Pre-Funded
Warrants to Purchase shares of Common Stock
We
are offering shares of our Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common
Stock”), pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement and accompanying Prospectus and, in lieu of Common Stock to investors that
so choose, pre-funded warrants to purchase up to shares of our Common Stock in
this offering. The purchase price of each pre-funded warrant will equal the price per share at which shares of our Common Stock are being
sold to the public in this offering, minus $0.0001, which will be the exercise price of each pre-funded warrant. Each pre-funded warrant
will be exercisable for one share of Common Stock. The pre-funded warrants do not expire, and each pre-funded warrant will be exercisable
at any time after the date of issuance. This Prospectus Supplement also relates to the offering of the shares of our Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of such pre-funded warrants.
Our
Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “GAME.” On July 3, 2025,
the last reported sale price of our Common Stock on NASDAQ was $0.89.
We
are an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”)
and a “smaller reporting company” as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act, and as such, we have elected to comply
with certain reduced public company reporting requirements. See “Summary- Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
and a Smaller Reporting Company.”
As
of July 3, 2025, the aggregate market value of our outstanding Common Stock held by non-affiliates (“Public Float”)
was approximately $27.8 million based on 39,123,968 shares of outstanding Common Stock as of July 3, 2025, of which 9,904,523 shares
were held by our affiliates, and a price of $0.95 per share on June 9, 2025, which was the highest closing sale price of our Common Stock
on NASDAQ during the preceding sixty day period. We have not offered any securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3
during the prior 12 calendar month period that ends on and includes the date of this Prospectus Supplement. Pursuant to General Instruction
I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will we sell securities registered on the registration statement of which this Prospectus Supplement is
a part in a public primary offering with a value exceeding more than one-third of our public float in any 12-month period so long as
our Public Float remains below $75.0 million.
Investing
in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” section beginning on page S-9 of this
prospectus supplement and any other risk factors contained in any applicable prospectus supplement and in the documents incorporated
by reference herein and therein.
NEITHER
THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE “SEC”) NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR REGULATOR HAS APPROVED
OR DISAPPROVED THESE SECURITIES, NOR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THE PROSPECTUS OR THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION
TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.

ABOUT
THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
This
document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”), which describes
the specific terms of the securities being offered and also adds to and updates information contained in the accompanying prospectus
and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein. The second part, the prospectus (the “Prospectus”),
gives more general information, some of which may not apply to the securities being offered under this Prospectus Supplement. This Prospectus
Supplement is deemed to be incorporated by reference into the accompanying prospectus solely for the purposes of the Offering constituted
by this Prospectus Supplement.
You
should rely only on the information contained in or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus
and on the other information included in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-285543), as amended, initially
filed with the SEC on March 4, 2025 and declared effective on June 4, 2025 (the “Registration Statement”), of which
this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus form a part. If the description of the Common Stock or any other information
varies between this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus (including the documents incorporated by reference herein and
therein), you should rely on the information in this Prospectus Supplement. We have not, and the underwriters have not, authorized anyone
to provide you with different or additional information. If anyone provides you with different or additional information, you should
not rely on it. The Company and the underwriters are not making an offer to sell or seeking an offer to buy the securities in any jurisdiction
where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should not assume that the information contained in this Prospectus Supplement, the accompanying
Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front
of this Prospectus Supplement, the accompanying Prospectus or the respective dates of the documents incorporated by reference herein
and therein, as applicable, regardless of the time of delivery of this Prospectus Supplement or of any sale of the securities pursuant
hereto. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. Information contained
on the Company’s website should not be deemed to be a part of this Prospectus Supplement, the accompanying Prospectus or incorporated
by reference herein or therein and should not be relied upon by a prospective investor for the purpose of determining whether to invest
in the securities.
Market
data and certain industry forecasts used in the Prospectus and this Prospectus Supplement and the documents incorporated by reference
in the Prospectus and this Prospectus Supplement were obtained from market research, publicly available information and industry publications.
We believe that these sources are generally reliable, but the accuracy and completeness of this information is not guaranteed. We have
not independently verified such information, nor have we ascertained the validity or accuracy of the underlying economic assumptions
relied upon therein, and we do not make any representation as to the accuracy of such information.
This
Prospectus Supplement shall not be used by anyone for any purpose other than in connection with the Offering.
Unless
we have indicated otherwise, or the context otherwise requires, references in this Prospectus Supplement or the accompanying Prospectus
to “GameSquare”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our”
refer to GameSquare Holdings, Inc.
FORWARD-LOOKING
INFORMATION
This
Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference, contain “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to future events
or the Company’s future performance. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, may be forward-looking information.
Forward-looking information generally can be identified by the use of words such as “seek”, “anticipate”, “plan”,
“continue”, “estimate”, “expect”, “may”, “will”, “project”, “predict”,
“propose”, “potential”, “targeting”, “intend”, “could”, “might”,
“should”, “believe” and similar expressions. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking information.
In
particular, this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus contain or incorporate by reference forward-looking information,
including, without limitation, with respect to the following matters or the Company’s expectations relating to such matters: expectations
regarding existing products and plans to develop, implement or adopt new technology or products; the expectation of obtaining new customers
for the Company’s products and services, as well as expectations regarding expansion and acceptance of the Company’s brand
and products to new markets; estimates and projections regarding the industry in which the Company operates and adoption of technologies,
including expectations regarding the growth and impact of esports; and those discussed under in this Prospectus Supplement, in the accompanying
Prospectus and in certain documents incorporated by reference herein and therein. Management provides forward-looking statements because
it believes they provide useful information to readers when considering their investment objectives and cautions readers that the information
may not be appropriate for other purposes. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this Prospectus Supplement, in
the accompanying Prospectus and in certain documents incorporated by reference herein and therein are qualified by these cautionary statements
and other cautionary statements or factors contained herein, and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments will
be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, us.
The
forward-looking statements discussed under “Risk Factors” in this Prospectus Supplement, in the accompanying Prospectus
and in certain documents incorporated by reference herein and therein are based on numerous assumptions regarding our present and future
business strategies and the environment in which we will operate in the future, including assumptions regarding business and operating
strategies, and our ability to operate on a profitable basis.
In
addition to the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in this Prospectus Supplement, in the accompanying Prospectus
and in certain documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, other factors not currently viewed as material could cause actual
results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Although we have attempted to identify important
risks and factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements,
there may be other factors and risks that cause actions, events or results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. Accordingly,
readers should not place any undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
These
forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Prospectus Supplement and neither we nor the underwriters assume any obligation
to update or revise any forward-looking statement even if new information becomes available as a result of future events or for any other
reason, unless required by applicable securities laws and regulations.
Forward-looking
information does not take into account the effect of transactions or other items announced or occurring after the statements are made.
Forward-looking information is based upon a number of expectations and assumptions and is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties,
many of which are beyond the Company’s control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those that are disclosed
in or implied by such forward-looking information. With respect to forward-looking information listed above and incorporated by reference
herein, the Company has made assumptions regarding, among other things:

related to data security and privacy, including the risk of cyber-attacks or other security incidents; |
|
|
● |
risks
resulting from our global operations; |
|
|
● |
our
ability to maintain the listing of our Common Stock on NASDAQ; |
|
|
● |
our
securities’ potential liquidity and trading, including that the price of our securities may be volatile; |
|
|
● |
future
issuances, sales or resales of our securities; |
|
|
● |
the
grant and future exercise of registration rights; |
|
|
● |
our
ability to secure future financing, if needed, and our ability to repay any future indebtedness when due; |

Although
the Company believes that the assumptions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking information are reasonable, GameSquare can
give no assurance that these assumptions and expectations will prove to be correct, and since forward-looking information inherently
involves risks and uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on such information.
The
Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking information as a result of the risk
factors contained in and incorporated by reference in this Prospectus Supplement, including but not limited to, the factors referred
to under the heading “Risk Factors” in this Prospectus Supplement. Such risks include, but are not limited to the following:
liquidity concerns and future financings; execution of business plan; the management of growth; reduced cash reserves from future operating
losses; failure to compete successfully in various markets; the development of high-quality products; rapid technological changes; proprietary
protection and intellectual property disputes; transmission of user data; data collection risk; mobile gaming and the free-to-play business
model; the condition of the global economy; risks inherent in foreign/international operations; and changing governmental regulations.
Consequently, actual results and events may vary significantly from those included in, contemplated or implied by such statements.
Readers
are cautioned that the foregoing lists of factors are not exhaustive. The forward-looking information contained in or incorporated by
reference in this Prospectus Supplement is expressly qualified by these cautionary statements. All forward-looking information in this
Prospectus Supplement speaks as of the date of this Prospectus Supplement. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or
revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
All forward-looking information contained in this Prospectus Supplement, and the accompanying Prospectus, including the documents incorporated
by reference herein and therein are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Additional information about
these assumptions and risks and uncertainties is contained in the Company’s filings with securities regulators, including the Company’s
most recent annual information form and most recent management’s discussion and analysis for our most recently completed financial
year and, if applicable, interim financial period, which are available on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

Termination
of At-The-Market Sales Agreement
On
July 7, 2025, we terminated the prospectus supplement related to the At-The-Market Sales Agreement, dated June 27, 2025 with ThinkEquity

RISK
FACTORS
Investing
in our securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk due to the nature of our business and the present stage of our development.
Before deciding to invest in our securities, you should carefully consider all of the information contained in, and incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated by reference in, this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus. An investment in the Common Stock or
pre-funded warrants is subject to certain risks, including risks related to the business of the Company and risks related to the Company’s
securities described in this Prospectus Supplement, the accompanying Prospectus, and the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
by reference in the prospectus and herein by reference. SEE THE RISK FACTORS BELOW AND THE “RISK FACTORS” SECTION OF THE
ACCOMPANYING PROSPECTUS AND THE DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED OR DEEMED TO BE INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE HEREIN AND THEREIN. Each of the
risks described in these sections and in the documents incorporated by reference herein could materially and adversely affect our business,
financial condition, results of operations and prospects, could cause them to differ materially from the estimates described in forward-looking
statements relating to the Company, or its business, properties or financial performance, and could result in an entire loss of your
investment. These risks are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to us or that we currently deem
immaterial may also impair our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
These
risk factors, together with all other information included or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus Supplement and accompanying
Prospectus, including, without limitation, information contained in the section “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”
as well as the risk factors in the accompanying Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference, should be carefully reviewed
and considered by investors. Some of the factors described herein and the accompanying prospectus, in the documents incorporated or deemed
incorporated by reference herein and therein are interrelated and, consequently, investors should treat such risk factors as a whole.
If
any of the adverse effects set out in the risk factors described herein and the accompanying prospectus, or in another document incorporated
or deemed incorporated by reference herein or therein occur, it could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition
and results of operations of the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties of which the Company currently is unaware of or that are
unknown or that it currently deems to be immaterial could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition
and results of operations. The Company cannot provide assurance that it will successfully address any or all of these risks. There is
no assurance that any risk management steps taken will avoid future loss due to the occurrence of the adverse effects set out in the
risk factors herein and the accompanying prospectus, or in the other documents incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference herein
or therein or other unforeseen risks.
We
have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and might not apply the proceeds in ways that enhance our operating
results or increase the value of your investment.
The
Company currently intends to allocate the net proceeds received from the offering as described under “Use of Proceeds”;
however, the Company will have discretion in the actual application of such net proceeds, and may elect to allocate net proceeds differently
from that described under “Use of Proceeds” if determined by the Board to be in the Company’s best interests
to do so. Shareholders may not agree with the manner in which the Board and management choose to allocate and spend the net proceeds.
The failure by the Company to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects.
Loss
of Entire Investment
An
investment in our Common Stock is speculative and may result in the loss of an investor’s entire investment. Only potential investors
who are experienced in high-risk investments and who can afford to lose their entire investment should consider an investment in the
Company.
Investors
participating in this offering may incur immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of their shares.
Since
the offering price for our shares of Common Stock in this offering is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share
of Common Stock outstanding prior to this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value
of the shares of Common Stock you purchase in this offering. After giving effect to the sale of
shares of our Common Stock in this offering at the public offering price of $ per
share and based on our net tangible book value (deficit) as of March 31, 2025 of $ per
share, if you purchase shares of Common Stock in this offering you will suffer substantial and immediate dilution of $
per share in the net tangible book value of the Common Stock. If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares
of Common Stock, you will experience additional dilution. See the section entitled “Dilution” below for a more detailed discussion
of the dilution you will incur if you purchase shares in this offering.
Dilution
from Further Financings
The
Company may need to raise additional financing in the future, including through the issuance of additional equity securities or convertible
debt securities. If the Company raises additional funding by issuing additional equity securities or convertible debt securities, such
financings may substantially dilute the interests of shareholders of the Company and reduce the value of their investment and the value
of the Company’s securities.
There
is no public market for the pre-funded warrants being offered in this offering.
There
is no public trading market for the pre-funded warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In
addition, we do not intend to apply to list the pre-funded warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system,
including the Nasdaq Capital Market. Without an active market, the liquidity of the pre-funded warrants will be limited.
We
will not receive any meaningful amount of additional funds upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants.
Each
pre-funded warrant may be exercised by way of a cashless exercise, meaning that the holder may not pay a cash purchase price upon exercise,
but instead would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of our Common Stock determined according to the formula set forth
in the pre-funded warrant. Accordingly, we may not receive any additional funds upon the exercise of the pre-funded warrants. Furthermore,
if exercised by means of cash payment of the exercise price, we will not receive any meaningful additional funds upon the exercise of
the pre-funded warrants.
Significant
holders or beneficial holders of our Common Stock may not be permitted to exercise pre-funded warrants that they hold.
A
holder of a pre-funded warrant will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any pre-funded warrant which, upon giving effect to such
exercise, would cause (i) the aggregate number of shares of our Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder (together with its affiliates)
to exceed 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, up to 19.99%) of the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding immediately
after giving effect to the exercise, or (ii) the combined voting power of our securities beneficially owned by the holder (together with
its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, up to 19.99%) of the combined voting power of all of our securities
then outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms
of the pre-funded warrants. As a result, you may not be able to exercise your pre-funded warrants for shares of our Common Stock at a
time when it would be financially beneficial for you to do so. In such circumstance you could seek to sell your pre-funded warrants to
realize value, but you may be unable to do so in the absence of an established trading market for the pre-funded warrants.
Future
sales or issuances of our Common Stock in the public markets, or the perception of such sales, could depress the trading price of our
Common Stock.
The
sale of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock or other equity-related securities in the public markets, or the perception
that such sales could occur, could depress the market price of our Common Stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale
of additional equity securities. We may sell large quantities of our Common Stock at any time pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement
and/or in one or more separate offerings. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of Common Stock or other equity-related securities
would have on the market price of our Common Stock.
Operational,
Market and Legal Risks.
The
Company is exposed to a variety of operational, market and legal risks in connection with the operation of its business that could have
a material adverse effect on the Company and its business, including but not limited to the risks that: the Company will not be successful
in creating products and services that appeal to customers, that the Company will not be successful in acquiring or retaining talent,
or operating profitably; that Company will not be successful in adapting to changes in market forces, including competition, consumer
attitudes, business methods and financing trends; and that the Company could be materially affected by changes in the legal and regulatory
landscape in which it operates or by adverse outcomes in pending or future litigation, including the legal matters disclosed in the litigation
section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2025
on sec.gov/edgar.
We
have never paid dividends on our capital stock and we do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.
We
have not paid dividends on any of our classes of capital stock to date and we currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any,
to fund the development and growth of our business. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our Common Stock will be your sole
source of gain for the foreseeable future.
We may use the net proceeds from this offering
to purchase cryptocurrencies, the price of which has been, and will likely continue to be, highly volatile.
We may use the net proceeds from this offering
to purchase cryptocurrencies such as ethereum. Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile and do not pay interest or other returns, and,
as a result, our ability to generate a return on any investments into cryptocurrencies from the net proceeds from this offering will
depend on whether there is appreciation in the value of the cryptocurrencies we purchase, if any, following our purchases thereof with
the net proceeds from this offering. Future fluctuations in cryptocurrency trading prices may result in our converting cryptocurrencies
purchased with the net proceeds from this offering, if any, into cash with a value substantially below the net proceeds from this offering.
Ethereum and other digital assets are novel
assets, and are subject to significant legal, commercial, regulatory and technical uncertainty.
Ethereum and other digital
assets are relatively novel and are subject to significant uncertainty, which could adversely impact their price. The application of
state and federal securities laws and other laws and regulations to digital assets is unclear in certain respects, and it is possible
that regulators in the United States or foreign countries may interpret or apply existing laws and regulations in a manner that adversely
affects the price of ethereum.
The U.S. federal government,
states, regulatory agencies, and foreign countries may also enact new laws and regulations, or pursue regulatory, legislative, enforcement
or judicial actions, that could materially impact the price of ethereum or the ability of individuals or institutions such as us to own
or transfer ethereum. For example, the U.S. executive branch, SEC, the European Union’s Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation, among
others have been active in recent years, and in the U.K., the Financial Services and Markets Act 2023, or FSMA 2023 became law. It is
not possible to predict whether, or when, any of these developments will lead to Congress granting additional authorities to the SEC,
Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), or other regulators, or whether, or when, any other federal, state or foreign
legislative bodies will take any similar actions. It is also not possible to predict the nature of any such additional authorities, how
additional legislation or regulatory oversight might impact the ability of digital asset markets to function or the willingness of financial
and other institutions to continue to provide services to the digital assets industry, nor how any new regulations or changes to existing
regulations might impact the value of digital assets generally and ethereum specifically. The consequences of increased regulation of
digital assets and digital asset activities could adversely affect the market price of ethereum and in turn adversely affect the market
price of our common stock.
Moreover, the risks of engaging
in a ethereum treasury strategy are relatively novel and have created, and could continue to create, complications due to the lack of
experience that third parties have with companies engaging in such a strategy, such as increased costs of director and officer liability
insurance or the potential inability to obtain such coverage on acceptable terms in the future.
The growth of the digital
assets industry in general, and the use and acceptance of ethereum in particular, may also impact the price of ethereum and is subject
to a high degree of uncertainty. The pace of worldwide growth in the adoption and use of ethereum may depend, for instance, on public
familiarity with digital assets, ease of buying, accessing or gaining exposure to ethereum, institutional demand for ethereum as an investment
asset, the participation of traditional financial institutions in the digital assets industry, consumer demand for ethereum as a means
of payment, and the availability and popularity of alternatives to ethereum. Even if growth in ethereum adoption occurs in the near or
medium-term, there is no assurance that ethereum usage will continue to grow over the long-term.
Because ethereum has no physical
existence beyond the record of transactions on the ethereum blockchain, a variety of technical factors related to the ethereum blockchain
could also impact the price of ethereum. For example, malicious attacks by miners, inadequate mining fees to incentivize validating of
ethereum transactions, hard “forks” of the ethereum blockchain into multiple blockchains, and advances in digital computing,
algebraic geometry, and quantum computing could undercut the integrity of the ethereum blockchain and negatively affect the price of
ethereum. The liquidity of ethereum may also be reduced and damage to the public perception of ethereum may occur, if financial institutions
were to deny or limit banking services to businesses that hold ethereum, provide ethereum-related services or accept ethereum as payment,
which could also decrease the price of ethereum. Similarly, the open-source nature of the ethereum blockchain means the contributors
and developers of the ethereum blockchain are generally not directly compensated for their contributions in maintaining and developing
the blockchain, and any failure to properly monitor and upgrade the ethereum blockchain could adversely affect the ethereum blockchain
and negatively affect the price of ethereum.
The liquidity of ethereum
may also be impacted to the extent that changes in applicable laws and regulatory requirements negatively impact the ability of exchanges
and trading venues to provide services for ethereum and other digital assets.
We
face risks relating to the custody of our ethereum, including the loss or destruction of private keys required to access our ethereum
and cyberattacks or other data loss relating to our ethereum
We
will hold our ethereum with regulated custodians that have duties to safeguard our private keys. Our custodial services contracts will
not restrict our ability to reallocate our ethereum among our custodians, and our ethereum holdings may be concentrated with a single
custodian from time to time, including immediately after this offering. In light of the significant amount of ethereum we hold, we continually
evaluate the need to engage additional custodians. Additional custodians could achieve a greater degree of diversification in the custody
of our ethereum as the extent of potential risk of loss is dependent, in part, on the degree of diversification. If there is a decrease
in the availability of digital asset custodians that we believe can safely custody our ethereum, for example, custodians discontinue
or limit their services in the United States, we may need to enter into agreements that are less favorable than our currently anticipated
agreements or take other measures to custody our ethereum, and our ability to seek a greater degree of diversification in the use of
custodial services would be materially adversely affected. In addition, holding our ethereum with regulated custodians could affect the
availability of receiving digital assets that may result from “forks” of the ethereum blockchain if our custodians are unable
to support or otherwise provide us with such digital assets, thereby reducing the amount of digital assets we may hold as a result. While
our custodians will carry insurance policies to cover losses for commercial crimes and cyber and tech errors or omissions, the policy
limits vary per provider and would be shared among all of their customers, and subject to various limitations and exclusions (such as
if a loss arises due to our failure to protect our login credentials and devices). The insurance that covers losses of our ethereum holdings
may cover only a small fraction of the value of the entirety of our ethereum holdings, and there can be no guarantee that such insurance
will be maintained as part of the custodial services we will have or that such coverage will cover losses with respect to our ethereum.
Moreover, our use of custodians exposes us to the risk that the ethereum our custodians hold on our behalf could be subject to insolvency
proceedings and we could be treated as a general unsecured creditor of the custodian, inhibiting our ability to exercise ownership rights
with respect to such ethereum. Any loss associated with such insolvency proceedings is unlikely to be covered by any insurance coverage
we maintain related to our ethereum.
Ethereum
is controllable only by the possessor of both the unique public key and private key(s) relating to the local or online digital wallet
in which the ethereum is held. While the ethereum blockchain ledger requires a public key relating to a digital wallet to be published
when used in a transaction, private keys must be safeguarded and kept private in order to prevent a third party from accessing the ethereum
held in such wallet. To the extent the private key(s) for a digital wallet are lost, destroyed, or otherwise compromised and no backup
of the private key(s) is accessible, neither we nor our custodians will be able to access the ethereum held in the related digital wallet.
Furthermore, we cannot provide assurance that our digital wallets, nor the digital wallets of our custodians held on our behalf, will
not be compromised as a result of a cyberattack. The ethereum and blockchain ledger, as well as other digital assets and blockchain technologies,
have been, and may in the future be, subject to security breaches, cyberattacks, or other malicious activities.
Regulatory
change reclassifying ethereum as a security could lead to our classification as an “investment company” under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act, and could adversely affect the market price of ethereum and the market price of our
common stock.
Under
Sections 3(a)(1)(A) and (C) of the 1940 Act, a company generally will be deemed to be an “investment company” for purposes
of the 1940 Act if (1) it is, or holds itself out as being, engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing,
reinvesting or trading in securities or (2) it engages, or proposes to engage, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding
or trading in securities and it owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total
assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. We do not believe that we are an “investment
company,” as such term is defined in the 1940 Act, and are not registered as an “investment company” under the 1940
Act as of the date of this prospectus.
While
senior SEC officials have stated their view that ethereum is not a “security” for purposes of the federal securities laws,
a contrary determination by the SEC could lead to our classification as an “investment company” under the 1940 Act, if the
portion of our assets consists of investments in ethereum exceeds 40% safe harbor limits prescribed in the 1940 Act, which would subject
us to significant additional regulatory controls that could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations and may also
require us to change the manner in which we conduct our business.
We
monitor our assets and income for compliance under the 1940 Act and seek to conduct our business activities in a manner such that we
do not fall within its definitions of “investment company” or that we qualify under one of the exemptions or exclusions provided
by the 1940 Act and corresponding SEC regulations. If ethereum is determined to constitute a security for purposes of the federal securities
laws, we would take steps to reduce the percentage of ethereum that constitute investment assets under the 1940 Act. These steps may
include, among others, selling ethereum that we might otherwise hold for the long term and deploying our cash in non-investment assets,
and we may be forced to sell our ethereum at unattractive prices. We may also seek to acquire additional non-investment assets to maintain
compliance with the 1940 Act, and we may need to incur debt, issue additional equity or enter into other financing arrangements that
are not otherwise attractive to our business. Any of these actions could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations
and financial condition. Moreover, we can make no assurance that we would successfully be able to take the necessary steps to avoid being
deemed to be an investment company in accordance with the safe harbor. If we were unsuccessful, and if ethereum is determined to constitute
a security for purposes of the federal securities laws, then we would have to register as an investment company, and the additional regulatory
restrictions imposed by 1940 Act could adversely affect the market price of ethereum and in turn adversely affect the market price of
our common stock.
We
may be subject to regulatory developments related to crypto assets and crypto asset markets, which could adversely affect our business,
financial condition, and results of operations.
As
ethereum and other digital assets are relatively novel and the application of state and federal securities laws and other laws and regulations
to digital assets is unclear in certain respects, it is possible that regulators in the United States or foreign countries may interpret
or apply existing laws and regulations in a manner that adversely affects the price of ethereum. The U.S. federal government, states,
regulatory agencies, and foreign countries may also enact new laws and regulations, or pursue regulatory, legislative, enforcement or
judicial actions, that could materially impact the price of ethereum or the ability of individuals or institutions such as us to own
or transfer ethereum.
Our
cryptocurrency treasury strategy exposes us to risk of non-performance by counterparties
Our
ethereum treasury strategy exposes us to the risk of non-performance by counterparties, whether contractual or otherwise. Risk of non-performance
includes inability or refusal of a counterparty to perform because of a deterioration in the counterparty’s financial condition
and liquidity or for any other reason. For example, our execution partners, custodians, or other counterparties might fail to perform
in accordance with the terms of our agreements with them, which could result in a loss of ethereum, a loss of the opportunity to generate
funds, or other losses.
We
expect our primary counterparty risk with respect to our ethereum will be custodian performance obligations under the various custody
arrangements we enter into. A series of recent high-profile bankruptcies, closures, liquidations, regulatory enforcement actions and
other events relating to companies operating in the digital asset industry, the closure or liquidation of certain financial institutions
that provided lending and other services to the digital assets industry, SEC enforcement actions against other providers, or placement
into receivership or civil fraud lawsuit against digital asset industry participants have highlighted the perceived and actual counterparty
risk applicable to digital asset ownership and trading. Legal precedent created in these bankruptcy and other proceedings may increase
the risk of future rulings adverse to our interests in the event one or more of our custodians becomes a debtor in a bankruptcy case
or is the subject of other liquidation, insolvency or similar proceedings.
While
our custodians will be subject to regulatory regimes intended to protect customers in the event of a custodial bankruptcy, receivership
or similar insolvency proceeding, no assurance can be provided that our custodially-held ethereum will not become part of the custodian’s
insolvency estate if one or more of our custodians enters bankruptcy, receivership or similar insolvency proceedings. Additionally, if
we pursue any strategies to create income streams or otherwise generate funds using our ethereum holdings, we would become subject to
additional counterparty risks. We will need to carefully evaluate market conditions, including price volatility as well as service provider
terms and market reputations and performance, among others, prior to implementing any such strategy, all of which could effect our ability
to successfully implement and execute on any such future strategy. These risks, along with any significant non-performance by counterparties,
including in particular the custodian or custodians with which we will custody substantially all of our ethereum, could have a material
adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results.
If
ethereum is determined to constitute a security for purposes of the federal securities laws, the additional regulatory restrictions imposed
by such a determination could adversely affect the market price of ethereum and in turn adversely affect the market price of our common
stock. See “Risk Factors—Regulatory change reclassifying ethereum as a security could lead to our classification as an
“investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act, and could adversely affect the
market price of ethereum and the market price of our common stock” above. Moreover, the risks of us engaging in a ethereum
treasury strategy could create complications due to the lack of experience that third parties have with companies engaging in such a
strategy, such as increased costs of director and officer liability insurance or the potential inability to obtain such coverage on acceptable
terms in the future.
The
due diligence procedures conducted by us and our liquidity providers to mitigate transaction risk may fail to prevent transactions with
a sanctioned entity.
We
will execute trades through U.S.-based liquidity providers, and rely on these third parties to implement controls and procedures to mitigate
the risk of transacting with sanctioned entities. While we expect our third party service providers to conduct their business in compliance
with applicable laws and regulations and in accordance with our contractual arrangements, there is no guarantee that they will do so.
Accordingly, we are exposed to risk that our due diligence procedures may fail. If we are found to have transacted in ethereum with bad
actors that have used ethereum to launder money or with persons subject to sanctions, we may be subject to regulatory proceedings and
any further transactions or dealings in ethereum by us may be restricted or prohibited.
CONSOLIDATED
CAPITALIZATION
The
following describes the changes in the consolidated capitalization of the Company since March 31, 2025, the date of the Company’s
most recent financial statements. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in the share and loan capital of the
Company, on a consolidated basis, since March 31, 2025.
| ● | 87,946
shares of Common Stock issued on April 1, 2025; and |
| ● | 210,403
shares of Common Stock issued on June 6, 2025. |
As
a result of the offering, the shareholder’s equity of the Company will increase by the amount of the net proceeds of the offering
and the number of issued and outstanding Common Stock will increase by the number of Common Stock actually distributed under the offering.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We
estimate the net proceeds to us from this offering will be approximately $ million
(or approximately $ million if the Underwriter’s option to purchase
additional shares is exercised in full) after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable
by us. We will receive nominal proceeds, if any, from any exercise of pre-funded warrants.
The
net proceeds from this offering are expected to be used by the Company for general corporate purposes, which may include, without limitation,
strategic investments, mergers and acquisitions of companies, businesses, or assets; acquisitions of cryptocurrencies; the development
and implementation of a cryptocurrency treasury strategy; and general working capital and operational expenditures. The timing and amount
of the actual expenditures will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions and the availability of investment opportunities.
The Company may, from time to time, issue securities (including equity and debt securities) other than pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement.
Although
the Company intends to expend the net proceeds from the Offering as set forth above, there may be circumstances where, for sound business
reasons, a reallocation of funds may be prudent or necessary, and may vary materially from that set forth above. In addition, management
of the Company will have broad discretion with respect to the actual use of the net proceeds from the offering. See “Risk Factors.”
DILUTION
If
you invest in our Common Stock or pre-funded warrants in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the
difference between the public offering price per share of our Common Stock or pre-funded warrant in this offering and the as adjusted
net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock immediately after this offering. Our net tangible book value as of March 31, 2025
was $(17.29) million, or $(0.45) per share of Common Stock. Net tangible book value per share represents the amount of total tangible
assets (total assets less intangible assets) less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding
as of March 31, 2025.
After
giving effect to the sale by us of shares of our Common Stock in this offering
at the public offering price of $ per share, and pre-funded warrants to purchase
shares of Common Stock at the public offering price of $
per pre-funded warrant (which equals the public offering price of the Common Stock at which shares of our Common Stock are being sold
to the public in this offering less the $0.0001 per share exercise price of each such pre-funded warrant) (excluding shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants, any proceeds which may be received upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants
or any resulting accounting associated with the exercise of the pre-funded warrants), and after deducting underwriting discounts and
commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2025 would have been
$ million, or $ per
share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $ per
share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $ per share to new
investors purchasing shares of Common Stock in this offering. Dilution per share to investors purchasing shares of our Common Stock or
pre-funded warrants in this offering is determined by subtracting as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering from
the public offering price per share paid by investors purchasing shares of our Common Stock or pre-funded warrants in this offering.
Dilution
per share to new investors is determined by subtracting as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering from the assumed
public offering price per share paid by new investors. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

The
information above and in the foregoing table is based upon 38,825,619 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2025. The
information above and in the foregoing table excludes:

DESCRIPTION
OF CAPITAL STOCK
Common
Stock
The
following description of our Common Stock is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our restated certificate of incorporation,
as amended (“Certificate of Incorporation”) and amended and restated bylaws (“Bylaws”), copies of which have
been filed with the SEC and are incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a
part, and by applicable law.
General
As
of the date of this Prospectus Supplement, our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001
per share and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of July 3, 2025, we had 39,123,968 shares of our
Common Stock issued and outstanding.
Common
Stock
Voting
Rights. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted upon by stockholders.
The Common Stock does not have cumulative voting rights.
Dividends.
Subject to the preferences that may be applicable to any preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of outstanding shares of
our Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of funds legally
available therefor.
Liquidation,
Dissolution and Winding Up. Subject to the rights, powers and preferences of any outstanding preferred stock, in the event of liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the company to holders of outstanding shares of our Common Stock entitled to share equally, share for share,
in the assets available for distribution, subject to any liquidation preference on any outstanding shares of our preferred stock.
Other
Rights. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive or conversion rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable
to the Common Stock.
Preferred
Stock
Our
board of directors is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock
in one or more series without stockholder approval. Our board of directors may designate the powers, designations, preferences, and relative
participation, optional or other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of each series of
preferred stock, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights, liquidation preference, sinking fund
terms and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation or any series. The rights, preferences, rights and restrictions
of the preferred stock of each series will be fixed by the certificate of designation relating to that series. There are no restrictions
presently on the repurchase or redemption of any shares of our preferred stock.
A
series of our preferred stock could, depending on the terms of such series, impede the completion of a merger, tender offer or other
takeover attempt. Our board of directors will make any determination to issue preferred shares based upon its judgment as to the best
interests of our stockholders. Our directors, in so acting, could issue preferred stock having terms that could discourage an acquisition
attempt through which an acquirer may be able to change the composition of our board of directors, including a tender offer or other
transaction that some, or a majority, of our stockholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which stockholders might
receive a premium for their stock over the then-current market price of the stock.
The
issuance of shares of preferred stock will affect, and may adversely affect, the rights of holders of Common Stock. It is not possible
to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock on the rights of holders of Common Stock until our board
of directors determines the specific rights attached to that preferred stock. The effects of issuing additional preferred stock could
include one or more of the following:
|
● |
restricting
dividends on the Common Stock; |
|
|
|
|
● |
diluting
the voting power of the Common Stock; |
|
|
|
|
● |
impairing
the liquidation rights of the Common Stock; |
|
|
|
|
● |
delaying
or preventing changes in control or management of our company. |
Certain
Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and Delaware Law
Some
provisions of Delaware law and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could make the following transactions
more difficult:
|
● |
acquisition
of us by means of a tender offer; |
|
|
|
|
● |
acquisition
of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or |
|
|
|
|
● |
removal
of our incumbent officers and directors. |
Those
provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to promote stability
in our management. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our
board of directors.
Certificate
of Incorporation and Bylaws
Our
certificate of incorporation and our bylaws provide for the following:
Stockholder
Meetings. Our bylaws provide that in general a special meeting of stockholders may be called at any time by the Board, Chairperson,
Chief Executive Officer or President (in the absence of a Chief Executive Officer) or by one or more stockholders holding shares in the
aggregate entitled to cast not less than 10% of the votes at that meeting.
Requirements
for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals. Our bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to
stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction
of our board of directors or a committee of the board of directors.
Stockholders
Ability to Act by Written Consent. We have provided in our bylaws that any action required by the DGCL to be taken at any annual
or special meeting of stockholders of a corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders,
may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action
so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary
to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.
Amendment
of Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. The amendment of the above provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws
requires approval by holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.
Delaware
Anti-Takeover Statute
We
are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law regulating corporate takeovers. In general, Section
203 prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging, under certain circumstances, in a business combination with an interested
stockholder for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder unless:
|
● |
prior
to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction
which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; |
|
|
|
|
● |
upon
completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned
at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of
determining the voting stock outstanding, but not for determining the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder,
(i) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and (ii) shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee
participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender
or exchange offer; or |
|
|
|
|
● |
at
or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and
authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3%
of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
Generally,
a business combination includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested
stockholder. An interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns 15% or more of a corporation’s
outstanding voting stock or is an affiliate or associate of a corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the corporation’s
outstanding voting stock within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status.
Choice
of Forum
Our
bylaws provide that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware
shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on
our behalf, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any our directors, officers or other employees to us
or our stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our
certificate of incorporation or our bylaws, or (d) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in each case
subject to the Court of Chancery having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein; provided that,
if and only if the Court of Chancery dismisses any such action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, such action may be brought in
another state or federal court sitting in Delaware. Our bylaws further provide that the federal district courts of the United States
of America will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act.
Listing
Our
Common Stock is listed on NASDAQ under the symbol “GAME.”
DESCRIPTION
OF PRE-FUNDED WARRANTS
The
following is a brief summary of certain terms and conditions of the pre-funded warrants being offered in this offering. The following
description is subject in all respects to the provisions contained in the pre-funded warrant.
Form
The
pre-funded warrants will be issued in certificate form as individual warrant agreements to investors. The form of pre-funded warrant
will be filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K that we expect to file with the SEC in connection with this offering.
Term
The
pre-funded warrants do not expire.
Exercisability
The
pre-funded warrants are exercisable at any time on or after their original issuance. The pre-funded warrants are exercisable, at the
option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to us a duly signed exercise notice and by payment in full in immediately available
funds for the number of shares of Common Stock purchased upon such exercise. As an alternative to payment in immediately available funds,
the holder may, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise the pre-funded warrant through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder
would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to the formula set forth in the pre-funded
warrant. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a pre-funded warrant. In lieu of fractional
shares, we will, at our election, pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the fair market value
of the Common Stock on the exercise date or round up the fractional share to the next whole share.
Exercise
Limitations
We
may not affect the exercise of any pre-funded warrant, and a holder will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any pre-funded warrant
that, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause the aggregate number of shares of our Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder
(together with its affiliates ) to exceed 4.99% or, at the election of the holder prior to the issuance of such warrant, 9.99% of the
number of shares of our Common Stock that would be issued and outstanding immediately after such exercise. However, any holder of a pre-funded
warrant may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% upon at least 61 days’ prior notice
from the holder to us.
Exercise
Price
The
exercise price per whole share of our Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the pre-funded warrants is $0.0001 per share of Common
Stock. The exercise price of the pre-funded warrants and the number of shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the pre-funded
warrants is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, reverse stock
splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our Common Stock.
Transferability
Subject
to applicable laws, the pre-funded warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent. The ownership
of the pre-funded warrants and any transfers of the pre-funded warrants will be registered in a warrant register maintained by the warrant
agent. We will initially act as warrant agent.
Exchange
Listing
There
is no established trading market for the pre-funded warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. We do not plan on applying to
list the pre-funded warrants on The Nasdaq Capital Market or any other national securities exchange or any nationally recognized trading
system.
Fundamental
Transactions
In
the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the pre-funded warrants and generally including any merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization or reclassification of our Common Stock, the sale, or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties
or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of the voting power of our capital
stock, the holders of the pre-funded warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants the same amount and
kind of securities, cash or property that the holders would have received had they exercised the pre-funded warrants immediately prior
to such fundamental transaction without regard to any limitations on exercise contained in the pre-funded warrants.
Rights
as a Stockholder
Except
by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our Common Stock, the holder of a pre-funded warrant does not have the rights
or privileges of a holder of our Common Stock, including any voting rights or rights to receive dividends, until the holder exercises
the pre-funded warrant.
DIVIDENDS
The
Company has no fixed dividend policy and the Company has not declared any dividends on its Common Stock since its incorporation. The
Company anticipates that all available funds will be used to fund the growth of its business. The payment of dividends in the future
will depend, among other things, upon the Company’s earnings, capital requirements and operating and financial condition. Generally,
dividends can only be paid if a corporation has retained earnings. There can be no assurance that the Company will generate sufficient
earnings to allow it to pay dividends.

legal matters relating to the offering hereby will be passed upon on behalf of the Company by Baker & Hostetler LLP, Los Angeles,
California. Lucid Capital Markets, LLC is being represented in connection with this offering by Ellenoff Grossman and Schole LLP, New
York, New York.

The
Securities That May Be Offered
We
may offer or sell common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, depositary shares, warrants, subscription rights, purchase contracts,
and units in one or more offerings and in any combination. The aggregate offering price of the securities we sell pursuant to this prospectus
will not exceed $100,000,000. Each time securities are offered with this prospectus, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will
describe the specific amounts, prices and terms of the securities being offered and the net proceeds we expect to receive from that sale.
The
securities may be sold from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades, “at
the market” offerings into an existing trading market, subscription rights offering, or a combination of these methods, to or through
underwriters, dealers or agents or directly to purchasers or as otherwise set forth in the section of this prospectus captioned “Underwriting”
or in any applicable prospectus supplement. Each prospectus supplement will set forth the names of any underwriters, dealers, agents
or other entities involved in the sale of securities described in that prospectus supplement and any applicable fee, commission or discount
arrangements with them.
Common
Stock
The
Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock. We may offer shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share,
either alone or underlying other registered securities convertible into our common stock. Each share of common stock is entitled to dividends
if, as and when dividends are declared by the Board and paid. Under Delaware corporate law, we may declare and pay dividends only out
of our surplus, or in case there is no such surplus, out of our net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or
the preceding year. We will pay any dividend so declared and payable in cash, capital stock or other property equally, share for share,
on our common stock. We may not declare dividends, however, if our capital has been diminished by depreciation, losses or otherwise to
an amount less than the aggregate amount of capital represented by any issued and outstanding stock having a preference on distribution.
Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters. The holders of common stock have no preemptive rights.
Preferred
Stock
The
Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The Company’s Board is authorized
to provide for the issuance of shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix for each such series such voting powers, designations,
preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon,
as determined by the Board. Each series of preferred stock offered by us will be more fully described in the particular prospectus supplement
that will accompany this prospectus, including redemption provisions, rights in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding
up, voting rights and rights to convert into common stock.
Debt
Securities
We
may offer one or more series of senior or subordinated debt. The senior debt securities and the subordinated debt securities are together
referred to in this prospectus as the “debt securities.” The debt securities may be issued in one or more series with the
same or various maturities at par, at premium or at a discount. Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement, the debt securities
will be our direct, unsecured obligations. The subordinated debt securities generally will be entitled to payment only after payment
of our senior debt. Senior debt generally includes all debt for money borrowed by us, except debt that is stated in the instrument governing
the terms of that debt not to be senior to, or to have the same rank in right of payment as, or to be expressly junior to, the subordinated
debt securities. We may issue debt securities that are convertible into shares of our common stock.
The
debt securities will be issued under an indenture between us and a trustee to be identified in an accompanying prospectus supplement.
We have summarized the general features of the debt securities to be governed by the form of indenture in this prospectus and the form
of indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We encourage you to read
the indenture.
Depositary
Shares
We
may issue fractional shares of preferred stock that will be represented by depositary shares and depositary receipts. Each series of
depositary shares or depositary receipts offered by us will be more fully described in the particular prospectus supplement that will
accompany this prospectus, including redemption provisions, rights in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voting
rights and rights to convert into common stock.
Warrants
We
may offer warrants for the purchase of common stock, preferred stock or debt securities. We may offer warrants independently or together
with other securities.
Subscription
Rights
We
may offer subscription rights to purchase our common stock, preferred stock, warrants or debt securities, or units consisting of some
or all of these securities. These subscription rights may be offered independently or together with any other security offered hereby
and may or may not be transferable by the stockholder receiving the subscription rights in such offering.
Purchase
Contracts
We
may offer purchase contracts, including contracts obligating holders or us to purchase from the other a specific or variable number of
securities at a future date or dates.
Units
We
may offer units comprised of one or more of the other classes of securities described in this prospectus in any combination. Each unit
will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit.
RISK
FACTORS
Investing
in any of our securities involves significant risks. Before making an investment decision, in addition to the other information contained
in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, you should carefully consider the specific risks set
forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed
with the SEC, as such risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC,
including subsequent Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and the risk factors described under the caption
“Risk Factors” in any applicable prospectus supplement. These risks are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional
risk and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our
business, financial condition and/or operating results.
For
more information about our SEC filings, please see “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation
of Certain Information by Reference.”
USE
OF PROCEEDS
Unless
otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement accompanying this prospectus, the net proceeds from the sale by us of the securities to
which this prospectus relates will be used for any combination of working capital, general corporate purposes, or acquisition financing.
Net proceeds may be temporarily invested prior to use. When we offer and sell the securities to which this prospectus relates, the prospectus
supplement related to such offering will set forth our intended use of the proceeds, if any, received from the sale of such securities.
DESCRIPTION
OF CAPITAL STOCK
The
following description of our common stock is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our restated certificate of incorporation,
as amended (“Certificate of Incorporation”) and amended and restated bylaws (“Bylaws”), copies of which have
been filed with the SEC and are incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a
part, and by applicable law.
General
As
of the date of this prospectus, our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share
and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of May 7, 2025, we had 38,913,565 shares of our common stock
issued and outstanding.
Common
Stock
Voting
Rights. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted upon by stockholders.
The common stock does not have cumulative voting rights.
Dividends.
Subject to the preferences that may be applicable to any preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of outstanding shares of
our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of funds legally
available therefor.
Liquidation,
Dissolution and Winding Up. Subject to the rights, powers and preferences of any outstanding preferred stock, in the event of liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the company to holders of outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to share equally, share for share,
in the assets available for distribution, subject to any liquidation preference on any outstanding shares of our preferred stock.
Other
Rights. Holders of common stock have no preemptive or conversion rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable
to the common stock.
Preferred
Stock
Our
board of directors is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock
in one or more series without stockholder approval. Our board of directors may designate the powers, designations, preferences, and relative
participation, optional or other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of each series of
preferred stock, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights, liquidation preference, sinking fund
terms and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation or any series. The rights, preferences, rights and restrictions
of the preferred stock of each series will be fixed by the certificate of designation relating to that series. There are no restrictions
presently on the repurchase or redemption of any shares of our preferred stock.
A
series of our preferred stock could, depending on the terms of such series, impede the completion of a merger, tender offer or other
takeover attempt. Our board of directors will make any determination to issue preferred shares based upon its judgment as to the best
interests of our stockholders. Our directors, in so acting, could issue preferred stock having terms that could discourage an acquisition
attempt through which an acquirer may be able to change the composition of our board of directors, including a tender offer or other
transaction that some, or a majority, of our stockholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which stockholders might
receive a premium for their stock over the then-current market price of the stock.
The
issuance of shares of preferred stock will affect, and may adversely affect, the rights of holders of common stock. It is not possible
to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock on the rights of holders of common stock until our board
of directors determines the specific rights attached to that preferred stock. The effects of issuing additional preferred stock could
include one or more of the following:
| ● | restricting
dividends on the common stock; |
| ● | diluting
the voting power of the common stock; |
| | |
| ● | impairing
the liquidation rights of the common stock; |
| | |
| ● | delaying
or preventing changes in control or management of our company. |
Certain
Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and Delaware Law
Some
provisions of Delaware law and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could make the following transactions
more difficult:
| ● | acquisition
of us by means of a tender offer; |
| | |
| ● | acquisition
of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or |
| | |
| ● | removal
of our incumbent officers and directors. |
Those
provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to promote stability
in our management. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our
board of directors.
Certificate
of Incorporation and Bylaws
Our
certificate of incorporation and our bylaws provide for the following:
Stockholder
Meetings. Our bylaws provide that in general a special meeting of stockholders may be called at any time by the Board, Chairperson,
Chief Executive Officer or President (in the absence of a Chief Executive Officer) or by one or more stockholders holding shares in the
aggregate entitled to cast not less than 10% of the votes at that meeting.
Requirements
for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals. Our bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to
stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction
of our board of directors or a committee of the board of directors.
Stockholders
Ability to Act by Written Consent. We have provided in our bylaws that any action required by the DGCL to be taken at any annual
or special meeting of stockholders of a corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders,
may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action
so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary
to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.
Amendment
of Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. The amendment of the above provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws
requires approval by holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.
Delaware
Anti-Takeover Statute
We
are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law regulating corporate takeovers. In general, Section
203 prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging, under certain circumstances, in a business combination with an interested
stockholder for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder unless:
| ● | prior
to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either
the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an
interested stockholder; |
| ● | upon
completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder,
the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding
at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock
outstanding, but not for determining the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested
stockholder, (i) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and (ii) shares
owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine
confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange
offer; or |
| | |
| ● | at
or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the
board of directors of the corporation and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders,
and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding
voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
Generally,
a business combination includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested
stockholder. An interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns 15% or more of a corporation’s
outstanding voting stock or is an affiliate or associate of a corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the corporation’s
outstanding voting stock within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status.
Choice
of Forum
Our
bylaws provide that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware
shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on
our behalf, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any our directors, officers or other employees to us
or our stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our
certificate of incorporation or our bylaws, or (d) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in each case
subject to the Court of Chancery having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein; provided that,
if and only if the Court of Chancery dismisses any such action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, such action may be brought in
another state or federal court sitting in Delaware. Our bylaws further provide that the federal district courts of the United States
of America will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act.
Transfer
Agent and Registrar
The
transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Computershare, Inc.
Listing
Our
common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “GAME.”

Transfer
and Exchange
Each
debt security will be represented by either one or more global securities registered in the name of a clearing agency registered under
the Exchange Act, which we refer to as the depositary, or a nominee of the depositary (we will refer to any debt security represented
by a global debt security as a “book-entry debt security”), or a certificate issued in definitive registered form (we will
refer to any debt security represented by a certificated security as a “certificated debt security”) as set forth in the

book-entry debt securities will not be issuable in certificated form.

a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with a transfer or exchange.
You
may effect the transfer of certificated debt securities and the right to receive the principal of, and premium and interest on certificated
debt securities only by surrendering the certificate representing those certificated debt securities and either reissuance by us or the
trustee of the certificate to the new holder or the issuance by us or the trustee of a new certificate to the new holder.

Debt Securities and Book-Entry System
Each
global debt security representing book-entry debt securities will be deposited with, or on behalf of, the depositary, and registered
in the name of the depositary or a nominee of the depositary.
Covenants
We

Consolidation,
Merger and Sale of Assets
We
may not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets to
any person, which we refer to as a successor person, unless:
| ● | we
are the surviving corporation or the successor person (if other than us) is a corporation
organized and validly existing under the laws of any U.S. domestic jurisdiction and expressly
assumes our obligations on the debt securities and under the indenture; and |
| | |
| ● | immediately
after giving effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of Default, shall have occurred
and be continuing. |
Notwithstanding
the above, any of our subsidiaries may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its assets or properties to us.

and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days (unless the entire amount
of the payment is deposited by us with the trustee or with a paying agent prior to the expiration
of the 30-day period); |
| ● | default
in the payment of principal of any security of that series at its maturity; |
| | |
| ● | default
in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty by us in the indenture (other
than a covenant or warranty that has been included in the indenture solely for the benefit
of a series of debt securities other than that series), which default continues uncured for
a period of 60 days after we receive written notice from the trustee, or we and the trustee
receive written notice from the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding
debt securities of that series as provided in the indenture; |
| | |
| ● | certain
voluntary or involuntary events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of us; and |
| | |
| ● | any
other Event of Default provided with respect to debt securities of that series that is described
in the applicable prospectus supplement. |
No
Event of Default with respect to a particular series of debt securities (except as to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization)
necessarily constitutes an Event of Default with respect to any other series of debt securities. The occurrence of certain Events of
Default or an acceleration under the indenture may constitute an event of default under certain indebtedness of ours or our subsidiaries
outstanding from time to time.
We
will provide the trustee written notice of any Default or Event of Default within 30 days of becoming aware of the occurrence of such
Default or Event of Default, which notice will describe in reasonable detail the status of such Default or Event of Default and what
action we are taking or propose to take in respect thereof.
If
an Event of Default with respect to debt securities of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then the trustee
or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, by a notice in writing
to us (and to the trustee if given by the holders), declare to be due and payable immediately the principal of (or, if the debt securities
of that series are discount securities, that portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) and accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, on all debt securities of that series. In the case of an Event of Default resulting from certain events
of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal (or such specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on
all outstanding debt securities will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the
trustee or any holder of outstanding debt securities. At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to debt securities
of any series has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the trustee, the holders
of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may rescind and annul the acceleration if all Events
of Default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal and interest, if any, with respect to debt securities of that series,
have been cured or waived as provided in the indenture. We refer you to the prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities
that are discount securities for the particular provisions relating to acceleration of a portion of the principal amount of such discount
securities upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
The
indenture provides that the trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture unless
the trustee receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any cost, liability or expense which might be incurred by it in performing
such duty or exercising such right or power. Subject to certain rights of the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount
of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee with respect to the debt securities
of that series.
No
holder of any debt security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the
indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy under the indenture, unless:
| ● | that
holder has previously given to the trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default
with respect to debt securities of that series; and |
| | |
| ● | the
holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that
series have made written request, and offered indemnity or security satisfactory to the trustee,
to the trustee to institute the proceeding as trustee, and the trustee has not received from
the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities
of that series a direction inconsistent with that request and has failed to institute the
proceeding within 60 days. |
Notwithstanding
any other provision in the indenture, the holder of any debt security will have an absolute and unconditional right to receive payment
of the principal of, and premium and any interest on that debt security on or after the due dates expressed in that debt security and
to institute suit for the enforcement of payment.
The
indenture requires us, within 120 days after the end of our fiscal year, to furnish to the trustee a statement as to compliance with
the indenture. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the securities of any series and if it is known
to a responsible officer of the trustee, the trustee shall send to each securityholder of the securities of that series notice of a Default
or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs or, if later, after a responsible officer of the trustee has knowledge of such Default
or Event of Default. The indenture provides that the trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any series of any
Default or Event of Default (except in payment on any debt securities of that series) with respect to debt securities of that series
if the trustee determines in good faith that withholding notice is in the interest of the holders of those debt securities.
Modification

We
and the trustee may modify, amend or supplement the indenture or the debt securities of any series without the consent of any holder
of any debt security:
| ● | to
cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; |

comply with covenants in the indenture described above under the heading “Consolidation,
Merger and Sale of Assets”; |

| | |
| ● | to
provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of debt securities
of any series as permitted by the indenture; |

| ● | to
comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the
indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; |

debt securities of any series relating to transfers or exchanges of the debt securities of
such series or beneficial interests in such securities; or |
| | |
| ● | to
conform any provision of the indenture, insofar as it relates to the debt securities of any
series, to the description of the debt securities of such series in the prospectus supplement
relating to the offering of the debt securities of such series. |
We
may modify and amend the indenture with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt
securities of each series affected by the modifications or amendments. We may not make any modification or amendment without the consent
of the holders of each affected debt security then outstanding if that amendment will:
| ● | reduce
the amount of debt securities whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; |
| | |
| ● | reduce
the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any
debt security; |
| | |

the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous
obligation with respect to any series of debt securities; |
| | |
| ● | reduce
the principal amount of discount securities payable upon acceleration of maturity; |
| | |
| ● | waive
a default in the payment of the principal of, or premium or interest on any debt security
(except a rescission of acceleration of the debt securities of any series by the holders
of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities
of that series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); |
| | |
| ● | make
the principal of or premium or interest on any debt security payable in currency other than
that stated in the debt security; |
| | |
| ● | make
any change to certain provisions of the indenture relating to, among other things, the right
of holders of debt securities to receive payment of the principal of, or premium and interest
on those debt securities and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment; or |
| | |
| ● | waive
a redemption payment with respect to any debt security. |
Except
for certain specified provisions, the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series,
may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series, waive our compliance with provisions of the indenture. The holders
of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series, may on behalf of the holders of all the debt securities
of such series, waive any past default under the indenture with respect to that series and its consequences, except a default in the
payment of the principal of, premium or any interest on any debt security of that series; provided, however, that the holders of a majority
in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any
related payment default that resulted from the acceleration.
Defeasance
of Debt Securities and Certain Covenants in Certain Circumstances
Legal
Defeasance
The
indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, we may be discharged from
any and all obligations in respect of the debt securities of any series (subject to certain exceptions). We will be so discharged upon
the irrevocable deposit with the trustee, in trust, of money and/or U.S. government obligations or, in the case of debt securities denominated
in a single currency other than U.S. dollars, government obligations that issued or caused to be issued such currency, that, through
the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money or U.S. government obligations in an amount
sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank to pay and discharge each
installment of principal, premium and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the debt securities of that series
on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities.
This
discharge may occur only if, among other things, we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel stating that we have received
from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling or, since the date of execution of the indenture,
there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon,
such opinion shall confirm that, the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United
States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to United States federal
income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit, defeasance and
discharge had not occurred.
Defeasance
of Certain Covenants
The
indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, upon compliance with certain
conditions:
| ● | we
may omit to comply with the covenant described under the heading “Consolidation, Merger
and Sale of Assets” and certain other covenants set forth in the indenture, as well
as any additional covenants which may be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement;
and |
| | |
| ● | any
omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default
with respect to the debt securities of that series. |
We
refer to this as covenant defeasance. The conditions include:
| ● | depositing
with the trustee money and/or U.S. government obligations or, in the case of debt securities
denominated in a single currency other than U.S. dollars, government obligations of the government
that issued or caused to be issued such currency, that, through the payment of interest and
principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money in an amount sufficient in the
opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank
to pay and discharge each installment of principal of, premium and interest on and any mandatory
sinking fund payments in respect of the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity
of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities; |
| | |
| ● | such
deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the indenture
or any other agreement to which we are a party; |
| | |
| ● | no
Default or Event of Default with respect to the applicable series of debt securities shall
have occurred or is continuing on the date of such deposit; and |
| | |
| ● | delivering
to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that we have received from, or there has
been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling or, since the date
of execution of the indenture, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal
income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm
that, the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or
loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and related
covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts
and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit and
related covenant defeasance had not occurred. |
No
Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees or Stockholders
None
of our past, present or future directors, officers, employees or stockholders, as such, will have any liability for any of our obligations
under the debt securities or the indenture or for any claim based on, or in respect or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.
By accepting a debt security, each holder waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release is part of the consideration
for the issue of the debt securities. However, this waiver and release may not be effective to waive liabilities under U.S. federal securities
laws, and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.
Governing
Law
The
indenture and the debt securities, including any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the indenture or the securities,
will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
The
indenture will provide that we, the trustee and the holders of the debt securities (by their acceptance of the debt securities) irrevocably
waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or
relating to the indenture, the debt securities or the transactions contemplated thereby.
The
indenture will provide that any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon the indenture or the transactions contemplated
thereby may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City of New York or the courts of the
State of New York, in each case located in the City of New York, and we, the trustee and the holder of the debt securities (by their
acceptance of the debt securities) irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding.
The indenture will provide that service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail (to the extent allowed under any applicable
statute or rule of court) to such party’s address set forth in the indenture will be effective service of process for any suit,
action or other proceeding brought in any such court. The indenture will provide that we, the trustee and the holders of the debt securities
(by their acceptance of the debt securities) irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit,
action or other proceeding in the courts specified above and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim any
such suit, action or other proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
DESCRIPTION
OF DEPOSITARY SHARES
General
We
may, at our option, elect to offer fractional shares of preferred stock, or depositary shares, rather than full shares of preferred stock.
If we do, we will issue to the public receipts, called depositary receipts, for depositary shares, each of which will represent a fraction
of a share of a particular series of preferred stock, to be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise provided
in the prospectus supplement, each owner of a depositary share will be entitled to all the rights and preferences of the preferred stock
represented by the depositary share, in proportion to the applicable fractional interest in a share of preferred stock represented by
the depositary share. Those rights include dividend, voting, redemption, conversion, and liquidation rights.
The
shares of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares will be deposited with a bank or trust company selected by us to act as depositary
under a deposit agreement between us, the depositary and the holders of the depositary receipts. The depositary will be the transfer
agent, registrar and dividend disbursing agent for the depositary shares.
The
depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued pursuant to the depositary agreement. Holders of depositary receipts
agree to be bound by the deposit agreement, which will require holders to take certain actions such as filing proof of residence and
paying certain charges.
The
summary of terms of the depositary shares contained in this prospectus is not complete. You should refer to the form of the deposit agreement,
our Certificate of Incorporation and the certificate of designation for the applicable series of preferred stock that are, or will be,
filed with the SEC.
Dividends
and Other Distributions
The
depositary will distribute all cash dividends or other cash distributions, if any, received in respect of the preferred stock underlying
the depositary shares to the record holders of depositary shares in proportion to the number of depositary shares owned by those holders
on the relevant record date. The relevant record date for depositary shares will be the same date as the record date for the underlying
preferred stock.
If
there is a distribution other than in cash, the depositary will distribute property (including securities) received by it to the record
holders of depositary shares, unless the depositary determines that it is not feasible to make the distribution. If this occurs, with
our approval, the depositary may adopt another method for the distribution, including selling the property and distributing the net proceeds
from the sale to the holders.
Liquidation
Preference
If
a series of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares has a liquidation preference, in the event of the voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of depositary shares will be entitled to receive the fraction of the liquidation
preference accorded each share of the applicable series of preferred stock, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Withdrawal
of Stock
Unless
the related depositary shares have been previously called for redemption, upon surrender of the depositary receipts at the office of
the depositary, the holder of the depositary shares will be entitled to delivery, at the office of the depositary to or upon his or her
order, of the number of whole shares of the preferred stock and any money or other property represented by the depositary shares. If
the depositary receipts delivered by the holder evidence a number of depositary shares in excess of the number of depositary shares representing
the number of whole shares of preferred stock to be withdrawn, the depositary will deliver to the holder, at the same time, a new depositary
receipt evidencing the excess number of depositary shares. In no event will the depositary deliver fractional shares of preferred stock
upon surrender of depositary receipts. Holders of preferred stock so withdrawn may not thereafter deposit those shares under the deposit
agreement or receive depositary receipts evidencing depositary shares therefor.
Redemption
of Depositary Shares
Whenever
we redeem shares of preferred stock held by the depositary, the depositary will redeem as of the same redemption date the number of depositary
shares representing shares of the preferred stock so redeemed, so long as we have paid in full to the depositary the redemption price
of the preferred stock to be redeemed plus an amount equal to any accumulated and unpaid dividends on the preferred stock to the date
fixed for redemption. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the redemption price and any other amounts per share
payable on the preferred stock multiplied by the fraction of a share of preferred stock represented by one depositary share. If less
than all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or pro rata or by any
other equitable method as may be determined by the depositary.
After
the date fixed for redemption, depositary shares called for redemption will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights of the
holders of depositary shares will cease, except the right to receive the monies payable upon redemption and any money or other property
to which the holders of the depositary shares were entitled upon redemption upon surrender to the depositary of the depositary receipts
evidencing the depositary shares.
Voting
the Preferred Stock
Upon
receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of the preferred stock are entitled to vote, the depositary will mail the information
contained in the notice of meeting to the record holders of the depositary receipts relating to that preferred stock. The record date
for the depositary receipts relating to the preferred stock will be the same date as the record date for the preferred stock. Each record
holder of the depositary shares on the record date will be entitled to instruct the depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights
pertaining to the number of shares of preferred stock represented by that holder’s depositary shares. The depositary will endeavor,
insofar as practicable, to vote the number of shares of preferred stock represented by the depositary shares in accordance with those
instructions, and we will agree to take all action that may be deemed necessary by the depositary in order to enable the depositary to
do so. The depositary will not vote any shares of preferred stock except to the extent that it receives specific instructions from the
holders of depositary shares representing that number of shares of preferred stock.
Charges
of the Depositary
We
will pay all transfer and other taxes and governmental charges arising solely from the existence of the depositary arrangements. We will
pay charges of the depositary in connection with the initial deposit of the preferred stock and any redemption of the preferred stock.
Holders of depositary receipts will pay transfer, income and other taxes and governmental charges and such other charges (including those
in connection with the receipt and distribution of dividends, the sale or exercise of rights, the withdrawal of the preferred stock and
the transferring, splitting or grouping of depositary receipts) as are expressly provided in the deposit agreement to be for their accounts.
If these charges have not been paid by the holders of depositary receipts, the depositary may refuse to transfer depositary shares, withhold
dividends and distributions and sell the depositary shares evidenced by the depositary receipt.
Amendment
and Termination of the Deposit Agreement
The
form of depositary receipt evidencing the depositary shares and any provision of the deposit agreement may be amended by agreement between
us and the depositary. However, any amendment that materially and adversely alters the rights of the holders of depositary shares, other
than fee changes, will not be effective unless the amendment has been approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding depositary
shares. The deposit agreement may be terminated by the depositary or us only if:
| ● | all
outstanding depositary shares have been redeemed; or |
| | |
| ● | there
has been a final distribution of the preferred stock in connection with our dissolution and
such distribution has been made to all the holders of depositary shares. |
Resignation
and Removal of Depositary
The
depositary may resign at any time by delivering to us notice of its election to do so, and we may remove the depositary at any time.
Any resignation or removal of the depositary will take effect upon our appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such
appointment. The successor depositary must be appointed within 60 days after delivery of the notice of resignation or removal and must
be a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States and having the requisite combined capital and surplus as
set forth in the applicable agreement.
Notices
The
depositary will forward to holders of depositary receipts all notices, reports and other communications, including proxy solicitation
materials received from us, that are delivered to the depositary and that we are required to furnish to the holders of the preferred
stock. In addition, the depositary will make available for inspection by holders of depositary receipts at the principal office of the
depositary, and at such other places as it may from time to time deem advisable, any reports and communications we deliver to the depositary
as the holder of preferred stock.
Limitation
of Liability
Neither
we nor the depositary will be liable if either is prevented or delayed by law or any circumstance beyond its control in performing its
obligations. Our obligations and those of the depositary will be limited to performance in good faith of our and its duties thereunder.
We and the depositary will not be obligated to prosecute or defend any legal proceeding in respect of any depositary shares or preferred
stock unless satisfactory indemnity is furnished. We and the depositary may rely upon written advice of counsel or accountants, on information
provided by persons presenting preferred stock for deposit, holders of depositary receipts or other persons believed to be competent
to give such information and on documents believed to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.
DESCRIPTION

may issue warrants to purchase debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares or common stock. We may offer warrants separately
or together with one or more additional warrants, debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares or common stock, or any combination
of those securities in the form of units, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. If we issue warrants as part of a unit,

DESCRIPTION
OF SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS
We
may issue subscription rights to purchase our common stock, preferred stock, warrants or debt securities, or units consisting of some
or all of these securities. These subscription rights may be offered independently or together with any other security offered hereby
and may or may not be transferable by the stockholder receiving the subscription rights in such offering. In connection with any offering
of subscription rights, we may enter into a standby arrangement with one or more underwriters or other purchasers pursuant to which the
underwriters or other purchasers may be required to purchase any securities remaining unsubscribed for after such offering.
The
prospectus supplement relating to any subscription rights we offer, if any, will, to the extent applicable, include specific terms relating
to the offering, including some or all of the following:
| ● | the
price, if any, for the subscription rights; |
| | |
| ● | the
exercise price payable for our common stock, preferred stock, warrants or debt securities,
or units consisting of some or all of these securities, upon the exercise of the subscription
rights; |

| | |
| ● | any
other terms of the subscription rights, including the terms, procedures and limitations relating
to the exchange and exercise of the subscription rights; |
| | |
| ● | the
date on which the right to exercise the subscription rights shall commence, and the date
on which the subscription rights shall expire; |
| | |
| ● | the
extent to which the subscription rights may include an over-subscription privilege with respect
to unsubscribed securities or an over-allotment privilege to the extent the securities are
fully subscribed; and |
| | |
| ● | if
applicable, the material terms of any standby underwriting or purchase arrangement which
may be entered into by us in connection with the offering of subscription rights. |
The
descriptions of the subscription rights in this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement are summaries of the material provisions
of the applicable subscription right agreements. These descriptions do not restate those subscription right agreements in their entirety
and may not contain all the information that you may find useful. We urge you to read the applicable subscription right agreements because
the agreements, and not the summaries, define your rights as holders of the subscription rights. For more information, please review
the forms of the relevant subscription right agreements, which will be filed with the SEC promptly after the offering of subscription
rights and will be available as described in the section of this prospectus captioned “Where You Can Find More Information.”
DESCRIPTION
OF PURCHASE CONTRACTS
The
following description summarizes the general features of the purchase contracts that we may offer under this prospectus. Although the
features we have summarized below will generally apply to any future purchase contracts we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe
the particular terms of any purchase contracts that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The specific
terms of any purchase contracts may differ from the description provided below as a result of negotiations with third parties in connection
with the issuance of those purchase contracts, as well as for other reasons. Because the terms of any purchase contracts we offer under
a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms we describe below, you should rely solely on information in the applicable prospectus
supplement if that summary is different from the summary in this prospectus.
We
will incorporate by reference into the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, the form of any purchase contract
that we may offer under this prospectus before the sale of the related purchase contract. We urge you to read any applicable prospectus
supplement related to specific purchase contracts being offered, as well as the complete instruments that contain the terms of the securities
that are subject to those purchase contracts. Certain of those instruments, or forms of those instruments, have been filed as exhibits
to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and supplements to those instruments or forms may be incorporated by
reference into the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, from reports we file with the SEC.
We
may issue purchase contracts, including contracts obligating holders to purchase from us, and for us to sell to holders, a specific or
variable number of our securities at a future date or dates. Alternatively, the purchase contracts may obligate us to purchase from holders,
and obligate holders to sell to us, a specific or varying number of our securities.
If
we offer any purchase contracts, certain terms of that series of purchase contracts will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement,
including, without limitation, the following:
| ● | the
price of the securities or other property subject to the purchase contracts (which may be
determined by reference to a specific formula described in the purchase contracts); |
| | |
| ● | whether
the purchase contracts are issued separately, or as a part of units each consisting of a
purchase contract and one or more of our other securities, securing the holder’s obligations
under the purchase contract; |
| | |
| ● | any
requirement for us to make periodic payments to holders or vice versa, and whether the payments
are unsecured or pre-funded; |
| | |
| ● | any
provisions relating to any security provided for the purchase contracts; |
| | |
| ● | whether
the purchase contracts obligate the holder or us to purchase or sell, or both purchase and
sell, the securities subject to purchase under the purchase contract, and the nature and
amount of each of those securities, or the method of determining those amounts; |
| | |
| ● | whether
the purchase contracts are to be prepaid or not; |
| | |
| ● | whether
the purchase contracts are to be settled by delivery, or by reference or linkage to the value,
performance or level of the securities subject to purchase under the purchase contract; |
| | |
| ● | any
acceleration, cancellation, termination or other provisions relating to the settlement of
the purchase contracts; |
| | |
| ● | a
discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to the purchase contracts; |
| | |
| ● | whether
the purchase contracts will be issued in fully registered or global form; and |
| | |
| ● | any
other terms of the purchase contracts and any securities subject to such purchase contracts. |
DESCRIPTION
OF UNITS
We
may issue units comprised of one or more of the other securities that may be offered under this prospectus, in any combination. The following,
together with the additional information we may include in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the material terms and provisions
of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. While the terms summarized below will apply generally to any units we may offer,
we will describe the particular terms of any series of units in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. If we indicate in
the prospectus supplement, the terms of any units offered under that prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below.
Specific unit agreements will contain additional important terms and provisions and will be incorporated by reference as an exhibit to
the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
Each
unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit
will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide
that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately at any time, or at any time before a specified date.
We
will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of units being offered, including:
| ● | the
material terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether
and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately; |
| | |
| ● | any
material provisions relating to the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of
the units or of the securities comprising the units; and |
| | |
| ● | any
material provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described above. |
We
may issue units in such amounts and in such numbers of distinct series as we determine.
The
provisions described in this section, as well as those described under “Description of Debt Securities,” “Description
of Capital Stock” and “Description of Warrants” will apply to each unit, as applicable, and to any debt
securities, common stock, preferred stock or warrant included in each unit, as applicable.
Unit
Agent
The
name and address of the unit agent for any units we offer will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Enforceability
of Rights by Holders of Units
Each
unit agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable unit agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency
or trust with any holder of any unit. A single bank or trust company may act as unit agent for more than one series of units. A unit
agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable unit agreement or unit, including any duty
or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a unit may, without the
consent of the related unit agent or the holder of any other unit, enforce by appropriate legal action its rights as holder under any
security included in the unit.
DIVIDEND
POLICY
The
payment of dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations,
capital requirements, financial condition, prospects, contractual arrangements, any limitations on payment of dividends present in our
future debt agreements, and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We
may sell the securities in one or more of the following ways (or in any combination) from time to time:
| ● | pursuant
to underwritten public offerings; |
| | |
| ● | in
negotiated transactions; |
| | |
| ● | in
block trades; |
| | |
| ● | in
“at the market” offerings, within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities
Act, to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market on an exchange or otherwise; |
| | |
| ● | subscription
rights offerings, |
| | |
| ● | through
underwriters or dealers; |
| | |
| ● | directly
to purchasers; |
| | |
| ● | through
agents; or |
| | |
| ● | through
a combination of any of these methods of sale. |
In
addition, we may issue the securities as a dividend or distribution or in a subscription rights offering to our existing securityholders.
This prospectus may be used in connection with any offering of our securities through any of these methods or other methods described
in the applicable prospectus supplement.
We
may directly solicit offers to purchase securities, or agents may be designated to solicit such offers. We will, in the prospectus supplement
relating to such offering, name any agent that could be viewed as an underwriter under the Securities Act, and describe any commissions
that we must pay. Any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment or, if indicated in the applicable
prospectus supplement, on a firm commitment basis.
The
distribution of the securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions:
| ● | at
a fixed price, or prices, which may be changed from time to time; |
| | |
| ● | at
market prices prevailing at the time of sale; |
| | |
| ● | at
prices related to such prevailing market prices; or |
| | |
| ● | at
negotiated prices. |
If
we use underwriters in the sale, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time
to time in one or more transactions, including:
| ● | negotiated
transactions; |
| | |
| ● | at
a fixed public offering price or prices, which may be changed; |
| | |
| ● | at
market prices prevailing at the time of sale; |
| | |
| ● | at
prices related to prevailing market prices; or |
| | |
| ● | at
negotiated prices. |
Each
prospectus supplement will describe the method of distribution of the securities and any applicable restrictions.
The
prospectus supplement with respect to the securities of a particular series will describe the terms of the offering of the securities,
including the following:
| ● | the
name of the agent or any underwriters; |
| | |
| ● | the
public offering or purchase price and the proceeds we will receive from the sale of the securities; |
| | |
| ● | any
discounts and commissions to be allowed or re-allowed or paid to the agent or underwriters; |
| | |
| ● | all
other items constituting underwriting compensation; |
| | |
| ● | any
discounts and commissions to be allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers; and |
| | |
| ● | any
exchanges on which the securities will be listed. |
We
may sell the securities through agents from time to time.
We
may sell the securities to other stockholders of the Company through a rights offering. This prospectus may be used in connection with
any offering of our securities through any of these methods or other methods described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
If
any underwriters or agents are utilized in the sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered, we will enter
into an underwriting agreement or other agreement with them at the time of sale to them, and we will set forth in the prospectus supplement
relating to such offering the names of the underwriters or agents and the terms of the related agreement with them.
If
a dealer is utilized in the sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered, we will sell such securities to
the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell such securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by such dealer
at the time of resale.
If
we offer securities in a subscription rights offering to our existing securityholders, we may enter into a standby underwriting agreement
with dealers, acting as standby underwriters. We may pay the standby underwriters a commitment fee for the securities they commit to
purchase on a standby basis. If we do not enter into a standby underwriting arrangement, we may retain a dealer-manager to manage a subscription
rights offering for us.
Remarketing
firms, agents, underwriters, dealers and other persons may be entitled under agreements which they may enter into with us to indemnification
by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and may be customers of, engage in transactions
with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.
If
so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will authorize underwriters or other persons acting as our agents to solicit
offers by certain institutions to purchase securities from us pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery
on the date stated in the prospectus supplement. Each contract will be for an amount not less than, and the aggregate amount of securities
sold pursuant to such contracts shall not be less nor more than, the respective amounts stated in the prospectus supplement. Institutions
with whom the contracts, when authorized, may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment
companies, educational and charitable institutions and other institutions, but shall in all cases be subject to our approval. Delayed
delivery contracts will not be subject to any conditions except that:
| ● | the
purchase by an institution of the securities covered under that contract shall not at the
time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of the jurisdiction to which that institution
is subject; and |
| | |
| ● | if
the securities are also being sold to underwriters acting as principals for their own account,
the underwriters shall have purchased such securities not sold for delayed delivery. The
underwriters and other persons acting as our agents will not have any responsibility in respect
of the validity or performance of delayed delivery contracts. |
Certain
agents, underwriters and dealers, and their associates and affiliates may be customers of, have borrowing relationships with, engage
in other transactions with, and/or perform services, including investment banking services, for us or one or more of our respective affiliates
in the ordinary course of business.
In
order to facilitate the offering of the securities, any underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise
affect the price of the securities or any other securities the prices of which may be used to determine payments on such securities.
Specifically, any underwriters may overallot in connection with the offering, creating a short position for their own accounts. In addition,
to cover overallotments or to stabilize the price of the securities or of any such other securities, the underwriters may bid for, and
purchase, the securities or any such other securities in the open market. Finally, in any offering of the securities through a syndicate
of underwriters, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allowed to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing the
securities in the offering if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed securities in transactions to cover syndicate short positions,
in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities above
independent market levels. Any such underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at
any time.
Under
Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties
to any such trade expressly agree otherwise or the securities are sold by us to an underwriter in a firm commitment underwritten offering.
The applicable prospectus supplement may provide that the original issue date for your securities may be more than two scheduled business
days after the trade date for your securities. Accordingly, in such a case, if you wish to trade securities on any date prior to the
second business day before the original issue date for your securities, you will be required, by virtue of the fact that your securities
initially are expected to settle in more than two scheduled business days after the trade date for your securities, to make alternative
settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
The
securities may be new issues of securities and may have no established trading market. The securities may or may not be listed on a national
securities exchange. We can make no assurance as to the liquidity of or the existence of trading markets for any of the securities.
In
compliance with the guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, the aggregate maximum discount, commission or
agency fees or other items constituting underwriting compensation to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer will
not exceed 8% of the proceeds from any offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement.
LEGAL
MATTERS
Unless
the applicable prospectus supplement indicates otherwise, the validity of the securities being offered by this prospectus will be passed
upon by Baker & Hostetler, LLP. Additional legal matters may be passed upon for us or any underwriters, dealers or agents by counsel
that we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement.
