SUMMARY
This
summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. This summary does not contain
all of the information that you should consider before investing in the Warrants or Common Stock of the Company. For a more complete
understanding of us and this offering, you should read and carefully consider the entire prospectus and the documents incorporated by

and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and our audited consolidated financial statements and the related
notes included in our 2021 Form 10-K and our 2022 Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, which are incorporated by reference
herein. Unless otherwise indicated in this prospectus, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”
refer to CEA Industries Inc. (formerly known as Surna Inc.) and, where appropriate, its wholly-owned subsidiary.
Overview
The
Company is an industry leader in CEA (Controlled Environment Agriculture) facility design, technologies, and services. The CEA industry
is one of the fastest-growing sectors of the United States’ economy and is defined by type of facility. The CEA industry is composed
of any horticultural facility that is fully self-contained and has a controlled environment. Three facility types meet these criteria:
●
Indoor facilities – environmentally sealed facilities for growing crops and that require artificial lighting.
●
Vertical farms –cultivation facilities oriented vertically to minimize ground square footage.
●
Greenhouses – facilities that are made of translucent materials to use natural sunlight on the crops.
Crops
grown in CEA facilities include: leafy greens (kale, Swiss chard, mustard, cress), microgreens (leafy greens harvested at the first true
leaf stage), ethnic vegetables, ornamentals and small fruits (such as strawberries, blackberries and raspberries), bell peppers, cucumbers,
tomatoes, cannabis and hemp. Historically, we have primarily served customers growing cannabis in indoor facilities and we are currently
pursuing our strategy to broaden our reach to serve other indoor farming facilities, including vertical farms.
We
provide full-service licensed architectural and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering services, carefully curated heating,
ventilation and air conditioning (“HVACD”) equipment, proprietary controls systems, air sanitation, lighting, and benching
and racking products. Our team (including both internal employees and outside partnerships) of project managers, licensed professional
architects and engineers, technology and horticulture specialists and systems integrations experts help our customers by precisely designing
for their unique applications. Through our partnership with a certified service contractor network, we provide maintenance services to
assist in a smooth build-out and ensure optimal facility performance.
We
leverage our industry-leading experience to bring value-added solutions to our customers that help improve their overall crop quality
and yield, optimize energy and water efficiency, and satisfy evolving state and local construction code, permitting and regulatory requirements.
Our revenue stream derives primarily from supplying our products, services and technologies to commercial indoor facilities ranging from
several thousand to more than 100,000 square feet.
CEA
facility operators face multiple headwinds from high energy costs, water usage and waste materials, and, in the case of cannabis growing,
increasingly rigorous quality standards and declining cannabis prices. To be competitive, among other things, our customers must develop
innovative ways to meet the demands of their business and reduce energy costs, 90% of which are typically related to their HVACD (50%)
and lighting systems (40%). HVACD systems have historically been and continue to be our primary area of expertise and energy efficiency
is high on our list of considerations when engineering environmental control systems.
We
often have the advantage of early engagement with our customers at the pre-build and construction phases and the corresponding opportunity
to build longer-term relationships with our existing customers. During 2021, we added architectural services to our offerings in an attempt
to engage with the customer at an even earlier stage. Going forward, we plan to leverage our existing customer relationships by introducing
them to our expanded design services along with our expanded product offerings. We believe these efforts will generate incremental revenue
and make us “stickier” to our customers.
We
have three core assets that we believe are important to our going-forward business strategy and that will contribute to our future growth.
First, we have a well-known brand name in the industry along with multi-year relationships with customers and others developed over our
fifteen years of service to the industry. This length of service and broad network of industry contacts will benefit not only our organic
growth initiatives, but also provide us with unique insight into other industry providers who may be appropriate for acquisition or joint
efforts. Second, we have specialized engineering know-how and experience gathered from designing environmental control systems for over
200 commercial CEA cultivation facilities. Third, we have an expanding line of proprietary and curated environmental control systems
and other core technology components needed to build a CEA facility.
Impact
of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Business
The
COVID-19 pandemic has prompted national, regional, and local governments, including those in the markets that the Company operates in,
to implement preventative or protective measures to control its spread. As a result, there have been disruptions in business operations
around the world, with an impact on our business.
In
response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated government and business response, the Company took and continues to take measures
to adjust its operations as necessary. In early 2020 the Company responded to reduced orders by reducing expenses in an effort to preserve
cash. As 2020 progressed and our sales rebounded, and we were able to obtain additional funds through a forgivable bank loan, we restored
our workforce and increased our operations. Many of these expense reductions were reversed by the end of 2021 when orders picked up and
the overall business climate improved. Because the pandemic continues in different parts of the world and in different ways in the United
States, the Company continues to actively monitor its operations.
We
are experiencing unexpected and uncontrollable delays with our international supply of products and shipments from vendors due to a significant
increase in shipments to U.S. ports, compounded by a reduction in cargo being shipped by air, a general shortage of containers, and a
shortage of domestic truck driver availability. While these delays have moderately improved in recent months, we, along with many other
importers of goods across all industries, continue to experience severe congestion and extensive wait times for carriers at ports across
the United States. In addition, restrictions imposed by local, state and federal agencies due to the COVID-19 pandemic have led to reduced
personnel of importers, government staff and others in our supply chain. We have been working diligently with our network of freight
partners and suppliers to expedite delivery dates and provide solutions to reduce further impact and delays. However, we are unable to
determine the full impact of these delays and how long they will continue as they are out of our control.
While
the Company is continuing to navigate the financial, operational, and personnel challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, the full
extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration
and spread of the pandemic, the potential uncertainty related to (and proliferation of) new strains, and related actions taken by federal,
state, local and international government officials, to prevent and manage the spread of COVID-19. All of these efforts are uncertain,
out of our control, and cannot be predicted at this time.
Impact
of Ukrainian Conflict
Currently,
we believe that the conflict between Ukraine and Russia does not have any direct impact on our operations, financial condition or financial
reporting. We believe the conflict will have only a general impact on our operations in the same manner as it is having a general impact
on all businesses that have their operations limited to North America resulting from international sanction and embargo regulations,
possible shortages of goods and goods incorporating parts that may be supplied from the Ukraine or Russia, supply chain challenges, and
the international and US domestic inflationary results of the conflict and government spending for and funding of our country’s
response. As our operations are related only to the North American controlled agricultural industry, largely within the cannabis space,
we do not believe we will be targeted for cyber-attacks. We have no operations in the countries directly involved in the conflict or
are specifically impacted by any of the sanctions and embargoes, as we principally operate in the United States and Canada. We do not
believe that the conflict will have any impact on our internal control over financial reporting. Other than general securities market
trends, we do not have reason to believe that investors will evaluate the company as having special risks or exposures related to the
Ukrainian conflict.
Recent
Developments
On
February 10, 2022, the Company completed a firm commitment underwriting for the public offering of shares of common stock and warrants,
which closed on February 15, 2022. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $21,711,000 for the sale of 5,811,138 shares of
common stock and 6,572,808 warrants, each warrant to purchase one share of common stock for five years, exercisable immediately, at an
exercise price of $5.00. The Company also issued to the representative of the underwriters 290,557 warrants, each warrant to purchase
one share of common stock at an exercise price of $5.16, during the period commencing August 9, 2022, and expiring on February 10, 2027.
The
net proceeds from the offering will be used to advance the Company’s organic growth and new product initiatives, to pursue select
acquisitions, and for general corporate and working capital purposes. In connection with this offering, we received approval to list
our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “CEAD” and our warrants under the symbol “CEADW”.
As a result, effective February 10, 2022, trading of both shares of the Company’s common stock and certain of the Company’s
warrants commenced on the Nasdaq.
On
February 16, 2022, the Company redeemed 1,650 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock for payment of $2.016 million in cash, which included
both principal and accrued dividends. At the same time, the remaining 1,650 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock were
converted into 362,306 shares of common stock and 703,070 warrants; 170,382 of the warrants, referred to as the Pre-Funded Warrants,
vested immediately, have an indefinite term and an exercise price of $0.01, and the balance of 532,688 warrants, referred to as the Public
Warrants, also vested immediately, have a term of 5 years and have an exercise price of $5.00.

prospectus. The matters summarized under “Prospectus Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion

In
light of these risks and uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking
statement that we make in this prospectus speaks only as of the date of such statement, and we undertake no obligation to update any
forward-looking statement or to publicly announce the results of any revision to any of those statements to reflect future events or
developments, except as required by applicable law. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express
any future trends or indications of future performance, unless specifically expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical
data.
RISK
FACTORS
You
should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the risks and uncertainties set forth under the heading “Risk Factors”
in our 2021 Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus, together with the financial and other information contained
in this prospectus, before you decide to purchase shares of our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, or if any
additional risks not presently known to us or that we have currently deemed immaterial occur, our business, financial condition, results
of operations, cash flows and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In such an event, the trading price of our common
stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment in our common stock.
Risks
Related to Our Common Stock
Our
common stock price may be volatile and may decrease substantially.
The
trading price of our common stock has fluctuated substantially, and we expect that it will continue to do so. The price of our common
stock in the market on any particular day depends on many factors including, but not limited to, the following:
| |
● |
price
and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
investor
demand for our shares and warrants; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
significant
volatility in the market price and trading volume of companies in the cannabis industry; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
variations
in our operating results and market conditions specific to our business; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
the
emergence of new competitors or new technologies; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
operating
and market price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
changes
in our Board of Directors or management; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
sales
or purchases of our common stock by insiders, including sales of our common stock issued to employees, directors and consultants
under our equity incentive plan which were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)
under our S-8 registration statement; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
commencement
of, or involvement in, litigation; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
changes
in governmental regulations, in particular with respect to the cannabis industry; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
actual
or anticipated changes in our earnings, and fluctuations in our quarterly operating results; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
market
sentiments about the cannabis industry; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
general
economic conditions and trends; and |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
departures
of any of our key employees. |
In
the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has
often been brought against that company. Due to the potential volatility of our stock price, we may therefore be the target of securities
litigation in the future. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources
from our business.
In
addition, if the market for stocks in our industry, or the stock market in general, experiences a loss of investor confidence, the market
price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition, or results of operations. If any
of the foregoing occurs, it could cause the price of our common stock to fall and may expose us to lawsuits that, even if unsuccessful,
could be costly to defend and a distraction to our Board of Directors and management.
Our
Board of Directors is authorized to reclassify any unissued shares of our preferred stock into one or more classes, which could convey
special rights and privileges to its owners.
Our
articles of incorporation permit our Board of Directors to reclassify any authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock into one
or more classes. Our Board of Directors will generally have broad discretion over the size and timing of any such classification, subject
to a finding that the classification and issuance of preferred stock is in our best interests. In the event our Board of Directors opts
to classify a portion of our unissued shares of preferred stock into a class of preferred stock, those preferred shares would have a
preference over our common stock with respect to dividends and liquidation. The cost of any classification would be borne by our existing
common stockholders. The class voting rights of any preferred shares we may issue could make it more difficult for us to take some actions
that may, in the future, be proposed by the Board of Directors and/or the holders of our common stock, such as a merger, exchange of
securities, liquidation, or alteration of the rights of a class of our securities, if these actions were perceived by the holders of
preferred shares as not in their best interests. These effects, among others, could have an adverse effect on your investment in our
common stock.
Registration
rights Rule 144 contains risks for certain shareholders.
From
time to time, we issue shares on an unregistered basis, which may be eligible for resale under SEC Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act or may require us to register with the SEC the securities for resale. In the event there are securities outstanding that can be sold
under Rule 144 or under a registration statement for resale, there may be market pressure on our stock to absorb the securities in respect
of the then market value of the Company.
We
have a substantial number of options and warrants outstanding, which if exercised for shares of common stock, may put pressure on the
market price of a share.
We
have sold to public and private investors a substantial number of warrants to purchase common stock from time to time over the next several
years. In addition, we have a substantial number of options and warrants outstanding held by investment bankers who provided us with
underwriting and placement services that were issued warrants and employees that were issued options. To the extent that these are exercised
for shares, there may be pressure on our stock price while the market absorbs them. The potential of exercise may also have the same
effect. Investors should expect that the options and warrants will be exercised when the stock price is substantially above the exercise
price.
We
do not anticipating paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
We
currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, for the foreseeable future, to repay indebtedness and to fund the development
and growth of our business. We do not intend to pay any dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any decision
to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our Board taking into account various factors, including
our business, operating results and financial condition, current and anticipated cash needs, plans for expansion, any legal or contractual
limitations on our ability to pay dividends under our loan agreements or otherwise. As a result, if our Board does not declare and pay
dividends, the capital appreciation in the price of our common stock, if any, will be your only source of gain on an investment in our
common stock, and you may have to sell some or all of your common stock to generate cash flow from your investment.
The
market price of our shares of common stock may be adversely affected by the sale of shares by our management or large stockholders.
Sales
of our shares of common stock by our officers or senior managers through 10b5-1 plans or otherwise or by large stockholders could adversely
and unpredictably affect the price of our common stock. Additionally, the price of our shares of common stock could be affected even
by the potential for sales by these persons. We cannot predict the effect that any future sales of our common stock, or the potential
for those sales, will have on our share price. Furthermore, due to relatively low trading volume of our stock, should one or more large
stockholders seek to sell a significant portion of their stock in a short period of time, the price of our stock may decline.
An
active, liquid trading market for our common stock and warrants may not develop or be sustained, and as a result, investors may not be
able to sell their common stock at or above their acquisition price, or at all.
Prior
to February 10, 2022, our common stock was quoted on the OTC Markets Group, Inc., OTCQB. Trading on the OTCQB marketplace was infrequent
and in limited volume. Although our common stock is now listed on Nasdaq, along with our public warrants, an active trading market for
these securities may never develop or be sustained. If an active trading market does not develop, investors will have difficulty selling
their shares of common stock and warrants at an attractive price, or at all. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise
capital and may impair our ability to expand our business by using our common stock and common stock related securities as consideration
in an acquisition.
You
may be diluted by future issuances of preferred stock or additional common stock in connection with our incentive plans, acquisitions
or otherwise; future sales of such shares in the public market, or the expectations that such sales may occur, could lower our stock
price.
Our
articles of incorporation authorizes us to issue shares of our common stock and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating
to our common stock for the consideration and on the terms and conditions established by our Board in its sole discretion. We could issue
a significant number of shares of common stock in the future in connection with investments or acquisitions. Any of these issuances could
dilute our existing stockholders, and such dilution could be significant. Moreover, such dilution could have a material adverse effect
on the market price for the shares of our common stock.
The
future issuance of shares of preferred stock with voting rights may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of shares of our
common stock, either by diluting the voting power of our common stock if the preferred stock votes together with the common stock as
a single class, or by giving the holders of any such preferred stock the right or ability to block an action on which they have a separate
class vote, even if the action were approved by the holders of our shares of our common stock.
The
future issuance of shares of preferred stock with dividend or conversion rights, liquidation preferences or other economic terms favorable
to the holders of preferred stock, when compared to the rights of the common stockholders, could adversely affect the market price for
our common stock by making an investment in the common stock less attractive. For example, investors in the common stock may not wish
to purchase common stock at a price above the conversion price of a series of convertible preferred stock because the holders of the
preferred stock would effectively be entitled to purchase common stock at the lower conversion price, causing economic dilution to the
holders of common stock.
Risks
Related to Our Warrants
There
has not been an active, long term or sustained trading market for the warrants, which could harm the market price of the warrants, and
you may not be able to resell the warrants at or above the price paid for the warrants or the exercise price of the warrants.
There
is a risk that an active trading market for the warrants may not develop or be sustained. The Exercise price of the warrants, and the
value of our company, were determined by negotiations among the underwriters and us in connection with the February 2022 public offering.
The warrants may not trade at prices that equal or are greater than the initial offering price of the warrants, the price paid for the
warrants or the exercise price of the warrants. of securities sold hereby. In the absence of an active trading market for the warrants,
investors may not be able to sell their warrants or sell them at a price that will generate a profit.
The
market price of the warrants may be volatile and you could lose all or part of your investment.
The
price of the securities of publicly traded companies, such as the Company, has been highly volatile and is likely to remain highly volatile
in the future. As a result of this volatility, you may not be able to sell your warrants. The market price of the warrants may fluctuate
significantly due to a variety of factors, including market factors, our financial results, the prospects for our business, and changes
in government regulation relating to the cannabis industry. General industry factors may cause the market price and demand for our securities
to fluctuate substantially
The
Warrants are speculative in nature.
The
warrants represent the right to acquire our common stock at a fixed cash price, for a limited period of time. While the Company maintains
an effective registration statement a warrant only may be exercised for cash, and if we do not do so, then the warrants may be exercised
on a cashless basis. If the warrants are not exercised before they expire, the warrants may not provide any value to the holder thereof.
It is usual that the price of a warrant in the public market is more volatile than that of the corresponding common stock for which it
is exercisable. Therefore, investors should expect the price of a warrant to fluctuate to a greater degree than our common stock, and
correspondingly be more speculative.
Holders
of the warrants do not have any rights of the holders of common stock until the warrants are exercised.
The
warrants being offered do not confer any of the rights afforded to the holders of our common stock, such as voting rights, the right
to receive dividends or liquidation rights, but rather merely represent the right to acquire shares of common stock at a fixed price.
There
is no assurance that any of the warrants will be exercised and provide additional working capital to the Company.
It
is not expected that the warrants will be exercised unless the price of a share of common stock in the market is substantially above
the then exercise price. There can be no assurance that our common stock price will be sufficiently high on a sustained basis to encourage
warrant holders to exercise their warrants. The warrants also have a net exercise right if we do not maintain a registration statement
to permit the warrants to be exercised for registered common stock, in which exercise instanced, the Company will not receive any cash
proceeds. There can be no assurance that we will receive cash proceeds from the exercise of the warrants.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
All
of the Warrants and Common Stock offered by the Selling Securityholder pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Securityholder
for its account. We will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales. However, we will receive up to an aggregate of approximately
$2,665,140 from the exercise of the Warrants, assuming the exercise in full of all of the Warrants for cash. There is no assurance that
any of the Warrants will be exercised. We expect to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants for general corporate purposes.
The
Selling Securityholder will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the Selling Securityholder for brokerage,
accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the Selling Securityholder in disposing of the Warrants and Common
Stock offered under this prospectus. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the Warrants
and Common Stock covered by this prospectus, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, any NASDAQ listing fees,
and fees and expenses of our counsel and our independent registered public accountants.
DIVIDEND
POLICY
Since
our inception, we have not paid any dividends on our common stock, and we currently expect that, for the foreseeable future, all earnings,
if any, will be retained for use in the development and operation of our business. In the future, our Board may decide, at its discretion,
whether dividends may be declared and paid to holders of our common stock.
SELLING
SECURITYHOLDER
This
prospectus relates to the possible sale by the Selling Securityholder of up to 532,688 Public Warrants, up to 170,382 Pre-Funded Warrants
and up to 710,890 shares of Common Stock, which number of shares of Common Stock includes the Common Stock that may be issued
on exercise of the Warrants. Evergreen Capital Management LLC acquired its shares of Common Stock, and its Public Warrants and Pre-Funded
Warrants in connection with the redemption of 1,650 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock. The Selling Securityholder may from time
to time offer and sell any or all of the Public Warrants, Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Stock, offered by this prospectus, as set forth
below. When we refer to the “Selling Securityholder” in this prospectus, we mean the person listed in the table below, and
the pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees, successors, distributees and others who later come to hold any of the Selling Securityholder’s
interest in the Public Warrants, Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Stock, other than through a public sale.
The
following table sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus, (i) the Selling Securityholder, (ii) the number of Warrants and number
of shares of Common Stock that the Selling Securityholder beneficially owned as of May 31, 2022, (iii) the number of Warrants and shares
of Common Stock proposed to be sold in this offering by the Selling Securityholder, and (iv) the number of Warrants and shares of Common
Stock that will be beneficially owned by the Selling Securityholder following this offering.
Beneficial
ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC and generally means that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if
he, she, or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power of that security, including securities underlying warrants and options
that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of May 31, 2022. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed a
beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she has no economic
interest.
Our
calculation of the percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 6,863,365 Public Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants and on 7,784,444
shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 31, 2022.

and no interest in either the Public Warrants or the Pre-Funded Warrants and their underlying shares of Common Stock. The
business address of Evergreen Capital Management LLC (“Evergreen”) is 156 W. Saddle River Road, Saddle River, NJ 07458.
Jeffrey Pazdro is the Manager of Evergreen and, accordingly, he may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the Warrants and Common
Stock owned by Evergreen. Mr. Pazdro disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of any pecuniary interest
therein. |
CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On
January 7, 2021, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with RSX Enterprises, Inc. (RSX), a company controlled by Mr. James
R. Shipley, a director of the Company. RSX provided consulting services to the Company focused on product offerings, engineering requirements,
key customer marketing outreach, and related matters, as mutually determined by the Company and RSX. The Company paid a monthly consulting
fee of $6,500 for up to 50 hours per month for the various consulting activities undertaken and provided for reimbursement of expenses.
The total amount paid on this agreement was $19,500. The term of the agreement was set for three months. Any intellectual property developed
by RSX will belong to the Company, and the contract provides for typical indemnification obligations and confidentiality provisions.
The
Company entered into a manufacturer representative agreement with RSX Enterprises in March 2021 to become a non-exclusive representative
for the Company to assist in marketing and soliciting orders. James R. Shipley, a current director of the Company, has a significant
ownership interest in RSX.
Under
the manufacturer representative agreement, RSX will act as a non-exclusive representative for the Company within the United States, Canada
and Mexico and may receive a commission for qualified customer leads. The agreement has an initial term through December 31, 2021, with
automatic one-year renewal terms unless prior notice is given 90 days prior to each annual expiration. During the year ended December
31, 2021, the Company paid $42,639 in commissions under this agreement.
During
2021, except as discussed above, there have been no transactions in which the Company was or is a participant, and there are no currently
proposed transactions in which the Company is to be a participant, in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or 1%
of the Company’s average assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any director, executive officer
or beneficial holder of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities or member of such person’s immediate family had or will
have a direct or indirect material interest.

SHARES
ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Shares
of our common stock are traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “CEAD.” Future sales of substantial amounts
of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect market prices prevailing
from time to time.
As
of May 31, 2022, we had 7,784,444 shares of common stock outstanding. Of these shares, 7,718,354 shares of our common stock are freely
transferable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. Of the remaining shares of outstanding common stock,
66,090 shares are “restricted shares” as defined in Rule 144. Restricted shares may be sold in the public market only if
registered under the Securities Act or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144. As a result of the lock-up
period described below, the shares subject to lock-up arrangements will be available for sale in the public market only after August
9, 2022 (generally subject to resale limitations).
Rule
144
In
general, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months would be entitled to sell
such securities, provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during
the 90 days preceding, the sale and (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least 90 days before
the sale. Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months but who are our affiliates
at the time of, or any time during the 90 days preceding, the sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person
would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of the following:
| |
● |
1%
of the number of shares of our common stock then outstanding; or |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
the
average weekly trading volume of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing
of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale; |
provided,
in each case, that we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least 90 days before the sale. Such sales
both by affiliates and by non-affiliates must also comply with the manner of sale and notice provisions of Rule 144 to the extent applicable.
Lock-up
Agreements
In
connection with our recently completed underwritten public offering of 5,811,138 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to
5,811,138 shares of common stock, we, each of our directors and executive officers, and our 5% and greater stockholders, have agreed
not to or are otherwise restricted in their ability to, subject to certain limited exceptions, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell,
grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable
for common stock, or to enter into any hedge or other arrangement or any transaction that transfers, directly or indirectly, the economic
consequence of ownership of the shares of our common stock, in the case of the Company for a period of 90 days after February 10, 2022
(the date of the prospectus with respect to the offering), and in the case of our directors and executive officers and our 5% and greater

We
are registering 532,688 Public Warrants, 170,382 Pre-Funded Warrants, and 710,890 shares of Common Stock, including the shares
of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of the Warrants if the Warrants are exercised for possible sale by the Selling Securityholder.
The
securities beneficially owned by the Selling Securityholder covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by the
Selling Securityholder. The term “Selling Securityholder” includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest
selling the Public Warrants, Pre-Funded Warrants or Common Stock received after the date of this prospectus from the Selling Securityholder
as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer. The Selling Securityholder will act independently of
us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in
the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and under terms then prevailing, at fixed prices, at prices related to the then current
market price, prices determined at the time of sale or in negotiated transactions. The Selling Securityholder may offer and sell their
securities by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods:
| |
● |
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such
broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
broker solicits purchasers; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
block trades in which the
broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the warrants as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal
to facilitate the transaction; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
an over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules
of the Nasdaq Capital Market; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
through trading plans entered into by the Selling Securityholder

|
| |

exchange or other similar offerings through sales agents; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
in privately negotiated transactions; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
in options transactions; and |

through a combination of any of the above methods of sale,
as described below or any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
In
addition, any securities that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
To
the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. In
connection with distributions of the Public Warrants or otherwise, the Selling Securityholder may enter into hedging transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions
may engage in short sales of the Public Warrants in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the Selling Securityholder.
The Selling Securityholder may also sell the securities short and redeliver the securities to close out such short positions. The Selling
Securityholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the
delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer
or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The Selling
Securityholder may also pledge securities to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer
or other financial institution, may effect sales of the pledged securities pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to
reflect such transaction).
The
Selling Securityholder may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to
third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives,
the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions.
If so, the third party may use securities pledged by the Selling Securityholder or borrowed from the Selling Securityholder or others
to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of warrants or stock, and may use securities received from the Selling
Securityholder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions
will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, the
Selling Securityholder may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell
the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position
to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.
The
Selling Securityholder may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the securities it owns that are
covered by this prospectus, and, if it defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer
and sell those securities, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or
other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of Selling Securityholder to include the pledgee, transferee or other
successors in interest as Selling Securityholders under this prospectus. The Selling Securityholder may also transfer or distribute the
securities covered by this prospectus in other circumstances, including to its members, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other
successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
The
Selling Securityholder may sell the securities covered by this prospectus directly. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be
involved.
The
Selling Securityholder may sell the securities covered by this prospectus to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be
underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any sale of such Public Warrants. The terms of any sales of the
securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The
securities covered by this prospectus may also be offered and sold, if so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, in connection
with a remarketing upon their purchase, in accordance with a redemption or repayment pursuant to their terms, or otherwise, by one or
more marketing firms, acting as principals for their own accounts or as agents for the Selling Securityholder. Any remarketing firm will
be identified and the terms of its agreement, if any, with the Selling Securityholder and its compensation will be described in the applicable
prospectus supplement.
If
indicated in the prospectus supplement, the Selling Securityholder may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from
certain types of institutions to purchase the securities covered by this prospectus at the public offering price under delayed delivery
contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only
to those conditions described in the applicable prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the commission
payable for solicitation of those contracts.
In
effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the Selling Securityholder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate.
Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Securityholder in amounts to be negotiated
immediately prior to the sale.
In
offering the securities covered by this prospectus, the Selling Securityholder and any broker-dealers who execute sales for the Selling
Securityholder may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales.
Any profits realized by the Selling Securityholder and the compensation of any broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting discounts
and commissions.
In
order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the Public Warrants, Pre-Funded Warrants and shares of Common
Stock must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the 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 is complied with.
We
have advised the Selling Securityholder that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of
securities covered by this prospectus in the public market and to the activities of the Selling Securityholder and its affiliates. In
addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Securityholder for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Securityholder may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions
involving the sale of the securities covered by this prospectus against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the
Securities Act.
At
the time a particular offer of securities is made, if required, a prospectus supplement will be distributed that will set forth the kind
and number of securities being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent, the purchase
price paid by any underwriter, any discount, commission and other item constituting compensation, any discount, commission or concession
allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer, and the proposed selling price to the public.
Exercise
of Warrants
The
Public Warrants may be exercised upon the surrender of the certificate evidencing such warrant on or before the expiration date at the
offices of the warrant agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York,
with the subscription form, as set forth in the Public Warrant, duly executed, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by
certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of Public Warrants being exercised. No fractional shares or scrip representing
fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of the Public Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the holder would otherwise
be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final
fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price or round up to the next whole share.
The
Pre-Funded Warrants may be exercised upon the surrender of the certificate evidencing such warrant on or before the expiration date at
the offices of the Company, in Louisville, Colorado, with the subscription form, as set forth in the Pre-Funded Warrant, duly executed,
accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of Pre-Funded Warrants
being exercised. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrant.
As to any fraction of a share which the holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its
election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise
price or round up to the next whole share.
The
prices at which the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants covered by this prospectus may actually be disposed of may be at fixed
prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined
at the time of sale or at negotiated prices.
