This summary may not contain all the information that may be important to you, and we urge you to read this prospectus carefully, including the documents incorporated by reference, before deciding to invest in the securities.

Business Overview

Our mission is to power women to feel their best every day.

Since our founding in November 2009, we have built the world’s first shared designer closet with thousands of styles by hundreds of brand partners. We give customers access to our “Unlimited Closet” through our subscription offering (“Subscription”) or the ability to rent a-la-carte through our reserve offering (“Reserve”). We also give our subscribers and customers the ability to buy our products through our Resale offering. Our “Closet in the Cloud” offers a wide assortment of items for every occasion, from evening wear and accessories to ready-to-wear, workwear, denim, casual, maternity, outerwear, blouses, knitwear, loungewear, jewelry, handbags, activewear and ski wear. We have served approximately 3 million lifetime customers across all of our offerings, and we had 185,102 total subscribers (active and paused) as of July 31, 2025. We had 146,373 active subscribers as of July 31, 2025. For each of the six months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, 89% of our total revenue was generated by subscribers, while they were active or paused.

We have created a two-sided discovery engine: customers find new brands they love and brand partners find new customers they need. For customers, we unlock freedom of self-expression through access to our “Unlimited Closet” that has a constantly rotating supply of styles for all occasions, seasons, moods and price points. This leads to deep engagement with our platform as customers discover new brands they love. Brand partners are able to tap into our large, engaged community to discover new customers and get unparalleled data insights. All of this helps them grow and run their businesses and encourages them to partner more closely with us over time.

When our customers use Rent the Runway, they experience the magic of accessing an “Unlimited Closet” while saving money and time and reducing clothing waste. We deliver significant financial value to customers, with our average subscriber wearing clothes worth more than 26 times what she pays for a monthly RTR subscription on an annualized basis (more than $49,000 in designer retail value in fiscal year 2024).

Our evolving selection of products is enabled by our designer brand partnerships. We source virtually all of our products directly from or in partnership with our brand partners that include many of the most renowned and relevant names in the fashion industry. The nature of our customer value proposition means our customers are typically younger and/or different from other audiences our brands are exposed to. According to our June 2021 Rent the Runway Brand Survey, approximately 91% of our brand partners work with us because we introduce them to new, desirable customers and deepen awareness of their brands. Over the last 15 years, we have fostered strong relationships with our brand partners and have experienced limited voluntary attrition. Our Closet in the Cloud connects our deeply engaged customers and our differentiated brand partners on a powerful platform built around our brand, data, logistics and technology advantages.

•· Brand Partner Advantage: Our assortment contains thousands of new, current season styles that luxury competitors simultaneously carry—-all available for Subscription, Reserve, and/or Resale at much lower prices. We believe our engaged and loyal customer base paired with the data that we offer to our brand partners makes us an essential destination for many of the world’s most important brands. Over time, our commercial relationships with our brand partners have evolved towards more capital efficient forms of rental product acquisition.

•· Data Advantage: We capture a vast amount of unique, actionable data on our customers and products. We leverage this data to create benefits for our customers (deep personalization of styles and fit), brand partners (understanding of customer demand patterns and garment lifecycle) and our business (higher subscriber lifetime value and better product return on investment).

• Technology and Logistics Advantage: We have developed a proprietary operating system that pairs proprietary software with differentiated infrastructure and hardware. Our expertise in vertically integrated just-in-time reverse logistics and garment science allows us to achieve multi-year monetization on our garments. We have also built a custom platform that supports all of our consumer-facing offerings on our website and app.

~~Settlement~~Risks Relating to the Recapitalization Transactions Generally

On October 28, 2025, we closed the Recapitalization Transactions to enhance our financial position and financial flexibility by significantly reducing our existing indebtedness.

If we fail to realize the ~~book-entry~~anticipated ~~facilities~~benefits of ~~DTC.~~the Recapitalization Transactions, or if those benefits take longer to realize than expected, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

~~Subscription~~Although ~~Agent~~the Board has been restructured with the appointments of Teri Bariquit, Peter Comisar, Dhiren Fonseca, Damian Giangiacomo, and Daniel Rosensweig, and additional changes to the Audit Committee and the designation of Mr. Fonseca as Executive Chair, this transition may cause temporary uncertainty and disruption. Additionally, the Investor Group has indicated that it is continuing to use commercially reasonable efforts to identify and designate a third Investor Director to the Board, which could take place in the near future.

For more information on the Board transition, see “Summary – Recent Developments.”

~~Risk~~In ~~Factors~~connection with the Recapitalization Transactions, we entered into a new credit agreement, which includes covenants that could restrict our operations or our ability to pursue growth strategies and initiatives, and failure to comply with these covenants could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

~~You~~Upon ~~should~~the ~~carefully~~closing ~~consider all~~ of the ~~information~~Recapitalization ~~contained in this prospectus and the information incorporated by reference herein. In particular~~Transactions, we ~~urge~~entered ~~you~~into an toamended ~~carefully~~and ~~consider~~restated ~~the~~credit ~~information~~agreement ~~set~~(the ~~forth under~~ “~~Risk~~New ~~Factors~~Credit Agreement”), ~~beginning~~by ~~on page 8 of this prospectus~~ and ~~under~~among ~~“Risk~~Rent ~~Factors”~~the ~~in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q~~Runway, ~~filed~~as ~~with the SEC on September 12~~borrower, ~~2025,~~CHS ~~which is incorporated by reference herein.~~(US) Management

~~TABLE~~LLC, OFas ~~CONTENTS~~administrative agent (“Agent”), and the Investor Group, as lenders. The New Credit Agreement amended and restated our prior credit agreement, dated as of July 23, 2018, by and among Rent the Runway, as borrower, Lender, as a lender, and CHS (US) Management LLC (as successor-in-interest to Double Helix Pte Ltd.), as administrative agent (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to entering to the New Credit Agreement, the “Prior Credit Agreement”). The New Credit Agreement contains negative covenants that limit our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions, amend our material agreements, make investments, incur liens, make negative pledges, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. Our obligation to comply with such covenants could decrease our operating flexibility and our ability to achieve our operating objectives, which could have an adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

~~SUMMARY~~Further, ~~SELECTED~~in ~~HISTORICAL~~the ~~FINANCIAL~~past ~~INFORMATION~~we have sought waivers and/or concessions from our Lender to ensure our continued compliance with certain covenants under our Prior Credit Agreement, and we may in the future be unable to comply with the covenants under the New Credit Agreement. If we were unable to comply with our covenants and successfully negotiate with the Investor Group for a waiver or dispensation of such covenants under the New Credit Agreement, Agent would have the right to accelerate repayment of all outstanding obligations under the New Credit Agreement, which would become immediately due and payable, and exercise all other rights and remedies available under the New Credit Agreement. While our Lender has previously granted waivers or entered into amendments to the Prior Credit Agreement to avoid certain events of default, there can be no assurance that the Investor Group will be willing to do so in the future. In addition, the rights of the Investor Group under the New Credit Agreement are transferable and assignable, and any transferee may not be willing to grant such waivers or enter into such amendments, or have interests that align with us and our stockholders. Therefore, any failure to comply with the covenants under the New Credit Agreement and negotiate with the Investor Group could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The failure to meet continuing compliance standards subjects our Class A Common Stock to a possible delisting. A delisting of our Class A Common Stock would have an adverse effect on the market liquidity of our Class A Common Stock and, as a result, the market price for our Class A Common Stock could become more volatile. Further, a delisting also could make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital.

The forward-looking statements in this prospectus are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the important factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended July 31, 2025, and those identified under “Risk Factors” in any subsequent reports that we file with the SEC. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus are based upon information available to us as of the date of this prospectus, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

You should read this prospectus with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and achievements may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.

Risks Relating to the Rights Offering

The subscription price determined for this offering is not necessarily an indication of the fair value of our Class A Common Stock.

The subscription price was determined in connection with the negotiation of the Exchange Agreement and the Backstop Agreement and represents a 20% discount to the average volume weighted average price of the Class A Common Stock over the 30-day trading period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Exchange Agreement. The subscription price does not necessarily bear any relationship to the book value of our assets or our past operations, cash flows, losses, financial condition, net worth or any other established criteria used to value securities. As a result, you should not consider the subscription price to be an indication of the fair value of the Class A Common Stock to be offered in this offering.

The Term Loan Conversion will result in significant dilution to our stockholders, and stockholders who do not fully exercise their rights in this offering will have their interest further diluted.

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Lender agreed to contribute approximately $223.1 million (as of the end of our second fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2025, which excludes our unamortized debt premium and includes accrued but unpaid cash interest) in outstanding indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement to us in exchange for newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock, equal to 86% of our outstanding Common Stock as of the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions (after giving effect to the Conversions, but before giving effect to this offering and the increased share reserve under the Amended Plan), and our existing stockholders will own the remaining 14% of our outstanding Common Stock as of the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions. As a result, the completion of the Term Loan Conversion will result in significant dilution to our stockholders.

This offering will result in the issuance of an additional 3,063,725 shares of our Class A Common Stock. If you choose not to fully exercise your rights prior to the expiration of this offering, your proportionate voting interest will be reduced and your relative ownership interest in us will be further diluted. Rights holders who do not exercise or sell their rights prior to the Expiration Date will lose any value represented by their rights.

We have entered into the Backstop Agreement with the Investor Group, pursuant to which the Investor Group has agreed to purchase from us, at a price per share equal to the subscription price, all unsubscribed shares of Class A Common Stock in this offering for cash, such that the gross proceeds of this offering would be $12.5 million. If no rights holders were to exercise their rights in this offering, the transactions contemplated by the Backstop Agreement would result in the issuance of 3,063,725 shares of our Class A Common Stock to the Investor Group, which would increase the Investor Group’s ownership percentage to over 86% of our outstanding Common Stock as of the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions (after giving effect to the Conversions, but before giving effect to the Rights Offering and the increased share reserve under the Amended Plan).

You may not revoke your subscription exercise and could be committed to buying shares of Class A Common Stock above the prevailing market price.

Once you exercise your rights, you may not revoke the exercise. The public trading market price of our Class A Common Stock may decline before the rights expire. If you exercise your rights, you will have committed to buying shares of our Class A Common Stock potentially at a price above the prevailing market price. Additionally, you may be unable to sell your shares of Class A Common Stock at a price equal to or greater than the subscription price you paid for such shares of Class A Common Stock.

We may amend the terms of or terminate this offering at any time prior to the Expiration Date, and neither we nor the Subscription Agent will have any obligation to you except to return your exercise payments.

We may, in our sole discretion, amend the terms of this offering, decide not to continue with this offering or terminate this offering prior to the Expiration Date. If this offering is terminated, the Subscription Agent will return all exercise payments as soon as possible, without interest or deduction.

~~TABLE~~MARKET OFINFORMATION ~~CONTENTS~~FOR COMMON STOCK AND DIVIDEND POLICY

~~You~~Market ~~must act promptly and follow instructions carefully if you want to exercise your rights.~~ Information

~~Eligible~~Our ~~participants and, if applicable, brokers, banks or other nominees acting on their behalf, who desire to purchase~~ Class A Common Stock in this offering must act promptly to ensure that all required rights certificates are actually received prior to the Expiration Date and that all payments are actually received prior to the payment deadline by the Subscription Agent. The time period to exercise rights is ~~limited.~~traded If you or your broker fails to complete and sign the required rights certificates, sends an incorrect payment amount or otherwise fails to follow the procedures that apply to the exercise of your rights, we may, depending on ~~the~~Nasdaq ~~circumstances, reject your exercise of rights or accept it only to~~ under the ~~extent~~symbol ~~of the payment received~~“RENT. Neither we nor the Subscription Agent will correct, or attempt to correct, an incomplete or incorrect rights certificate or payment or contact you concerning whether a broker, bank or other nominee holds rights on your behalf.

Significant sales of rights and our Class A Common Stock, or the perception that significant sales may occur in the future, could adversely affect the market price for the rights and our Class A Common Stock.

The sale of substantial amounts of the subscription rights and our Class A Common Stock could adversely affect the price of these securities. Sales of substantial amounts of our rights and our Class A Common Stock in the public market, and the availability of shares of our Class A Common Stock for future sale, including 3,063,725 shares of our Class A Common Stock to be issued in this offering, could cause the market price of our Class A Common Stock to remain low for a substantial amount of time. If a significant percentage of such available shares of Class A Common Stock and rights were attempted to be sold within a short period of time, the market for shares of our Class A Common Stock and the rights would be adversely affected. Even if a substantial number of sales do not occur within a short period of time, the mere perception that such sales would occur could have a negative impact on the market for our Class A Common Stock and the rights and our ability to raise additional capital. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, which takes effect upon the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, we will be required to prepare and file with the SEC within 20 days of such closing, a shelf registration statement registering the resale of Class A Common Stock held by Ms. Hyman and the Investor Group. Any disposition by Ms. Hyman or the Investor Group, or any of our substantial stockholders, of our Class A Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such dispositions could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our Class A Common Stock.

Because management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering, you may not agree with how we use the proceeds, and we may not invest the proceeds successfully.

We currently anticipate that we will use the net proceeds of this offering for general corporate purposes. Our management may allocate the proceeds for these purposes as it deems appropriate. In addition, market factors may require our management to allocate portions of the proceeds for other purposes. Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of proceeds from this offering, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether we are using the proceeds appropriately. It is possible that we may invest the proceeds in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us.

~~TABLE~~PRINCIPAL ~~OF CONTENTS~~SECURITYHOLDERS

~~Risks~~The ~~Relating~~following table sets forth certain information with respect to our beneficial ownership of our Class A and Class B Common Stock as of November 14, 2025, referred to in the ~~Recapitalization~~table ~~Transactions~~below ~~Generally~~as the “Beneficial Ownership Date,” by:

Ifeach ~~our~~beneficial ~~stockholders~~owner ~~fail~~of to5% ~~approve~~or ~~the~~more of ~~Required Proposals at~~ the ~~Special~~outstanding ~~Meeting~~shares to consummate the Recapitalization Transactions, the Exchange Agreement will be terminated in accordance with its terms, we will not be able to enter into the New Credit Agreement, and we may default on our Existing Credit Agreement, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of ~~operations and~~ our ~~ability~~Class toA ~~continue~~Common ~~to operate as a going concern.~~ Stock;

Weeach ~~have incurred a substantial amount~~ of ~~indebtedness to fund~~ our ~~operations,~~directors ~~which requires significant interest payments. As of July 31, 2025, we had $323.1 million (which excludes our unamortized debt premium~~ and includes accrued but unpaid cash interest) in outstanding long-term indebtedness under our Existing Credit Agreement that will mature in October 2026. We do not expect that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations to repay our indebtedness upon maturity or make other scheduled payments. Further, we are required to comply with various covenants under our Existing Credit Agreement, which we have amended from time to time with the cooperation of Lender to ensure our continued compliance with such covenants. Any failure to repay our indebtedness, make scheduled payments or comply with the covenants under our Existing Credit Agreement would constitute an event of default. director nominees;

Weeach entered into the Exchange Agreement to enhance our financial position and financial flexibility by significantly reducing our existing indebtedness, improving our borrowing rate and extending the maturity of our ~~remaining~~named ~~indebtedness.~~executive If our stockholders fail to approve the Required Proposals to consummate the Recapitalization Transactions, we will not be able to enter into the New Credit Agreement, our ability to continue as a going concern will be impaired, officers; and we may default under our Existing Credit Agreement. A default would allow the Agent to accelerate repayment of all obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement and foreclose its liens against substantially all of our assets and take possession and sell such assets to reduce any such obligations. As a result, a default would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to operate as a going concern, and we would likely be unable to avoid filing for bankruptcy protection or have an involuntary bankruptcy case filed against us. Further, if the Recapitalization Transactions are not completed, our currently outstanding debt obligations will mature on October 29, 2026, and as of October 29, 2025, these outstanding debt obligations would be classified as a current liability and we may be unable to continue as a going concern, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Ifall ~~the Required Proposals are approved~~directors, wedirector ~~will~~nominees ~~issue a significant number of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Term Loan Conversion, the Rights Offering~~ and executive ~~the~~officers ~~Backstop~~as ~~Agreement,~~a ~~which will result in immediate and substantial dilution to our stockholders~~group.

Class B Common Stock

In connection with the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, all outstanding shares of our Class B Common Stock were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, such that no shares of Class B Common Stock remain outstanding. Ms. Hyman holds an RSU award relating to 159 shares of Class B Common Stock that is subject to delayed settlement and, following the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, Ms. Hyman is expected to receive a new equity award in exchange for forfeiting all of her outstanding equity awards as of immediately prior to the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, including such RSU award relating to Class B Common Stock.

Each share of our Class B Common Stock entitles its holders to 20 votes per share on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of shares of our Class B Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.

Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock. Except as otherwise provided in our Amended Charter, each share of Class B Common Stock automatically converts into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock upon certain sales or transfers as described in our Amended Charter. In addition, each share of Class B Common Stock converts automatically into one share of Class A Common Stock upon the date that is earlier of (i) the transfer of such share to a person that is not in the same Permitted Ownership Group (as defined in the Amended Charter) as such Permitted Class B Holder (as defined in the Amended Charter), (ii) November 1, 2028 or (iii) with respect to any shares held by any person in a Co-Founder’s Permitted Ownership Group, (A) such time as a Co-Founder is removed or resigns from the Board of Directors, or otherwise ceases to serve as a director on our Board of Directors, (B) such time as a Co-Founder ceases to be either an employee, officer or consultant, or (C) the date that is 12 months after the death or disability of a Co-Founder. Holders of shares of our Class B Common Stock vote together with holders of our Class A Common Stock as a single class on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted to a vote of our stockholders, except as otherwise required by applicable law or the Amended Charter.

~~DESCRIPTION~~Preferred OFStock ~~THE RIGHTS OFFERING~~

~~General~~Under the terms of our Amended Charter, our board of directors is authorized to direct us to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series without stockholder approval. Our board of directors has the discretion to determine the rights, powers, preferences, privileges, qualifications, limitations and restrictions, including without limitation voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred stock.

WeThe ~~are~~purpose ~~distributing,~~of atauthorizing noour ~~charge,~~board of directors to ~~the~~issue ~~holders~~preferred ofstock ~~our~~and ~~Common~~determine ~~Stock~~its ~~transferable~~rights ~~subscription~~and ~~rights~~preferences is to ~~purchase~~eliminate updelays toassociated anwith ~~aggregate~~a stockholder vote on specific issuances.

~~Rights~~Choice ~~holders who fully exercise their rights will be entitled to subscribe for additional shares~~ of ~~our~~Forum Class A Common Stock to the extent that other rights holders do not exercise their rights in full (the “oversubscription privilege”), subject to certain limitations described herein. The oversubscription privilege allows a rights holder to subscribe for additional shares of our Class A Common Stock at the subscription price. If a sufficient number of shares of our Class A Common Stock is unavailable to fully satisfy the oversubscription privilege requests, the available shares of Class A Common Stock will be sold pro rata among rights holders who exercised their oversubscription privilege based on the number of shares of Class A Common Stock each rights holder subscribed for under the basic subscription privilege.

~~Reasons~~Our Amended Charter provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if and only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any state court located within the State of Delaware or, if and only if all such state courts lack subject matter jurisdiction, the federal district court for the ~~Rights~~District ~~Offering~~of Delaware) is the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought on our behalf; (ii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our current or former directors, officers, other employees or stockholder to us or our stockholders; (iii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim arising out of or pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our Amended Charter or our Amended Bylaws (as either may be amended or restated) or as to which the DGCL confers exclusive jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; and (iv) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. This choice of forum provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the Securities Act or any other claim for which the federal courts of the United States have exclusive jurisdiction.

~~This~~Section ~~offering~~22 isof ~~being~~the ~~made~~Securities toAct ~~raise~~creates ~~capital~~concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all claims brought to ~~provide~~enforce usany ~~with~~duty ~~additional~~or ~~liquidity~~liability increated ~~connection~~by ~~with~~the Securities Act or the rules ~~Recapitalization~~and ~~Transactions.~~regulations ~~The~~thereunder ~~completion~~and ofour ~~this~~Amended ~~offering~~Charter isprovides athat, ~~condition~~unless we consent in writing to ~~closing~~the selection of an alternative forum, the ~~Recapitalization~~federal ~~Transactions~~district courts of the United States of America, ~~and~~to wethe ~~expect~~fullest extent permitted by law, are the ~~Recapitalization~~sole ~~Transactions~~and toexclusive forum befor ~~consummated~~resolving ~~within~~any ~~two~~complaint ~~business~~asserting ~~days~~a cause of action arising under the ~~closing~~Securities Act. While the Delaware courts have determined that such choice of ~~this~~forum ~~offering~~provisions are facially valid, a stockholder may nevertheless seek to bring a claim in a venue other than those designated in the exclusive forum provisions. ~~See~~In ~~“Summary—Recent~~such ~~Developments—The~~instance, ~~Recapitalization~~we ~~Transactions”~~would expect to vigorously assert the validity and ~~“Use~~enforceability of the ~~Proceeds.”~~exclusive forum provisions of our Amended Charter, but there can be no assurance that the provisions would be enforced by a court in those other jurisdictions.

~~Certain~~Moreover, ~~Important~~Section ~~Dates~~27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all claims brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder and our Amended Charter provides that the exclusive forum provision does not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act. Accordingly, actions by our stockholders to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder must be brought in federal court.

~~The~~Additionally, ~~following~~our ~~table~~Amended ~~sets~~Charter ~~forth~~provides ~~certain~~that any ~~important~~person ~~dates~~or ~~applicable~~entity holding, owning, or otherwise acquiring any interest in any of our securities shall be deemed to ~~this~~have ~~offering~~notice of and consented ~~the~~to ~~rights.~~these provisions.

The authorized but unissued shares of our common stock and our preferred stock are available for future issuance without stockholder approval, subject to any limitations imposed by the listing standards of Nasdaq. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate finance transactions, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock could discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise or make such an attempt more difficult.

~~Subscription~~Our ~~Price~~Amended Charter and Amended Bylaws provide that any vacant directorships, including newly created directorships, may only be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director and the number of directors constituting the full board of directors is permitted to be set only by a resolution of the board of directors.

Further, our Amended Bylaws provide that only the ~~negotiation~~chairperson of ~~the~~our ~~Exchange~~board ~~Agreement~~of directors or a majority of our board of directors may call special meetings of our stockholders, thus prohibiting a stockholder from calling a special meeting. These provisions could delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or for stockholders controlling a majority of our capital stock to take any action, including the removal of directors.

~~The~~Advance ~~subscription~~Notice ~~price~~Requirements ~~does~~for ~~not~~Stockholder ~~necessarily~~Proposals bear any relationship to the book value of our assets, cash flows, financial condition, net worth or any other established criteria used to value securities. You should not consider the subscription price to be an indication of the fair value of the Class A Common Stock to be offered in this offering. On and ~~after the date of this prospectus, our Class A Common Stock may trade at prices above or below the subscription price.~~ Director Nominations

In addition, our Amended Bylaws provide an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals or nominations to be brought before a meeting of stockholders. In order for any matter to be “properly brought” before a meeting, a stockholder must comply with advance notice and provide us with certain information and otherwise comply with the requirements set forth in our Amended Bylaws. Stockholders at an annual meeting may only consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of our board of directors or by a qualified stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has delivered timely written notice in proper form to our secretary of the stockholder’s intention to bring such business or nomination before the meeting. These provisions could have the effect of delaying stockholder actions that are favored by the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities until the next stockholder meeting.

These advance notice requirements as set forth in our Amended Bylaws do not apply to Lender (to the extent then subject to the Investors Rights Agreement) for so long as that certain Investor Rights Agreement.

~~Effect~~We have opted out of ~~Rights~~Section ~~Offering~~203 onof ~~Existing~~the ~~Stockholders~~DGCL. However, our Amended Charter contains provisions that are similar to Section 203. Specifically, our Amended Charter provides that, subject to certain exceptions, we are not able to engage in a “business combination” with any “interested stockholder” for three years following the date that the person became an interested stockholder, unless certain requirements are met. A “business combination” includes, among other things, a merger or consolidation involving us and the “interested stockholder” or the sale of more than 10% of our assets to an “interested stockholder.” In general, an “interested stockholder” is any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock and any affiliates or associates of such entity or person.

~~The~~Corporate ~~ownership~~Opportunity ~~interests~~Doctrine ~~and voting interests of the existing stockholders who do not exercise their basic subscription rights will be diluted. See “Risk Factors.”~~

~~Subscription~~Our ~~Rights~~Amended Charter provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, we have renounced any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, an Excluded Opportunity. An “Excluded Opportunity” is any matter, transaction or interest that is presented to, or acquired, created or developed by, or which otherwise comes into the possession of, any director who is not an employee of ours or any of our subsidiaries (each, a “Covered Person”), unless such matter, transaction or interest is presented to, or acquired, created or developed by, or otherwise comes into the possession of, a Covered Person expressly and solely in such Covered Person’s capacity as a director.

~~The~~Dissenters’ ~~rights~~Rights ~~entitle~~of ~~holders~~Appraisal ~~to a basic subscription privilege~~ and anPayment ~~oversubscription privilege.~~

~~Basic~~Under ~~Subscription~~the ~~Privilege~~DGCL, with certain exceptions, our stockholders have appraisal rights in connection with a merger or consolidation of Rent the Runway. Pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, stockholders who properly request and perfect appraisal rights in connection with such merger or consolidation would have the right to receive payment of the fair value of their shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery.

~~The~~Stockholders’ ~~rights~~Derivative ~~will~~Actions entitle the holder thereof to a basic subscription privilege. The basic subscription privilege entitles you to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock per rights, upon delivery of the required documents and payment of the subscription price of $4.08 per whole share. You are not required to exercise your basic subscription privilege, in full or in part, unless you wish to also purchase shares of Class A Common Stock under your oversubscription privilege described below, in which case you are required to exercise your basic subscription privilege in full. We will deliver any shares of Class A Common Stock that you purchase pursuant to the basic subscription privilege as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date. All shares that are purchased in this offering will be issued in uncertificated, book-entry form, which means that you will receive a direct registration account statement from our transfer agent reflecting ownership of such shares if you are a holder of record. If you hold your shares in the name of a bank, broker, dealer or other nominee, DTC will credit your nominee with the shares you purchased in this offering.

~~Oversubscription~~Under ~~Privilege~~the DGCL, any of our stockholders may bring an action in our name to procure a judgment in our favor, also known as a derivative action, provided that the stockholder bringing the action is a holder of our shares at the time of the transaction to which the action relates.

In addition to your basic subscription privilege, you may subscribe for additional shares of our Class A Common Stock upon delivery of the required documents and payment of the subscription price of $4.08 per whole share before the Expiration Date. You may only exercise your oversubscription privilege if you exercised your basic subscription privilege in full, including payment of the subscription price therefor, and other holders of rights do not exercise their basic subscription privilege in full. We will deliver any shares of Class A Common Stock that you purchase pursuant to the oversubscription privilege as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date.

Pro Rata Allocation

If there are not enough shares of our Class A Common Stock to satisfy all subscriptions made under the oversubscription privilege, we will allocate the remaining shares of our Class A Common Stock pro rata, after eliminating all fractional shares, among those oversubscribing rights holders. “Pro rata” means in proportion to

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock that you and the other rights holders have purchased by exercising your basic subscription privilege. If there is a pro rata allocation of the remaining shares of our Class A Common Stock and you receive an allocation of a greater number of shares of Class A Common Stock than you subscribed for under your oversubscription privilege, we will allocate to you only the number of shares of Class A Common Stock for which you subscribed. We will allocate the remaining shares of Class A Common Stock among all other holders exercising their oversubscription privileges.

The Investor Group will not be allocated any shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Backstop Agreement until all of the rights holders exercising their oversubscription privileges, which could include the Investor Group, have been allocated the number of additional shares of Class A Common Stock for which they oversubscribed.

Full Exercise of Basic Subscription Privilege

You may exercise your oversubscription privilege only if you exercise your basic subscription privilege in full. To determine if you have fully exercised your basic subscription privilege, we will consider only the basic subscription rights held by you in the same capacity. For example, suppose that you were granted rights for shares of our Common Stock that you own individually and shares of our Common Stock that you own collectively with your spouse. If you wish to exercise your oversubscription privilege with respect to the rights you own individually, but not with respect to the rights you own collectively with your spouse, you only need to fully exercise your basic subscription privilege with respect to your individually owned rights. You do not have to subscribe for any shares of Class A Common Stock under the rights owned collectively with your spouse to exercise your individual oversubscription privilege.

When you complete the portion of your rights certificate to exercise your oversubscription privilege, you will be representing and certifying that you have fully exercised your basic subscription privilege as to shares of our Common Stock that you hold in that capacity. You must exercise your oversubscription privilege at the same time you exercise your basic subscription privilege in full.

Return of Excess Payment

If you exercised your oversubscription privilege and are allocated less than all of the shares of our Class A Common Stock for which you wished to subscribe, your excess payment for shares of Class A Common Stock that were not allocated to you will be returned to you via check, without interest or deduction, as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date. We will deliver or cause the transfer agent to deliver any shares that you purchase as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date and after all pro rata allocations and adjustments have been completed.

Method of Subscription

The rights are evidenced by rights certificates, which may be physical certificates but will more likely be electronic certificates issued through the facilities of DTC. Except as described below under “—Non-U.S. Stockholders,” the rights certificates will be mailed to stockholders as of the Record Date or, if such stockholders’ shares of Common Stock are held by a depository or nominee on his, her or its behalf, to such depository or nominee. Rights may be exercised by completing and signing the rights certificate that accompanies this prospectus together with any required signature guarantees and mailing it in the envelope provided, or otherwise delivering the completed and duly executed rights certificate to the Subscription Agent, together with payment in full for the shares of Class A Common Stock at the subscription price by the Expiration Date and any other supplemental documentation requested, unless delivery of the rights certificate is effected pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures.

Completed rights certificates and related payments must be received by the Subscription Agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on or before the Expiration Date, at the offices of the Subscription Agent at the address set forth below, unless delivery of the rights certificate is effected pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.

Method of Payment

A participating rights holder may send the rights certificate together with payment for the shares of Class A Common Stock subscribed for in this offering to the Subscription Agent based on the subscription price of $4.08 per whole share. Except as described below under “Guaranteed Delivery Procedures,” to be accepted, the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

payment, together with a properly completed and executed rights certificate, must be received by the Subscription Agent at one of the Subscription Agent’s offices set forth below (see “—Delivery of Subscription Materials and Payment”), at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. Do not send rights certificates, notices of guaranteed delivery or payments to us.

All payments by a participating rights holder must be in U.S. dollars only by wire transfer in immediately available funds to “Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, LLC” with reference to the rights holder’s name, or by certified bank or cashier’s check drawn upon a U.S. bank payable to “Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, LLC.” See “—Delivery of Subscription Materials and Payment” for more information on payment methods for the Class A Common Stock. The Subscription Agent will deposit all funds received by it prior to the final payment date into a segregated account pending pro-ration and distribution of the shares of Class A Common Stock.

The method of delivery of rights certificates and payment of the subscription price will be at the election and risk of the participating rights holders, but if sent by mail it is recommended that such certificates and payments be sent by traceable or overnight mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested, and that a sufficient number of days be allowed to ensure delivery to the Subscription Agent and clearance of payment prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.

Whichever of the methods described above is used, issuance of the shares of Class A Common Stock purchased is subject to collection of checks and actual payment.

If a participating rights holder who subscribes for shares of Class A Common Stock does not make payment of any amounts due by the Expiration Date, the Subscription Agent reserves the right to take any or all of the following actions: (i) reallocate the shares of Class A Common Stock to other participating rights holders; (ii) apply any payment actually received by it from the participating rights holder toward the purchase of the greatest whole number of shares of Class A Common Stock which could be acquired by such participating rights holder upon exercise of the right; and (iii) exercise any and all other rights or remedies to which it may be entitled, including the right to set off against payments actually received by it with respect to such subscribed shares of Class A Common Stock.

All questions concerning the timeliness, validity, form and eligibility of any exercise of rights will be determined by us, and such determinations will be final and binding. We, in our sole discretion, may waive any defect or irregularity, or permit a defect or irregularity to be corrected within such time as we may determine, or reject the purported exercise of any right. Subscriptions will not be deemed to have been received or accepted until all irregularities have been waived or cured within such time as we determine in our sole discretion. The Subscription Agent will not be under any duty to give notification of any defect or irregularity in connection with the submission of rights certificates or incur any liability for failure to give such notification.

Participating rights holders will have no right to revoke their subscription after the Subscription Agent’s receipt of their payment for shares of Class A Common Stock.

Missing or Incomplete Information

If you hold your shares of Common Stock in the name of a custodian bank, broker, dealer or other nominee, the nominee will exercise the rights on your behalf in accordance with your instructions. Your nominee may establish a deadline that may be before the Expiration Date that we have established for this offering. If you send a payment that is insufficient to purchase the number of shares of Class A Common Stock you requested, or if the number of shares of Class A Common Stock you requested is not specified in the forms, the payment received will be applied to exercise your rights to the fullest extent possible based on the amount of the payment received, subject to the availability of shares of Class A Common Stock under the oversubscription privilege and the elimination of fractional shares of Class A Common Stock. Any excess subscription payments received by the Subscription Agent will be returned, without interest, as soon as practicable following the Expiration Date.

If you fail to complete and sign the rights certificate or otherwise fail to follow the subscription procedures that apply to the exercise of your rights before the Expiration Date, the Subscription Agent will reject your subscription or accept it to the extent of the payment received. Neither we nor the Subscription Agent undertake any responsibility or action to contact you concerning an incomplete or incorrect subscription form, nor are we under any obligation to correct such forms. We have the sole discretion to determine whether a subscription exercise properly complies with the subscription procedures.

Questions About Exercising Subscription Rights

If you have any questions or require assistance regarding the method of exercising your rights or requests for additional copies of this document, you should contact the Subscription Agent, Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, LLC, at 888-789-8409 or by e-mail at shareholder@broadridge.com.

Calculation of Rights Exercised

If you do not indicate the number of rights being exercised, or do not forward full payment of the total subscription price payment for the number of rights that you indicate are being exercised, (i) the Subscription Agent will have the right to reject and return your subscription for correction or (ii) you will be deemed to have exercised your basic subscription privilege with respect to the maximum number of rights that may be exercised with the aggregate subscription price payment you delivered to the Subscription Agent. If your aggregate subscription price payment is greater than the amount you owe for your subscription, you will be deemed to have exercised your oversubscription privilege to purchase the maximum number of shares of our Class A Common Stock with your overpayment. If we do not apply your full subscription price payment to your purchase of shares of our Class A Common Stock, we or the Subscription Agent will return the excess amount to you via check, without interest or deduction, as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date.

Regulatory Limitation

We will not be required to issue to you shares of our Class A Common Stock pursuant to this offering if, in our opinion, it would be unlawful to do so or you would be required to obtain prior clearance or approval from any state or federal regulatory authorities to own or control such shares if, on the Expiration Date, you have not obtained such clearance or approval. We reserve the right to delay the commencement of this offering in certain states or other jurisdictions if necessary to comply with local laws. We may elect not to offer shares to residents of any state or other jurisdiction whose laws would require a change in this offering in order to carry out this offering in such state or jurisdiction.

All rights issued to a stockholder of record who would, in our opinion, be required to obtain prior clearance or approval from any state, federal or non-U.S. regulatory authority for the ownership or exercise of rights or the ownership of additional shares are null and void and may not be held or exercised by any such holder if, at such time, such holder has not obtained such clearance or approval.

Exercising a Portion of Your Rights

If you subscribe for fewer than all of the shares of our Class A Common Stock represented by your rights certificate, you may receive from the Subscription Agent a new rights certificate representing your unused rights.

If you do not indicate the number of rights being exercised, or if you do not make full payment of the total subscription price payment for the number of rights that you indicate are being exercised, (i) the Subscription Agent will have the right to reject and return your subscription for correction or (ii) you will be deemed to have exercised your right with respect to the maximum number of rights that may be exercised with the aggregate subscription price payment you delivered to the Subscription Agent. If we do not apply your full subscription price payment to the purchase of shares of Class A Common Stock, we or the Subscription Agent will return the excess amount to you via check, without interest or deduction, promptly after the Expiration Date.

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures

If you wish to exercise subscription rights, but you do not have sufficient time to deliver the rights certificate evidencing your subscription rights to the Subscription Agent on or before the Expiration Date, you may exercise your subscription rights by delivering:

• to the Subscription Agent on or before the Expiration Date the payment for each share you elected to purchase pursuant to the exercise of rights in the manner set forth above under “—Method of Subscription”;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

• to the Subscription Agent before the Expiration Date the form entitled “Notice of Guaranteed Delivery”; and

• the properly completed rights certificate evidencing your rights being exercised and the form entitled “Nominee Holder Certification,” if applicable, with any required signatures guaranteed, to the Subscription Agent within one business day following the date you submit your Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.

Your Notice of Guaranteed Delivery must be delivered in substantially the same form provided with the Instructions for Use of Rent the Runway, Inc.’s rights certificate, which will be distributed to you with your rights certificate. Your Notice of Guaranteed Delivery must include a signature guarantee from an eligible institution, acceptable to the Subscription Agent. A form of that guarantee is included with the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.

In your Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, you must provide (i) your name, (ii) the number of rights represented by your rights certificate, the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock for which you are subscribing under your basic subscription privilege and the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock for which you are subscribing under your oversubscription privilege and (iii) your guarantee that you will deliver to the Subscription Agent a rights certificate evidencing the rights you are exercising within one business day following the date the Subscription Agent receives your Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.

You may deliver your Notice of Guaranteed Delivery to the Subscription Agent in the same manner as your rights certificate at the address set forth above under “—Delivery of Subscription Materials and Payment.”

Procedures for DTC Participants

We expect that the exercise of your basic subscription privilege and your oversubscription privilege may be made through the facilities of DTC. If you are a broker, dealer, trustee or a depositary for securities who holds our Common Stock for the account of others as a nominee holder, you may exercise your basic subscription privilege and your oversubscription privilege through DTC’s PSOP Function on the “agents subscription over PTS” procedures and instructing DTC to charge the applicable DTC account for the subscription payment and to deliver such amount to the Subscription Agent. DTC must receive the rights certificate, Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (if applicable), and payment for the new shares before 2:15 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, unless guaranteed delivery procedures are utilized with respect to delivery of your rights certificate.

Fees and Expenses

We are not charging any fee or sales commission to issue rights to you or to issue shares of Class A Common Stock to you if you exercise your rights. If you exercise your rights through the record holders of your shares of Common Stock, you are responsible for paying any commissions, fees, taxes or other expenses your record holder may charge you. We will pay all fees and expenses of the Subscription Agent related to this offering and have also agreed to indemnify the Subscription Agent from liabilities that it may incur in connection with this offering.

No Fractional Shares of Class A Common Stock

All shares of Class A Common Stock will be sold at a purchase price of $4.08 per whole share. We will not issue fractional shares of Class A Common Stock or cash in lieu of fractional shares of Class A Common Stock. Fractional shares of Class A Common Stock resulting from the exercise of the basic subscription and oversubscription privileges will be eliminated by rounding down to the nearest whole share of Class A Common Stock, with such adjustments as may be necessary to ensure that we offer no more than 3,063,725 shares of Class A Common Stock in this offering. In the event that, because of the rounding of fractional shares of Class A Common Stock, this offering would have been subscribed in an amount in excess of 3,063,725 shares of Class A Common Stock, all holders’ shares issued in this offering will be reduced in an equitable manner. Any excess subscription payments received by the Subscription Agent will be returned, without interest, as soon as practicable.

Notice to Beneficial Holders and Nominees

If you are a broker, a trustee or a depositary for securities who holds shares of our Common Stock for the account of others on the Record Date, you should notify the respective beneficial owners of such shares of this

TABLE OF CONTENTS

offering as soon as possible to find out their intentions with respect to exercising their rights. You should obtain instructions from the beneficial owner with respect to their rights, as set forth in the instructions we have provided to you for your distribution to beneficial owners. If the beneficial owner so instructs, you should complete the appropriate rights certificates and submit them to the Subscription Agent with the proper payment. If you hold shares of our Common Stock for the account of more than one beneficial owner, you may exercise the number of rights to which all such beneficial owners in the aggregate otherwise would have been entitled had they been direct record holders of our Common Stock on the Record Date; provided that you, as a nominee record holder, make a proper showing to the Subscription Agent by submitting the form entitled “Nominee Holder Certification” that we will provide to you with your rights offering materials. If you did not receive this form, you should contact the Subscription Agent, Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, LLC, to request a copy.

Beneficial Owners

If you are a beneficial owner of shares of our Common Stock or will receive your rights through a broker, custodian bank or other nominee, we will ask your broker, custodian bank or other nominee to notify you of this offering. If you wish to exercise your rights, you will need to have your broker, custodian bank or other nominee act for you. To indicate your decision with respect to your rights, you should complete and return to your broker, custodian bank or other nominee the form entitled “Beneficial Owner Election Form.” You should receive this form from your broker, custodian bank or other nominee with the other offering materials. If you wish to obtain a separate rights certificate, you should contact the nominee as soon as possible and request that a separate rights certificate be issued to you. You should contact your broker, custodian bank or other nominee if you do not receive this form, but you believe you are entitled to participate in this offering. We are not responsible if you do not receive the form from your broker, custodian bank or nominee or if you receive it without sufficient time to respond.

Validity of Subscriptions

We will resolve all questions regarding the validity and form of the exercise of your rights, including time of receipt and eligibility to participate in this offering. Our determination will be final and binding. Once made, subscriptions and directions are irrevocable, and we will not accept any alternative, conditional or contingent subscriptions or directions. We reserve the absolute right to reject any subscriptions or directions not properly submitted or the acceptance of which would be unlawful. You must resolve any irregularities in connection with your subscriptions before the subscription period expires, unless we waive them in our sole discretion. Neither we nor the Subscription Agent is under any duty to notify you or your representative of defects in your subscriptions. A subscription will be considered accepted, subject to our right to withdraw or terminate this offering, only when the Subscription Agent receives a properly completed and duly executed rights certificate, any other required documents and the full subscription payment. Our interpretations of the terms and conditions of this offering will be final and binding.

Funds Held by Subscription Agent

The Subscription Agent will hold your payment of the subscription price in a segregated account with other payments received from other rights holders until we issue shares of our Class A Common Stock to you upon consummation of this offering or the withdrawal or termination of this offering.

If the Subscription Agent returns payments to you through your broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee, then such broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee may charge you separate service or administration fees. We are not responsible for covering or reimbursing any such fees.

Stockholder Rights

You will have no rights as a holder of the shares of our Class A Common Stock that you purchase in this offering until you receive a direct registration account statement from our transfer agent reflecting ownership of such shares, or your account at your nominee is credited with the shares of our Class A Common Stock purchased in this offering.

No Revocation or Change

Once you have exercised your rights or have instructed your nominee of your subscription request, you may not revoke or change your exercise or request a refund of monies paid. All exercises of rights are irrevocable,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

even if you learn information about us that you consider unfavorable. You should not exercise your rights unless you are certain that you wish to purchase shares of our Class A Common Stock at the subscription price. Rights not exercised prior to the Expiration Date of this offering will expire and will have no value.

Listing and Trading

The rights will not be listed for trading on the Nasdaq or any other national securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

Transfers and Sales of Rights

The rights evidenced by a rights certificate may be transferred (i) in whole, by endorsing the rights certificate for transfer in accordance with the accompanying instructions or (ii) in part, by delivering to the Subscription Agent a rights certificate properly endorsed for transfer, with instructions to register such portion of the rights evidenced thereby in the name of the transferee and to issue a new rights certificate to the transferee evidencing such transferred rights. In such event, a new rights certificate evidencing the balance of the rights will be issued to the stockholder or, if the stockholder so instructs, to an additional transferee. The signature on the rights certificate must correspond to the name as written upon the face of the rights certificate, without alteration, enlargement, or any change. A signature guarantee must be provided by an Eligible Guarantor Institution as that term is defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act, subject to the standards and procedures adopted by us.

Stockholders wishing to transfer all or a portion of their rights should allow at least five business days prior to the Expiration Date of this offering for: (i) the transfer instructions to be received and processed by the Subscription Agent; (ii) a new rights certificate to be issued and transmitted to the transferee(s) with respect to transferred rights and to the transferor with respect to retained rights, if any; and (iii) the rights evidenced by such new rights certificate to be exercised or sold by the recipients thereof. Neither we nor the Subscription Agent shall have any liability to a transferee or transferor of rights if rights certificates are not received in time for exercise prior to the Expiration Date.

Except for the fees charged by the Subscription Agent, which will be paid by us, all commissions, fees and other expenses (including brokerage commissions and transfer taxes) incurred or charged in connection with the purchase, sale or exercise of rights will be for the account of the transferor of the rights. None of those commissions, fees or expenses will be paid by us or the Subscription Agent.

We anticipate that the rights will be eligible for transfer through, and that the exercise of the basic subscription and oversubscription privileges may be effected through, the facilities of DTC. Holders of DTC exercised rights may exercise the oversubscription right in respect of such DTC exercised rights by properly completing and duly executing and delivering to the Subscription Agent, at or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, a nominee holder over-rights certificate or a substantially similar form satisfactory to the Subscription Agent, together with payment of the estimated subscription price for the number of shares for which the oversubscription privilege is to be exercised.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

Although the authorities governing transactions such as this offering are complex and unclear in certain respects (including with respect to the effects of the oversubscription privilege), we believe and intend to take the position that a holder’s receipt or exercise of rights should generally be nontaxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This position regarding the non-taxable treatment of this offering is, however, not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or the courts. You should consult your tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences to you of the receipt of rights in this offering and the exercise, sale or lapse of the rights, including the applicability of any state, local or non-U.S. tax laws in light of your particular circumstances. For a more detailed discussion, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.”

Non-U.S. Stockholders

The Subscription Agent will not mail rights certificates to stockholders on the Record Date whose addresses are outside the United States, and such holders’ rights certificates will be held by the Subscription Agent for their account until any instructions are received to exercise their rights. If you are a stockholder whose address is outside the United States, to exercise your rights, you must notify the Subscription Agent before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on , 2025, which is five business days prior to the Expiration Date, unless extended by us, and, if we so request, must establish to our satisfaction that you are permitted to exercise your rights under applicable law. Any questions related to exercising rights should be directed to the Subscription Agent. If these procedures are not followed prior to the Expiration Date, those holders’ rights will expire. We will decide all questions concerning the timeliness, validity, form and eligibility of the exercise of your rights, and any such determinations by us will be final and binding.

This offering is not being made in any state or other jurisdiction in which it would be unlawful to do so, nor are we selling to you, or accepting any offers from you to purchase, shares of our Class A Common Stock if you are a resident of any such state or other jurisdiction. If necessary, we may delay commencement of this offering in certain states or other jurisdictions in order to comply with the securities law requirements of those states or other jurisdictions. We do not anticipate that there will be any changes in this offering, and we may, in our sole discretion, decline to make modifications to the terms of this offering requested by regulators in states or other jurisdictions, in which case stockholders who live in those states or other jurisdictions will not be eligible to participate in this offering.

Interests of Our Executive Officers and Directors

Our executive officers and directors who hold shares of Common Stock may participate in this offering at the same subscription price as all other stockholders, but none of our executive officers and directors are obligated to so participate.

No Recommendation

An investment in shares of our Class A Common Stock must be made according to each investor’s evaluation of such investor’s own best interests and after considering all of the information herein, including the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 8 of this prospectus.

Neither we nor our Board has, or will, make any recommendation to stockholders whether to exercise their rights in this offering. You should make an independent investment decision about whether to exercise your rights based on your own assessment of our business and this offering.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following discussion is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ~~receipt, exercise (or expiration) and disposition of the rights acquired through this offering and the~~ ownership and disposition of shares of our Class A Common Stock ~~received upon exercise of the rights~~. This discussion does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects. The effects of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, and any applicable state, local or non-U.S. tax laws are not discussed. This discussion is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the IRS, in each case in effect as of the date hereof. These authorities may change or be subject to differing interpretations. Any such change or differing interpretation may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a holder of ~~the rights or~~ shares of our Common Stock. We have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position to that discussed below regarding the tax consequences of the receipt of rights through this offering by persons holding shares of our Class A Common Stock entitled to receive rights pursuant to this offering, the exercise (or expiration) of the rights, the disposition of the rights, and the ownership and disposition of shares of our Class A Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the rights.

This discussion is limited to ~~the rights acquired through this offering and~~ shares of our Class A Common Stock ~~acquired upon exercise of rights, in each case,~~ that are held as a “capital asset” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to a holder’s particular circumstances, including the impact of the alternative minimum tax or the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income. In addition, it does not address consequences relevant to holders subject to special rules, including, without limitation:

•· U.S. expatriates and former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

•· persons holding ~~the rights or~~ shares of our Class A Common Stock as part of a hedge, straddle or other risk reduction strategy or as part of a conversion transaction or other integrated investment;

•· banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions;

Tax Considerations Applicable to U.S. Holders

Definition of a U.S. Holder

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is any beneficial owner of shares of our ~~Common~~Class ~~Stock,~~A ~~our rights or shares of our~~ Common Stock ~~acquired upon exercise of rights, as the case may be,~~ that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is or is treated as any of the following:

•· an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

•· a corporation created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia; or

•· an estate or trust, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source.

Receipt of Rights

Although the authorities governing transactions such as this offering are complex and unclear in certain respects (including with respect to the effects of the over-subscription privilege), we believe and intend to take the position that a U.S. Holder’s receipt of rights pursuant to this offering should not be treated as a taxable distribution with respect to such holder’s existing shares of Common Stock for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Section 305(a) of the Code generally provides that the receipt by a stockholder of a right to acquire stock or warrants is not included in the taxable income of the stockholder; however, the general non-recognition rule in Section 305(a) of the Code is subject to exceptions described in Section 305(b) of the Code, which include “disproportionate distributions.” A disproportionate distribution is generally a distribution or a series of distributions, including deemed distributions, that has the effect of the receipt of cash or other property by some stockholders (including holders of rights to acquire stock and holders of debt instruments convertible into stock) and an increase in the proportionate interest of other stockholders (including holders of rights to acquire stock and holders of debt instruments convertible into stock) in a corporation’s assets or earnings and profits.

We have not made any distributions of cash or property (other than stock or rights to acquire stock) with respect to our stock or stock options. Currently, we do not intend to make any future distributions of cash or property (other than stock or rights to acquire stock) with respect to our stock or stock options; however, there is no guarantee that we will not make such distributions or payments, or distributions or payments in respect of other equity or convertible debt instruments, in the future.

This position regarding the non-taxable treatment of this offering is not binding on the IRS or the courts. If this position is finally determined by the IRS or a court to be incorrect, whether because, contrary to our expectations, distributions of cash or property (other than stock or rights to acquire stock) are made with respect to our stock or stock options, because the issuance of the rights is a “disproportionate distribution” or for any other reason, the fair market value of the rights would be taxable to U.S. Holders of our Common Stock generally in the manner as described below under “—Distributions on Common Stock.”

The remainder of this discussion is based upon the treatment of this offering as a non-taxable distribution with respect to a U.S. Holder’s existing shares of Common Stock for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Tax Basis and Holding Period in the Rights

If the fair market value of the rights a U.S. Holder receives is less than 15% of the fair market value of the U.S. Holder’s existing shares of Common Stock with respect to which the rights are distributed on the date the U.S. Holder receives the rights, Section 307(b) of the Code provides that the rights will be allocated a zero tax basis for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless the U.S. Holder elects to allocate the tax basis in the holder’s existing shares of Common Stock between the existing shares of Common Stock and the rights in proportion to the relative fair market values of the existing shares of Common Stock and the rights determined on the date of receipt of the rights. If a U.S. Holder chooses to allocate tax basis between the holder’s existing common shares and the rights, the U.S. Holder must make this election on a statement included with the holder’s timely filed U.S. federal income tax return (including extensions) for the taxable year in which the U.S. Holder receives the rights. Such an election is irrevocable.

However, if the fair market value of the rights a U.S. Holder receives is 15% or more of the fair market value of the holder’s existing shares of Common Stock on the date the U.S. Holder receives the rights, then the U.S. Holder must allocate tax basis in the existing shares of Common Stock between those shares and the rights the U.S. Holder receives in proportion to their fair market values determined on the date the U.S. Holder receives the rights. Please refer to the discussion below regarding the U.S. tax treatment of a U.S. Holder that, at the time of the receipt of the right, no longer holds the Common Stock with respect to which the right was distributed.

The fair market value of the rights on the date that the rights are distributed is uncertain, and we have not obtained, and do not intend to obtain, an appraisal of the fair market value of the rights on that date. In determining the fair market value of the rights, U.S. Holders should consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including, without limitation, any difference between the subscription price of the rights and the trading price of our shares of Class A Common Stock on the date that the rights are distributed, the fair market value and the length of the period during which the rights may be exercised.

A U.S. Holder’s holding period in the rights it receives will include the holding period of the U.S. Holder’s existing shares of Common Stock with respect to which the rights are distributed.

Exercise of Rights

A U.S. Holder will not recognize gain or loss upon the exercise of a right received in this offering. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, if any, in the right plus the subscription price will establish the U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in the shares of Class A Common Stock received upon exercise of such U.S. Holder’s right. It is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period for a share of Class A Common Stock acquired upon exercise of a right in this offering will begin on the date of exercise or the day following the date of exercise.

If, at the time of the receipt or exercise of the right, the U.S. Holder no longer holds the Common Stock with respect to which the right was distributed, then certain aspects of the tax treatment of the receipt and exercise of the right are unclear, including (i) the allocation of the tax basis between the shares of our Common Stock previously sold and the right, (ii) the impact of such allocation on the amount and timing of gain or loss recognized with respect to the shares of our Common Stock previously sold, and (iii) the impact of such allocation on the tax basis of the shares of our Class A Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the right. Furthermore, if you exercise the rights and sell other shares of our Common Stock within the 61-day period beginning 30 days before the exercise date and ending 30 days after the exercise date, the “wash sale” rules may disallow the recognition of any loss upon the sale of our Common Stock. If a U.S. Holder exercises a right received in this offering after disposing of shares of our Common Stock with respect to which the right is received, the U.S. Holder should consult its tax advisor.

Expiration of Rights

If a U.S. Holder allows rights received in this offering to expire, the U.S. Holder should not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the U.S. Holder should re-allocate any portion of the tax basis in its existing common shares previously allocated to the rights that have expired to such U.S. Holder’s existing common shares.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Rights

Upon a sale, exchange, or other taxable disposition of rights received in this offering, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, if any, in such rights. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period of the rights exceeded one year at the time of disposition. Long-term capital gains recognized by certain non-corporate taxpayers, including individuals, generally are subject to reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Distributions on Common Stock

We do not anticipate declaring or paying cash dividends to holders of our Class A Common Stock in the foreseeable future. However, if we do make distributions of cash or property on our Class A Common Stock, such distributions will constitute dividends to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Dividends received by a corporate U.S. Holder may be eligible for a dividends received deduction, subject to applicable limitations. Dividends received by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individuals, are generally taxed at the lower applicable capital gains rate, provided that certain holding period and other requirements are satisfied. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital and first be applied against and reduce a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Class A Common Stock, ~~as the case may be,~~ but not below zero. Any excess will be treated as capital gain and will be treated as described below under “—–Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Common Stock.”

Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Common Stock

Upon a sale, exchange, or other taxable disposition of our Class A Common Stock, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized (not including any amount attributable to declared and unpaid dividends, which will be taxable to U.S. Holders who have not previously included such dividends in income as described above under “—–Distributions on Common Stock”) and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our Class A Common Stock. Such capital gain or loss will generally be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for our Class A Common Stock exceeded one year at the time of disposition. Long-term capital gains recognized by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individuals, generally are subject to reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

A U.S. Holder may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding when such holder receives dividend payments ~~(including constructive dividends)~~ or receives proceeds from the sale or other taxable disposition of the shares of our Class A Common Stock ~~acquired through the exercise of rights~~. Certain U.S. Holders are exempt from backup withholding, including corporations and certain tax-exempt organizations. A U.S. Holder will be subject to backup withholding unless such holder provides the holder’s taxpayer identification number and otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules or the holder provides proof of an applicable exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their qualification for an exemption from backup withholding and the procedures for obtaining such an exemption.

Tax Considerations Applicable to Non-U.S. Holders

~~For purposes of this discussion, a “Non-U.S. Holder” is any beneficial owner of shares of our Common Stock, our rights or shares of our Class~~20 ~~A Common Stock acquired upon exercise of rights, as the case may be, that is neither a U.S. Holder nor an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.~~

~~Receipt~~For purposes of this discussion, ~~Exercise~~a ~~and~~“Non-U.S. Holder” ~~Expiration~~is any beneficial owner of ~~the~~shares ~~Rights~~of our Class A Common Stock that is neither a U.S. Holder nor an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The discussion assumes that the receipt of rights will be treated as a nontaxable distribution. See “—Tax Considerations Applicable to U.S. Holders—Receipt of Rights” above. In such case, Non-U.S. Holders will not

TABLE OF CONTENTS

be subject to U.S. federal income tax (or any withholding thereof) on the receipt, exercise or expiration of the rights. Otherwise, the fair market value of the rights would be taxable to Non-U.S. Holders of our Common Stock generally in the manner as described below under “—Distributions on Common Stock.”

Distributions on Common Stock

Subject to the discussion below on effectively connected income, dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividends (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty), provided that the Non-U.S. Holder furnishes a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable documentation) claiming such benefits. Dividends will not be subject to withholding if they are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States and the Non-U.S. Holder provides a valid IRS Form W-8ECI. A Non-U.S. Holder that does not timely furnish the required documentation, but that qualifies for a reduced treaty rate, may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under any applicable income tax treaty.

If dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such dividends are attributable), the Non-U.S. Holder will be exempt from the U.S. federal withholding tax described above. To claim the exemption, the Non-U.S. Holder must furnish to the applicable withholding agent a valid IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States.

Any such effectively connected dividends will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected dividends, as adjusted for certain items. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

Sale ofor Other Disposition of ~~Rights or~~ Common Stock

A Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other taxable disposition of our ~~rights or~~ Class A Common Stock unless:

•· the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such gain is attributable);

•· the Non-U.S. Holder is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the disposition and certain other requirements are met; or

•· our ~~rights or~~ Class A Common Stock constitute a U.S. real property interest (“USRPI”) by reason of our status as a U.S. real property holding corporation (“USRPHC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Gain described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected gain, as adjusted for certain items.

A Non-U.S. Holder described in the second bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on gain realized upon the sale or 21

31A Non-U.S. Holder described in the second bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on gain realized upon the sale or other taxable disposition of our Class A Common Stock, which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses of the Non-U.S. Holder (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States), provided that the Non-U.S. Holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

other taxable disposition of our rights or Class A Common Stock, which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses of the Non-U.S. Holder (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States), provided that the Non-U.S. Holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses.

With respect to the third bullet point above, we believe we currently are not, and do not anticipate becoming, a USRPHC. Because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends, however, on the fair market value of our USRPIs relative to the fair market value of our non-U.S. real property interests and our assets used or held for use in a trade or business, there can be no assurance we currently are not a USRPHC or will not become one in the future. Even if we are or were to become a USRPHC, gain arising from the sale or other taxable disposition of our Class A Common Stock by a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax if our Common Stock is “regularly traded,” as defined by applicable Treasury Regulations, on an established securities market and such Non-U.S. Holder owned, actually and constructively, 5% or less of our Common Stock throughout the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the sale or other taxable disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period.

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding potentially applicable income tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Payments of dividends on our Class A Common Stock will not be subject to backup withholding, provided that the applicable withholding agent does not have actual knowledge or reason to know the holder is a United States person and the holder either certifies its non-U.S. status, such as by furnishing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, or W-8ECI, or otherwise establishes an exemption. However, information returns are required to be filed with the IRS in connection with any distributions (including deemed distributions) on our Class A Common Stock paid to the Non-U.S. Holder, regardless of whether such distributions constitute dividends or whether any tax was actually withheld. In addition, proceeds of the sale or other taxable disposition of our ~~rights or~~ Class A Common Stock within the United States or conducted through certain U.S.-related brokers generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting if the applicable withholding agent receives the certification described above and does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a United States person or the holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Proceeds of a disposition of our ~~rights or~~ Class A Common Stock conducted through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting.

Copies of information returns that are filed with the IRS may also be made available under the provisions of an applicable treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is established.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Additional Withholding Tax on Payments Made to Foreign Accounts

Provisions of the Code commonly referred to as “FATCA” require withholding of 30% on payments of dividends on our Class A common stock, as well as of gross proceeds of dispositions of our Class A common stock, to “foreign financial institutions” (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain other non-U.S. entities unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied, or an exemption applies. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify these requirements. Under proposed regulations, the preamble to which states that taxpayers may rely on the proposed regulations until final regulations are issued, this withholding tax will not apply to the gross proceeds from the sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of our common stock. If FATCA withholding is imposed, a beneficial owner that is not a foreign financial institution generally may obtain a refund of any amounts withheld by filing a U.S. federal income tax return (which may entail significant administrative burden).

Investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of withholding under FATCA to ~~their receipt, ownership, and exercise and disposition of rights and~~ the ownership and disposition of shares of our Class A Common Stock ~~acquired upon exercise of rights~~.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers dealers to participate in sales. Broker dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us that are incident to the registration of the securities. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

We have agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for us to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the issuance of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon for the company by Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP. If the validity of any securities is also passed upon by counsel for the underwriters, dealers or agents of an offering of those securities, that counsel will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent to the registrant. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Section 7.01 of the registrant’s amended and restated bylaws provides for indemnification by the registrant of its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. The registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its current directors and executive officers to provide these directors and executive officers additional contractual assurances regarding the scope of the indemnification set forth in the registrant’s twelfth amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws and to provide additional procedural protections. There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director or executive officer of the registrant for which indemnification is sought.

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for a director for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions, (iv) for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit or (v) for an officer in any action by or in the right of the corporation. The registrant’s twelfth amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for such limitation of liability with respect to its directors.

The registrant maintains standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (a) to its directors and officers against loss rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and (b) to the registrant with respect to payments which may be made by the registrant to such officers and directors pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On January 31, 2023, the registrant entered into a Ninth Amendment (the “Credit Facility Amendment”) to its term loan agreement dated as of July 23, 2018, with Double Helix Pte Ltd. (“Double Helix”), an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited, as administrative agent for the lenders party

thereto (the “Lenders”) (as amended by the Credit Facility Amendment, the “Amended Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility Amendment provided for, among other things, (i) an extension of the maturity of the Amended Credit Facility to October 29, 2026, (ii) a reduction of the cash portion of the interest rate to 2.00% per annum through July 31, 2024, increasing to 5.00% per annum for the duration of the Amended Credit Facility (with the remainder of the total interest in each period to be paid in kind) and (iii) a 1.00% increase in the total interest rate on February 1, 2024 and on each subsequent one-year anniversary thereof for the duration of the Amended Credit Facility.

In connection with and as consideration for entering into the Credit Facility Amendment, on January 31, 2023, the registrant granted a warrant to Double Helix to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock, at an exercise price of $5.00 per share (the “Warrant”). The Warrant will expire on January 31, 2030 and may be net exercised at the holder’s election.

The Warrant is exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and corresponding provisions of state securities or “blue sky” laws, as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering. Double Helix represented that it was acquiring the Warrant and shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant for investment for Double Helix’s account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution within the meaning of the Securities Act. Accordingly, neither the Warrant nor the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant have been registered under the Securities Act and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. Appropriate legends were affixed to the securities issued in the transaction.

Rights Offering Backstop Commitment

On October 21, 2025, the subscription period for the registrant’s previously announced $12,500,000 rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) expired. Subscribers in the Rights Offering exercised rights to purchase an aggregate of 742,956 shares of Class A Common Stock, and the gross proceeds received from subscribers in the Rights Offering was approximately $3.0 million. Pursuant to the Rights Offering Backstop Agreement, dated as of August 20, 2025 (the “Backstop Agreement”), by and among the Company and Lender, Nexus and STORY3, the Investor Group agreed to purchase all unsubscribed shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Rights Offering at a price of $4.08 per share (the “Backstop Commitment”). In satisfaction of the Backstop Commitment, the registrant issued an aggregate of 2,320,769 shares of Class A Common Stock to the Investor Group, of which 1,624,539 shares were purchased by Lender, 348,115 shares were purchased by Nexus and 348,115 shares were purchased by STORY3. The gross proceeds received by the registrant from the Backstop Commitment were approximately $9.5 million. All shares issued in satisfaction of the Backstop Commitment were issued in a transaction pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Term Loan Equitization

On October 28, 2025, in connection with the Term Loan Equitization, 7,852,558 shares were subsequently sold by Lender to Nexus and STORY3 for gross proceeds of $30.0 million. All shares issued in connection with the Term Loan Equitization were issued in a transaction pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. See
“Summary—Recent Developments”.

Item 17. Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)

to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii)

to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Filing Fee Tables” or “Calculation of Registration Fee” table, as applicable, in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)

to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.

II-2

TABLE OF CONTENTS

or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and this offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of this offering.

(4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)

any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to this offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

II-3

(ii)

any free writing prospectus relating to this offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii)

the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to this offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv)

any other communication that is an offer in this offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(6)

That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and this offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(7)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
