6,346,834
Shares of Common Stock Issuable upon Exercise of Warrants
This
prospectus relates to the resale of up to 6,346,834 shares of the common stock, no par value per share (“Common Stock”)
of Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd. (“Company”, “us” or “we”) which may be offered by the
selling shareholders identified in this prospectus, from time to time. See “Selling Shareholders” for information
regarding the selling shareholders.
The
registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is registering for sale up to 5,653,500 additional shares of our Common
Stock that may be issued upon exercise of certain warrants, in addition to such shares which are being carried over from the 2021
Registration Statement and the 2018 Registration Statement (each as defined below) pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) as set forth below. The 5,653,500 shares of Common Stock being registered
for resale consist of (i) 3,655,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants (the “February 11, 2021 Warrants”)
issued by us to several accredited investors in connection with a private placement transaction closed on February 11, 2021, and
(ii) 1,998,500 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants (the “February 10, 2021 Warrants”) issued
by us to the same investors in connection with a private placement transaction closed on February 10, 2021.
We
previously filed a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-252398) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
on January 25, 2021, which was declared effective on February 4, 2021 (the “2021 Registration Statement”), registering
for resale up to 1,170,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of certain warrants (the “December 11, 2020 Warrants”)
issued by us to several accredited investors in connection with a private placement transaction closed on December 11, 2020, of
which 330,000 remain available for resale as of February 26, 2021.
We
also previously filed a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-224467) with the SEC on April 26, 2018, which was
initially declared effective on May 8, 2018 (the “2018 Registration Statement”), registering for resale up to
400,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of certain series “A” warrants (the “Series A
Warrants;” together with the February 11, 2021 Warrants, the February 10, 2021 Warrants and the December 11, 2020
Warrants, the “Warrants”) and 400,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of certain series
“B” warrants (the “Series B Warrants”), issued by us to several accredited investors in connection
with a private placement transaction closed on March 14, 2018, of which 363,334 underlying the Series A Warrants remain
eligible and available for resale as of February 26, 2021. The share numbers here reflect the effect of 1-for-5 reverse stock
split on July 7, 2020 (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
The
registration of the shares hereunder does not mean that the selling shareholders will actually offer or sell the full number of
the shares being registered pursuant to this prospectus. We will not receive any proceeds from the sales of shares of our Common
Stock by the selling shareholders; however we may receive proceeds through the cash exercise of warrants held by the selling shareholders.
The

of sale, at a fixed price or fixed prices, at negotiated prices, at various prices determined at the time of sale or at prices
related to prevailing market prices. See “Plan of Distribution” for more information about how the selling shareholders
may sell the shares of Common Stock being registered pursuant to this prospectus.

Our
Company
This
summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information
that you should consider before making an investment decision with respect to our securities. You should read this entire
prospectus carefully, especially any risk factors contained or incorporated by reference herein and our financial statements
and related notes contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus before making an investment decision with respect
to our securities. Please see the section titled, “Where You Can Find More Information,” beginning on page 15 of
this prospectus. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references to “SINO,” the “Company,”
“we,” “us” and “our” or similar terms refer to Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd., a
Virginia corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Overview
Sino-Global
Shipping America, Ltd. (“Sino,” the “Company,” or “we”), a Virginia corporation, was founded
in the United States (the “U.S.”) in 2001. Sino is a non-asset based global shipping and freight logistics integrated
solution provider. Sino provides tailored solutions and value-added services to its customers to drive effectiveness and control
in related aspects throughout the entire shipping and freight logistics chain. We operate in four operating segments, including
(1) shipping agency and management services, operated by our subsidiary in Hong Kong and the U.S.; (2) inland transportation management
services, operated by our subsidiaries in the U.S.; (3) freight logistics services, operated by our subsidiaries in the People’s
Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”) and the U.S.; and (4) container trucking services, operated by
our subsidiaries in the PRC and the U.S.
We
conduct our business primarily through our wholly-owned subsidiaries in the PRC (including Hong Kong) and the U.S., where a majority
of our clients are located.
Our
subsidiary in China, Trans Pacific Shipping Limited (“Trans Pacific Beijing”), a wholly owned foreign enterprise,
invested in one 90%-owned subsidiary, Trans Pacific Logistics Shanghai Limited (“Trans Pacific Shanghai;” Trans Pacific
Beijing and Trans Pacific Shanghai are referred to collectively as “Trans Pacific”). As PRC laws and regulations restrict
foreign ownership of local shipping agency service businesses, we provided our shipping agency services in the PRC through Sino-Global
Shipping Agency Ltd. (“Sino-China” or “VIE”), a Chinese legal entity, which holds the licenses and permits
necessary to operate local shipping agency services in the PRC. Trans Pacific Beijing and Sino-China do not have a parent-subsidiary
relationship. Trans Pacific Beijing has contractual arrangements with Sino-China and its shareholders that enable us to substantially
control Sino-China. Through Sino-China, we were able to provide local shipping agency services in all commercial ports in the
PRC. Sino-China is one of the committee members of China Association of Shipping Agencies & Non-Vessel-Operating Common Carriers
(“CASA”). CASA was approved to form by China Ministry of Communications. Sino-China is also our only entity that is
qualified to do shipping agency business in China. We keep the VIE to prepare ourselves for the market to turn around.

corporate structure diagram as of the date of this prospectus is as below:
Our
Strategy
Our
strategy is to:
|
●
|
Provide
better solutions for issues and challenges faced by the entire shipping and freight logistics chain to better serve our customers
and explore additional growth avenues.
|
|
●
|
Diversify
our current service offerings organically or through acquisitions and/or strategic alliance; continue to grow our business
in the U.S. market;
|
|
●
|
Continue
to streamline our business practice, optimize our cost structure and improve our operating efficiency through effective planning,
budgeting, execution and cost control and strengthening our IT infrastructure;

Continue
to reduce our dependency on our legacy business and few key customers; and
|
|
●
|
Continue
to monetize our relationships with our strategic partners and leverage their support and our innovation to expand our business.
|
With
the establishment of our subsidiary in Los Angeles, we added cargo forwarding services to our service platform in the second quarter
of fiscal 2017, which is included in our inland transportation business line for the year ended June 30, 2016. As we are developing
our cargo forwarding services, the Company provides freight logistics services and container trucking services as two new business
segments in fiscal 2017. During fiscal year 2018, the Company began to provide bulk cargo container services to the customers.
On November 13, 2019, the Company entered into a cooperation agreement with Shanming Liang, a director of Guangxi Jinqiao Industrial
Group Co., Ltd., to cooperate and expand the bulk cargo container services business.

RISK
FACTORS
Investing
in our securities has a high degree of risk. Before making an investment in our securities, you should carefully consider the
following risks, as well as the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including our consolidated
financial statements and related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.” The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties
of which we are unaware or that we believe are not material at this time could also materially adversely affect our business,
financial condition or results of operations. In any case, the value of our securities could decline and you could lose all or
part of your investment. See also the information contained under the heading “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements” elsewhere in this prospectus.
RISKS
RELATED TO THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
We
face risks related to health pandemics that could impact our sales and operating results.
Our
business could be adversely affected by the effects of a widespread outbreak of contagious disease, including the recent outbreak
of respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. Any outbreak of contagious
diseases, and other adverse public health developments, particularly in China, could have a material and adverse effect on our
business operations. These could include disruptions or restrictions on our ability to resume the general shipping agency services,
as well as temporary closures of our facilities and ports or the facilities of our customers and third-party service providers.
Any disruption or delay of our customers or third-party service providers would likely impact our operating results and the ability
of the Company to continue as a going concern. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population
could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of China and many other
countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could affect demand for our services and significantly impact our operating
results.
The
coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has had a significant impact on our operations since January 2020 and could materially adversely
affect our business and financial results for the remaining months of the 2021 calendar year.
Our
ability to manufacture and/or sell our products may be impaired by damage or disruption to our manufacturing, warehousing or distribution
capabilities, or to the capabilities of our suppliers, logistics service providers or distributors as a result of the impact from
the COVID-19. This damage or disruption could result from events or factors that are impossible to predict or are beyond our control,
such as raw material scarcity, pandemics, government shutdowns, disruptions in logistics, supplier capacity constraints, adverse
weather conditions, natural disasters, fire, terrorism or other events. In December 2019, COVID-19 emerged in Wuhan, China. In
compliance with the government mandates, the Company temporarily closed and its production operations were halted from late January
2020 through the middle of February 2020. During this closure, employees had only limited access to the Company’s facilities,
which led to delayed order manufacturing, assembly and fulfillment. While the spread of the disease has gradually returned under
control in China, COVID-19 could adversely affect our business and financial results for the remaining months of the year 2021.
As a result, there is a possibility that the Company’s revenues and operating cash flows may be significantly lower than
expected for fiscal year 2021.
RISKS
RELATED TO THIS OFFERING
Since
our management has broad discretion in how we use any proceeds that we may receive from the exercise of the Warrants, we may use
the proceeds in ways with which you disagree.
Our
management will have significant flexibility in applying any proceeds we may receive from the cash exercise of the Warrants. You
will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity,
as part of your investment decision, to influence how the proceeds are being used. It is possible that these proceeds will be
invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us. The failure of our management to use such funds effectively
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, prospects, operating results and cash flow.
Because
we are a small company, the requirements of being a public company, including compliance with the reporting requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and the Dodd-Frank Act, may strain our resources, increase our costs and distract
management, and we may be unable to comply with these requirements in a timely or cost-effective manner.
As
a public company with listed equity securities, we must comply with the federal securities laws, rules and regulations, including
certain corporate governance provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Act, related rules and regulations of the
SEC and the NASDAQ, with which a private company is not required to comply. Complying with these laws, rules and regulations occupies
a significant amount of the time of our Board of Directors and management and significantly increases our costs and expenses.
Among other things, we must:
|
●
|
maintain
a system of internal control over financial reporting in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act and the related rules and regulations of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;
|
|
●
|
comply
with rules and regulations promulgated by the NASDAQ;
|
|
●
|
prepare
and distribute periodic public reports in compliance with our obligations under the federal securities laws;
|
|
●
|
maintain
various internal compliance and disclosures policies, such as those relating to disclosure controls and procedures and insider
trading in our Common Stock;
|
|
●
|
involve
and retain to a greater degree outside counsel and accountants in the above activities;
|
|
●
|
maintain
a comprehensive internal audit function; and
|
|
●
|
maintain
an investor relations function.
|
Future
sales of our Common Stock, whether by us or our shareholders, could cause our stock price to decline.
If
our existing shareholders sell, or indicate an intent to sell, substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, the
trading price of our Common Stock could decline significantly. Similarly, the perception in the public market that our shareholders
might sell shares of our Common Stock could also depress the market price of our Common Stock. A decline in the price of shares
of our Common Stock might impede our ability to raise capital through the issuance of additional shares of our Common Stock or
other equity securities. In addition, the issuance and sale by us of additional shares of our Common Stock or securities convertible
into or exercisable for shares of our Common Stock, or the perception that we will issue such securities, could reduce the trading
price for our Common Stock as well as make future sales of equity securities by us less attractive or not feasible. The sale of
shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of our outstanding options and warrants could further dilute the holdings of our
then existing shareholders.
Securities
analysts may not cover our Common Stock and this may have a negative impact on the market price of our Common Stock.
The
trading market for our Common Stock will depend, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish
about us or our business. We do not have any control over independent analysts (provided that we have engaged various non-independent
analysts). We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by independent securities and industry analysts. If
no independent securities or industry analysts commence coverage of us, the trading price for our Common Stock would be negatively
impacted. If we obtain independent securities or industry analyst coverage and if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades
our Common Stock, changes their opinion of our shares or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our
stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly,
demand for our Common Stock could decrease and we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our stock
price and trading volume to decline.
You
may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings or other equity issuances.
We
may in the future issue additional shares of our Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares
of our Common Stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares of our Common Stock or other securities in any other
offering or other transactions at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by purchasers in
this offering. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our Common Stock or other securities convertible into
or exchangeable for our Common Stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering.
There
has been and may continue to be significant volatility in the volume and price of our Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
The
market price of our Common Stock has been and may continue to be highly volatile. Factors, including timing, progress and results
of the development of our newly added bulk cargo container tracking services and our mobile application that will provide a full-service
logistics platform between the U.S. and the PRC for short-haul trucking in the U.S.; regulatory matters, concerns about our financial
position, operations results, litigation, government regulation, or developments or disputes relating to agreements or proprietary
rights, may have a significant impact on the market volume and price of our stock. Unusual trading volume in our shares occurs
from time to time.
We
have not paid and do not intend to pay dividends on our Common Stock. Investors in this offering may never obtain a return on
their investment.
We
have not paid dividends on our Common Stock inception, and do not intend to pay any dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable
future. We intend to reinvest earnings, if any, in the development and expansion of our business. Accordingly, you will need to
rely on sales of your shares of Common Stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, in order to realize a return on
your investment.
The
trading market for our Common Stock is not always active, liquid and orderly, which may inhibit the ability of our shareholders
to sell Common Stock.
The
trading market for our Common Stock is not always active, liquid or orderly. The lack of an active market at times may impair
your ability to sell your shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. The lack of an
active market may also reduce the fair market value of your shares. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital
through the issuance of our equity securities (or securities that are convertible into or exercisable therefor).
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We
will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of our Common Stock in this offering. The selling shareholders
will receive all of the proceeds from this offering. However, we may receive proceeds in the aggregate amount of up to
$46,310,965 if all of the Warrants are exercised for cash. We cannot predict when, or if, these Warrants will be exercised.
It is possible that these Warrants may expire and may never be exercised. We intend to use any proceeds from the exercise of
these Warrants for general corporate and working capital purposes.
The
selling shareholders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the selling shareholders for
brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the selling shareholders in disposing of the shares.
We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the shares covered by this prospectus,
including all registration and filing fees, and fees and expenses of our counsel and our independent registered public accountants.
THE
PRIVATE PLACEMENTS
General

to the selling shareholders in two separate private placements under the 2021 Registration Statement and the 2018 Registration

14, 2018 Private Placement

March 12, 2018, the Company and accredited investors entered into a securities purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Company
agreed to sell to accredited investors an aggregate 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock in a registered direct offering, and the
Series A Warrants to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock and the Series B Warrants to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares
of Common Stock at an initial exercise price equal to $1.75 per share in a concurrent private placement, for gross proceeds of
$3 million. This offering closed on March 14, 2018, upon the satisfaction of all closing conditions.
The
Series A Warrants were initially exercisable beginning on September 14, 2018 and expire five and a half (5.5) years from the date
of issuance. The Series B Warrants were initially exercisable beginning on September 14, 2018 and expired thirteen (13) months
from the date of issuance. The exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series A
Warrants and the Series B Warrants are subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits or dividends, or other similar transactions,
but not as a result of future securities offerings at lower prices.
After
the close of the stock market on July 7, 2020, the Company effected a l-for-5 Reverse Stock Split of its Common Stock to
maintain its listing of its Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. As a result, an aggregate of 400,000 shares of Common
Stock were issuable upon the exercise of the Series A Warrants to the selling shareholders at an exercise price equal to
$8.75 per share. As of February 26, 2020, an aggregate of 363,334 shares of Common Stock remained issuable upon the
exercise of the Series A Warrants.
The
Company also agreed in the securities purchase agreement that it would file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-1
(or such other form as the Company is then eligible to use) as soon as practicable (and in any event within 45 calendar days of
the date of the Purchase Agreement) providing for the resale by the purchasers of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants, and that it would use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration
statement to become effective as soon as practicable. As a result, we filed the 2018 Registration Statement on April 26, 2018,
which was initially declared effective on May 8, 2018, and filed the post-effective amendment No. 1 to the 2018 Registration Statement
on December 6, 2018 which was declared effective on December 17, 2018. Following the effectiveness of the registration statement

SELLING
SHAREHOLDERS
The
following table sets forth the name of each selling shareholder and the number of shares of Common Stock that each selling shareholder
may offer from time to time pursuant to this prospectus. The shares of Common Stock that may be offered by the selling shareholders
hereunder may be acquired by the selling shareholders upon the exercise by the selling shareholders of the Warrants that are held
by the selling shareholders and that were previously issued in private transactions by our company. The shares of Common Stock
that may be offered by the selling shareholders hereunder are those which underlie Warrants issued pursuant to the private placements.
Except as otherwise indicated, we believe that each of the selling shareholders listed below has sole voting and investment power
with respect to such shares of Common Stock, subject to community property laws, where applicable.
Except
as noted in the table below, none of the selling shareholders has had a material relationship with us other than as a stockholder
at any time within the past three years or has ever been one of our or our affiliates’ officers or directors. Each
of the selling shareholders has acquired the Warrants (and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise thereof) in the
ordinary course of business and, at the time of acquisition of the Warrants, none of the selling shareholders was a party
to any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the shares of Common Stock to be resold
by such selling shareholders under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
Because
a selling shareholder may sell all, some or none of the shares of Common Stock that it holds that are covered by this prospectus,
and because the offering contemplated by this prospectus is not underwritten, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares
of our Common Stock that will be held by a selling shareholder upon termination of the offering. The information set forth in
the following table regarding the beneficial ownership after resale of shares is based upon the assumption that the selling shareholders
will sell all of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus.
In
accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, in computing the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by
a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares issuable through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, through
conversion of any security held by that person that are currently exercisable or that are exercisable within sixty (60) days are
included. These shares are not, however, deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other
person.

PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
The
selling shareholders and any of their pledgees, donees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any
or all of their shares of Common Stock being offered under this prospectus on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on
which our Common Stock is traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling shareholders
may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of the Shares:
|
●
|
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
|
|
●
|
block
trades in which the 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 resales 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 the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective
by the SEC;
|
|
●
|
broker-dealers
may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
|
|
●
|
a
combination of any of these methods of sale; and
|
|
●
|
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
|
The
shares may also be sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or any other exemption from registration under the Securities
Act, if available for a selling shareholder, rather than under this prospectus. The selling shareholders have the sole and absolute
discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if it deems the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at
any particular time.
The
selling shareholders may pledge their shares to their respective brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If
a selling shareholder defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares.
Broker-dealers
engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the selling shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser)
in amounts to be negotiated, which commissions as to a particular broker or dealer may be in excess of customary commissions to
the extent permitted by applicable law.
If
sales of shares offered under this prospectus are made to broker-dealers as principals, we would be required to file a post-effective
amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. In the post-effective amendment, we would be required
to disclose the names of any participating broker-dealers and the compensation arrangements relating to such sales.
The
selling shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares offered under this prospectus may
be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. Commissions
received by these 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. Any broker-dealers or agents that are deemed to be underwriters may not sell
shares of Common Stock offered under this prospectus unless and until we set forth the names of the underwriters and the material
details of their underwriting arrangements in a supplement to this prospectus or, if required, in a replacement prospectus included
in a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
The
selling shareholders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares offered under this prospectus
will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations under that act, including Regulation
M. These provisions may restrict activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by, the selling
shareholders or any other person. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited
from simultaneously engaging in market making and other activities with respect to those securities for a specified period of
time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. All of these limitations
may affect the marketability of the shares.
If
any of the shares offered for sale pursuant to this prospectus are transferred other than pursuant to a sale under this prospectus,
then subsequent holders could not use this prospectus until a post-effective amendment or prospectus supplement is filed, naming
such holders. We offer no assurance as to whether any of the selling shareholders will sell all or any portion of the shares offered
under this prospectus.
We
agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part effective
at all times until none of the selling shareholders owns any Warrants or shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise thereof.
The shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws.
In addition, in certain states, the shares covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale
in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
