LogicMark,
Inc.
LogicMark,
Inc. (the “Company”, “LogicMark”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is offering, pursuant
to this prospectus and on a firm commitment basis, 10,585,000 units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of one share of common
stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and one common stock purchase warrant exercisable for one and one-half
shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”). Each Warrant, upon exercise at a price of $0.371 per share (100% of the public offering
price of the Unit), will result in the issuance of one and one-half shares of Common Stock to the holder of such Warrant. The Warrants
will be immediately exercisable and will expire five (5) years after their initial exercise date. This prospectus also relates to the
shares of Common Stock that are issuable from time to time upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”).
We
are also offering 3,440,000 pre-funded units (the “Pre-Funded Units”) to a certain purchaser whose purchase of Units in this
offering would otherwise result in such purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more
than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding Common Stock immediately following the consummation of this
offering. Each Pre-Funded Unit consists of one pre-funded warrant exercisable for one share of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”)
and one Warrant. The purchase price of each Pre-Funded Unit is equal to the price per Unit being sold to the public in this offering,
minus $0.001, and the exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrant included in the Pre-Funded Unit is $0.001 per share. The Pre-Funded Warrants
will be immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. The terms
of the Pre-Funded Warrants are otherwise substantially the same as the terms of the Warrants.
We
are also registering the Common Stock issuable from time to time upon exercise of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants included in the
Units and Pre-Funded Units, respectively, offered hereby. See “Description of Securities That We Are Offering” in this prospectus
for more information.
Neither
the Units nor the Pre-Funded Units have stand-alone rights nor will they be certificated or issued as stand-alone securities. The shares
of Common Stock and Warrants included in the Units are immediately separable, and will be issued separately in this offering, and the
Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants included in the Pre-Funded Units are immediately separable, and will be issued separately in this offering.
Our
Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “LGMK”. The last reported closing
price for our Common Stock on Nasdaq on January 20, 2023 was $0.352 per share.
There
is no established trading market for the Units, Pre-Funded Units, Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop.
In addition, we do not intend to apply for the listing of the Warrants or the Pre-Funded Warrants on any national securities exchange
or other trading market. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of such securities will be limited.

The estimated amount of offering proceeds to us presented in this table does not give effect to any exercise of the option that we have granted to the underwriter to purchase additional shares of Common Stock, Warrants and/or Pre-Funded Warrants as described below. |
(2) |
Represents an underwriting discount equal to 7.0% of the gross offering proceeds; provided that such underwriting discount will be equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds received by the Company in this offering from investors identified and introduced by the Company. See “Underwriting” for additional disclosure regarding underwriting compensation. |
We have granted the underwriter an option to purchase from us, at the
public offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, up to additional 2,103,750 shares of Common Stock and/or Pre-Funded
Warrants and/or up to an additional 2,103,750 Warrants exercisable for up to 3,155,625 shares of Common Stock within 45 days
from the date of this prospectus (equal to 15% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock or Pre-Funded Warrants included in the
Units and Pre-Funded Units, respectively, sold hereby and the number of shares of Common Stock underlying Warrants included in the Units
and Pre-Funded Units sold hereby). The underwriter may exercise such option with respect to Common Stock only, Pre-Funded Warrants
only, Warrants only, or any combination thereof. The purchase price to be paid per share of Common Stock will be equal to the public
offering price of one Unit (less the purchase price allocated to the Warrants, $0.01 per Warrant), less the underwriting discounts and
commissions. The purchase price to be paid per Pre-Funded Warrant will be equal to the public offering price of one Pre-Funded Unit (less
the $0.01 purchase price per Warrant), less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The purchase price to be paid per Warrant will
be $0.01. If the underwriter exercises the option in full for Common Stock or Pre-Funded Warrants only, the total underwriting discounts
and commissions payable in either case will be approximately $0.4 million, and the total proceeds to us, before expenses, will be approximately
$5.6 million. If the underwriter exercises the option for Warrants only, the total underwriting discounts and commissions payable will
be approximately $1,473 and the total additional proceeds to us, before expenses, will be approximately $19,564.
Investing
in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 5 of this prospectus and in the documents
which are incorporated by reference herein to read about factors you should consider before investing in our securities.
We
will deliver the shares of Common Stock being issued to the purchasers electronically and will e-mail such investors electronic warrant
certificates for the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Warrants sold in this offering, upon closing and receipt of investor funds for the purchase
of the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus. We anticipate that delivery of the shares of Common Stock, Pre-Funded Warrants
and Warrants against payment therefor will be made on or before January 25, 2023.

that you should consider before investing in our securities. You should carefully read this entire prospectus, and our other filings
with the SEC, including the following sections, which are either included herein and/or incorporated by reference herein, “Risk

making a decision about whether to invest in our securities.
Company
Overview
LogicMark,
Inc. provides personal emergency response systems (“PERS”), health communications devices, and Internet of Things (“IoT”)
technology that creates a connected care platform. The Company’s devices provide people with the ability to receive care at home
and age independently and to check, manage and monitor a loved one’s health and safety remotely. The Company’s PERS devices
incorporate two-way voice communication technology directly in the medical alert pendant providing life-saving technology at a consumer-friendly
price point aimed at everyday consumers. The Company is focused on modernizing remote monitoring to help people stay safe and live independently
longer. The PERS technologies are sold through dealers and distributors, as well as through the Veterans Health Administration (the “VA”).
The Company enjoys a strong base of business with the VA and plans to expand to other government services after being awarded a five-year
General Services Administration (“GSA”) agreement in 2021.
Healthcare
LogicMark
builds technology to check, manage and monitor a loved one’s health and safety remotely. The Company is focused on modernizing
remote monitoring to help people stay safe and live independently longer. We believe there are five trends driving the demand for better
remote monitoring systems:
1.
The “Silver Tsunami”. With 10,000 Baby Boomers turning 65 daily in the U.S., there will be more older adults than children
under 18 for the first time in the near future. With 72 million “Baby Boomers” in the United States, they are not only the
largest generation but the wealthiest. Unlike older generations before them, they are reliant and comfortable with technology. Most of
them expect to live independently in their current home or downsize to a smaller home as they get older.
2.
Shift to At-Home Care. As it stands, the current healthcare system is unprepared for the strain and is shifting much of the care
elderly patients used to receive at a hospital or medical facility to the patient’s home. The rise of digital communication to
support remote care exploded during the COVID-19 pandemic. The need for connected and remote monitoring devices is more necessary and
in-demand than ever.
3.
Rise of Data and IoT. Doctors and clinicians are asking for patients to track more and more vital signs. Whether it’s how they
are reacting to medication or tracking blood sugars, patients and their caregivers are participating in their healthcare in unprecedented
ways. Consumers are using data collected from connected devices like never before. This data can be used to prevent health emergencies
as technology companies use machine learning (ML) / artificial intelligence (“AI”) to learn patient patterns and alert the
patient and their care team to prevent emergencies.
4.
Lack of Healthcare Workers. It is estimated that 20% of healthcare workers have quit during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many healthcare
workers who are currently working are suffering from burnout, exhaustion and demoralization due to this pandemic. There are not enough
healthcare workers to support our entire population throughout this pandemic, let alone enough to support our elderly population. The
responsibility of taking care of elderly family members is increasingly falling on the family, and they need help.
5.
Rise of the Care Economy. The term “Care Economy” refers to the money people contribute to care for people until the
end of their lives; the Care Economy offsets the deficiencies within the healthcare system and the desire to age in place. There has
been little innovation in the industry because the majority of PERS are operated by home security companies. It is not their main line
of business, and they have little expertise in developing or launching machine-learning algorithms or artificial intelligence.
The
PERS Opportunity
PERS,
also known as a medical alert or medical alarm system, is designed to indicate the presence of a threat that requires immediate attention
and then immediately contacts a trusted family member and the emergency medical workforce. Unlike conventional alarm systems which consist
of a transmitter and are activated in the case of an emergency, PERS transmits signals to an alarm monitoring medical team, which then
departs for the location where the alarm was activated. These types of medical alarms are traditionally utilized by the disabled, elderly
or those living alone.
The
PERS market is generally divided into direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) and Healthcare Partner (“Healthcare”) customer
channels. With the advent of new technologies, demographic changes, and the five previously stated trends in healthcare, an expanded
opportunity exists for LogicMark to provide at-home and on-the-go health and safety solutions to both customer channels.
For
LogicMark, growing the Healthcare opportunity relies on partnering with organizations such as government, Medicaid, hospitals, insurance
companies, managed care organizations, affiliates and dealers. Partners can provide leads at no cost for new and replacement customers,
have significant buying power and can provide collaboration on product research and development.
Our
longstanding partnership with the VA is a good example. LogicMark has been selling PERS devices to the U.S. government for many years.
The signing of the GSA Agreement in 2021 further strengthens our partnership with the government and expands our ability to capture new
sales. We envision a focus on growing the Healthcare channel during 2022 given lower acquisition costs and higher customer unit economics.
In
addition to the Healthcare channel, LogicMark also expects to grow sales volume by establishing a DTC channel. It is estimated that approximately
70% of PERS customers fall into the DTC category. Family members regularly conduct research and purchase PERS devices for their loved
ones through online portals. The Company expects traditionally higher customer acquisition costs to be balanced by higher sales growth
and lower sales cycles with an online DTC channel.
With
the growth in IoT devices, data driven solutions using artificial intelligence and machine learning are helping guide the growth of the
PERS industry. In both the Healthcare and DTC channels, product offerings can include 24/7 emergency response, fall detection, activity
monitoring, medication management, caregiver and patient portals, concierge services, telehealth, vitals monitoring, and customer dashboards.
These product offerings are primarily delivered via mobile and home-base equipment. LogicMark will also pursue research and development
partnerships to grow our product offering.
Corporate
Information
We
were incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 8, 2012. In 2016, we acquired LogicMark, LLC, which operated as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company until December 30, 2021 when it was merged into the Company (formerly known as Nxt-ID Inc.) along with the
Company’s other subsidiary, 3D-ID, LLC. Effective February 28, 2022, the Company changed its name from Nxt-ID, Inc. to LogicMark,
Inc. The Company has realigned its business strategy with that of its former LogicMark, LLC operating division, managing contract manufacturing
and distribution of non-monitored and monitored PERS sold through the VA, healthcare durable medical equipment dealers and distributors
and monitored security dealers and distributors.
Our
principal executive office is located at 2801 Diode Lane, Louisville, KY 40299, and our telephone number is (502) 519-2419. Our website
address is www.logicmark.com. The information contained therein or connected thereto shall not be deemed to be incorporated into
this prospectus. The information on our website is not part of this prospectus.
THE
OFFERING
Units offered by us |
|
10,585,000
Units, each consisting of one share of Common Stock and one Warrant to purchase one and one-half shares of Common Stock. The Units
have no stand-alone rights and will not be certificated or issued as stand-alone securities. The Common Stock and Warrants
are immediately separable and will be issued separately in this offering. |
|
|
|
Pre-Funded Units offered
by us |
|
We are also offering 3,440,000
Pre-Funded Units to certain purchasers whose purchase of Units in this offering would otherwise result in the purchaser, together
with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%)
of our outstanding Common Stock immediately following the consummation of this offering. Each Pre-Funded Unit consists of one Pre-Funded
Warrant and one Warrant, which are immediately separable and will be issued separately in this offering. The Pre-Funded Units have
no stand-alone rights and will not be certificated or issued as stand-alone securities. The purchase price of each Pre-Funded
Unit is equal to the price per Unit being sold to the public in this offering, minus $0.001, and the exercise price of each Pre-Funded
Warrant included in the Pre-Funded Unit is $0.001 per share. |
|
|
|
Warrants and Pre-Funded
Warrants offered by us |
|
Each Warrant will have an exercise price of $0.371 per share (100%
of the public offering price per Unit). Each Warrant and Pre-Funded Warrant will be immediately exercisable by paying the aggregate exercise
price for the Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants being exercised and, in the event there is, at any time, after the initial exercise date,
no effective registration statement registering the Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, or the prospectus contained therein is
not available for the issuance of the Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, then the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable,
may also be exercised on a cashless basis for a net number of shares, as provided in the formula in the Warrant and Pre-Funded Warrant.
In either case, the Warrants will expire on the fifth anniversary of their initial exercise date and the Pre-Funded Warrants will be exercisable
until they are exercised in full. The terms of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants will be governed by a warrant agency agreement, dated
as of the effective date of this offering, between us and Nevada Agency and Transfer Company, as the warrant agent (the “Warrant
Agent”). In addition, on the date on which the Company next effects a reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of Common Stock,
the exercise price of the Warrants will be reset to the lesser of (i) the exercise price then in effect after taking into account and
adjusting for such reverse stock split and (ii) the closing per share price of the Common Stock immediately prior to the effective date
of such reverse stock split, taking into account and adjusting for such split. This offering also relates to the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants. See “Description of Securities That We Are Offering –
Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants”.

RISK
FACTORS
An
investment in the securities offered under this prospectus involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider and evaluate
all of the information contained in this prospectus and in the documents that we incorporate by reference herein before you decide to
invest in our securities. In particular, you should carefully consider and evaluate the risks and uncertainties described under the heading
“Risk Factors” in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein. Investors are further advised that
the risks described below may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not yet know of, or that we currently think
are immaterial, may also negatively impact our business operations or financial results. Any of the risks and uncertainties set forth
in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, as updated by annual, quarterly and other reports and documents
that we file with the SEC and incorporate by reference into this prospectus, could materially and adversely affect our business, results
of operations and financial condition, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the value of our securities.
Risks
Related to this Offering and Ownership of Our Common Stock
The
market price for our Common Stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded
public float, and lack of profits, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. You may be unable to sell your shares of
Common Stock at or above the public offering price of the Common Stock included in the Units purchased in this offering, which may result
in substantial losses to you.
The
market for our Common Stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to the shares of larger, more established
companies that have large public floats, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than the shares of such
larger, more established companies for the indefinite future. The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors.
First, as noted above, our Common Stock is, compared to the shares of such larger, more established companies, sporadically and thinly
traded. The price for our Common Stock could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our Common Stock
is sold on the market without commensurate demand. Secondly, we are a speculative or “risky” investment due to our lack of
profits to date. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their
investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares of Common Stock on the market more
quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a larger, more established company that has a large public
float. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our Common Stock regardless of our operating
performance.
Because
of volatility in the stock market in general, the market price of our Common Stock will also likely be volatile.
The
stock market in general, and the market for stocks of healthcare technology companies in particular, has been highly volatile. As a result,
the market price of our Common Stock is likely to be volatile, and investors in our Common Stock may experience a decrease, which could
be substantial, in the value of their shares of Common Stock or the loss of their entire investment for a number of reasons, including
reasons unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. The market price of our Common Stock could be subject to wide fluctuations
in response to a broad and diverse range of factors, including those described elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section and
this prospectus and the following:
|
● |
recent
price volatility and any known risks of investing in our Common Stock under these circumstances; |
|
● |
the
market price of our Common Stock prior to the recent price volatility; |
|
● |
any
recent change in financial condition or results of operations, such as in earnings, revenues or other measure of company value that
is consistent with the recent change in the prices of our Common Stock; and |
|
● |
risk
factors addressing the recent extreme volatility in stock price, the effects of a potential “short squeeze” due to a
sudden increase in demand for our Common Stock as a result of current investor exuberance associated with technology-related stocks,
the impact that this offering could have on the price of our Common Stock and on investors where there is a significant number of
shares of Common Stock being offered relative to the number of shares of our Common Stock currently outstanding and, to the extent
that the Company expects to conduct additional offerings in the future to fund its operations or provide liquidity, the dilutive
impact of those offerings on investors that purchase such shares in the offering at a significantly higher price. |
Substantial
future sales of shares of our Common Stock could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline.
We
expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the near future to continue our planned operations. Sales of a substantial
number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market following the completion of this offering, or the perception that these sales
might occur, could depress the market price of our Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional
equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that such sales may have on the prevailing market price of our Common Stock.
We
have been notified by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC of our failure to comply with certain continued listing requirements and, if we are
unable to regain compliance with all applicable continued listing requirements and standards of Nasdaq, our Common Stock could be delisted
from Nasdaq.
Our
Common Stock is currently listed on Nasdaq. In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other continued
listing requirements and standards, including those regarding director independence and independent committee requirements, minimum stockholders’
equity, minimum share price, and certain corporate governance requirements.
On
October 31, 2022, we received a written notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC notifying
us that we were not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq, as set forth under Nasdaq Listing
Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”), because the closing bid price of our Common Stock was below
$1.00 per share for the previous thirty (30) consecutive business days. We were granted 180 calendar days, or until May 1, 2023, to regain
compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. In the event we do not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by
May 1, 2023, we may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day grace period. To qualify, we will be required to meet the continued
listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other listing standards for Nasdaq, with the exception of the Minimum
Bid Price Requirement, and will need to provide written notice to The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC of our intent to regain compliance with
such requirement during such second compliance period. If we do not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period(s), including
any extensions that may be granted, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC will provide notice that our Common Stock will be subject to delisting
from Nasdaq. At that time, we may appeal The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC’s determination to a hearings panel. The Company intends to
hold a planned special meeting of its stockholders to approve, among other things, the Board’s ability to effect a reverse split
of its outstanding shares of Common Stock in the range of one-for-five to one-for-twenty for the sole purpose of regaining compliance
with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and has filed a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC on January 4, 2023 regarding such special
meeting (the “Special Meeting”).
There
can be no assurances that we will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or if we do later regain compliance
with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, that we will be able to continue to comply with all applicable Nasdaq listing requirements now
or in the future. If we are unable to maintain compliance with these Nasdaq requirements, our Common Stock will be delisted from Nasdaq.
In
the event that our Common Stock is delisted from Nasdaq, as a result of our failure to comply with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement,
or due to our failure to continue to comply with any other requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq, and is not eligible for listing
on another exchange, trading in the shares of our Common Stock could be conducted in the over-the-counter market or on an electronic
bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the Pink Sheets or the OTC Bulletin Board. In such event, it could become
more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate price quotations for, our Common Stock, and it would likely be more difficult to obtain
coverage by securities analysts and the news media, which could cause the price of our Common Stock to decline further. Also, it may
be difficult for us to raise additional capital if we are not listed on a national exchange.
We
may seek to raise additional funds, finance acquisitions or develop strategic relationships by issuing securities that would dilute the
ownership of the Common Stock. Depending on the terms available to us, if these activities result in significant dilution, it may negatively
impact the trading price of our shares of Common Stock.
We
have financed our operations, and we expect to continue to finance our operations, acquisitions, if any, and the development of strategic
relationships by issuing equity and/or convertible securities, which could significantly reduce the percentage ownership of our existing
stockholders. Further, any additional financing that we secure may require the granting of rights, preferences or privileges senior to,
or pari passu with, those of our Common Stock. Additionally, we may acquire other technologies or finance strategic alliances by issuing
our equity or equity-linked securities, which may result in additional dilution. Any issuances by us of equity securities may be at or
below the prevailing market price of our Common Stock and in any event may have a dilutive impact on your ownership interest, which could
cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline. We may also raise additional funds through the incurrence of debt or the issuance
or sale of other securities or instruments senior to our shares of Common Stock. The holders of any securities or instruments we may
issue may have rights superior to the rights of our common stockholders. If we experience dilution from issuance of additional securities
and we grant superior rights to new securities over such stockholders, it may negatively impact the trading price of our shares of Common
Stock.
We
could issue “blank check” preferred stock without stockholder approval with the effect of diluting then current stockholder
interests and impairing their voting rights; and provisions in our charter documents could discourage a takeover that stockholders may
consider favorable.
Our
Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock with designations,
rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our Board. Our Board is empowered, without stockholder approval, to
issue a series of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could dilute the interest of,
or impair the voting power of, our common stockholders. The issuance of a series of preferred stock could be used as a method of discouraging,
delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. For example, it would be possible for our Board to issue preferred stock with
voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of the Company. The Series C Preferred
Stock currently ranks senior to the Common Stock and our Series F Preferred Stock, and any class or series of capital stock created after
the Series C Preferred Stock and has a special preference upon the liquidation of the Company. The Series F Preferred Stock currently
ranks senior to the Common Stock and any class or series of capital stock created after the Series F Preferred Stock and has a special
preference upon the liquidation of the Company. For further information regarding our shares of (i) Series C Preferred Stock, please
refer to the Certificate of Designation filed as an exhibit to, and the disclosure contained in, the Series C Certificate of Designations
filed as an exhibit to, and the disclosure contained in, our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 30, 2017 and (ii) Series
F Preferred Stock, please refer to the Form of Series F Certificate of Designation filed as an exhibit to, and the disclosure contained
in, our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 17, 2021.
If
and when a larger trading market for our Common Stock develops, the market price of our Common Stock is still likely to be highly volatile
and subject to wide fluctuations, and you may be unable to resell your shares of Common Stock at or above the public offering price of
the shares of Common Stock included in the Units in this offering.
The
market price of our Common Stock may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors
that are beyond our control, including, but not limited to:
| ● | variations
in our revenues and operating expenses; |
|
● |
actual
or anticipated changes in the estimates of our operating results or changes in stock market analyst recommendations regarding our
Common Stock, other comparable companies or our industry generally; |
|
● |
market
conditions in our industry, the industries of our customers and the economy as a whole; |
|
● |
actual
or expected changes in our growth rates or our competitors’ growth rates; |
|
● |
developments
in the financial markets and worldwide or regional economies; |
|
● |
announcements
of innovations or new products or services by us or our competitors; |
|
● |
announcements
by the government relating to regulations that govern our industry; |
|
● |
sales
of our Common Stock or other securities by us or in the open market; |
|
● |
changes
in the market valuations of other comparable companies; and |
|
● |
other
events or factors, many of which are beyond our control, including those resulting from such events, or the prospect of such events,
including war, terrorism and other international conflicts, public health issues including health epidemics or pandemics, such as
the recent outbreak of COVID-19, and natural disasters such as fire, hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados or other adverse weather and
climate conditions, whether occurring in the United States or elsewhere, could disrupt our operations, disrupt the operations of
our suppliers or result in political or economic instability. |
In
addition, if the market for technology stocks or the stock market in general experiences loss of investor confidence, the trading price
of our Common Stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition or operating results. The trading price
of our Common Stock might also decline in reaction to events that affect other companies in our industry, even if these events do not
directly affect us. Each of these factors, among others, could harm the value of your investment in our Common Stock and our other securities.
In the past, following periods of volatility in the market, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies.
Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources,
which could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
We
may acquire other technologies or finance strategic alliances by issuing our equity or equity-linked securities, which may result in
additional dilution to our stockholders.
If
securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or publish negative reports about our business,
our share price and trading volume could decline.
The
trading market for our Common Stock may depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts may publish about
us or our business, our market and our competitors. We do not have any control over such analysts. If one or more such analysts downgrade
or publish a negative opinion of our Common Stock, our share price would likely decline. If analysts do not cover our Company or do not
regularly publish reports on us, we may not be able to attain visibility in the financial markets, which could have a negative impact
on our share price or trading volume.
We
do not anticipate paying dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future; you should not invest in our shares of Common Stock
if you expect dividends.
The
payment of dividends on our Common Stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting
us at such time as our Board may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our shares of Common Stock may be less valuable because
a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.
Additionally,
the holder of our shares of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends pursuant to the Series C Certificate of Designations.
The Series C Certificate of Designations requires us to pay cash dividends on our Series C Preferred Stock on a quarterly and cumulative
basis at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum commencing on the date of issuance of such shares, which rate increases to fifteen percent
(15%) per annum in the event that the Company’s market capitalization is $50 million or greater for thirty consecutive days. We
are currently obligated to declare and pay $75,000 in quarterly dividends on our shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The Series F Certificate
of Designation required us to pay dividends on our Series F Preferred Stock at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum commencing on the
date of issuance of such shares, which were payable until the earlier of the date on which such shares were converted or twelve months
from such date of issuance, as applicable. As of the date of this prospectus, we are no longer obligated to declare and pay dividends
on outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock, as such shares were issued over twelve months prior to such date, and an aggregate
of approximately 37,800 shares of Common Stock are payable as dividends to the holder of our shares of Series F Preferred Stock.
Subject
to the payment of dividends on our shares of Series C Preferred Stock, we currently intend to retain our future earnings to support operations
and to finance expansion and, therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future.
Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy
and sell our shares Common Stock.
FINRA
has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing
that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional
customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status,
investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that
speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for certain customers. FINRA requirements will likely make it more difficult for
broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our shares of Common Stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading
activity in our common stock. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our Common Stock, reducing a stockholder’s
ability to resell shares of our Common Stock.
We
have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.
Our
management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering, including for any of the purposes described
in the section of this prospectus entitled “Use of Proceeds.” The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively
could harm our business.
There
is no public market for the Units, Pre-Funded Units, Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants.
There
is no established public trading market for the Units, Pre-Funded Units, Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants offered hereby, and we do not
expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list such securities on any national securities exchange or other
nationally recognized trading system, including Nasdaq. Without an active market, the liquidity of such securities will be limited.
The
Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants in this offering are speculative in nature.
Following this offering, the market value of
the Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants, if any, is uncertain and there can be no assurance that the market value of the Warrants and
the Pre-Funded Warrants will equal or exceed their imputed public offering price. In the event that our Common Stock price does not exceed
the exercise price of the Warrants during the period when such Warrants and Pre-Funded are exercisable, such Warrants and Pre-Funded
Warrants may not have any value. Furthermore, each Warrant will expire five years from its initial exercise date and each Pre-Funded
Warrant will be exercisable until exercised in full.
Holders
of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants will not have rights of holders of our shares of Common Stock until such Warrants and Pre-Funded
Warrants are exercised.
The
Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants in this offering do not confer any rights of share ownership on their holders, but rather merely represent
the right to acquire shares of our Common Stock at a fixed price. Until holders of Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants acquire shares of
our Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable, holders of Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants will
have no rights with respect to our shares of Common Stock underlying such Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants.
Risks
Relating to our Business
We
are uncertain of our ability to generate sufficient revenue and profitability in the future.
We
continue to develop and refine our business model, but we can provide no assurance that we will be able to generate a sufficient amount
of revenue, from our business in order to achieve profitability. It is not possible for us to predict at this time the potential success
of our business. The revenue and income potential of our proposed business and operations are currently unknown. If we cannot continue
as a viable entity, you may lose some or all of your investment in our Company.
The
Company generated an operating loss of $4,546,683 and a net loss of $4,488,936 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. As of September
30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and stockholders’ equity of $9,328,504 and $23,039,621, respectively. As of
September 30, 2022, the Company had working capital of $9,391,383, compared to working capital on December 31, 2021, of $13,098,049.
We
cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to raise additional cash from equity financings, secure debt financing, and/or generate
revenue from the sales of our products. If we are unable to secure additional capital, we may be required to curtail our research and
development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve our cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations
and meet our obligations.

as expressly required under federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we expressly disclaim any intent or obligation
to update any forward-looking statements or risk factors, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf

by these cautionary statements.
INDUSTRY
AND MARKET DATA
Unless
otherwise indicated, information contained in this prospectus concerning our industry and the market in which we operate, including our
market position, market opportunity and market size, is based on information from various sources, on assumptions that we have made based
on such data and other similar sources and on our knowledge of the markets for our products. These data sources involve a number of assumptions
and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates.
We
have not independently verified any third-party information. While we believe the market position, market opportunity and market size
information included in this prospectus is generally reliable, such information is inherently imprecise. In addition, projections, assumptions
and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industry in which we operate is necessarily subject to a high
degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors”
and elsewhere in this prospectus, any supplements or amendments thereto and in any documents that we incorporate by reference into the
registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those
expressed in the estimates made by the independent parties and by us.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that the net proceeds to us from the sale of the securities
offered hereby will be approximately $4.4 million (approximately $5.1 million if the underwriters exercise their option in full solely
for shares of Common Stock or solely for Pre-Funded Warrants and $5.1 million if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option
in full solely for Warrants), based on an assumed public offering price of $0.371 per Unit and $0.37 per Pre-Funded Warrant, and after
deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us (in each case assuming no exercise of the Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants
issued in connection with this offering). We will only receive additional proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants
issuable in this offering if such Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised at their assumed exercise price of $0.371 per share and
$0.001 per share, respectively, and the holders of such Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants pay the exercise price of such Warrants and Pre-Funded
Warrants in cash.
As
of the date of this prospectus, we cannot predict with certainty all the uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the completion
of this offering. We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for new product development and working capital. We
may also use a portion of the net proceeds for the acquisitions of businesses, products, technologies or licenses that are complementary
to our business, although we have no present commitments or agreements to do so. We have not allocated specific amounts of net proceeds
for any of these purposes.
DIVIDEND
POLICY
We
have never declared or paid any dividends on our Common Stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings
for the operation and expansion of our business and, therefore, we do not anticipate declaring or paying dividends in the foreseeable
future.
The
payment of dividends on our Common Stock will be at the discretion of our Board, are subject to the terms of the Series C Certificate
of Designations and the dividend payments made to holders of our shares of Series C Preferred Stock, 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 may deem relevant. The Series F Certificate of Designation required us
to pay dividends on our Series F Preferred Stock commencing on the date of issuance of such shares, which were payable until the earlier
of the date on which such shares were converted or twelve months from such date of issuance, as applicable. As of the date of this prospectus,
we are no longer obligated to declare and pay dividends on outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock, as such shares were issued
over twelve months prior to such date. See “Risk Factors – We do not anticipate paying dividends on our Common Stock in
the foreseeable future; you should not invest in our shares of Common Stock if you expect dividends”.

Employment
Agreements
Chia-Lin
Simmons
On
June 14, 2021, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Chia-Lin Simmons (the “Prior Agreement”), pursuant to
which she was appointed our Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board, effective June 14, 2021, in consideration for an annual
cash salary of $450,000. The Simmons Agreement provided for incentive bonuses as determined by the Board, a one-time sign-on bonus of
$50,000, and employee benefits, including health and disability insurance, in accordance with the Company’s policies, and remains
in effect until her employment with the Company is terminated.
Additionally,
pursuant to the Prior Agreement and as a material inducement to her acceptance of employment with the Company, the Company offered Ms.
Simmons a stock award of 266,560 shares of restricted Common Stock. Such stock award was approved by the Board’s compensation committee
and the shares were issued in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4) outside of our 2013 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (“LTIP”)
and our 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (“2017 SIP”), vesting over a four-year period commencing on October 15, 2021, with a quarter
to vest on the anniversary of that date, and thereafter in quarterly amounts until such award has fully vested, so long as Ms. Simmons
remains in the service of the Company.
On
November 2, 2022, the Company executed and entered into a new executive employment agreement (the “Simmons Agreement”) with
Ms. Simmons, effective as of June 14, 2022 and which supersedes the Prior Agreement. The term of the Simmons Agreement commenced on June
14, 2022 and continues through and until August 31, 2025 (the “Term”), unless terminated on an earlier date pursuant to the
terms set forth in the Simmons Agreement. Pursuant to the Simmons Agreement, Ms. Simmons will receive an annual base salary of $500,000
(the “Base Salary”) and will be eligible to receive an annual bonus as of such effective date (the “Annual Bonus”).
The Annual Bonus will have a maximum amount of 100% of Ms. Simmons’ base salary and is contingent upon Ms. Simmons meeting certain
annual goals (the “Annual Bonus Goals”) as approved by the Board. Following the close of each fiscal year, the Board’s
compensation committee will determine the Annual Bonus within the guidance under the Annual Bonus Goals. The Simmons Agreement also provides
that subject to the approval of the Board, Ms. Simmons will be granted restricted shares of Common Stock from time to time during the
Term so that the aggregate number of such restricted shares of Common Stock held of record by Ms. Simmons at all times during the Term
equals six percent (6%) of the Company’s aggregate issued and outstanding stock as of the applicable date of grant. The Simmons
Agreement also provides for certain employee benefits, including health and disability insurance in accordance with the Company’s
policies, an allowance up to $30,000 per year to be used for educational or coaching purposes and covers the cost to Ms. Simmons of her
personal tax, financial planning and wealth management services of up to $10,000 per year.
Pursuant
to the Simmons Agreement, if the Board terminates Ms. Simmons’ employment with Cause (as defined in the Simmons Agreement), or
she resigns from the Company without Good Reason (as defined in the Simmons Agreement), then the Company shall pay the Base Salary prorated
through the date of termination, at the rate in effect at the time notice of termination is given, together with accrued but unused vacation
pay. In addition, Ms. Simmons will retain all of the restricted shares of Common Stock granted to pursuant to the Simmons Agreement that
have vested as of the date of termination. The Board also may terminate Ms. Simmons without Cause upon sixty (60) days’ written
notice. If Ms. Simmons terminates such employment with Good Reason, or such employment is terminated without Cause or due to Ms. Simmons’s
death or disability, Ms. Simmons would be entitled to receive the greater of (i) the balance of Base Salary and benefits still owed,
and (ii) salary continuation and COBRA coverage for twelve (12) months, and would also be entitled to the target Bonus (irrespective
of Annual Bonus Goals) prorated up until the date of termination and accrued but unused vacation pay, payment of both of which will be
made at the time of termination, and all unvested restricted shares of Common Stock granted pursuant to the Simmons Agreement will vest
in full as of such date of termination.
Mark
Archer
Effective
July 15, 2021, the Board appointed Mr. Archer as Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company. In connection with the appointment,
the Company entered into an agreement, effective July 15, 2021, with FLG Partners (the “FLG Agreement”), of which Mr. Archer
is a partner, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay FLG Partners $500 per hour for its engagement of Mr. Archer’s services
as Interim Chief Financial Officer. The FLG Agreement also requires the Company to indemnify Mr. Archer and FLG Partners in connection
with Mr. Archer’s services to the Company. The FLG Agreement has an indefinite term and is terminable by the Company or FLG Partners
upon 60 days’ prior written notice.
Effective
February 15, 2022, the Board appointed Mr. Archer as our permanent Chief Financial Officer. In connection with the appointment, the Company
and FLG Partners entered into an amendment to the FLG Agreement, dated February 15, 2022 (the “Amendment”), pursuant to which
the Company agreed to amend the fee payable to FLG Partners to $10,000 per week, to permit Mr. Archer to separately invoice the Company
for administrative charges of $2,000 per month, payable to Mr. Archer only, and to the issuance of 129,384 restricted shares of Common
Stock to Mr. Archer and 6,810 restricted shares of Common Stock to FLG Partners, a quarter of each such issuance to vest on July 15,
2022, with subsequent vesting at 6.25% for each three-month period thereafter. Mr. Archer did not receive any securities of the Company
in connection with the FLG Agreement or the Amendment during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
Other
Compensation
We
provide standard health insurance benefits to our executive officers, on the same terms and conditions as provided to all other eligible
employees. We believe these benefits are consistent with the broad-based employee benefits provided at the companies with whom we compete
for talent and therefore are important to attracting and retaining qualified employees. Other than as described above, there were no
post-employment compensation, pension or nonqualified deferred compensation benefits earned by our named executive officers during the
years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. We do not have any retirement, pension or profit-sharing programs for the benefit of our directors,
officers or other employees. The Board may recommend adoption of one or more such programs in the future.

SECURITY
OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The
following table sets forth, as of January 20, 2023, information regarding beneficial ownership of our capital stock by:
|
● |
each person,
or group of affiliated persons, who is known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our Common Stock, Series C Preferred Stock,
and Series F Preferred Stock; |
|
● |
each of
our named executive officers; |
|
● |
each of
our directors; and |
|
● |
all of
our executive officers and directors as a group. |
The
percentage ownership information shown in the table prior to this offering is based upon 9,608,937 shares of Common Stock, 200 shares
of Series C Preferred Stock, and 173,333 shares of Series F Preferred outstanding as of January 20, 2023. The percentage ownership information
shown in the table after this offering is based upon 20,193,937 shares of Common Stock (based on the issuance of 10,585,000 shares of
Common Stock included in the Units to be sold in this offering, at a public offering price of $0.371 per Unit), 200 shares of Series
C Preferred Stock, and 173,333 shares of Series F Preferred Stock convertible into an aggregate of 115,556 shares of Common Stock, outstanding
as of such date, assuming no exercise of any Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants and no exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase
additional securities from us.
Beneficial
ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC and generally means that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if
he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power of that security, including securities that are exercisable for shares
of Common Stock or Series C Preferred Stock within sixty (60) days of January 20, 2023. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we
believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with
respect to all shares of Common Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock shown that they beneficially own, subject
to community property laws where applicable.
For
purposes of computing the percentage of outstanding shares of our Common Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, and Series F Preferred Stock
held by each person or group of persons named above, and any shares of Common Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, or Series F Preferred
Stock that such person or persons has the right to acquire within sixty (60) days of January 20, 2023 is deemed to be outstanding, but
is not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The inclusion herein of any
shares of Common Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, and Series F Preferred Stock listed as beneficially owned does not constitute an admission
of beneficial ownership. Unless otherwise identified, the address of each beneficial owner listed in the table below is c/o LogicMark,
Inc., 2801 Diode Lane, Louisville, KY 40299.

DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES THAT WE ARE OFFERING
We
are offering 10,585,000 Units, each Unit consisting of one share of our Common Stock and one Warrant (at a price of $0.371 per Unit)
and 3,440,000 Pre-Funded Units, each Pre-Funded Unit consisting of one Pre-Funded Warrant and one Warrant (at a price of $0.37 per Pre-Funded
Unit). The Units and Pre-Funded Units have no stand-alone rights and will not be certificated or issued as stand-alone securities. The
shares of our Common Stock included in the Units will be issued separately from the Warrants included in the Units and the Pre-Funded
Warrants included in the Pre-Funded Units will be issued separately from the Warrants included in the Pre-Funded Units. We are also registering
the shares of our Common Stock issuable from time to time upon exercise of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants offered hereby. The following
descriptions of our Common Stock, Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants and certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, our by-laws
and Delaware law are summaries. You should also refer to our Certificate of Incorporation and our by-laws, which are filed as exhibits
to the registration statement of which this prospectus is part.
General
The
Company is authorized to issue 110,000,000 shares of its capital stock consisting of (a) 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock and (b) 10,000,000
shares of “blank check” preferred stock, of which 2,000 shares of preferred stock were designated as the Series C Preferred
Stock and 1,333,333 shares of preferred stock were designated as Series F Preferred Stock.
As of January
20, 2023, 9,608,937 shares of our Common Stock were issued and outstanding, held by 88 stockholders of record (which do not include
shares of Common Stock held in street name), which number excludes the following as of such date: (i) the exercise of outstanding warrants
to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,295,380 shares of Common Stock with an approximate weighted average exercise price and remaining
life in years of $6.02 and 4.02, respectively, and (ii) the exercise of outstanding options to purchase up to an aggregate of 530,000
shares of Common Stock at a weighted average exercise price of $2.61 per share. In addition, as of January 20, 2023, 200 shares of our
Series C Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding, held by one stockholder of record and 173,333 shares of Series F Preferred Stock
were issued and outstanding, held by one stockholder of record. The Series C Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Common Stock and the
Series F Preferred Stock with respect to dividends and redemption rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company and the Series F Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Common Stock with respect to dividends and redemption rights and rights
upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
Common
Stock
Each
share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote, either in person or by proxy, at meetings of stockholders. Our stockholders are
not permitted to vote their shares cumulatively. Accordingly, the holders of our Common Stock who hold, in the aggregate, more than 50%
of the total voting rights can elect all of our directors and, in such event, the holders of the remaining minority shares will not be
able to elect any of such directors. The vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled
to vote thereon is sufficient to authorize, affirm, ratify or consent to such act or action, except as otherwise provided by law.
Holders
of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by our Board out of funds legally available.
We have not paid any dividends since our inception, and we presently anticipate that all earnings, if any, will be retained for development
of our business. Any future disposition of dividends will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend upon, among other things,
our future earnings, operating and financial condition, capital requirements, and other factors.
Holders
of our Common Stock have no preemptive rights or other subscription rights, conversion rights, redemption or sinking fund provisions.
Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets
legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities.
Warrants
and Pre-Funded Warrants
The Warrants and Pre-Funded
Warrants will be issued in accordance with a warrant agency agreement to be entered into between us and Nevada Agency and Transfer Company.
The
following summary of certain terms and provisions of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants offered hereby and such warrant agency agreement
is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the form of Warrant, form of Pre-Funded Warrant
and form of such agreement, each of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Prospective
investors should carefully review the terms and provisions set forth in the form of Warrant, form of Pre-Funded Warrant and such warrant
agency agreement.
Duration
and Exercise Price
Each Warrant offered hereby will have an initial
exercise price per share equal to $0.371 per share. Each Pre-Funded Warrant offered hereby will have an initial exercise price per share
equal to $0.001 per share. The Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants will be immediately exercisable by paying the aggregate exercise price
for the shares of Common Stock being exercised or exercised on a cashless basis after the initial exercise date for a net number of shares
of Common Stock, as provided in the formula in the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable. The Warrants will expire on the fifth
anniversary of their initial exercise date and the Pre-Funded Warrants will be exercisable until exercised in full. The exercise price
and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants are subject to appropriate adjustment
in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our Common Stock and the exercise price. In
addition, on the date on which the Company next effects a reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of Common Stock in connection
with the Special Meeting, the exercise price of the Warrants will be reset to the lesser of (i) the exercise price then in effect after
taking into account and adjusting for such reverse stock split and (ii) the closing per share price of the Common Stock immediately prior
to the effective date of such reverse stock split, taking into account and adjusting for such split. The Warrants will be issued separately
from the shares of Common Stock included in the Units offered hereby and the Pre-Funded Warrants included in the Pre-Funded Units offered
hereby, as applicable, and each of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants may be transferred separately immediately thereafter. A Warrant
to purchase one and one-half (1.5) shares of our Common Stock will be issued for every one (1) share of Common Stock included in each
Unit purchased in this offering and for every one (1) Pre-Funded Warrant included in each Pre-Funded Unit purchased in this offering.
Exercisability
The
Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering a duly executed
exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our Common Stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the
case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Warrant
or Pre-Funded Warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% (or at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the outstanding
Common Stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may
increase the amount of ownership of outstanding stock after exercising the holder’s Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants. No fractional
shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Warrant or Pre-Funded Warrant. In lieu of fractional shares,
we will, at our election, either pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price or
round up to the next whole share.
Cashless
Exercise
If,
at the time a holder exercises its Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrant, a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of
Common Stock underlying the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable, under the Securities Act is not then effective or available,
then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise
price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of Common Stock
determined according to a formula set forth in the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants.
Fundamental
Transaction
In
the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants and generally including any reorganization,
recapitalization or reclassification of our Common Stock, the sale, transfer 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 our outstanding Common
Stock, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by our outstanding Common Stock, the
holders of the Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable, will be entitled to receive upon exercise of such Warrants and Pre-Funded
Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised such Warrants
and Pre-Funded Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of such a fundamental
transaction, the holders will have the option, which may be exercised within 30 days after the consummation of the fundamental transaction,
to require the company or the successor entity purchase such Warrant or Pre-Funded Warrant from the holder by paying to the holder an
amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined in such Warrant or Pre-Funded Warrant) of the remaining unexercised portion
of such Warrant or Pre-Funded Warrant on the date of the consummation of such transaction. However, if such fundamental transaction is
not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Board, the holder will only be entitled to receive from the Company
or any successor entity, as of the date of consummation of such fundamental transaction, the same type or form of consideration (and
in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of such Warrant or Pre-Funded Warrant, that is being offered
and paid to the holders of Common Stock in connection with the fundamental transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of
cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative
forms of consideration in connection with the fundamental transaction.
Transferability
Subject
to applicable laws, a Warrant or Pre-Funded Warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of such Warrant or
Pre-Funded Warrant together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.
Exchange
Listing
There
is no established public trading market for the Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. We do not
intend to list the Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system. Without an active
trading market, the liquidity of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants will be limited.
Warrant Agent; Global Certificate. The
Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants will be issued in registered form under a warrant agent agreement between the Warrant Agent and us. The
Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants will initially be represented only by one or more global warrants deposited with the Warrant Agent, as
custodian on behalf of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., a nominee of DTC,
or as otherwise directed by DTC.
Right
as a Stockholder
Except
as otherwise provided in the Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our Common Stock,
the holders of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our Common Stock, including any
voting rights, until they exercise their Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants.
Amendment
and Waiver
The
Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants may be modified or amended or the provisions thereof waived with the written consent of the Company
and the holders thereof.
Governing
Law.
The Pre-Funded Warrants and the Warrants are governed by New York law.
Anti-Takeover
Provisions
Anti-Takeover
Statute
We
are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which generally prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in any business
combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder,
with the following exceptions:
| ● | before
such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination
or the transaction that 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 began, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock
outstanding, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder, those
shares owned (1) by persons who are directors and also officers and (2) 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 |
| ● | on
or after such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized
at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative
vote of at least 66 2⁄3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested
stockholder. |
In
general, Section 203 defines a “business combination” to include the following:
| ● | any
merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder; |
| ● | any
sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation
involving the interested stockholder; |
| ● | subject
to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation
of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder; |
| ● | any
transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate
share of the stock or any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested
stockholder; or |
| ● | the
receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees,
pledges or other financial benefits by or through the corporation. |
In
general, Section 203 defines an “interested stockholder” as an entity or person who, together with the person’s affiliates
and associates, beneficially owns, or within three years prior to the time of determination of interested stockholder status did own,
15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation.
Anti-Takeover
Effects of Certain Provisions of our Bylaws
Our
bylaws provide that directors may be removed by the stockholders with or without cause upon the vote of a majority of the holders of
Common Stock then entitled to vote. Furthermore, the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the Board or
of the stockholders, and vacancies may only be filled by a majority vote of the directors, including those who may have resigned. Except
as otherwise provided in the bylaws and the Certificate of Incorporation any vacancies or newly created directorships on the Board resulting
from any increase in the authorized number of directors elected by all of the stockholders having the right to vote as a single class
may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.
Our
bylaws also provide that only our chairman of the Board, chief executive officer, president or one or more stockholders holding shares
in the aggregate entitled to cast not less than ten percent of the votes at that meeting may call a special meeting of stockholders.
The
combination of these provisions makes it more difficult for our existing stockholders to replace our Board as well as for another party
to obtain control of us by replacing our Board. Since our Board has the power to retain and discharge our officers, these provisions
could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management. In addition, the authorization
of undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our Board to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that
could impede the success of any attempt to change our control.
These
provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of our Board and its policies and to discourage
coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to reduce our vulnerability to hostile takeovers
and to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others
from making tender offers for our shares and may have the effect of delaying changes in our control or management. As a consequence,
these provisions may also inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our Common Stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover
attempts. We believe that the benefits of these provisions, including increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with
the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure our Company, outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging
takeover proposals, because negotiation of takeover proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Transfer
Agent, Warrant Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our Common
Stock and the Warrant Agent for the Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants is Nevada Agency and Transfer Company, which is located at 50

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO HOLDERS OF
COMMON STOCK, PRE-FUNDED WARRANTS AND WARRANTS
The
following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the Units
and/or Pre-Funded Units (which units or components thereof we sometimes refer to as our “securities” and holders thereof
as “holders”), and the acquisition, ownership, exercise, expiration or disposition of the Warrants, but does not purport
to be a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations relating thereto. This summary is based upon the provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative rulings and judicial
decisions, all as of the date hereof. These authorities may be changed or subject to differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive
effect, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those set forth below. We have not sought and will not
seek any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the
following summary, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will agree with such statements and conclusions.
Because
the shares of Common Stock and the Warrant components of a Unit, and the Pre-Funded Warrant and the Warrant components of a Pre-Funded
Warrant, are generally separable at the option of the holder, the holder of a Unit and/or Pre-Funded Warrant generally should be treated,
for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as the owner of the underlying shares of Common Stock or Pre-Funded Warrant and Warrant components.
As a result, the discussion below with respect to holders of our shares of Common Stock or Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants should also
apply to holders of Units and/or Pre-Funded Warrants (as the deemed owners of the underlying components that constitute the Units and/or
the Pre-Funded Units).
This
summary also does not address the tax considerations arising under the laws of any U.S. state or local or any non-U.S. jurisdiction,
estate or gift tax, the 3.8% Medicare tax on net investment income or any alternative minimum tax consequences. In addition, this discussion
does not address tax considerations applicable to a holder’s particular circumstances or to a holder that may be subject to special
tax rules, including, without limitation:
|
● |
banks, insurance companies
or other financial institutions; |
|
|
|
|
● |
tax-exempt or government
organizations; |
|
|
|
|
● |
brokers or dealers in securities
or currencies; |
|
|
|
|
● |
traders in securities that
elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings; |
|
|
|
|
● |
persons that own, or are
deemed to own, more than five percent of our capital stock; |
|
|
|
|
● |
certain U.S. expatriates,
citizens or former long-term residents of the United States; |
|
|
|
|
● |
persons who hold our shares
of Common Stock or Warrants as a position in a hedging transaction, “straddle,” “conversion transaction,”
synthetic security, other integrated investment, or other risk reduction transaction; |
|
|
|
|
● |
persons who do not hold
our Common Stock or Warrants as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, for investment purposes); |
|
|
|
|
● |
persons deemed to sell
our Common Stock or Warrants under the constructive sale provisions of the Code; |
|
|
|
|
● |
pension plans; |
|
|
|
|
● |
partnerships, or other
entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or investors in any such entities; |
|
|
|
|
● |
persons for whom our stock
constitutes “qualified small business stock” within the meaning of Section 1202 of the Code; |
|
|
|
|
● |
integral parts or controlled
entities of foreign sovereigns; |
|
|
|
|
● |
controlled foreign corporations; |
|
|
|
|
● |
passive foreign investment
companies and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax; or |
|
|
|
|
● |
persons that acquire our
Common Stock or Warrants as compensation for services. |
In
addition, if a partnership, including any entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holds
our securities, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend on the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership,
and certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, partnerships that hold our securities, and partners in such partnerships,
should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership, and disposition
of our securities.
You
are urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws to your particular situation,
as well as any tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our securities arising under the U.S. federal estate or
gift tax rules or under the laws of any U.S. state or local or any non-U.S. or other taxing jurisdiction or under any applicable tax
treaty.
Definition
of a U.S. Holder
For
purposes of this summary, a “U.S. Holder” is any beneficial owner of our securities that is a “U.S. person,”
and is not a partnership, or an entity treated as a partnership or disregarded from its owner, each for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
A U.S. person is any person that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is or is treated as any of the following: (a) a citizen or individual
resident of the United States, (b) a corporation (or other entity or arrangement treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax
purposes) created in, or organized under the laws of, the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (c) an estate
whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or (d) a trust (i) the administration of which
is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more United States persons (within the meaning of Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code) who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) that has otherwise elected
to be treated as a United States person under the Code.
For
purposes of this summary, a “Non-U.S. Holder” is any beneficial owner of our securities that is not a U.S. Holder or a partnership,
or other entity treated as a partnership or disregarded from its owner, each for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Allocation
of Purchase Price and Characterization of a Unit
No
statutory, administrative or judicial authority directly addresses the treatment of a Unit or instruments similar to a Unit for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, and therefore, that treatment is not entirely clear. The acquisition of a Unit or Pre-Funded Unit should
be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as the acquisition of one share of our Common Stock or Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable,
and one Warrant. We intend to treat the acquisition of a Unit and/or Pre-Funded Unit in this manner and, by purchasing a Unit or Pre-Funded
Unit, you must adopt such treatment for tax purposes. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, each holder of a Unit or Pre-Funded Unit
must allocate the purchase price paid by such holder for such Unit or Pre-Funded Unit between the share of our Common Stock or Pre-Funded
Warrant, as applicable, and the Warrant based on the relative fair market value of each at the time of issuance. The price allocated
to each share of our Common Stock or each Pre-Funded Warrant and Warrant should be the shareholder’s tax basis in such share of
our Common Stock or Pre-Funded Warrant and Warrant. Any disposition of a Unit or Pre-Funded Unit should be treated for U.S. federal income
tax purposes as a disposition of a share of our Common Stock or Pre-Funded Warrant, as applicable, and the Warrant comprising the Unit
and Pre-Funded Unit, and the amount realized on the disposition should be allocated between the share of Common Stock or Pre-Funded Warrant,
as applicable, and the Warrant based on their respective relative fair market values. The separation of a share of our Common Stock or
Pre-Funded Warrant and the Warrant constituting a Unit or Pre-Funded Unit, as applicable, should not be a taxable event for U.S. federal
income tax purposes.
The
foregoing treatment of the Unit and Pre-Funded Unit and a holder’s purchase price allocation are not binding on the IRS or the
courts. Because there are no authorities that directly address instruments that are similar to the Units or Pre-Funded Units, no assurance
can be given that the IRS or the courts will agree with the characterization described above or the discussion below. Accordingly, each
prospective investor is urged to consult its own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of an investment in a Unit or Pre-Funded
Unit (including alternative characterizations thereof). The balance of this discussion assumes that the characterization of the Units
and Pre-Funded Units described above is respected for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Income
Tax Treatment of Pre-Funded Warrants
Although
not entirely free from doubt, a Pre-Funded Warrant should be treated as Common Stock for U.S. federal income tax purposes and a holder
of Pre-Funded Warrants therefore should generally be taxed in the same manner as a holder of a share of our Common Stock, as described
below. Accordingly, no gain or loss should be recognized upon the exercise of a Pre-Funded Warrant and, upon exercise, the holding period
of a Pre-Funded Warrant should carry over to the shares of Common Stock received. Similarly, the tax basis of the Pre-Funded Warrant
should carry over to the shares of Common Stock received upon exercise, increased by the exercise price of $0.001 per share. Each prospective
investor is urged to consult its tax advisors regarding the tax risks associated with the acquisition of Pre-Funded Warrants pursuant
to this offering (including potential alternative characterizations). The balance of this discussion generally assumes that the characterization
described above is respected for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the discussion below, to the extent it pertains to shares of our
Common Stock, is generally intended also to pertain to Pre-Funded Warrants.
Tax
Consequences to U.S. Holders
Distributions
on Common Stock
As
discussed above under “Dividend Information – Dividend Policy,” we do not currently expect to make distributions
on our Common Stock. In the event that we do make distributions of cash or other property, distributions paid on Common Stock, other
than certain pro rata distributions of Common Stock, will be treated as a dividend to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated
earnings and profits and will be includible in income by the U.S. Holder and taxable as ordinary income when received. If a distribution
exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be first treated as a tax-free return of the U.S. Holder’s
investment, up to the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Common Stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as a capital gain. Subject
to applicable limitations, dividends paid to certain non-corporate U.S. Holders may be eligible for taxation as “qualified dividend
income” and therefore may be taxable at rates applicable to long-term capital gains. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers
regarding the availability of the reduced tax rate on dividends in their particular circumstances. Dividends received by a corporate
U.S. Holder will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction if the U.S. Holder meets certain holding period and other applicable
requirements.
A
holder of a Pre-Funded Warrant should consult its tax advisor regarding the tax treatment of any distribution with respect to such Pre-Funded
Warrant that is held in abeyance in connection with any applicable beneficial ownership cap.
Constructive
Dividends on Warrants
Under
Section 305 of the Code, an adjustment to the number of shares of Common Stock that will be issued on the exercise of the Warrants, or
an adjustment to the exercise price of the Warrants, may be treated as a constructive distribution to a U.S. Holder of the Warrants if,
and to the extent that, such adjustment has the effect of increasing such U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in our “earnings
and profits” or assets, depending on the circumstances of such adjustment (for example, if such adjustment is to compensate for
a distribution of cash or other property to our stockholders). Adjustments to the exercise price of a Warrant made pursuant to a bona
fide reasonable adjustment formula that has the effect of preventing dilution of the interest of the holders of the Warrants should generally
not result in a constructive distribution. Any constructive distributions would generally be subject to the tax treatment described above
under “Dividends on Common Stock.”
Sale
or Other Disposition of Common Stock
For
U.S. federal income tax purposes, gain or loss realized on the sale or other disposition of Common Stock will be capital gain or loss,
and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder held the Common Stock for more than one year. The amount of the gain or
loss will equal the difference between the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Common Stock disposed of and the amount realized on the
disposition (or, if the shares of Common Stock, Pre-Funded Warrants or Warrants are held as part of Units or Pre-Funded Units, as applicable,
at the time of the disposition, the portion of the amount realized on such disposition that is allocated to the shares of Common Stock,
Pre-Funded Warrants or Warrants based upon the then fair market values of the shares of Common Stock or Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants
included in the Units or Pre-Funded Units, as applicable). Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders will be subject
to reduced tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
Sale
or Other Disposition, Exercise or Expiration of Warrants
For
U.S. federal income tax purposes, gain or loss realized on the sale or other disposition of a Warrant (other than by exercise) will be
capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder held the Warrant for more than one year at the time
of the sale or other disposition. The amount of the gain or loss will equal the difference between the U.S. Holder’s tax basis
in the Warrant disposed of and the amount realized on the disposition.
In
general, a U.S. Holder will not be required to recognize income, gain or loss upon the exercise of a Warrant by payment of the exercise
price, except to the extent of cash paid in lieu of a fractional share. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in a share of Common Stock received
upon exercise will be equal to the sum of (1) the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Warrant and (2) the exercise price of the Warrant.
A U.S. Holder’s holding period in the stock received upon exercise will commence on the day or the day after such U.S. Holder exercises
the Warrant. No discussion is provided herein regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment on the exercise of a Warrant on a cashless
basis, and U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the exercise of a Warrant on a cashless basis.
If
a Warrant expires without being exercised, a U.S. Holder will recognize a capital loss in an amount equal to such U.S. Holder’s
tax basis in the Warrant. This loss will be long-term capital loss if, at the time of the expiration, the U.S. Holder’s holding
period in the Warrant is more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
FOR
NON-U.S. HOLDERS
The
following is a general discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to non-U.S. holders (as defined herein)
with respect to their ownership and disposition of our securities issued pursuant to this offering. All prospective non-U.S. holders
of our securities should consult their tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of the
purchase, ownership and disposition of our securities. In general, a non-U.S. holder means a beneficial owner of our Common Stock (other
than a partnership or an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is not, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes:
| ● | an
individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States; |
| ● | a
corporation, or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States or of any
state thereof or the District of Columbia; |
|
● |
an estate, the income of
which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or |
| ● | a
trust if (1) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration
and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of the trust’s substantial
decisions or (2) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury
Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. |
This
discussion is based on current provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the Code, existing
U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, published administrative pronouncements and rulings of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service,
which we refer to as the IRS, and judicial decisions, all as in effect as of the date of this prospectus. These authorities are subject
to change and to differing interpretation, possibly with retroactive effect. Any change or differing interpretation could alter the tax
consequences to non-U.S. holders described in this prospectus.
We
assume in this discussion that a non-U.S. holder holds shares of our securities as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221
of the Code (generally, for investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant
to a particular non-U.S. holder in light of that non-U.S. holder’s individual circumstances, nor does it address any alternative
minimum, Medicare contribution, estate or gift tax consequences, or any aspects of U.S. state, local or non-U.S. taxes. This discussion
also does not consider any specific facts or circumstances that may apply to a non-U.S. holder and does not address the special tax rules
applicable to particular non-U.S. holders, such as holders that own, or are deemed to own, more than 5% of our capital stock (except
to the extent specifically set forth below), corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, tax-exempt organizations,
banks, financial institutions, insurance companies, brokers, dealers or traders in securities, commodities or currencies, tax-qualified
retirement plans, holders who hold or receive our Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation,
holders holding our Common Stock as part of a hedge, straddle or other risk reduction strategy, conversion transaction or other integrated
investment, holders deemed to sell our Common Stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code, controlled foreign corporations,
passive foreign investment companies and certain former U.S. citizens or former long-term residents.
In
addition, this discussion does not address the tax treatment of partnerships (or entities or arrangements that are treated as partnerships
for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or persons that hold our securities through such partnerships. If a partnership, including any
entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holds our securities, the U.S. federal income tax
treatment of a partner in such partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership.
Such partners and partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition
of our securities.
There
can be no assurance that a court or the IRS will not challenge one or more of the tax consequences described herein, and we have not
obtained, nor do we intend to obtain, a ruling with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a non-U.S. holder of the purchase,
ownership or disposition of our securities.
Distributions
As
discussed in the section entitled “Dividend Policy,” we do not anticipate paying any dividends on our Common Stock
in the foreseeable future. If we make distributions on our Common Stock or on the Warrants (as described above under “Constructive
Dividends on Warrants”), those payments will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent we have current
or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent those distributions exceed
both our current and our accumulated earnings and profits, they will constitute a return of capital and will first reduce a Non-U.S.
Holder’s basis in our Common Stock or the Warrants, as applicable, but not below zero. Any excess will be treated as capital gain
and will be treated as described below under “Gain on Sale or Other Disposition of Common Stock or Warrants.” Any such distributions
would be subject to the discussions below regarding back-up withholding and the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or FATCA.
Subject
to the discussion below on effectively connected income, any dividend paid to a Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to U.S. withholding
tax either at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividend or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.
To receive a reduced treaty rate, a Non-U.S. Holder must provide us or our agent with an IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8 BEN-E or another
appropriate version of IRS Form W-8 (or a successor form), which must be updated periodically, and which, in each case, must certify
qualification for the reduced rate. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under
any applicable income tax treaty.
Dividends
paid to a Non-U.S. Holder that are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United
States and that are not eligible for relief from U.S. (net basis) income tax under an applicable income tax treaty generally are exempt
from the (gross basis) withholding tax described above. To obtain this exemption from withholding tax, the Non-U.S. Holder must provide
the applicable withholding agent with an IRS Form W-8ECI or successor form or other applicable IRS Form W-8 certifying that the dividends
are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Such effectively
connected dividends, if not eligible for relief under a tax treaty, would not be subject to a withholding tax, but would be taxed at
the same graduated rates applicable to U.S. persons, net of certain deductions and credits and if, in addition, the Non-U.S. Holder is
a corporation, may also be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable
income tax treaty).
If
you are eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax pursuant to a tax treaty, you may be able to obtain a refund of any excess amounts
withheld if you timely file an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.
Exercise
or Expiration of Warrants
In
general, a Non-U.S. Holder will not be required to recognize income, gain or loss upon the exercise of a Warrant by payment of the exercise
price, except possibly to the extent of cash paid in lieu of a fractional share. However, no discussion is provided herein regarding
the U.S. federal income tax treatment on the exercise of a Warrant on a cashless basis, and Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their
tax advisors as to the exercise of a Warrant on a cashless basis.
If
a Warrant expires without being exercised, a Non-U.S. Holder that is engaged in a U.S. trade or business to which any income from the
Warrant would be effectively connected or who is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during
the calendar year in which the expiration occurs (and certain other conditions are met) will recognize a capital loss in an amount equal
to such Non-U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Warrant. The amount paid to purchase our Common Stock and Warrants will be apportioned
between them in proportion to the respective fair market values of the Common Stock and Warrants, and the apportioned amount will be
the tax basis of the Common Stock and Warrants respectively. The fair market value of our Common Stock for this purpose will generally
be its trading value immediately after issuance.
Gain
on Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Our Common Stock or Warrants
Subject
to the discussion below regarding backup withholding and FATCA, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be required to pay U.S. federal
income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of our Common Stock or the Warrants unless:
| ● | the
gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business
within the United States and not eligible for relief under an applicable income tax treaty,
in which case the Non-U.S. Holder will be required to pay tax on the net gain derived from
the sale under regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates, and for a Non-U.S. Holder
that is a corporation, such Non-U.S. Holder may be subject to the branch profits tax at a
30% rate (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such
effectively connected gain, as adjusted for certain items; |
| ● | the
Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for a period or periods
aggregating 183 days or more during the calendar year in which the sale or disposition occurs
and certain other conditions are met, in which case the Non-U.S. Holder will be required
to pay a flat 30% tax on the gain derived from the sale, which tax may be offset by U.S.
source capital losses (even though the Non-U.S. Holder is not considered a resident of the
United States) (subject to applicable income tax or other treaties); or |
| ● | we
are a “U.S. real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
or a USRPHC, at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition
or the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for our Common Stock or the Warrants. We believe
we are not currently and do not anticipate becoming a USRPHC. However, because the determination
of whether we are a USRPHC depends on the fair market value of our United States real property
interests relative to the fair market value of our other business assets, there can be no
assurance that we will not become a USRPHC in the future. Even if we become a USRPHC, however,
gain arising from the sale or other taxable disposition by a Non-U.S. Holder of our Common
Stock will not be subject to United States federal income tax if (A) in the case of our Common
Stock, (a) shares of our Common Stock are “regularly traded,” as defined by applicable
Treasury Regulations, on an established securities market, such as Nasdaq, and (b) the Non-U.S.
Holder owns or owned, actually and constructively, 5% or less of the shares of our Common
Stock throughout the five-year period ending on the date of the sale or exchange; and (B)
in the case of the Warrants, either (a)(i) shares of our Common Stock are “regularly
traded,” as defined by applicable Treasury Regulations, on an established securities
market, such as Nasdaq, (ii) the Warrants are not considered regularly traded on an established
securities market and (iii) the Non-U.S. Holder does not own, actually or constructively,
Warrants with a fair market value greater than the fair market value of 5% of the shares
of our Common Stock, determined as of the date that such Non-U.S. Holder acquired its Warrants,
or (b)(i) the Warrants are considered regularly traded on an established securities market,
and (ii) the Non-U.S. Holder owns or owned, actually and constructively, 5% or less of the
Warrants throughout the five-year period ending on the date of the sale or exchange. The
Warrants are not expected to be regularly traded on an established securities market. If
the foregoing exception does not apply, and we are a USRPHC, such Non-U.S. Holder’s
proceeds received on the disposition of shares will generally be subject to withholding at
a rate of 15% and such Non-U.S. Holder will generally be taxed on any gain in the same manner
as gain that is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, except
that the branch profits tax generally will not apply. |
Backup
Withholding and Information Reporting
Information
returns may be filed with the IRS in connection with distributions on our Common Stock or constructive dividends on the Warrants, and
the proceeds of a sale or other disposition of the Common Stock or the Warrants. A non-exempt U.S. Holder may be subject to U.S. backup
withholding on these payments if it fails to provide its taxpayer identification number to the withholding agent and comply with certification
procedures or otherwise establish an exemption from backup withholding.
A
Non-U.S. Holder may be subject to U.S. information reporting and backup withholding on these payments unless the Non-U.S. Holder complies
with certification procedures to establish that it is not a U.S. person (within the meaning of the Code). The certification requirements
generally will be satisfied if the Non-U.S. Holder provides the applicable withholding agent with a statement on the applicable IRS Form
W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or suitable substitute or successor form), together with all appropriate attachments, signed under penalties
of perjury, stating, among other things, that such Non-U.S. Holder is not a U.S. Person. Applicable Treasury Regulations provide alternative
methods for satisfying this requirement. In addition, the amount of distributions on common stock or constructive dividends on common
stock paid to a Non-U.S. Holder, and the amount of any U.S. federal tax withheld therefrom, must be reported annually to the IRS and
the holder. This information may be made available by the IRS under the provisions of an applicable tax treaty or agreement to the tax
authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides.
Payment
of the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of the Common Stock or the Warrants to or through a non-U.S. office of a U.S. broker
or of a non-U.S. broker with certain specified U.S. connections generally will be subject to information reporting requirements, but
not backup withholding, unless the Non-U.S. Holder certifies under penalties of perjury that it is not a U.S. person or an exemption
otherwise applies. Payments of the proceeds of a sale or other disposition of the Common Stock or the Warrants to or through a U.S. office
of a broker generally will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding, unless the Non-U.S. Holder certifies under penalties
of perjury that it is not a U.S. person or otherwise establishes an exemption.
Backup
withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment generally will be allowed as a credit against
the holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the holder to a refund, provided that the required information is
timely furnished to the IRS.
Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act
FATCA
imposes withholding tax on certain types of payments made to foreign financial institutions and certain other non-U.S. entities. The
legislation imposes a 30% withholding tax on dividends on, or, subject to the discussion of certain proposed Treasury Regulations below,
gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, our Common Stock or the Warrants paid to a “foreign financial institution”
or to certain “non-financial foreign entities” (each as defined in the Code), unless (i) the foreign financial institution
undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations, (ii) the non-financial foreign entity either certifies it does not have any “substantial
United States owners” (as defined in the Code) or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial United States owner,
or (iii) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. If
the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements in (i) above, it must enter into
an agreement with the U.S. Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by “specified United
States persons” or “United States-owned foreign entities” (each as defined in the Code), annually report certain information
about such accounts, and withhold 30% on payments to account holders whose actions prevent it from complying with these reporting and
other requirements. If the country in which a payee is resident has entered into an “intergovernmental agreement” with the
United States regarding FATCA, that agreement may permit the payee to report to that country rather than to the U.S. Department of the
Treasury. The U.S. Treasury recently released proposed Treasury Regulations which, if finalized in their present form, would eliminate
the federal withholding tax of 30% applicable to the gross proceeds of a sale or other disposition of our Common Stock or the Warrants.
In its preamble to such proposed Treasury Regulations, the U.S. Treasury stated that taxpayers may generally rely on the proposed regulations
until final regulations are issued. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible impact of these
rules on their investment in our Common Stock or the Warrants, and the possible impact of these rules on the entities through which they
hold our Common Stock or the Warrants, including, without limitation, the process and deadlines for meeting the applicable requirements
to prevent the imposition of this 30% withholding tax under FATCA.
THE
PRECEDING DISCUSSION IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CONSULT ITS TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE PARTICULAR
U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, HOLDING AND DISPOSING OF OUR COMMON STOCK, PRE-FUNDED WARRANTS
AND WARRANTS, INCLUDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY PROPOSED CHANGE IN APPLICABLE LAWS.
UNDERWRITING
Maxim
Group LLC is acting as the sole book-running manager and representative of the underwriters in this offering. We and the representative
have entered into an underwriting agreement with respect to the Units and Pre-Funded Units being offered. In connection with this offering
and subject to certain terms and conditions, the underwriters named below have agreed to purchase, and we have agreed to sell, all of
the Units and Pre-Funded Units in this offering to the underwriters.
Underwriter | |
Number
of Units | | |
Number
of Pre-Funded Units | |
Maxim Group LLC | |
| 10,585,000 | | |
| 3,440,000 | |
Total | |
| 10,585,000 | | |
| 3,440,000 | |
The
underwriters have agreed to purchase all such Units and Pre-Funded Units other than those covered by the over-allotment option to purchase
additional securities described below, if it purchases any such securities, and the underwriters’ obligations will be several,
which means that each underwriter will be required to purchase a specific number of Units and Pre-Funded Units, but is not responsible
for the commitment of any other underwriter to purchase any securities. The obligations of the underwriters may be terminated upon the
occurrence of certain events to be specified in the underwriting agreement. Furthermore, pursuant to the underwriting agreement, the
underwriters’ obligations are subject to customary conditions and representations and warranties contained in the underwriting
agreement, such as receipt by the underwriters of officers’ certificates and legal opinions.
The
underwriters are offering the Units and Pre-Funded Units, subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, subject
to approval of legal matters by the representative’s counsel and other conditions specified in the underwriting agreement. The
underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.
Option
to Purchase Additional Securities
We have granted the underwriter an option to purchase
from us, at the public offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, up to 2,103,750 additional shares of Common
Stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants, and/or up to an additional 2,103,750 Warrants exercisable for up to 3,155,625 shares of Common
Stock within 45 days from the date of this prospectus. The underwriter may exercise the option with respect to Common Stock
only, Pre-Funded Warrants only, Warrants only, or any combination thereof. The purchase price to be paid per share of Common Stock
will be equal to the public offering price of one Unit (less the purchase price allocated to the Warrants, $0.01 per Warrant), less the
underwriting discounts and commissions. The purchase price to be paid per Pre-Funded Warrant will be equal to the public offering price
of one Pre-Funded Unit (less the $0.01 purchase price per Warrant), less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The purchase price
to be paid per Warrant will be $0.01. If the underwriter exercises the option in full for Common Stock only or for Pre-Funded Warrants
only, the total underwriting discounts and commissions payable in either case will be approximately $0.4 million, and the total proceeds
to us, before expenses, will be approximately $5.6 million. If the underwriter exercises the option for Warrants only, the total underwriting
discounts and commissions payable will be approximately $1,473 and the total additional proceeds to us, before expenses, will be approximately
$19,564.
Indemnification
We
have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and liabilities
arising from breaches of representations and warranties contained in the underwriting agreement, or to contribute to payments that the
underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.
Determination
of Offering Price
The
public offering price of the Units and Pre-Funded Units has been determined by negotiations between us and the underwriters; among the
factors considered in determining such public offering price are our historical performance and capital structure, prevailing market
conditions, and overall assessment of our business. There is no established trading market for the Units, Pre-Funded Units, Pre-Funded
Warrants or Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply for the listing of such securities
on any national securities exchange or other trading market. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of such securities will
be limited.
Underwriter
Compensation
We
have agreed to sell the Units to the underwriters at the public offering price of $0.371 per Unit and to sell the Pre-Funded Units to
the underwriters at the public offering price of $0.37 per Pre-Funded Unit, which represents the public offering price of the Units and
Pre-Funded Units set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, less the applicable seven percent (7.0%) underwriting discount. In the
event any proceeds are received by the Company in the offering from investors identified and introduced by the Company, then the underwriting
fee shall be reduced to three-and-a-half percent (3.5%) of the gross proceeds for those investors.
We
have also agreed to reimburse the underwriters for accountable legal expenses incurred by it in connection with this transaction in the
amount of $100,000. We estimate that the total expenses of the offering payable by us, excluding the total underwriting discount, will
be approximately $400,000.
Discount,
Commissions and Expenses
The underwriters have advised us that they propose
to offer the Units and the Pre-Funded Units at the public offering prices set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to certain
dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of $0.012985. After this offering, the public offering prices and concession to
dealers may be changed by the representative. No such change shall change the amount of proceeds to be received by us as set forth on
the cover page of this prospectus. The Units and Pre-Funded Units are offered by the underwriters as stated herein, subject to receipt
and acceptance by them and subject to their right to reject any order in whole or in part. The underwriters have informed us that they
do not intend to confirm sales to any accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority.
The following table summarizes the underwriting
discount we will pay to the underwriters. These estimated amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the over-allotment
option.

Lock-Up
Agreements and Trading Restrictions
We,
our executive officers and directors have agreed to a 180-day “lock-up” from the pricing of this offering of shares of common
stock that they beneficially own, including the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of currently outstanding convertible securities
and options and options which may be issued. This means that, for a period of 180 days following such date, such persons may not offer,
sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of these securities without the prior written consent of the representative.
The
representative has no present intention to waive or shorten the lock-up period; however, the terms of the lock-up agreements may be waived
at its discretion. In determining whether to waive the terms of the lockup agreements, the representative may base its decision on its
assessment of the relative strengths of the securities markets and companies similar to ours in general, and the trading pattern of,
and demand for, our securities in general.
Additionally,
we expect certain investors in this offering to agree with the underwriter to enter into a voting agreement whereby each such investor
will agree to vote all shares of Common Stock they beneficially own on the closing date of this offering, including the shares of Common
Stock purchased by them in this offering, with respect to any proposals presented to the stockholders of the Company at the Company’s
next stockholders meeting, which is expected to be held on or around February 15, 2023; provided, however, that such requirement
will not require such investor to vote its shares of Common Stock for or against any particular proposal or proposals, whether or not
such proposal or proposals are recommended by our Board.
Stabilization
The
rules of the SEC generally prohibit the underwriters from trading in our securities on the open market during this offering. However,
the underwriters are allowed to engage in some open market transactions and other activities during this offering that may cause the
market price of our securities to be above or below that which would otherwise prevail in the open market. These activities may include
stabilization, short sales and over-allotments, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids.
| ● | Stabilizing
transactions consist of bids or purchases made by the representative for the purpose of preventing
or slowing a decline in the market price of our securities while this offering is in progress. |
| ● | Short
sales and over-allotments occur when the representative sells more of our shares of common
stock than it purchases from us in this offering. To cover the resulting short position,
the representative may exercise the over-allotment option described above or may engage in
syndicate covering transactions. There is no contractual limit on the size of any syndicate
covering transaction. The representative will make available a prospectus in connection with
any such short sales. Purchasers of shares sold short by the representative are entitled
to the same remedies under the federal securities laws as any other purchaser of shares covered
by the registration statement. |
| ● | Syndicate
covering transactions are bids for or purchases of our securities on the open market by the
representative in order to reduce a short position. |
| ● | Penalty
bids permit the representative to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when
the shares of Common Stock originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate
covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. |
If
the underwriters commence these activities, they may discontinue them at any time without notice. The underwriters will carry out any
such transactions on Nasdaq.
Listing
Our
Common Stock is listed on Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “LGMK.”
Electronic
Distribution
A
prospectus in electronic format may be made available on websites or through other online services maintained by the underwriters of
this offering, or by their affiliates. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on any underwriters’ website
and any information contained in any other website maintained by an underwriter is not part of this prospectus or the registration statement
of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or the representative in its capacity as an underwriter.
Other
Relationships
The
representative and its affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings
in the ordinary course of business with us or our affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions
for these transactions. In the course of its businesses, the representative and its affiliates may actively trade our securities or loans
for its own account or for the accounts of customers, and, accordingly, the representative and its affiliates may at any time hold long
or short positions in such securities or loans.
Except
for services provided in connection with this offering, and except as set forth in this section, the representative has not provided
any investment banking or other financial services during the 180-day period preceding the date of this prospectus and we do not expect
to retain the representative to perform any investment banking or other financial services for at least 90 days after the date of this
prospectus.
Selling
Restrictions
No
action has been taken in any jurisdiction (except in the United States) that would permit a public offering of our Units and Pre-Funded
