockholder or an affiliate or associate of an interested stockholder.

In general, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within two years, did own) 10% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. The statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire us even though such a transaction may offer our stockholders the opportunity to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing market price.

Nevada Control Share Acquisition Statutes. The “control share” provisions of Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, of the NRS apply to “issuing corporations” that are Nevada corporations with at least 200 stockholders, including at least 100 stockholders of record who are Nevada residents, and that conduct business directly or indirectly in Nevada. The control share statute prohibits an acquirer, under certain circumstances, from voting its shares of a target corporation’s stock after crossing certain ownership threshold percentages, unless the acquirer obtains approval of the target corporation’s disinterested stockholders. The statute specifies three thresholds: one-fifth or more but less than one-third, one-third but less than a majority, and a majority or more, of the outstanding voting power. Generally, once an acquirer crosses one of the above thresholds, those shares in an offer or acquisition and acquired within 90 days thereof become “control shares” and such control shares are deprived of the right to vote until disinterested stockholders restore the right. These provisions also provide that if control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired a majority or more of all voting power, all other stockholders who do not vote in favor of authorizing voting rights to the control shares are entitled to demand payment for the fair value of their shares in accordance with statutory procedures established for dissenters’ rights.

A corporation may elect to not be governed by, or “opt out” of, the control share provisions by making an election in its articles of incorporation or bylaws, provided that the opt-out election must be in place on the 10th day following the date an acquiring person has acquired a controlling interest, that is, crossing any of the three thresholds described above. We have not opted out of the control share statutes, and will be subject to these statutes if we are an “issuing corporation” as defined in such statutes.

The effect of the Nevada control share statutes is that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with the acquiring person, will obtain only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting. The Nevada control share statutes, if applicable, could have the effect of discouraging takeovers.

Amendment of Charter Provisions. The amendment of any of the above provisions would require approval by holders of at least a majority of the total voting power of all of our outstanding voting stock.

The provisions of Nevada law, our Articles of Incorporation, and our Bylaws could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting hostile takeovers. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in the composition of our board of directors and management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

Equity Line of Credit

On January 12, 2022, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “Common Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Tumim Stone Capital LLC (the “Investor”). Pursuant to the agreement, we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the Investor, and the Investor is obligated to purchase, up to $50,000,000 of newly issued shares of our common stock (the “Total Commitment”) from time to time during the term of the agreement, subject to certain limitations and conditions. The Total Commitment is inclusive of 607,287 shares of Common Stock (the “Commitment Shares”), issued to the Investor as consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

The Common Stock Purchase Agreement initially precludes us from issuing and selling more than 14,747,065 shares of our common stock, including the Commitment Shares and the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes (as defined below), which number of shares equals 19.99% of the number of shares of our common stock that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the agreement, unless we obtain stockholder approval to issue additional shares, or unless certain exceptions apply. In addition, a beneficial ownership limitation in the agreement initially limits us from directing the Investor to purchase shares of Common Stock if such purchases would result in the Investor beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock (subject to an increase to 9.99% at the Investor’s option upon at least 61 calendar days’ notice).

Unless earlier terminated, the Common Stock Purchase Agreement will automatically terminate upon the earliest of (i) the expiration of the 36-month period following the January 12, 2022, (ii) the Investor’s purchase or receipt of the Total Commitment worth of our common stock, or (iii) the occurrence of certain other events set forth in the agreement. We have the right to terminate the agreement at any time after commencement, at no cost or penalty, upon five trading days’ prior written notice to the Investor. The Investor has the right to terminate the agreement upon five trading days’ prior written notice to us, but only upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in the agreement.

Outstanding Convertible Notes

On January 12, 2022, we also entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with the holders named therein (collectively, the “Note Holders”) providing for the sale and issuance of an aggregate original principal amount of $6,300,000 in convertible notes due 2023 (each, a “Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”). We received $6,000,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of the Notes. The Notes bear interest of 6.0% per annum, have an original issue discount of 5.0%, mature 12 months from the closing date, and have an initial conversion price of $3.00, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as set forth in the Note.

The Securities Purchase Agreement initially precludes us from issuing and selling more than 14,747,065 shares of our common stock, including the shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, which number of shares equals 19.99% of the number of shares of our common stock that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the agreement, unless we obtain stockholder approval to issue additional shares, or unless certain exceptions apply.

2019 Warrants

In connection with the offering, we granted warrants to the Preferred Purchasers (the “2019 Warrants”) exercisable for up to 3,245,162 shares of common stock.

If we, at any time while the 2019 Warrants are outstanding, issue rights, options, or warrants to all holders of common stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of common stock at a price per share less than the volume weighted average price on the record date mentioned below, then the exercise price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of common stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options, or warrants plus the number of additional shares of common stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of common stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options, or warrants plus the number of shares that the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming receipt by us in full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such volume weighted average price.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

We may offer and sell, from time to time, debt securities in one or more series, as either senior or subordinated debt or as senior or subordinated convertible debt. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any debt securities that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any debt securities offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below. Unless the context requires otherwise, whenever we refer to the indenture, we also are referring to any supplemental indentures that specify the terms of a particular series of debt securities.

We will issue the debt securities under the indenture that we will enter into with the trustee named in the indenture. The indenture will be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). We have filed the form of indenture as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and supplemental indentures and forms of debt securities containing the terms of the debt securities being offered will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will be incorporated by reference from reports that we file with the SEC.

We may issue the debt securities issued under the indenture as “discount securities,” which means they may be sold at a discount to their stated principal amount. These debt securities, as well as other debt securities that are not issued at a discount, may be issued with “original issue discount” (“OID”), for U.S. federal income tax purposes because of interest payment and other characteristics or terms of the debt securities.

MATERIAL CHANGES

On April 12, 2019, we completed our acquisition of Sound Concepts through a two-step merger, consisting of merging Merger Sub 1 with and into Sound Concepts, with Sound Concepts surviving the “first step” of the merger as our wholly-owned subsidiary (and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub 1 then having ceased) and, immediately thereafter, merging Sound Concepts with and into Merger Sub 2, with Merger Sub 2 surviving the “second step” of the merger, such that, upon the conclusion of the “second step” of the merger, the separate corporate existence of Sound Concepts ceased and Merger Sub 2 continued its limited liability company existence under Utah law as the surviving entity and as our wholly-owned subsidiary. As a result of the merger, Merger Sub 2’s corporate name changed to “Verb Direct, LLC.” On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each share of capital stock of Sound Concepts issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time, was cancelled in exchange for a cash payment by us equal to an aggregate of $15,000,000, and the issuance of an aggregate of 3,327,791 restricted shares of our common stock, with an agreed value of $10,000,000 on the pricing date, which was at or about the date on which we priced our public offering. We paid the cash consideration using a portion of the net proceeds we received as a result of our public offering that closed on April 9, 2019. Pursuant to the requirements of current accounting guidance, we valued the acquisition shares at $7,820,000 on the closing date of the transaction.

ItemITEM 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

 

We are a Nevada corporation and generally governed by the Nevada Private Corporations Code, Title 78 of the NRS.

 

Section 78.138 of the NRS provides that, unless the corporation’s articles of incorporation provide otherwise, a director or officer will not be individually liable unless it is proven that (i) the director’s or officer’s acts or omissions constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties, and (ii) such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law.

 

Section 78.7502 of the NRS permits a company to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, if the officer or director (i) is not liable pursuant to Section 78.138 of the NRS, or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner the officer or director reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, if a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of the officer or director was unlawful. Section 78.7502 of the NRS also precludes indemnification by the corporation if the officer or director has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court determines that in view of all the circumstances, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses and requires a corporation to indemnify its officers and directors if they have been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any claim, issue, or matter resulting from their service as a director or officer.

 

Section 78.751 of the NRS permits a Nevada corporation to indemnify its officers and directors against expenses incurred by them in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding as they are incurred and in advance of final disposition thereof, upon determination by the stockholders, the disinterested board members, or by independent legal counsel. Section 78.751 of the NRS provides that the articles of incorporation, the bylaws, or an agreement may require a corporation to advance expenses as incurred upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the officer or director to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation if so provided in the corporation’s articles of incorporation, bylaws, or other agreement. Section 78.751 of the NRS further permits the corporation to grant its directors and officers additional rights of indemnification under its articles of incorporation, bylaws, or other agreement.

Section 78.752 of the NRS provides that a Nevada corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who 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 company, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, for any liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee, or agent, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify him against such liability and expenses. We have obtained insurance policies insuring our directors and officers against certain liabilities they may incur in their capacity as directors and officers. Under such policies, the insurer, on our behalf, may also pay amounts for which we have granted indemnification to the directors or officers.

 

The foregoing discussion of indemnification merely summarizes certain aspects of indemnification provisions and is limited by reference to the above discussed sections of the NRS.

 

In addition, our Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws generally eliminate director and officer liability for any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer. Our Bylaws provide that we must indemnify our directors and officers and may indemnify our employees and other agentsadvance expenses incurred, or reasonably expected to be incurred, within three (3) months of any proceeding to which the indemnitee was or is a party or is otherwise involved by reason of the fact that he or she was serving or acting in a covered capacity. An indemnitee is entitled to advances, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, solely upon the NRS.execution and delivery to us of an undertaking providing that the indemnitee agrees to repay the advance to the extent it is ultimately determined that he or she was not entitled to be indemnified by us under the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws or an agreement between us and the indemnitee. Finally, we have entered into Indemnification Agreements with each of our directors and officers that largely mirror the indemnification rights provided for in our Bylaws.

 

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