of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders, the purchasers of the shares, or both. Any participating broker-dealers
and any selling shareholders who are affiliates of broker-dealers may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and any commissions or discounts given to any such broker-dealer or affiliates
of a broker-dealer may be regarded as underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The selling shareholders have informed
us that they do not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute their common shares. See
“Plan of Distribution” for a more complete description of the ways in which the shares may be sold.

Our Company
Overview
We are an acquisition holding company focused
on acquiring and managing a group of small businesses, which we characterize as those that have an enterprise value of less than $50 million,
in a variety of different industries headquartered in North America.
Through our structure, we offer investors an opportunity
to participate in the ownership and growth of a portfolio of businesses that traditionally have been owned and managed by private equity
firms, private individuals or families, financial institutions or large conglomerates. We believe that our management and acquisition
strategies will allow us to achieve our goals to make and grow regular distributions to our common shareholders and increasing common
shareholder value over time.
We seek to acquire controlling interests in small
businesses that we believe operate in industries with long-term macroeconomic growth opportunities, and that have positive and stable
earnings and cash flows, face minimal threats of technological or competitive obsolescence and have strong management teams largely in
place. We believe that private company operators and corporate parents looking to sell their businesses will consider us to be an attractive
purchaser of their businesses. We make these businesses our majority-owned subsidiaries and actively manage and grow such businesses.
We expect to improve our businesses over the long term through organic growth opportunities, add-on acquisitions and operational improvements.
Our Businesses
Retail and Appliances
Our retail and appliances business is
operated by Asien’s Appliance, Inc., a California corporation, or Asien’s. This business segment, which was acquired in the
second quarter of 2020, accounted for approximately 21.8% and 41.6% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021,
respectively.
Since 1948, we have been providing a wide variety
of appliance services, including sales, delivery/installation, in-home service and repair, extended warranties, and financing in the North
Bay area of Sonoma County, California. Our main focus is delivering personal sales and exceptional service to our customers at competitive
prices. We operate one of the area’s oldest appliance stores and are well known and highly respected throughout the North Bay area.
We have strong, established relationships with customers and contractors in the community. We provide products and services to a diverse
group of customers, including homeowners, builders, and designers. As a member of BrandSource, a buying group that offers vendor programs,
factory direct deals, marketing support, opportunity buys, close-outs, consumer rebates, finance offers, and similar benefits, we offer
a full line of top brands from U.S. and international manufacturers.
Custom Carpentry
Our custom carpentry business is operated
through our subsidiaries Kyle’s Custom Wood Shop, Inc., an Idaho corporation, or Kyle’s, High Mountain Door & Trim Inc.,
a Nevada corporation, or High Mountain, and Sierra Homes, LLC d/b/a Innovative Cabinets & Design, a Nevada limited liability company,
or Innovative Cabinets. Kyle’s was acquired in the third quarter of 2020 and High Mountain and Innovative Cabinets were acquired
in the fourth quarter of 2021. This business segment accounted for approximately 64.9% and 39.8% of our total revenues for the years
ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
We specialize in all aspects of finished carpentry
products and services, including doors, door frames, base boards, crown molding, cabinetry, bathroom sinks and cabinets, bookcases, built-in
closets, and fireplace mantles, among others. We also install windows and kitchen countertops. We primarily service large homebuilders
and homeowners of single-family homes and commercial and multi-family developers in the greater Reno-Sparks-Fernley metro area in Nevada
and in the Boise, Idaho area.
Automotive Supplies
Our automotive supplies business is operated
by Wolo Mfg. Corp., a New York corporation, and Wolo Industrial Horn & Signal, Inc., a New York corporation (which we collectively
refer to as Wolo). This business segment, which was acquired at the end of the first quarter of 2021, accounted for approximately 13.3%
and 18.6% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Our automotive supplies business is headquartered
in Deer Park, New York and was founded in 1965. We design and sell horn and safety products (electric, air, truck, marine, motorcycle
and industrial equipment), and offer vehicle emergency and safety warning lights for cars, trucks, industrial equipment and emergency
vehicles. Focused on the automotive and industrial after-market, we sell our products to big-box national retail chains, through specialty
and industrial distributors, as well as on- line/mail order retailers and original equipment manufacturers.
Eyewear Products
Our eyewear products business is operated
by ICU Eyewear Holdings, Inc., a California corporation, and its subsidiary ICU Eyewear, Inc., a California corporation (which we collectively
refer to as ICU Eyewear). This business was acquired in the first quarter of 2023.
ICU Eyewear, which was founded in 1956 and
is headquartered in Hollister, California, is a leading designer of over-the-counter, or OTC, non-prescription reading glasses, sunglasses,
blue light blocking eyewear, sun readers and outdoor specialty sunglasses, as well as select health and personal care items, such as
surgical face masks. We sell our products to big-box national retail chains, through various distributors, as well as online direct to
consumer sales. We believe that we are the only OTC eyewear supplier in the U.S. to have meaningful penetration in all significant retail
channels including grocery, specialty, office supply, pharmacy, and outdoor sports stores.
Our Manager
We have engaged 1847 Partners LLC, which we refer
to as our manager, to manage our day-to-day operations and affairs, oversee the management and operations of our businesses and perform
certain other services on our behalf, subject to the oversight of our board of directors. Ellery W. Roberts, our Chief Executive Officer,
is the sole manager of our manager and, as a result, our manager is an affiliate of Mr. Roberts.
We have entered into a management services
agreement with our manager, pursuant to which we are required to pay our manager a quarterly management fee equal to 0.5% (2.0% annualized)
of our company’s adjusted net assets (as defined in the management services agreement) for services performed. Pursuant to the
management services agreement, we have agreed that our manager may, at any time, enter into offsetting management services agreements
with our businesses pursuant to which our manager may perform services that may or may not be similar to management services. Any fees
to be paid by one of our businesses pursuant to such agreements are referred to as offsetting management fees and will offset, on a dollar-for-dollar
basis, the management fee otherwise due and payable by us under the management services agreement with respect to a fiscal quarter. Our
manager has entered into offsetting management services agreements with our subsidiaries 1847 Asien Inc., 1847 Cabinet Inc., 1847 Wolo
Inc. and 1847 ICU Holdings Inc., which provide for the payment of quarterly management fees equal to the greater of $75,000 or 2% of
adjusted net assets; provided that the fee for 1847 Cabinet Inc. is the greater of $125,000 or 2% of adjusted net assets. The management
services agreement provides that the aggregate amount of offsetting management fees to be paid to our manager with respect to any fiscal
quarter shall not exceed the management fee to be paid to our manager with respect to such fiscal quarter.
Our manager also owns all of our allocation shares,
which are a separate class of limited liability company interests. The allocation shares generally will entitle our manager to receive
a 20% profit allocation upon the sale of a particular subsidiary, calculated based on whether the gains generated by such sale (in excess
of a high-water mark) plus certain historical profits of the subsidiary exceed an annual hurdle rate of 8% (which rate is multiplied by
the subsidiary’s average share of our consolidated net assets). Once such hurdle rate has been exceeded, then the profit allocation
becomes payable to our manager.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities involves a high
degree of risk. You should consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed under “Part I-Item 1A-Risk Factors”
of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in “Part II-Item 1A-Risk Factors” in our most recent Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q filed subsequent to such Form 10-K that are incorporated herein by reference, as may be amended, supplemented or superseded
from time to time by other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, in the future. The risks and uncertainties
we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem
immaterial may also affect our operations.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus, each prospectus supplement and
the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus and each prospectus supplement contain certain statements that constitute
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,”
“continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “could,” “would,”
“project,” “plan,” “potentially,” “likely,” and similar expressions and variations thereof
are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Those statements
appear in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated herein and therein by reference, particularly
in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations” and include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of our management that are subject to
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. You are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees
of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statements as a result of various factors.
Because forward-looking statements are inherently
subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely upon forward-looking statements
as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur
and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law,
including the securities laws of the United States and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we do not plan to publicly update or revise
any forward-looking statements contained herein after we distribute this prospectus, whether as a result of any new information, future
events or otherwise.
In addition, statements that “we believe”
and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available
to us as of the date of this prospectus, and although we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information
may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted a thorough inquiry into, or review
of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly
rely upon these statements.
This prospectus and the documents incorporated
by reference in this prospectus may contain market data that we obtain from industry sources. These sources do not guarantee the accuracy
or completeness of the information. Although we believe that our industry sources are reliable, we do not independently verify the information.
The market data may include projections that are based on a number of other projections. While we believe these assumptions to be reasonable
and sound as of the date of this prospectus, actual results may differ from the projections.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the
sale of common shares by the selling shareholders. We may, however, receive up to approximately $11.3 million from the exercise of warrants
held by selling shareholders. We will retain broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds to us. We currently expect to use the
net proceeds that we receive from the exercise of warrants for working capital and other general corporate purposes. We may also use
a portion of the net proceeds to acquire, license or invest in complementary products, technologies or businesses. The expected use of
net proceeds represents our current intentions based on our present plans and business conditions. We cannot specify with certainty all
of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon exercise of the warrants. Pending these uses, we may invest the net proceeds
of this offering in short- and intermediate-term, interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit
or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government.
The selling shareholders will pay any underwriting
discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by them for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred
by them 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, without limitation, all registration and filing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our
accountants.
DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL
The description of our share capital is incorporated
by reference to Exhibit 4.1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on April
11, 2023.
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
The common shares being offered by the selling
shareholders are those restricted common shares previously issued to the selling shareholders, common shares issuable to the selling shareholders
upon the exercise of warrants, shares issuable to the selling shareholders upon the conversion of our series A senior convertible preferred
shares and series B senior convertible preferred shares, and additional common shares that may be issued as payment of dividends on our
series A senior convertible preferred shares and series B senior convertible preferred shares and/or upon certain adjustments to the conversion
price of our series B senior convertible preferred shares. We are registering the shares in order to permit the selling shareholders to
offer the shares for resale from time to time.
We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance
with the rules of the SEC. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the
persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares that they beneficially
own, subject to applicable community property laws. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes below, based on the information provided
to us by or on behalf of the selling shareholders, no selling shareholder is a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer.
The table below lists the selling shareholders
and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the common shares by each of the selling shareholders. The second column lists
the number of common shares beneficially owned by each selling shareholder. The third column lists the common shares being offered by
this prospectus by the selling shareholders. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the ordinary shares offered by the selling shareholders
pursuant to this prospectus.
Applicable percentage ownership is based on
4,655,636 common shares outstanding as of April 26, 2023. For purposes of computing percentage ownership after this offering, we have
assumed that all common shares held by the selling shareholders will be sold in this offering and that all series A senior convertible
preferred shares, series B senior convertible preferred shares and warrants held by the selling shareholders will be converted to common
shares and sold in this offering. In computing the number of common shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership
of that person, we deemed to be outstanding all common shares subject to options, warrants or other convertible securities held by that
person or entity that are currently exercisable or releasable or that will become exercisable or releasable within 60 days of April 26,
2023. We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the series A senior convertible preferred shares, series B senior convertible preferred shares and warrants held by certain
selling shareholders contain ownership limitations, such that the we shall not effect any conversion or exercise of such securities to
the extent that after giving effect to the issuance of common shares upon conversion or exercise thereof, such holder, together with
its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of common shares outstanding immediately after giving effect
to the issuance of such common shares, which such limitation may be waived by us upon no fewer than 61 days’ prior notice. Therefore,
if a selling shareholder subject to these limitations would beneficially own in excess of 4.99%, we have reduced the applicable percentage
to 4.99%.
The selling shareholders may sell all, some or
none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling shareholders and any of their pledgees,
donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their common shares on any stock
exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or quoted or in private transactions. These sales will occur at fixed
prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices.
The selling shareholders may use any one or more
of the following methods when selling shares:
| ● | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits investors; |
| ● | 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 resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| ● | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| ● | privately negotiated transactions; |
| ● | through the writing of options on the shares; |
| ● | 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; and |
| ● | a combination of any such methods of sale. |
The selling shareholders may also sell shares
under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. The selling shareholders shall 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 or their respective pledgees,
donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may also sell the shares directly to market makers acting as principals and/or broker-dealers
acting as agents for themselves or their customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions
or commissions from the selling shareholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom
they sell as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market
makers and block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and at their own risk. It is possible that a selling
shareholder will attempt to sell shares in block transactions to market makers or other purchasers at a price per share which may be below
the then existing market price. We cannot assure that all or any of the shares offered in this prospectus will be issued to, or sold by,
the selling shareholders. The selling shareholders and any brokers, dealers or agents, upon effecting the sale of any of the shares offered
in this prospectus, may be deemed to be “underwriters” as that term is defined under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act
and the rules and regulations of such acts. 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 required to pay all fees and expenses incident
to the registration of the shares, including fees and disbursements of counsel to the selling shareholders, but excluding brokerage commissions
or underwriter discounts.
The selling shareholders, alternatively, may sell
all or any part of the shares offered in this prospectus through an underwriter. The selling shareholders have not entered into any agreement
with a prospective underwriter and there is no assurance that any such agreement will be entered into.
The selling shareholders may pledge their shares
to their 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. The selling shareholders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution
of the shares will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations under such act, including, without
limitation, Regulation M. These provisions may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the
shares by, the selling shareholders or any other such person. In the event that any of the selling shareholders are deemed an affiliated
purchaser or distribution participant within the meaning of Regulation M, then the selling shareholders will not be permitted to engage
in short sales of common shares. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from
simultaneously engaging in market making and certain other activities with respect to such securities for a specified period of time prior
to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. In addition, if a short sale is deemed to be
a stabilizing activity, then the selling shareholders will not be permitted to engage in a short sale of our shares. All of these limitations
may affect the marketability of the shares.
If a selling shareholder notifies us that it has
a material arrangement with a broker-dealer for the resale of the shares, then we would be required to amend the registration statement
of which this prospectus is a part, and file a prospectus supplement to describe the agreements between the selling shareholder and the
broker-dealer.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Certain provisions of our operating agreement
are intended to be consistent with Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which provides that a corporation
has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request
of the corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses incurred in connection with an action or proceedings to which
he is, or is threatened to be made, a party by reason of such position, if such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner
he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal proceedings, if such person
had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation,
no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such indemnification is proper under the circumstances.
Our operating agreement includes a provision that
eliminates the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:
| ● | for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the company or its members; |
| ● | for acts or omissions not in good faith or a knowing violation of law; |
| ● | regarding unlawful distributions and interest purchases analogous to Section 174 of the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware; or |
| ● | for any transaction from which the director derived an improper benefit. |
Our operating agreement provides that:
| ● | we must indemnify our directors and officers to the equivalent extent permitted by General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware; |
| ● | we may indemnify our other employees and agents to the same extent that we indemnify our officers and
directors, unless otherwise determined by our board of directors; and |
| ● | we must advance expenses, as incurred, to our directors and executive officers in connection with a legal
proceeding to the extent permitted by Delaware law and may advance expenses as incurred to our other employees and agents, unless otherwise
determined by our board of directors. |
The indemnification provisions contained in our
operating agreement are not exclusive of any other rights to which a person may be entitled by law, agreement, vote of members or disinterested
directors or otherwise.
In addition, we have entered into indemnification
agreements with each of our executive officers and directors, pursuant to which we have agreed to indemnify them to the fullest extent
permitted by law. Under the indemnification agreements, we have agreed to advance all expenses incurred by or on behalf of the independent
directors in connection with any proceeding within thirty (30) days after the receipt by us of a statement requesting such advance, whether
prior to or after final disposition of such proceeding.
We also have insurance on behalf of our directors
and executive officers and certain other persons insuring them against any liability asserted against them in their respective capacities
or arising out of such status.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been
informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore
unenforceable.

Item 17. Undertakings
(a) The undersigned registrant
hereby undertakes:
(1) to file, during any period
in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) to include any prospectus
required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus
any facts or events arising after the effective date of 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, or the Commission, pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 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) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs
is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, 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 part of the registration statement.
(2) that, for the purpose
of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) to remove from registration
by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) that, for the purpose
of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
(i) 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 the undersigned registrant;
(iii) the portion of any
other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities
provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) any other communication
that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(6) that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.
(7) to file an application
for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in
accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.
(b) 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 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 certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form
S-3 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the
City of New York, State of New York, on April 28, 2023.
