preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Preferred Stock”), warrants, or units having an aggregate initial
offering price not exceeding $100,000,000. Our shares of Preferred Stock, warrants, and units may be convertible or exercisable
or exchangeable for Common Stock or Preferred Stock or other of our securities and have not been approved for listing on any market
or exchange, and we have not made any application for such listing.
Each
time we sell a particular class or series of our securities, we will provide specific terms of such securities offered in a supplement
to this prospectus. Such prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information in this prospectus. You should read
this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, as well as the documents incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated

This
prospectus may not be used to offer or sell our securities unless accompanied by a prospectus supplement relating to the offered
securities.
Our
Common Stock is presently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “VISL”. On April 30, 2020, the last
reported sale price of our Common Stock was $0.34. Each prospectus supplement will indicate if our securities offered thereby
will be listed on any securities exchange.
As
of the date of this prospectus, the aggregate market value of our outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates was approximately
$29,950,416.06, based on 88,239,062 shares of outstanding common stock, of which 149,603 shares are held by affiliates,
and a per share price of $0.34, which represents the closing sale price of our common stock on April 30, 2020, which is
the highest closing sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market within the prior 60 days. As of the date of this
prospectus, we have not offered or sold any common stock pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 to Form S-3 during the 12 calendar
month period that ends on and includes the date hereof. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will we
sell securities in a public primary offering with a value exceeding more than one-third of our “public float” (the
market value of our common stock held by our non-affiliates) in any 12-month period so long as our public float remains below
$75,000,000.
Our
securities may be sold directly by us, through dealers or agents designated from time to time, to or through underwriters or dealers
or through a combination of these methods on a continuous or delayed basis. See “Plan of Distribution” in this prospectus.
We may also describe the plan of distribution for any particular offering of our securities in a prospectus supplement. If any
agents, underwriters or dealers are involved in the sale of any of our securities in respect of which this prospectus is being
delivered, we will disclose their names and the nature of our arrangements with them in a prospectus supplement. The net proceeds
that we expect to receive from any such sale will also be included in a prospectus supplement.
Investing
in our securities involves various risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 7 of this prospectus and in the applicable
prospectus supplement, and in the risks discussed in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus and in the applicable

OUR
BUSINESS
Except
where the context otherwise requires, the terms, “we,” “us,” “our” or “the Company,”
refer to the business of Vislink Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Overview
The
overarching strategy of Vislink Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) is to design, develop and deliver advanced wireless
communications solutions that provide customers in its target markets with enhanced levels of reliability, mobility, performance
and efficiency in their business operations and missions. Prior to April 2019, the Company’s business lines included the
brands and sub-brands of Integrated Microwave Technologies, LLC (“IMT”) and Vislink Communication Systems (“Vislink”
or “VCS”). There was considerable brand interaction, owing to complementary market focus, compatible product and technology
development roadmaps, and solution integration opportunities. During the process of merging the respective product and support
offerings across the brands, which began in 2017, the legacy brand names were maintained in markets where strong traditional identification
of them existed.
Effective
February 11, 2019, xG Technology, Inc. changed the name of its corporate entity to Vislink Technologies, Inc. On April 2, 2019,
the Company announced the official global repositioning of its brands to the worldwide market. As part of this rebranding initiative,
the Company united its individual product brands under the single Vislink brand entity. The rebranding also included an updated
visual identity with respect to logos, tag lines, and other graphical elements, and a completely redesigned website. The Company
also redefined its product offerings around three key vertical markets: Live Production, Military/Government (“Mil/Gov”)
and Satellite solutions (“Satellite”).
Technology
Overview
Vislink
manufactures and sells microwave communications equipment utilizing Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (“COFDM”)
technology. COFDM is a transmission technique that combines encoding technology with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
(“OFDM”) modulation to provide the low latency and high image clarity required for real-time live broadcasting video
transmissions. Vislink has extensive experience in ultra-compact COFDM wireless technology, which has allowed the Company to develop
integrated solutions that deliver reliable video footage captured from both aerial and ground-based sources to fixed and mobile
receiver locations. Over the years, Vislink has also been involved in the development of a number of broadcast microwave innovations,
including digital transmission techniques for use over conventional analog links, compact wireless camera systems, lightweight
carbon fiber portable satellite systems, software-defined portable MPEG-2/MPEG-4 (H.264) systems and one of the first wireless
4K ultra high definition camera systems.
Live
Production Market
In
the Live Production market, Vislink provides communication links for the wireless capture, delivery, and management of secure,
high-quality video from live sports, entertainment, and broadcast news events.
Key
segments within the live sports and entertainment sector are sports production, sports venue entertainment systems, movie director
video assist, e-sports and the non-professional user segment. Customers within this market are major domestic and international
professional sports teams, associations and organizations, movie production companies, live video production service providers,
system integrators and a growing segment of drone and unoccupied ground vehicle providers. For this sector, Vislink provides a
range of premium, mid-market and embedded wireless camera systems that include receivers, transmitters, amplifiers, and other
components and accessories.
Customers
within the broadcast news sector include blue-chip, tier-1 major network television stations, both domestic and international
over-the-air broadcasters, multi-channel broadcasters, network owners and station groups and cable and satellite news providers.
For this sector, Vislink designs, develop, and markets solutions to support electronic newsgathering activities from news helicopters
and ground-based news vehicles, camera operations, central receive sites, remote onsite and studio newscasts and live television
events. These solutions include premium digital broadcast microwave video systems, wireless camera systems, portable microwave
systems, and fixed point-to-point systems.
Mil/Gov
Market
The
Mil/Gov market consists of key segments that include state, local and federal law enforcement agencies, branches of domestic armed
forces, an international defense and government agencies and system integrators who serve these markets. Customers within this
market include state police forces, sheriff’s departments, fire departments, first responders, the Department of Justice,
the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Army. The solutions Vislink provides to this market are secure video communications
and mission-critical wireless video solutions for applications, including occupied and unoccupied aerial and ground systems, mobile
and handheld receive systems and transmitters for concealed video surveillance.
Satellite
Market
In
the Satellite market, Vislink is a leading global provider of satellite communication services, with solutions designed for use
in both fixed installations and small, rapidly deployable configurations. Vislink has been supplying satellite communications
solutions for over 30 years, and currently has several thousand terminals in use worldwide. Clients for these solutions include
organizations in broadcast & media, law enforcement, and defense sectors. The solutions that Vislink provides to these sectors
are designed to provide immediate, reliable, and secure video communications under challenging environments and conditions, particularly
in situations where prepositioned infrastructure is unreliable or unavailable. The product range developed for this market features
man-portable satellite communication units, flyaway terminals, vehicle-mounted systems and related modules that enhance performance
and optimize bandwidth.
Our
Strategy
With
our cost reduction initiatives completed in 2019, the plan going forward is to grow the business in the Live Production, Mil/Gov
and Satellite sectors. These industries allow us to offer a broad array of end-to-end, high-reliability, high-data-rate, long-range
wireless video transmission solutions. Our solutions are being used for applications in growing market segments, including in-game
sports video mobile feeds, real-time capture and display of footage from drones and other aerial platforms, and rapid-response
electronic newsgathering operations.
The
key sector strategies are to expand the various markets for existing miniature wireless video products, which include the educational
sector, videographers, and video service providers; introduce complete end-to-end intellectual property technology into traditional
broadcast and media markets; provide complete end-to-end solutions for the video surveillance market, and provide turnkey satellite
communications solutions to address the need for communications in challenging environments.
The
successful integration of the IMT and Vislink product lines, and subsequent rebranding of them as a single entity, has allowed
the Company to leverage the traditional strengths of each brand. We are now able to offer an expanded suite of products and services
in the worldwide markets in which we operate. Integrating the IMT and Vislink product lines has enabled the Company to take advantage
of the limited overlap that previously existed in product offerings, sales channels and market coverage between the two brands.
For example, there was a substantial Vislink client base in international markets where IMT products had a limited presence. Also,
the IMT product portfolio, which was strong among U.S. federal law enforcement and high-end sports broadcasting customers, has
been augmented with additional solutions based on enhanced product configurations. Finally, Vislink has traditionally focused
on licensed spectrum solutions where IMT has pioneered the use of non-licensed spectrum for many applications. Combining our shared
spectrum and interference mitigation intellectual property with the expanded product lineup may provide an opening into new customer
bases that currently do not have access to licensed spectrum.
Company
Information
Effective
February 11, 2019, xG Technology, Inc. changed its name to Vislink Technologies, Inc. Our executive offices are located at 101
Bilby Rd., Suite 15, Bldg. 2, Hackettstown, NJ 07840, and our telephone number is (908) 852-3700. Our website address is www.vislink.com.

Amended
Related Party Agreement
Effective
February 25, 2020, an amendment to a related party agreement between us and MB Merchant Group, LLC (“MBMG”) was executed
into a letter agreement (the “MBMG Agreement”), pursuant to which we and MBMG agreed to amend and restate certain
service agreements previously entered into with MBMG as well as its predecessor entity (the “MBMG Agreements”). Pursuant
to the MBMG Agreement, MBMG has agreed to provide only the following services to us: (i) to conduct merger and acquisition searches,
negotiating and structuring deal terms and other related services in connection with closing suitable acquisitions for us, and
(ii) to seek and secure financing for us, except in those regions in which we had previously appointed a business representative
to exclusively seek such opportunities, and subject in each case to prior approval by our Chief Executive Officer on a case-by-case
basis (collectively, the “MBMG Services”). Pursuant to the MBMG Agreement, MBMG will no longer provide strategic planning
and financial structuring services or technical consulting services, review patent applications or provide consulting services
with respect to certain legal matters.
Pursuant
to the MBMG Agreement, in consideration for the MBMG Services, we agreed to compensate MBMG through payment of: (i) an acquisition
fee equal to (A) the greater of $250,000 or 6% of the total acquisition price for deals in which the total consideration paid
by us is less than $50 million; (B) $3,000,000 plus 4% of the consideration paid by us in excess of $50 million for deals in which
the total consideration paid by us is between $50 million and $100 million; (C) $5,000,000 plus 2% of the consideration paid by
us in excess of $100 million for deals in which the total consideration paid by us is between $100 million and $400 million; or
(D) $10,200,000 plus 1.1% of the consideration paid by us in excess of $400 million for deals in which the total consideration
paid by us exceeds $400 million; (ii) a success-based due diligence fee of $250,000 on successfully closed deals, (iii) a waivable
success-based finance fee of 2% of the acquisition price and (iv) an incentive fee of 5% of an external advisor’s higher
valuation of an acquisition, with such fees subject to a customary 12-month tail period in the event of termination of the MBMG
Agreement. The MBMG Agreement further provides that (x) MBMG shall have the option to convert up to 50% of all such fees into
Common Stock so long as a receivable remains outstanding, convertible at a fixed price of 110% of the lower of the price of such
shares on the day of closing or such price in connection with any acquisition financing, as applicable; (y) we will no longer
compensate MBMG through, among other discontinued fees, a $50,000 monthly consulting fee that would have been due pursuant to
the MBMG Agreements and (z) in full satisfaction of specified claims arising out of the MBMG Agreements, we shall pay MBMG $420,000,
with $200,000 to be paid within three days of the execution of the MBMG Agreement and $220,000 to be paid within 30 days of such
execution.
MBMG
is an affiliate of Richard L. Mooers, a member of our Board, and Roger G. Branton, a member of our Board and our former Chief
Financial Officer.
Entry
into a Material Definitive Agreement
On
April 10, 2020, IMT was granted a loan (the “Loan”) from Texas Security Bank in the aggregate amount of $1,167,700,
pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under Division A, Title I of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief,
and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was enacted on March 27, 2020.
The
Loan, which is in the form of a promissory note dated April 5, 2020 issued by the Borrower, matures on April 5, 2022 and bears
interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum, payable monthly commencing on October 5, 2020. The Note may be prepaid by the Borrower
at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. We intend to use the Loan amount for payroll costs, costs used to
continue group health care benefits, mortgage payments, rent, utilities, and interest on other debt obligations. Under the terms
of the PPP, certain amounts of the Loan may be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act.
Nasdaq
Notifications
As
previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with SEC on September 27, 2019, we received written notice from
the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq (the “Staff”) on September 26, 2019 indicating that we
were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because the closing bid price for the Common Stock had closed below
$1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). Further, as previously
disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2020, we received notice from Nasdaq on March 25,
2020 indicating that, while we had not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, the Staff had determined that
we were eligible for an additional 180-day period, or until September 21, 2020, to regain compliance.
As
previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with SEC on April 23, 2020, we received notice from Nasdaq on April
17, 2020 that the 180-day grace period to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement under applicable Nasdaq rules
has been extended due to the global market impact caused by COVID-19. More specifically, Nasdaq has stated that the compliance
periods for any company previously notified about non-compliance will be suspended effective April 16, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
On July 1, 2020, companies would receive the balance of any pending compliance period exception to come back into compliance with
the applicable Minimum Bid Price Requirement. As a result of this extension, we now have until December 7, 2020 to regain compliance
with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
As
previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with SEC on March 5, 2020, we received a letter from the Staff on
March 4, 2020 notifying us that the Staff has determined that we did not comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) because the February
2020 Offering did not meet the Nasdaq definition of a public offering under Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5635-3. The Staff’s determination
was based on (i) the extent of the offering’s distribution, (ii) the existence of a prior relationship between us and the
investors in such offering, and (iii) the significant discount to the minimum price, as defined in Nasdaq rules. On March 18,
2020, we submitted a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635. On April 30, 2020, we received another letter from
the Staff notifying us that the Staff has determined not to delist our Common Stock for such non-compliance and that the Staff
has closed this matter by issuing us a letter of reprimand in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(4).

Risks
Related to the Company and Our Business
We
have included in our financial statements disclosure regarding our liquidity and financial condition as a result of our recurring
operating losses and cash used from operations.
As
reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements, we had working capital and an accumulated deficit of approximately
$3.6 million and approximately $252.6 million, respectively, at December 31, 2019. In addition, we had a loss from operations
of approximately $17.2 million and cash used in operating activities of approximately $8.4 million for the year ended December
31, 2019.
Our
consolidated financial statements are prepared assuming we can continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations
through realization of assets, and the settling of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company completed a cost
reduction plan announced in April 2018 that resulted in approximately $9.9 million in annual savings. Savings were realized through
immediate cost reductions by eliminating certain personnel costs, associated benefits and reduction in other expenses. Specifically,
the Company eliminated 83 full-time and contracted positions from the business, with salary and benefits savings totaling $8.9
million. The Company also removed $996,000 in annual non-labor costs from the business. The Company also completed an additional
$1.3 million in savings related to facilities consolidation. This includes consolidating the two sites in Colchester, U.K. into
one, which was completed in April 2019, and the expected savings are approximately $0.5 million through June 2020. The Company
also successfully completed a sublease related to its Billerica facility with expected savings of $0.6 million through May 31,
2021. As part of its cost cutting measures, the Company also vacated office and warehouse in Sunrise, Florida when the lease expired
on May 13, 2019 for total annual savings of approximately $0.2 million.
On
July 11, 2019, we closed an underwritten public offering (the “July 2019 Offering”) for 1,550,000 shares of Common
Stock, warrants to purchase 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock and, pre-funded warrants to purchase 4,450,000 shares of Common Stock
in place of Common Stock. We received gross proceeds of $11,995,550 from the offering, before deducting underwriting-related fees
and other offering expenses payable by us. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the equity financing to satisfy outstanding
principal and accrued interest due on then-outstanding convertible promissory notes and the balance of the proceeds raised in
such offering for working capital for daily operating expenditures.
On
November 27, 2019, we raised additional capital in an underwritten public offering in which we sold 3,201,200 shares of Common
Stock, pre-funded warrants exercisable for 11,893,100 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 11,320,725
shares of Common Stock. We received gross proceeds of $3,988,096.40 from the offering, before deducting underwriting-related fees
and other offering expenses payable by us. We have used the proceeds raised in such offering to provide working capital for daily
operating expenditures.
On
February 14, 2020, we closed an underwritten public offering of 12,445,000 shares of Common Stock, 12,445,000 warrants to purchase
up to an aggregate of 9,333,750 shares of Common Stock, and 14,827,200 pre-funded warrants, with each such pre-funded warrant
exercisable for one share of Common Stock, together with 14,827,200 warrants to purchase 11,120,400 shares of Common Stock. We
received gross proceeds of approximately $6 million from such offering, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions
and other estimated offering expenses, and excluding the exercise of any such pre-funded warrants or warrants. We have used the
proceeds raised in such offering to provide us with working capital and for general corporate purposes. Notwithstanding the receipt
of the proceeds from such raises described above, the reduction of debt using proceeds from the July 2019 Offering, and our cost-reduction
initiatives, we may lack adequate financial resources to generate cash from operations, because, among other reasons, our ability
to recognize revenue and ultimately cash receipts is contingent upon, but not limited to, acceptable performance of the delivered
equipment and services.
If
we are not able to comply with the applicable continued listing requirements or standards of Nasdaq, Nasdaq could delist our Common
Stock.
Our
Common Stock is currently listed on Nasdaq. In order to maintain such listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other continued
listing requirements and standards, including those regarding director independence and independent committee requirements, minimum
stockholders’ equity, minimum share price, and certain corporate governance requirements.
As
previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with SEC on September 27, 2019, we received written notice from
the Staff on September 26, 2019 indicating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because the closing
bid price for the Common Stock had closed below $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days (the “Minimum
Bid Price Requirement”). Further, as previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on March
31, 2020, we received notice from Nasdaq on March 25, 2020 indicating that, while we had not regained compliance with the Minimum
Bid Price Requirement, the Staff had determined that we were eligible for an additional 180-day period, or until September 21,
2020, to regain compliance. To regain compliance, the closing bid of our Common Stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for
at least ten (10) consecutive business days during the 180-day grace period. As previously disclosed in our Current Report on
Form 8-K, filed with SEC on April 23, 2020, we received notice from Nasdaq on April 17, 2020 that the 180-day grace period to
regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement under applicable Nasdaq rules has been extended due to the global market
impact caused by COVID-19. More specifically, Nasdaq has stated that the compliance periods for any company previously notified
about non-compliance will be suspended effective April 16, 2020 through June 30, 2020. On July 1, 2020, companies would receive
the balance of any pending compliance period exception to come back into compliance with the applicable Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
As a result of this extension, we now have until December 7, 2020 to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
During
the compliance period, our Common Stock will continue to be listed and traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market. If we cannot
regain in compliance by December 7, 2020, we may be afforded a second 180 calendar day grace period. To qualify, we would be
required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing
standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. In addition, we would be
required to notify Nasdaq of our intent to cure the Minimum Bid Price Requirement deficiency by effecting a reverse stock
split, if necessary. See “Recent Developments” on page 4 of this prospectus regarding Nasdaq’s written
notifications to us.
As
previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with SEC on March 5, 2020, we received a letter from the Staff on
March 4, 2020 notifying us that the Staff has determined that we did not comply with Listing Rule 5635(d) because the February
2020 Offering did not meet the Nasdaq definition of a public offering under Listing Rule IM-5635-3. The Staff’s determination
was based on (i) the extent of the offering’s distribution, (ii) the existence of a prior relationship between us and the
investors in such offering, and (iii) the significant discount to the minimum price, as defined in Nasdaq rules. On March 18,
2020, we submitted a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635. On April 30, 2020, we received another letter from
the Staff notifying us that the Staff has determined not to delist our Common Stock for such non-compliance and that the Staff
has closed this matter by issuing us a letter of reprimand in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(4).
There
can be no assurances that we will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing standards, or if we do later regain
compliance with Nasdaq’s listing standards, that we will be able to continue to comply with the applicable listing standards.
In addition, there can be no assurance that, if and when we regain compliance with such listing standards, we may, again, in the
future, fall out of compliance with such standards, and there can be no assurance that any proposed offering that we conduct pursuant
to any prospectus or prospectus supplement forming a part of this registration statement will comply with Nasdaq’s listing
standards. If we are unable to maintain compliance with these Nasdaq requirements, our Common Stock will be delisted from Nasdaq.
We
face risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks, which could significantly disrupt our operations and could have a
material adverse impact on us, and the recent coronavirus outbreak could materially and adversely affect our business.
An
outbreak of a new respiratory illness caused by COVID-19 has resulted in millions of infections and hundreds of thousands of deaths
worldwide, as of the date of filing of this prospectus supplement, and continues to spread across the globe, including the United
States, the major market in which we operate. The outbreak of COVID-19 or by other epidemics could materially and adversely affect
our business, financial condition and results of operations. If COVID-19 worsens in the United States, or in any other regions
in which we have material operations or sales, our business activities originating from affected areas, including sales, manufacturing
and supply chain related activities, could be adversely affected. Disruptive activities from COVID-19 could still include the
temporary closure of our manufacturing facilities and those used in our supply chain processes, restrictions on the export or
shipment of our products, significant cutback of ocean container delivery from Asia, business closures in impacted areas, and
restrictions on our employees’ and consultants’ ability to travel and to meet with customers. The extent to which
COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including
new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the virus and the actions to contain it or treat its impact, among
others. COVID-19 could also result in social, economic and labor instability in the countries in which we or our customers and
suppliers operate.
If
workers at one or more of our offices or the offices of our suppliers or manufacturers become ill or are quarantined and in either
or both events are therefore unable to work, our operations could be subject to disruption. Further, if our manufacturers become
unable to obtain necessary raw materials or components, we may incur higher supply costs or our manufacturers may be required
to reduce production levels, either of which may negatively affect our financial condition or results of operations. In addition,
the capital markets have been disrupted and our efforts to raise necessary capital will likely be adversely impacted by the outbreak
of COVID-19. As a result, we cannot forecast with any certainty when the disruptions caused by such outbreak will cease to impact
our business and the results of our operations. In reviewing our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2019, as well as the notes to such financial statements, including our discussion of our ability to continue as a going concern
set forth therein, which financial statements and notes are incorporated by reference to this registration statement of which
this prospectus forms a part, and any accompanying supplements, consider the additional uncertainties caused by the outbreak of
COVID-19.The extent to which COVID-19 affects our results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot
be predicted, including actions to contain COVID-19 or address and treat its effects, among others.
At
several of our annual stockholder meetings, including our 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we failed to obtain ratification
by our stockholders of certain proposals submitted for approval of our stockholders at prior annual meetings, which could be deemed
to be defective corporate acts.
At
our 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our Board submitted to our stockholders, for their approval, (i) a proposal to approve
our 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and (ii) a proposal to approve our 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan. At our 2016 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders our Board submitted to our stockholders, for their approval, (i) a proposal to approve our 2016 Employee
Stock Purchase Plan and (ii) a proposal to approve our 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan. At our 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
our Board submitted to our stockholders, for their approval, (i) a proposal to approve an amendment to our 2016 Employee Stock
Purchase Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock available for sale under such plan; (ii) a proposal to approve
an amendment to our 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock available for sale under
such plan; and (iii) a proposal to approve our 2017 Incentive Compensation Plan.
At
each of these annual meetings, our inspector of elections determined that the applicable proposal received the requisite stockholder
approval pursuant to our amended and restated by-laws (“Bylaws”) and certified that the proposal passed, which was
subsequently disclosed in an applicable Current Report on Form 8-K. Questions have been raised as to whether the votes on such
proposals were tabulated in accordance with the provisions of our Bylaws and whether the requisite number of votes were obtained
to approve each of these proposals.
Pursuant
to the provisions of Section 204 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”) and in order to
continue to remain in compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rules, we submitted all of these proposals, again, to our stockholders
at our 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders for ratification in order to resolve any defects in the corporate acts relating to
the approval of these proposals by our stockholders at the prior meetings. We were unable to obtain ratification by our stockholders
for any of these proposals submitted to them at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Although we intend to resubmit these
proposals again to our stockholders for ratification, there can be no assurance that any of these proposals will be ratified.
In the event that we are unable to secure such ratifications secured or are not deemed to be effective, among other consequences,
this could result in a determination that none of the shares issued by us under these plans were duly authorized and validly issued,
which could create accounting issues, affect our liquidity and capital structure, and expose us to claims from recipients of any
stock awards granted pursuant to such plans, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of
operations.
We
are planning to hold another meeting in 2020 to obtain approval and ratification for these measures, but there is no assurance
that we will be able to do so.
We
may require additional capital in the future to develop new products. If we do not obtain any such additional financing, if required,
our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.
We
may require additional capital in the future to develop new products. We may not be able to secure adequate additional financing
when needed on acceptable terms, or at all. To execute our business strategy, we may issue additional equity securities in public
or private offerings, potentially at a price lower than the offering price of the securities issuable pursuant to this registration
statement or the market price of our Common Stock at the time of such issuance. If we cannot secure sufficient additional funding,
we may be forced to forego strategic opportunities or delay, scale back and eliminate future product development.
Defects
or errors in our products and services or in products made by our suppliers could harm our brand and relations with our customers
and expose us to liability. If we experience product recalls, we may incur significant expenses and experience decreased demand
for our products.
Our
products are inherently complex and may contain defects and errors that are only detectable when the products are in use. Because
our products are used for both personal and business purposes, such defects or errors could have a serious impact on our end customers,
which could damage our reputation, harm our customer relationships and expose us to liability. Defects or impurities in our components,
materials or software, equipment failures or other difficulties could adversely affect our ability, and that of our customers,
to ship products on a timely basis as well as customer or licensee demand for our products. Any such shipment delays or declines
in demand could reduce our revenues and harm our ability to achieve or sustain desired levels of profitability. We and our customers
may also experience component or software failures or defects that could require significant product recalls, rework and/or repairs
that are not covered by warranty reserves.
We
may fail to meet publicly announced financial guidance or other expectations about our business, which would cause our Common
Stock to decline in value.
From
time to time, we provide preliminary financial results or forward-looking financial guidance, to our investors. Such statements
are based on our current views, expectations and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause
actual results, performance, achievements or share prices to be materially different from any future results, performance, achievements
or share prices expressed or implied by such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, changes to the assumptions
used to forecast or calculate such guidance or expectations, or the occurrence of risks related to our performance and our business,
including those discussed in these risk factors, among others. Any failure to meet any financial guidance or expectations regarding
our future performance could harm our reputation and cause our stock price to decline.
The
requirements of being a U.S. public company may strain our resources and divert management’s attention.
As
a U.S. public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the listing
requirements of Nasdaq, and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations will
increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming, or costly, and increase
demand on our systems and resources. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual and current reports with
respect to our business and operating results.
As
a result of disclosure of information in this prospectus and in filings required of a public company, our business and financial
condition is more visible, which we believe may result in threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors and other
third parties. If such claims are successful, our business and operating results could be harmed, and even if the claims do not
result in litigation or are resolved in our favor, these claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could divert
resources of our management and harm our business and operating results.
In
the event that our Common Stock is delisted from Nasdaq, U.S. broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in
shares of our Common Stock because they may be considered penny stocks and thus be subject to the penny stock rules.
The
SEC has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stock” that restrict transactions involving stock which is deemed
to be penny stock. Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Exchange
Act. These rules may have the effect of reducing the liquidity of penny stocks. “Penny stocks” generally are equity
securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges
or quoted on Nasdaq if current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the
exchange or system). Our shares of Common Stock have in the past constituted, and may again in the future constitute, “penny
stock” within the meaning of the rules. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon U.S. broker-dealers
may discourage such broker-dealers from effecting transactions in shares of our Common Stock, which could severely limit the market
liquidity of such shares of Common Stock and impede their sale in the secondary market.
A
U.S. broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or “accredited investor” (generally,
an individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or
her spouse) must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent
to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. In addition, the “penny
stock” regulations require the U.S. broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a “penny stock”,
a disclosure schedule prepared in accordance with SEC standards relating to the “penny stock” market, unless the broker-dealer
or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A U.S. broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the U.S. broker-dealer
and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a U.S. broker-dealer is required to submit
monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the “penny stock” held in a customer’s
account and information with respect to the limited market in “penny stocks”.
Stockholders
should be aware that, according to the SEC, the market for “penny stocks” has suffered in recent years from patterns
of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often
related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and
misleading press releases; (iii) “boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price
projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers;
and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired
level, resulting in investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock
market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate
in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being
established with respect to our securities.
We
acknowledge material weaknesses in the controls and procedures of our financial reporting and may identify additional material
weaknesses in the future that may cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, including timeliness, or result in material
misstatements of our financial statements. If we continue to fail to remediate our material weaknesses or if we fail to implement
effective controls and procedures for our financial reporting, our ability to accurately and timely report our financial results
could be adversely affected, which likely would adversely affect the value of our Common Stock.
Our
management has previously identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as a result of not properly
performing an effective risk assessment or monitoring of our internal controls over financial reporting. Notwithstanding the completed
integration of IMT and Vislink, there remain risks related to the timing and accuracy of the information from various accounting
and Material Requirement Planning (“MRP”) systems whereby the Company has experienced delays in receiving information
in a timely manner from its subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2019, we concluded that certain of these material weaknesses continued
to exist.
We
made modest improvements on the integration of information issues in 2019 as we worked to implement a single accounting and MRP
system. In October 2019, we successfully tested such system with anticipated full adoption by 2020. We are continuing to further
remediate the material weakness identified above as its resources permit.
A
control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control
system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints
and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems,
no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
Failure of our internal control systems to prevent error or fraud could materially adversely impact us, could lead to restatements
of our financial statements and investors not being able to rely on the completeness and accuracy of the financial information
contained in our filings with the SEC, and could potentially subject us to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory
authorities or stockholder litigation. Any such failure could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial
information or our ongoing ability to meet SEC filing deadlines, which likely would adversely affect the value of our Common Stock
and severely limit or even eliminate the prospects for our success in obtaining new capital.
Our
charter documents and Delaware law could prevent a takeover that stockholders consider favorable and could also reduce the market
price of our Common Stock.
Our
amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (“Certificate of Incorporation”), and our Bylaws contain
provisions that could delay or prevent a change in control of our Company. These provisions could also make it more difficult
for stockholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions. These provisions include:
|
●
|
authorizing
the Board to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock with rights senior to those of our Common Stock;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
limiting the persons
who may call special meetings of stockholders; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
requiring advance
notification of stockholder nominations and proposals.
|
In
addition, the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL govern us. These provisions may prohibit large stockholders, in particular
those owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock, from merging or combining with us for a certain period of time without
the consent of our Board.
These
and other provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws and under Delaware law could discourage potential takeover
attempts, reduce the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Common Stock and result in the
market price of our Common Stock being lower than it would be without these provisions.
If
securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business or our market, or
if they change their recommendations regarding our Common Stock adversely, our share price and trading volume could decline.
The
trading market for our shares of Common Stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts
may publish about us, our business, our market or our competitors. If any of the analysts who may cover us change their recommendation
regarding our Common Stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, our share price
would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover us were to cease coverage of our Company or fail to regularly publish reports
on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our Common Stock price or trading volume to
decline.
Although
certain technical problems experienced by users may not be caused by our products, our business and reputation may be harmed if
users perceive our solutions as the cause of a slow or unreliable network connection, or a high-profile network failure.
We
expect that our products will be in many different locations and user environments and will be capable of providing transmission
of video, mobile broadband connectivity and interference mitigation, among other applications. The ability of our products to
operate effectively can be negatively impacted by many different elements unrelated to our products. Although certain technical
problems experienced by users may not be caused by our products, users often may perceive the underlying cause to be a result
of poor performance of our technology. This perception, even if incorrect, could harm our business and reputation. Similarly,
a high-profile network failure may be caused by improper operation of the network or failure of a network component that we did
not supply, but other service providers may perceive that our products were implicated, which, even if incorrect, could harm our
business, operating results and financial condition.
Our
ability to sell our products will be highly dependent on the quality of our support and services offerings, and our failure to
offer high-quality support and services would have a material adverse effect on our sales and results of operations.
Once
our products are deployed, our channel partners and end-customers will depend on our support organization to resolve any issues
relating to our products. A high level of support will be important for the successful marketing and sale of our products. In
many cases, our channel partners will likely provide support directly to our end-customers. We will not have complete control
over the level or quality of support provided by our channel partners. These channel partners may also provide support for other
third-party products, which may potentially distract resources from support for our products. If we and our channel partners do
not effectively assist our end-customers in deploying our products, succeed in helping our end-customers quickly resolve post-deployment
issues or provide effective ongoing support, our ability to sell our products to existing end-customers could be adversely affected
and our reputation with potential end-customers could be harmed. In some cases, we guarantee a certain level of performance to
our channel partners and end-customers, which could prove to be resource-intensive and expensive for us to fulfill if unforeseen
technical problems were to arise.
We
may fail to recruit and retain qualified personnel.
We
expect to rapidly expand our operations and grow our sales, development and administrative operations. This expansion is expected
to place a significant strain on our management and will require hiring a significant number of qualified personnel. Accordingly,
recruiting and retaining such personnel in the future will be critical to our success. There is intense competition from other
companies for qualified personnel in the areas of our activities. If we fail to identify, attract, retain and motivate these highly
skilled personnel, we may be unable to continue our marketing and development activities, and this could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.
We
rely on key executive officers, and their knowledge of our business and technical expertise would be difficult to replace.
We
are highly dependent on our executive officers because of their expertise and experience in the telecommunications industry. We
have agreements with our executive officers containing customary non-disclosure, non-compete, confidentiality and assignment of
inventions provisions. We do not have “key person” life insurance policies for any of our officers. The loss of the
technical knowledge and management and industry expertise of any of our key personnel could result in delays in product development,
loss of customers and sales and diversion of management resources, which could adversely affect our operating results.
We
purchase some components, subassemblies and products from a limited number of suppliers. The loss of any of these suppliers may
substantially disrupt our ability to obtain orders and fulfill sales as we design and qualify new components.
We
sometimes rely on third party components and technology to build and operate our products, and, until full integration with IMT
and VCS, we may rely on our contract manufacturers to obtain the components, subassemblies and products necessary for the manufacture
of our products. Shortages in components that we use in our products are possible, and our ability to predict the availability
of such components is limited. While components and supplies are generally available from a variety of sources, we and our contract
manufacturers currently depend on a single or limited number of suppliers for several components for our products. If our suppliers
of these components or technology were to enter into exclusive relationships with other providers of wireless networking equipment
or were to discontinue providing such components and technology to us and we were unable to replace them cost effectively, or
at all, our ability to provide our products would be impaired. We and our contract manufacturers generally rely on purchase orders
rather than long-term contracts with these suppliers. As a result, even if available, we and our contract manufacturers may not
be able to secure sufficient components at reasonable prices or of acceptable quality to build our products in a timely manner.
Therefore, we may be unable to meet customer demand for our products, which would have a material adverse effect on our business,
operating results and financial condition.
We
do not have long-term contracts with our existing contract manufacturers. The loss of any of our existing contract manufacturers
could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
We
do not have long-term contracts with our existing contract manufacturers. If any of our existing contract manufacturers are unable
or unwilling to manufacture our products in the future, the loss of such contract manufacturers could have a material adverse
effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Our
intellectual property protections may be insufficient to properly safeguard our technology.
Our
success and ability to compete effectively are, in large part, dependent upon proprietary technology that we have developed internally.
Given the rapid pace of innovation and technological change within the wireless and broadband industries, the technological and
creative skill of our personnel, consultants and contractors and their ability to develop, enhance and market new products and
upgrades to existing products are critical to our continued success. We rely primarily on patent laws to protect our proprietary
rights. As of April 30, 2020, in the United States, we have 43 patents granted, no patent applications pending and no provisional
applications pending. Internationally, we have 16 patents granted and no patent applications pending. There can be no assurance
that patents pending or future patent applications will be issued, or that if issued, we would have the resources to protect any
such issued patent from infringement. Further, we cannot patent much of the technology that is important to our business. To date,
we have relied on copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality procedures, non-compete and/or work for
hire invention assignment agreements and licensing arrangements with our employees, consultants, contractors, customers and vendors,
to establish and protect our rights to this technology and, to the best extent possible, control the access to and distribution
of our technology, software, documentation and other proprietary information. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for
a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use this technology without authorization. Policing unauthorized use of this technology
is difficult. There can be no assurance that the steps that we take or will take will prevent misappropriation of, or prevent
an unauthorized third party from obtaining or using, the technology we rely on. In addition, effective protection may be unavailable
or limited in some jurisdictions. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce or protect our rights.
We
may be subject to claims of intellectual property infringement or invalidity. Expenses incurred with respect to monitoring, protecting,
and defending our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our business.
Competitors
and others may infringe on our intellectual property rights, or may allege that we have infringed on theirs. Monitoring infringement
and misappropriation of intellectual property can be difficult and expensive, and we may not be able to detect infringement or
misappropriation of our proprietary rights. We may also incur significant litigation expenses in protecting our intellectual property
or defending our use of intellectual property, reducing our ability to fund product initiatives. These expenses could have an
adverse effect on our future cash flows and results of operations. If we are found to infringe on the rights of others we could
be required to discontinue offering certain products or systems, to pay damages, or purchase a license to use the intellectual
property in question from its owner. Litigation can also distract management from the day-to-day operations of the business.
Enforcement
of our intellectual property rights abroad, particularly in China, is limited and it is often difficult to protect and enforce
such rights.
Patent
protection outside the United States is generally not as comprehensive as in the United States and may not protect our intellectual
property in some countries where our products are sold or may be sold in the future. Even if patents are granted outside the United
States, effective enforcement in those countries may not be available. Many companies have encountered substantial intellectual
property infringement in countries where we sell, or intend to sell, products or have our products manufactured.
In
particular, the legal regime relating to intellectual property rights in China is limited and it is often difficult to protect
and enforce such rights. The regulatory scheme for enforcing China’s intellectual property laws may not be as developed
as regulatory schemes in other countries. Any advancement of an intellectual property enforcement claim through China’s
regulatory scheme may require an extensive amount of time, allowing intellectual property infringers to continue largely unimpeded,
to our commercial detriment in the Chinese and other export markets. In addition, rules of evidence may be unclear, inconsistent
or difficult to comply with, making it difficult to prove infringement of our intellectual property rights. As a result, enforcement
cases involving technology, such as copyright infringement of software code, or unauthorized manufacture or sale of products containing
patented inventions, may be difficult or not possible to sustain.
These
factors may make it increasingly complicated for us to enforce our intellectual property rights against parties misappropriating
or copying our technology or products without our authorization, allowing competing enterprises to harm our business in the Chinese
or other export markets by affecting the pricing for our products, reducing our own sales and diluting our brand or product quality
reputation.
The
intellectual property rights of others may prevent us from developing new products or entering new markets.
The
telecommunications industry is characterized by the rapid development of new technologies, which requires us to continuously introduce
new products and expand into new markets that may be created. Therefore, our success depends in part on our ability to continually
adapt our products and systems to incorporate new technologies and to expand into markets that may be created by new technologies.
If technologies are protected by the intellectual property rights of others, including our competitors, we may be prevented from
introducing new products or expanding into new markets created by these technologies. If the intellectual property rights of others
prevent us from taking advantage of innovative technologies, our financial condition, operating results or prospects may be harmed.
Further
impairment charges could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We
are required to test our finite-lived intangible assets for impairment if events occur or circumstances change that would indicate
the remaining net book value of the finite-lived intangible assets might not be recoverable. These events or circumstances could
include a significant change in the business climate, including a significant sustained decline in an entity’s market value,
legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of our business, potential
government actions and other factors. If the fair value of our finite-lived intangible assets is less than their book value in
the future, we could be required to record impairment charges. Although we did not recognize any impairment in 2017 or in 2019,
during 2018, we recognized an asset impairment charge of $413,000 of which included $168,000 related to software development
costs due to our analysis of the net realizable value of our capitalized software costs. The amount of any further impairment
could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on our reported financial results for the period in which the charge
is taken.
We
rely on the availability of third-party licenses. If these licenses are available to us only on less favorable terms or not at
all in the future, our business and operating results would be harmed.
We
have incorporated third-party licensed technology into our products. It may be necessary in the future to renew licenses relating
to various aspects of these products or to seek additional licenses for existing or new products. There can be no assurance that
the necessary licenses will be available on acceptable terms or at all. The inability to obtain certain licenses or other rights,
or to obtain those licenses or rights on favorable terms, or the need to engage in litigation regarding these matters, could result
in delays in product releases until such time, if ever, as equivalent technology could be identified, licensed or developed and
integrated into our products and might have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Moreover, the inclusion in our products of intellectual property licensed from third parties on a nonexclusive basis could limit
our ability to protect our proprietary rights in our products.
Our
customers could also become the target of litigation relating to the patent and other intellectual property rights of others.
Any
litigation relating to the intellectual property rights of others could trigger technical support and indemnification obligations
in licenses or customer agreements that we may enter into. These obligations could result in substantial expenses, including the
payment by us of costs and damages relating to claims of intellectual property infringement. In addition to the time and expense
required for us to provide support or indemnification to our customers, any such litigation could disrupt the businesses of our
customers, which in turn could hurt our relationships with such customers and cause the sale of our products to decrease. No assurance
can be given that claims for indemnification will not be made, or that if made, such claims would not have a material adverse
effect on our business, operating results or financial conditions.
We
expect to base our inventory purchasing decisions on our forecasts of customers’ demand, and if our forecasts are inaccurate,
our operating results could be materially harmed.
As
our customer base increases, we expect to place orders with our contract manufacturers based on our forecasts of our customers’
demand. Our forecasts will be based on multiple assumptions, each of which may cause our estimates to be inaccurate, affecting
our ability to provide products to our customers. When demand for our products increases significantly, we may not be able to
meet demand on a timely basis, and we may need to expend a significant amount of time working with our customers to allocate limited
supply and maintain positive customer relations, or we may incur additional costs in order to rush the manufacture and delivery
of additional products. If we underestimate customers’ demand, we may forego revenue opportunities, lose market share and
damage our customer relationships. Conversely, if we overestimate customer demand, we may purchase more inventory than we are
able to sell at any given time or at all. In addition, we grant our distributors stock rotation rights, which require us to accept
stock back from a distributor’s inventory, including obsolete inventory. As a result of our failure to properly estimate
demand for our products, we could have excess or obsolete inventory, resulting in a decline in the value of our inventory, which
would increase our costs of revenues and reduce our liquidity. Our failure to accurately manage inventory relative to demand would
adversely affect our operating results.
If
our technology does not work as well as planned or if we are unsuccessful in developing and selling new products or in penetrating
new markets, our business and operating results would suffer.
Our
success and ability to compete are dependent on technology which we have developed or may develop in the future. There is a risk
that the technology that we have developed or may develop may not work as intended, or that the marketing of the technology may
not be as successful as anticipated. Further, the markets in which we and our customers compete or plan to compete are characterized
by constantly and rapidly changing technologies and technological obsolescence. Our ability to compete successfully depends on
our ability to design, develop, manufacture, assemble, test, market and support new products and enhancements on a timely and
cost-effective basis to keep pace with market needs and satisfy the demands of customers. A fundamental shift in technologies
in any of our target markets could harm our competitive position within these markets. Our failure to anticipate these shifts,
to develop new technologies or to react to changes in existing technologies could materially delay our development of new products,
which could result in product obsolescence, decreased revenue and a loss of customer wins to our competitors. The development
of new technologies and products generally require substantial investment and can require long development and testing periods
before they are commercially viable. We intend to continue to make substantial investments in developing new technologies and
products and it is possible that that we may not successfully be able to develop or acquire new products or product enhancements
that compete effectively within our target markets or differentiate our products based on functionality, performance or cost and
that our new technologies and products will not result in meaningful revenue. Any delays in developing and releasing new or enhanced
products could cause us to lose revenue opportunities and customers. Any technical flaws in product releases could diminish the
innovative impact of our products and have a negative effect on customer adoption and our reputation. If we fail to introduce
new products that meet the demands of our customers or target markets or do not achieve market acceptance, or if we fail to penetrate
new markets, our revenue will not increase over time and our operating results and competitive position would suffer.
Computer
malware, viruses, hacking and phishing attacks could harm our business and results of operations.
Computer
malware, viruses, and computer hacking and phishing attacks have become more prevalent in our industry and may occur on our systems
in the future. Though it is difficult to determine what, if any, harm may directly result from any specific interruption or attack,
any failure to maintain performance, reliability, security, and availability of our products and technical infrastructure to the
satisfaction of our users may harm our reputation and our ability to attract and retain customers.
If
we do not effectively manage changes in our business, these changes could place a significant strain on our management and operations.
Our
ability to grow successfully requires an effective planning and management process. The expansion and growth of our business could
place a significant strain on our management systems, infrastructure and other resources. To manage our growth successfully, we
must continue to improve and expand our systems and infrastructure in a timely and efficient manner. Our controls, systems, procedures
and resources may not be adequate to support a changing and growing company. If our management fails to respond effectively to
changes and growth in our business, including acquisitions, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and future prospects.
If
our estimates relating to our critical accounting policies are based on assumptions or judgments that change or prove to be incorrect,
our operating results could fall below expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in our stock
price.
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to
make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances,
the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and
expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our operating results may be adversely affected if our assumptions
change or if actual circumstances differ from those in our assumptions, which could cause our operating results to fall below
the expectations of financial analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in our stock price. Management makes estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the
financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions include reserves and write-downs related to receivables and inventories,
the recoverability of long-lived assets, the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets, valuation
of equity and derivative instruments, and debt discounts and the valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired by us.
Our
exposure to the credit risks of our customers may make it difficult to collect accounts receivable and could adversely affect
our operating results and financial condition.
In
the course of our sales to customers, we may encounter difficulty collecting accounts receivable and could be exposed to risks
associated with uncollectible accounts receivable. Economic conditions may impact some of our customers’ ability to pay
their accounts payable. While we will attempt to monitor these situations carefully and attempt to take appropriate measures to
collect accounts receivable balances, we have written down accounts receivable and written off doubtful accounts in prior periods
and may be unable to avoid accounts receivable write-downs or write-offs of doubtful accounts in the future. Such write-downs
or write-offs could negatively affect our operating results for the period in which they occur.
Demand
for our defense-related products and products for emergency response services depends on government spending.
The
U.S. military market is largely dependent upon government budgets, particularly the defense budget. The funding of government
programs is subject to Congressional appropriation. Although multi-year contracts may be authorized in connection with major procurements,
Congress generally appropriates funds on a fiscal year basis even though a program may be expected to continue for several years.
Consequently, programs are often only partially funded and additional funds are committed only as Congress makes further appropriations.
No assurance can be given that an increase in defense spending will be allocated to programs that would benefit our business.
A decrease in levels of defense spending or the government’s termination of, or failure to fully fund, one or more of the
contracts for which our products may be utilized could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of
operations.
In
addition, the sale of our products to local municipalities for emergency response services depends on government spending allocated
to such areas. There can be no assurance that government spending will be allocated to emergency response services at a level
that would benefit our business. A decrease in levels of government spending for emergency response services, or the government’s
termination of, or failure to fully fund, one or more of the contracts for which our products may be utilized with respect to
emergency response services, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
Our
failure to obtain and maintain required certifications could impair our ability to bid on defense contracts.
In
order for us to participate in certain government programs we could be required to obtain and maintain quality certification and
certain standards for Department of Defense wireless security such as certification by the Joint Interoperability and Test Command
and to meet production standards in order to be eligible to bid on government contracts. If we fail to maintain these certifications
or any additional certification which may be required, we will be ineligible to bid for contracts which may impair our financial
operations and consequently, our ability to continue in business.
Regulation
of the telecommunications industry could harm our operating results and future prospects.
The
traditional telecommunications industry is highly regulated, and our business and financial condition could be adversely affected
by changes in regulations relating to the Internet telecommunications industry. Currently, there are few laws or regulations that
apply directly to access to or commerce on intellectual property networks, but future regulations could include sales taxes and
tariffs in previously unregulated areas and provider access charges. We could be adversely affected by regulation of intellectual
property networks and commerce in any country where we market equipment and services to service or content providers. Regulations
governing the range of services and business models that can be offered by service providers or content providers could adversely
affect those customers’ needs for products designed to enable a wide range of such services or business models. For instance,
the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) has issued regulations governing aspects of fixed broadband networks
and wireless networks. These regulations might impact service provider and content provider business models and as such, providers’
needs for Internet telecommunications equipment and services. In addition, many jurisdictions are evaluating or implementing regulations
relating to cyber security, privacy and data protection, which could affect the market and requirements for networking and security
equipment.
In
addition, environmental regulations relevant to electronic equipment manufacturing or operations may impact our business and financial
condition adversely. For instance, the European Union has adopted regulations on Electronic waste, e-waste, e-scrap, or waste
electrical and electronic equipment, Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances and Registration, Evaluation, Authorization
and Restriction of Chemicals. Furthermore, some governments have regulations prohibiting government entities from purchasing security
products that do not meet specified indigenous certification criteria even though those criteria may be in conflict with accepted
international standards. Similar regulations are in effect or under consideration in several jurisdictions where we do business.
The
adoption and implementation of such regulations could decrease demand for our products, increase the cost of building and selling
our products and impact our ability to ship products into affected areas and recognize revenue in a timely manner. Any of these
impacts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Risks
Relating to Our Industry
Our
industry is subject to rapid technological change, and we must make substantial investments in new products, services and technologies
to compete successfully.
New
technological innovations generally require a substantial investment before they are commercially viable. We intend to continue
to make substantial investments in developing new products and technologies, and it is possible that our development efforts will
not be successful and that our new technologies will not result in meaningful revenues. Our future success will depend on our
ability to continue to develop and introduce new products, technologies and enhancements on a timely basis. Our future success
will also depend on our ability to keep pace with technological developments, protect our intellectual property, satisfy customer
requirements, meet customer expectations, price our products and services competitively and achieve market acceptance. The introduction
of products embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards could render our existing products and technologies,
and products and technologies currently under development, obsolete and unmarketable. If we fail to anticipate or respond adequately
to technological developments or customer requirements, or experience any significant delays in development, introduction or shipment
of our products and technologies in commercial quantities, demand for our products and our customers’ and licensees’
products that use our technologies could decrease, and our competitive position could be damaged.
We
may be subject to infringement claims in the future.
We
may be unaware of filed patent applications and issued patents that could include claims covering our products. Parties making
claims of infringement may be able to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief that could effectively block our ability to
sell or supply our products or license our technology and could cause us to pay substantial royalties, licensing fees or damages.
The defense of any lawsuit could divert management’s efforts and attention from ordinary business operations and result
in time-consuming and expensive litigation, regardless of the merits of such claims. These outcomes may (i) require us to stop
selling products or using technology that contains the allegedly infringing intellectual property; (ii) require us to redesign
those products that contain the allegedly infringing intellectual property; (iii) require us to pay substantial damages to the
party whose intellectual property rights we may be found to be infringing; (iv) result in the loss of existing customers or prohibit
the acquisition of new customers; (v) cause us to attempt to obtain a license to the relevant intellectual property from third
parties, which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all; (vi) materially and adversely affect our brand in the market
place and cause a substantial loss of goodwill; (vii) cause our stock price to decline significantly; (viii) materially and adversely
affect our liquidity, including our ability to pay debts and other obligations as they become due; or (ix) lead to our bankruptcy
or liquidation.
Our
industry is highly competitive and we may not be able to compete effectively.
The
communications industry is highly competitive, rapidly evolving, and subject to constant technological change. We expect that
new competitors are likely to join existing competitors. Many of our competitors may be larger and have greater financial, technical,
operational, marketing and other resources and experience than we do. In the event that a competitor expends significant resources,
we may not be able to successfully compete. In addition, the pace of technological change makes it impossible for us to predict
whether we will face new competitors using different technologies to provide products. If our competitors were to provide better
and more cost-effective products than our products we may not be able to capture any significant market share.
Regulation
of Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) services is developing and therefore uncertain and future legislative, regulatory
or judicial actions could adversely affect our business.
VoIP
services have developed in an environment largely free from government regulation. However, the United States and other countries
have begun to assert regulatory authority over VoIP and are continuing to evaluate how VoIP will be regulated in the future. Both
the application of existing rules to us and our prospective customers and the effects of future regulatory developments are uncertain.
Future legislative, judicial or other regulatory actions could have a negative effect on our business. In addition, future regulatory
developments could increase our cost of doing business and limit its growth.
New
regulations or standards or changes in existing regulations or standards in the United States or internationally related to our
products may result in unanticipated costs or liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results
of operations and future sales, and could place additional burdens on the operations of our business.
Our
products may be subject to governmental regulations in a variety of jurisdictions. In order to achieve and maintain market acceptance,
our technology and products will have to comply with these regulations as well as a significant number of industry standards.
In the United States, our technology and products will have to comply with various regulations defined by the FCC and others.
We may also have to comply with similar international regulations. For example, our wireless communication products operate through
the transmission of radio signals, and radio emissions are subject to regulation in the United States and in other countries in
which we intend to do business. In the United States, various federal agencies including the Center for Devices and Radiological
Health of the Food and Drug Administration, the FCC, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and various state agencies
have promulgated regulations that concern the use of radio/electromagnetic emissions standards. Member countries of the European
Union have enacted similar standards concerning electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility and emissions, and chemical
substances and use standards.
As
these regulations and standards evolve, and if new regulations or standards are implemented, we may be required to modify our
technology or products or develop and support new versions of our technology or products, and our compliance with these regulations
and standards may become more burdensome. The failure of technology or our products to comply, or delays in compliance, with the
various existing and evolving industry regulations and standards could prevent or delay introduction of our technology or products,
which could harm our business. End-customer uncertainty regarding future policies may also affect demand for communications products,
including our products. Moreover, channel partners or end-customers may require us, or we may otherwise deem it necessary or advisable,
to alter our technology or products to address actual or anticipated changes in the regulatory environment. Our inability to alter
our technology or products to address these requirements and any regulatory changes may have a material adverse effect on our
business, operating results and financial condition.
Compliance
with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including new regulations requiring higher standards, may increase
our costs, limit our ability to utilize supply chains, and force design changes to our products.
Our
operations are subject to a variety of environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and equivalent local, state, and
regulatory agencies in each of the jurisdictions in which we currently operate or may operate in the future. The manufacturing
of our products uses substances regulated under various federal, state, local laws and regulations governing the environment and
worker health and safety. If we, including any contract manufacturers that we may employ, do not comply with these laws including
any new regulations, such non-compliance could reduce the net realizable value of our products, which would result in an immediate
charge to our income statements. Our non-compliance with such laws could also negatively impact our operations and financial position
as a result of fines, penalties that may be imposed on us, and increase the cost of mandated remediation or delays to any contract
manufacturers we may utilize, thus we may suffer a loss of revenues, be unable to sell our products in certain markets and/or
countries, be subject to penalties and enforced fees and/or suffer a competitive disadvantage. Costs to comply with current laws
and regulations and/or similar future laws and regulations, if applicable, could include costs associated with modifying our products,
recycling and other waste processing costs, legal and regulatory costs and insurance costs. We cannot assure you that the costs
to comply with these new laws or with current and future environmental and worker health and safety laws will not have a material
adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Governmental
regulations affecting the import or export of products or affecting products containing encryption capabilities could negatively
affect our revenues.
The
United States and various foreign governments have imposed controls, export license requirements, and restrictions on the import
or export of some technologies, especially encryption technology. In addition, from time to time, governmental agencies have proposed
additional regulation of encryption technology, such as requiring certification, notifications, review of source code, or the
escrow and governmental recovery of private encryption keys. For example, Russia and China recently have implemented new requirements
relating to products containing encryption and India has imposed special warranty and other obligations associated with technology
deemed critical. Governmental regulation of encryption or IP networking technology and regulation of imports or exports, or our
failure to obtain required import or export approval for our products, could harm our international and domestic sales prospects
and adversely affect our revenue expectation. In addition, failure to comply with such regulations could result in penalties,
costs, and restrictions on import or export privileges or adversely affect sales to government agencies or government funded projects.
If
wireless devices pose safety risks, we may be subject to new regulations, and demand for our products and those of our licensees
and customers may decrease.
Concerns
over the effects of radio frequency emissions, even if unfounded, may have the effect of discouraging the use of wireless devices,
which may decrease demand for our products and those of our licensees and customers. In recent years, the FCC and foreign regulatory
agencies have updated the guidelines and methods they use for evaluating radio frequency emissions from radio equipment, including
wireless phones and other wireless devices. In addition, interest groups have requested that the FCC investigate claims that wireless
communication technologies pose health concerns and cause interference with airbags, hearing aids and medical devices. Concerns
have also been expressed over the possibility of safety risks due to a lack of attention associated with the use of wireless devices
while driving. Any legislation that may be adopted in response to these expressions of concern could reduce demand for our products
and those of our licensees and customers in the United States as well as foreign countries.
SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement, and the
documents that we reference herein and therein and have filed as exhibits to the registration statement, include forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, that relate to future
events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause
our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, levels of activity,

We
may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not
place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should be regarded solely as our current plans,
estimates and beliefs. We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in this document, particularly
in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 7 of this prospectus that we believe could cause actual
results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive
and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks,
nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may
cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. Given these risks
and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements
are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact
of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make. You should read this prospectus
and the documents that we have filed as exhibits to this prospectus and incorporated by reference herein, and any accompanying
prospectus supplement and the documents that we reference herein and therein and have filed as exhibits to the registration statement,
completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from the plans, intentions and
expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements that we make. The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus,
and in any such supplements and documents are made as of the date of this prospectus, supplement and documents, and we do not
assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise,
except as required by applicable law.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
Except
as otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities
offered by this prospectus for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The
intended application of the proceeds from the sale of any particular offering of securities using this prospectus will be described
in the accompanying prospectus supplement relating to such offering. The precise amount and timing of the application of these
proceeds will depend on our funding requirements and the availability and costs of other funds.
THE
SECURITIES THAT WE MAY OFFER
The
descriptions of our securities contained in this prospectus, together with the applicable prospectus supplements, summarize all
of the material terms and provisions of the various types of securities that we may offer. We will describe in the applicable
prospectus supplement relating to any securities the particular terms of such securities offered by that prospectus supplement.
If we indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, the terms of such securities may differ from the terms that we have summarized
below. We will also include in the prospectus supplement information, where applicable, about material United States federal income
tax considerations relating to such securities, and the securities exchange, if any, on which such securities will be listed.
We
may sell from time to time, in one or more offerings, either individually or in any combination:
|
●
|
shares
of our Common Stock;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
shares of our Preferred
Stock;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
warrants to purchase
any of the securities listed above; and/or
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
units consisting
of any of the securities listed above.
|
The
terms of any securities that we offer will be determined at the time of sale. We may issue securities that are exchangeable for
or convertible into Common Stock or any of the other securities that may be sold under this prospectus. When particular securities
are offered, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed with the SEC, which will describe the terms of the offering and sale
of the offered securities.
DESCRIPTION
OF COMMON STOCK
The
following description of our Common Stock and certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws are summaries
and are qualified by reference to our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. Such summaries do not purport to be complete and
are qualified in their entirety by reference to the DGCL, as well as copies of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, which
have been filed as exhibits to prior reports filed by us with the SEC and are incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
Common
Stock
We
are authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As of April 30, 2020, there were 88,239,062 shares of our Common
Stock issued and outstanding. The outstanding shares of our Common Stock are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
On
May 13, 2019, a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of our outstanding Common Stock became effective for the trading of our Common Stock.
All share and price information in this prospectus has been adjusted to reflect such 1-for-10 reverse stock split.
Voting
Rights
Each
stockholder has one vote for each share of Common Stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. A stockholder
may vote in person or by proxy. Elections of directors are determined by a plurality of the votes cast and all other matters are
decided by a majority of the votes cast by those holders of shares of stock outstanding and who are entitled to vote. Because
our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights, stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of our shares of Common
Stock will be able to elect all of our directors. Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that stockholder actions
may be effected at a duly called meeting of stockholders or pursuant to written consent of the majority of stockholders. A special
meeting of stockholders may be called by the majority of our board of directors or by a committee determined by our board of directors
with power to call such meetings.
Dividend
Rights
The
holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available at the times and
in the amounts that our board of directors may determine, provided that required dividends, if any, on Preferred Stock have been
paid or provided for. However, to date we have not paid or declared cash distributions or dividends on our Common Stock and do
not currently intend to pay cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain all earnings, if
and when generated, to finance our operations. The declaration of cash dividends in the future will be determined by the board
of directors based upon our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other relevant factors.
No
Preemptive or Similar Rights
Holders
of our Common Stock do not have preemptive rights, and our Common Stock is not convertible or redeemable.
Right
to Receive Liquidation Distributions
Upon
our dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, the assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders and remaining after
payment to holders of Preferred Stock of the amounts, if any, to which they are entitled, are distributable ratably among the
holders of our Common Stock subject to any senior class of securities.
Transfer
Agent and Registrar
Our
transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock in the United States is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Our
Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “VISL”.
DESCRIPTION
OF PREFERRED STOCK
The
following description of our Preferred Stock and certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws are summaries
and are qualified by reference to our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. Such summaries do not purport to be complete and
are qualified in their entirety by reference to the DGCL, as well as copies of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, which
have been filed as exhibits to prior reports filed by us with the SEC and are incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
Preferred
Stock
We
are authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” Preferred Stock. Shares of our Preferred Stock may
be issued in series, and each such series shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations,
preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof,
as shall be stated and expressed in the certificate of designations relating to such series, as approved by our board of directors
and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Our board of directors is expressly vested with the authority
to determine and fix in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuances of Preferred Stock, the voting powers, designations,
preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof of each such series to the full extent now
or hereafter permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware.
Of
such 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” Preferred Stock that we are authorized to issue, 5,000,000 of such shares
were designated as our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”)
and 5,000 shares were designated as our Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Series
E Preferred Stock”). On February 5, 2016, we terminated our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per
share, and our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share. On December 6, 2016, we terminated our Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share. As of April 30, 2020, we have no shares of Series D Preferred Stock
outstanding and no shares of Series E Preferred Stock outstanding.
Terms
of the Preferred Stock That We May Offer and Sell to You
We
summarize below some of the provisions that will apply to the Preferred Stock that we may offer to you unless the applicable prospectus
supplement provides otherwise. This summary may not contain all information that is important to you. You should read the prospectus
supplement, which will contain additional information and which may update or change some of the information below. Prior to the
issuance of any new series of Preferred Stock, we will further amend our Certificate of Incorporation by way of a certificate
of designations designating such series and setting forth its terms. We will file the certificate of designations that contains
the terms of each new series of Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and we will file a copy
of the certificate of designation with the SEC, each time we designate a new series of Preferred Stock. Each certificate of designation
will establish the number of shares included in a designated series and fix the designation, powers, privileges, preferences and
rights of the shares of each series as well as any applicable qualifications, limitations or restrictions. You should refer to
our Certificate of Incorporation, including the applicable certificate of designation relating to such series of Preferred Stock
and all other then-effective certificates of designations, before deciding to buy shares of any series of our Preferred Stock
as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Our
board of directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue Preferred Stock in one or more series
and to fix the number of shares, dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights, liquidation preferences,
sinking funds, and any other rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions applicable to each such series of Preferred Stock.
The
issuance of any Preferred Stock could adversely affect the rights of the holders of Common Stock and, therefore, reduce the value
of the Common Stock. The ability of our board of directors to issue Preferred Stock could discourage, delay or prevent a takeover
or other corporate action.
The
terms of any particular series of Preferred Stock will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to that particular series
of Preferred Stock, including, where applicable:
|
●
|
the
designation, stated value and liquidation preference of such Preferred Stock;
|
|

the
number of shares within such series;

|
|
●
|
any redemption or
sinking fund provisions;
|

|
|

if any, on which shares of such series shall be convertible or exchangeable for shares of our capital stock of any other class
or classes, or other series of the same class;

|
the voting rights,
if any, of shares of such series; the status as to reissuance or sale of shares of such series redeemed, purchased, or otherwise

|
|
●
|
the conditions and
restrictions, if any, on the payment of dividends or on the making of other distributions on, or the purchase, redemption
or other acquisition by us or any subsidiary, of the common stock or of any other class of our shares ranking junior to the
shares of such series as to dividends or upon liquidation;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the conditions and
restrictions, if any, on the creation of indebtedness by us or by any subsidiary, or on the issuance of any additional stock
ranking on a parity with or prior to the shares of such series as to dividends or upon liquidation; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
any additional dividend,
liquidation, redemption, sinking or retirement fund and other rights, preferences, privileges, limitations and restrictions
of such Preferred Stock.

The
description of the terms of a particular series of Preferred Stock in the applicable prospectus supplement will not be complete.

DESCRIPTION
OF WARRANTS
The
following description, together with the additional information that we may include in any applicable prospectus supplements,
summarizes the material terms and provisions of the warrants that we may offer under this prospectus and the related warrant agreements
and warrant certificates. While the terms summarized below will apply generally to any warrants that we may offer, we will describe
the particular terms of any series of warrants in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. If we indicate in the prospectus
supplement, the terms of any warrants offered under that prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below. If there
are differences between that prospectus supplement and this prospectus, the prospectus supplement will control. Thus, the statements
we make in this section may not apply to a particular series of warrants. Specific warrant agreements will contain additional
important terms and provisions and will be incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement which includes
this prospectus.
General
We
may issue warrants for the purchase of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock in one or more series. We may issue warrants independently
or together with Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock, and the warrants may be attached to or separate from these securities.
We
will evidence each series of warrants by warrant certificates that we may issue under a separate agreement. We may enter into
the warrant agreement with a warrant agent. Each warrant agent may be a bank that we select which has its principal office in
the United States and a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000. We may also choose to act as our own warrant
agent. We will indicate the name and address of any such warrant agent in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular
series of warrants.
We
will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of warrants, including:
|
●
|
the
offering price and aggregate number of warrants offered;
|
|
|

applicable, the designation and terms of the securities with which the warrants are issued and the number of warrants
issued with each such security or each principal amount of such security;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
if applicable, the
date on and after which the warrants and the related securities will be separately transferable;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
in the case of warrants
to purchase Common Stock or Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be,
purchasable upon the exercise of one warrant and the price at which these shares may be purchased upon such exercise;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the warrant agreement
under which the warrants will be issued;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
effect of any merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition of our business on the warrant agreement
and
the warrants;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
anti-dilution provisions
of the warrants, if any;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the terms of any
rights to redeem or call the warrants;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
any provisions for
changes to or adjustments in the exercise price or number of securities issuable upon exercising the warrants;
|
|
●
|
the
manner in which the warrant agreement and warrants may be modified;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the identities of
the warrant agent and any calculation or other agent for the warrants;

any securities exchange
or quotation system on which the warrants or any securities deliverable upon exercise of the warrants may be listed; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
any other specific
terms, preferences, rights or limitations of or restrictions on the warrants.
|
Before
exercising their warrants, holders of warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the securities purchasable upon such
exercise, including in the case of warrants to purchase Common Stock or Preferred Stock, the right to receive dividends, if any,
or, payments upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up or to exercise voting rights, if any.
Exercise
of Warrants
Each
warrant will entitle the holder to purchase the securities that we specify in the applicable prospectus supplement at the exercise
price that we describe in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement,
holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants at any time up to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the expiration date that we set
forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become
void.
Holders
of the warrants may exercise the warrants by delivering the warrant certificate representing the warrants to be exercised together
with specified information, and paying the required amount to the warrant agent in immediately available funds, as provided in
the applicable prospectus supplement. We will set forth on the reverse side of the warrant certificate, and in the applicable
prospectus supplement, the information that the holder of the warrant will be required to deliver to the warrant agent.
Until
the warrant is properly exercised, no holder of any warrant will be entitled to any rights of a holder of the securities purchasable
upon exercise of the warrant.
Upon
receipt of the required payment and the warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office
of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will issue and deliver the securities
purchasable upon such exercise. If fewer than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate are exercised, then we
will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining amount of warrants. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement,
holders of the warrants may surrender securities as all or part of the exercise price for warrants.
Enforceability
of Rights By Holders of Warrants
Any
warrant agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable warrant agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship
of agency or trust with any holder of any warrant. A single bank or trust company may act as warrant agent for more than one issue
of warrants. A warrant agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable warrant agreement
or warrant, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us.
Any holder of a warrant may, without the consent of the related warrant agent or the holder of any other warrant, enforce by appropriate
legal action its right to exercise, and receive the securities purchasable upon exercise of, its warrants in accordance with their
terms.
Calculation
Agent
Calculations
relating to warrants may be made by a calculation agent, an institution that we appoint as our agent for this purpose. The prospectus
supplement for a particular warrant will name the institution that we have appointed to act as the calculation agent for that
warrant as of the original issue date for that warrant. We may appoint a different institution to serve as calculation agent from
time to time after the original issue date without the consent or notification of the holders.
The
calculation agent’s determination of any amount of money payable or securities deliverable with respect to a warrant will
be final and binding in the absence of manifest error.
Governing
Law
Unless
we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the warrants and warrant agreements, and any claim, controversy
or dispute arising under or related to the warrants or warrant agreements, will be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York.
DESCRIPTION
OF UNITS
We
may issue units comprising one or more of the other securities described in this prospectus in any combination. Each unit
will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a
unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued
may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before
a specified date.
The
applicable prospectus supplement will describe:
|
●
|
the
designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances
those securities may be held or transferred separately;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
any unit agreement
under which the units will be issued;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
any provisions for
the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
whether the units
will be issued in fully registered or global form.
|
The
applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any units. The preceding description and any description of units
in the applicable prospectus supplement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the unit agreement and, if applicable, collateral arrangements and depositary arrangements relating to such units.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We
may sell the securities being offered pursuant to this prospectus through underwriters or dealers, through agents, or directly
to one or more purchasers or through a combination of these methods. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms

any discounts or
concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
any securities exchange
or market on which the securities may be listed.

|
|
|

|
●
|

such prevailing market prices; or
|
|
|
|

|
Only
underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement.
If
underwriters are used in an offering, we will execute an underwriting agreement with such underwriters and will specify the name
of each underwriter and the terms of the transaction (including any underwriting discounts and other terms constituting compensation
of the underwriters and any dealers) in a prospectus supplement. The securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting
syndicates represented by managing underwriters or directly by one or more investment banking firms or others, as designated.
If an underwriting syndicate is used, the managing underwriter(s) will be specified on the cover of the prospectus supplement.
If underwriters are used in the sale, the offered securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own accounts and may
be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or
at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed
or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time. Unless otherwise set forth in the prospectus supplement, the obligations
of the underwriters to purchase the offered securities will be subject to conditions precedent and the underwriters will be obligated
to purchase all of the offered securities if any are purchased.
We
may grant to the underwriters options to purchase additional securities to cover over-allotments, if any, at the public offering
price, with additional underwriting commissions or discounts, as may be set forth in a related prospectus supplement. The terms
of any over-allotment option will be set forth in the prospectus supplement for those securities.
If
we use a dealer in the sale of the securities being offered pursuant to this prospectus or any prospectus supplement, we will
sell the securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to
be determined by the dealer at the time of resale. The names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction will be specified
in a prospectus supplement.
We
may sell the securities directly or through agents we designate from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering
and sale of securities and we will describe any commissions we will pay the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus
supplement states otherwise, any agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
We
may authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by institutional investors to purchase securities from us at the public
offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery
on a specified date in the future. We will describe the conditions to these contracts and the commissions we must pay for solicitation
of these contracts in the prospectus supplement.
We
may also sell equity securities covered by this registration statement in an “at the market” offering as defined in
Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act. Such offering may be made into an existing trading market for such securities in transactions
at other than a fixed price on or through the facilities of The Nasdaq Capital Market or any other securities exchange or quotation
or trading service on which such securities may be listed, quoted or traded at the time of sale.
Such
at the market offerings, if any, may be conducted by underwriters acting as principal or agent.
In
connection with the sale of the securities, underwriters, dealers or agents may receive compensation from us or from purchasers
of the securities for whom they act as agents in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. Underwriters may sell the
securities to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions
from the underwriters or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents. Underwriters, dealers and agents that
participate in the distribution of the securities, and any institutional investors or others that purchase securities directly
and then resell the securities, may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts or commissions received by them from us and
any profit on the resale of the securities by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities
Act.
We
may provide agents and underwriters with indemnification against particular civil liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the agents or underwriters may make with respect to such liabilities.
Agents and underwriters may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.
In
addition, we may enter into derivative transactions with third parties (including the writing of options) in privately negotiated
transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with such a transaction, the third parties may,
pursuant to this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable
prospectus supplement. If so, the third party may use securities borrowed from us or others to settle such sales and may use securities
received from us to close out any related short positions. We may also loan or pledge securities covered by this prospectus and
the applicable prospectus supplement to third parties, who may sell the loaned securities or, in an event of default in the case
of a pledge, sell the pledged securities pursuant to this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement. The third party
in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement or in a post-effective
amendment.
To
facilitate an offering of a series of securities, persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize,
maintain, or otherwise affect the market price of the securities. This may include over-allotments or short sales of the securities,
which involves the sale by persons participating in the offering of more securities than have been sold to them by us. In those
circumstances, such persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by purchasing in the open market or by exercising
the over-allotment option granted to those persons. In addition, those persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the securities
by bidding for or purchasing securities in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to
underwriters or dealers participating in any such offering may be reclaimed if securities sold by them are repurchased in connection
with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities
at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at
any time. We make no representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described
above, if implemented, may have on the price of our securities.
All
securities we may offer, other than Common Stock, will be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any agents
or underwriters may make a market in these securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making
at any time without notice. We cannot guarantee the liquidity of the trading markets for any securities. There is currently no
market for any of the offered securities, other than our Common Stock which is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. We have no
current plans for listing of the Preferred Stock, warrants, units or subscription rights on any securities exchange or quotation
system; any such listing with respect to any particular Preferred Stock, warrants, units or subscription rights will be described
in the applicable prospectus supplement or other offering materials, as the case may be. Any underwriters to whom securities are
sold by us for public offering and sale may make a market in the securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do
so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice.
In
order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus will
be sold in those states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states securities 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 complied with.

(Subject to
Completion)

Dated
May 5, 2020
|
Up
To $9,800,000
Common
Stock
On
May 5, 2020, Vislink Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”)
entered into a certain sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“A.G.P.”),
relating to shares of our common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), offered by this prospectus.
In accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement, we may offer and sell shares of our Common Stock having an aggregate offering
price of up to $9,800,000 from time to time through A.G.P.
Our
common stock is quoted on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “VISL.” On April 30, 2020, the last reported
sale price of our Common Stock was $0.34 per share.
Sales
of our Common Stock, if any, under this prospectus may be made in sales deemed to be “at the market offerings” as
defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). If authorized
by us in writing, A.G.P. may also sell shares of our Common Stock in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the
time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices. A.G.P. is not required to sell any specific number or dollar
amount of securities, but will act as a sales agent using commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and
sales practices, on mutually agreed terms between A.G.P. and us. Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, A.G.P. will not sell a number
of shares of Common Stock under this prospectus that would exceed (i) the amount of shares of Common Stock registered under this
registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, or the amount of shares offered under this prospectus, and (ii)
the number of shares of Common Stock authorized to be issued pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, as amended (“Certificate
of Incorporation”). There is no arrangement for funds to be received in any escrow, trust or similar arrangement.
As
of the date of this prospectus supplement, the aggregate market value of our outstanding Common Stock held by non-affiliates was
approximately $29,950,416.06, based on 88,239,062 shares of outstanding Common Stock, of which 149,603 shares are held
by affiliates, and a per share price of $0.34, which represents the closing sale price of our Common Stock on April 30,
2020, which is the highest closing sale price of our Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market within the prior 60 days. As of
the date of this prospectus supplement, we have not offered or sold any Common Stock pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 to
Form S-3 during the 12 calendar month period that ends on and includes the date hereof. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6
of Form S-3, in no event will we sell securities in a public primary offering with a value exceeding more than one-third of our
“public float” (the market value of our Common Stock held by our non-affiliates) in any 12-month period so long as
our public float remains below $75,000,000.
The
compensation to A.G.P. for sales of Common Stock sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement will be equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds
of any shares of Common Stock sold under the Sales Agreement. In connection with the sale of the Common Stock on our behalf, A.G.P.
will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and the compensation of A.G.P. will
be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have also agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to A.G.P.
with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”).
Investing
in our Common Stock involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 7 of this prospectus, and under similar headings
in the other documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus.
Neither
the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or
determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

TABLE
OF CONTENTS
ABOUT
THIS PROSPECTUS
This
prospectus relates to part of a registration statement on Form S-3 that we have filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”), utilizing a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may sell
any combination of the securities described in our base prospectus included in the shelf registration statement in one or more
offerings up to a total aggregate offering price of $100,000,000. The $9,800,000 of shares of Common Stock that may be
offered, issued and sold under this prospectus is included in the $100,000,000 of securities that may be offered, issued
and sold by us pursuant to our shelf registration statement. In connection with such offers and when accompanied by the base prospectus
included in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, this prospectus will be deemed a prospectus supplement
to such base prospectus.
This
prospectus relates to the offering of our Common Stock. Before buying any of the Common Stock that we are offering, we urge you
to carefully read this prospectus, together with the accompanying base prospectus and the information incorporated by reference

by Reference” in this prospectus, and any free writing prospectus or prospectus supplement that we have authorized for use
in connection with this offering. These documents contain important information that you should consider when making your investment
decision.
This
prospectus describes the terms of this offering of Common Stock and also adds to and updates information contained in the documents
incorporated by reference into this prospectus. To the extent there is a conflict between the information contained in this prospectus,
on the one hand, and the information contained in any document incorporated by reference into this prospectus that was filed with
the SEC, before the date of this prospectus, on the other hand, you should rely on the information in this prospectus. If any
statement in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another document having a later date — for example,
a document incorporated by reference into this prospectus — the statement in the document having the later date modifies
or supersedes the earlier statement.
We
have not, and the sales agent has not, authorized anyone to provide you with information different than that contained or incorporated
by reference in this prospectus and any free writing prospectus or prospectus supplement that we have authorized for use in connection
with this offering. We take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information
that others may give you. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference
herein, and in any free writing prospectus or prospectus supplement that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering
is accurate only as of the date of those respective documents. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects
may have changed since those dates. You should read this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference herein, and any free
writing prospectus or prospectus supplement that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering in their entirety
before making an investment decision.
We
are offering to sell, and are seeking offers to buy, the shares only in jurisdictions where such offers and sales are permitted.
The distribution of this prospectus and the offering of the shares in certain jurisdictions or to certain persons within such
jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons outside the United States who come into possession of this prospectus must inform
themselves about and observe any restrictions relating to the offering of the shares of our Common Stock and the distribution
of this prospectus outside the United States. This prospectus does not constitute, and may not be used in connection with, an
offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities offered by this prospectus by any person in any jurisdiction
in which it is unlawful for such person to make such an offer or solicitation.
We
own or have rights to various trademarks, service marks and trade names that we use in connection with the operation of our business.
This prospectus may also contain trademarks, service marks and trade names of third parties, which are the property of their respective
owners. Our use or display of third parties’ trademarks, service marks, trade names or products in this prospectus is not
intended to, and does not imply a relationship with, or endorsement or sponsorship by us. Solely for convenience, the trademarks,
service marks and trade names referred to in this prospectus may appear without the ®, TM or SM symbols, but such references

SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement, and the

PROPSECTUS
SUMMARY
The
following summary is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read together with, the more detailed information and financial
statements and related notes thereto appearing elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Before you decide to
invest in our securities, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the risk factors and the financial statements
and related notes included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus.
Unless
otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, this prospectus includes the accounts of
Vislink
Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, collectively referred to as “we”, “us”,
“our” or the “Company”.
Overview
The
overarching strategy of Vislink Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) is to design, develop and deliver advanced wireless
communications solutions that provide customers in its target markets with enhanced levels of reliability, mobility, performance
and efficiency in their business operations and missions. Prior to April 2019, the Company’s business lines included the
brands and sub-brands of Integrated Microwave Technologies LLC (“IMT”) and Vislink Communication Systems (“Vislink”
or “VCS”). There was considerable brand interaction, owing to complementary market focus, compatible product and technology
development roadmaps, and solution integration opportunities. During the process of merging the respective product and support
offerings across the brands, which began in 2017, the legacy brand names were maintained in markets where strong traditional identification
of them existed.
Effective
February 11, 2019, xG Technology, Inc. changed the name of its corporate entity to Vislink Technologies, Inc. On April 2, 2019,
the Company announced the official global repositioning of its brands to the worldwide market. As part of this rebranding initiative,
the Company united its individual product brands under the single Vislink brand entity. The rebranding also included an updated
visual identity with respect to logos, tag lines, and other graphical elements, and a completely redesigned website. The Company
also redefined its product offerings around three key vertical markets: Live Production, Military/Government (“Mil/Gov”)
and Satellite solutions (“Satellite”).
Technology
Overview
Vislink
manufactures and sells microwave communications equipment utilizing Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (“COFDM”)
technology. COFDM is a transmission technique that combines encoding technology with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
(“OFDM”) modulation to provide the low latency and high image clarity required for real-time live broadcasting video
transmissions. Vislink has extensive experience in ultra-compact COFDM wireless technology, which has allowed the Company to develop
integrated solutions that deliver reliable video footage captured from both aerial and ground-based sources to fixed and mobile
receiver locations. Over the years, Vislink has also been involved in the development of a number of broadcast microwave innovations,
including digital transmission techniques for use over conventional analog links, compact wireless camera systems, lightweight
carbon fiber portable satellite systems, software-defined portable MPEG-2/MPEG-4 (H.264) systems and one of the first wireless
4K ultra high definition camera systems.
Live
Production Market
In
the Live Production market, Vislink provides communication links for the wireless capture, delivery, and management of secure,
high-quality video from live sports, entertainment, and broadcast news events.
Key
segments within the live sports and entertainment sector are sports production, sports venue entertainment systems, movie director
video assist, e-sports and the non-professional user segment. Customers within this market are major domestic and international
professional sports teams, associations and organizations, movie production companies, live video production service providers,
system integrators and a growing segment of drone and unoccupied ground vehicle providers. For this sector, Vislink provides a
range of premium, mid-market and embedded wireless camera systems that include receivers, transmitters, amplifiers, and other
components and accessories.
Customers
within the broadcast news sector include blue-chip, tier-1 major network television stations, both domestic and international
over-the-air broadcasters, multi-channel broadcasters, network owners and station groups and cable and satellite news providers.
For this sector, Vislink designs, develop, and markets solutions to support electronic newsgathering activities from news helicopters
and ground-based news vehicles, camera operations, central receive sites, remote onsite and studio newscasts and live television
events. These solutions include premium digital broadcast microwave video systems, wireless camera systems, portable microwave
systems, and fixed point-to-point systems.
Mil/Gov
Market
The
Mil/Gov market consists of key segments that include state, local and federal law enforcement agencies, branches of domestic armed
forces, an international defense and government agencies and system integrators who serve these markets. Customers within this
market include state police forces, sheriff’s departments, fire departments, first responders, the Department of Justice,
the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Army. The solutions Vislink provides to this market are secure video communications
and mission-critical wireless video solutions for applications, including occupied and unoccupied aerial and ground systems, mobile
and handheld receive systems and transmitters for concealed video surveillance.
Satellite
Market
In
the Satellite market, Vislink is a leading global provider of satellite communication services, with solutions designed for use
in both fixed installations and small, rapidly deployable configurations. Vislink has been supplying satellite communications
solutions for over 30 years, and currently has several thousand terminals in use worldwide. Clients for these solutions include
organizations in broadcast & media, law enforcement, and defense sectors. The solutions that Vislink provides to these sectors
are designed to provide immediate, reliable, and secure video communications under challenging environments and conditions, particularly
in situations where prepositioned infrastructure is unreliable or unavailable. The product range developed for this market features
man-portable satellite communication units, flyaway terminals, vehicle-mounted systems and related modules that enhance performance
and optimize bandwidth.
Our
Strategy
With
our cost reduction initiatives completed in 2019, the plan going forward is to grow the business in the Live Production, Mil/Gov
and Satellite sectors. These industries allow us to offer a broad array of end-to-end, high-reliability, high-data-rate, long-range
wireless video transmission solutions. Our solutions are being used for applications in growing market segments, including in-game
sports video mobile feeds, real-time capture and display of footage from drones and other aerial platforms, and rapid-response
electronic newsgathering operations.
The
key sector strategies are to expand the various markets for existing miniature wireless video products, which include the educational
sector, videographers, and video service providers; introduce complete end-to-end intellectual property technology into traditional
broadcast and media markets; provide complete end-to-end solutions for the video surveillance market, and provide turnkey satellite
communications solutions to address the need for communications in challenging environments.
The
successful integration of the IMT and Vislink product lines, and subsequent rebranding of them as a single entity, has allowed
the Company to leverage the traditional strengths of each brand. We are now able to offer an expanded suite of products and services
in the worldwide markets in which we operate. Integrating the IMT and Vislink product lines has enabled the Company to take advantage
of the limited overlap that previously existed in product offerings, sales channels and market coverage between the two brands.
For example, there was a substantial Vislink client base in international markets where IMT products had a limited presence. Also,
the IMT product portfolio, which was strong among U.S. federal law enforcement and high-end sports broadcasting customers, has
been augmented with additional solutions based on enhanced product configurations. Finally, Vislink has traditionally focused
on licensed spectrum solutions where IMT has pioneered the use of non-licensed spectrum for many applications. Combining our shared
spectrum and interference mitigation intellectual property with the expanded product lineup may provide an opening into new customer
bases that currently do not have access to licensed spectrum.

Amended
Related Party Agreement
Effective
February 25, 2020, an amendment to a related party agreement between us and MB Merchant Group, LLC (“MBMG”) was executed
into a letter agreement (the “MBMG Agreement”), pursuant to which we and MBMG agreed to amend and restate certain
service agreements previously entered into with MBMG as well as its predecessor entity (the “MBMG Agreements”). Pursuant
to the MBMG Agreement, MBMG has agreed to provide only the following services to us: (i) to conduct merger and acquisition searches,
negotiating and structuring deal terms and other related services in connection with closing suitable acquisitions for us, and
(ii) to seek and secure financing for us, except in those regions in which we had previously appointed a business representative
to exclusively seek such opportunities, and subject in each case to prior approval by our Chief Executive Officer on a case-by-case
basis (collectively, the “MBMG Services”). Pursuant to the MBMG Agreement, MBMG will no longer provide strategic planning
and financial structuring services or technical consulting services, review patent applications or provide consulting services
with respect to certain legal matters.
Pursuant
to the MBMG Agreement, in consideration for the MBMG Services, we agreed to compensate MBMG through payment of: (i) an acquisition
fee equal to (A) the greater of $250,000 or 6% of the total acquisition price for deals in which the total consideration paid
by us is less than $50 million; (B) $3,000,000 plus 4% of the consideration paid by us in excess of $50 million for deals in which
the total consideration paid by us is between $50 million and $100 million; (C) $5,000,000 plus 2% of the consideration paid by
us in excess of $100 million for deals in which the total consideration paid by us is between $100 million and $400 million; or
(D) $10,200,000 plus 1.1% of the consideration paid by us in excess of $400 million for deals in which the total consideration
paid by us exceeds $400 million; (ii) a success-based due diligence fee of $250,000 on successfully closed deals, (iii) a waivable
success-based finance fee of 2% of the acquisition price and (iv) an incentive fee of 5% of an external advisor’s higher
valuation of an acquisition, with such fees subject to a customary 12-month tail period in the event of termination of the MBMG
Agreement. The MBMG Agreement further provides that (x) MBMG shall have the option to convert up to 50% of all such fees into
Common Stock so long as a receivable remains outstanding, convertible at a fixed price of 110% of the lower of the price of such
shares on the day of closing or such price in connection with any acquisition financing, as applicable; (y) we will no longer
compensate MBMG through, among other discontinued fees, a $50,000 monthly consulting fee that would have been due pursuant to
the MBMG Agreements and (z) in full satisfaction of specified claims arising out of the MBMG Agreements, we shall pay MBMG $420,000,
with $200,000 to be paid within three days of the execution of the MBMG Agreement and $220,000 to be paid within 30 days of such
execution.
MBMG
is an affiliate of Richard L. Mooers, a member of our Board, and Roger G. Branton, a member of our Board and our former Chief
Financial Officer.
Entry
into a Material Definitive Agreement
On
April 10, 2020, IMT was granted a loan (the “Loan”) from Texas Security Bank in the aggregate amount of $1,167,700,
pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under Division A, Title I of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief,
and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was enacted on March 27, 2020.
The
Loan, which is in the form of a promissory note dated April 5, 2020 issued by the Borrower, matures on April 5, 2022 and bears
interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum, payable monthly commencing on October 5, 2020. The Note may be prepaid by the Borrower
at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. We intend to use the Loan amount for payroll costs, costs used to
continue group health care benefits, mortgage payments, rent, utilities, and interest on other debt obligations. Under the terms
of the PPP, certain amounts of the Loan may be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act.
Nasdaq
Notifications
As
previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with SEC on September 27, 2019, we received written notice from
the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq (the “Staff”) on September 26, 2019 indicating that we
were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because the closing bid price for the Common Stock had closed below
$1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). Further, as previously
disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2020, we received notice from Nasdaq on March 25,
2020 indicating that, while we had not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, the Staff had determined that
we were eligible for an additional 180-day period, or until September 21, 2020, to regain compliance.
As
previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with SEC on April 23, 2020, we received notice from Nasdaq on April
17, 2020 that the 180-day grace period to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement under applicable Nasdaq rules
has been extended due to the global market impact caused by COVID-19. More specifically, Nasdaq has stated that the compliance
periods for any company previously notified about non-compliance will be suspended effective April 16, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
On July 1, 2020, companies would receive the balance of any pending compliance period exception to come back into compliance with
the applicable Minimum Bid Price Requirement. As a result of this extension, we now have until December 7, 2020 to regain compliance
with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
As
previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with SEC on March 5, 2020, we received a letter from the Staff on
March 4, 2020 notifying us that the Staff has determined that we did not comply with Listing Rule 5635(d) because the February
2020 Offering did not meet the Nasdaq definition of a public offering under Listing Rule IM-5635-3. The Staff’s determination
was based on (i) the extent of the offering’s distribution, (ii) the existence of a prior relationship between us and the
investors in such offering, and (iii) the significant discount to the minimum price, as defined in Nasdaq rules. On March 18,
2020, we submitted a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635. On April 30, 2020, we received another letter from
the Staff notifying us that the Staff has determined not to delist our Common Stock for such non-compliance and that the Staff
has closed this matter by issuing us a letter of reprimand in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(4).

RISK
FACTORS
Investing
in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. Prior to making a decision about investing in our Common Stock, you should
read carefully all of the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information contained or incorporated
by reference into this prospectus or in the documents incorporated by reference herein, and as described or may be described in
any subsequent periodic report under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” as well as in any applicable prospectus
supplement and contained or to be contained in our filings with the SEC and incorporated by reference in this prospectus or in
any applicable prospectus supplement or such filings with the SEC, together with all of the other information contained in this
prospectus, or any applicable prospectus supplement. For a description of these reports and documents, and information about where
you can find them, see “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference.”
If any of the risks or uncertainties described in our SEC filings or any prospectus supplement or any additional risks and uncertainties
actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Risks
Relating to this Offering
We
may allocate the net proceeds from this offering in ways that you or other stockholders may not approve.
We
currently intend to use the net proceeds of this offering, if any, for working capital and general corporate purposes. We have
no current agreements, commitments or understandings for any material acquisitions or licenses of any products, businesses or
technologies. This expected use of the net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans
and business conditions. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors,
including timing of receipts from our customers. Because the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of
the proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. As a result, our
management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds
in ways that do not necessarily improve our operating results or enhance the value of our Common Stock. See “Use of Proceeds.”
Exercise
of options or warrants or conversion of convertible securities may have a dilutive effect on your percentage ownership and may
result in a dilution of your voting power and an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock eligible for future resale in
the public market, which may negatively impact the trading price of our shares of Common Stock.
The
exercise or conversion of some or all of our outstanding options, warrants, or convertible securities could result in significant
dilution in the percentage ownership interest of investors in this offering and in the percentage ownership interest of our existing
common stockholders and in a significant dilution of voting rights and earnings per share.
As
of April 30, 2020, we have (i) 1,555,601 outstanding warrants to purchase up to 1,449,994 shares of our Common Stock
at a weighted exercise price of $12.90 per share; (ii) outstanding options granted under our equity compensation plans
to purchase up to 482,550 shares of our Common Stock at a weighted average price of $14.89 per share; (iii) outstanding
time-vested award options granted as an inducement to our Chief Executive Officer, outside of our equity compensation plans,
for an aggregate of 2,155,481 shares of our Common Stock at a weighted average price of $0.2626 per share;
and (iv) outstanding performance-based award options granted as an inducement to our Chief Executive Officer, outside of our equity
compensation plans, of 1,500,000 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $0.27586 per share.
To
the extent warrants and/or conversion rights are exercised, additional shares of Common Stock will be issued, and such issuance
will dilute stockholders.
In
addition to the dilutive effects described above, the exercise of those securities would lead to an increase in the number of
shares of Common Stock eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares of Common Stock in
the public market could adversely affect the market price of our shares of Common Stock. Substantial dilution and/or a substantial
increase in the number of shares of Common Stock available for future resale may negatively impact the trading price of our shares
of Common Stock.
We
may seek to raise additional funds, finance acquisitions or develop strategic relationships by issuing securities that would dilute
your ownership. Depending on the terms available to us, if these activities result in significant dilution, it may negatively
impact the trading price of our shares of Common Stock.
We
have financed our operations, and we expect to continue to finance our operations, acquisitions, if any, and the development of
strategic relationships by issuing equity and/or convertible securities, which could significantly reduce the percentage ownership
of our existing stockholders. Further, any additional financing that we secure, may require the granting of rights, preferences
or privileges senior to, or pari passu with, those of our Common Stock. Any issuances by us of equity securities may be
at or below the prevailing market price of our Common Stock and in any event may have a dilutive impact on your ownership interest,
which could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline. We may also raise additional funds through the incurrence of
debt or the issuance or sale of other securities or instruments senior to our shares of Common Stock. The holders of any securities
or instruments we may issue may have rights superior to the rights of our common stockholders. If we experience dilution from
the issuance of additional securities and we grant superior rights to new securities over common stockholders, it may negatively
impact the trading price of our shares of Common Stock and you may lose all or part of your investment.
The
market price of our shares of Common Stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a generally
small and thinly traded public float and lack of profits, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. You may be
unable to sell your shares of Common Stock at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you.
The
market for our shares of Common Stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to the shares of larger,
more established companies that trade on a national securities exchange and have large public floats, and we expect that our share
price will continue to be more volatile than the shares of such larger, more established companies for the indefinite future.
The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that our shares are thinly traded
relative to larger, more established companies. The price for our shares of Common Stock could, for example, decline precipitously
in the event that a large number of our shares of Common Stock are sold on the market without commensurate demand. In addition,
because we may be considered a speculative or “risky” investment due to our lack of profits to date, certain investors
may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined
to sell their shares of Common Stock on the market more quickly and at greater discounts, thus resulting in a rapid downward decline
in the price of our Common Stock. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our shares
of Common Stock, regardless of our operating performance.
The
market price of our Common Stock is still likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations, and you may be unable
to resell your shares of Common Stock at or above the price at which you acquired them.
The
market price of our Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number
of factors that are beyond our control, including, but not limited to:
|
●
|
variations
in our revenues and operating expenses;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
actual or anticipated
changes in the estimates of our operating results or changes in stock market analyst recommendations regarding our Common
Stock, other comparable companies or our industry generally;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
market conditions
in our industry, the industries of our customers and the economy as a whole;
|
|
●
|
actual or expected changes
in our growth rates or our competitors’ growth rates;
|
|
●
|
developments in the financial
markets and worldwide or regional economies;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
announcements of innovations or new products
or services by us or our competitors;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
announcements by the government relating to
regulations that govern our industry;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
sales of our Common Stock or other securities
by us or in the open market;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
changes in the market valuations of other comparable
companies;
|
|
●
|
we may fail to meet publicly
announced financial guidance or other expectations about our business; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
other events or
factors, many of which are beyond our control, including those resulting from such events, or the prospect of such events,
including war, terrorism and other international conflicts, public health issues including health epidemics or pandemics,
such as the recent outbreak of COVID-19, and natural disasters such as fire, hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados or other adverse
weather and climate conditions, whether occurring in the United States or elsewhere, could disrupt our operations, disrupt
the operations of our suppliers or result in political or economic instability.
|
In
addition, if the market for technology stocks or the stock market in general experiences loss of investor confidence, the trading
price of our Common Stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition or operating results. The trading
price of our shares of Common Stock might also decline in reaction to events that affect other companies in our industry, even
if these events do not directly affect us. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market, securities class-action
litigation has often been instituted against companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial
costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, operating
results and financial condition.
We
have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, and any return on investment
may be limited to potential future appreciation in the value of our Common Stock.
We
currently intend to retain any future earnings to support the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate
paying cash dividends on our shares of Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Our payment of any future dividends will be at
the discretion of our Board after taking into account various factors, including without limitation, our financial condition,
operating results, cash needs, growth plans and the terms of any credit agreements that we may be a party to at the time. To the
extent we do not pay dividends, our shares of Common Stock may be less valuable because a return on investment will only occur
if and to the extent our stock price appreciates, which may never occur. In addition, investors must rely on sales of their Common
Stock after price appreciation as the only way to realize their investment, and if the price of our Common Stock does not appreciate,
then there will be no return on investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our Common Stock.
The
actual number of shares of Common Stock that 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 placement
notices to A.G.P. at any time throughout the term of the Sales Agreement. The number of shares of Common Stock that are sold by
A.G.P. after we deliver a placement notice will fluctuate based on the market price of the Common Stock during the sales period
and limits that we set with A.G.P.
The
shares of Common Stock offered under this prospectus may be sold in “at the market” offerings, and investors who buy
shares at different times will likely pay different prices.
Investors
who purchase shares of Common Stock under this prospectus at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience
different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices,
and numbers of shares of Common Stock sold, and there is no minimum or maximum sales price. Investors may experience declines
in the value of their shares of Common Stock as a result of share sales made at prices lower than the prices that such investors
paid.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We
currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, if any, for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The
timing and amount of our actual expenditures will be based on many factors, including cash flows from operations and the anticipated
growth of our business. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the
net proceeds to us from this offering. As a result, our management will have broad discretion regarding the timing and application
of the net proceeds from this offering. Pending their ultimate use, we intend to invest the net proceeds in short-term, investment-grade,
interest-bearing instruments.
MARKET
PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK
Our
Common Stock is presently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “VISL”. On April 30, 2020, the last
reported sale price of our Common Stock was $0.34.
Holders
As
of April 30, 2020, we had 24 registered holders of record of our Common Stock. A substantially greater number of
holders of our Common Stock are “street name” or beneficial holders, whose shares of record are held through banks,
brokers, other financial institutions and registered clearing agencies.
DIVIDEND
POLICY
We
have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends
on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. We expect to retain all available funds and any future earnings to support operations
and fund the development and growth of our business. Our board of directors has the right to authorize the issuance of preferred
stock in the future, without further stockholder approval, the holders of which may have preferences over the holders of our Common
Stock as to payment of dividends.
DILUTION
If
you invest in our Common Stock in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference
between the public offering price per share of our Common Stock and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our Common
Stock after this offering.
Our
historical net tangible book value as of December 31, 2019 was $6,307,000, or $0.29 per share of our Common Stock.
Historical net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, divided
by the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2019.
Our
pro forma net tangible book value as of December 31, 2019 was $12,923,000, or $0.15 per share of our Common Stock
after giving effect to our receipt (i) net proceeds of $5,438,000 from sale of 12,445,000 shares of Common Stock in the February
2020 Offering, (ii) net proceeds of $10,000 from the exercise of an aggregate of 22,970,300 pre-funded warrants and the issuance
of an aggregate of 22,970,300 shares of Common Stock; (iii) the cashless exercise of an aggregate 41,696,572 warrants and the
issuance of an aggregate of 31,272,429 shares of Common Stock; and (iv) $1,167,700 from IMT’s issuance of a promissory
note dated April 5, 2020 (the “IMT Note”).
After
giving effect to the pro forma adjustments and the issuance and sale of up to 28,823,529 shares of our Common Stock in this offering
(based on an assumed offering price of $0.34, which was the closing price of our Common Stock on April 30, 2020), and after deducting
the sales agent discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our historical net tangible book
value as of December 31, 2019 would have been $0.29 per share. This represents an immediate decrease in pro forma net tangible
book value per share of $0.10 to existing stockholders and immediate dilution of $0.15 per share to new investors
purchasing Common Stock in this offering. Dilution per share to new investors is determined by subtracting historical net
tangible book value per share after this offering from the public offering price per share paid by new investors. The following
table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

The
total number of shares of our Common Stock reflected in the discussion and tables above is based on 21,551,333 shares of Common
Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2019 and excludes outstanding warrants and options exercisable to purchase 25,128,447 and
341,083 shares of Common Stock, respectively, as of December 31, 2019.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We
have entered into the Sales Agreement with A.G.P., under which we may issue and sell shares of our Common Stock from time to time
of up to $9,800,000 to or through A.G.P., acting as our sales agent. The sales of our Common Stock, if any, under this prospectus
and any prospectus supplement will be made at market prices by any method deemed to be an “at the market offering”
as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, including sales made directly on The Nasdaq Capital Market, on any other
existing trading market for our Common Stock or to or through a market maker.
Pursuant
to the Sales Agreement, A.G.P. will not sell a number of shares of Common Stock under this prospectus that would exceed (i)
the amount of shares of Common Stock registered under this registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, or
the amount of shares offered under this prospectus, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock authorized to be issued
pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation. As of April 30, 2020, we are authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of
Common Stock pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, 88,239,062 shares of our Common Stock are issued, which leaves
11,760,938 shares of Common Stock that are unissued, including 15,954 shares of Common Stock held in treasury. We have also
reserved a total of 5,588,025 shares of Common stock for issuance upon outstanding options and warrants. Therefore, as of
April 30, 2020, there are a limited number of shares of Common Stock available for sale under this prospectus. In the event
that the price per share of our Common Stock increases over time, this would result in our ability to raise a larger amount
of capital by selling less shares. We are planning to hold an annual meeting of our stockholders on May 8, 2020, one
of the purposes of which is to obtain stockholder approval for our board of directors to amend our Certificate of
Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of all of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock, which would reduce the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and thereby increase the number of shares of Common Stock that would be
available for sale pursuant to this prospectus. However, there can be no assurance that such proposal will be approved
by our stockholders at such annual meeting.
Each
time that we wish to issue and sell shares of our Common Stock under the Sales Agreement, we will provide A.G.P. with a placement
notice describing the amount of such shares to be sold, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation
on the amount of shares of Common Stock that may be sold in any single day, any minimum price below which sales may not be made
or any minimum price requested for sales in a given time period and any other instructions relevant to such requested sales. Upon
receipt of a placement notice, A.G.P., acting as our sales agent, will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its
normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of The Nasdaq Capital
Market, to sell shares of our Common Stock under the terms and subject to the conditions of the placement notice and the Sales
Agreement. We or A.G.P. may suspend the offering of Common Stock pursuant to a placement notice upon notice and subject to other
conditions.
Settlement
for sales of Common Stock, unless the relevant parties agree otherwise, will occur on the second trading day following the date
on which any sales are made in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. There are no arrangements to place any of the proceeds
of this offering in an escrow, trust or similar account. Sales of our Common Stock as contemplated in this prospectus and any
prospectus supplement will be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as we and
A.G.P. may agree upon.
We
will pay A.G.P. commissions for its services in acting as our sales agent in the sale of our Common Stock pursuant to the Sales
Agreement. A.G.P. will be entitled to compensation at a fixed commission rate of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of our
Common Stock on our behalf pursuant to the Sales Agreement. We have also agreed to reimburse A.G.P. for its reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket expenses (including but not limited to the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of its legal counsel) in
an amount not to exceed $40,000 and up to an additional $10,000 per year for maintenance.
We
estimate that the total expenses for this offering, excluding compensation payable to A.G.P. and certain expenses reimbursable
to A.G.P. under the terms of the Sales Agreement, will be approximately $100,000. The remaining sales proceeds, after deducting
any expenses payable by us and any transaction fees imposed by any governmental, regulatory, or self-regulatory organization in
connection with the sales, will equal our net proceeds for the sale of such Common Stock.
Because
there are no minimum sale requirements as a condition to this offering, the actual total public offering price, commissions and
net proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. The actual dollar amount and number of shares of Common Stock we
sell through this prospectus and any prospectus supplement will be dependent, among other things, on market conditions and our
capital raising requirements.
We
will report at least quarterly the number of shares of Common Stock sold through A.G.P. under the Sales Agreement, the net proceeds
to us and the compensation paid by us to A.G.P. in connection with the sales of Common Stock under the Sales Agreement.
In
connection with the sale of the Common Stock on our behalf, A.G.P. will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the
meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation of A.G.P. will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have
agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to A.G.P. against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act.
A.G.P.
will not engage in any market making activities involving our Common Stock while the offering is ongoing under this prospectus
and any prospectus supplement if such activity would be prohibited under Regulation M or other anti-manipulation rules under the
Securities Act. As our sales agent, A.G.P. will not engage in any transactions that stabilizes our Common Stock.
The
offering pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all shares of Common Stock subject
to the Sales Agreement and (ii) termination of the Sales Agreement as permitted therein. We may terminate the Sales Agreement
in our sole discretion at any time by giving 10 days’ prior notice to A.G.P. A.G.P. may terminate the Sales Agreement under
the circumstances specified in the Sales Agreement and in its sole discretion at any time by giving 10 days’ prior notice
to us.
A.G.P.
and/or its affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, various investment banking and other financial services for
us, for which services they have received and may in the future receive customary fees.
A.G.P.
acted as sole book-running managers in our follow-on underwritten offering that closed on February 14, 2020 for 12,445,000 shares
of Common Stock, 12,445,000 warrants to purchase 9,333,750 shares of Common Stock, and 14,827,200 pre-funded warrants, with each
such pre-funded warrant exercisable for one share of Common Stock, together with 14,827,200 warrants to purchase 11,120,400 shares
of Common Stock, which resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $6 million.
This
prospectus and any prospectus supplement is in electronic format and may be made available on a website maintained by A.G.P.,
and A.G.P. may distribute this prospectus and any prospectus supplement electronically.

ITEM
15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section
102(b)(7) of the DGCL allows a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation will
not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except where the directors breached the duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly
violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or
obtained an improper personal benefit. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides for this limitation of liability.
Section
145 of the DGCL provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was, is or is threatened to be made, party to
any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director,
employee or agent of such corporation or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer employee
or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding,
provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s
best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who are, or were, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action
or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, provided such person acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, provided
that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer, director, employee or agent is adjudged to be liable
to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred
to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or directors has actually and reasonably
incurred.
Section
145 further authorizes a corporation 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 of another corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity,
or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him under Section
145.
The
indemnification rights set forth above shall not be exclusive of any other right which an indemnified person may have or hereafter
acquire under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased
to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such
person.
We
maintain a general liability insurance policy that covers liabilities of directors and officers of our corporation arising out
of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.

ITEM
17. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information
set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of the securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from
the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement
or any material change to such information in this registration statement;
provided,
however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”) that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant
to Rule 424(b) that is part of this registration statement;
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold
at the termination of the offering.
(4)
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
(i)
If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B;
(A)
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as
of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(B)
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance
on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information
required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of
the earlier of the date of the Securities Act prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of
sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer
and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement
relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration
statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by
reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with
a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement
or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date;
or
(ii)
If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating
to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A,
shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.
Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part
of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify
any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in
any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(5)
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution
of the securities:
The
undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration
statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or
sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser
and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant
to Rule 424;
(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred
to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii)
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned
registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv)
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing
of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated
by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion
of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. 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, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe
that it meets all of the requirements for filing of the Registration Statement on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Form S-3 to
be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Sarasota, State of Florida, on the 5th
day of May, 2020.
