BIGToken
Platform
Overview
We
have developed BIGToken as a way for consumers to benefit from the use of their data. Users of BIGToken will have the ability
to earn a pre-established number of points for completing certain tasks. By way of example, a user may earn 4 points for providing
their name and 10 points for checking in at a local restaurant. The number of points for each action will be prominently displayed
for the user to review prior to undertaking such action. The points will be convertible by the user into rewards which initially
will consist of: (i) cash, (ii) gift cards and (iii) donations to non-profit entities. We anticipate that as the user base of
BIGToken expands, additional goods and services offered by our advertising sponsors will also be available as rewards.
Since
initially launching our BIGToken platform in the United States, we have expanded the functionality of the platform through a series
of new applications as well as its geographical reach.

Big
Rewards: An application within the BIGtoken platform that provides users branded action that drives offers for cash back.
Consumer answers questions about a brand’s specific item at a retailer and then are offered a reward for the purchase
of the item at a select retailer. This offers brands an end to end reach in the digital media cycle by creating data driven
insights for planning, audience creation, and then all the way through activation and ultimately sales and other results-based
attribution.

purposes of opt-in research panels. Through our global platform we can launch multi-country studies and scale consumer populations
based on client needs. Additionally, our unique platform allows for analysis and relevancy of data points collected by brands
through research studies.

As
of September 30, 2019, we have not generated any revenue through the sale of data gathered from users of the BIGToken Platform.
Since commencing the BIGToken project, we have spent approximately $4 million in the development and management of the BIGToken
Platform. Additionally, we are currently obligated to redeem users’ points which are earned on our BIGToken Platform. We
are currently redeeming each point for $0.001 to $0.01, subject to the user meeting certain conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
we believe that in order to fully launch the BIGToken Platform and recognize all the benefits therefrom, not only will we be required
to further increase the functionally of the platform but we will also need to comply with both state and federal securities laws
and regulations with regard to certain aspects of the platform and specifically, BIGToken. There can be no assurances that we
will successfully develop the blockchain portion of the BIGToken Platform or that we will be able to comply with any applicable
laws or regulations on a timely basis, if at all. Our failure successfully complete the development of the BIGToken Platform or
to adequately comply with applicable laws and regulations, or comply with them on a timely basis, will greatly impact the value
and utility of the BIGToken Platform and could materially impact the operations of our company.

RISK
FACTORS
Investing
in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully
the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in the applicable prospectus supplement
and any related free writing prospectus, and discussed under the section entitled “Risk Factors” contained in our
most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as any amendments thereto
reflected in subsequent filings with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus in their entirety, together
with other information in this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference and any free writing prospectus that we may
authorize for use in connection with this offering. The risks described in these documents are not the only ones we face, but
those that we consider to be material. There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory
or other factors that could have material adverse effects on our future results. Past financial performance may not be a reliable
indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If
any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could be seriously harmed.
This could cause the trading price of our Class A common stock to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment.
Please also read carefully the section above entitled “Forward-Looking Statements.”
USE
OF PROCEEDS
This
prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the Selling Stockholders. There

to the terms thereunder. We will use the proceeds received from the exercise of the Warrants, if any, for general corporate purposes.
DETERMINATION

may offer for resale some or all of their securities at the time and price that they choose pursuant to the Plan of Distribution.
On any given day, the price of our common shares will be based on the market price for our Class A common shares, as quoted on
the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “SRAX”.
SELLING
STOCKHOLDERS
This
prospectus relates to the offering and sale, from time to time, by the Selling Stockholders of up to 1,090,862 Class A common
shares which are issuable upon the exercise of outstanding Series B warrants (the “Warrants”) which have an initial
exercise price of $3.00 per share (subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms therein. The Warrants were issued pursuant to the
redemption terms of the Company’s 12.5% secured convertible debentures issued in April and October of 2017 (“Debentures”).
The Warrants have a term of five (5) years from the date in which each of the redeemed Debenture were issued. Accordingly, (i)
277,500 Warrants have an expiration date of April 21, 2022, and (ii) 813,362 Warrants have an expiration date of October 27, 2022.
The Warrants also contain anti-dilution protection for subsequent equity sales for a price lower than the then applicable exercise
price, with a floor of $1.40.
The
Selling Stockholders may exercise their Warrants at any time in their sole discretion.
Set
forth below is information, to the extent known to us, setting forth the name of each Selling Stockholder and the amount and percentage
of Class A common stock owned by each (including Class A common shares that can be acquired on the exercise of outstanding warrants)
prior to the issuance of the Warrants, and the amount and percentage of Class A common stock to be owned by each (including shares
that can be acquired on the exercise of outstanding warrants) after the issuance of the Warrants assuming all shares are sold.
The footnotes provide information about persons who have voting and dispositive power for the Selling Stockholders and about transactions
between the Selling Stockholders and the Company, if any.
The
Selling Stockholders may sell all or some of the shares of Class A common stock they are offering, and may sell shares of our
Class A common stock otherwise than pursuant to this prospectus. The table below assumes that each selling stockholder exercises
all of its Warrants, and sells all of the Class A common shares issued upon exercise thereof, and that each Selling Stockholder
sells all of the Class A common shares offered by it in offerings pursuant to this prospectus, and does not acquire any additional
Class A common shares. We are unable to determine the exact number of Class A shares that will actually be sold or when or if
these sales will occur.
Unless
otherwise stated below in the footnotes, to our knowledge, no Selling Stockholder nor any affiliate of such stockholder: (i) has
held any position or office with, been employed by or otherwise has had any material relationship with us or our affiliates during
the three years prior to the date of this prospectus; or (ii) is a broker-dealer, or an affiliate of a broker-dealer.
We
may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time in the future to update or change this list and Class A common shares
which may be resold.
The
table below lists the selling shareholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of Class A common
stock by each of the Selling Stockholders. The total number of Class A common shares sold under this prospectus may be adjusted

anti-dilution protective provisions with regard to the Class A common stock underlying the Warrants.

PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
Each
Selling Stockholder of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time,
sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal trading market or any other stock exchange, market or trading
facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling
Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:
|
●
|
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the
block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
privately
negotiated transactions;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
settlement
of short sales;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
in
transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities
at a stipulated price per security;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
through
the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
a
combination of any such methods of sale; or
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
|
The
selling stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act,
if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers
engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive
commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities,
from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an
agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a
principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
In
connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions
with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of
hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close
out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling
Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one
or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered
by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus
(as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The
Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters”
within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers
or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts
under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding,
directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
We
are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the securities. We have agreed to
indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act.
We
agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling
Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without
the requirement for our company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act
or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under
the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed
brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered
hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the
registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under
applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not
simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Class A common stock for the applicable restricted period,
as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject
to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit
the timing of purchases and sales of the Class A common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies
of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus
to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

shares at any time into shares of Class A common stock on a share-for-share basis. Otherwise the rights of the two classes of
common stock will be identical. The rights of these classes of common stock are discussed in greater detail below.
Our
authorized capital stock consists of 309,000,000 shares, each with a par value of $0.001 per share, of which:
|
●
|
250,000,000
shares are designated as Class A common stock;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
9,000,000
shares are designated as Class B common stock; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
50,000,000
shares are designated as preferred stock.
|
As
of December 2, 2019, we had 13,997,452 shares of Class A common stock outstanding and no shares of Class B common stock or preferred
stock outstanding.
Common
Stock
Voting
Rights
Holders
of our Class A and Class B common stock have identical rights, except that holders of our Class A common stock are entitled to
one vote per share and holders of our Class B common stock are entitled to ten votes per share. Holders of shares of Class A common
stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted
to a vote of stockholders, unless otherwise required by law. Delaware law could require either our Class A common stock or Class
B common stock to vote separately as a single class in the following circumstances:
|
●
|
If
we amended our certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized shares of a class of stock, or to increase or decrease
the par value of a class of stock, then that class would be required to vote separately to approve the proposed amendment.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
If
we amended our certificate of incorporation in a manner that altered or changed the powers, preferences or special rights
of a class of stock in a manner that affects them adversely then that class would be required to vote separately to approve
the proposed amendment.
|
We
have not provided for cumulative voting for the election of directors in our certificate of incorporation.
Dividends
Subject
to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of Class A common stock and
Class B common stock shall be entitled to share equally in any dividends that our board of directors may determine to issue from
time to time. In the event a dividend is paid in the form of shares of common stock or rights to acquire shares of common stock,
the holders of Class A common stock shall receive Class A common stock, or rights to acquire Class A common stock, as the case
may be, and the holders of Class B common stock shall receive Class B common stock, or rights to acquire Class B common stock,
as the case may be.
Liquidation
Rights
Upon
our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock shall be entitled to
share equally all assets remaining after the payment of any liabilities and the liquidation preferences on any outstanding preferred
stock.
Subdivision
or Combinations.
Upon
the subdivision or combination of the outstanding shares of one class of Common Stock, the outstanding shares of the other class
of Common Stock will be subdivided or combined in the same manner.
Conversion
Our
Class A common stock is not convertible into any other shares of our capital stock.
Each
share of Class B common stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into one share of Class A common stock. In
addition, each share of Class B common stock shall convert automatically into one share of Class A common stock upon any transfer,
whether or not for value, except for certain transfers described in our certificate of incorporation, including the following:
|
●
|
Transfers
between one Class B Stockholder to another Class B Stockholder.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Transfers
for tax and estate planning purposes, including to trusts, corporations and partnerships controlled by a holder of Class B
common stock.
|
The
death of any holder of Class B common stock who is a natural person will result in the conversion of his or her shares of Class
B common stock to Class A common stock. Once transferred and converted into Class A common stock, the Class B common stock shall
not be reissued. No class of common stock may be subdivided or combined unless the other class of common stock concurrently is
subdivided or combined in the same proportion and in the same manner.
Dual
Class Structure
As
discussed above, our Class B common stock has ten votes per share, while our Class A common stock, which is the class of stock
the Selling Stockholders are selling pursuant to this prospectus and which is the only class of stock which is publicly traded,
has one vote per share. We currently have no shares of our Class B common stock outstanding. Notwithstanding, in the event Class
B common stock were issued, due to our dual class structure with superior voting rights, such ownership of Class B common stock
could discourage others from initiating any potential merger, takeover or other change of control transaction that other stockholders
may view as beneficial.
Preferred
Stock
Our
board of directors will have the authority, without approval by the stockholders, to issue up to a total of 50,000,000 shares
of preferred stock in one or more series. Our board of directors may establish the number of shares to be included in each such
series and may fix the designations, preferences, powers and other rights of the shares of a series of preferred stock. Our board
could authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could dilute the voting power or rights
of the holders of common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions
and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control
of SRAX. We have no current plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.
Warrants
The
Selling Stockholders are offering up to 1,090,862 shares of our Class A common stock which are underlying Series B purchase warrants
(“Warrants”). The Warrants were issued pursuant to the redemption terms of the Company’s 12.5% secured convertible
debentures issued in April and October of 2017 (“Debentures”). The Warrants have a term of five (5) years from the
date in which each of the redeemed Debenture were issued. Accordingly, (i) 277,500 of the Warrants expire on April 21, 2022, and
(ii) 813,362 expire on October 27, 2022. The Warrants have an initial exercise price of $3.00 per share (subject to adjustment
pursuant to the terms therein). The Warrants were issued on November 29, 2018 pursuant to the redemption terms of the Debentures.
The Warrants are subject to cashless exercise after six (6) months from the issuance date if the shares underlying the warrants
are not subject to an effective registration statement. The Warrants also contain anti-dilution protection for subsequent equity
sales for a price lower than the then applicable exercise price, with a floor of $1.40.
The
exercise price of the Warrants is subject to adjustment upon certain events, including stock splits, stock dividends, subsequent
equity transactions (other than specified exempt issuances), subsequent rights offerings, and fundamental transactions, subject
to the $1.40 floor described above. If we fail to timely deliver the shares of our common stock the exercise of a Warrant, we
will be subject to certain buy-in provisions. Additionally, the Warrants contained certain beneficial ownership limitations.
The
foregoing summary of the Series B warrant is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Warrant, a copy of
the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.01 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K that was filed with the
SEC on November 30, 2018 and which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
Anti-Takeover
Effects of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Certain
provisions of Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying,
deferring or discouraging another party from acquiring control of us. In particular, our dual class common stock structure will
concentrate ownership of our voting stock in the hands of our founders, board members, and employees. These provisions, which
are summarized below, are expected 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 increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh
the disadvantages of discouraging a proposal to acquire us because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement
of their terms.
Special
Approval for Change in Control Transactions
In
the event a person seeks to acquire us by means of a merger or consolidation transaction, a purchase of all or substantially all
of our assets, or an issuance of stock which constitutes 2% or more of our outstanding shares at the time of issuance and which
results in any person or group owning more than 50% of our outstanding voting power, then these types of acquisition transactions
must be approved by our stockholders at an annual or special meeting. At this meeting, we must obtain the approval of stockholders
representing the greater of:
|
●
|
A
majority of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
60%
of the voting power of the shares of capital stock present in person or represented by proxy at the stockholder meeting and
entitled to vote.
|
Undesignated
Preferred Stock
The
ability to authorize undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting
or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire us. These and other provisions may have
the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of our company.
Requirements
for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals
Our
bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election
as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors.
The bylaws do not give the board of directors the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals
regarding business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting of the stockholders. However, our bylaws may have the effect
of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed. These provisions may also
discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of
directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.
Delaware
Anti-Takeover Statute
We
will be subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law regulating corporate takeovers. In general,
Section 203 prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging under certain circumstances, in a business combination
with an interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder unless:
|
●
|
Prior
to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the
transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder.
|
|
●
|
Upon
completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the stockholder owned at
least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes
of determining the number of shares outstanding (1) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (2) shares
owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares
held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
On
or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the board and authorized at an annual
or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding
voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.
|
Generally,
a business combination includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested
stockholder. An interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or, within three years prior
to the determination of interested stockholder status, did own 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting securities.
We expect the existence of this provision to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions our board of directors
does not approve in advance. We also anticipate that Section 203 may also discourage attempts that might result in a premium over
the market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders.
The
provisions of Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws could have the effect of discouraging others from
attempting hostile takeovers and, as a consequence, they may also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market price of our common
stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing
changes in our 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.
