Overview
American
Battery Technology Company is a recent entrant in the lithium–ion battery industry that is working to increase the domestic US
production of battery materials, such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese through its engagement in the exploration of new primary
resources of battery metals, in the development and commercialization of new technologies for the extraction of these battery metals
from primary resources, and in the commercialization of an internally developed integrated process for the recycling of lithium–ion
batteries. Through this three–pronged approach, the Company is working to both increase the domestic production of these battery
materials, and to ensure spent batteries have their elemental battery metals returned to the domestic manufacturing supply chain in an
economical, environmentally-friendly, closed–loop fashion.
To
implement this business strategy, the Company is currently constructing its first integrated lithium–ion battery recycling facility,
which will take in waste and end–of–life battery materials from the electric vehicle, stationary storage, and consumer electronics
industries. The construction, commissioning, and operations of this facility are of the highest priority to the Company, and as such
it has significantly increased the resources devoted to its execution including the further internal hiring of technical staff, expansion
of laboratory facilities, and purchasing of equipment. The Company has been awarded a competitively bid grant from the US Advanced Battery
Consortium to accelerate the development and demonstration of this pre–commercial scale integrated lithium–ion battery recycling
facility. The Company has been notified that it has been selected for an additional grant award under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law
to validate, test, and deploy three disruptive advanced separation and processing technologies in its existing lithium-ion battery recycling
facilities.
Additionally,
the Company is accelerating the demonstration and commercialization of its internally developed low–cost and low–environmental
impact processing train for the manufacturing of battery grade lithium hydroxide from Nevada–based sedimentary claystone resources.
The Company has been awarded a grant cooperative agreement from the US Department of Energy’s Advanced Manufacturing Office through
the Critical Materials Innovation program to support the construction and operation of a multi–ton per day integrated continuous
demonstration system to support the scale–up and commercialization of these technologies. The Company has been notified that it
has been selected for an additional grant award under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to design, construct, and commission a first-of-kind
commercial manufacturing facility to produce battery-grade lithium hydroxide from this resource.
The
Company’s corporate headquarters are in Reno, Nevada, USA and its exploration office is located in Tonopah, Nevada, USA. It is
also constructing a pilot plant for recycling lithium-ion batteries in Fernley, Nevada, USA, and completing a build-out of a commercial
lithium-ion battery recycling facility in the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center.
Background
The
Company was incorporated as Oroplata Resources, Inc. under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 6, 2011, for the purpose of acquiring
rights to mineral properties with the eventual objective of being a producing mineral company. On August 8, 2016, the Company formed
Lithortech Resources Inc. as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company to serve as its operating subsidiary for lithium resource exploration
and development. On June 29, 2018, the Company changed the name of Lithortech Resources to LithiumOre Corp. (“LithiumOre”);
on May 3, 2019, the Company changed its name to American Battery Metals Corporation; and on August 12, 2021, the Company changed its
name to American Battery Technology Company, which better aligns with the Company’s current business activities and future objectives.
The Company has limited operating history and has not yet generated or realized revenues from its primary business activities. On September
11, 2023, the Company effected a one-for-fifteen (1:15) reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s
authorized, issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, and the authorized shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share (the
“Preferred Stock”). All share numbers and prices herein reflect the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split.
Smaller
Reporting Company
We
are a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled
disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as the
market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal
quarter, or our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our
Common Stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter. For example,
as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K and we have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.
Convertible
Notes
On
August 29, 2023, we entered into the Purchase Agreement pursuant to which we agreed to sell and issue to the Selling Stockholders senior
secured convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of up to $51,000,000. On August 30, 2023, we issued the Notes to the Selling
Stockholders in the aggregate principal amount of $25,083,333.33. Upon the satisfaction of additional conditions set forth in the Purchase
Agreement, we may issue additional senior secured convertible notes on identical terms as the Notes to the Selling Stockholders in the
aggregate principal amount of up to $25,916,666.67 at subsequent closings. The Notes have a maturity date of September 1, 2025, which
may be extended at the option of the Selling Stockholders in certain instances (the “Maturity Date”). The Notes are secured
by certain of our real property and cash and investment accounts.
The
Notes are convertible into shares of our Common Stock, subject to certain conditions and limitations. The Notes bear no interest absent
an event of default under the Notes. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default under the Notes, the Notes
will bear interest at an annual rate of 15% per annum. The Notes are redeemable in part on the fifteenth day of each month beginning
September 15, 2023, and ending on the Maturity Date (each, a “Partial Redemption Date.”) The Selling Stockholders will have
the option to partially redeem their respective Notes on each Partial Redemption Date for an aggregate amount of up to $1,800,000 of
principal amount (each a “Redemption Payment”). Any unexercised Redemption Payment may be deferred by the Selling Stockholders
to any future Partial Redemption Date. Issuer and Investor can mutually agree to adjust the amount of any single Redemption Payment.
The Selling Stockholders can also redeem the Notes for cash upon (i) a fundamental change (e.g., change of control of the Company, the
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or the delisting of the
Common Stock) at the greater of (a) 110% of the conversion value plus accrued interest and (b) 110% of the principal amount plus accrued
interest, or (ii) an event of default under the Notes at the greater of (a) 115% of the conversion value plus accrued interest and (b)
115% of the principal amount plus accrued interest.
The
Notes provide a conversion right to the Selling Stockholders pursuant to which the Selling Stockholders may, at any time after the
issuance date, convert any portion of the principal amount of the Notes, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and any other
unpaid amounts, into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to (A) one thousand dollars ($1,000) divided by (B) the
Conversion Rate in effect at such time (the “Conversion Price”). The “Conversion Rate” is equal to 1,629.1952 shares of Common
Stock per $1,000 of principal amount of the Notes. The Conversion Price is a fixed price subject to limited adjustments in
accordance with the terms of the Notes. We may not issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes or any future note
that we may issue under the Purchase Agreement, or otherwise in connection therewith, if, after giving effect to such issuance, the
recipient of such issuance of such Common Stock would beneficially own more than 4.99% of our outstanding shares of Common
Stock.
The
Notes, and the shares of Common Stock into which the Notes may be converted, were not registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws. We have relied on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(a)(2)
as to the issuance of the Notes and intend to rely on the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act for the issuance
of any shares of Common Stock into which the Notes may be convertible. In connection with the Selling Stockholders’ execution of
the Purchase Agreement, each Selling Stockholder represented to us that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation
D and that the securities to be purchased by it will be acquired solely for its own account and for investment purposes and not with
a view to the future sale or distribution.
Under
the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to file the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part within the timeframe
set forth in the Purchase Agreement, to use our commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective
within the timeframe set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and to use our commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration statement
effective during the timeframes set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

RISK
FACTORS
An
investment in our securities is subject to numerous risks, including the risk factors described below. You should carefully consider
the risks, uncertainties and other factors described below, in addition to the other information set forth in this prospectus, before
making an investment decision with regard to our securities. Any of these risks, uncertainties and other factors could materially and
adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects. In that case, the trading price of
our Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. See also “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements.”
RISKS
RELATING TO OUR COMPANY
Since
we have a limited operating history and have not commenced revenue-producing operations, it is difficult for potential investors to evaluate
our business.
Since
formation, we have not commenced revenue-producing operations. To date, our operations have consisted of the prior exploratory activities,
development and limited testing of our recycling process and the development of our business plan. Our limited operating history makes
it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our technology or prospective operations. As an early-stage company, we are subject
to all the risks inherent in the initial organization, financing, expenditures, complications and delays in a new business. Investors
should evaluate an investment in us in light of the uncertainties encountered by developing companies in a competitive environment. There
can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful or that we will ultimately be able to attain profitability.
We
may need additional financing to execute our business plan and fund operations, which additional financing may not be available on reasonable
terms or at all.
We
believe that we will require significant working capital in the near term in order to fund our current operations. We will likely need
to raise capital over the next 12 months to satisfy such requirements, the receipt of which cannot be assured. We will also require significant
capital in order to fully develop our recycling facilities. We intend to seek additional funds through various financing sources, including
the private sale of our equity and debt securities, joint ventures with capital partners and project financing of our recycling facilities.
In addition, we will consider alternatives to our current business plan that may enable to us to achieve revenue producing operations
and meaningful commercial success with a smaller amount of capital. However, there can be no guarantees that such funds will be available
on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to further pursue
our business plan and we may be unable to continue operations, in which case you may lose your entire investment.
We
must effectively manage the growth of our operations, or our company will suffer.
Our
ability to successfully implement our business plan requires an effective planning and management process. If funding is available, we
may elect to increase the scope of our operations and acquire complementary businesses. Implementing our business plan will require significant
additional funding and resources. If we grow our operations, we will need to hire additional employees and make significant capital investments.
If we grow our operations, it will place a significant strain on our existing management and resources. Additionally, we will need to
improve our financial and managerial controls and reporting systems and procedures, and we will need to expand, train and manage our
workforce. Any failure to manage any of the foregoing areas efficiently and effectively would cause our business to suffer.
We
may be unable to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, and as a result we may be unable to accurately
report our financial results.
Our
reporting obligations as a public company place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems.
We do not currently have effective internal controls. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting,
we could experience delays or inaccuracies in our reporting of financial information, or non-compliance with the Commission, reporting
and other regulatory requirements. This could subject us to regulatory scrutiny and result in a loss of public confidence in our management,
which could, among other things, cause our stock price to drop.
We
have been and expect to be significantly dependent on consulting agreements for the development of our battery recycling facilities,
which exposes us to the risk of reliance on the performance of third parties.
In
developing our battery recycling technology, we rely to some extent on consulting agreements with third parties as the Company does not
have the resources to employ all the necessary staff required for such activities. The failure to obtain and maintain such consulting
agreements would substantially disrupt or delay our battery recycling activities. Any such loss would likely increase our expenses and
materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operation.
If
we are not successful in attracting and retaining highly qualified personnel, we may not be able to successfully implement our business
strategy. In addition, the loss of the services of certain key employees would adversely impact our business prospects.
If
we are not successful in attracting and retaining highly qualified personnel, we may not be able to successfully implement our business
strategy. In addition, the loss of the services of certain key employees, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Technology
Officer, would adversely impact our business prospects. Our ability to compete in the highly competitive battery recycling technology
business depends in large part upon our ability to attract highly qualified managerial, scientific, and engineering personnel. In order
to induce valuable employees to remain with us, we intend to provide employees with stock grants that vest over time. The value to employees
of stock grants that vest over time will be significantly affected by movements in our stock price that we will not be able to control
and may at any time be insufficient to counteract more lucrative offers from other companies. Other technology companies with which we
compete for qualified personnel have greater financial and other resources, different risk profiles, and a longer history in the industry
than we do. They also may provide more diverse opportunities and better chances for career advancement. Some of these characteristics
may be more appealing to high-quality candidates than what we have to offer. If we are unable to continue to attract and retain high-quality
personnel, the rate and success at which we can develop and commercialize products would be limited.
RISKS
RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY
Battery
recycling is a highly competitive and speculative business and we may not be successful in seeking available opportunities.
The
process of battery recycling is a highly competitive and speculative business. In seeking available opportunities, we will compete with
a number of other companies, including established, multi-national companies that have more experience and resources than we do. There
also may be other small companies that are developing similar processes and are farther along than the Company. Because we may not have
the financial and managerial resources to compete with other companies, we may not be successful in our efforts to develop technology
which is commercially viable.
Our
new business model has not been proven by us or anyone else.
We
intend to engage in the business of lithium recycling through a proprietary recycling technology. While the production of lithium-ion
recycling is an established business, to date most lithium-ion recycling has been produced by way of performing bulk high temperature
calcinations or bulk acid dissolutions. We have developed a highly strategic recycling processing train that does not employ any high
temperature operations or any bulk chemical treatments of the full battery. We have tested our recycling process on a small scale and
to a limited degree; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to produce battery metals in commercial quantities at a
cost of production that will provide us with an adequate profit margin. The uniqueness of our process presents potential risks associated
with the development of a business model that is untried and unproven.
While
the testing of our recycling process has been successful to date, there can be no assurance that we will be able to replicate the process,
along with all of the expected economic advantages, on a large commercial scale.
As
of the date of this prospectus, we have built and operated our recycling process on a very small scale. While we believe that our development
and testing to date has proven the concept of our recycling process, we have not undertaken the build-out or operation of a large-scale
facility capable of recycling large commercial quantities. There can be no assurance that as we commence large scale manufacturing or
operations that we will not incur unexpected costs or hurdles that might restrict the desired scale of our intended operations or negatively
impact our projected gross profit margin.
Our
intellectual property rights may not be adequate to protect our business.
We
currently do not hold any patents for our products. Although we expect to file applications related to our technology, no assurances
can be given that any patent will be issued on such patent applications or that, if such patents are issued, they will be sufficiently
broad to adequately protect our technology. In addition, we cannot assure you that any patents that may be issued to us will not be challenged,
invalidated, or circumvented. Even if we are issued patents, they may not stop a competitor from illegally using our patented processes
and materials. In such event, we would incur substantial costs and expenses, including lost time of management in addressing and litigating,
if necessary, such matters. Additionally, we rely upon a combination of trade secret laws and nondisclosure agreements with third parties
and employees having access to confidential information or receiving unpatented proprietary know-how, trade secrets and technology to
protect our proprietary rights and technology. These laws and agreements provide only limited protection. We can give no assurance that
these measures will adequately protect us from misappropriation of proprietary information.
Our
processes may infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, which could lead to costly disputes or disruptions.
The
applied science industry is characterized by frequent allegations of intellectual property infringement. Though we do not expect to be
subject to any of these allegations, any allegation of infringement could be time consuming and expensive to defend or resolve, result
in substantial diversion of management resources, cause suspension of operations or force us to enter into royalty, license, or other
agreements rather than dispute the merits of such allegation. If patent holders or other holders of intellectual property initiate legal
proceedings, we may be forced into protracted and costly litigation. We may not be successful in defending such litigation and may not
be able to procure any required royalty or license agreements on acceptable terms or at all.
Our
business strategy includes entering into joint ventures and strategic alliances. Failure to successfully integrate such joint ventures
or strategic alliances into our operations could adversely affect our business.
We
propose to commercially exploit our recycling process, in part, by entering into joint ventures and strategic relationships with parties
involved in the manufacture and recycling of lithium-ion products. Joint ventures and strategic alliances may involve significant other
risks and uncertainties, including distraction of management’s attention away from normal business operations, insufficient revenue
generation to offset liabilities assumed and expenses associated with the transaction, and unidentified issues not discovered in our
due diligence process, such as product quality, technology issues and legal contingencies. In addition, we may be unable to effectively
integrate any such programs and ventures into our operations. Our operating results could be adversely affected by any problems arising
during or from any joint ventures or strategic alliances.
If
we are unable to manage future expansion effectively, our business, operations and financial condition may suffer significantly, resulting
in decreased productivity.
If
our recycling process proves to be commercially valuable, it is likely that we will experience a rapid growth phase that could place
a significant strain on our managerial, administrative, technical, operational and financial resources. Our organization, procedures
and management may not be adequate to fully support the expansion of our operations or the efficient execution of our business strategy.
If we are unable to manage future expansion effectively, our business, operations and financial condition may suffer significantly, resulting
in decreased productivity.
The
global economic conditions could negatively affect our prospects for growth and operating results.
Our
prospects for growth and operating results will be directly affected by the general global economic conditions of the industries in which
our suppliers, partners and customer groups operate. We believe that the market price of our principal product, recycled lithium- ion,
is relatively volatile and reacts to general global economic conditions. A decline in the price of lithium-ion resulting from over supply
or a global economic slowdown and the other global economic conditions could negatively affect our business. There can be no assurance
that global economic conditions will not, at times, negatively impact our liquidity, growth prospects and results of operations.
Government
regulation and environmental, health and safety concerns may adversely affect our business.
Our
operations in the United States will be subject to the Federal, State and local environmental, health and safety laws applicable to the
reclamation of lithium-ion batteries. Depending on how any particular operation is structured, our facilities will probably have to obtain
environmental permits or approvals to operate, including those associated with air emissions, water discharges, and waste management
and storage. We may face opposition from local residents or public interest groups to the installation and operation of our facilities.
Failure to secure (or significant delays in securing) the necessary approvals could prevent us from pursuing some of our planned operations
and adversely affect our business, financial results and growth prospects. In addition to permitting requirements, our operations are
subject to environmental health, safety and transportation laws and regulations that govern the management of and exposure to hazardous
materials such as the heavy metals and acids involved in battery reclamation. These include hazard communication and other occupational
safety requirements for employees, which may mandate industrial hygiene monitoring of employees for potential exposure to hazardous materials.
Failure to comply with these requirements could subject our business to significant penalties (civil or criminal) and other sanctions
that could adversely affect our business.
The
nature of our operations involves risks, including the potential for exposure to hazardous materials such as heavy metals, that could
result in personal injury and property damage claims from third parties, including employees and neighbors, which claims could result
in significant costs or other environmental liability. Our operations also pose a risk of releases of hazardous substances, such as heavy
metals or acids, into the environment, which can result in liabilities for the removal or remediation of such hazardous substances from
the properties at which they have been released, liabilities which can be imposed regardless of fault, and our business could be held
liable for the entire cost of cleanup even if we were only partially responsible. Like any manufacturer, we are also subject to the possibility
that we may receive notices of potential liability in connection with materials that were sent to third-party recycling, treatment, or
disposal facilities under the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (“CERCLA”),
and comparable state statutes, which impose liability for investigation and remediation of contamination without regard to fault or the
legality of the conduct that contributed to the contamination, and for damages to natural resources. Liability under CERCLA is retroactive,
and, under certain circumstances, liability for the entire cost of a cleanup can be imposed on any responsible party.
In
the event we are unable to present and operate our recycling process and operations as safe and environmentally responsible, we may face
opposition from local governments, residents or public interest groups to the installation and operation of our facilities.
RISKS
RELATED TO AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SECURITIES
The
number of shares of our Common Stock available for future issuance or sale could adversely affect the per share trading price of our
Common Stock.
We
cannot predict whether future issuances or sales of our Common Stock or the availability of shares for resale in the open market, including
the Shares issued to the Selling Stockholders, will decrease the per share trading price of our Common Stock. The issuance of a substantial
number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market or the perception that such issuances might occur could adversely affect the
per share trading price of our Common Stock. In addition to the 2,724,377 Shares issuable to the Selling Stockholders under the terms
of the Notes that are being registered pursuant to this prospectus, we have issued or registered for resale a total of 8,070,288 shares
in connection with several transactions that have occurred during the last two fiscal years.
Stockholders
may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings or other equity issuances.
In
order to raise additional capital, we believe that we will offer and issue additional shares of our Common Stock or other securities
convertible into or exchangeable for our Common Stock in the future. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares and investors
purchasing other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. Existing stockholders who have negotiated
certain contractual protections and restrictions with respect to future issuances of securities may challenge or interfere with such
issuances, which may hinder our capital-raising needs and objectives.
In
addition, we have a significant number of warrants outstanding. To the extent that outstanding warrants have been or may be exercised
or other shares issued, you may experience further dilution. Further, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions
or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans.
The
market price of our Common Stock has been, and may continue to be, highly volatile, and such volatility could cause the market price
of our Common Stock to decrease.
During
the fourth fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023, the market price of our Common Stock fluctuated from a high of $14.10 per share to a low
of $10.33 per share, and our stock price continues to fluctuate. The market price of our Common Stock may continue to fluctuate significantly
in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control, such as:
●
|
our
ability to generate revenue and develop a consistent customer base; |
●
|
our
ability to develop and scale our proprietary technology; |
●
|
the
announcement and acceptance of new products or technology or related enhancements by us or our competitors; |
●
|
developments
concerning regulatory oversight and approvals; |
●
|
variations
in our and our competitors’ results of operations; |
●
|
successes
or challenges in our collaborative arrangements or alternative funding sources; |
●
|
developments
in our industry generally; |
●
|
future
issuances of Common Stock or other securities; |
●
|
the
addition or departure of key personnel; |
●
|
announcements
by us or our competitors of acquisitions, investments or strategic alliances; and |
●
|
general
market conditions and other factors, including factors unrelated to our operating performance. |
Further,
the stock market in general, and our industry in particular, has recently experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. The volatility
of our Common Stock is further exacerbated due to its low trading volume. Continued market fluctuations could result in extreme volatility
in the price of our Common Stock, which could cause a decline in the value of our Common Stock.
We
expect to experience volatility in the price of our Common Stock, which could negatively affect stockholders’ investments.
The
trading price of our Common Stock may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some
of which are beyond our control. The stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been
unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies with securities traded in those markets. Broad market and industry
factors may seriously affect the market price of companies’ stock, including ours, regardless of actual operating performance.
All of these factors could adversely affect your ability to sell your shares of Common Stock or, if you are able to sell your shares,
to sell your shares at a price that you determine to be fair or favorable.
The
relative lack of public company experience of our management team could adversely impact our ability to comply with the reporting requirements
of U.S. securities laws.
Our
management team lacks significant public company experience, which could impair our ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirements
such as those imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our senior management has little experience in managing a publicly traded company.
Such responsibilities include complying with federal securities laws and making required disclosures on a timely basis. Our senior management
may not be able to implement programs and policies in an effective and timely manner that adequately respond to such increased legal,
regulatory compliance and reporting requirements, including the establishing and maintaining of internal controls over financial reporting.
Any such deficiencies, weaknesses or lack of compliance could have a materially adverse effect on our ability to comply with the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act, which is necessary to maintain our public company status. If we were to fail to fulfill those obligations,
our ability to continue as a U.S. public company would be in jeopardy, we could be subject to the imposition of fines and penalties and
our management would have to divert resources from attending to our business plan.
The
elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees under Nevada law and the existence of indemnification
rights for or obligations to our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by us and may discourage lawsuits
against our directors, officers and employees.
Our
Articles of Incorporation contain a provision permitting us to eliminate the personal liability of our directors to us and our stockholders
for damages for the breach of a fiduciary duty as a director or officer to the extent provided by Nevada law. We may also have contractual
indemnification obligations under any future employment agreements with our officers. The foregoing indemnification obligations could
result in us incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which
we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and the resulting costs may also discourage us from bringing a lawsuit against directors
and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our stockholders
against our directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders.
We
may issue additional shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock in the future, which could cause significant dilution to all stockholders.
Our
Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 81,667,000 shares, including 80,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,667,000
shares of Preferred Stock, each with a $0.001 par value per share. As of September 27, 2023, we had 46,304,354 shares of
Common Stock outstanding and no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding; however, we may issue additional shares of Common Stock or Preferred
Stock in the future in connection with a financing or an acquisition. Such issuances may not require the approval of our stockholders.
In addition, certain of our outstanding rights to purchase additional shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into our Common
Stock are subject to some form of anti-dilution protection, which could result in the right to purchase significantly more shares of
Common Stock being issued or a reduction in the purchase price for any such shares or both. Any issuance of additional shares of our
Common Stock, or equity securities convertible into our Common Stock, including but not limited to, preferred stock, warrants and options,
will dilute the percentage ownership interest of all stockholders, may dilute the book value per share of our Common Stock, and may negatively
impact the market price of our Common Stock.
Anti-takeover
effects of certain provisions of Nevada state law hinder a potential takeover of us.
Certain
provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes have anti-takeover effects and may inhibit a non-negotiated merger or other business combination.
These provisions are intended to encourage any person interested in acquiring us to negotiate with, and to obtain the approval of, our
board of directors in connection with such a transaction. However, certain of these provisions may discourage a future acquisition of
us, including an acquisition in which the stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. As a result, stockholders
who might desire to participate in such a transaction may not have the opportunity to do so.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We
are registering the Shares on behalf of the Selling Stockholders, to be offered and sold by the Selling Stockholders from time to time
and we will not receive proceeds from the sale of the Shares from time to time by the Selling Stockholders.
We
have agreed to pay all costs, expenses and fees relating to the registration of the Shares covered by this prospectus. These may include,
without limitation, all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of our counsel and accountants, and blue-sky fees and expenses.
The Selling Stockholders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred for brokerage, accounting, tax or
legal services or any other expenses incurred in disposing of the Shares covered hereby.
DETERMINATION
OF OFFERING PRICE
We
cannot currently determine the price or prices at which the Shares may be sold by the Selling Stockholders under this prospectus as the
price will be determined by the prevailing public market price for our common stock, by negotiations between the Selling Stockholders
and the buyers of common shares in private transactions or as otherwise described in “Plan of Distribution.”
DILUTION
This
Registration Statement relates only to the resale of shares of Common Stock that may be offered by the Selling Stockholders and does
not involve the issuance of additional securities by the Company.
Description
of Registrant’s Securities
The
following description of our capital stock is not complete and may not contain all the information you should consider before investing
in our capital stock. This description is summarized from, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, our Articles of Incorporation
and Bylaws which have been publicly filed with the SEC. See “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation
by Reference.”
Authorized
and Outstanding Securities
Our
Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 81,666,667 shares, including 80,000,000 shares of “Common Stock”
and 1,666,667 shares of “Preferred Stock”, each with a $0.001 par value per share. Of the authorized preferred stock, the
Company has designated 33,334 shares as Series A Preferred Stock with a $0.001 par value per share, 133,334 shares of Series B Preferred
Stock with a $10.00 par value per share, and 66,667 shares of Series C Preferred Stock with a $10.00 par value per share. As of September
27, 2023, there were 0 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 0 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, 0 shares of Series C Preferred
Stock, and 46,304,354 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.
Common
Stock
The
holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters requiring a vote of the stockholders, including the election
of directors. Holders of Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in
dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board in its discretion from funds legally available therefor, subject
to preferences that may be applicable to preferred stock, if any, then outstanding. At present, we have no plans to issue dividends.
See “Dividend Policy” for additional information. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company,
the holders of Common Stock are entitled to share pro rata all assets remaining after payment in full of all liabilities, subject to
prior distribution rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding. The Common Stock has no preemptive or conversion rights or other
subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock.
Preferred
Stock
Our
amended and restated articles of incorporation authorize shares of preferred stock and provide that shares of preferred stock may be
issued from time to time in one or more series. Our board of directors will be authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations,
powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions
thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. Our board of directors will be able to, without stockholder approval, issue shares
of preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the common
stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of our board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock without stockholder
approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or the removal of existing management.
Anti-Takeover
Effects of Nevada Law and Our Charter Documents
Certain
provisions of Nevada law and our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws could make more difficult the acquisition of us by means of a tender
offer or otherwise, and the removal of incumbent officers and directors. These provisions are expected to discourage certain types of
coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us.
Transfer
Agent
The
transfer agent for our Common Stock is Securities Transfer Corporation at 2901 N. Dallas Parkway, Suite 380, Plano, TX 75093. The transfer
agent’s telephone number is (469) 633-0101.
SELLING
STOCKHOLDERS
The
shares of Common Stock that may be offered and sold by the Selling Stockholders are those issuable to the Selling Stockholders upon conversion
of the Notes. For additional information regarding the issuance of the Notes see “Summary—Convertible Notes” above.
We are registering the resale of such shares of Common Stock in order to provide the Selling Stockholders with freely tradable securities.
The
table below lists the Selling Stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership (as determined under Section 13(d)
of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder) of the shares of Common Stock held by the Selling Stockholders. The second
column lists the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders, based on their respective ownership
of shares of Common Stock and Notes, as of September 27, 2023.
The
third column lists the shares of Common Stock that are being registered by this prospectus by the Selling Stockholders and does not take
in account any limitations on conversion of the Notes set forth therein.
In
accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, this prospectus generally covers the resale of 100% of the maximum number of shares
of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the Notes determined as if the outstanding Notes (including interest on the Notes through
the maturity date) were converted in full (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained therein solely for the purpose of
such calculation) at the Conversion Price. Because the conversion price of the Notes may be adjusted, the number of shares that may actually
be issued may be more or less than the number of shares that may be offered by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of
all of the shares that may be offered by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.
Under
the terms of the Notes, the Selling Stockholders may not convert the Notes to the extent (but only to the extent) such Selling Stockholder
or any of its affiliates would beneficially own a number of shares of our Common Stock which would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding capital
stock of the Company (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). The Selling Stockholders may sell all, some or none of their
shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”
The
ownership percentage indicated in the following table is based on 46,304,354 total outstanding shares of our Common Stock as of
September 27, 2023, which excludes, as of that date, approximately 2,724,377 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of the Notes, and approximately 5,729,360 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants.
In
computing the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a Selling Stockholder and the percentage ownership, we included
outstanding shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days
of September 27, 2023.

the sale of all shares that may be offered pursuant to this prospectus. In accordance with the Notes, in no event are we permitted

Notes and does not give effect to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or adjustments pursuant to the terms of the Notes. Accordingly,
actual beneficial ownership, as calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 thereunder, may be
higher or lower than as reflected in this table. |
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We
are registering the Shares to permit the resale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders from time to time after the date of this prospectus.
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders. We will bear all fees and expenses incident
to our obligation to register the Shares.
The
Selling Stockholders, which, as used herein, includes any of their respective permitted pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and
successors, may from time to time offer and sell some or all of the Shares covered by this prospectus. To the extent required, this prospectus
may be amended and supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.
A
Selling Stockholder may offer its Shares from time to time, either in increments or in a single transaction. A Selling Stockholder may
also decide not to sell all the Shares it is allowed to sell under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders will act independently of
us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale.
The
Selling Stockholders may, from time to time, sell any or all of their respective Shares on any stock exchange, market or trading facility
on which the Shares are traded or quoted, in the over-the-counter market or in private transactions. These sales may be at market prices
prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at fixed prices or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder
may use any one or more of the following methods when selling the Shares:
|
● |
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which a broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
|
|
|
|
● |
block
trades in which a broker-dealer will attempt to sell the Shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal
to facilitate the transaction; |
|
|
|
|
● |
purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
|
|
|
|
● |
an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
|
|
|
|
● |
privately
negotiated transactions; |
|
|
|
|
● |
to
cover short sales made after the date that this registration statement becomes effective; |
|
|
|
|
● |
an
agreement with broker-dealers to sell as agent for a Selling Stockholder a specified number of the Shares at a stipulated price per
share or otherwise at the prevailing market price; |
|
|
|
|
● |
through
put or call options, including the writing of exchange-traded call options, or other hedging transactions related to common shares,
including the issuance by a Selling Stockholder of derivative securities, whether the options or such other derivative securities
are listed on an options exchange or otherwise; |
|
|
|
|
● |
through
the distribution of the Shares by a Selling Stockholder to its partners, members or stockholders; |
|
|
|
|
● |
a
combination of any such methods of sale; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
A
Selling Stockholder may also sell the Shares under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available,
rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers
engaged by a Selling Stockholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from such Selling Stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser)
in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in
excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or
markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440-1.
In
connection with the sale of the Shares, a Selling Stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial
institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume. A Selling Stockholder
may also sell shares short and deliver Shares to close out its short positions, or loan or pledge the Shares to broker-dealers that in
turn may sell these shares. A Selling Stockholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial
institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution
of Shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus
(as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
A
Selling Stockholder and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the Shares may be deemed to be “underwriters”
within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers
or agents and any profit on the resale of the Shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under
the Securities Act. We are requesting that the Selling Stockholders inform us that they do not have any written or oral agreement or
understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Shares. We will pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us
incident to the registration of the Shares.
Because
a Selling Stockholder may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, it may be subject to
the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, including Rule 172 thereunder.
LEGAL
MATTERS
Certain
legal matters in connection with the securities will be passed upon for us by Holland & Hart LLP, Denver, Colorado.

15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Nevada
Law
Section
78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes permits a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made
a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he 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,
partnership joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he:
(a)
is not liable pursuant to Nevada Revised Statute 78.138, or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
In
addition, Section 78.7502 permits a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to
any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason
of the fact that he 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, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses,
including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense
or settlement of the action or suit if he:
(b)
is not liable pursuant to Nevada Revised Statute 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.
Section
78.751 of the Nevada Revised Statutes provides that to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above (or in defense of any claim, issue
or matter therein), the corporation is required to indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with the defense.
Section
78.751 of the Nevada Revised Statutes also provides that (unless otherwise restricted by the articles of incorporation, the bylaws or
an agreement made by the corporation) such indemnification may also include payment by the corporation of expenses incurred in defending
a civil or criminal action or proceeding as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon
receipt of an undertaking by(or on behalf of) a director or officer to repay such payment if he shall be ultimately found not to be entitled
to indemnification by the corporation. Indemnification may be provided even though the person to be indemnified is no longer a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation or such other entities.
Section
78.752 of the Nevada Revised Statutes allows a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on
behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise for
any liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent,
or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify him against such liability and expenses.
Other
financial arrangements made by the corporation pursuant to Section 78.752 may include the following:
(a)
the creation of a trust fund;
(b)
the establishment of a program of self-insurance;
(c)
the securing of its obligations of indemnification by granting a security interest or other lien on any assets of the corporation; and
(d)
the establishment of a letter of credit, guaranty or surety.
No
financial arrangement made pursuant to Section 78.752 may provide protection for a person adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction,
after exhaustion of all appeals, to be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, except with respect to
the advancement of expenses of indemnification ordered by a court.
Any
discretionary indemnification pursuant to Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant
to an undertaking to repay the amount if it is determined by a court that the indemnified party is not entitled to be indemnified by
the corporation, may be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of
the director, officer, employee or agent is proper under the circumstances. The determination must be made by:
(a)
the stockholders;
(b)
the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding;
(c)
independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action,
suit or proceeding so orders; or
(d)
independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding
cannot be obtained.
Subsection
7 of Section 78.138 of the Nevada Revised Statutes provides that, subject to certain very limited statutory exceptions or unless the
articles of incorporation or an amendment thereto provide for greater individual liability, a director or officer is not individually
liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity
as a director or officer, unless it is proven that the act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a
director or officer and such breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law.
Charter
Provisions and Other Arrangements
Pursuant
to the provisions of Nevada Revised Statutes, we have adopted the following indemnification provisions in our Articles of Incorporation
for our directors and officers:
Officers
and directors shall have no personal liability to the corporation of its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as an
officer or director. This provision does not eliminate or limit the liability of an officer or director for acts or omissions which involve
intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law or the payment of distributions in violation of the NRS 78.300.
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 SEC such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Item 16. Exhibits
The
following exhibits are included as part of this Registration Statement by reference:
* | Portions
of this exhibit have been omitted for confidentiality purposes. |
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 of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the 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 the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of 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 Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent 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 the registration statement or
any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided,
however, that 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 Securities and Exchange Commission
by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in
the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is a part of the registration
statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be anew 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)
each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the
date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii)
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 such form of 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.
(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
such undersigned Registrant;
(iii)
the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about such 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 of 1933, each filing
of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) 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 of 1933 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, the registrant has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf
by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Reno, State of Nevada, on September 29, 2023.
