THE COMPANY

About Us—Business Overview

 

We are a human capital management (“HCM”("HCM") platform that provides real-time business intelligence along with HR services on a fee-based “software as a service” (“SAAS”) business model.platform. We provide payroll and related employment tax processing, human resources and employment compliance, employment related insurance, related, payroll, and operational employment administrative services solutions for our business clients (“clients” or “operators”) and shift work or “gig” opportunities for worksite employees (“WSEs” or “shifters”). As consideration for providing these services, we receive administrative or processing fees as a percentage of a client’s gross payroll, process and file payroll taxes and payroll tax returns, provide workers’ compensation coverage and administration related services, and provide employee benefits.payroll. The level of our administrative fees is dependent on the services provided to our clients which ranges from basic payroll processing to a full suite of human resources information systems (“HRIS”("HRIS") technology. Our primary operating business metric is gross billings, consisting of our clients’ fully burdened payroll costs, which includes, in addition to payroll, workers’ compensation insurance premiums, employer taxes, and benefits costs.

 

Our goal is to be the best online fully-integrated workforce solution and employer services support platform for lower-wage workers and employment opportunities. We have built an application and desktop capable marketplace solution that allows for workers to access and apply for job opportunities created by our clients and to provide traditional back-office services to our clients as well as real-time business information for our clients’ human capital needs and requirements.

 

We have designed our business platform to evolve to meet the needs of a changing workforce and a changing work environment. We believe our approach and robust technology will benefit from the observed demographic workplace shift away from traditional employee/employer relationships towards the increasingly flexible work environment that is characteristic of the gig economy. We believe this change in approach began after the 2008 financial crisis and is currently being driven by the labor shortage created out of the COVID-19 economic crisis. We also believe that a significant problem underpinning the lower wage labor crisis is the sourcing of workers and matching temporary or gig workers to short-term job opportunities.

 

We have built our business on a recurring revenue model since our inception in 2015. Our initial market focus has been to monetize a traditional staffing services business model, coupled with developed technology, to address underserved markets containing predominately lower wage employees with high turnover, including the light industrial, food service, restaurant, and hospitality markets.RISK FACTORS

 

Although we have recently expanded into other industries, as noted below, forInvesting in our fiscal year ended August 31, 2021 (“Fiscal 2021”), our primary focus was on clientssecurities involves risk. You should carefully consider the specific risks discussed or incorporated by reference in the restaurant and hospitality industries, market segments traditionally characterized by high employee turnover and low pay rates. We believe that these industries will be better served by our HRIS technology platform and related mobile smartphone application that provides payroll and human resources tracking for our clients. The use of our HRIS platform should provide our clients with real-time human capital business intelligence and we believe will result in lower operating costs, improved customer experience, and revenue growth. All of our clients enter into service agreements with usapplicable prospectus supplement or one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries to provide these services.

We believe that our value proposition is to provide a combination of overall net cost savings to our clients, for which they are willing to pay increased administrative fees that offset the costs of the services we provide, as follows:

Payroll tax compliance and management services;

Governmental HR compliance such as for Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“ACA”) compliance requirements;

Reduced client workers’ compensation premiums or enhanced coverage;

Access to an employee pool of potential qualified applicants to reduce turnover costs;

Ability to fulfill temporary worker requirements in a “tight” labor market with our intermediation (“job matching”) services; and

Reduced screening and onboarding costs due to access to an improved pool of qualified applicants who can be onboarded through a highly advanced, efficient, and virtually paperless technology platform.

We believe that providing this baseline business, coupled with our technology solution, provides a unique, value-added solution to the HR compliance, staffing, and scheduling problems that businesses face. Over the past eighteen months, in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have instituted various growth initiatives that are designed to accelerate our revenue growth. These initiatives include the matching of temporary job opportunities between workers and employers under a fully compliant staffing solution through our HRIS platform. For this solution to be effective, we need to obtain a significant number of WSEs in concentrated geographic areas to fulfill our clients’ unique staffing needs and facilitate the client-WSE relationship.


The Private Placement

On August 31, 2021, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd., pursuant to which we issued and sold, in a private placement (the “Offering”), an aggregate of (i) 2,850,000 shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock, together with warrants (the “Common Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,850,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) 4,673,511 pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-funded Warrants”) with each Pre-funded Warrant exercisable for one share of Common Stock, together with Common Warrants to purchase up to 4,673,511 shares of Common Stock (collectively, the “Offering”). Each share of Common Stock and accompanying Common Warrant was sold together at a combined offering price of $1.595, and each Pre-funded Warrant and accompanying Common Warrant was sold together at a combined offering price of $1.5949. The Pre-funded Warrants are immediately exercisable, at a nominal exercise price of $0.0001, and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-funded Warrants are exercised in full. The Common Warrants have an exercise price of $1.595 per share, are immediately exercisable and expire five years from the effective date of this registration statement.

In connection with the Offering, we entered into a Placement Agent Agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Placement Agent”), pursuant to which the Placement Agent acted as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the Offering. Pursuant to the Placement Agent Agreement, we agreed to pay the Placement Agent a fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the Offering. In addition to the cash fee, we agreed to issue to the Placement Agent warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to five percent (5%) of the aggregate number of Shares and shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants sold in the Offering (the “Placement Agent Warrants” and, together with the Common Warrants and the Pre-funded Warrants, the “Warrants”). The Placement Agent Warrants are exercisable for a period commencing six months from issuance and expiring four years from the effective date of this registration statement, and have an initial exercise price of $1.7545 per share.

In connection with the Offering, we are obligated, among other things, to (i) file a registration statement with the SEC within 15 days following the closing of the Offering for purposes of registering the Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, including the Pre-funded Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants, for resale by the selling shareholders, (ii) use our commercially reasonable best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within sixty (60) days after closing of the Offering (or ninety (90) days after the closing of the Offering if the registration statement is reviewed by the SEC), and (iii) maintain the registration until the selling shareholder no longer hold any Shares or Warrants, including Pre-funded Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants.

As described in detail below, a substantial portion of the proceeds of the Offering has been devoted to our funding activities in connection with our sponsorship, through one of our wholly owned subsidiaries, of four separate special purpose acquisition companies, or “SPACs”. We further expect to devote a substantial portion of the proceeds from the exercise of any warrants issued pursuant to the Offering to funding our SPAC sponsorship activities, as detailed below. We believe that each of the SPACs described below, upon completing their initial business combinations, will have a material positive impact on our results of operations. Nevertheless, the failure of the SPACs to consummate their initial public offerings (“SPAC IPOs”) or complete their initial business combinations (“IBC”) would likely have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and future results.

Recent Developments

Vensure Litigation

On September 7, 2021, Shiftable HR Acquisition, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vensure Employer Services, Inc. (collectively, “Vensure”), filed a complaint (the “Complaint”) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware asserting claims against us for breach of contract and declaratory judgment arising from the January 2020 Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) between Vensure and us, pursuant to which Vensure purchased certain assets from us for total consideration of $19 million in cash, with $9.5 million to be paid at closing, and the remainder to be paid in 48 equal monthly installments (the “Installment Sum”). The Complaint does not specify the amount of damages sought and, in any event, we believe that, even if Vensure were to prevail, the amount recoverable would be less than the Installment Sum due to us under the APA but unpaid to date after offsetting any such recovery. Nevertheless, we deny Vensure’s claims and intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously while pursuing recovery of the unpaid Installment Sum from Vensure. Accordingly, on November 4, 2021, the Company filed its Answer and Counterclaim to Vensure’s Complaint, in which it not only denied Vensure’s claims, but also asserted counterclaims for breach of contract and tortious interference with contract.

May 2021 Private Placement

On May 13, 2021, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd., pursuant to which we issued and sold, in a private placement (the “May Offering”), an aggregate of (i) 2,320,000 shares (the “May Shares”) of Common Stock, together with warrants (the “May Common Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,320,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) 2,628,453 pre-funded warrants (the “May Pre-funded Warrants”) with each May Pre-funded Warrant exercisable for one share of Common Stock, together with May Common Warrants to purchase up to 2,628,453 shares of Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock and accompanying May Common Warrant was sold together at a combined offering price of $2.425, and each May Pre-funded Warrant and accompanying May Common Warrant was sold together at a combined offering price of $2.4249. The May Pre-funded Warrants were immediately exercisable, at a nominal exercise price of $0.0001, and may be exercised at any time until all of the May Pre-funded Warrants are exercised in full. The May Common Warrants have an exercise price of $2.425 per share, were immediately exercisable and expire on June 15, 2026.

In connection with the May Offering, we entered into a Placement Agent Agreement (the “May Placement Agent Agreement”) with the Placement Agent, pursuant to which the Placement Agent acted as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the May Offering. Pursuant to the May Placement Agent Agreement, we agreed to pay the Placement Agent a fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the May Offering. In addition to the cash fee, we issued to the Placement Agent warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to five percent (5%) of the aggregate number of the May Shares and shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the May Pre-funded Warrants sold in the May Offering (the “May Placement Agent Warrants”). The May Placement Agent Warrants are exercisable for a period commencing on November 17, 2021 and expiring June 15, 2025, and have an initial exercise price of $2.6675 per share.

Sponsorship of Special Purpose Acquisition Companies

On April 29, 2021, we announced our sponsorship, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, ShiftPixy Investments, Inc. (“Investments”), of four SPAC IPOs. The registration statement and prospectus relating to the initial public offering (“IHC IPO”) of one of these SPACs, Industrial Human Capital, Inc. (“IHC”), was declared effective by the SEC on October 19, 2021, and IHC units (the “IHC Units”), consisting of one share of common stock and an accompanying warrant to purchase one share of IHC common stock, began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on October 20, 2021. The IHC IPO closed on October 22, 2021, raising gross proceeds of $115 million for IHC. In connection with the IHC IPO, we purchased, through Investments, 4,639,102 private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,639,102. IHC currently intends to use the proceeds of the IHC IPO to acquire companies in the light industrial segment of the staffing industry, and our goal is to enter into one or more CSAs with IHC following its IBC. Immediately following the IHC IPO, IHC began to evaluate acquisition candidates. IHC’s has twelve months to complete its IBC from the closing of the IHC IPO.

We currently anticipate that two of our remaining SPACs sponsored by Investments, Vital Human Capital, Inc. (“Vital”), and TechStackery, Inc. (“TechStackery”), will seek to raise $100 million each in connection with their SPAC IPOs to acquire companies in the healthcare, and technology segments of the staffing industry, respectively. We expect that our other remaining SPAC sponsored by Investments, Firemark Global Capital, Inc. (“Firemark”), will seek to raise $100 million in connection with its SPAC IPO to acquire one or more insurance entities to provide workers’ compensation and related insurance products. Although each of Vital, TechStackery and Firemark have filed registration statements and prospectuses contemplating that they will each seek to raise approximately $150 million, we currently anticipate that each will seek to raise approximately $100 million. We currently own, through Investments, approximately 15% of the issued and outstanding stock of IHC, and we expect to own approximately 15% of each of the other SPACs upon the consummation of their respective SPAC IPOs. Assuming that each of Vital, TechStackery and Firemark consummate their SPAC IPOs for gross proceeds of $100 million, we expect to invest, through Investments, an aggregate of $12,792,306 (or up to $13,917,306 if the over-allotment option of each of Vital, TechStackery and Firemark is exercised in full) in such SPACs to purchase private placement warrants. As previously disclosed, on October 22, 2021, we invested an aggregate of $4,639,102 to purchase private placement warrants in IHC through Investments. Also, as previously disclosed, on February 18, 2021, we invested an aggregate of $100,000 to purchase founder shares in all four of our sponsored SPACs through Investments.

The investment amounts set forth above do not include loans that Investments may extend to each SPAC in the amount of $500,000 (or $2 million in the aggregate) to cover IPO-related and organizational expenses of each SPAC, including SEC registration, legal and auditing fees. As of the date of this prospectus, Investments has been fully repaid by IHC and an aggregate of $550,000 remains outstanding to Vital, TechStackery and Firemark. To the extent each of Vital, TechStackery and Firemark do not complete their respective SPAC IPOs, such loans are unlikely to be repaid.

In addition, we may extend working capital loans to IHC to finance transaction costs in connection with IHC’s IBC. To date, we have not extended any such working capital loans, nor have we determined the terms upon which any such working capital loans would be extended and/or repaid. Up to $1,500,000 of such working capital loans may be convertible into private placement warrants of IHC’s post business combination entity, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at our option. If we extend working capital loans to IHC and IHC does not consummate its IBC, such working capital loans are unlikely to be repaid.

We do not currently have financing plans but we expect to obtain additional financing in the form of public or private equity offerings over the next twelve months as described above to purchase private placement warrants and to extend loans in connection with the SPAC IPOs of Vital, TechStackery and Firemark and to extend loans to IHC in connection with its IBC.

We may receive up to approximately $12.66 million in aggregate gross proceeds from cash exercises of the Warrants, based on the per share exercise price of the Warrants. The holders of the Warrants are not obligated to exercise their Warrants, and we cannot predict whether holders of the Warrants will choose to exercise all or any of their Warrants.Although we are permitted to use any proceeds we receive from the exercise of the Warrants for working capital and general corporate purposes, we anticipate that, depending upon the timing of any Warrant exercises, the bulk of the gross proceeds will be applied toward funding expenses associated with our activities related to our sponsorship of the SPACs, as described above.

We expect each SPAC to operate as a separately managed, publicly traded entity following the completion of their respective initial business combinations, or “De-SPAC”. We anticipate entering into service agreements with each of the staffing entities that will allow them to participate in our HRIS platform. We also expect to facilitate the procurement of workers’ compensation, personal liability, and other similar insurance products for these staffing entities through our anticipated relationship with Firemark, assuming that it is able to consummate its IPO and complete the De-SPAC process successfully.

Our board of directors (the “Board”) recently passed a resolution determining that we should not pursue direct acquisition opportunities at this time, but should instead use available capital that could be used for acquisitions to support our sponsorship of the SPACs, including the acquisition activities being conducted by IHC. As a result, we are devoting a substantial portion of our working capital, as well as management expertise, to supporting the activities of IHC as it progresses toward its IBC, which includes time and expense devoted to evaluating acquisition candidates, conducting due diligence, advancing legal and audit fees, and assisting in the recruitment of top management following De-SPAC. We anticipate that a portion of the gross proceeds of any Warrant exercises will support these activities, depending on their timing. Accordingly, we do not believe at present that there is a substantial likelihood that any of the SPACs will compete with us for suitable acquisition targets. Further, we do not anticipate that any of the SPACs entering into an IBC with a target business will be affiliated with us, Investments, or any of our officers or directors. To the extent one of the SPACs were to propose a business combination with such an affiliated person or related party, such transaction would be negotiated on an arms’ length basis and be subject to Board and shareholder approvals, as appropriate.

We anticipate that Firemark, Vital and TechStackery will each file with the SEC amendments to their respective registration statements on Form S-1 relating to their SPAC IPOs. These amendments will include updated financial statements, as well as revised public offering sizes and pricing terms. Although our present plan is to support each SPAC IPO, we are not in a position to state with certainty if or when any such SPAC IPO will be consummated, or the terms upon which it ultimately will be consummated.

We believe that our sponsorships of the SPACs focusing upon IBCs within the staffing industry have the potential to generate significant revenues and earnings for us, while also supporting a favorable business model for these SPACs. Similarly, we believe that Firemark has the potential to benefit from a relationship with us through both business referrals and licensed access to our technology, which should provide the means to expand its business in a profitable manner if and when it becomes operational.

Launch of ShiftPixy Labs

We also announced, in July 2020, our “ShiftPixy Labs” initiative, which includes the development of ghost kitchens in conjunction with our wholly-owned subsidiary, ShiftPixy Ghost Kitchens, Inc. Through this initiative, we intend to bring various food delivery concepts to market that will combine with our HRIS platform to create an easily replicated, comprehensive food preparation and delivery solution. The initial phase of this initiative is being implemented in our dedicated kitchen facility located in close proximity to our Miami headquarters, which we are already showcasing through the distribution of video programming on social media produced and distributed by our wholly -owned subsidiary, ShiftPixy Productions, Inc. If successful, we intend to replicate this initiative in similarly constructed facilities throughout the United States and in selected international locations. We also intend to provide similar services via mobile kitchen concepts, all of which will be heavily reliant on our HRIS platform and which we believe will capitalize on trends observed during the COVID-19 pandemic toward providing customers with a higher quality prepared food delivery product that is more responsive to their needs.

Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to provide both business setbacks and business opportunities. Our growth trajectory has been muted by the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our core business clients, primarily restaurants and nurse staffing organizations supplying health services not related to COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted and delayed our expected growth, which we saw initially through a decrease in our billed customers and WSEs beginning in mid-March 2020, when the State of California first implemented “lockdown” measures. Substantially all of our billed WSEs as of February 29, 2020 worked for clients located in Southern California, and were primarily in the QSR industry. Many of these clients were required to furlough or lay off employees or, in some cases, completely shutter their operations. For our clients serviced prior to the March 2020 pandemic lockdown, we experienced an approximate 30% reduction in business levels within six weeks after the first lockdown commenced. Early in the pandemic, the combination of our sales efforts and the tools that our services provide to businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in additional business opportunities for new client location additions, as did the fact that many of our clients received Payroll Protection Plan loans (“PPP Loans”) under the CARES Act, which supported their businesses and payroll payments during in-store lockdowns. Nevertheless, during the quarter ended May 31, 2020, our WSE billings per client location decreased as many of our clients were forced to cease operations or reduce staffing. On July 13, 2020, the Governor of the State of California re-implemented certain COVID-19 related lockdown restrictions in most of the counties in the state, including those located in Southern California where most of our clients were located. The mercurial nature of the pandemic led to recurring lockdowns through the issuance of additional orders by state and county health authorities that yielded uneven patterns of business openings and closings throughout our clients’ markets, which also experienced significant lockdowns beginning in late November 2020 and through the year-end holiday season as a spike in COVID-19 cases was observed.

The negative impact of these lockdowns on our business and operations continued through our third quarter of Fiscal 2021 in a see-saw pattern, with some improvement observed after the removal of many restrictions in California and elsewhere from March through June 2021, only to be followed by the reimplementation of restrictions in the face of the pandemic resurgence fueled by the spread of the Delta variant of the virus. While the availability of PPP Loans to our clients mitigated the negative impact on our business during the initial stages of the pandemic, we believe that the failure of the government to renew this program exacerbated the deleterious impact of subsequent restrictions and lockdowns on our financial results for Fiscal 2021.We have observed some degree of business recovery as these lockdowns have relaxed and vaccination efforts have accelerated, and we believe that, to the extent that COVID-19 infection rates continue to decrease, and vaccination rates increase, governmental authorities will continue to remove restrictions, which will fuel our clients’ business recoveries. Nevertheless, we remain concerned that the recent resurgence of the virus, in the form of the Omicron variant, could have a material negative impact on our business and results of operations, as could the emergence of additional variants of the virus in the future.

We have also experienced increases in our workers’ compensation reserve requirements, and we expect additional workers’ compensation claims to be made by furloughed employees. We also expect additional workers’ compensation claims to be made by WSEs required to work by their employers during the COVID-19 pandemic. On May 4, 2020, the State of California indicated that workers who became ill with COVID-19 would have a potential claim against workers’ compensation insurance for their illnesses. These additional claims, to the extent they materialize, could have a material impact on our workers’ compensation liability estimates.


Going Concern

As of August 31, 2021, we had cash of $1.5 million and a working capital deficit of $10.9 million. We have incurred recurring losses, which has resulted in an accumulated deficit of $149.4 million as of August 31, 2021. The recurring losses and cash used in operations are indicators of substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from issuance of the audited financial statements incorporated in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021. Our plans to alleviate substantial doubt are discussed below and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021.

Historically, our principal source of financing has come through the sale of our common stock and issuance of convertible notes. In May 2020, we successfully completed an underwritten public offering, raising a total of $12 million ($10.3 million net of costs), and closed an additional $1.35 million ($1.24 million net of costs) between June 1, 2020 and July 7, 2020 pursuant to the underwriter’s overallotment. In October 2020, we closed an additional $12 million equity offering ($10.7 million net of costs). In May 2021, we raised approximately $12 million ($11.1 million net of costs) in connection with the sale of common stock and warrants. More recently, in September 2021, we raised approximately $12 million ($11.1 million net of costs) in connection with the sale of common stock and warrants. Our plans and expectations for the next twelve months include raising additional capital to help fund expansion of our operations, including the continued development and support of our information technology (“IT”) and HRIS platform, as well as our activities in connection with our sponsorship of the SPACs described above. We expect to continue to invest in our HRIS platform, ShiftPixy Labs, our sponsorship of the SPACs and other growth initiatives, all of which have required and will continue to require significant cash expenditures.

We have been and expect to continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, from which we have experienced both positive and negative impacts. Our current business focus is providing human capital and payroll services for the restaurant and hospitality industries, which have seen a reduction in payroll and consequently a reduction in payroll processing fees on a per WSE and per location basis. However, we believe that we provide the means for current and potential clients to adapt to many of the obstacles posed by COVID-19 by offering additional services such as delivery, which have facilitated an increase in our client and client location counts, resulting in recovery of billings lost during the first months of the pandemic. Beginning in June 2020, our billings per WSE and per location improved as lockdowns in its primary Southern California market were lifted. Although the State of California re-implemented lockdowns in November 2020, we believe that many of our clients have modified their businesses after the initial lockdowns to adapt somewhat to these adverse circumstances. Further, the recent acceleration in the roll-out of COVID-19 vaccines throughout California and the entire country has resulted in an easing of business operating restrictions. Nevertheless, if lockdowns resume, our client’s delay hiring or rehiring employees, or if our clients shut down operations, our ability to generate operational cash flows may be significantly impaired.

Risks Relating to Our Business

There is no guarantee that our current cash position, expected revenue growth and anticipated financing transactions will be sufficient to fund our operations for In addition, please read the next twelve months. Our sponsorshipsection of various SPACs requires significant capital deployment, entails certain risks and may not be successful,this prospectus captioned “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” in which would likely have a material adverse effect on our future expansion, revenues, and profits.

As of August 31, 2021, we had cash of $1.5 million and a working capital deficit of $10.9 million. We have incurred recurring losses, which has resulted in an accumulated deficit of $149.4 million as of August 31, 2021. The recurring losses and cash used in operations are indicators of substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from issuance of the audited financial statements incorporated in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021. Our plans to alleviate substantial doubt are discussed below and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021.

Historically, our principal source of financing has come through the sale of our common stock and issuance of convertible notes. In May 2020, we successfully completed an underwritten public offering, raising a total of $12 million ($10.3 million net of costs), and closed andescribe additional $1.35 million ($1.24 million net of costs) between June 1, 2020 and July 7, 2020 pursuant to the underwriter’s overallotment. In October 2020, we closed an additional $12 million equity offering ($10.7 million net of costs). In May 2021, we raised approximately $12 million ($11.1 million net of costs) in connection with the sale of common stock and warrants. More recently, in September 2021, we raised approximately $12 million ($11.1 million net of costs) in connection with the sale of common stock and warrants. Our plans and expectations for the next twelve months include raising additional capital to help fund expansion of our operations, including the continued development and support of our IT and HRIS platform, as well as our activities in connectionuncertainties associated with our sponsorship ofbusiness and the SPACs described above. We expect to continue to investforward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in our HRIS platform, ShiftPixy Labs, our sponsorship of the SPACs and other growth initiatives, all of which have required and will continue to require significant cash expenditures.

We do not currently have financing plans but we expect to obtain additional financing in the form of public or private equity offerings over the next twelve months as described above to purchase private placement warrants and to extend loans in connection with the SPAC IPOs of Vital, TechStackery and Firemark and to extend loans to IHC in connection with its IBC.  We are not in a position to state with certainty if or when any of the SPAC IPOs of Vital, TechStackery and Firemark will be consummated, or the terms upon which such SPAC IPOs ultimately will be completed. There is no assurance that IHC will be able to consummate its IBC within twelve months from the closing of the IHC IPO or that each of Vital, TechStackery and Firemark will be able to complete their respective IBCs within twelve months from the closing of their respective IPOs, in which case such SPACs would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up. While we believe that all of the SPACs, after completing their IBCs, will generate significant revenues for us by virtue of entering into CSAs and/or other contractual relationships with us after completing the De-SPAC process, we are unable to rely with certainty on the SPACs to generate revenue in the future.

Assuming that each of Vital, TechStackery and Firemark consummate their SPAC IPOs for gross proceeds of $100 million, we expect to invest, through Investments, an aggregate of $12,792,306 (or up to $13,917,306 if the over-allotment option of each of Vital, TechStackery and Firemark is exercised in full) in such SPACs to purchase private placement warrants. As previously disclosed, on October 22, 2021, we invested an aggregate of $4,639,102 to purchase private placement warrants in IHC through Investments. Also, as previously disclosed, on February 18, 2021, we invested an aggregate of $100,000 to purchase founder shares in all four of our sponsored SPACs through Investments. We will lose our entire investment in each of Vital, TechStackery and Firemark if such SPACs are unable to complete their IPOs successfully. Furthermore, the combined value of our equity investment in our sponsored SPACs, as carried on the consolidated balance sheet included in the financial statements accompanying our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on December 3, 2021, is $47,472,000, which we have computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and which constitutes the majority of the carrying value of our total assets as reflected on our consolidated balance sheet. If all of the SPACs are unable to consummate their IBCs, then our founder shares and private placement warrants in each SPAC will be worthless. Further, even if all of the SPACs are able to consummate their respective IBCs, we can provide no assurance that the value of this equity investment will not decline significantly based upon a variety of factors, including, without limitation, stockholder and general market reaction to any IBC, redemption requests received from SPAC stockholders in connection with any proposed IBC, and SPAC stockholder dilution resulting from additional capital raises or other financing transactions undertaken by the SPACs in connection with any IBC.

We expect our investment in our HRIS platform to continue over the next twelve months regardless of whether we enter into client services agreements with the SPACs, and regardless of whether our SPACs are able to complete successfully the De-SPAC process, as we believe such investments will be necessary to support our existing clients as well as our future organic growth. While we anticipate that these investments will yield benefits to us in the future in the form of increased revenues and earnings, it is likely that such improved financial results will be delayed or otherwise materially impacted if we are unable to enter successfully into client services agreements with the SPACs on terms that are beneficial to us, or if the SPACs are unable to complete the De-SPAC process, including the IBCs.

We believe that our current cash position, along with our cost controls, projected revenue growth and anticipated financing from potential institutional investors, will be sufficient to alleviate substantial doubt and fund our operations for at least a year from the date of this Form 10-K. If these sources do not provide the capital necessary during the next twelve months, we may need to curtail certain aspects of our operations or expansion activities, consider the sale of additional assets, or consider other means of financing. We can give no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our business plan and obtaining financing on terms that are advantageous to us, or that any such additional financing will be available.prospectus.

 


We will lose our entire investment in each SPAC if each SPAC does not complete its initial business combination and our officers may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular business combination target is appropriate for each SPAC.

On April 29, 2021, we announced our sponsorship, through Investments, of four SPAC IPOs. We purchased founder shares in each SPAC, through Investments, for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000, or $25,000 per SPAC. The number of founder shares issued to us was determined based on the expectation that such founder shares would represent 15% of the outstanding shares of each SPAC after its initial public offering (excluding the private placement warrants described below and their underlying securities). We are likely to be able to make a substantial profit on our nominal investment in the founder shares even at a time when each SPAC’s public shares have lost significant value. On the other hand, the founder shares will be worthless for each SPAC that does not complete an IBC. Accordingly, Investments will benefit from the completion of IBCs and may be incentivized to complete an IBC of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than liquidate.

The registration statement and prospectus relating to the IPO of one of our sponsored SPACs, IHC, was declared effective by the SEC on October 19, 2021, and IHC units (the “IHC Units”), consisting of one share of common stock and an accompanying warrant to purchase one share of IHC common stock, began trading on the NYSE on October 20, 2021. The IHC IPO closed on October 22, 2021, raising gross proceeds for IHC of $115 million. In connection with the IHC IPO, we purchased, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, 4,639,102 placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,639,102. Assuming that each of Vital, TechStackery and Firemark consummate their initial public offerings for gross proceeds of $100 million, we expect to invest, through Investments, an aggregate of $12,792,306 (or up to $13,917,306 if the over-allotment option of each of Vital, TechStackery and Firemark is exercised in full) in such SPACs to purchase private placement warrants. As previously disclosed, on October 22, 2021, we invested an aggregate of $4,639,102 to purchase private placement warrants in IHC through Investments. Also, as previously disclosed, on February 18, 2021, we invested an aggregate of $100,000 to purchase founder shares in all four of our sponsored SPACs through Investments. Each whole private placement warrant is exercisable to purchase one whole share of common stock in each SPAC at $11.50 per share. The private placement warrants of each SPAC will also be worthless if each SPAC does not complete an IBC.

The investment amounts set forth above do not include loans that Investments extended to each SPAC in the amount of $500,000 (or $2 million in the aggregate), in our role as sponsor (through Investments), to cover initial public offering-related and organizational expenses of each SPAC, concluding SEC registration, legal and auditing fees. As of the date of this prospectus, Investments has been fully repaid by IHC and an aggregate of $550,000 remains outstanding to Vital, TechStackery and Firemark. To the extent each of Vital, TechStackery and Firemark do not complete their respective IPOs, such loans are unlikely to be repaid.

In addition, we may extend working capital loans to IHC to finance transaction costs in connection with IHC’s IBC. To date, we have not extended any such working capital loans, nor have we determined the terms upon which any such working capital loans would be extended and/or repaid. Up to $1,500,000 of such working capital loans may be convertible into private placement warrants of IHC’s post business combination entity, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at our option. If we extend working capital loans to IHC and IHC does not consummate its IBC, such working capital loans are unlikely to be repaid.

We do not currently have financing plans but we expect to obtain additional financing in the form of public or private equity offerings over the next twelve months as described above to purchase private placement warrants and to extend loans in connection with the SPAC IPOs of Vital, TechStackery and Firemark and to extend loans to IHC in connection with its IBC.

The interests of our officers who also serve as officers of each SPAC, and Mr. Absher, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer who also serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors of each SPAC, may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business combination, completing an initial business combination and influencing the operation of the business following the initial business combination of each SPAC.

There is no assurance that IHC will be able to complete its IBC within the next twelve months. Additionally, the remaining SPACs may not be able to complete their IBCs within twelve months from the closing of their respective SPAC IPOs, in which case the SPACs would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up. While we believe that the SPACs, after completing their IBCs, will generate significant revenues for us by virtue of entering into CSAs and/or other contractual relationships with us after completing the De-SPAC process, we are unable to rely with certainty on the SPACs to generate revenue in the future.

We expect our investment in our HRIS platform to continue over the next twelve months regardless of whether we enter into CSAs with the SPACs, and regardless of whether our SPACs are able to complete successfully the De-SPAC process, as we believe such investments will be necessary to support our existing clients as well as our future organic growth. While we anticipate that these investments will yield benefits to us in the future in the form of increased revenues and earnings, it is likely that such improved financial results will be delayed or otherwise materially impacted if we are unable to enter successfully into CSAs with the SPACs on terms that are beneficial to us, or if the SPACs are unable to complete the De-SPAC process, including their IBCs.


Certain of our officers and directors have potential conflicts of interest arising from our SPAC sponsorship activities.

Our officers may not commit their full time to our affairs, which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and the SPACs.  All of our officers are engaged in the SPACs and our officers are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week to our affairs. All of our officers serve as officers of each SPAC and Mr. Absher, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, also serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors of each SPAC. While we do not believe that the time devoted to the SPACs will undermine their ability to fulfill their duties with respect to our Company, if the business affairs of each SPAC require them to devote substantial amounts of time to such affairs, it could limit their ability to devote time to our affairs which may have a negative impact on our operations. The interests of each of these individuals in our Company and the SPACs may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business combination, completing an initial business combination and influencing the operation of our business following the initial business combination of each SPAC.

None of our officers or directors (i) hold any equity interest in the SPACs, (ii) receive any form of compensation from the SPACs, or (iii) have any pecuniary interest related to the SPACs separate and apart from their pecuniary interest in our Company. While Messrs. Absher, Carney and Gans, as officers and/or directors of both our Company and the SPACs, owe fiduciary duties to each entity, our Board has considered this matter and determined that no disabling conflict of interest has arisen or is likely to arise that would prevent these individuals from discharging their fiduciary duties on behalf of our Company. As a result, our Board has (i) approved our sponsorship of the SPACs through our subsidiary, Investments, (ii) approved Messrs. Absher, Carney and Gans serving as officers and/or directors of the SPACs, and (iii) approved the allocation of additional ShiftPixy resources, including financial backing and personnel, for the purpose of supporting the activities of the SPACs as they pursue their initial business combinations. Further, we do not anticipate that any of the SPACs will enter into an initial business combination with a target business affiliated with us, Investments, or any of our officers or directors. To the extent one of the SPACs were to propose a business combination with such an affiliated person or related party, such transaction would be negotiated on an arms’ length basis and be subject to Board and shareholder approvals, as appropriate.

General

Underwriters, dealers, agents and remarketing firms that participate in the distribution of the offered securities may be “underwriters” as defined in the Securities Act. Any discounts or commissions they receive from us and any profits they receive on the resale of the offered securities may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

The accompanying prospectus supplement may provide that the original issue date for your securities may be more than two scheduled business days after the trade date for your securities. Accordingly, in such a case, if you wish to trade securities on any date prior to the second business day before the original issue date for your securities, you will be required, by virtue of the fact that your securities initially are expected to settle in more than two scheduled business days after the trade date for your securities, to make alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

Underwriters and Agents

The underwriters may resell the offered securities in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions. These s ales will be made at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of the sale.

Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the offered securities will be subject to certain conditions contained in an underwriting agreement that we will enter into with the underwriters at the time of the sale to them. The underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities of the series offered if any of the securities are purchased, unless the applicable prospectus supplement says otherwise. Any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed, reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

We may designate agents to sell the offered securities. Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, the agents will agree to use their best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of their appointment.

One or more firms, referred to as “remarketing firms,” may also offer or sell the securities, if the prospectus supplement so indicates, in connection with a remarketing arrangement upon their purchase. Remarketing firms will act as principals for their own accounts or as agents for us. These remarketing firms will offer or sell the securities in accordance with a redemption or repayment pursuant to the terms of the securities. The prospectus supplement will identify any remarketing firm and the terms of its agreement, if any, with us and will describe the remarketing firm’s compensation.

If at the time of any offering made under this prospectus a member of FINRA participating in the offering has a “conflict of interest” as defined in FINRA Rule 5121, that offering will be conducted in accordance with the relevant provisions of FINRA Rule 5121.


Underwriters and agents may from time to time purchase and sell securities in the secondary market, but are not obligated to do so, and there can be no assurance that there will be a secondary market for the securities or liquidity in the secondary market if one develops. From time to time, underwriters and agents may make a market in the securities but are not obligated to do so and may cease to do so at any time.

We may enter into derivative or other hedging transactions with broker-dealers or otherfinancial institutions. These financial institutions which may in turn engage in sales of securities to hedge their position, deliver this prospectus in connection with some or all of those sales and use the securities covered by this prospectus to close out any short salesposition created in connection with those sales.

Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time. These transactions may be effected on any exchange or over-the-counter market or otherwise.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

The purpose of this prospectus supplement is to allow us to make sales from the operation“shelf” in “at -the-market” or “ATM” transactions. Unlike in underwritten public offerings, sales under ATM programs are not marketed, they are made at prevailing market prices, and they are generally less dilutive to stockholders than marketed offerings that generate the same net proceeds because (i) they are typically less expensive to transact than marketed offerings and (ii) they can be executed without a discount to the prevailing market price of the SEC's Public Reference Room by callingstock that is typical in marketed offerings. Our board of directors has concluded that, at this time, it is in our best interest to have an ATM program available and to be used at our discretion for capital raising, since it enables us to determine the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.  The SEC also maintains a website that contains reports, proxytiming, the quantity and information statements and other information regarding issuers like us that file electronically with the SEC.  The addresspricing of the SEC's website is http://www.sec.gov.sales.

About Us—Business Overview

We are a human capital management ("HCM") platform. We provide payroll and related employment tax processing, human resources and employment compliance, employment related insurance, and employment administrative services solutions for our business clients (“clients” or “operators”) and shift work or “gig” opportunities for worksite employees (“WSEs” or “shifters”). As consideration for providing these services, we receive administrative or processing fees as a percentage of a client’s gross payroll. The level of our administrative fees is dependent on the services provided to our clients which ranges from basic payroll processing to a full suite of human resources information systems ("HRIS") technology. Our primary operating business metric is gross billings, consisting of our clients’ fully burdened payroll costs, which includes, in addition to payroll, workers’ compensation insurance premiums, employer taxes, and benefits costs.


Our goal is to be the best online fully-integrated workforce solution and employer services support platform for lower-wage workers and employment opportunities. We have built an application and desktop capable marketplace solution that allows for workers to access and apply for job opportunities created by our clients and to provide traditional back-office services to our clients as well as real-time business information for our clients’ human capital needs and requirements.

We have designed our business platform to evolve to meet the needs of a changing workforce and a changing work environment. We believe our approach and robust technology will benefit from the observed demographic workplace shift away from traditional employee/employer relationships towards the increasingly flexible work environment that is characteristic of the gig economy. We believe this change in approach began after the 2008 financial crisis and is currently being driven by the labor shortage created out of the COVID-19 economic crisis. We also believe that a significant problem underpinning the lower wage labor crisis is the sourcing of workers and matching temporary or gig workers to short-term job opportunities.

RISK FACTORS

Our business is subject to significant risks. Before you invest in our common stock, you should carefully consider, among other matters, the risks and uncertainties described below, as well as the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, including our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and the information under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K. See “Information Incorporated by Reference.” Our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be adversely affected in a material way as a result of these risks. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, perhaps significantly, and you may lose part or all of your investment.


Risks Relating to this Offering

You will experience immediate dilution in the book value per share of the common stock you purchase in this offering.

Because the price per share of our common stock being offered is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock, you will suffer substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. Based on the assumed public offering price of $11.55 per share (the closing sale price of our common stock on January 27, 2023) and assuming that we sell all $8,187,827 of shares of common stock under this prospectus supplement, and after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us, if you purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution of $13.92 per share in the net tangible book value of the common stock. See the section titled “Dilution” below for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase common stock in this offering.

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering.

We currently intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock under the sales agreement for general corporate purposes, including working capital. We have not reserved or allocated specific amounts for any of these purposes and we cannot specify with certainty how we will use the net proceeds (see “Use of Proceeds”). Accordingly, our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. We may use the net proceeds for corporate purposes that do not increase our operating results or market value.

It is not possible to predict the aggregate proceeds resulting from sales made under the sales agreement.

Subject to certain limitations in the sales agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a placement notice to the Agent at any time throughout the term of the sales agreement. The number of shares that are sold through the Agent after delivering a placement notice will fluctuate based on a number of factors, including the market price of our common stock during the sales period, the limits we set with the Agent in any applicable placement notice, and the demand for our common stock during the sales period. Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate during the sales period, it is not currently possible to predict the aggregate proceeds we will raise in connection with those sales.

The common stock offered hereby will be sold in at the market offerings,and investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.

Investors who purchase shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience different levels of dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and number of shares sold in this offering. In addition, subject to the final determination by our board of directors, there is no minimum or maximum sales price for shares to be sold in this offering. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase in this offering as a result of sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.

Future sales of our common stock could lower our stock price and dilute existing stockholders.

We may, in the future, sell additional shares of common stock in subsequent public or private offerings. We cannot predict the size of future issuances of our common stock or the effect, if any, that future sales and issuances of shares of our common stock will have on the market price of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock. In addition, these sales may be dilutive to existing stockholders.

A large number of shares may be sold in the market following this offering, which may depress the market price of our common stock.

All of our shares of common stock sold in the offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. As a result, a substantial number of our shares of common stock may be sold in the public market following this offering, which may cause the market price of our common stock to decline. If there are more shares of common stock offered for sale than buyers are willing to purchase, then the market price of our common stock may decline to a market price at which buyers are willing to purchase the offered shares of common stock and sellers remain willing to sell the shares of common stock.

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

Subject to certain limitations in the sales agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a placement notice to the Agent at any time and from time to time during the term of the sales agreement. The actual number of shares common stock that are sold to or through the Agent on our behalf pursuant to any placement notice we deliver to the Agent will depend on the market price of the common stock during the periods in which sales are made and any restrictions or limitations applicable to such sales, such as a minimum price below which sales may not be made, that we may include in such placement notice or that otherwise apply under the sales agreement. Because the price per share of each share of common stock sold will fluctuate based on the market price of our common stock during the sales period, it is not possible at this stage to predict the number of shares that will ultimately be issued.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

All statements in this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference that are not historical facts should be considered “Forward Looking Statements” within the meaning of the “Safe Harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by the use words such as “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “estimates,” “should,” “seek,” “approximately,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “continue” or “anticipates” or similar expressions or words, or the negatives of those expressions or words. These statements may be made directly in this prospectus supplement and they may also be incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement from other documents filed with the SEC, and include, but are not limited to, statements about future financial and operating results and performance, statements about our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions with respect to future operations, products and services, and other statements that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. Actual results may differ materially from the anticipated results discussed in these forward-looking statements.


Some of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are disclosed under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus supplement. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. Additional risks, uncertainties, and other factors are incorporated herein by reference to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, along with the other information contained in this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the “Exchange Act.” Except as otherwise required by applicable securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances, or any other reason, after the date of this prospectus supplement.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We may issue and sell shares of our common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $8,187,827 from time to time.

Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. There can be no assurance that we will sell any shares under or fully utilize the sales agreement as a source of financing. We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock that we are offering may be up to $7,551,827 after deducting the Agent's commission and estimated offering expenses payable by us, assuming we sell the maximum amount under the sales agreement.

Except as otherwise set forth in a prospectus supplement or in other offering materials we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of our securities for general corporate purposes, including working capital. Pending such uses, we may temporarily invest the net proceeds in short-term investments.

The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the factors described under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, as well as the amount of cash used in our operations. We may find it necessary or advisable to use the net proceeds for other purposes, and management will have flexibility in applying the net proceeds of this offering.

DILUTION

If you invest in our common stock in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share and our as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering. We calculate net tangible book value per share by dividing our net tangible book value, which is tangible assets less total liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock.


Our net tangible negative book value as of November 30, 2022, was approximately ($32,168,000), or ($3.33) per share. After giving effect to the sale by us of 708,903 shares of common stock offered hereby at the assumed public offering price of $11.55 per share (the closing sale price of our common stock on January 27, 2023) and after deducting the sales agent commission and estimated offering expenses payable by us in an aggregate amount of $636,000, our as adjusted net tangible negative book value as of November 30, 2022, would have been approximately ($24,616,000) or ($2.37) per share. This represents an immediate increase in as adjusted net tangible book value of $0.96 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $13.92 per share to new investors purchasing our common stock in this offering. The following table illustrates the per share dilution to investors purchasing shares of common stock in this offering:

Assumed public offering price of common stock $11.55 
Net tangible negative book value per share as of November 30, 2022  (3.33)
Increase per share in net tangible book value after this offering  0.96 
As adjusted net tangible book value per share as of November 30, 2022, after giving effect to this offering  (2.37)
Dilution per share to new investors $13.92 

The table above assumes for illustrative purposes that an aggregate of 708,903 shares of our common stock are sold during the term of the sales agreement at a price of $11.55 per share (the closing sale price of our common stock on January 27, 2023) for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $8,187,827. The shares sold in this offering, if any, will be sold from time to time at various prices. 

The information discussed above is illustrative only and may change based on the actual public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at each sale under the sales agreement.

The above table is based on 9,671,196 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of November 30, 2022 and excludes, as of that date:

1,252,748 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants with a weighted average exercise price of $34.78; and
10,603 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options with a weighted average exercise price of $789.00.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We have entered into the sales agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners under which we may offer and sell, from time to time through A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, acting as agent or principal, shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $8,187,827. Sales of common stock, if any, under this prospectus supplement may be made in transactions that are deemed to be “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act.

Each time we wish to issue and sell our common stock under the sales agreement, we will notify the Agent of the number or dollar value of shares to be issued, the dates on which such sales are anticipated to be made, any limitation on the number of shares that may be sold in one day, any minimum price below which sales may not be made and other sales parameters as we deem appropriate. Once we have so instructed the Agent, unless the Agent declines to accept the terms of the notice, the Agent has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such shares up to the amount specified on such terms. The obligations of the Agent under the sales agreement to sell our common stock are subject to a number of conditions that we must meet. We may instruct the Agent not to sell our common stock if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by us in any such instruction. The Agent or we may suspend the offering of common stock upon proper notice to the other party and subject to other conditions. The Agent and we each have the right, by giving written notice as specified in the sales agreement, to terminate the sales agreement in each party’s sole discretion at any time upon five days’ prior notice.

Under the terms of the sales agreement, we may also sell our common stock to the Agent, as principal for its own account, at a price negotiated at the time of sale, provided that no sales may be made in a privately negotiated transaction without our prior consent.


We will pay the Agent commissions for its services in acting as agent in the sale of common stock at a commission rate of 4.0% of the gross sale price per share sold. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. We have also agreed to reimburse the Agent for certain specified fees and documented expenses, including the fees and documented expenses of its legal counsel in an amount not to exceed $40,000, plus an additional amount not to exceed $20,000 per year on an ongoing basis during the term of the sales agreement, as provided in the sales agreement. We estimate that the total expenses for the offering, excluding compensation and reimbursements payable to the Agent under the sales agreement, will be $268,487 if we sold the entire $8,187,827 of shares of common stock.

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

In connection with the sale of the shares of common stock on our behalf, the Agent will be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the Agent’s compensation will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to the Agent against certain liabilities, including civil liabilities under the Securities Act.

The offering of shares of our common stock pursuant to the sales agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (1) the issuance and sale of all common stock subject to the sales agreement; and (2) the termination of the sales agreement as permitted therein.

A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners and its affiliates have in the past and may in the future provide various investment banking and other financial services for us and our affiliates, for which services they have received and may in the future receive customary fees. To the extent required by Regulation M, the Agent will not engage in any market making activities involving our common stock while the offering is ongoing under this prospectus supplement. This summary of the material provisions of the sales agreement does not purport to be a complete statement of its terms and conditions. Copies of the sales agreement are filed with the SEC and are incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement is a part.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Sections 17-16-851 through -856 of the Wyoming Statutes (the “Applicable Statutes”) provide that directors and officers of Wyoming corporations may, under certain circumstances, be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and other liabilities actually and reasonably incurred by them as a result of any suit brought against them in their capacity as a director or officer, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. The Applicable Statutes also provide that directors and officers may also be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by them in connection with a derivative suit if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made without court approval if such person was adjudged liable to the corporation.

 

Further, Article V of our articles of incorporation, as amended, also provides as follows regarding our indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and agents:

 

“[t]o the fullest extent permitted by the Wyoming Business Corporation Act or any other applicable law as now in effect or as it may hereafter be amended, no person who is or was a director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for (A) the amount of financial benefit received by a director to which he or she is not entitled; (B) an intentional infliction of harm on the Corporation or the Shareholders; (C) a violation of Section 17-16-833 of the Wyoming Business Corporation Act; or (D) an intentional violation of criminal law. If the Wyoming Business Corporation Act is amended after the effective date of this Amendment to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Wyoming Business Corporation Act, as so amended.

 

The Corporation shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by the Wyoming Business Corporation Act, as the same may be amended and supplemented from time to time, any and all persons whom it shall have power to indemnify under the Wyoming Business Corporation Act. The indemnification provided for herein shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled as a matter of law under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors of the Corporation, or otherwise, both as to action in such indemnified person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

 


Any repeal or modification of this Article V or amendment to the Wyoming Business Corporation Act shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director, officer, agent, or other person existing at the time of or increase the liability of any director, officer, agent, or other person of the Corporation with respect to any acts or omissions of such director, officer, or agent occurring prior to, such repeal, modification, or amendment.

 

The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance 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 to another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against liability under the provisions of this Article V.”

 

Further, Article XIV of our Bylaws also provides as follows regarding our indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and agents:

 

“The corporation shall indemnify any person acting on its behalf in accord with the law of Wyoming. The indemnification provided hereby shall not be deemed exclusive of any other right to which anyone seeking indemnification thereunder may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on the behalf of any Director, officer, agent, employee or former Director or officer or other person, against any liability asserted against them and incurred by him.”

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, 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 us is against public policy as expressed hereby in the Securities Act and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
