3,000,000 Shares

Swarmer, Inc

Common Stock

This prospectus relates to the potential offer and sale from time to time by Lucid Capital Markets, LLC and its affiliates identified in this prospectus (collectively, “Lucid” or the “Selling Stockholder”) of up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock of Swarmer, Inc (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or “SWMR”), par value $0.00001 per share (the “common stock”), that may be issued by us to the Selling Stockholder pursuant to that certain common stock purchase agreement, dated as of June 10, 2026, by and between the Company and the Selling Stockholder (the “Purchase Agreement”), establishing a liquidity line (“Lucid Liquidity Line”), pursuant to which we may, in our sole discretion, elect to issue and sell to the Selling Stockholder up to 3,000,000 of our shares of common stock in one or more transactions, from time to time after the date of this prospectus.

We are not selling any securities under this prospectus and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to this prospectus. However, we may receive up to approximately $181 million in aggregate gross proceeds from the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement in connection with sales of the shares of our common stock we may elect to make pursuant to the Purchase Agreement after the date of this prospectus, based on an assumed offering price of $60.32, the last reported sale price of our common stock on June 9, 2026. See “The Lucid Liquidity Line” for a description of the Purchase Agreement and “Selling Stockholder” for additional information regarding the Selling Stockholder.

Lucid is a registered broker-dealer and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) member, and will act as an executing broker that will effectuate resales of our common stock that may be acquired by Lucid from us pursuant to the Purchase Agreement to the public in this offering. Because Lucid will receive all the net proceeds from such resales of our common stock made to the public through Lucid, Lucid is deemed to have a “conflict of interest” within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5121. Consequently, this offering will be conducted in compliance with the provisions of FINRA Rule 5121. Pursuant to that rule, we have engaged Seaport Global Securities LLC (“Seaport”) to act as a “qualified independent underwriter” in this offering and have agreed to pay their fees for such services.

The Selling Stockholder may sell or otherwise dispose of the shares of common stock described in this prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices. See “Plan of Distribution (Conflict of Interest)” for more information about how the Selling Stockholder may sell or otherwise dispose of such shares. Although the Selling Stockholder is obligated to purchase shares of our common stock under the terms of the Purchase Agreement to the extent we choose to sell such common stock to them (subject to certain conditions), there can be no assurances that the Selling Stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of our common stock purchased under the Purchase Agreement pursuant to this prospectus. Lucid is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

We will pay the expenses incurred in registering under the Securities Act the offer and resale of the shares of common stock offered hereby by the Selling Stockholder.

Our common stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “SWMR”. On June 9, 2026, the last reported sale price of our common stock was $60.32. The applicable prospectus supplement, if any, will contain information, where applicable, as to any other listing, if any, on Nasdaq or any securities market or other securities exchange of the securities covered by the prospectus supplement. Prospective purchasers of our securities are urged to obtain current information as to the market prices of our securities, where applicable.

We are an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company” as defined under the federal securities laws and, as such, we have elected to comply with certain reduced reporting requirements for this prospectus and may elect to do so in future filings. See “Prospectus Summary — Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company.”

Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time by filing amendments or supplements as required. We urge you to read the entire prospectus, any amendments or supplements, any free writing prospectuses, and any documents incorporated by reference carefully before you make your investment decision.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 16 of this prospectus for a discussion of certain risks that you should consider in connection with an investment in our securities.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information contained in greater detail elsewhere in this prospectus and does not contain all of the information that you should consider in making an investment decision. Before investing in our common stock, you should carefully read this entire prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes appearing at the end of this prospectus and the information set forth under the “Risk Factors,” “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of this prospectus. Unless the context otherwise requires, we use the terms “Swarmer,” “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” in this prospectus to refer to Swarmer, Inc.

Overview

We are launching the future of autonomous warfare through combat-proven software that enables military forces to deploy and coordinate drone swarms at significant scale. While hardware manufacturers compete and as the go-to in an increasingly commoditized market, we seek to establish ourself as a critical software layer operating system for autonomous swarm operations positioning us to capture increased value as the global military drone market experiences growth projected to exceed 12% compound annual growth through 2030.

Combat-Proven Experience Through Operational Deployment

Unlike competitors developing capabilities in peacetime laboratory environments, we have maintained continuous combat deployment in Ukraine since 2023, executing over 100,000 combat missions flown by drones that were equipped with our Swarmer Operating System (“Swarmer OS”), operating at varying degrees of autonomy depending on each end-user’s requirements and tactics. This operational deployment has generated a key strategic asset: a comprehensive operational dataset that creates a powerful reinforcement loop compounding over time whereby better data enables better-performing systems, better-performing systems receive broader deployment, broader deployment generates more data. Competitors without similar operational access face fundamental limitations in achieving comparable autonomous capability maturity regardless of their engineering resources. This data advantage would require competitors to gain similar operational deployment to replicate, with such deployment opportunities being inherently limited and difficult to obtain.

Our compressed iteration cycles in active combat enable capability enhancement velocities that we believe are unachievable by traditional defense contractors. Where we believe that our competitors require months or years to develop their technology, we identify capability gaps, develop solutions, deploy to operational units, and validate performance in actual combat missions within days. We believe this operational tempo gives us a competitive advantage and enables us to deliver customer-requested capabilities faster than our competitors.

Architected to Capitalize on Favorable Industry Dynamics

Our business model is specifically designed to capture value from structural transformation in the defense drone industry. As hardware manufacturing fragments with hundreds of new drone manufacturers emerging annually in recent years and hardware margins compress, we believe autonomous software is consolidating toward companies with substantial operational datasets. Our per-unit software licensing model creates highly attractive unit economics that improve as the market scales. Our software licensing fees remain stable per unit while our incremental cost to license additional units approaches zero, creating expanding gross margins as volume increases. As drone manufacturers face margin compression, we believe our software becomes an increasingly critical value differentiator, positioning us as a strategic partner able to help manufacturers defend margins and win competitive procurements.

Vendor-Agnostic Platform Positioning for Market Capture

We believe our vendor-agnostic architecture represents a fundamental strategic advantage, positioning us as a critical integration layer for the fragmenting hardware ecosystem. By designing our software to integrate with drones from any manufacturer, we partner with leading manufacturers. As hardware manufacturing fragments, military forces require interoperability across diverse platforms. Our vendor-agnostic approach positions us to benefit from the entire market’s growth rather than limiting ourselves to proprietary hardware platforms, while providing strategic resilience as we are not dependent on any single manufacturer’s success.

Multi-Domain Expansion and Scaling Roadmap

We have systematically expanded from unmanned aerial vehicles to multi-domain operations encompassing unmanned ground vehicles, unmanned surface vessels, and planned integration with missiles and guidance kits. Our 2026 roadmap targets coordination of thousands of systems across air, ground, and maritime environments, positioning us to address the full spectrum of unmanned systems requirements and significantly expanding our addressable market opportunity.

Commitments and Pipeline

We have firm commitments, representing executed contracts for software licenses, hardware integration services, and system deliveries which are projected by our customers to take place over the subsequent 12 to 24 months, totaling $16.3 million in projected revenue. We also expect to receive an additional $16.8 million in anticipated revenue over the same timeframe as outlined in memoranda of understanding with certain of our existing customers, for an aggregate total of $33.1 million in expected revenue which amount assumes no revenue from Smart Machinery Solutions, LLC, a Ukrainian limited liability company (“SMS”), who accounted for substantially all of our revenue during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. We expect to recognize a substantial portion of the aggregate total as revenue during 2026, with the balance expected to be recognized in 2027 and early 2028, subject to customer acceptance milestones, delivery schedules, and funding availability. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for additional information.

On May 11, 2026, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Swarmer Estonia OÜ, a private limited company organized under the laws of Estonia, entered into a Master Supplier Agreement (the “MB MSA”) with Meta Bureau LLC (“MB”) for the use of our proprietary software in MB’s quadcopter bombers and other unmanned aerial vehicles pursuant to three licenses. The MB MSA includes initial lump-sum license fees in an aggregate amount of approximately $2.9 million, ongoing support services, and has an initial term of one year, which term shall automatically renew for successive one-year periods subject to termination upon 30 days written notice. The MB MSA also provides for additional software upgrades upon MB’s election with additional fees of up to approximately $10.4 million upon any such election in full.

Decisive Competitive Advantages

We differentiate through numerous competitive advantages: combat-proven validation through over 100,000 missions flown by drones that were equipped with our Swarmer OS, operating at varying degrees of autonomy depending on each end-user’s requirements and tactics and providing operational credibility that we believe is unavailable to our competitors; rapid iteration velocity enabling capability delivery in days rather than years; vendor-agnostic platform enabling interoperability rather than vendor lock-in; operational data advantage creating compounding performance improvements; and multi-domain capability breadth providing comprehensive solutions. These advantages position us favorably precisely where we believe defense forces increasingly prioritize attributes: combat-proven reliability, rapid capability enhancement, and interoperability as drone warfare becomes central to military effectiveness.

Acquiring Value-Enhancing Businesses

In the ordinary course of our business, we continually seek acquisition targets that can accelerate our growth and generate significant cash flows over time. We are evaluating numerous opportunities for such acquisitions in the near term. Any of these acquisitions could have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

The status of opportunities in our pipeline varies from early evaluation through preliminary discussions and varying levels of due diligence and negotiation of potential transaction terms. We are not party to any definitive agreements in respect of such acquisition targets as of the date of this prospectus and the timing and our desire to consummate any such acquisition depends, among other things, on the results of our continuing due diligence.

Even if our due diligence efforts lead us to desire to consummate acquisitions, there is no assurance that we will consummate the acquisition of any of the targets in our pipeline. In addition to the continuing diligence efforts outlined above, we will still need to enter into definitive agreements with the targets in a dynamic market which may impact corresponding valuation metrics and multiples and, even if an agreement is entered into, both parties would need to satisfy any applicable closing conditions. There are a number of other factors that could impact our ability to successfully complete these acquisitions, including competition for targets, sometimes from competitors with greater available resources for acquisitions. However, negotiations and diligence relating to one or more of these potential acquisitions could advance rapidly in the near future, and, accordingly, it is also possible that we could enter into and

Table of Contents

close under agreements to acquire one or more businesses consistent with our acquisition strategy described above, shortly after the date of this prospectus.

It should be noted that acquisitions involve a number of risks and may not achieve our expectations; and therefore we could be adversely affected by any such acquisition. There are a number of risks inherent in assessing the value, strengths, weaknesses, contingent or other liabilities, and potential profitability of acquisition candidates, as well as the challenges of integrating acquired companies and achieving potential synergies once an acquisition is consummated, that may cause an acquisition to fail.

Uniquely Positioned for Exceptional Growth

We are uniquely positioned at the intersection of multiple favorable market dynamics: impactful growth in global military drone markets driven by validated operational concepts from Ukraine; structural shift favoring software consolidation while hardware fragments; urgent military requirements for autonomous coordination capabilities; accelerating European and allied defense procurement focused on unmanned systems; and our established operational deployment generating key data advantages and combat-proven credibility. Through our combat-tested software platform, vendor-agnostic business model, strategic EU positioning, and culture of rapid battlefield-driven iteration, we believe we are positioned to become an important platform for autonomous drone operations across democratic nations and their defense industrial partners.

Recent Developments

On February 18, 2026, our board of directors approved an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation providing a 1.8813-for-1 forward stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock. The forward stock split became effective on February 18, 2026. All share and per share information set forth in this prospectus gives effect to the forward stock split.

On March 18, 2026, we completed the initial public offering of 3,450,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $5.00 per share, which amount reflects the underwriter’s full exercise of the overallotment option granted to the underwriter (the “Initial Public Offering”). The gross proceeds from the Initial Public Offering were approximately $17.3 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable. In connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock converted (the “Conversion”) into (i) 6,137,634 shares of common stock and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 1,799,970 shares of common stock. The conversion of certain shares of Series A Preferred Stock into pre-funded warrants was pursuant to an election made by certain investors pursuant to the terms of our then-existing second amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Upon completion of the Initial Public Offering and the Conversion, we had 10,998,609 shares of common stock outstanding, which includes 440,930 shares of unvested restricted stock. The pre-funded warrants have an exercise price of $0.01 per share, subject to certain adjustments therein, are immediately exercisable and expire upon exercise in full. In connection with our Initial Public Offering, we adopted the third amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”), which increased the number of shares of common stock authorized to 200,000,000 shares of common stock.

On May 11, 2026, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Swarmer Estonia OÜ, a private limited company organized under the laws of Estonia, entered into the MB MSA with MB for the use of our proprietary software in MB’s quadcopter bombers and other unmanned aerial vehicles pursuant to three licenses. The MB MSA includes initial lump-sum license fees in an aggregate amount of approximately $2.9 million, ongoing support services, and has an initial term of one year, which term shall automatically renew for successive one-year periods subject to termination upon 30 days written notice. The MB MSA also provides for additional software upgrades upon MB’s election with additional fees of up to approximately $10.4 million upon any such election in full.

Agreements

On June 10, 2026, we entered into the Purchase Agreement and a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Selling Stockholder. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we have the right to sell to the Selling Stockholder, from time to time during the term of the Purchase Agreement, up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

Sales of our shares of common stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, are solely at our option, and we are under no obligation to sell any securities to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement. In accordance with our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, we have filed the registration statement of our shares of common stock that we may, in our sole discretion, elect to sell to the Selling Stockholder in one or more transactions from time to time after the date of this prospectus.

Our right to cause the Selling Stockholder to purchase our shares of common stock is subject to certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including that the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part being declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The satisfaction of these conditions is referred to as the “Commencement”, and the date on which these conditions are satisfied is the “Commencement Date”.

Purchases

Beginning on the Commencement Date, and for 24 months thereafter, we will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time, at our sole discretion, to direct the Selling Stockholder to purchase a specified number of our shares of common stock (each, a “Purchase”). Each Purchase shall not exceed the lesser of the following (the “Purchase Maximum Amount”): (i) 250,000 of our shares of common stock and (ii) a percentage to be specified by us, not to exceed 20% (the “Purchase Valuation Percentage”), times the aggregate number of our shares of common stock traded on Nasdaq during the applicable Purchase Valuation Period (as defined below). The number of shares to be purchased by the Selling Stockholder in a given Purchase (the “Purchase Share Amount”) will be adjusted to the extent necessary to give effect to the applicable Purchase Maximum Amount and certain additional limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

We may elect to initiate a Purchase by timely delivering written notice to the Selling Stockholder (a “Purchase Notice”) prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on any day (each, a “Purchase Date”) on which our common stock trades or may be traded on Nasdaq (a “Trading Day”), so long as (a) the closing sale price of our common stock on Nasdaq on the Trading Day immediately prior to such Purchase Date is not less than $1.00, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the “Threshold Price”), and (b) all shares of common stock subject to all prior Purchases effected by us under the Purchase Agreement have been received by the Selling Stockholder prior to the time we deliver the Purchase Notice.

The per share purchase price that the Selling Stockholder is required to pay for our shares of common stock in a Purchase will be 98% of the volume weighted average price of our common stock (the “VWAP”) over a specified period on the Purchase Date. This period (the “Purchase Valuation Period”) begins at the official open of the regular trading session on Nasdaq on the applicable Purchase Date, and ends at the earliest to occur of (i) 3:59 p.m., New York City time, on that Purchase Date or such earlier time

Table of Contents

publicly announced by the trading market as the official close of the regular trading session on that Purchase Date, (ii) such time that the total aggregate number of our shares of common stock traded on Nasdaq during the Purchase Valuation Period reaches the applicable share volume maximum amount for such Purchase (the “Purchase Share Volume Maximum”), calculated by dividing (a) the applicable Purchase Share Amount for that Purchase, by (b) the Purchase Valuation Percentage for that Purchase, and (iii) if we further specify in the applicable Purchase Notice for such Purchase that a “limit order discontinue election” shall apply to such Purchase (a “Limit Order Discontinue Election”), such time that the trading price of our common stock on Nasdaq during the Purchase Valuation Period falls below the applicable minimum price threshold for that Purchase specified by us in the Purchase Notice, which shall not be less than the Threshold Price, or if we do not specify a minimum price threshold in such Purchase Notice, a price equal to 75% of the closing sale price of our common stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the applicable Purchase Date for such Purchase (the “Minimum Price Threshold”).

Under the Purchase Agreement, for purposes of calculating the volume of shares of common stock traded during a Purchase Valuation Period, as well as the VWAP for a Purchase Valuation Period, the following transactions, to the extent they occur during such Purchase Valuation Period, shall be excluded: (x) the opening or first purchase of common stock at or following the official open of the regular trading session on Nasdaq on the applicable Purchase Date for such Purchase, (y) the last or closing sale of common stock at or prior to the official close of the regular trading session on Nasdaq on the applicable Purchase Date for such Purchase, and (z) if we have specified in the applicable Purchase Notice for such Purchase that a “limit order continue election” (a “Limit Order Continue Election”) shall apply to such Purchase (instead of specifying that a Limit Order Discontinue Election shall apply), all purchases and sales of common stock on Nasdaq during such Purchase Valuation Period at a price per share that is less than the applicable Minimum Price Threshold for such Purchase.

Intraday Purchases

In addition to the regular Purchases described above, after the Commencement, we will also have the right, but not the obligation, subject to the continued satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, to direct the Selling Stockholder to purchase, on any Trading Day, including on a Purchase Date on which a regular Purchase is effected, a specified number of our shares of common stock (each, an “Intraday Purchase”). Each Intraday Purchase is not to exceed the lesser of the following (the “Intraday Purchase Maximum Amount”): (i) 250,000 of our shares of common stock and (ii) a percentage to be specified by us, not to exceed 20%, times the total aggregate volume of shares of common stock traded on Nasdaq during the applicable “Intraday Purchase Valuation Period.” The number of shares to be purchased by the Selling Stockholder in a given Intraday Purchase (the “Intraday Purchase Share Amount”) will be adjusted to the extent necessary to give effect to the applicable Intraday Purchase Maximum Amount and certain additional limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

We may elect to initiate an Intraday Purchase by timely delivering irrevocable written notice (an “Intraday Purchase Notice”) to the Selling Stockholder after the later of (a) 10:00 a.m., New York City time (b) the end of the Purchase Valuation Period for any prior regular Purchase on that Purchase Date and (c) the end of the Intraday Purchase Valuation Period for the most recent prior Intraday Purchase effected on that Purchase Date (if any), and prior to 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such Purchase Date. We may only deliver an Intraday Purchase Notice so long as (i) the sale price of our common stock at the time of delivery of the Intraday Purchase Notice is not less than the Threshold Price and (ii) all shares of common stock subject to all prior Purchases and all prior Intraday Purchases effected by us under the Purchase Agreement have been received by the Selling Stockholder prior to the time we deliver the Intraday Purchase Notice.

The per share purchase price for our shares of common stock that we elect to sell to the Selling Stockholder in an Intraday Purchase pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if any, will be calculated in the same manner as in the case of a regular Purchase, provided that the VWAP for each Intraday Purchase effected on a Purchase Date will be calculated over a different period during the regular trading session on Nasdaq on the relevant Purchase Date, each of which will commence and end at different times on that Purchase Date, and the applicable minimum price threshold in the event we do not specify a minimum price threshold in the Intraday Purchase Notice will be a price equal to 75% of the sale price of our shares of common stock at the time of delivery of the applicable Intraday Purchase Notice.

Other Terms

The Purchase Agreement does not set an upper limit on the price per share that the Selling Stockholder could be obligated to pay for shares of common stock that we elect to sell to it in any Purchase or any Intraday Purchase. In the case of Purchases and Intraday Purchases, all share and dollar amounts used in determining the purchase price per share, or in determining the applicable maximum purchase share amounts or applicable volume or price threshold amounts, will be equitably adjusted for any reorganization,

Table of Contents

recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction occurring during any period used to calculate any per share purchase price, maximum purchase share amount or applicable volume or price threshold amount.

From and after Commencement, we will control the timing and amount of any sales of our shares of common stock to the Selling Stockholder. Whether we conduct actual sales of shares of common stock to the Selling stockholder under the Purchase Agreement, and the size and terms of those sales, will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock and determinations by us as to the appropriate sources of funding for our business and operations.

The net proceeds to us from sales that we elect to make to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement, if any, will depend on the frequency and prices at which we sell our shares of common stock to the Selling Stockholder. We expect that any proceeds received by us from such sales to the Selling Stockholder will be used for funding of ongoing operations, including expansion of capabilities and our product offerings, hiring employees, integration with the hardware of drone manufacturers, acquiring best-in-class technologies and world-class teams to expand our product portfolio and increase the impact created by our products on the battlefield, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

We may not issue or sell any shares of common stock to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement that, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock then beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholder and its affiliates would result in the Selling Stockholder beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”).

Under applicable Nasdaq rules, in no event may we issue or sell to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement any shares of its common stock to the extent the issuance of such shares of common stock, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, would cause the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement to exceed 19.99% of the shares of all classes of our common stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement (the “Exchange Cap”), unless (i) the Company obtains stockholder approval to issue shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap or (ii) the average price per share paid by the Selling Stockholder for all of the shares of common stock that we direct the Selling Stockholder to purchase from us pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if any, equals or exceeds the lower of (a) the official closing price of our common stock on Nasdaq immediately preceding the execution of the Purchase Agreement and (b) the average official closing price of our common stock on Nasdaq for the five consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the execution of the Purchase Agreement, in either case so that the Exchange Cap limitation will not apply to issuances and sales of common stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

Neither the Purchase Agreement nor the Registration Rights Agreement has restrictions on future financings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages, other than a prohibition (with certain limited exceptions) on entering into an “equity line of credit” or other similar continuous offering.

The Selling Stockholder has agreed that none of the Selling Stockholder or any entity managed or controlled by the Selling Stockholder, or any of their respective officers, will engage in or effect, directly or indirectly, for its own account or for the account of any other of such persons or entities, any short sales of our common stock or hedging transaction that establishes a net short position in our common stock during the term of the Purchase Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the first day of the month next following the 24-month anniversary of the Commencement Date, (ii) the date on which the Selling Stockholder shall have purchased from us under the Purchase Agreement 3,000,000 shares of common stock, (iii) the date on which our common stock shall have failed to be listed or quoted on Nasdaq or another U.S. national securities exchange identified as an “eligible market” (an “Eligible Market”) in the Purchase Agreement, (iv) the 30th Trading Day after the date on which a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding involving our company has been commenced that is not discharged or dismissed prior to such Trading Day, and (v) the date on which a bankruptcy custodian is appointed for all or substantially all of our property or we make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors.

We have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time after Commencement, at no cost or penalty, at any time upon 10 Trading Days’ notice. We and the Selling Stockholder may also agree to terminate the Purchase Agreement by mutual written consent, provided that no termination of the Purchase Agreement will be effective prior to the fifth Trading Day immediately following the date on which any pending Purchase or any pending Intraday Purchase has been fully settled in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. Neither we nor the Selling Stockholder may assign or transfer our respective rights and obligations under the

Table of Contents

Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, and no provision of the Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement may be modified or waived by us or the Selling Stockholder.

We have agreed to reimburse the Selling Stockholder for the reasonable legal fees and disbursements of the Selling Stockholder’s legal counsel in a total amount not to exceed $110,000 in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, consisting of $50,000 paid prior to the filing of this registration statement and $7,500 per fiscal quarter, for a maximum 24-month term, in which we direct the Selling Stockholder to purchase our shares of common stock, as contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement contain customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations of the parties. Copies of the agreements have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement that includes this prospectus and are available electronically on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

We do not know what the purchase price for our shares of common stock will be and therefore cannot be certain as to the number of shares we might issue to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement Commencement Date. We have 11,210,256 shares of common stock outstanding, which includes 352,743 shares of unvested restricted stock, of which 6,865,042 shares are held by non-affiliates of ours (based on information available to us as of June 1, 2026). The Purchase Agreement provides that we may sell up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock to the Selling Stockholder and we are registering 3,000,000 shares of common stock under the Securities Act for resale by the Selling Stockholder under this prospectus. Depending on the market price of our common stock at the times we elect to issue and sell shares to the Selling Stockholder, we may need to register under the Securities Act additional shares of common stock for resale by the Selling Stockholder in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to the full amount available to us under the Purchase Agreement. If all of the 3,000,000 shares of common stock offered for resale by the Selling Stockholder under this prospectus were issued and outstanding as of  June 1, 2026, those shares would represent approximately 21.1% of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock and approximately 30.4% of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock held by non-affiliates of our company, in each case based on information known to us as of  June 1, 2026. If we elect to issue and sell more than the 3,000,000 shares offered under this prospectus to the Selling Stockholder, which we have the right, but not the obligation, to do, we must first register under the Securities Act and have the SEC declare effective the sale by the Selling Stockholder of additional shares of common stock, which could cause additional substantial dilution to our shareholders.

The number of our shares of common stock ultimately offered for resale by the Selling Stockholder through this prospectus is dependent upon the number of shares of common stock, if any, we elect to sell to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement from and after the Commencement Date. The issuance of our shares of common stock to the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will not affect the rights or privileges of our existing shareholders, except that the economic and voting interests of each of our existing shareholders will be diluted. Although the number of shares of common stock that our existing shareholders own will not decrease, the shares of common stock owned by our existing shareholders will represent a smaller percentage of our total outstanding shares of common stock after any such issuance.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, in no event shall the Selling Stockholder be suspended from selling shares of common stock pursuant to any registration statement for a period that exceeds thirty (30) consecutive trading days or an aggregate of ninety (90) trading days in any 365-day period.

Risk Factor Summary

Our business is subject to a number of risks of which you should be aware before making an investment decision. These risks are discussed more fully in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus immediately following this prospectus summary. These risks include the following:

●

We have incurred significant losses since inception and cannot assure you that we will ever achieve or sustain profitability;

●

We have significant dependence on a small number of customers, and the loss of such customers or a decrease in business conducted with such customers could materially harm our business, financial condition or results of operations. While one customer accounted for substantially all of our revenue during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we have not received new orders from such customer and do not expect to receive new orders from such customer in the future;

●

Failure to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and stock value;

Table of Contents

●

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern;

●

If the commercial unmanned aircraft systems (“UAS”), unmanned ground vehicles and unmanned surface vessels (collectively, unmanned systems) markets do not experience significant growth, if we cannot expand our customer base or if our software and systems do not achieve broad acceptance, then we may not be able to achieve our anticipated level of growth;

●

There are difficult issues to navigate in the development and use of artificial intelligence (“AI”), which may result in reputational harm or liability, and failure to introduce new and innovative products that have AI capabilities could put us at a competitive disadvantage;

●

If we are unable to hire, retain, train, and motivate qualified personnel, particularly software engineers, our business could suffer;

●

We do not control the manufacturing process or delivery to end-users of the hardware platforms in which our software platforms and AI systems are deployed;

●

We rely upon third-party providers of hardware infrastructure to host our products. Any disruption in the operations of these third-party providers, limitations on capacity or interference with our use could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations;

●

Real or perceived design flaws, errors, defects, glitches, bugs or malfunctions (collectively, “flaws”) in our software platforms and AI systems, failure of our software platforms and AI systems to perform as expected, connectivity issues or user errors can result in lower than expected return on investment for customers, unintended personal injury or property damage and significant security or safety concerns, each of which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or reputation;

●

Even if our software platforms and AI systems perform properly and are used as intended, if unintended personal injuries occur while operating third-party products that use our software platforms and AI systems, we could be exposed to liability and our results of operations, financial condition and reputation may be adversely affected;

●

Our technology, software and systems have only been developed in the last several years and we have had only limited opportunities to deploy and assess their performance in the field at full scale;

●

We operate in competitive markets;

●

We rely on our management team and need additional personnel to grow our business, and the loss of one or more key officers, employees, contractors and other service providers or our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel could harm our business, financial condition or results of operations;

●

Cyberattacks through security vulnerabilities could lead to disruption of business, reduced revenue, increased costs, liability claims, or harm to our reputation or competitive position;

●

All our revenue is derived from our operations outside the U.S., which exposes us to risks inherent in doing business in each of the countries in which we operate, including Ukraine;

●

Military invasion, terrorism, and other acts of violence, or the cessation thereof, may affect the markets in which we operate, our employees, our contractors, our clients and our product and service delivery;

●

We and our customers operate in a highly regulated business environment and changes in regulation could impose costs on us or make our products less economical;

●

Our ability to protect our intellectual property and proprietary technology is uncertain;

●

If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our proprietary information, the value of our technology and products could be adversely affected;

●

If business growth falls short of expectations, we may need to obtain additional capital to fund our growth, operations, and obligations;

●

If our internal controls over financial reporting or our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results, prevent fraud or file our periodic reports in a timely manner, which may cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and may lead to a decline in our stock price;

●

We may issue more shares to raise additional capital, which may result in substantial dilution;

●

We are an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company, and the reduced disclosure and governance requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies may make our common stock less attractive to investors;

●

We will incur significant increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives; and

●

Unstable market and economic conditions may have serious adverse consequences on our business, financial condition and stock price.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company

We are an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (“JOBS Act”). We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Initial Public Offering, (2) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, (3) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if at least $700.0 million of our equity securities are held by non-affiliates as of the last business day of the second quarter of that fiscal year, or (4) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. As an emerging growth company,

●

we may present only two years of audited financial statements, plus unaudited financial statements for any interim period, and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this prospectus;

●

we may avail ourselves of the exemption from the requirement to obtain an attestation and report from our auditors on the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”);

●

we may provide reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;

●

we are exempt from compliance with the requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) regarding the communication of critical audit matters in the auditor’s report on the financial statements; and

●

we may not require stockholder non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements.

We have elected to take advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and may elect to take advantage of other reduced reporting requirements in future filings. As a result, the information that we provide to our stockholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.

Table of Contents

In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, delaying the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards, and, therefore, we will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards at the same time as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies or those that have opted out of using such extended transition period, which may make comparison of our financial statements with such other public companies more difficult. We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, or, with respect to adoption of certain new or revised accounting standards, until we irrevocably elect to opt out of using the extended transition period. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting standards as of public company effective dates.

We are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Exchange Act. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an emerging growth company. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as our common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.

THE OFFERING



Common stock outstanding before this offering	11,210,256

Common stock offered by the Selling Stockholder	Up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock, consisting of the shares of common stock that we may elect, in our sole discretion, to issue and sell to the Selling Stockholder in connection with the Total Commitment, from time to time and after the date of this prospectus in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.

Common stock to be outstanding immediately after this offering	14,210,256 shares (assuming the issuance of all shares of common stock being offered in this prospectus).

Use of proceeds	We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by the Selling Stockholder hereunder. However, we may receive up to approximately $181 million in aggregate gross proceeds from the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement in connection with sales of shares of our common stock to the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, based on an assumed offering price of $60.32, the last reported sale price of our common stock on June 9, 2026. The actual proceeds from the Selling Stockholder may be less than this amount depending on the number of shares of our common stock sold to the Selling Stockholder and the price at which such shares are sold. The purchase price per share that the Selling Stockholder will pay for shares of common stock purchased from us under the Purchase Agreement will fluctuate based on the market price of our shares at the time we elect to sell shares to the Selling Stockholder and, further, to the extent that the Company sells shares of common stock under the Purchase Agreement, substantial amounts of shares could be issued and resold, which would cause dilution and may impact the Company’s stock price. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to This Offering and Ownership of Our Securities — The sale and issuance of our common stock to the Selling Stockholder will cause dilution to our existing stockholders, and the sale of the shares of common stock acquired by the Selling Stockholder and/or other stockholders, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of our common stock to decline” for additional information.

	We intend to use the net proceeds obtained under the Purchase Agreement primarily for funding of ongoing operations, including expansion of capabilities and our product offerings, hiring employees, integration with the hardware of drone manufacturers, acquiring best-in-class technologies and world-class teams to expand our product portfolio and increase the impact created by our products on the battlefield, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. See the section titled “Use of Proceeds” for additional information.

Plan of Distribution (Conflict of Interest)	The Selling Stockholder will determine when and how it sells all or a portion of the shares of common stock offered pursuant to this prospectus as described in the section titled “Plan of Distribution (Conflict of Interest).”

Table of Contents



	Because the Selling Stockholder will receive all the net proceeds from such resales of our common stock made to the public through the Selling Stockholder, the Selling Stockholder is deemed to have a “conflict of interest” within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5121. Consequently, this offering will be conducted in compliance with the provisions of FINRA Rule 5121, which requires that a “qualified independent underwriter,” as defined in FINRA Rule 5121, participate in the preparation of the registration statement that includes this prospectus and exercise the usual standards of “due diligence” with respect thereto. Accordingly, we have engaged, a registered broker-dealer and FINRA member, Seaport, to be the qualified independent underwriter in this offering and, in such capacity, participate in the preparation of the registration statement that includes this prospectus and exercise the usual standards of “due diligence” with respect thereto. We have agreed to pay directly to Seaport a cash fee of $50,000 as consideration for its services and to reimburse Seaport up to $5,000 for its expenses incurred in connection with acting as the qualified independent underwriter in this offering on or prior to the Commencement Date. Seaport will receive no other compensation for acting as the qualified independent underwriter in this offering. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5121, the Selling Stockholder is not permitted to sell shares of our common stock in this offering to an account over which it exercises discretionary authority without the prior specific written approval of the account holder. See “Plan of Distribution (Conflict of Interest).”

Risk factors	You should read the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus beginning on page 16 and other information included in this prospectus for a discussion of factors to consider carefully before deciding to invest in shares of our common stock.

Unaudited pro forma net loss per common share, basic and diluted, attributable to common stockholders, is calculated giving effect to the conversion of all outstanding shares of our convertible preferred stock into shares of our common stock and the elimination of the change in fair value of SAFE liability. Unaudited pro forma net loss per share attributable to common stockholders does not include the shares sold and related proceeds received in our Initial Public Offering. Unaudited pro forma net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2025 was calculated using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, including the pro forma effect of the conversion of all outstanding shares of our convertible preferred stock into shares of our common stock, as if such conversion had occurred at the beginning of the period, or their issuance dates, if later. The information presented in this table does not give effect to the sale and issuance of our Series A-1 convertible preferred stock that occurred in January 2026 or the unvested stock at December 31, 2025.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, the section of this prospectus titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our financial statements and related notes appearing at the end of this prospectus, before investing in our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that affect us. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results and prospects could be materially harmed. In that event, the price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment. This prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth below.

Risks Related to this Offering

It is not possible to predict the actual number of shares of our common stock, if any, we will sell under the Purchase Agreement, or the actual gross proceeds resulting from those sales or the dilution to you from those sales. Further, our inability to access a part or all of the amount available under the Purchase Agreement, in the absence of any other financing sources, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Selling Stockholder has committed to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock from us, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The shares of our common stock that may be issued under the Purchase Agreement may be sold by us to the Selling Stockholder at our discretion from time to time over a 24- month period from the date of the Purchase Agreement, commencing after the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including that the SEC has declared effective the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

We generally have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our common stock to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement. Sales of our common stock, if any, to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined by us. We may ultimately decide to sell to the Selling Stockholder all, some or none of the common stock that may be available for us to sell pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

Because the purchase price per share of common stock to be paid by the Selling Stockholder for the common stock that we may elect to sell to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement, if any, will fluctuate based on the market prices of our common stock at the time we make such election, it is not possible for us to predict, as of the date of this prospectus and prior to any such sales, the number of shares of common stock that we will sell to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price per share that the Selling Stockholder will pay for the shares of common stock purchased from us under the Purchase Agreement, or the aggregate gross proceeds that we will receive from those purchases by the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement, if any.

The Selling Stockholder can resell, under this prospectus, up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock. If all of the 3,000,000 shares of our common stock shares offered by the Selling Stockholder under this prospectus were issued and outstanding as of the date hereof, such shares would represent approximately: (i) 21.1% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding and approximately 30.4% of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock held by non-affiliates and (ii) 21.1% of the total voting power of all classes of our capital stock outstanding, in each case as of the date hereof. Even if we elect to sell to the Selling Stockholder all of the 3,000,000 shares of common stock being registered for resale under this prospectus, depending on the market price of our common stock at the time we elect to sell shares to the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the actual gross proceeds from the sale of all such shares may be substantially less than the amount available to us under the Purchase Agreement, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity position. Further, if we are unable to access all or a portion of the amount available under the Purchase Agreement to meet our liquidity needs, we may be required to seek other financing sources and utilize more costly and time-consuming means of accessing the capital markets, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity and cash position.

If it becomes necessary for us to issue and sell to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement more than the 3,000,000 shares of common stock being registered for resale by the Selling Stockholder under the registration statement that includes this prospectus, then, in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we must first file with the SEC one or more additional registration statements to register the resale by the Selling Stockholder of any such additional shares of our common stock we wish to sell from time to time under the Purchase Agreement, which the SEC must declare effective, in each case before we may elect to sell

Table of Contents

any additional shares of our common stock to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement. The number of shares of common stock ultimately offered for resale by the Selling Stockholder through this prospectus is dependent upon the number of shares of common stock, if any, we elect to sell to the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

Investors who buy shares of common stock from the Selling Stockholder at different times will likely pay different prices.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we have discretion, to vary the timing, price and number of shares of common stock we sell to the Selling Stockholder. If and when we elect to sell shares of common stock to the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, after the Selling Stockholder has acquired such shares, the Selling Stockholder may resell all, some or none of such shares at any time or from time to time in its sole discretion and at different prices. As a result, investors who purchase shares from the Selling Stockholder in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices for those shares, and so may experience different levels of dilution and in some cases substantial dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase from the Selling Stockholder in this offering as a result of future sales made by us to the Selling Stockholder at prices lower than the prices such investors paid for their shares in this offering. In addition, if we sell a substantial number of shares to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement, or if investors expect that we will do so, the actual sales of shares or the mere existence of our arrangements with the Selling Stockholder may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect such sales.

The sale and issuance of our common stock to the Selling Stockholder will cause dilution to our existing stockholders, and the sale of the shares of common stock acquired by the Selling Stockholder and/or other stockholders, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time, subject to the restrictions and limitations described below. If our stockholders sell, or the market perceives that our stockholders intend to sell, substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market following this offering, the market price of our common stock could decline significantly.

The Selling Stockholder can resell, under this prospectus, up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock. If all of the 3,000,000 shares of our common stock shares offered by the Selling Stockholder under this prospectus were issued and outstanding as of the date hereof, such shares would represent approximately: (i) 21.1% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding and approximately 30.4% of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock held by non-affiliates and (ii) 21.1% of the total voting power of all classes of our capital stock outstanding, in each case as of the date hereof. After the Selling Stockholder has acquired the shares, the Selling Stockholder may resell all, some, or none of those shares at any time or from time to time in its discretion. Therefore, sales to the Selling Stockholder by us could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. Additionally, sales of a substantial number of our shares of common stock in the public market by the Selling Stockholder and/or by our other existing stockholders, or the perception that those sales might occur, could depress the market price of our shares of common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.

We may use proceeds from sales of our common stock made pursuant to the Purchase Agreement in ways with which you may not agree or in ways which may not yield a significant return.

We will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from sales of our common stock made pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, including for any of the purposes described in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds,” and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. While we expect to use the net proceeds from this offering as set forth in “Use of Proceeds,” we are not obligated to do so. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. The failure by us to apply these funds effectively could harm our business, and the net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not increase our operating results or enhance the value of our common stock.

Table of Contents

The trading price of the shares of our common stock could be highly volatile, and purchasers of our common stock could incur substantial losses.

The trading price of our common stock is volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control, including limited trading volume. The market price for our common stock may be influenced by those factors discussed in this “Risk Factors” section and others, including:

●

regulatory or legal developments in the U.S. and foreign countries;

●

announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

●

the degree and rate of market adoption of any of our current and future products;

●

development, supply or distribution delays or shortages;

●

any changes to our relationship with any developers, suppliers, collaborators or other strategic partners;

●

achievement of expected product sales and profitability;

●

variations in our financial results or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to us, including variations from expectations of securities analysts or investors;

●

market conditions and issuance of securities analysts’ reports or recommendations;

●

trading volume of our common stock;

●

an inability to obtain additional funding or obtaining funding on unattractive terms;

●

sales of our stock by us, our insiders or our stockholders, as well as the anticipation of lock-up releases;

●

general economic, industry and market conditions other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control;

●

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our financial condition and results of operations;

●

announcement or progression of geopolitical events, including in relation to the military invasion by Russia in Ukraine and the conflicts in the Middle East;

●

additions or departures of senior management or key personnel;

●

intellectual property, product liability or other litigation against us or our inability to enforce our intellectual property;

●

changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of securities and the incurrence of additional debt; and

●

changes in accounting standards, policies, guidelines, interpretations or principles.

These and other market and industry factors may cause the market price and demand for our common stock to fluctuate substantially, regardless of our actual operating performance, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their common stock and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of the trading market for our common stock.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

We have incurred significant operating losses since inception and cannot assure you that we will ever achieve or sustain profitability.

Since our inception, we have incurred significant net losses. Our net losses were $4.5 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $15.1 million. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through sales of our equity securities.

We expect our operating expenses to increase significantly as we pursue our growth strategy, including expending substantial resources for research, development and marketing. The extent of our future operating losses and the timing of profitability are highly uncertain, and we expect to continue incurring significant expenses and operating losses over the next several years. Any additional operating losses may have an adverse effect on our stockholders’ equity and the price of our common stock, and we cannot assure you that we will ever be able to achieve profitability.

Even if we achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase such profitability. Additionally, our costs may increase in future periods and we may expend substantial financial and other resources on, among other things, sales and marketing, the hiring of additional officers, employees, contractors and other service providers, and general administration, which may include a significant increase in legal and accounting expenses related to public company compliance, continued compliance and various regulations applicable to our business or arising from the growth and maturity of our company. Our failure to become and remain profitable would depress the value of our company and could impair our ability to raise capital, expand our business, maintain our development efforts, obtain regulatory approvals, diversify our product and service offerings or continue our operations, and may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

We have significant dependence on a small number of customers, and the loss of such customers or a decrease in business conducted with such customers could materially harm our business, financial condition or results of operations. While one customer accounted for substantially all of our revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we have not received new orders from such customer and do not expect to receive new orders from such customer in the future.

Because we have only recently launched our products, a small number of customers have accounted for a substantial amount of our revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, one customer accounted for substantially all of our revenue. While we continue to provide ongoing service in accordance with our obligations under the existing licensing agreement with such customer, we have not received new orders from such customer and we do not expect to receive new orders from such customer in the future.

Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will continue to conduct business with this customer in the future. We may be unable to replace this key customer with a similar relationship in a timely manner or at all, and the inability to replace this key customer could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Failure to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and stock value.

As a public company, we are required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires our management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. To comply with the requirements of being a public company, we will need to upgrade our systems, including information technology, implement additional financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures and hire additional accounting, finance, and legal staff.

We have identified the following material weaknesses in the design of our internal controls:

●

We have not designed and implemented controls to ensure we can record, process, summarize, and report financial data.

●

We have not yet designed and implemented user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties that would adequately restrict user and privileged access to the financially relevant systems and data to appropriate personnel.

Table of Contents

●

We did not design and maintain effective controls associated with the timing of when we recognized revenue, and controls related to the timing of when we accrue and recognize expenses.

●

We also do not have a properly designed internal control system that identifies critical processes and key controls.

We are in the process of remediating such material weaknesses and there can be no assurance as to when or if we will fully remediate such material weaknesses.

Our efforts to develop and maintain our internal controls may not be successful, and we may be unable to maintain effective controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future and comply with the certification and reporting obligations under Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Any failure to maintain effective controls or any difficulties encountered in our implementation or improvement of our internal controls over financial reporting could result in material misstatements that are not prevented or detected on a timely basis, which could potentially subject us to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities. Ineffective internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information.

Our growth depends in part on the success of our strategic partnerships with third parties, who may also be customers, as well as on our ability to establish a broad range of additional ecosystem partners and customer relationships with leading global defense industrial vendors.

In order to grow our business, we depend on partnerships with market-leading technology and defense industrial companies, who may also be our customers, in order to accelerate the adoption of our solutions. If we are unsuccessful in maintaining our partnership and customer relationships with third parties, or if our partnerships do not provide us with the anticipated benefits, our ability to compete in the marketplace or to grow our revenue could be impaired and our operating results may suffer. In addition, adoption of our Swarmer OS, Swarmer AI (“Swarmer AI”) and Swarmer UI (“Swarmer UI”) solutions requires us to establish additional ecosystem relationships with leading global defense industrial vendors and customers. Even if we are successful in executing these partnerships and integrating with additional ecosystem vendors, we cannot assure you that these partnerships and relationships will result in increased adoption of our technology or increased revenue.

If the unmanned systems markets do not experience significant growth, if we cannot expand our customer base or if our software and systems do not achieve broad acceptance, then we may not be able to achieve our anticipated level of growth.

We cannot accurately predict the future growth rates or sizes of the markets for our software and systems. Demand for our software and systems may not increase, or may decrease, either generally or in specific markets, for particular types of software and systems or during particular time periods. We believe the market for commercial unmanned systems is nascent and the expansion of the market for our software and systems in particular, depends on a number of factors, including the following:

●

customer satisfaction with these types of systems as solutions;

●

the cost, performance and reliability of our products and products offered by our competitors;

●

customer perceptions regarding the effectiveness and value of these types of systems;

●

obtaining timely regulatory approvals for new customer deployments; and

●

marketing efforts and publicity regarding these types of systems and services.

Even if commercial unmanned systems gain wide market acceptance, our software and systems may not adequately address market requirements and may not continue to gain market acceptance. If these types of systems generally, or our software and systems specifically, do not gain wide market acceptance, then we may not be able to achieve our anticipated level of growth and our revenue and results of operations would decline.

Negative customer perception regarding the commercial unmanned systems industry could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our products and our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We believe the commercial unmanned systems industry is highly dependent upon customer perception regarding the safety, efficacy, and quality of the commercial unmanned systems deployed. Customer perception of these products can be significantly

Table of Contents

influenced by scientific research or findings, regulatory investigations, litigation, media attention, and other publicity. There can be no assurance that future scientific research, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention, or other research findings or publicity will be favorable to the unmanned systems market. Future research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity that are perceived as less favorable than, or that question, earlier research reports, findings or publicity could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our products and the business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. The dependence upon customer perceptions means that adverse scientific research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity, whether or not accurate or with merit, could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our products, and the business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

There are difficult issues to navigate in the development and use of AI, which may result in reputational harm or liability, and failure to introduce new and innovative products that have AI capabilities could put us at a competitive disadvantage.

We currently incorporate machine learning and AI capabilities into certain of our products and solutions and may seek to expand the use of AI in our offerings in the future. As with many innovations, AI presents risks, challenges, and unintended consequences that could affect our business. AI algorithms and training methodologies may be flawed. These deficiencies and other failures of AI systems could subject us to competitive harm, regulatory action, legal liability, and brand or reputational harm. Further, incorporating AI could give rise to litigation risk and risk of non-compliance and unknown cost of compliance, as AI is an emerging technology for which the legal and regulatory landscape is not fully developed (including potential liability for breaching intellectual property or privacy rights or laws). While new AI initiatives, laws, and regulations are emerging and evolving, what they ultimately will look like remains uncertain, and our obligation to comply with them could entail significant costs, negatively affect our business, or entirely limit our ability to incorporate certain AI capabilities into our offerings.

Additionally, leveraging AI capabilities to potentially improve internal functions and operations presents further risks and challenges. The use of AI to support business operations carries inherent risks related to data privacy and security, such as intended, unintended, or inadvertent transmission of proprietary, sensitive or export-controlled information, as well as challenges related to implementing and maintaining AI tools. Additionally, our competitors might move faster than us to gain efficiencies by incorporating AI into their design and development processes, and our products and/or cost structure could become less competitive as a result. The rapid evolution of AI will require the application of resources by us to develop, test and maintain our products, services and operations to help ensure that AI is implemented ethically in order to minimize unintended, harmful impact.

Our competitors may be faster or more successful than we are in incorporating AI and other disruptive technology into their offerings, which would impair our ability to compete successfully.

Failure to manage our planned growth could place a significant strain on our resources.

Our ability to successfully implement our business plan requires an effective plan for managing our future growth. We plan to increase the scope of our operations. Current and future expansion efforts will be expensive and may significantly strain our managerial and other resources and ability to manage working capital. To manage future growth effectively, we must manage expanded operations, integrate new personnel and maintain and enhance our financial and accounting systems and controls. If we do not manage growth properly, it could harm our business, financial condition or results of operations and make it difficult for us to satisfy our debt obligations.

We may be unsuccessful in achieving our organic growth strategies, which could limit our revenue growth or financial performance. Our ability to generate organic growth will be affected by our ability to, among other things:

●

attract new customers;

●

increase the number of products purchased from customers;

●

maintain profitable gross margins in the sale and maintenance of our products;

●

increase the number of projects performed for existing customers;

●

achieve the estimated revenue we announced from new customer contracts;

●

hire and retain qualified employees;

Table of Contents

●

expand the range of our software and systems we offer to customers to address their evolving needs;

●

expand geographically; and

●

address the challenges presented by difficult and unpredictable global and regional economic or market conditions that may affect us or our customers.

Many of the factors affecting our ability to generate organic growth may be beyond our control, and we cannot be certain that our strategies for achieving internal growth will be attempted, realized or successful.

If we are unable to hire, retain, train, and motivate qualified personnel, particularly software engineers, our business could suffer.

Our ability to compete in the highly competitive technology industry depends upon our ability to attract, motivate, and retain qualified personnel, particularly software engineers. We are highly dependent on the continued contributions of our engineering team, including their expertise in AI and technology. These contributions are integral to our growth and would be difficult to replace. Currently, some of our key engineering personnel are at-will employees or are independent contractors and may terminate their employment relationship with us at any time. The loss of the services of our key engineering personnel, and our inability to find suitable replacements, could result in a decline in sales, delays in product development, and harm to our business and operations.

We face intense competition for qualified engineering personnel, and it can often be difficult to find personnel knowledgeable in AI and engineering. We incur costs related to attracting, relocating, and retaining such qualified personnel in highly competitive markets. Further, many of the companies with which we compete for qualified personnel have greater resources than we have. Additionally, laws and regulations, such as restrictive immigration laws, may limit our ability to recruit outside. If we fail to attract new personnel or to retain our current personnel, our business and operations could be harmed.

In addition, because we have significant operations in Ukraine, it is particularly challenging to hire qualified engineers. See “— Our international business operations are subject to unique risks and challenges that create increased uncertainty in these markets” below.

If we fail to retain our existing customers or do not acquire new customers in a cost-effective manner, our revenue may decrease and our business, financial condition or results of operations may be harmed.

We believe that our success is dependent on our ability to continue identifying and anticipating the needs of our customers, to retain our existing customers and to add new customers. For example, our business plan is designed to penetrate large, critical infrastructure end markets with our unmanned systems driven data solutions and have expanded our dedicated sales resources and field personnel to broaden our marketing and field support efforts into new industries and sectors. However, as we become larger through organic growth, the growth rates for customer engagement, project volume and average spend per customer may slow, even if we continue to add customers on an absolute basis. In addition, the costs associated with customer retention may be substantially lower than costs associated with the acquisition of new customers. Therefore, our failure to retain existing customers, even if such losses are offset by an increase in revenue resulting from the acquisition of new customers, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Additionally, while a key part of our business strategy is to add customers in our existing geographic markets, we expect to expand our operations into new geographic markets. In doing so, we may incur losses or otherwise fail to enter new markets successfully. Our expansion into new markets may place us in unfamiliar and competitive environments and involve various risks, including the need to invest significant resources and the possibility that returns on such investments will not be achieved for several years or at all.

Adverse changes in the economy could negatively impact our business.

Future economic distress may result in a decrease in demand for our products, which could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition. Uncertainty and adverse changes in the economy could also increase costs associated with developing and publishing products, increase the cost and decrease the availability of sources of financing, and increase our exposure to material losses from bad debts, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and operating results.

Table of Contents

Project performance delays or difficulties, including those caused by third parties, or certain contractual obligations may result in additional costs to us, reductions in revenues or the payment of liquidated damages.

Many projects involve challenging engineering or installation phases that may occur over extended time periods. We may encounter difficulties as a result of delays or difficulties in equipment and material delivery, schedule changes, delays from our customer’s failure to timely obtain permits or meet other regulatory requirements including the securing of necessary regulatory approvals, approvals in relevant foreign jurisdictions, weather-related delays and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, that impact our ability to complete the project in accordance with the original delivery schedule. Any delay or failure by customers in the completion of their portion of the project may be beyond our control and may result in delays in the overall progress of the project or may cause us to incur additional costs, or both. Delays and additional costs may be substantial, and, in some cases, we may be required to compensate the customer for such delays. Delays may also disrupt the final completion of our contracts as well as the corresponding recognition of revenues and expenses therefrom. In certain circumstances, we guarantee project completion by a scheduled acceptance date or achievement of certain acceptance and performance testing levels; failure to meet any of our guarantees, schedules or performance requirements could also result in additional costs or penalties to us, including obligations to pay liquidated damages, and such amounts could exceed expected project profit. In extreme cases, the above-mentioned factors could cause project cancellations, and we may be unable to replace such projects with similar projects or at all. Such delays or cancellations may impact our reputation, brand or relationships with customers, adversely affecting our ability to secure new contracts.

We do not control the manufacturing process or delivery to end-users of the hardware platforms in which our software platforms and AI systems are deployed.

As we do not control the manufacturing process or delivery to end-users of the hardware platforms in which our software platforms and AI systems are deployed, we are exposed to risks in connection with the quality assurance of the manufacturing process and the disruption of shipments to end-users. If our customers and/or their hardware platforms we depend on experience disruptions, security issues, or other performance deficiencies, if their hardware platforms are updated such that our software becomes incompatible, if their hardware platforms fail or becomes unavailable due to extended outages, interruptions, defects, or otherwise, if delivery of hardware platforms to end-users is disrupted, or if our customers are no longer able to secure materials on commercially reasonable terms or prices (or at all) to produce their respective hardware products, these issues could cause our revenue and margins to decline, result in errors or defects in the deployment of our software, or cause our reputation and brand to be damaged, and we could be exposed to legal or contractual liability, our expenses could increase, our ability to manage our operations could be interrupted, and our processes for managing our sales and servicing our customers could be impaired until customers with equivalent hardware platforms, if available, are identified, all of which may take significant time and resources, increase our costs, and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation.

Because our solutions are all software driven, we rely on the technology and infrastructure of third parties to deliver our software and systems. We do not have control over the operations of the facilities of the third parties that we use. If any of these third-parties and/or their hardware products we depend on experience disruptions, security issues, or other performance deficiencies, if they are updated such that our software becomes incompatible, if hardware fails or becomes unavailable due to extended outages, interruptions, defects, or otherwise, or if they are no longer available on commercially reasonable terms or prices (or at all), these issues could result in errors or defects in our software, cause our software to fail, cause our revenue and margins to decline, or cause our reputation and brand to be damaged, and we could be exposed to legal or contractual liability, our expenses could increase, our ability to manage our operations could be interrupted, and our processes for managing our sales and servicing our customers could be impaired until equivalent hardware, if available, is identified, procured, and implemented, all of which may take significant time and resources, increase our costs, and could adversely affect our business. Many of these third-party providers attempt to impose limitations on their liability for such errors, disruptions, defects, performance deficiencies, or failures, and if enforceable, we may have additional liability to our customers or third-party providers.

Material delays or defaults in customer payments could leave us unable to cover expenditures related to such customer’s projects, including the payment of our subcontractors.

Because of the nature of most of our contracts, we commit resources to projects prior to receiving payments from our customers in amounts sufficient to cover expenditures as they are incurred. In certain cases, these expenditures include paying our contractors. If

Table of Contents

a customer defaults in making its payments on a project or projects to which we have devoted significant resources, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Certain of our officers, employees, contractors and other service providers may work on projects that are inherently dangerous, and a failure to maintain a safe worksite could result in significant losses.

Certain of our project sites can place our officers, employees, contractors and other service providers and others, including third parties, in difficult or dangerous environments, and may involve difficult and hard to reach terrain, high elevation, or locations near large or complex equipment, moving vehicles, high voltage or other safety hazards or dangerous processes. Safety is a primary focus of our business and maintaining a good reputation for safety is critical to our business. Many of our customers require that we meet certain safety criteria to be eligible to bid on contracts. We maintain programs with the primary purpose of implementing effective health, safety and environmental procedures throughout our company.

Maintaining such programs involves variable costs which may increase as governmental, regulatory and industry safety standards evolve, and any increase in such costs may materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Further, if we fail to implement appropriate safety procedures or if our procedures fail, our officers, employees, contractors and other service providers, including third parties, may suffer injuries. Failure to comply with such procedures, client contracts or applicable regulations, or the occurrence of such injuries, could subject us to material losses and liability and may adversely impact our ability to obtain projects in the future or to hire and retain talented officers, employees, contractors, and other services providers, therefore materially adversely affecting our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our products may be subject to a lengthy sales cycle and our customers may cancel or change their product plans after we have expended substantial time and resources in the design of their products.

Many of our customers are conservative in their decision-making process. Sales cycles for new customers can vary in time depending on the complexity of the customer’s network, whether the customer is subject to governmental regulations, and annual budget cycles. During the potentially lengthy sales cycle, our potential customers may cancel or change their product plans. Customers may also discontinue products incorporating our software at any time or they may choose to replace our products with lower cost software. In addition, we are working with leading customers in our target markets to define our future products. If customers cancel, reduce or delay product orders from us, or choose not to release products that incorporate our software after we have spent substantial time and resources developing such products or assisting customers with their product design, our revenue levels may be less than anticipated and our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

Our marketing efforts depend significantly on our ability to receive positive references from our existing customers.

Our marketing efforts depend significantly on our ability to call on our current and past customers to provide positive references to new, potential customers. A material portion of our current pipeline activity is concentrated in the defense sector. Given our limited number of customers, the loss or dissatisfaction of any customer could substantially harm our brand and reputation, inhibit the market acceptance of our software and systems, and impair our ability to attract new customers and maintain existing customers.

Further, as we expand into new vertical and geographic end markets, references from existing customers could be similarly important. Any of these consequences could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Real or perceived design flaws, errors, defects, glitches, bugs or malfunctions (collectively, flaws) in our software platforms and AI systems, failure of our software platforms and AI systems to perform as expected, connectivity issues or user errors can result in lower than expected return on investment for customers, unintended personal injury or property damage and significant security or safety concerns, each of which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or reputation.

The design, development and use of our software platforms and AI systems involve certain inherent risks. New software products generally suffer from flaws that are found, often as a result of customer use, and fixed over time. Real or perceived flaws in our products, connectivity issues, unanticipated or unintended use of our products, user errors or inadequate disclosure of risks relating to the use of our products, among others, can lead to injury, property damage or other adverse events. We have conducted, are conducting and plan to continue to conduct extensive testing of our software platforms and AI systems, in some instances in collaboration with our customers, to ensure that any such issues can be identified and addressed. However, we may not be able to identify all such issues or, if identified, efforts to address them may not be effective in all cases, and our product testing may not be

Table of Contents

adequate. We plan to conduct investigations, where applicable, to identify the cause or causes of incidents and, when appropriate, implement changes to testing protocols or to the products to prevent such incidents from reoccurring. However, any implemented improvements may not fully prevent similar or other incidents in the future. Moreover, because of the size and weight of the third-party systems that may in the future use our software platforms and AI systems and related products, and the nature and variability of the environments in which we expect this software to be used, adverse events relating to the use of our products could include significant unintended injuries or death. To the extent that flaws or connectivity issues are discovered during or after product development, we may experience delays in the development and/or sale of our products while the issues are resolved. For example, we continue our efforts to increase product reliability and stability and conduct ordinary course product testing and debugging have at times resulted in product development delays. If any flaws and related issues that may arise cannot be adequately resolved, product sales may not occur and/or resume.

In addition, we may not be aware of defects until unintended injury to person or property has occurred. Such adverse events could lead to safety alerts relating to our software platforms and AI systems (either voluntary or required by governmental authorities), and could result, in certain cases, in the removal of our products from the market. Defects could also result in negative publicity, damage to our reputation or, in the event of regulatory developments, delays in new product approvals.

Complex software may frequently experience errors, especially when first introduced. Our products are complex and may experience errors or performance problems in the future. A failure of any part of our software platforms and AI systems or related products could result in unintended property damage, serious injury or even death. We plan to implement bug fixes and upgrades as part of our regular software maintenance, which may lead to downtime. Even if we are able to implement bug fixes and upgrades in a timely manner, customers and operators also may fail to install updates and fixes to the software for several reasons, including poor connectivity or inattention. Any such occurrence could cause delay in market acceptance of our software platforms and AI systems, damage to our reputation, increased service and warranty costs, product liability claims and loss of revenue.

We anticipate that in the ordinary course of business we may be subject to product liability claims alleging defects in the design of our software platforms and AI systems. A product liability claim, regardless of its merit or eventual outcome, could result in significant legal defense costs and high punitive damage payments, damage our reputation or require significant costs to redesign or fix our software or products.

Third-party systems that use our software platforms and AI systems will contain complex technology and must be used as designed and intended in order to operate safely and effectively. Even if our software platforms and AI systems are used as designed and intended, customers may not operate complex third-party systems that use our products safely and effectively. In addition, we cannot predict all the ways in which the proper use or misuse of our products can lead to unintended injury or damage to property, and our training resources and safety systems may not be successful at preventing all incidents. If unintended personal injury or damage to property were to occur while operating our products in a manner consistent with our training and instructions or otherwise, we could be exposed to liability and our results of operations, financial condition and reputation may be adversely affected.

The operation of unmanned systems in urban environments may be subject to risks, such as accidental collisions and transmission interference, which may limit demand for our software platforms and AI systems in such environments and harm our business and operating results.

Urban environments may present certain challenges to the operators of unmanned systems. Unmanned systems may accidentally collide with aircraft, persons or property, which could result in unintended injury, death or property damage and significantly damage the reputation of and support for unmanned systems in general. As the usage of unmanned systems has increased, particularly by military end-users, the danger of such collisions has increased. In addition, obstructions to effective transmissions in urban environments, such as large buildings, may limit the ability of the operator to utilize the aircraft for its intended purpose. The risks or limitations of operating unmanned systems in urban environments may limit their value in such environments, which may limit demand for software platforms and AI systems and consequently materially harm our business and operating results.

Table of Contents

Our technology, software and systems have only been developed in the last several years and we have had only limited opportunities to deploy and assess their performance in the field at full scale.

The current generation of our Swarmer OS, Swarmer AI and Swarmer UI technology platforms have only been developed in the last several years and will continue to evolve. Deploying and operating our technology is complex and, is done primarily by a small number of customers. As the number, size and complexity of our deployments grow, we may encounter unforeseen operational, technical and other challenges, some of which could cause significant delays, trigger contractual penalties, result in unanticipated expenses, and/or damage to our reputation, each of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we fail to respond to evolving technological changes, our software and systems could become obsolete or less competitive.

We operate in highly competitive industries characterized by new and rapidly evolving technologies, standards, regulations, customer requirements, as well as frequent product introductions and revisions. Accordingly, our operating results depend upon our ability to develop and introduce new software and systems, our ability to reduce production costs of our existing products. The process of developing new technologies and products is complex, and if we are unable to develop enhancements to, and new features for, our existing software and systems or acceptable new software and systems that keep pace with technological developments or industry standards, our products may become obsolete, less marketable and less competitive and our business, financial condition or results of operations could be significantly harmed.

We depend on our ability to develop new products and to enhance and sustain the quality of existing products.

Our growth and future success will depend, in part, on our ability to continue to design and develop new competitive products and to enhance and sustain the quality and marketability of our existing products. As such, we have made, and expect to continue to make, substantial investments in technology development. In the future, we may not have the necessary capital, or access to capital on acceptable terms, to fund necessary levels of research and development. Even with adequate capital resources, we may nonetheless experience unforeseen problems in the development or performance of our technologies or products. In addition, we may not meet our product development schedules and, even if we do, we may not develop new products fast enough to provide sufficient differentiation from our competitors’ products, which may be more successful.

We expect to incur substantial research and development costs and devote significant resources to identifying and commercializing new software and systems, which could significantly reduce our profitability and may never result in revenue to us.

Our future growth depends on penetrating new markets, adapting existing products to new applications and new environments, and introducing new software and systems that achieve market acceptance. We plan to incur substantial research and development costs as part of our efforts to design, develop and commercialize new software and systems and enhance existing products. Further, our research and development programs may not produce successful results, and our new software and systems may not achieve market acceptance, create additional revenue or become profitable, which could materially harm our business, prospects, financial results and liquidity.

If our products do not interoperate with our customers’ other systems, the purchase or deployment of our software and systems may be delayed or cancelled.

Our products are designed to interface with our customers’ other systems, each of which may have different specifications and utilize multiple protocol standards and products from other vendors. Our products will be required to interoperate with many or all of these products as well as future products in order to meet our customers’ requirements. If we find errors in the existing software or defects in the hardware used in our customers’ systems, we may need to modify our products or services to fix or overcome these errors so that our products will interoperate with the existing software and hardware, which could be costly and negatively affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, if our software and systems do not interoperate with our customers’ systems, customers may seek to hold us liable, demand for our products could be adversely affected or orders for our products could be delayed or cancelled. This could hurt our operating results, damage our reputation or brand, and seriously harm our prospects, business, financial condition or results of operations.

We operate in competitive markets.

We face competition and new competitors will continue to emerge throughout the world. Services offered by our competitors may take a larger share of customer spending than anticipated, which could cause revenue generated from our software and systems to fall below expectations. It is expected that competition in these markets will intensify. If our competitors develop and market more successful products or services, offer competitive software and systems at lower price points, or if we do not produce consistently high-quality and well-received software and systems, our revenues, margins, and profitability will decline.

Our ability to compete effectively will depend on, among other things, the pricing of our services and products, quality of customer service and field support, development of new and enhanced software and systems in response to customer demands and changing technology, reach and quality of sales and distribution channels and capital resources. Competition could lead to a reduction in the rate at which we add new customers, a decrease in the size of our market share and a decline in our customers. Additionally, peace and cessation of conflicts may work against our competitive advantage, as we rely on deployment missions to continue our machine learning/AI capabilities.

We depend, in part, on the performance of Serhii Kupriienko, our Chief Executive Officer (Global) and Alexander Fink, our Chief Executive Officer (U.S.) and President to operate and grow our business. The loss of Messrs. Kupriienko or Fink could negatively impact our ability to execute our business strategies. Although we have entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Kupriienko and Fink, we may be unable to retain them or replace them if we lose their services for any reason.

Our future success will also depend on our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled management, product development, software engineers, operations, sales, technical and other personnel in the U.S., Ukraine and elsewhere abroad. Even in today’s economic climate, competition for these types of personnel is intense. Given the potentially lengthy sales cycles deployment periods of our software platforms and AI systems, the loss of key personnel at any time could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Cyberattacks through security vulnerabilities could lead to disruption of business, reduced revenue, increased costs, liability claims, or harm to our reputation or competitive position.

We have in the past and may again in the future be targeted by cyberattacks. Security vulnerabilities may arise from our software, employees, contractors or policies we have deployed, which may result in external parties gaining access to our networks, datacenters, cloud datacenters, corporate computers, systems, and or access to accounts we have at our suppliers, vendors, and customers. They may gain access to our data or our users’ or customers’ data or attack the networks causing denial of service or attempt to hold our data or systems in ransom. The vulnerability could be caused by inadequate account security practices such as failure to timely remove employee access when terminated. To mitigate these security issues, we have implemented measures throughout our organization, including firewalls, backups, encryption, employee information technology policies and user account policies. However, there can be no assurance these measures will be sufficient to avoid future cyberattacks. If any of these types of security breaches were to occur and we were unable to protect sensitive data, our relationships with our business partners and customers could be materially damaged, our reputation could be materially harmed, and we could be exposed to a risk of litigation and possible significant liability.

Further, if we fail to adequately maintain our infrastructure, we may have outages and data loss. Excessive outages may affect our ability to timely and efficiently deliver products to customers or develop new products and solutions. Such disruptions and data loss may adversely impact our ability to fulfill orders, patent our intellectual property or protect our source code, and interrupt other processes. Delayed sales or lost customers resulting from these disruptions could adversely affect our financial results, stock price and reputation.

Unauthorized use or disclosure of, or access to, any personal information maintained by us or on our behalf, whether through breach of our systems, breach of the systems of our suppliers or vendors by an unauthorized party, or through employee or contractor error, theft or misuse, or otherwise, could harm our business. If any such unauthorized use or disclosure of, or access to, such personal information was to occur, our operations could be seriously disrupted, and we could be subject to demands, claims and litigation by private parties, and investigations, related actions, and penalties by regulatory authorities. In addition, we could incur significant costs in notifying affected persons and entities and otherwise complying with the multitude of foreign, federal, state and local laws and

Table of Contents

regulations relating to the unauthorized access to, or use or disclosure of, personal information. Finally, any perceived or actual unauthorized access to, or use or disclosure of, such information could harm our reputation, substantially impair our ability to attract and retain customers and have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Disruptions of the information technology systems or infrastructure of certain of our third-party vendors and service providers could also disrupt our businesses, damage our reputation, increase our costs, and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We rely heavily on the communications and information systems of third parties to conduct our business. For instance, we rely on common cloud infrastructure, such as cloud infrastructure operated by Amazon Web Services (“AWS”), Microsoft Azure (“Azure”) and Google Cloud (“Google”) to host or operate some or all of certain key products or functions of our business. Our customers need to be able to access our systems at any time, without interruption or degradation of performance. Our technological infrastructure depends, in part, on the virtual cloud infrastructure hosted by AWS, Azure and Google. Although we have disaster recovery plans that utilize multiple AWS, Azure and Google locations, any incident affecting their infrastructure could adversely affect our cloud-native platform. While we are able to manage a temporary service disruption of any single provider, a prolonged AWS, Azure or Google service disruption affecting our cloud-native platform, or a service disruption impacting each of AWS, Azure and Google simultaneously, would adversely impact our ability to service our customers and could damage our reputation with current and potential customers, expose us to liability, result in substantial costs for remediation, could cause us to lose customers, or otherwise harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may also incur significant costs for using alternative hosting sources or taking other actions in preparation for, or in reaction to, events that damage the AWS, Azure or Google services we use. Additionally, in the event that our AWS, Azure or Google service agreements are terminated, or there is a lapse of service, elimination of AWS, Azure or Google services or features that we utilize, or damage to such facilities, we could experience interruptions in access to our systems as well as significant delays and additional expenses in arranging for or creating new facilities or re-architecting our systems for deployment on a different cloud infrastructure service provider, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

All of our revenue is derived from our operations outside the U.S., which exposes us to risks inherent in doing business in each of the countries in which we operate, including Ukraine.

The global nature of our business and the significance of our international revenue create various domestic and local regulatory challenges and subject us to risks associated with our international operations. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, all of our revenues were from non-U.S. operations in Ukraine. Operations in countries other than the U.S., including Ukraine, are subject to various risks, including:

●

global political, economic and market conditions, political disturbances, war, terrorist attacks, changes in global trade policies and tariffs, weak local economic conditions and international currency fluctuations;

●

general global economic repercussions related to U.S. and global inflationary pressures and potential recessionary concerns;

●

failure to ensure on-going compliance with current and future laws and government regulations, including but not limited to those related to the military invasion by Russia in Ukraine, and environmental and tax and accounting laws, rules and regulations;

●

changes in, and the administration of, treaties, laws, and regulations, including in response to issues related to the military invasion by Russia in Ukraine and the conflicts in the Middle East, and the potential for such issues to exacerbate other risks we face;

●

exposure to expropriation of our assets, deprivation of contract rights or other governmental actions;

●

social unrest, acts of terrorism, war or other armed conflict;

●

fraud and political corruption;

●

varying international laws and regulations;

●

adequate responses to a pandemic and related restrictions;

Table of Contents

●

confiscatory taxation or other adverse tax policies;

●

trade and economic sanctions or other restrictions imposed by the EU, the United Kingdom, the U.S. or other countries, including in response to the military invasion by Russia in Ukraine;

●

conflicts between compliance with anti-bribery and anticorruption laws and existing local customs and practices leading to exposure under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 or similar governmental legislation in other countries; and

●

restrictions on the repatriation of income or capital.

We operate in areas of the world that experience corruption by government officials to some degree and, in certain circumstances, compliance with anti-bribery and anticorruption laws may conflict with local customs and practices. In addition, Ukrainian markets have historically experienced heightened volatility due to the uncertainties generated by corruption and bribery allegations and investigations of certain prominent politicians. In addition, certain media posts and reports of corruption, or allegations of corruption, in Ukraine may have an adverse effect on the public perception and reputation of companies conducting business in Ukraine and may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. Our value and stock price could also be adversely affected by illegal activities by others, corruption or by claims, even if groundless, implicating us in illegal activities.

We may pursue additional strategic transactions in the future, which could be difficult to implement, disrupt our business or change our business profile significantly.

We intend to consider additional potential strategic transactions, which could involve acquisitions of businesses or assets, joint ventures or investments in businesses, products or technologies that expand, complement or otherwise relate to our current or future business. We may also consider, from time to time, opportunities to engage in joint ventures or other business collaborations with third parties to address particular market segments. Should our relationships fail to materialize into significant agreements, or should we fail to work efficiently with these companies, we may lose sales and marketing opportunities and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

These activities, if successful, create risks such as, among others: (i) the need to integrate and manage the businesses and products acquired with our own business and products; (ii) additional demands on our resources, systems, procedures and controls; (iii) disruption of our ongoing business; (iv) potential unknown or unquantifiable liabilities associated with the target company; and (v) diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns. Moreover, these transactions could involve: (i) substantial investment of funds or financings by issuance of debt or equity securities; (ii) substantial investment with respect to technology transfers and operational integration; and (iii) the acquisition or disposition of product lines or businesses. Also, such activities could result in one-time charges and expenses and have the potential to either dilute the interests of our existing stockholders or result in the issuance of, or assumption of debt. Such acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other business collaborations may involve significant commitments of financial and other resources. Any such activities may not be successful in generating revenue, income or other returns, and any resources we committed to such activities will not be available to us for other purposes. Moreover, if we are unable to access the capital markets on acceptable terms or at all, we may not be able to consummate acquisitions, or may have to do so on the basis of a less than optimal capital structure. Our inability to take advantage of growth opportunities or address risks associated with acquisitions or investments in businesses may negatively affect our operating results.

Additionally, any impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets acquired in an acquisition or in an investment, or charges to earnings associated with any acquisition or investment activity, may materially reduce our earnings. Future acquisitions or joint ventures may not result in their anticipated benefits, and we may not be able to properly integrate acquired products, technologies or businesses with our existing products and operations or successfully combine personnel and cultures. Failure to do so could deprive us of the intended benefits of those acquisitions.

If we are required to write down goodwill and other intangible assets, our financial condition and results could be negatively affected.

Goodwill impairment arises when there is deterioration in the capabilities of acquired assets to generate cash flows, and the fair value of the goodwill dips below its book value. We are required to review our goodwill for impairment at least annually. Events that may trigger goodwill impairment include deterioration in economic conditions, increased competition, loss of key personnel, and regulatory action. Should any of these occur, an impairment of goodwill could have a negative effect on our assets.

Our international business operations are subject to unique risks and challenges that create increased uncertainty in these markets.

Significant portions of our operations, including our development team, are located in Ukraine, and as such, our business is subject to unique risks associated with operating in a military occupied region. These risks can include potentially dynamic social, political and economic environments; civil disturbances, unrest, or violence including terrorism associated with operating primarily in a military occupied region; volatile labor conditions due to strikes and general difficulties in staffing international operations with highly qualified personnel; and logistical and communication challenges. Unexpected changes in regulatory requirements in foreign countries as well as inconsistent regulations, diverse licensing, and legal and tax requirements that differ from one country to another could also adversely affect our international projects. Additionally, there may be limitations on our ability to repatriate foreign earnings in certain jurisdictions.

We have significant exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

We conduct a significant portion of its operations outside of the U.S., which also operate in their respective local currencies, the most significant of which are currently the Ukrainian hryvnia and the Euro. Therefore, our international operations accounts for a significant portion of our overall operations and we have significant exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Because our financial statements continue to be presented in U.S. dollars, the local currencies will be translated into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rates for inclusion in our consolidated financial statements, thereby increasing the foreign exchange translation risk.

Our business may be adversely affected by regional or global instability, disruption or destruction, regardless of cause, including military invasion, terrorism, riot, civil insurrection or social unrest. For example, the large-scale military invasion by Russia of Ukraine affects, the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, and the recent Israel/U.S. – Iran conflict may affect, the markets in which we operate. In particular, tensions and hostilities involving Iran, including any escalation of armed conflict between Iran and other countries in the region, and related attacks by state actors or non-state actors (including terrorist organizations or Iran-backed proxy groups), have contributed and may continue to contribute to regional instability. Such instability could include, among other things, military operations, missile or drone attacks, cyberattacks, disruptions to transportation routes (including in and around the Red Sea), increased energy price volatility, sanctions or export controls, increased insurance costs or reduced availability of insurance coverage, and heightened uncertainty in global finance markets. Such developments could also increase volatility in the trading price of our common stock and adversely affect our ability to access capital markets or raise additional capital on acceptable terms. Such events may also cause clients to delay their decisions on spending for the software and systems provided by us and give rise to sudden significant changes in regional and global economic conditions and cycles. In addition, such events may adversely affect defense procurement priorities, timing and budgets (including reallocations and delays), which could adversely affect the timing and amount of demand for our software and services. Additionally, the cessation of such conflicts could materially adversely affect the demand for our products. Sales of our products primarily occur in the defense sector for battlefield operations, and should ongoing conflicts cease, the demand for our products will decrease and constrain the growth of our operational dataset of combat missions that provide us with training data, edge case identification, failure mode analysis and performance validation that are currently otherwise unavailable to our competitors. These events pose risks that could materially adversely affect our financial results.

Additionally, we have significant operations, employees and contractors located in Ukraine. As a result of the military invasion by Russia, negative or uncertain political climates in Ukraine, including but not limited to, military activities or civil hostilities, criminal activities and other acts of violence, infrastructure disruption, natural disasters or other conditions could adversely affect our operations in Ukraine or cause us to exit the Ukrainian market. Additionally, some of our Ukraine-based team members may be forced to relocate to other countries and within Ukraine and are subject to life-threatening attacks while located there. We are closely monitoring the situation and are committed to caring for our colleagues in the region. The ongoing conflict could cause harm to our team members and otherwise impair their ability to work for extended periods of time. Since the majority of our developers are currently located in Ukraine, this could have large scale adverse effects on our operations. The conflict could also disrupt telecommunications systems, banks and other critical infrastructure necessary to conduct business in Ukraine. Additionally, we are actively seeking to hire in Poland, which neighbors Ukraine. We may be forced to cease hiring or face additional risks if Poland is affected by the ongoing conflict. The scope of the impact of the military invasion in Ukraine is impossible to predict at this time and could have an adverse impact on our business.

Our operations may be disrupted by the obligations of our personnel to perform military service.

Many of our employees and contractors in Ukraine are subject to compulsory military service and could be called to active duty in certain circumstances. Our operations could be disrupted by the absence of a significant number of our employees or contractors related to military service or the absence for extended periods of military service of one or more of our key employees or contractors. Military service requirements for our employees or contractors could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may not be able to secure adequate insurance policies, or secure insurance policies at reasonable prices.

We maintain general liability insurance, directors and officers insurance, and other insurance policies and we believe our level of coverage is customary in the industry and adequate to protect against claims. However, there can be no assurance that it will be sufficient to cover potential claims or that present levels of coverage will be available in the future at a reasonable cost. Further, we expect our insurance needs and costs to increase as we grow our commercial operations and expand into new markets and it is uncertain if such insurance will be available on commercially reasonable terms.

We may be affected by operational risks and may not be adequately insured for certain risks.

We may be affected by a number of operational risks and may not be adequately insured for certain risks, including: labor disputes; catastrophic accidents; fires; blockades or other acts of social activism; changes in the regulatory environment; impact of non-compliance with laws and regulations; natural phenomena, such as inclement weather conditions, floods, earthquakes and ground movements. There is no assurance that the foregoing risks and hazards will not result in damage to, or destruction of, our technologies, personal injury or death, environmental damage, adverse impacts on our operations, costs, monetary losses, potential legal liability and adverse governmental action, any of which could have an adverse impact on our future cash flows, earnings and financial condition. Furthermore, the unmanned aircraft systems industry lacks a formative insurance market. As a result, we may be subject to or affected by liability or sustain loss for certain risks and hazards against which we cannot insure or which we may elect not to insure because of the cost. This lack of insurance coverage could have an adverse impact on our future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition.

Our cash could be adversely affected if the financial institutions in which we hold our cash fail.

We maintain domestic cash deposits in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured banks. The domestic bank deposit balances may exceed the FDIC insurance limits. Also, in the foreign markets we serve, we also maintain cash deposits in foreign banks, some of which are not insured or partially insured by the FDIC or other similar agency. These balances could be impacted if one or more of the financial institutions in which we deposit monies fails or is subject to other adverse conditions in the financial or credit markets.

Litigation may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

From time to time in the normal course of our business operations, we may become subject to litigation that may result in liability material to our financial condition as a whole or may negatively affect our operating results if changes to our business operations are required. The cost to defend such litigation may be significant and may require a significant diversion of our resources, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to successfully defend against any such litigation regardless of particular merits. There also may be adverse publicity associated with litigation that could negatively affect customer perception of our business, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether we are ultimately found liable. Insurance may not be available on favorable terms, at all, or in sufficient amounts to cover any liabilities with respect to these or other matters. A judgment or other liability in excess of our insurance coverage for any claims could adversely affect our business, financial condition and the results of our operations.

Investors in the U.S. may have difficulty bringing actions and enforcing judgments against certain of our directors and officers based on securities law civil liability provisions.

While we are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, Serhii Kupriienko, our principal executive officer, resides outside the U.S. As a result, it may be difficult for U.S. investors to effect service of process within the U.S. upon Mr. Kupriienko to enforce against him judgments of the courts of the U.S. predicated upon, among other things, the civil liability provisions of federal securities laws of the U.S.

Risks Related to Regulatory Requirements

The drone industry is subject to various laws and government regulations which could complicate and delay our ability to introduce products, maintain compliance, and avoid violations which could negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations.

We operate in the drone industry which is a highly regulated environment in the U.S. and international markets. Federal, state, and local governmental entities and foreign governments may regulate aspects of the industry, including the production or distribution of our products, software or services. These regulations may include accounting standards, taxation requirements, product safety, trade restrictions, environmental regulations, products directed toward children or hobbyists, and other administrative and regulatory restrictions. While we endeavor to take all the steps necessary to comply with these laws and regulations, there can be no assurance that we can maintain compliance on a continuing basis. Failure to comply could result in monetary liabilities and other sanctions which could increase our costs or decrease our revenue resulting in a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We and our customers operate in a highly regulated business environment and changes in regulation could impose costs on us or make our products less economical.

Our software and systems are subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations. Laws and regulations applicable to us and our products govern, among other things, the manner in which our products communicate. Additionally, our customers are often regulated by national, state and/or local bodies, including, without limitation, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, Ukrainian Ministry of Strategic Industries, Ukrainian Ministry of Digital Transformation and other bodies. Prospective customers may be required to gain approval from any or all of these organizations prior to implementing our software and systems, including specific permissions related to the cost recovery of these systems. Regulatory agencies may impose special requirements for implementation and operation of our products, which may result in unforeseen delays. We may incur material costs or liabilities in complying with government regulations applicable to us or our customers. In addition, potentially significant expenditures could be required in order to comply with evolving regulations and requirements that may be adopted or imposed on us or our customers in the future. Such costs could make our products less economical and could impact our customers’ willingness to adopt our products, which could materially and adversely affect our revenue, results of operations and financial condition.

Failure to obtain any necessary regulatory approvals from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”), the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) or other governmental agencies, or limitations put on the use of small UAS in response to public privacy and other concerns, may prevent us from expanding the sales of our software platforms and AI systems to defense industrial and government customers in the U.S.

The regulation of small UAS for commercial use in the U.S. is undergoing substantial change and the ultimate treatment is uncertain.

On February 14, 2012, the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 was enacted, establishing various deadlines for the FAA to allow expanded use of small UAS for both public and commercial applications. On June 21, 2016, the FAA released its final rules regarding the routine use of certain small UAS (under 55 pounds) in the U.S. National Airspace System pursuant to the act (the “Part 107 Rules”). The Part 107 Rules, which became effective in August 2016, provided safety regulations for small UAS conducting non-recreational operations and contain various limitations and restrictions for such operations, including a requirement that operators keep UAS within visual-line-of-sight and prohibiting flights over unprotected people on the ground who are not directly participating in the operation of the UAS. On December 28, 2020, the FAA announced final rules requiring remote identification of drones and allowing operators of small drones to fly over people and at night under certain conditions. On June 8, 2021, the FAA announced the formation of an Aviation Rulemaking Committee (“ARC”) to develop new rules to further define regulations for the operations of UAS Beyond Visual Line-of-Site (“BVLOS”). The timing of additional rulemaking is uncertain as is the outcome of the still developing regulatory environment related to the operation of small UAS. Additionally, recent focus on reducing the size of the federal workforce could negatively impact the availability of resources within the FAA which could delay our progress towards certification.

Pursuant to the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act of 2019, the FCC created and maintains a list (“Covered List”) of telecommunications services and equipment that pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the U.S. The FCC periodically updates the Covered List, and companies that appear on the Covered List are subject to change based on the security determinations of the FCC and other U.S. Federal agencies with which the FCC works. Categories of equipment made by companies,

Table of Contents

including equipment manufactured by their subsidiaries or affiliates, on the Covered List cannot be authorized in the U.S. On December 22, 2025, the FCC’s Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau announced a significant expansion of its Covered List. The FCC added all UAS and UAS critical components produced in foreign countries to the Covered List, based on a national security determination that such items pose an unacceptable risk to U.S. national security. This means that such items will not be approved by the FCC for import, sale, or use in the U.S. However, particular UAS and UAS critical components can be removed if the U.S. Department of Defense or Department of Homeland Security makes a specific determination that an item or class of items does not pose an unacceptable national security risk. Additionally, the FCC has since clarified in FAQs that the Covered List “does not affect sales to DoD, DHS or any other federal agencies” within the U.S., as those agencies have their own acquisition regulations that instead apply.

We cannot assure you that any final rules enacted in furtherance of the FAA’s announced proposals will result in the expanded use of our software platforms and AI systems by commercial and defense industrial entities or that an exemption from the FCC’s Covered List will be available. In addition, there exists public concern regarding the privacy and other implications of U.S. commercial use of small UAS. This concern has included calls to develop explicit written policies and procedures establishing usage limitations. We cannot assure you that the response from regulatory agencies, customers and privacy advocates to these concerns will not delay or restrict the adoption of small UAS by the commercial use markets.

Our business is subject to federal, state and international laws regarding data protection, privacy, and information security, as well as confidentiality obligations under various agreements, and our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could damage our reputation, expose us to litigation risk and adversely affect our business and operating results.

In connection with our business, we receive, collect, process and retain certain personal and confidential customer information. As a result, we are subject to increasingly rigorous federal, state and international laws regarding privacy and data protection. Personal privacy, data protection and information security are significant issues in the U.S. and the other jurisdictions where we offer our software and systems. The regulatory framework for privacy and security issues worldwide is rapidly evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. Our handling of data is subject to a variety of laws and regulations, including regulation by various government agencies and various state, local and foreign bodies and agencies. We also execute confidentiality and data protection agreements with various parties under which we are required to protect their confidential information.

The U.S. federal and various state and foreign governments have adopted or proposed limitations on the collection, distribution, use and storage of personal information of individuals, including end-customers and employees. In the U.S., the FTC and many state attorney generals are applying federal and state consumer protection laws to the online collection, use and dissemination of data. Additionally, many foreign countries and governmental bodies, and other jurisdictions in which we currently or may in the future operate or conduct our business, have laws and regulations concerning the processing of personal information obtained from their residents or by businesses operating within or processing personal information that falls within their jurisdiction. These laws and regulations often are more restrictive than those in the U.S. in certain areas, whereas U.S. laws may impose requirements not included in their international counterparts. Such laws and regulations may, for example, require companies to implement new privacy and security policies and practices, permit individuals to access, correct and delete personal information stored or maintained by such companies, inform individuals of security breaches that affect their personal information, and, in some cases, obtain individuals’ consent to use personal information for certain purposes.

We also expect that there will continue to be new proposed laws, regulations and industry standards concerning privacy, data protection and information security in the U.S., the EU and other jurisdictions, and we cannot yet determine the impact of such future laws, regulations and standards may have on our business. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act, which became effective in 2020, provides new data privacy rights for consumers and new operational requirements for companies. Additionally, we expect that existing laws, regulations and standards may be interpreted differently in the future. There remains significant uncertainty surrounding the regulatory framework for the future of personal data transfers from the EU to the U.S. with regulations such as the recently adopted General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which imposes more stringent EU data protection requirements, provides an enforcement authority, and imposes large penalties for noncompliance. Future laws, regulations, standards and other obligations, including the adoption of the GDPR, as well as changes in the interpretation of existing laws, regulations, standards and other obligations could impair our ability to collect, use or disclose information relating to individuals, which could decrease demand for our products, require us to restrict our business operations, increase our costs and impair our ability to maintain and grow our customer base and increase our revenue.

Although we are working to comply with those federal, state and foreign laws and regulations, industry standards, contractual obligations and other legal obligations that apply to us, such laws, regulations, standards and obligations are evolving and may be

Table of Contents

modified, interpreted and applied in an inconsistent manner from one jurisdiction to another, and may conflict with one another, other requirements or legal obligations, our practices or the features of our products. As such, we cannot assure ongoing compliance with all such laws or regulations, industry standards, contractual obligations and other legal obligations, and our efforts to do so may cause us to incur significant costs or require changes to our business practices, which could adversely affect our business and operating results. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with federal, state or foreign laws or regulations, industry standards, contractual obligations or other legal obligations, or any actual or suspected security incident, whether or not resulting in unauthorized access to, or acquisition, release or transfer of personal information or other data, may result in governmental enforcement actions and prosecutions, private litigation, fines and penalties or adverse publicity and could cause our customers to lose trust in us, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation and business. Any inability to adequately address privacy and security concerns, even if unfounded, or comply with applicable laws, regulations, policies, industry standards, contractual obligations or other legal obligations could result in additional cost and liability to us, damage our reputation, inhibit sales, and adversely affect our business and operating results.

Our operations extend beyond the U.S. The international scope of our business may require us to comply with a wide range of national and local laws and regulations, which may in certain cases diverge from or even conflict with each other. Restrictions imposed on us by foreign governments, as a result of strategic ties and treaties with foreign countries, may limit our activities and access to certain countries, in a manner that may restrict and even prevent in certain situations our operations in certain countries and affect our results.

With the potential geographic expansion of our business, and that of our subsidiaries, into new markets, we have become subject to additional and changing legal, regulatory, tax, licensing, and compliance requirements and industry standards.

In countries where we currently or may eventually operate, legislators and regulatory authorities may introduce new interpretations of existing laws and regulations or introduce new legislation or regulations concerning our business. Changes in government regulation of or successful challenges to the business model used by us in certain markets may require us to change our existing business models and operations. Any additional regulatory scrutiny or changes in legal requirements may impose significant compliance costs and make it uneconomical for us to continue to operate in all of the current markets or to expand in accordance with our strategy, particularly if regulations or their interpretations vary greatly or conflict between different operating countries. This may negatively impact our revenue and profitability by preventing our business from reaching sufficient scale in particular markets or having to change our business model or incur additional costs, which would adversely impact business. Our inability, or perceived inability, to comply with existing or new compliance obligations, could lead to regulatory scrutiny, which could result in administrative or enforcement action, such as fines, penalties, and/or enforceable undertakings and adversely affect our business.

We may become subject to increasing global trade laws and regulations.

We may become subject to increasing global trade laws and regulations, including economic sanctions, export controls, and import laws. Failure to comply with global trade laws and regulations can result in penalties and reputational harm. Our international sales efforts expose us to increased risk under these laws and regulations, and increasing and evolving global trade laws could impact our business.

In addition, the global economy has recently seen a rise in tariffs and threats of tariffs. While tariffs have not had a material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations to date, new tariffs could increase the costs of raw materials and other goods, both for us and our suppliers, which could impact our business.

Risks Related to our Intellectual Property

Our ability to protect our intellectual property and proprietary technology is uncertain.

We rely primarily on patent and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements, to protect our proprietary technologies and intellectual property. As of this filing, we held a total of one (1) pending provisional application in the U.S. and two (2) pending non-provisional patent applications in the U.S. Our intellectual property incorporates internally developed software design incorporating machine and computer vision and was developed with AI and machine learning techniques. This

Table of Contents

intellectual property is critical to the development of end-to-end systems which reliably enable the automated operation of unmanned systems in real-world environments.

We have applied for patent protection relating to certain existing and proposed products and processes. Currently, our pending U.S. patent applications relate to our Swarmer OS, Swarmer AI and Swarmer UI solutions and are therefore important to the functionality of our products. If we fail to timely file a patent application in any jurisdiction, we may be precluded from doing so at a later date. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that any of our patent applications will be approved in a timely manner or at all. The rights we are seeking to have granted in our pending patent applications may not be meaningful or provide us with any commercial advantage. In addition, those rights, should they be granted, could be opposed, contested or circumvented by our competitors, or be declared invalid or unenforceable in judicial or administrative proceedings. The failure of any patent that we may obtain to adequately protect our technology might make it easier or cheaper for our competitors to offer the same or similar products or technologies. Even if we are successful in receiving patent protection for certain products and processes, our competitors may be able to design around our patents or develop products that provide outcomes which are comparable or superior to ours without infringing on our intellectual property rights. In the event we also pursue patent protection in foreign jurisdictions, due to differences between foreign and U.S. patent laws, any patented intellectual property rights may not receive the same degree of protection in foreign countries as they would in the U.S. Even if patents are granted outside the U.S., effective enforcement in those countries may not be available without significant cost and time expense or at all.

We also rely on trade secrets, know-how and technology, which are not protectable by patents, to maintain our competitive position. We try to protect this information by entering into confidentiality agreements and intellectual property assignment agreements with our officers, employees, contractors and other service providers regarding our intellectual property and proprietary technology. In the event of unauthorized use or disclosure or other breaches of those agreements, we may not be provided with meaningful protection for our trade secrets or other proprietary information. In addition, our trade secrets may otherwise become known or be independently discovered by competitors. To the extent that our commercial partners, collaborators, officers, employees, contractors and other service providers use intellectual property owned by others in their work for us, disputes may arise as to the rights in the related or resulting know-how and inventions. If any of our trade secrets, know-how or other technologies not protected by a patent were to be disclosed to or independently developed by a competitor, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. A substantial part of such knowledge is possessed by our development team in Ukraine who have at-will consulting agreements with us and are located in areas subject to attack by Russia.

If a competitor infringes upon any patents that we may obtain, trademarks that we may obtain or other intellectual property rights, enforcing those patents, trademarks and other rights may be costly, difficult and time consuming. Patent law relating to the scope of claims in the industry in which we operate is subject to rapid change and constant evolution and, consequently, patent positions in our industry can be uncertain. Even if successful, litigation to defend our patents against challenges or to enforce our intellectual property rights could be expensive and time consuming and could divert management’s attention from managing our business. Moreover, we may not have sufficient resources or desire to defend any patents or trademarks that we may obtain against challenges or to enforce our intellectual property rights. Litigation also puts any patents that we may obtain at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and our patent applications at risk of not issuing. Additionally, we may provoke third parties to assert claims against us. We may not prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate, and the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially valuable. The occurrence of any of these events may harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our business may suffer if it is alleged or found that our products infringe the intellectual property rights of others.

Our industry is characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and by litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. Moreover, in recent years, individuals and groups have purchased patents and other intellectual property assets for the purpose of making claims of infringement in order to extract settlements from companies like ours. To date we have received no claims with respect to our infringement of intellectual property or patents but, in the future, third parties may claim that we are infringing upon their patents or other intellectual property rights. In addition, we may be or may become contractually obligated to indemnify our customers or other third parties that use or resell our products in the event our products are alleged to infringe a third-party’s intellectual property rights. Responding to such claims, regardless of their merit, can be time consuming, costly to defend in litigation, divert management’s attention and resources, damage our reputation and brand, and cause us to incur significant expenses. Even if we are indemnified against such costs, the indemnifying party may be unable to uphold its contractual obligations. Further, claims of intellectual property infringement might require us to redesign affected products, delay affected product offerings, enter into costly settlement or license agreements or pay costly damage awards or face a temporary or permanent injunction prohibiting us from marketing, selling or distributing the affected products. If we cannot or do not license the alleged infringed technology on reasonable terms or at all, or substitute similar technology from another source, our revenue and

Table of Contents

earnings could be adversely impacted. Additionally, our customers may not purchase our products if they are concerned that our products infringe third-party intellectual property rights. This could reduce the market opportunity for the sale of our software and systems. The occurrence of any of these events may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our proprietary information, the value of our technology and products could be adversely affected.

We rely on our unpatented technology, trade secrets and know-how. We generally seek to protect this information by confidentiality, non-disclosure and assignment of invention agreements with our officers, employees, contractors and other service providers and with parties with which we do business. These agreements may be breached, which breach may result in the misappropriation of such information, and we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach. We cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent unauthorized use or reverse engineering of our technology.

Moreover, our trade secrets may be disclosed to or otherwise become known or be independently developed by competitors. To the extent that our officers, employees, contractors, other service providers, or other third parties with whom we do business use intellectual property owned by others in their work for us, disputes may arise as to the rights in related or resulting know-how and inventions. If, for any of the above reasons, our intellectual property is disclosed or misappropriated, it would harm our ability to protect our rights and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The use of open source software in our products, processes and technology may expose us to additional risks and compromise our proprietary intellectual property.

The use of open source software in our products, processes and technology may expose us to additional risks and compromise our proprietary intellectual property. Our products, processes and technology sometimes utilize and incorporate software that is subject to an open source license. Open source software is typically freely accessible, usable and modifiable. Certain open source software licenses, such as the GNU General Public License, require a user who intends to distribute the open source software as a component of the user’s software to disclose publicly part or all of the source code to the user’s software. In addition, certain open source software licenses require the user of such software to make any derivative works of the open source code available to others on terms unfavorable to us or at no cost. This can subject previously proprietary software to open source license terms.

While we monitor the use of open source software in our products, processes and technology and try to ensure that no open source software is used in such a way as to require us to disclose the source code to the related product, processes or technology when we do not wish to do so, such use could inadvertently occur. Additionally, if a third-party software provider has incorporated certain types of open source software into software we license from such third-party for our products, processes or technology, we could, under certain circumstances, be required to disclose the source code to our products, processes or technology. This could harm our intellectual property position and our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Intellectual property rights do not necessarily address all potential threats to our competitive advantage.

The degree of future protection afforded by our intellectual property rights is uncertain because intellectual property rights have limitations, and may not adequately protect our business, or permit us to maintain our competitive advantage. The following examples are illustrative:

●

we or any collaborators might not have been the first to make the inventions covered by the pending patent applications that we own;

●

we might not have been the first to file patent applications covering certain of our inventions;

●

others may independently develop similar or alternative technologies or duplicate any of our technologies without infringing our intellectual property rights;

●

it is possible that our pending patent applications will not lead to issued patents;

●

any issued patents that we may obtain and own may not provide us with any competitive advantages, or may be held invalid or unenforceable as a result of legal challenges;

Table of Contents

●

our competitors might conduct research and development activities in the U.S. and other countries that provide a safe harbor from patent infringement claims for certain research and development activities, as well as in countries where we do not have patent rights, and then use the information learned from such activities to develop competitive products for sale in our major commercial markets; and

●

we may not develop additional proprietary technologies that are patentable.

Risks Related to our Financial Results

We will need to generate significant sales to achieve profitable operations.

We intend to increase our operating expenses substantially in connection with the planned expansion of our business, establishment of our sales and marketing infrastructure, our ongoing research and development activities, and the commensurate development of our management and administrative functions, but there is no guarantee that we will succeed in these endeavors. We will need to generate significant sales to achieve profitability, and we might not be able to do so. Even if we do generate significant sales, we might not be able to achieve, sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. If our sales grow more slowly than we expect, or if our operating expenses exceed our expectations, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

If business growth falls short of expectations, we may need to obtain additional capital to fund our growth, operations, and obligations.

We may require additional capital to fund our growth, operations, and obligations if our growth plan falls short or takes more time than we anticipate. As our business has grown, we have managed periods of tight liquidity by accessing capital from our stockholders and their affiliates. Our capital requirements will depend on several factors, including:

●

our ability to enter into new agreements with customers or to extend the terms of our existing agreements with customers, and the terms of such agreements;

●

the success of our sales efforts;

●

our working capital requirements related to the costs of inventory and accounts receivable;

●

costs of recruiting and retaining qualified personnel;

●

expenditures and investments to implement our business strategy; and

●

the identification and successful completion of acquisitions.

We may seek additional funds through equity or debt offerings and/or borrowings under notes payable, lines of credit or other sources. We do not know whether additional financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms or at all, when needed. For example, increases in interest rates could negatively impact the costs of seeking additional funds through debt offerings and/or borrowings. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on commercially acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, support the growth of our business or otherwise respond to competitive pressures could be significantly delayed or limited, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our revenue is not predictable and recognition of a significant portion of it will be deferred into future periods.

Once a customer decides to move forward with a large-scale deployment of our software and systems, the timing of and our ability to recognize related revenue will depend on several factors, some of which may not be under our control. These factors include shipment schedules that may be delayed or subject to modification, the rate at which our utility customers choose to deploy our products in their network, customer acceptance of all or any part of our software and systems, our contractual commitments to provide new or enhanced functionality at some point in the future, other contractual provisions such as liquidated damages, our suppliers’ ability to provide an adequate supply of components, the requirement to obtain regulatory approval, and our ability to deliver quality products according to expected schedules. In light of these factors, the application of complex revenue recognition rules to our software and systems has required us to defer, and in the future will likely continue to require us to defer, a significant amount of

Table of Contents

revenue until undetermined future periods. It may be difficult to predict the amount of revenue that we will recognize in any given period and amounts recognized may fluctuate significantly from one period to the next.

As a public company, we will be required to maintain internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we evaluate and determine the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and provide a management report on the internal control over financial reporting. Our testing, or the subsequent testing by our independent public accounting firm, may reveal deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses. If we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, or if we or our accounting firm identify deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of our stock would likely decline and we could be subject to lawsuits, sanctions or investigations by regulatory authorities, including enforcement actions by the SEC, and we could be required to restate our financial results, any of which would require additional financial and management resources.

If material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting are discovered or occur in the future, our consolidated financial statements may contain material misstatements and we could be required to restate our financial results, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, restrict our ability to access the capital markets, require us to expend significant resources to correct the material weakness, subject us to fines, penalties or judgments, harm our reputation or otherwise cause a decline in investor confidence.

We continue to invest in more robust technology and resources to manage those reporting requirements. Implementing the appropriate changes to our internal controls may distract our officers and employees, result in substantial costs and require significant time to complete. Any difficulties or delays in implementing these controls could impact our ability to timely report our financial results. For these reasons, we may encounter difficulties in the timely and accurate reporting of our financial results, which would impact our ability to provide our investors with information in a timely manner. As a result, our investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and our stock price could decline.

In addition, any such changes do not guarantee that we will be effective in maintaining the adequacy of our internal controls, and any failure to maintain that adequacy could prevent us from accurately reporting our financial results.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders, if they choose to act together, have the ability to significantly influence all matters submitted to stockholders for approval and may prevent other investors from influencing significant corporate decisions.

As of the date of this prospectus, our executive officers, directors and greater than 5% stockholders, in the aggregate, own approximately 52.9% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, such persons, acting together, have the ability to significantly influence all matters submitted to our board of directors or stockholders for approval, including the appointment of our management, the election and removal of directors and approval of any significant transactions, as well as our management and business affairs, which may prevent other investors from influencing some or all of the foregoing. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving us, or discouraging a potential acquiror from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our business, even if such a transaction would benefit other stockholders.

Some of these persons or entities may have interests different than yours. For example, because many of these stockholders purchased their shares at prices substantially below the current market price of our common stock and have held their shares for a longer period, they may be more interested in selling our company to an acquirer than other investors, or they may want us to pursue strategies that deviate from the interests of other stockholders.

Table of Contents

We may issue more shares to raise additional capital, which may result in substantial dilution.

Our Charter authorizes the issuance of a maximum of 200,000,000 shares of common stock. Any additional financings effected by us may result in the issuance of additional securities without stockholder approval and the substantial dilution in the percentage of common stock held by our then existing stockholders. In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may be higher or lower than the price per share of our common stock at that time. Also as of March 31, 2026, we have reserved 5,643,900, 3,846,045 and 5,400,000 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2023 Stock Plan, 2024 Stock Plan and 2026 Plan, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, the number of securities remaining available for future issuance under the 2023 Plan and 2024 Plan was zero shares of common stock. In connection with our IPO, we adopted the 2026 Plan authorizing the future issuance of up to 5,400,000 shares of common stock (plus any shares underlying outstanding stock awards granted under our 2024 Plan that expire or are repurchased, forfeited, cancelled or withheld). As of March 31, 2026, the number of securities remaining available for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2026 Equity Plan was 4,871,168. The issuance of such additional shares of common stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, may cause the price of our common stock to decline. Additionally, if all or a substantial portion of these shares are resold into the public markets then the trading price of our common stock may decline.

Our board of directors may issue and fix the terms of shares of our preferred stock without stockholder approval, which could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our common stock or any change in control of our Company.

Our Charter authorizes the issuance of a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, $0.00001 par value per share, with such designation rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors. Our board of directors is empowered, without the need to obtain stockholder approval, to issue shares of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. In the event of such issuances, the preferred stock could be used, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of our company.

We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our common stock, and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation, if any, in the price of our common stock.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our common stock. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. In addition, any future debt agreements may preclude us from paying dividends. For the foreseeable future, any return to stockholders will therefore be limited to the appreciation of their stock. There is no guarantee that shares of our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which stockholders have purchased their shares. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock. See “Dividend Policy” for additional information.

If our shares become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. If we do not retain a listing on Nasdaq and if the price of our common stock is less than $5.00, our common stock will be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that before effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock, and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling shares.

Sales, or the possibility of sales, of a substantial number of shares of our common stock by our existing stockholders in the public market could cause our stock price to fall.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur could significantly reduce the market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise adequate capital through the sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities.

In connection with our Initial Public Offering, we sold 3,450,000 shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2026, we had outstanding a total of 11,210,256 shares of common stock, which includes 411,534 shares of unvested restricted stock, after giving effect to the issuance of shares upon the exercise of options during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the conversion of all of our outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock into (i) 6,137,634 shares of common stock and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 1,799,970 shares of common stock that occurred in connection with our IPO.

In connection with our Initial Public Offering, our directors and executive officers and holders of substantially all of our outstanding securities entered into lock-up agreements pursuant to which they may not, with limited exceptions, for a period of 180 days from March 18, 2026, sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any of our securities, without the prior written consent of Lucid. These lock-up agreements are expected to expire on or about September 15, 2026. Lucid Capital Markets may permit our officers, directors and other securityholders who are subject to the lock-up agreements to sell shares prior to the expiration of the lock-up agreements at any time in their sole discretion. Sales of these shares, or perceptions that they will be sold, could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline. After the lock-up agreements expire, up to an additional 9,348,579 shares of common stock will be eligible for sale in the public market, of which 5,285,783 shares will be held by directors, executive officers and other affiliates and will be subject to volume limitations under Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

holders of (i) 6,137,634 shares of common stock and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 1,799,970 shares of common stock, or approximately 63.0% of our total outstanding common stock based on shares outstanding as of March 31, 2026, are entitled to rights with respect to the registration of their shares under the Securities Act, subject to vesting and the 180-day lock-up agreements described above. See “Description of Capital Stock — Registration Rights.” Registration of these shares under the Securities Act would result in the shares becoming freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act, except for shares held by affiliates, as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Any sales of securities by these stockholders could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock.

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act, and may remain an emerging growth company until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the closing of our Initial Public Offering on March 18, 2026. However, if certain events occur prior to the end of such five-year period, including if we become a “large accelerated filer”, as defined under the Exchange Act, our annual gross revenues exceed $1.235 billion or we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt in any three-year period, we will cease to be an emerging growth company prior to the end of such five-year period. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we are permitted and intend to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These exemptions include:

●

being permitted to provide only two years of audited financial statements, in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements, with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure in connection with registered securities offerings;

●

not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

●

not being required to comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements, unless the SEC determines the new rules are necessary for protecting the public;

●

reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation; and

Table of Contents

●

exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

We have taken advantage of reduced reporting burdens in this prospectus. In particular, in this prospectus, we have provided only two years of audited financial statements and have not included all of the executive compensation related information that would be required if we were not an emerging growth company. We cannot predict whether investors will find our common stock less attractive if we rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be reduced or more volatile. In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of these accounting standards until they would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected to avail ourselves of this exemption and, therefore, we may not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. We intend to rely on other exemptions provided by the JOBS Act, including without limitation, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes- Oxley Act.

We are also a smaller reporting company as defined in the Exchange Act. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an emerging growth company. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.

Provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could discourage a takeover that stockholders may consider favorable and may lead to entrenchment of management.

Our Charter and amended and restated bylaws (the “Bylaws”) contain provisions that could delay or prevent a merger, acquisition, or other change in control of our company or changes in our board of directors that our stockholders might consider favorable, including transactions in which you might otherwise receive a premium for your shares. Some of these provisions include:

●

a board of directors divided into three classes serving staggered three-year terms, such that not all members of the board will be elected at one time;

●

a prohibition on stockholder action through written consent, which requires that all stockholder actions be taken at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders;

●

a requirement that special meetings of stockholders be called only by the board of directors acting pursuant to a resolution approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office;

●

advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and nominations for election to our board of directors;

●

a requirement that no member of our board of directors may be removed from office by our stockholders except for cause and, in addition to any other vote required by law, upon the approval of not less than 75% of all outstanding shares of our voting stock then entitled to vote in the election of directors;

●

a requirement of approval of not less than 75% of all outstanding shares of our voting stock to amend any bylaws by stockholder action or to amend specific provisions of our certificate of incorporation; and

●

the authority of the board of directors to issue convertible preferred stock on terms determined by the board of directors without stockholder approval and which convertible preferred stock may include rights superior to the rights of the holders of common stock.

In addition, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which may prohibit certain business combinations with stockholders owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock. These anti-takeover provisions and other provisions in our Charter and Bylaws could make it more difficult for stockholders or potential acquirers to obtain control of our board of directors or initiate actions that are opposed by the then-current board of directors and could also delay or impede a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving our company. These

Table of Contents

provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors of your choosing or cause us to take other corporate actions you desire. Any delay or prevention of a change in control transaction or changes in our board of directors could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

Our Charter designates certain courts as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees.

Our Charter provides that, unless we consent in writing to an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for any state law claims for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any of our current or former directors, officers, employees or agents to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or our certificate of incorporation or bylaws (in each case, as they may be amended from time to time), (iv) any action or proceeding to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of our Charter or Bylaws, (v) any action or proceeding as to which the Delaware General Corporation Law confers jurisdiction to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or (vi) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors, officers or employees that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. In addition, our Charter provides that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our common stock is deemed to have notice of and consented to the foregoing provisions. We recognize that the forum selection clause in our Charter may impose additional litigation costs on stockholders in pursuing any such claims, particularly if the stockholders do not reside in or near the State of Delaware. Additionally, the forum selection clause in our Charter may limit our stockholders’ ability to bring a claim in a forum that they find favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and employees even though an action, if successful, might benefit our stockholders. The Court of Chancery may also reach different judgments or results than would other courts, including courts where a stockholder considering an action may be located or would otherwise choose to bring the action, and such judgments may be more or less favorable to us than our stockholders. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provisions contained in our Charter to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Because the applicability of the exclusive forum provision is limited to the extent permitted by applicable law, we do not intend that the exclusive forum provision would apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. We also acknowledge that Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder and that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce an exclusive forum provision for actions arising under the Securities Act, and investors cannot waive compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

General Risk Factors

Our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all errors or acts of fraud.

We are subject to certain reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and even if we are successful in remediating our material weaknesses, any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by an unauthorized override of the controls.

Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in our control system, misstatements or insufficient disclosures due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Table of Contents

We will incur significant increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.

As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, which requires, among other things that we file with the SEC annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules subsequently adopted by the SEC and Nasdaq to implement provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, impose significant requirements on public companies, including requiring the establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial reporting controls and changes in corporate governance practices. Further, in July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”) was enacted. There are significant corporate governance and executive compensation related provisions in the Dodd-Frank Act concerning areas such as “say on pay” and proxy access. Emerging growth companies are permitted to implement many of these requirements over a longer period, which may be up to five years from the closing of our Initial Public Offering. Stockholder activism, the current political environment and the current high level of government intervention and regulatory reform may lead to substantial new regulations and disclosure obligations, which may lead to additional compliance costs and impact the manner in which we operate our business in ways we cannot currently anticipate.

We expect the rules and regulations applicable to public companies to substantially increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. If these requirements divert the attention of our management and personnel from other business concerns, they could have an adverse effect on our business. The increased costs will decrease our net income or increase our net loss, and may require us to reduce costs in other areas of our business or increase the prices of our products or services. For example, we expect these rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to incur substantial costs to maintain the same or similar coverage. We cannot predict or estimate the amount or timing of additional costs we may incur to respond to these requirements. The impact of these requirements could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as executive officers.

We are subject to U.S. and certain foreign export and import controls, sanctions, embargoes, anti-corruption laws and anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Compliance with these legal standards could impair our ability to compete in domestic and international markets. If we fail to comply with these laws, we could face civil or criminal liability and other serious consequences for violations, which could harm our business.

We are subject to export control and import laws and regulations, including the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, U.S. Customs regulations, and various economic and trade sanctions regulations administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Controls and anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, the U.S. domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. § 201, the U.S. Travel Act, the USA PATRIOT Act and other state and national anti-bribery and anti-money laundering laws in the countries in which we conduct activities. Anti-corruption laws are interpreted broadly and prohibit companies and their employees, agents, contractors and other collaborators and partners from authorizing, promising, offering, providing, soliciting or receiving, directly or indirectly, improper payments or anything else of value to recipients in the public or private sector. We may engage third parties outside of the U.S. to sell our products abroad and/or to obtain necessary permits, licenses, patent registrations and other regulatory approvals. We have direct or indirect interactions with officials and employees of government agencies or government-affiliated organizations. We can be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of our employees, agents, contractors and other collaborators and partners, even if we do not explicitly authorize or have actual knowledge of such activities, and any training or compliance programs or other initiatives we undertake to prevent such activities may not be effective. Any violations of the laws and regulations described above may result in substantial civil and criminal fines and penalties, imprisonment, the loss of export or import privileges, debarment, tax reassessments, breach of contract and fraud litigation, reputational harm and other consequences.

Furthermore, U.S. export control laws and economic sanctions prohibit the provision of certain software and systems to countries, governments, and persons targeted by U.S. sanctions. If we fail to comply with export and import regulations and such economic sanctions, penalties could be imposed, including fines and/or denial of certain export privileges. These export and import controls and economic sanctions could also adversely affect our supply chain.

Unstable market and economic conditions may have serious adverse consequences on our business, financial condition and stock price.

The global credit and financial markets have recently experienced extreme volatility and disruptions, including severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, increases in unemployment rates and uncertainty about economic stability. The financial markets and the global economy may also be adversely affected by the current or anticipated impact of military conflict, including the military invasion by Russia in Ukraine and the conflicts in the Middle East, including the Israel/U.S. – Iran conflict, terrorism or other geopolitical events. Sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other countries in response to such conflicts may also adversely impact the financial markets and the global economy, and any economic countermeasures by the affected countries or others could exacerbate market and economic instability. There can be no assurance that further deterioration in credit and financial markets and confidence in economic conditions will not occur. Our general business strategy may be adversely affected by any such economic downturn, volatile business environment or continued unpredictable and unstable market conditions. If the current equity and credit markets deteriorate, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult, more costly and more dilutive. Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy, financial performance and stock price and could require us to delay, limit, reduce, or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market our solutions and products even if we would otherwise prefer to develop and market such product ourselves, or on less favorable terms than we would otherwise choose. In addition, one or more of our current service providers or other partners may not survive an economic downturn, which could directly affect our ability to attain our research and development goals on schedule and on budget. Uncertainty about global economic conditions could result in increased costs related to the implementation of our solutions, which could have a material adverse effect on demand for our products and solutions.

Changes in tax law may materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or adversely impact the value of an investment in our common stock.

New income, sales, use or other tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be enacted at any time, or interpreted, changed, modified or applied adversely to us, any of which could adversely affect our business operations and financial performance. For example, on July 4, 2025, the U.S. government passed the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” which contained several pieces of tax legislation, including making permanent certain of the tax law changes originally enacted in 2017 (under the legislation informally titled the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act) which made many significant changes to the U.S. tax laws. Future guidance from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other tax authorities with respect to such legislation may affect us, and certain aspects thereof could be repealed or modified in future legislation. We urge our investors to consult with their legal and tax advisors with respect to any changes in tax law and the potential tax consequences of investing in our common stock.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports or publish unfavorable research or reports about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us, our business, our market or our competitors. We do not currently have, and may never obtain, research coverage by securities and industry analysts. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of our company, the trading price for our stock would be negatively impacted. In the event we obtain securities or industry analyst coverage, if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our stock, or if we fail to meet the expectations of one or more of these analysts, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases to cover us or fails to regularly publish reports on us, interest in our stock could decrease, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

We could be subject to securities class action litigation.

In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following a decline in the market price of its securities. This risk is especially relevant as the markets have experienced significant stock price volatility in recent years. If we face such litigation, even if ultimately decided in our favor, it could result in substantial costs that may not be fully covered by insurance, and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources, which could harm our business.

LUCID LIQUIDITY LINE

General

On June 10, 2026, we entered into the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement with the Selling Stockholder. Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in the Purchase Agreement, from and after the Commencement Date, we will have the right, in our sole discretion, to sell to the Selling Stockholder up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement, from time to time after the date of this prospectus and during the term of the Purchase Agreement. Sales of shares of common stock by us to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any such sales, are solely at our option, and we are under no obligation to sell any securities to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement. In accordance with our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, we have filed the Registration Statement with the SEC to register under the Securities Act the resale by the Selling Stockholder of up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock, that we may, in our sole discretion, elect to sell to the Selling Stockholder, from time to time from and after the Commencement Date pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

We do not have the right to commence any sales of our shares of common stock to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement until the Commencement Date, which is the date on which all of the conditions to the Selling Stockholder’s purchase obligation set forth in the Purchase Agreement have initially been satisfied, none of which are in the Selling Stockholder’s control, including that the registration statement that includes this prospectus shall have been declared effective by the SEC and the final form of this prospectus shall have been filed with the SEC. From and after the Commencement Date, we have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at our sole discretion over the 24-month period beginning on the Commencement Date, to direct the Selling Stockholder to purchase up to a specified maximum amount of shares of common stock in one or more Purchases and Intraday Purchases as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, by timely delivering a written Purchase Notice for each Purchase, and timely delivering a written Intraday Purchase Notice for each Intraday Purchase, if any, to the Selling Stockholder in accordance with the Purchase Agreement on any Trading Day we select as the Purchase Date therefor, so long as, (i) with respect to Purchases, the closing sale price of our common stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to such Purchase Date is not less than the Threshold Price and, with respect to Intraday Purchases, the sale price of our shares of common stock at the time of delivery of the Intraday Purchase Notice is not less than the Threshold Price and (ii) all shares of common stock subject to all prior Purchases and all prior Intraday Purchases effected by us under the Purchase Agreement (as applicable) have been received by the Selling Stockholder in the manner set forth in the Purchase Agreement, prior to the time we deliver such notice to the Selling Stockholder.

From and after Commencement, the Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of shares of common stock to the Selling Stockholder. Actual sales of shares of our common stock to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock and determinations by us as to the appropriate sources of funding for our company and its operations.

We may not issue or sell any shares of common stock to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement that, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock then beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholder and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 thereunder), would result in the Selling Stockholder beneficially owning shares of common stock in excess of the 4.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation, which is defined in the Purchase Agreement as 4.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock.

Under applicable Nasdaq rules, in no event may the Company issue or sell to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement any shares of its common stock to the extent the issuance of such shares of Common Stock, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, would cause the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement to the Exchange Cap, unless (i) the Company obtains stockholder approval to issue shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap or (ii) the average price per share paid by the Selling Stockholder for all of the shares.

Neither we nor the Selling Stockholder may assign or transfer our respective rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, and no provision of the Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement may be modified or waived by us or the Selling Stockholder.

Purchase of Shares Under the Purchase Agreement

Purchases

●

From and after the Commencement Date, we will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at our sole discretion over the 24-month period beginning on the Commencement Date, to direct the Selling Stockholder to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock, not to exceed the applicable Purchase Maximum Amount, in a Purchase under the Purchase Agreement, by timely delivering a written Purchase Notice to the Selling Stockholder, prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Trading Day we select as the Purchase Date for such Purchase, so long as the closing sale price of our common stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to such Purchase Date is not less than the Threshold Price and all shares of common stock subject to all prior Purchases and all prior Intraday Purchases effected by us under the Purchase Agreement have been received by the Selling Stockholder prior to the time we deliver such Purchase Notice to the Selling Stockholder.

The Purchase Maximum Amount applicable to such Purchase will be equal to the lesser of:

●

250,000 shares of common stock; and

●

the Purchase Percentage (as specified in the applicable Purchase Notice for such Purchase) of the total aggregate number (or volume) of shares of our common stock traded on Nasdaq during the applicable Purchase Valuation Period for such Purchase.

The actual number of shares of common stock that the Selling Stockholder will be required to purchase in a Purchase, referred to as the Purchase Share Amount, will be equal to the number of shares that we specify in the applicable purchase notice, subject to adjustment to the extent necessary to give effect to the applicable Purchase Maximum Amount and other applicable limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including the Beneficial Ownership Cap and, if then applicable, the Exchange Cap.

The per share purchase price that the Selling Stockholder will be required to pay for the Purchase Share Amount in a Purchase effected by us pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if any, will be equal to the VWAP of our common stock for the applicable Purchase Valuation Period on the Purchase Date for such Purchase, less a 2% discount to the VWAP for such Purchase Valuation Period. The Purchase Valuation Period for a Purchase is defined in the Purchase Agreement as the period beginning at the official open (or commencement) of the regular trading session on Nasdaq on the applicable Purchase Date for such Purchase, and ending at the earliest to occur of:

●

3:59 p.m., New York City time, on such Purchase Date or such earlier time publicly announced by Nasdaq as the official close of the regular trading session on such Purchase Date;

●

such time that the total aggregate number (or volume) of shares of common stock traded on Nasdaq during such Purchase Valuation Period reaches the applicable Purchase Share Volume Maximum for such Purchase, which will be determined by dividing (a) the applicable Purchase Share Amount for such Purchase, by (b) the Purchase Percentage we specified in the applicable Purchase Notice for such Purchase); and

●

if we further specify in the applicable Purchase Notice for such Purchase that a Limit Order Discontinue Election shall apply to such Purchase, such time that the trading price of our common stock on Nasdaq during such Purchase Valuation Period (calculated in accordance with the Purchase Agreement) falls below the applicable Minimum Price Threshold.

Table of Contents

Under the Purchase Agreement, for purposes of calculating the volume of shares of common stock traded during a Purchase Valuation Period, including for purposes of determining whether the applicable Purchase Share Volume Maximum for a Purchase has been reached, for purposes of calculating the VWAP of our common stock for the applicable Purchase Valuation Period, and to the extent that we specify in the applicable purchase notice that the Limit Order Discontinue Election will apply, the following transactions, to the extent they occur during such Purchase Valuation Period, shall be excluded: (x) the opening or first purchase of common stock at or following the official open of the regular trading session on Nasdaq on the applicable Purchase Date for such Purchase, (y) the last or closing sale of common stock at or prior to the official close of the regular trading session on Nasdaq on the applicable Purchase Date for such Purchase, and (z) if we have specified in the applicable purchase notice for such Purchase that a Limit Order Continue Election (as specified in the applicable purchase notice for such Purchase) shall apply to such Purchase (instead of specifying that a Limit Order Discontinue Election shall apply), all purchases and sales of common stock on Nasdaq during such Purchase Valuation Period at a price per share that is less than the applicable Minimum Price Threshold for such Purchase.

Intraday Purchases

In addition to the Purchases described above, from and after the Commencement Date, we will also have the right, but not the obligation, subject to the continued satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, to direct the Selling Stockholder to make Intraday Purchases, whether or not a Purchase is effected on such Purchase Date, not to exceed the applicable Intraday Purchase Maximum Amount (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), under the Purchase Agreement, by timely delivering a written intraday purchase notice to the Selling Stockholder, after 10:00 a.m., New York City time (and after the Purchase Valuation Period for any earlier Purchase and the Intraday Purchase Valuation Period for the most recent prior Intraday Purchase effected on the same Purchase Date as such applicable Intraday Purchase, if applicable, have ended), and prior to 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such Purchase Date, so long as:

●

the sale price of our common stock at the time of delivery of the Intraday Purchase Notice is not less than the Threshold Price; and

●

all shares of common stock subject to all prior Purchases and all prior Intraday Purchases effected by us under the Purchase Agreement (as applicable) have been received by the Selling Stockholder in the manner set forth in the Purchase Agreement, prior to the time we deliver such Intraday Purchase Notice to the Selling Stockholder.

The Intraday Purchase Maximum Amount applicable to such Intraday Purchase will be equal to the lesser of:

●

250,000 shares of common stock; and

●

the Purchase Percentage (as specified by us in the applicable Intraday Purchase Notice for such Intraday Purchase) of the total aggregate number (or volume) of shares of our common stock traded on Nasdaq during the applicable Intraday Purchase Valuation Period for such Intraday Purchase.

The actual number of shares of common stock that the Selling Stockholder will be required to purchase in an Intraday Purchase, referred to as the Intraday Purchase Share Amount, will be equal to the number of shares that we specify in the applicable intraday Purchase notice, subject to adjustment to the extent necessary to give effect to the applicable Intraday Purchase Maximum Amount and other applicable limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including the Beneficial Ownership Cap and, if then applicable, the Exchange Cap.

The per share purchase price that the Selling Stockholder will be required to pay for the Intraday Purchase Share Amount in an Intraday Purchase effected by us pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if any, will be calculated in the same manner as in the case of a Purchase (including the same percentage discounts to the applicable VWAP used to calculate the per share purchase price for a Purchase as described above), provided that the VWAP used to determine the purchase price for the Intraday Purchase Share Amount to be purchased in an Intraday Purchase will be equal to the VWAP for the applicable Intraday Purchase Valuation Period on the Purchase Date for such Intraday Purchase and the applicable minimum price threshold in the event we do not specify a minimum price threshold in the Intraday Purchase Notice will be a price equal to 75% of the sale price of our shares of common stock at the time of delivery of the applicable Intraday Purchase Notice. The Intraday Purchase Valuation Period for an Intraday Purchase is defined in the Purchase Agreement as the period during the regular trading session on Nasdaq on such Purchase Date, beginning at the latest to occur of:

●

such time of confirmation of the Selling Stockholder’s receipt of the applicable Intraday Purchase Notice;

Table of Contents

●

such time that the Purchase Valuation Period for any prior regular Purchase effected on the same Purchase Date (if any) has ended; and

●

such time that the Intraday Purchase Valuation Period for the most recent prior Intraday Purchase effected on the same Purchase Date (if any) has ended

and ending at the earliest to occur of:

●

3:59 p.m., New York City time, on such Purchase Date or such earlier time publicly announced by Nasdaq as the official close of the regular trading session on such Purchase Date;

●

such time that the total aggregate number (or volume) of shares of common stock traded on Nasdaq during such Intraday Purchase Valuation Period reaches the applicable Intraday Purchase Share Volume Maximum for such Intraday Purchase, which will be determined by dividing (a) the applicable Intraday Purchase Share Amount for such Intraday Purchase, by (b) the Purchase Percentage we specified in the applicable Intraday Purchase Notice for determining the applicable Intraday Purchase Share Amount for such Intraday Purchase); and

●

if we further specify Limit Order Discontinue Election in the applicable Intraday Purchase Notice for such Intraday Purchase, such time that the trading price of our common stock on Nasdaq during such Intraday Purchase Valuation Period (calculated in accordance with the Purchase Agreement) falls below the applicable Minimum Price Threshold.

As with Purchases, for purposes of calculating the volume of shares of common stock traded during an Intraday Purchase Valuation Period, including for purposes of determining whether the applicable Intraday Purchase Share Volume Maximum for an Intraday Purchase has been reached, and for purposes of calculating the VWAP of our common stock for the applicable Intraday Purchase Valuation Period, the following transactions, to the extent they occur during such Intraday Purchase Valuation Period, are excluded: (x) the opening or first purchase of common stock at or following the official open of the regular trading session on Nasdaq on the applicable Purchase Date for such Intraday Purchase, (y) the last or closing sale of common stock at or prior to the official close of the regular trading session on Nasdaq on the applicable Purchase Date for such Intraday Purchase, and (z) if we have specified in the applicable intraday purchase notice for such Intraday Purchase that a Limit Order Continue Election shall apply to such Intraday Purchase (instead of specifying that a Limit Order Discontinue Election shall apply), all purchases and sales of common stock on Nasdaq during such Intraday Purchase Valuation Period at a price per share that is less than the applicable Minimum Price Threshold for such Intraday Purchase.

We may, in our sole discretion, timely deliver multiple intraday purchase notices to the Selling Stockholder prior to 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on a single Purchase Date to effect multiple Intraday Purchases on such same Purchase Date, provided that the Purchase Valuation Period for any earlier regular Purchase effected on the same Purchase Date (as applicable) and the Intraday Purchase Valuation Period for the most recent prior Intraday Purchase effected on the same Purchase Date have ended prior to 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such Purchase Date, and so long as all shares of common stock subject to all prior Purchases and all prior Intraday Purchases effected by us under the Purchase Agreement, including all prior purchases effected on the same Purchase Date as such applicable Intraday Purchase, have been received by the Selling Stockholder in the manner set forth in the Purchase Agreement prior to the time that we deliver to the Selling Stockholder a new intraday purchase notice to effect an additional Intraday Purchase on the same Purchase Date as an earlier Purchase (as applicable) and one or more earlier Intraday Purchases effected on such same Purchase Date.

The terms and limitations that will apply to each subsequent additional Intraday Purchase effected on the same Purchase Date will be the same as those applicable to any earlier Purchase (as applicable) and any earlier Intraday Purchase effected on the same Purchase Date as such subsequent additional Intraday Purchase, and the per share purchase price for the shares of common stock that we elect to sell to the Selling Stockholder in each subsequent additional Intraday Purchase effected on the same Purchase Date as an earlier Purchase (as applicable) and/or earlier Intraday Purchase(s) effected on such Purchase Date will be calculated in the same manner as in the case of such earlier Purchase (as applicable) and such earlier Intraday Purchase(s) effected on the same Purchase Date as such subsequent additional Intraday Purchase, with the exception that the Intraday Purchase Valuation Period for each subsequent additional Intraday Purchase will begin and end at different times (and may vary in duration) during the regular trading session on such Purchase Date, in each case as determined in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.

In the case of Purchases and Intraday Purchases effected by us under the Purchase Agreement, if any, all share and dollar amounts used in determining the purchase price per share of common stock to be purchased by the Selling Stockholder in a Purchase or an

Table of Contents

Intraday Purchase (as applicable), or in determining the applicable maximum purchase share amounts or applicable volume or price threshold amounts in connection with any such Purchase or Intraday Purchase (as applicable), in each case, will be equitably adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction occurring during any period used to calculate such per share purchase price, maximum purchase share amounts or applicable volume or price threshold amounts.

At or prior to 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Purchase Date for a Purchase or Intraday Purchase, the Selling Stockholder will provide us with a written confirmation for such Purchase or Intraday Purchase, as applicable, setting forth the applicable purchase price (both on a per share basis and the total aggregate purchase price) to be paid by Lucid for the shares of common stock purchased by the Selling Stockholder in such Purchase or Intraday Purchase, as applicable.

The payment for, against delivery of, shares of common stock purchased by the Selling Stockholder in any Purchase or any Intraday Purchase under the Purchase Agreement will be fully settled within one Trading Day immediately following the applicable Purchase Date for such Purchase or such Intraday Purchase (as applicable), as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

Conditions to Commencement and Each Purchase

Table of Contents

We have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time after Commencement, at no cost or penalty, upon 10 Trading Days’ notice. We and the Selling Stockholder may also terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time by mutual written consent.

The Selling Stockholder also has the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement upon 10 Trading Days’ prior written notice to us, but only upon the occurrence of certain events, including:

●

the occurrence and continuation of a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement);

●

the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) involving our Company;

●

if any registration statement is not filed by the applicable Filing Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) or declared effective by the SEC by the applicable Effectiveness Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), or the Company is otherwise in breach or default in any material respect under any of the other provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, and, if such failure, breach or default is capable of being cured, such failure, breach or default is not cured within 10 Trading Days after notice of such failure, breach or default is delivered to us;

●

●

the effectiveness of the registration statement that includes this prospectus or any additional registration statement we file with the SEC pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement lapses for any reason (including the issuance of a stop order by the SEC), or this prospectus or the prospectus included in any additional registration statement we file with the SEC pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement otherwise becomes unavailable to the Selling Stockholder for the resale of all of the shares of common stock included therein, and such lapse or unavailability continues for a period of 45 consecutive Trading Days or for more than an aggregate of 90 Trading Days in any 365-day period, other than due to acts of the Selling Stockholder; or

●

trading in the common stock on Nasdaq (or if the common stock is then listed on an eligible market, trading in the common stock on such eligible market) has been suspended for a period of five consecutive Trading Days.

No termination of the Purchase Agreement by us or by the Selling Stockholder will become effective prior to the fifth Trading Day immediately following the date on which any pending Purchase and any pending Intraday Purchase has been fully settled in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, and no termination will affect any of the respective rights and obligations of the Company or the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement with respect to any pending Purchase, any pending Intraday Purchase and any fees and disbursements of the Selling Stockholder’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. Both we and the Selling Stockholder have agreed to complete our respective obligations with respect to any such pending Purchase and any pending Intraday Purchase under the Purchase Agreement. Furthermore, no termination of the Purchase Agreement will affect the Registration Rights Agreement, which will survive any termination of the Purchase Agreement.

No Short-Selling or Hedging by the Selling Stockholder

The Selling Stockholder has agreed not to engage in or effect, directly or indirectly, for its own principal account or for the principal account of its sole member, any of its or its sole member’s respective officers, or any entity managed or controlled by it or its sole member, any (i) “short sale” (as such term is defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO of the Exchange Act) of the common stock or (ii) hedging transaction, which establishes a net short position with respect to the common stock, during the term of the Purchase Agreement.

Effect of Sales of our Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement on Our Stockholders

All shares of common stock that may be issued or sold by us to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement that are being registered under the Securities Act for resale by the Selling Stockholder in this offering are expected to be freely tradable. The shares of common stock being registered for resale in this offering may be issued and sold by us to the Selling Stockholder from time to time at our discretion over a period of up to 24 months commencing on the Commencement Date. The resale by the Selling Stockholder of a significant amount of shares registered for resale in this offering at any given time, or the perception that these sales

Table of Contents

may occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline and to be highly volatile. Sales of our shares of common stock, if any, to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined by us. We may ultimately decide to sell to the Selling Stockholder all, some or none of the shares of our common stock that may be available for us to sell to the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

If and when we do elect to sell shares of our common stock to the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, after the Selling Stockholder has acquired such shares, the Selling Stockholder may resell all, some or none of such shares at any time or from time to time in its discretion and at different prices. As a result, investors who purchase shares from the Selling Stockholder in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices for those shares, and so may experience different levels of dilution and in some cases substantial dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase from the Selling Stockholder in this offering as a result of future sales made by us to the Selling Stockholder at prices lower than the prices such investors paid for their shares in this offering. In addition, if we sell a substantial number of shares to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement, or if investors expect that we will do so, the actual sales of shares or the mere existence of our arrangement with the Selling Stockholder may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect such sales.

Because the purchase price per share to be paid by the Selling Stockholder for the shares of common stock that we may elect to sell to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement, if any, will fluctuate based on the market prices of our common stock during the applicable Purchase Valuation Period for each Purchase, and during the applicable Intraday Purchase Valuation Period for each Intraday Purchase, made pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if any, as of the date of this prospectus it is not possible for us to predict the number of shares of common stock that we will sell to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement, the actual purchase price per share to be paid by the Selling Stockholder for those shares, or the actual gross proceeds to be raised by us from those sales, if any.

As of June 1, 2026, we had 11,210,256 shares of common stock outstanding, which includes 352,743 shares of unvested restricted stock, of which 6,865,042 shares are held by non-affiliates of ours (based on information available to us as of June 1, 2026). The Purchase Agreement provides that we may sell up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock to the Selling Stockholder, and we are registering 3,000,000 shares of common stock under the Securities Act for resale by the Selling Stockholder under this prospectus. If all of the 3,000,000 shares of common stock offered for resale by the Selling Stockholder under this prospectus were issued and outstanding as of June 1, 2026, those shares would represent approximately 21.1% of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock and approximately 30.4% of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock held by non-affiliates of our company, in each case based on information known to us as of June 1, 2026.

If we elect to issue and sell more than the shares of common stock offered under this prospectus to the Selling Stockholder, which we have the right, but not the obligation, to do, in addition to obtaining stockholder approval to issue shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap under the Purchase Agreement in accordance with Nasdaq rules, we must first file with the SEC one or more additional registration statements to register under the Securities Act the resale by the Selling Stockholder of any such additional shares of our common stock we wish to sell from time to time under the Purchase Agreement, which the SEC must declare effective, in each case before we may elect to sell any additional shares of our common stock to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement. Any issuance and sale by us under the Purchase Agreement of a substantial amount of shares of common stock in addition to the remaining 3,000,000 shares of common stock registered for resale by the Selling Stockholder under the registration statement that includes this prospectus could cause additional substantial dilution to our shareholders.

The number of shares of common stock ultimately offered for resale by the Selling Stockholder through this prospectus is dependent upon the number of shares of common stock, if any, we elect to sell to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement from and after the Commencement Date. The issuance of our shares of common stock to the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will not affect the rights or privileges of our existing shareholders, except that the economic and voting interests of each of our existing shareholders will be diluted. Although the number of shares of our common stock that our existing shareholders own will not decrease, the shares of our common stock owned by our existing shareholders will represent a smaller percentage of our total outstanding shares of our common stock after any such issuance.

The Purchase Agreement prohibits us from issuing or selling to Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement (i) shares of our Common Stock in excess of the Exchange Cap, unless we obtain stockholder approval to issue shares in excess of the Exchange Cap, and (ii) any shares of our Common Stock if those shares, when aggregated with all other shares of our Common Stock then beneficially owned by Lucid and its affiliates, would exceed the Beneficial Ownership Cap. If applicable, we would seek stockholder approval before issuing shares in excess of the Exchange Cap.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to this prospectus. However, we may receive up to approximately $181 million in aggregate gross proceeds from the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement in connection with sales of shares of our common stock to the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, based on an assumed offering price of $60.32, the last reported sale price of our common stock on June 9, 2026. However, the actual proceeds from sales, if any, under the Purchase Agreement, may be less than this amount depending on the number of shares of our common stock sold to the Selling Stockholder and the price at which such shares are sold.

We intend to use the proceeds from the sale of common stock under the Purchase Agreement, if any, primarily for funding of ongoing operations, including expansion of capabilities and our product offerings, hiring employees, integration with the hardware of drone manufacturers, acquiring best-in-class technologies and world-class teams to expand our product portfolio and increase the impact created by our products on the battlefield, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to in-license, acquire or invest in products, technologies or businesses, although we have no current agreements, commitments or understandings to do so. We have not determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for such purposes. As a result, management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds of any offering.

We will generally bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the common stock offered by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to this prospectus, but the Selling Stockholder will bear all incremental selling expenses, including commissions, brokerage fees and other similar selling expenses.

We have engaged Seaport, a registered broker-dealer and FINRA member, to act as a qualified independent underwriter in this offering and, in such capacity, participate in the preparation of the registration statement that includes this prospectus and exercise the usual standards of “due diligence” with respect thereto. We have agreed to pay directly to Seaport a cash fee of $50,000 as consideration for its services and to reimburse Seaport up to $5,000 for its expenses incurred in connection with acting as the qualified independent underwriter in this offering on or prior to the Commencement Date. Seaport will receive no other compensation for acting as the qualified independent underwriter in this offering. See the section titled “Plan of Distribution (Conflict of Interest)” in this prospectus for more information.

SELLING STOCKHOLDER

This prospectus relates to the offer and sale by Lucid of up to 3,000,000 shares of our common stock that have been or may be issued by us to Lucid under the Purchase Agreement. For additional information regarding the shares of our common stock included in this prospectus, see the section titled “Lucid Liquidity Line” above. We are registering the shares of our common stock included in this prospectus pursuant to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement we entered into with Lucid on June 10, 2026, in order to permit the selling stockholder to offer the shares included in this prospectus for resale from time to time. Except for the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and as set forth in the section titled “Plan of Distribution (Conflict of Interest)” in this prospectus, Lucid has not had any material relationship with us within the past three years. As used in this prospectus, the term “Selling Stockholder” means Lucid.

The table below presents information regarding the Selling Stockholder and the shares of our common stock that may be resold by the Selling Stockholder from time to time under this prospectus. This table is prepared based on information supplied to us by the selling stockholder and reflects holdings as of June 1, 2026. The number of shares in the column “Maximum Number of Shares of common stock to be Offered Pursuant to this Prospectus” represents all of the shares of our common stock being offered for resale by the Selling Stockholder under this prospectus. The selling stockholder may sell some, all or none of the shares being offered for resale in this offering. We do not know how long the Selling Stockholder will hold the shares before selling them and, except as set forth in the section titled “Plan of Distribution (Conflict of Interest)” in this prospectus, we are not aware of any existing arrangements between the Selling Stockholder and any other stockholder, broker, dealer, underwriter or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares of our common stock being offered for resale by this prospectus.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act and includes shares of our common stock with respect to which the Selling Stockholder has sole or shared voting and investment power. The percentage of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholder prior to the offering shown in the table below is based on an aggregate of 11,210,256 shares of our common stock outstanding on June 1, 2026, which includes 352,743 shares of unvested restricted stock. Because the purchase price to be paid by the Selling Stockholder for shares of our common stock, if any, that we may elect to sell to the Selling Stockholder in one or more Purchases and one or more Intraday Purchases from time to time under the Purchase Agreement will be determined on the applicable Purchase Dates therefor, the actual number of shares of our common stock that we may sell to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement may be fewer than the number of shares being offered for resale under this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the resale by the Selling Stockholder of all of the shares of our common stock being offered for resale pursuant to this prospectus.

In accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) under the Exchange Act, we have excluded from the number of shares beneficially owned prior to the offering all of the shares that Lucid may be required to purchase under the Purchase Agreement, because the issuance of such shares is solely at our discretion and is subject to conditions contained in the Purchase Agreement, the satisfaction of which are entirely outside of Lucid’s control, including the registration statement that includes this prospectus becoming and remaining effective. Furthermore, the Purchases and the Intraday Purchases of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement are subject to certain agreed upon maximum amount limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Also, the Purchase Agreement prohibits us from issuing and selling any shares of our common stock to Lucid to the extent such shares when aggregated with all other shares of our common stock then beneficially owned by Lucid, would cause Lucid’s beneficial ownership of our common stock to exceed the 4.99% Beneficial Ownership Cap. The Purchase Agreement also prohibits us from issuing or selling shares of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement in excess of the 19.99% Exchange Cap, unless we obtain stockholder approval to do so, or unless the average price for all shares of our common stock purchased by Lucid under the Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds $60.32 per share, such that the Exchange Cap limitation would not apply under applicable Nasdaq rules. Neither the Beneficial Ownership Cap nor the Exchange Cap (to the extent applicable under Nasdaq) may be amended or waived under the Purchase Agreement

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, for use in the operation of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to declare and pay dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on various factors, including applicable laws, our results of operations, our financial condition, our capital requirements, general business conditions, our future prospects and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. Our ability to pay cash dividends on our capital stock in the future may also be limited by the terms of any preferred securities we may issue or agreements governing any additional indebtedness we may incur. Investors should not purchase our common stock with the expectation of receiving cash dividends.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. You should read this analysis in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the notes contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion and analysis contains statements of a forward-looking nature relating to future events or our future financial performance. These statements are only predictions, and actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating such statements, you should carefully consider the various factors identified in this prospectus, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements, including those set forth in “Risk Factors” in this prospectus. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

We are a provider of autonomous drone swarm software and artificial intelligence solutions, specializing in vendor-agnostic technologies that address critical operational challenges faced by modern military forces. Our primary customer base consists of drone manufacturers who license our software for integration with their hardware platforms. While not our direct customers, the ultimate end-users of our Swarmer-enabled systems are military forces and defense organizations.

With a focus on affordability, rapid development, and proven combat performance, we deliver software platforms and AI systems that enable military organizations to deploy and coordinate large-scale unmanned systems operations without requiring proportional increases in trained operators. Our primary mission areas include autonomous swarm coordination, multi-domain unmanned systems integration, AI-powered collaborative autonomy, and command and control software for distributed robotic operations.

Our combat-tested approach, proven deployment record since 2023, and demonstrated execution of over 100,000 combat missions flown by drones that were equipped with our Swarmer OS, operating at varying degrees of autonomy depending on each end-user’s requirements and tactics, have enabled us to deliver operational value to drone manufacturers, defense system integrators, and the military end-users they serve.

Since our inception in 2023, we have devoted substantially all of our efforts and financial resources to building our organization, including raising capital, research and development, business planning, and providing selling, general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the sale and issuance of simple agreements for future equity (“SAFEs”) and through the sale of our Series A convertible preferred stock and common stock. From inception through December 31, 2025, we raised aggregate net proceeds of $3.2 million from the issuance and sale of SAFEs. In multiple closings held from September to December 2025, we issued and sold an aggregate of 1,933,605 shares of Series A-1 convertible preferred stock at a purchase price of $6.2711 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $12.1 million. See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements found elsewhere in this registration statement/prospectus for a description of the sale of our Series A-1 convertible preferred stock.

Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement for the Series A Preferred Stock Financing (as defined below), we issued warrants to purchase 2,999,950 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $3.3334, were immediately exercisable upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and will expire at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March 22, 2027.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, our net loss was $4.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $15.1 million and $10.6 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, our net loss was $8.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $10.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses have resulted from costs incurred in connection with our research and development related to engineering of our core software technology products, and to a lesser extent, from selling, general and administrative costs associated with our operations.

Based on our current operating plans, we estimate that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of the date of this registration statement, together with the estimated net proceeds from this offering, will be sufficient to fund our projected operating expenses, working capital and capital expenditure needs into 2027. We have based this estimate on our current assumptions, which may prove to be wrong, and we may exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we have incurred and expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company, including significant legal, audit, accounting, regulatory and tax-related services associated with

Table of Contents

maintaining compliance with an exchange listing and SEC requirements, director and officer liability insurance costs, investor and public relations costs, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company.

Uncertainty in the global economy presents significant risks to our business. We are subject to continuing risks and uncertainties in connection with the current macroeconomic environment, including increases in inflation, fluctuating interest rates, new or increased tariffs and other barriers to trade, changes to fiscal and monetary policy or government budget dynamics, recent bank failures, geopolitical factors, including the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, Israel/U.S. and Iran, and in the Middle East and the responses thereto, and supply chain disruptions. While we are closely monitoring the impact of the current macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions on all aspects of our business, including the impacts on our employees, suppliers, vendors and business partners and our future access to capital, the ultimate extent of the impact on our business remains highly uncertain and will depend on future developments and factors that continue to evolve. Most of these developments and factors are outside our control and could exist for an extended period. We will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of the potential impacts to its business, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. For additional information, see the section titled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry.”

Factors Affecting Our Performance

Acquiring New Customers

We believe there is substantial opportunity to continue to grow our customer base. We intend to drive new customer acquisitions by continuing to invest significantly in sales and marketing to engage our prospective customers, increase brand awareness and drive adoption of our software platforms and AI systems. We also plan to continue to invest in building brand awareness within the defense communities. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, we had approximately four and seven customers, respectively. Additionally, while one customer, Smart Machinery Solutions, LLC, a Ukrainian limited liability company, accounted for substantially all of our revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we have not received new orders from such customer and do not expect to receive new orders from such customer in the future. Our ability to attract new customers will depend on a number of factors,

Table of Contents

including the effectiveness and pricing of our software platforms, AI systems, offerings of our competitors, and the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.

Expanding our product portfolio and team through strategic acquisitions

We believe there is a significant opportunity to acquire best-in-class technologies and world-class teams in related and adjacent defense technology markets. As a hardware-agnostic software company, we have good visibility into the ecosystem and real-world data that helps us understand which technologies work well and which teams deliver good value to the battlefield. We plan to explore the market and look for opportunities to expand our presence and market position through strategic acquisitions, and we believe that they will contribute to our long-term growth.

Expanding Within Our Existing Customer Base

Our base of customers represents a significant opportunity for further sales expansion. We believe that our business model allows us to efficiently increase revenue from our existing customer base as they ramp up production to meet expanding military demand. We intend to continue to invest in enhancing awareness of our brand and developing more products, features and functionality, which we believe are important factors to achieve widespread adoption of our platform. Our ability to increase sales to existing customers will depend on a number of factors, including our customers’ satisfaction with our solution, competition, pricing and overall changes in our customers’ spending levels.

Sustaining Innovation and Technology Leadership

Our success is dependent on our ability to sustain innovation and technology leadership in order to maintain our competitive advantage. We believe that we have built software platforms and AI systems that enable military organizations to deploy and coordinate large-scale unmanned systems operations without requiring proportional increases in trained operators. We employ a business-to-business-to-government (“B2B2G”) model that enables manufacturers to enhance products with advanced autonomous capabilities without developing proprietary swarm technology, significantly reducing research & development (“R&D”) costs and time-to-market. Our efficient B2B2G model enables us to prioritize significant investment in innovation. We intend to continue to invest in building additional products, features and functionality that expand our capabilities and facilitate the extension of our software platforms and AI systems to new use cases. We also intend to continue to evaluate strategic acquisitions and investments in businesses and technologies to drive product and market expansion. Our future success is dependent on our ability to successfully develop, market and sell existing and new products to both new and existing customers.

Expanding Internationally

We believe there is a significant opportunity to expand usage of our software platforms and AI systems. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, substantially all of our revenue was derived from customers in Ukraine. We have made and plan to continue to make significant investments to expand geographically, particularly in the EU and U.S. Although these investments may adversely affect our operating results in the near term, we believe that they will contribute to our long-term growth.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

We earn revenue through software license sales. License sales include multiple performance obligations, including the license, video streaming and cloud storage services and updates and technical support. The license is a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use our software. Support and maintenance include access to our support center, software upgrades and updates, and error investigation. We recognize revenues from software licenses at a point in time and generally when the software is activated within the corresponding hardware it was installed. Revenues from maintenance and support, including data storage-related services, are recognized ratably over the contractual term which is generally one year.

Cost of Revenue

Our cost of revenue primarily costs of product costs, including third-party hosting fees, and certain allocated costs related to consulting and professional fees related to engineering and sales support.

Table of Contents

Operating Expenses

Research and Development Expenses

Our research and development expense consists primarily of consulting and outside professional services costs related to engineering and product development, stock based compensation, and other supporting overhead expenses associated with the development of our software offerings.

Development costs of computer software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed are subject to capitalization beginning when a product’s technological feasibility has been established and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. In most instances, the Company’s products are released soon after technological feasibility has been established. Costs incurred subsequent to achievement of technological feasibility were not significant, and software development costs were expensed as incurred.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of consulting fees for our management team, facilities related costs, legal fees related to intellectual property and corporate matters, other professional fees for accounting and consulting services, insurance, and other administrative expenses.

We expect that our selling, general and administrative expense will increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to support our expanding headcount and operation to support the growth of our business.

Other Income (Expense)

Change in fair value of SAFEs

The SAFEs are classified as liabilities and subject to remeasurement through earnings each reporting period until they are reclassified or settled. In connection with the sale of our Series A convertible preferred stock in September 2025, all outstanding SAFEs were settled and no longer subject to remeasurement.

Other income

Other income is primarily related to consulting services provided outside the normal course of the Company’s operations, grant proceeds from a government entity and interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents held with financial institutions.

Revenue

Revenue was $20,325 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, which decreased compared with the three months ended March 31, 2025, as substantially all of our revenue was derived from one customer and fewer license activations in the current year.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue remained relatively consistent despite the decline in revenue, primarily due to fixed hosting and engineering support costs associated with maintaining our software infrastructure.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $3.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The increase was primarily attributable to a $1.7 million rise in consulting and professional services as we prepared to operate as a public company.

In addition, we increased headcount by $0.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026. We also increased travel, office supplies, and rent by approximately $0.5 million as we ramped up our operations and opened new corporate offices in the U.S. and EU.

R&D Expenses

R&D expenses increased by $1.0 million, from $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The increase was driven primarily by a $1.0 million rise in headcount related to engineering and product development initiatives.

Revenue

Revenue was $0.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, which was relatively flat compared with the year ended December 31, 2024, as substantially all of our revenue was derived from one customer.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue was also flat at $0.2 million, reflecting the de minimis change in revenue.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $0.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 to $2.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to a $1.7 million rise in consulting and professional services as we prepared to operate as a public company. In addition, travel, office supplies, and rent increased by approximately $0.5 million as we ramped up our operations and opened new corporate offices in the U.S. and Eastern Europe.

Research and Development Expenses

R&D expenses increased by $1.6 million, from $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase was driven primarily by a $1.4 million rise in consulting and professional fees supporting engineering and product development initiatives as we enhance our current offerings for existing and prospective customers.

Other Income

Change in fair value SAFEs

During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized an expense of $0.8 million associated with the change in fair value of our SAFEs and primarily attributable to the timing and probability in which we anticipated completing a qualified financing to which the SAFEs would be settled and no longer subject to remeasurement each reporting period.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded a final fair value adjustment of $3.5 million immediately prior to the conversion of the SAFEs into convertible preferred stock in connection with the sale of our Series A Preferred Stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Source of Liquidity

We have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $23.5 million and an accumulated deficit of $15.1 million. To date, we have primarily funded our operations through the sale and issuance of SAFEs, the sale of Series A and Series A-1 convertible preferred stock, and the issuance of common stock in our Initial Public Offering. In January 2026, we sold 558,116 shares of Series A-1 convertible preferred stock at a price of $6.2711 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $3.5 million. On March 18, 2026, we completed our Initial Public Offering, in which we issued and sold 3,450,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $5.00 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $17.3 million. Based on our current operating plan and existing cash and cash equivalents, management believes that our current capital resources will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of this prospectus. Our future viability depends on our ability to generate cash from operating activities or to obtain additional capital to finance our operations.

Future Funding Requirements

Our primary uses of cash are to fund our operations, which consist primarily of research and development expenditures related to our product and, to a lesser extent, general and administrative expenditures. We anticipate that we will continue to incur significant and increasing expenses for the foreseeable future as we expand our corporate infrastructure, including the costs associated with being a public company, further our research and development initiatives for our product, and incur costs associated with sales and marketing. We may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may adversely affect our business. We anticipate that we will need substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations.

We believe that our current capital resources, which consist of cash and cash equivalents, will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve months from the date the financial statements included in this prospectus were issued based on our current operating plan. As we continue to pursue our business plan, we may seek to finance our operations through additional equity offerings, debt financings, or other capital sources. However, there can be no assurance that any additional financing or strategic arrangements will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.

Contractual Obligations

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1) and are not required to provide information under this item.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgements and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in its financial statements, as well as the reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be material.

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus, we believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding its historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Simple agreement for future equity (SAFEs)

SAFEs represent instruments that provide a form of financing to the Company and possess characteristics of both a debt and equity instrument. The Company accounts for the SAFEs in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The Company first assessed whether the instrument meets the definition of a liability under ASC 480. The SAFEs include terms that would affect the conversion of the note into shares based on the next round of financing. The SAFE instruments issued have the potential for cash settlement upon the occurrence of certain liquidity events. Accordingly, The SAFEs were determined to be a liability and recorded at fair value.

Table of Contents

This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until a triggering event, equity financing, change in control or dissolution occurs, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statements of operations. The fair value estimate includes significant inputs not observable in market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of our SAFEs is inherently uncertain because it depends on the timing, probability, and terms of future events that are outside our control and may not occur as currently anticipated. These include: the likelihood, timing, and size of the next qualified equity financing; the probability and timing of a liquidity or change-in-control event; and the residual value in a dissolution scenario. The payoff to SAFE holders varies depending on these scenarios, including conversion at a discount and/or valuation cap in an equity financing, cash settlement or conversion in a liquidity event, and priority of payment upon dissolution. Estimating the probabilities and economics of these scenarios requires judgments about our future capital needs, market conditions for private company financings, our operating performance, and enterprise value, none of which are directly observable.

We apply a probability-weighted scenario analysis to capture the range of potential outcomes. Significant inputs typically include: the estimated timing and probability of (i) a qualified equity financing, (ii) a liquidity event, and (iii) a dissolution event; the valuation cap and/or discount rate embedded in each SAFE; the expected time to resolution; the risk-free rate; our estimated enterprise value and equity value per share at the valuation date.

Future changes in the fair value of the SAFE liability will depend on, among other factors, our operating performance, market conditions for private company financings, the terms and timing of any equity financing, developments relating to potential strategic transactions, and changes in risk-free rates and volatility. Actual results may differ materially from our estimates if outcomes deviate from our assumptions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 3 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this registration statement/ prospectus for a description of recent accounting pronouncements applicable to our financial statements.

Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may remain an emerging growth company for up to five years following the completion of our Initial Public Offering. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we are permitted and intend to rely on certain exemptions from various public company reporting requirements, including not being required to have our internal control over financial reporting audited by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments not previously approved. In particular, in this prospectus, we have provided only two years of audited financial statements and have not included all of the executive compensation-related information that would be required if we were not an emerging growth company. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies in which you hold stock.

In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of some accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period, and therefore, we are not subject to the same requirements to adopt new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies; however, we may adopt certain new or revised accounting standards early. We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest to occur of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have $1.235 billion or more in annual revenue; (ii) the date on which we first qualify as a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC; (iii) the date on which we have, in any prior three-year period issued more than $1.0 billion in non- convertible debt securities; and (iv) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the consummation of our Initial Public Offering.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have, during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under standards established by the PCAOB a deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or personnel, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. The PCAOB defines a material weakness as a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis.

We have identified the following material weaknesses in the design of our internal controls:

●

We have not designed and implemented controls to ensure we can record, process, summarize, and report financial data.

●

We did not design and maintain effective controls associated with the timing of when we recognized revenue, and controls related to the timing of when we accrue and recognize expenses.

●

We also do not have a properly designed internal control system that identifies critical processes and key controls.

We are in the process of remediating such material weaknesses and there can be no assurance as to when or if we will fully remediate such material weaknesses. Our plan to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting includes utilizing a portion of the working capital from our Initial Public Offering to increase staffing within our accounting infrastructure sufficient to facilitate proper segregation of accounting functions and to enable appropriate review of our internally prepared consolidated financial statements. In addition, we plan to retain outside consultants, expert in, and specializing in technical accounting and SEC reporting for public company registrants.

BUSINESS

Overview

Swarmer is a provider of autonomous drone swarm software and AI solutions, specializing in vendor- agnostic technologies that address critical operational challenges faced by modern military forces. With a focus on affordability, rapid development, and proven combat performance, Swarmer delivers software platforms and AI systems that enable military organizations to deploy and coordinate large-scale unmanned systems operations without requiring proportional increases in trained operators. Our primary mission areas include autonomous swarm coordination, multi-domain unmanned systems integration, AI-powered collaborative autonomy, and command and control software for distributed robotic operations.

Our combat-tested approach, proven deployment record since 2023, and demonstrated execution of over 100,000 combat missions flown by drones that were equipped with our Swarmer OS, operating at varying degrees of autonomy depending on each end-user’s requirements and tactics, have enabled Swarmer to deliver operational value to drone manufacturers, defense system integrators, and the military end-users they serve. Our key software and AI systems include:

Autonomous Swarm Software Platform

Swarmer UI

Comprehensive platform enabling operators to manage swarms ranging from dozens to hundreds of autonomous drones through an intuitive interface, providing real-time mission planning, execution monitoring, tactical adjustment capabilities, seamless integration with existing battlefield management systems, and secure, high-quality video streaming.

Swarmer AI

Advanced AI enabling autonomous operation and collaborative behavior across heterogeneous drone swarms from multiple manufacturers, coordinating mission execution, enabling shared situational awareness, adapting to dynamic battlefield conditions, and supporting autonomous path planning, target acquisition, threat avoidance, and objective-based operation execution.

Swarmer OS

Proprietary operating system providing mesh networking, military-grade encryption, video streaming, and hardware abstraction capabilities, creating a standardized software layer enabling any drone platform to integrate with the Swarmer ecosystem regardless of manufacturer or underlying hardware configuration.

Industry Update

The global defense industry is experiencing significant transformation driven by continued proliferation of unmanned systems in modern warfare. We believe the war in Ukraine has fundamentally validated drone warfare concepts and accelerated military adoption globally, with both countries producing millions of drones annually. Drone operations have become central to military effectiveness rather than supplementary capabilities, creating unprecedented demand for autonomous coordination software enabling military forces to operate drones at scale without proportional increases in trained pilots. We believe the traditional one- pilot-per-drone model has become a recognized bottleneck.

Major defense forces, including the U.S. Department of Defense, NATO allies, and other democratic nations, have identified autonomous drone operations and collaborative combat aircraft as critical capability gaps requiring immediate investment. Substantial increases in defense procurement budgets are occurring across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East as nations respond to evolving security threats. European nations, particularly those bordering Russia or in proximity to conflict zones, have announced multi-year rearmament programs with significant focus on unmanned systems. Poland, the Baltic states, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom have announced substantial increases in defense spending with unmanned systems representing priority investment areas. Nations across the Middle East and Asia-Pacific regions are similarly expanding military capabilities with unmanned systems featuring prominently.

The U.S. Department of Defense fiscal year 2026 budget request identifies unmanned systems, autonomy, and AI as priority investment areas. The Trump Administration and U.S. Department of Defense leadership have indicated support for increased future

funding. Industry reports project the global military drone market will experience compound annual growth exceeding 12% through 2030, with autonomous systems and swarm technologies representing the highest growth segments.

Market Dynamics and Business Model

The defense drone industry is experiencing fundamental structural transformation. Hardware manufacturing is becoming increasingly fragmented, with hundreds of new drone manufacturers emerging annually in recent years driven by low barriers for entry, availability of commercial off-the-shelf components, and urgent military demand. As competition intensifies, hardware margins are compressing significantly.

Conversely, autonomous software and AI for unmanned systems is trending toward consolidation driven by substantial data requirements. We believe developing robust autonomous capabilities requires extremely large operational datasets accumulated only through extensive real-world deployment. This creates a powerful reinforcement loop: companies with more operational data develop better-performing systems; better-performing systems receive broader deployment; broader deployment generates additional data, further improving performance. This dynamic creates natural barriers to entry and competitive moats for companies achieving early operational deployment at scale.

Our execution of over 100,000 combat missions since 2023 flown by drones that were equipped with our Swarmer OS, operating at varying degrees of autonomy depending on each end-user’s requirements and tactics, has generated an operational dataset of substantial strategic value, providing training data, edge case identification, failure mode analysis, and performance validation that we believe is unavailable to our competitors. This data advantage compounds as continued deployment generates additional data, enabling continuous improvement while competitors without operational access struggle to achieve comparable performance.

Our business model capitalizes on these dynamics through a per-unit software licensing approach that scales favorably as the drone market expands. Rather than fixed-price licenses or time-based subscriptions, we charge manufacturers a per-unit royalty for each drone shipped with our software integrated. This aligns our economics with manufacturer success and creates increasingly attractive unit economics as the market scales.

As hardware unit costs decline due to manufacturing scale, component commoditization, and competitive pressure, our software licensing fees remain stable per unit while our incremental cost to license additional units approaches zero after initial development costs are amortized, creating expanding gross margins. A manufacturer shipping 10,000 units annually generates substantially more revenue for us than one shipping 1,000 units, yet our cost to support the 10x volume increase is only marginally higher.

Furthermore, as drone manufacturers face margin compression from hardware commoditization, we believe our software becomes an increasingly important value differentiator enabling manufacturers to command premium pricing or win competitive procurements based on superior autonomous capabilities, strengthening our negotiating position and customer retention.

Our business model encompasses several complementary revenue streams:

Software Licensing to Manufacturers (Primary Revenue Model)

We license our Swarmer UI, Swarmer AI and Swarmer OS software stack on a per-unit basis, with pricing ranging from $250 to $6,000 per unit depending on drone type, capability level, integration complexity, and volume commitments. This B2B2G model enables manufacturers to enhance products with advanced autonomous capabilities without developing proprietary swarm technology, significantly reducing R&D costs and time-to-market. As manufacturers scale production volumes, our licensing revenue scales proportionally while marginal costs remain minimal, positioning us as an enabling partner to the hardware ecosystem rather than a competitor.

White-Label Integrated Solutions

For manufacturers requiring turnkey solutions, we provide white-labeled offerings where we coordinate hardware sourcing, perform software integration, conduct system testing, and deliver complete operational systems. Pricing ranges from $750 to $30,000 per unit depending on platform complexity, sensor payloads, and mission-specific customization.

Table of Contents

Direct Government Sales (Secondary Model)

For select strategic customers or urgent operational requirements, we offer complete drone sets directly to military organizations, typically priced at approximately $45,000 per set consisting of 10 integrated units. Command and control systems are priced between $25,000 and $50,000 depending on scale and customization. We also provide time-and-materials engineering services for complex integration projects, custom tactical development, and specialized mission planning support.

As the hardware market fragments and demand scales, we expect licensing revenue to represent an increasing proportion of total revenue, driving gross margin expansion.

Our Strategy

Our strategy is to drive growth by delivering combat-proven, vendor-agnostic platforms that fundamentally transform how military forces deploy and operate unmanned systems at scale. Through rapid iteration based on battlefield feedback, we seek to differentiate ourselves from traditional defense contractors, positioning us for sustainable, profitable growth.

Key components of our strategy include:

Leveraging Rapid Development and Deployment Cycles in Operational Environments

We believe our operational deployment in Ukraine since 2023 provides a strategic advantage unavailable to competitors in traditional peacetime development environments. Compressed iteration cycles in active combat operations enable us to test new autonomous concepts, validate tactical approaches, identify system limitations, and deploy capability enhancements on timelines measured in weeks rather than years. This operational tempo gives us a competitive advantage over larger manufacturers whose bureaucratic processes, risk-averse cultures, and peacetime testing requirements prevent rapid iteration.

We identify capability gaps through direct operator feedback, develop software solutions, test in simulation, deploy to operational units, and validate performance in actual combat missions within days. This rapid cycle has enabled execution of over 100,000 combat missions flown by drones that were equipped with our Swarmer OS, operating at varying degrees of autonomy depending on each end-user’s requirements and tactics, generating an operational dataset and capability maturity that we believe would require decades through peacetime approaches. The operational data generated enables training and validation of AI models for autonomous navigation, target recognition, threat response, collaborative coordination, and mission planning across diverse operational conditions. The reinforcement loop created: better data enables better performance, better performance drives increased deployment, increased deployment generates more data, compounding competitive advantages and natural barriers to competitors.

Maintaining Platform Agnosticism to Become the Integration Layer for the Fragmenting Hardware Ecosystem

By designing our software to integrate with drones from any manufacturer, we have positioned Swarmer as an enabling platform rather than a hardware competitor, partnering with leading drone manufacturers.

As hardware manufacturing fragments with hundreds of new manufacturers emerging annually in recent years, the military requirement for interoperability across diverse platforms intensifies. It is impractical for defense forces to maintain separate command and control systems, operator training programs, and tactical procedures for dozens or hundreds of different drone types. Our vendor-agnostic architecture positions us as the integration layer enabling defense organizations to operate diverse drone fleets as coordinated systems, addressing one of the most significant operational challenges facing modern militaries while positioning us to benefit from the entire market’s growth. Our hardware-agnostic approach also provides strategic resilience, as we are not dependent on any single manufacturer’s success and can rapidly onboard new platforms.

Expanding from Air Domain to Multi-Domain Autonomous Operations

We have systematically expanded platform capabilities beyond unmanned aerial vehicles to encompass unmanned ground vehicles, unmanned surface vessels, and planned integration with additional weapon systems including missiles and guidance kits. Our 2025 development roadmap advanced from single-domain operations controlling dozens of aerial drones to multi-domain operations coordinating hundreds of heterogeneous unmanned systems across air, ground, and maritime environments. Our 2026 roadmap targets coordination of thousands of systems and integration with all available third-party data providers, battlefield management systems and situational awareness software.

Table of Contents

Building Toward Western Market Regulatory Compliance

While initially deployed in urgent operational environments with abbreviated procurement timelines, we are developing our product roadmap to achieve compliance with key defense procurement standards including National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) cybersecurity frameworks, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (“DFARS”) requirements, and Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (“CMMC”) standards. As a software-only provider, we already comply with the National Defense Authorization Act (“NDAA”) and other similar standards, and qualify for inclusion in the Blue UAS list given the right opportunity. This planned compliance work, targeted for completion by our 2026 development milestones, will position us to expand to Western democratic nations with more stringent procurement requirements.

Developing a Comprehensive Ecosystem through Strategic Integration Partnerships

We are pursuing strategic partnerships with leading autonomous systems and defense technology providers, developing APIs and integration frameworks to enable third-party developers to build mission- specific capabilities on the Swarmer platform. Our existing partnerships demonstrate our strategy of building a partner ecosystem, and our planned integrations will enable combined solutions where their single- platform autonomy capabilities complement our swarm orchestration software.

Systematically Scaling Operations from Tactical to Strategic Levels

Our product roadmap focuses on systematically increasing the scale and complexity of operations our platform can support. Our 2024 capabilities enabled single operators to control dozens of drones with integration timelines measured in months. Our 2025 capabilities enable control of hundreds of drones with integration timelines reduced to weeks. Our 2026 development targets call for thousand-drone coordination with integration achievable within days, combined with reduced operator training requirements and integration of advanced AI-powered tactical planning, positioning us to support operations at the scale modern defense forces require to achieve decisive advantage through affordable mass deployment of autonomous systems.

Customers

We provide autonomous swarm software platforms and AI systems through a primarily B2B2G model, where our direct customers are drone manufacturers and defense system integrators, who in turn sell integrated systems to government end-users including military forces and defense organizations.

Primary Customers — Drone Manufacturers and System Integrators

Our primary customer base consists of drone manufacturers who license our software for integration with their hardware platforms, including leading manufacturers, as well as emerging manufacturers entering the rapidly expanding military drone market. We also serve defense system integrators who combine drones from multiple manufacturers with our software. Because we have only recently launched our products, a small number of customers have accounted for a substantial amount of our revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2025, one customer, SMS, accounted for substantially all of our revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2024, one customer, SMS, accounted for substantially all of our revenue.

This licensing model provides manufacturers significant value: reduced R&D costs, shortened time-to- market, access to combat-proven software validated through over 100,000 missions flown by drones that were equipped with our Swarmer OS, operating at varying degrees of autonomy depending on each end- user’s requirements and tactics, and ongoing capability enhancements. As hardware margins compress due to market fragmentation and competition, we believe our software becomes an increasingly important differentiator enabling manufacturers to command premium pricing or win competitive procurements.

End-Users Served Through Our Customers

While not our direct customers, the ultimate end-users of Swarmer-enabled systems are military forces and defense organizations, including:

●

National Defense Forces: Military organizations requiring large-scale drone deployment capabilities, with particular focus on forces engaged in active operations requiring immediate operational impact and proven combat effectiveness.

Table of Contents

●

Allied Military Organizations: Coalition partners and allied defense forces seeking to adopt autonomous swarm capabilities through procurement from our manufacturer customers, benefiting from our NATO-aligned positioning and ownership of our intellectual property maintained by our Estonian subsidiary.

●

NATO and Coalition Forces: Defense forces within NATO and aligned coalitions requiring interoperable autonomous capabilities across multinational operations. Our vendor-agnostic platform enables interoperability across diverse equipment sets common in coalition environments.

We believe our B2B2G model provides strategic advantages compared to direct government sales. Drone manufacturers maintain established government relationships, existing contract vehicles, past performance qualifications, and procurement expertise that would take us years to develop independently. By partnering with manufacturers, we accelerate market penetration, reduce customer acquisition costs, avoid lengthy procurement qualification processes, and benefit from manufacturer sales, marketing, and government relations infrastructure.

For select strategic customers or urgent operational requirements, we maintain capability for direct government sales, but view manufacturer partnerships as our primary go-to-market strategy.

License Agreement with SMS

In June 2024, our wholly owned subsidiary, Autonomous Robotic Systems LLC, a Ukrainian limited liability company (“ARS”), entered into a license agreement with SMS, for the use of our proprietary software in SMS’s unmanned aerial system (the “License Agreement”). Under the terms of the License Agreement, SMS may sublicense the software to third parties, subject to restrictions that prohibit SMS from modifying the software or correcting errors therein. The License Agreement includes lump-sum license fees, one-year technical support per license (renewable by addendum), and SMS’s responsibility for cloud infrastructure costs. We retain ownership of all intellectual property rights. The License Agreement renews monthly unless terminated in accordance with its terms. While we continue to provide ongoing support and service to SMS in accordance with the License Agreement, we have not received new orders from SMS pursuant to the License Agreement and we do not expect to receive new orders from SMS in the future.

Manufacturing and Operations

We pursue a software-focused operational model, concentrating internal resources on AI, autonomous systems software, embedded systems development, and command and control interface design. Our development methodology emphasizes rapid prototyping, continuous integration and deployment, and iterative enhancement based on direct operational feedback.

Our engineering operations are distributed with offices in Kyiv, Ukraine and Warsaw, Poland, with our marketing and sales office in Austin, Texas, providing proximity to operational users enabling direct feedback incorporation, access to Eastern European engineering talent, time zone coverage enabling continuous development, and operational resilience.

Our software development follows development operations practices with continuous delivery pipelines enabling rapid deployment of capability enhancements, bug fixes, and new features. Unlike traditional defense software with multi-year update cycles, we believe our operational deployment model enables software updates on timelines measured in weeks. We employ extensive simulation and synthetic training environments including our Swarmer UI simulator enabling development, testing, and validation of new autonomous behaviors, swarm coordination algorithms, and tactical procedures before deployment. Additionally, we deliver our software platforms initially via file transfer and thereafter deliver any necessary updates over the air (“OTA”).

This simulation capability, combined with our operational feedback loop from over 100,000 combat missions flown by drones that were equipped with our Swarmer OS, operating at varying degrees of autonomy depending on each end-user’s requirements and tactics, significantly reduces time required to advance capabilities from concept to combat deployment. Our proximity to operational users in Ukraine through our Kyiv engineering office provides immediate access to operator feedback, battlefield lessons, and evolving tactical requirements.

We maintain strategic relationships with hardware manufacturing partners based on their production quality, ability to scale manufacturing, platform performance characteristics, and willingness to support deep software integration. Our vendor-agnostic architecture enables us to rapidly onboard new hardware platforms, typically achieving initial integration within weeks and full capability integration within months.

Table of Contents

For certain high-priority applications or strategic customers, we coordinate turnkey solutions where we manage hardware sourcing, perform software integration, conduct system testing, and deliver complete operational systems. However, our primary operational focus remains software development, AI training, and integration support, with hardware manufacturing performed by our partner ecosystem. This asset-light operational model enables us to scale rapidly without capital-intensive manufacturing investments.

Competition

The autonomous swarm and multi-drone coordination market is highly competitive and rapidly evolving. Principal competitors include Palladyne AI, Swarm Aero, Autonodyne and Avalor AI. Vertically- integrated drone vendors who claim certain levels of autonomy include Helsing AI, Ark Robotics, Skydio, and Shield AI. Additionally, larger defense prime contractors including Anduril Industries, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Raytheon Technologies, and L3Harris represent competitive threats.

Many competitors have substantially greater financial resources, established government relationships, existing contract vehicles, broader geographic presence, larger engineering organizations, and more extensive operational experience. Some competitors benefit from significant venture capital or private equity backing enabling sustained losses while building market position. Competitors with proprietary hardware platforms may bundle autonomous software with hardware sales. Large defense contractors possess extensive past performance qualifications, security clearances, facility clearances, and procurement relationships developed over decades.

We seek to differentiate ourselves through several key competitive advantages:

Operational Validation through Combat Deployment

Our execution of over 100,000 combat missions since 2023 flown by drones that were equipped with our Swarmer OS, operating at varying degrees of autonomy depending on each end-user’s requirements and tactics, provides operational validation that we believe is unavailable to our competitors relying solely on testing, simulation, or limited peacetime deployments. This combat-proven track record directly addresses customer concerns about system reliability, performance under stress, and tactical effectiveness. For military customers facing immediate operational requirements, particularly in Europe where threat proximity creates urgency, our demonstrated combat effectiveness provides compelling differentiation.

Rapid Iteration Velocity

Our development cycle compressed by active combat environment deployment enables capability enhancement velocities that we believe are unachievable by competitors in traditional peacetime development environments. Where we believe that our competitors require months or years to develop their technology, we identify requirements, develop solutions, and deploy to operational units within days.

Vendor-Agnostic Platform Approach

Our architecture supporting any drone hardware rather than requiring proprietary platforms differentiates us from competitors tied to specific hardware ecosystems. As hardware manufacturing fragments, military customers increasingly require interoperability across diverse platforms rather than vendor lock-in.

Operational Data Advantage

Our 100,000-plus mission-dataset enables AI training and validation across operational conditions, edge cases, and threat environments that we believe are unavailable to our competitors. This data advantage compounds over time as better data enables better performance, driving increased deployment and additional data collection. Competitors without operational deployment access face fundamental limitations in achieving comparable autonomous capability maturity.

Multi-Domain Capability Breadth

Our support for unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned ground vehicles, and unmanned surface vessels with planned expansion to missiles and artillery provides broader operational utility than single-domain focused competitors.

Government Regulation

As a provider of defense technology software deployed in military operations, our products and business operations are subject to various international laws, export control regulations, and defense procurement requirements.

Table of Contents

In our primary operational markets, we work with defense organizations and drone manufacturers under direct commercial contracts and through authorized defense cooperation channels. Our software platforms comply with operational security requirements, encrypted communications standards, military cybersecurity frameworks, and rules of engagement governing autonomous weapons systems employment. We have designed our products with human-in-the-loop architecture ensuring human operators maintain authority over lethal force decisions, consistent with emerging international norms.

As we expand into Western markets including the U.S. and NATO countries, we anticipate requirements for compliance with additional regulatory frameworks including NIST cybersecurity standards, DFARS requirements, CMMC frameworks, and NDAA provisions regarding technology sourcing, cybersecurity, and supply chain security. Our product roadmap includes planned compliance work to meet these standards by 2026.

Export control regulations present significant considerations for international sales. In the U.S., regulatory frameworks govern transfer of defense technology across international borders. Similar regulations exist in EU countries through EU export control regimes.

As we expand internationally and potentially establish operations in the U.S., we will need to navigate both EU and U.S. export control frameworks. We have structured our intellectual property ownership, development practices, and corporate structure to facilitate regulatory compliance while maintaining our ability to support allied and coalition partner operations.

The regulatory landscape for autonomous weapons systems continues to evolve. Various international bodies, defense ministries, and ethics organizations are developing guidelines and requirements for meaningful human control, algorithmic accountability, and transparency. We actively monitor these developments and have designed our products to align with emerging best practices including maintaining human authority over weapon employment decisions, providing operational transparency, enabling operator override capabilities, and implementing rigorous testing and validation frameworks.

Our software is designed to comply with the U.S. Department of Defense’s ethical principles for AI including responsible AI development, appropriate levels of human judgment, reliability and robustness, and protection against unintended bias. We maintain processes for algorithmic testing, validation, and continuous monitoring. As regulatory frameworks mature, we expect continued evolution of requirements in areas including AI explainability, algorithmic validation, cybersecurity standards, and operational testing protocols.

Our use of AI methods is focused on solving specific, well-defined problems, including object classification, optimal path selection, target assignment, mission template generation, and others. AI modules are always used within a framework of rule-based software that a) limits the options each AI module is working within, b) provides clear explainability, and c) allows the user to perform after-action reviews and understand what happened and who was responsible. We do not use AI to determine mission objectives or to make decisions that were not already pre-authorized by a human operator; rather, we ensure that a human is involved and is ultimately responsible for the actions of the system as a whole. All our AI modules are trained on proprietary data, the majority of which was either gathered by us (from combat missions performed by systems that employed our software) or hand-picked by us and licensed from third parties.

The data is carefully selected, deduplicated and annotated before use for training purposes, resulting in a proprietary dataset that makes our models unique and difficult to replicate. In addition, our use of AI for well-defined tasks localizes possible errors and precludes hallucinations, since each AI module can only choose from a limited range of possible outputs (unlike more popular types of AI models that can generate a wide variety of outputs with few guardrails). Such use allows us to take advantage of the benefits of machine learning techniques in domains in which such techniques outperform traditional rule-based methods, while still maintaining the predictability and explainability of rule-based systems.

Commitments and Pipeline

We have firm commitments, representing executed contracts for software licenses, hardware integration services, and system deliveries which are projected by our customers to take place over the subsequent 12 to 24 months, totaling $16.3 million in projected revenue. We also expect to receive an additional $16.8 million in anticipated revenue over the same timeframe as outlined in memoranda of understanding with certain of our existing customers, for an aggregate total of $33.1 million in expected revenue which amount assumes no revenue from SMS, who accounted for substantially all of our revenue during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. We expect to recognize a substantial portion of the aggregate total as revenue during 2026, with the balance expected to be recognized in 2027 and early 2028, subject to customer acceptance milestones, delivery schedules, and funding availability.

Table of Contents

Our commitments consist primarily of software licensing agreements with drone manufacturers for integration with their production units. As manufacturers ramp up production to meet expanding military demand, particularly in Europe where defense procurement is accelerating, our commitments convert to revenue proportional to their unit shipments, creating revenue visibility extending beyond reported backlog figures.

Additionally, we maintain an opportunity pipeline of potential contracts and programs under active discussion, proposal development, or procurement evaluation. This pipeline includes manufacturer partnership discussions, direct government procurement opportunities, and system integrator teaming arrangements.

Our commitments are currently concentrated among defense organizations and drone manufacturers in Europe and the Middle East, reflecting our current operational deployment concentrations. As we expand into additional geographic markets, complete compliance infrastructure for Western defense procurement, and broaden our manufacturer partnership base, we anticipate diversification of our customer mix. The fragmentation of drone manufacturing with hundreds of new entrants annually in recent years creates expanding partnership opportunities, and as each manufacturer scales production, our per-unit licensing model converts their growth directly into our revenue growth.

Firm and anticipated commitment figures should be viewed as indicators of near-term revenue visibility but are subject to modification, cancellation, or delay due to customer operational requirements, funding availability, production schedule changes, or other factors common in defense contracting. Defense contracts typically include provisions enabling customers to modify scope, adjust quantities, delay performance, or terminate for convenience. Additionally, manufacturer production schedules may be affected by component availability, supply chain disruptions, funding delays, or changes in military procurement priorities.

Intellectual Property

Our success depends on our proprietary technology, the intellectual capabilities of our engineering team, and our ability to continuously innovate in autonomous systems and AI. We rely on trade secret protection, copyright, contractual restrictions, and operational security measures to establish and protect our intellectual property.

We maintain proprietary software including our Swarmer UI command and control platform, Swarmer AI autonomy and collaboration AI, and Swarmer OS embedded operating system as trade secrets, protected through access controls, confidentiality agreements, and secure development practices. We retain ownership of core intellectual property in our autonomous coordination algorithms, swarm behavior models, AI training approaches, and integration architectures developed through our internally-funded research and development investments.

Where appropriate, we pursue patent protection for novel inventions. We currently have one (1) pending provisional application and two (2) pending non-provisional patent applications in the U.S. in process related to swarm coordination technologies, 3D localizations and navigation in GNSS-denied environments, and windage adjustment to improve the accuracy of multiple projectiles aiming at the same target. However, we do not consider our business materially dependent on any individual patent that may result from such patent applications, and much of our competitive advantage derives from trade secrets, operational know-how, our operational data advantage, rapid development capabilities, and first-mover advantages in operational deployment.

The operational dataset accumulated through over 100,000 combat missions flown by drones that were equipped with our Swarmer OS, operating at varying degrees of autonomy depending on each end-user’s requirements and tactics, represents a particularly valuable form of intellectual property that cannot be easily replicated. This data includes mission telemetry, autonomous decision logs, sensor data across diverse operational conditions, performance metrics, failure modes, edge case scenarios, and tactical effectiveness measurements. The quantity, diversity, and operational relevance of this dataset create a substantial barrier to entry, as accumulating comparable data would require years of similar operational deployments, which are inherently limited.

We maintain strict controls on access to source code, proprietary algorithms, and operational data. Our development processes include code review, security testing, and operational security measures designed to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure. We require employees, contractors, and partners with access to proprietary technology to execute comprehensive confidentiality and

Table of Contents

intellectual property assignment agreements, and we perform strict background checks (including polygraphs and psychological evaluations) as part of our hiring process. We also implement technical measures including code obfuscation, encrypted communications, secure deployment mechanisms, and runtime protection to safeguard our software.

As we expand into Western defense markets, we continue to evaluate our IP strategy to balance protection of competitive advantages with operational flexibility and customer requirements. Defense contracts often include provisions regarding technical data rights, background intellectual property, and government purpose rights. We structure contract vehicles to retain maximum intellectual property rights where possible, particularly for core platform capabilities, algorithms, and software components developed through our internal investments.

Legal Proceedings

We are not currently involved in any material legal proceedings. In the ordinary course of business, we may become involved in legal proceedings, claims, or disputes relating to commercial matters, contracts, intellectual property, regulatory compliance, employment matters, or other issues common in the defense technology industry. While it is not possible to predict outcomes of potential future matters with certainty, based on our current knowledge we do not anticipate any proceedings that would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

Regardless of outcome, legal proceedings can have adverse impacts including defense costs, diversion of management attention, potential reputational effects, and uncertainty affecting customer and partner relationships. As we expand operations, increase headcount, broaden our customer base, enter additional regulatory jurisdictions, and engage with larger defense contractors and government entities with greater propensity for contractual disputes, our exposure to potential legal proceedings and regulatory matters may increase.

Employees and Human Capital

As of June 1, 2026, we employed 62 full-time employees and 59 contractors across engineering, operations, business development, and administrative functions, with (i) 11 employees and 8 contractors employed and contracted by Swarmer, Inc in the U.S., (ii) 51 employees employed by ARS in Ukraine and (iii) 51 contractors contracted by Swarmer Estonia OÜ in Estonia. Our workforce is geographically distributed with an engineering office in Kyiv, Ukraine and Warsaw, Poland and marketing and sales in Austin, Texas, providing access to specialized talent pools, operational proximity to deployed systems, round-the-clock development capability, and operational resilience.

Our employees represent our most valuable asset. The nature of our business requires software engineers with expertise in autonomous systems, AI, embedded systems, robotics, computer vision, distributed systems, and real-time control systems — specializations facing significant talent shortages globally. We compete for talent with established technology companies offering higher base compensation, well-funded defense technology startups with substantial venture capital backing, and traditional defense contractors with established benefits packages.

We face unique challenges recruiting and retaining talent in our Kyiv office due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. While operational proximity to deployed systems and direct engagement with operational users provides meaningful professional development and mission-driven motivation, the security situation, infrastructure disruptions, and personal hardships create retention challenges. We have implemented support programs including flexible remote work policies, hardship compensation adjustments, and assistance with relocation for employees facing acute security situations, but the operational environment remains a material human capital challenge.

Table of Contents

We strive to attract and retain talent through several mechanisms beyond base compensation. We offer equity participation on a case-by-case basis enabling employees to benefit directly from company success. Our engineers work on cutting-edge autonomous systems technology deployed in actual combat operations rather than theoretical research or peacetime applications, providing unique professional development opportunities. Our rapid development cycles provide accelerated career progression compared to traditional defense contractors where we believe that development cycles span years. Our mission-driven culture focused on technologies with immediate real-world impact provides meaningful motivation for team members aligned with our values.

As we scale operations, expand into new markets, and increase the complexity and scope of our product offerings, we anticipate significant growth in headcount. Our engineering team will need to expand to support broader platform integration, development of advanced AI capabilities, expansion into multi- domain coordination capabilities, and development of compliance infrastructure for Western market entry. We will need to build out regulatory compliance, government relations, and business development capabilities to support expansion into U.S. and NATO procurement channels. Operations, integrations and customer success functions will need to scale to support growing manufacturer partnerships and expanding deployed system base.

Our ability to successfully recruit, onboard, and retain qualified personnel while maintaining our culture, development velocity, and operational effectiveness will be critical to executing our growth strategy. Competition for qualified talent, particularly software engineers with relevant autonomous systems experience, remains intense.

Despite these challenges, we believe our unique value proposition — mission-driven work with immediate operational impact, cutting-edge technology development, rapid career progression, equity participation, and international team environment — positions us competitively in recruiting talent aligned with our culture and mission, even where we cannot match absolute compensation levels of larger competitors.

Board Composition

Our board of directors consists of eight (8) members. All of our directors are members pursuant to the board composition provisions of our Charter and our Bylaws. Our nominating and corporate governance committee and our board of directors consider a broad range of factors relating to the qualifications and background of nominees, which may include diversity, which is not only limited to race, gender or national origin. We have no formal policy regarding board diversity. Our nominating and corporate governance committee’s and board of directors’ priority in selecting board members is identification of persons who will further the interests of our stockholders through his or her established record of professional accomplishment, the ability to contribute positively to the collaborative culture among board members, knowledge of our business, understanding of the competitive landscape and professional and personal experiences and expertise relevant to our growth strategy. Our directors hold office until their successors have been elected and qualified or until the earlier of their death, resignation or removal. Our Charter and Bylaws provide that our directors may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the votes that all our stockholders would be entitled to cast in an annual election of directors, and that any vacancy on our board of directors, including a vacancy resulting from an enlargement of our board of directors, may be filled only by vote of a majority of our directors then in office.

Director Independence

Our shares are currently listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “SWMR.” Under the Nasdaq listing rules, independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors within 12 months from the date of listing. In addition, the Nasdaq listing rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and governance committees be independent within 12 months from the date of listing. Audit committee members must also satisfy additional independence criteria, including those set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act, and compensation committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act. Pursuant to Rule 10A-3, a minority of a company’s audit committee may be comprised of non-independent directors for a period of up to one year after becoming subject to Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Under Nasdaq listing rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of directors, or any other board committee: (1) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries, other than compensation for board service; or (2) be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries. In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10C-1, the board of directors must consider, for each member of a compensation committee of a listed company, all factors specifically relevant to determining whether a director has a relationship to such company which is material to that director’s ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a compensation committee member, including, but not limited to: the source of compensation of the director, including any consulting advisory or other compensatory fee paid by such company to the director, and whether the director is affiliated with the company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Our board of directors has determined that all members of our board of directors, except Serhii Kupriienko and Alexander Fink, are independent directors, including for purposes of the rules of Nasdaq and relevant federal securities laws and regulations. In making such independence determinations, our board of directors considered the relationships that each nonemployee director has with us and all other facts and circumstances that our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director. In considering the independence of the directors listed above, our board of directors considered the association of our directors with the holders of more than 5% of our common stock. Following the completion of our Initial Public Offering, the composition and functioning of our board of directors and each of our committees comply with all applicable requirements of Nasdaq and the rules and regulations of the SEC. There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers. Serhii Kupriienko and Alexander Fink are not independent directors under these rules because each is an executive officer.

Staggered Board

In accordance with the terms of our Charter and Bylaws, our board of directors is divided into three staggered classes of directors of the same or nearly the same number and each are assigned to one of the three classes. At each annual meeting of the stockholders, a class of directors will be elected for a three-year term to succeed the directors of the same class whose terms are then expiring. Our directors are divided among the three classes as follows:

●

our Class I directors are Justin Zeefe and Edward Antoian, and their terms will expire at our first annual meeting of stockholders to be held after the closing of the Initial Public Offering;

Table of Contents

●

our Class II directors are Amir Frenkel, Derek Reisfield and Philip Wagenheim, and their terms will expire at our second annual meeting of stockholders to be held after the closing of the Initial Public Offering; and

●

our Class III directors are Alexander Fink, Erik Prince and Serhii Kupriienko, and their terms will expire at our third annual meeting of stockholders to be held after the closing of the Initial Public Offering.

Our Charter and Bylaws provide that the number of our directors shall be fixed from time to time by a resolution of the majority of our board of directors. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes.

The division of our board of directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent stockholder efforts to effect a change of our management or a change in control. See the “Description of Capital Stock — Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law, Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Our Amended and Restated Bylaws” section of this prospectus for a discussion of these and other anti-takeover provisions found in our Charter and Bylaws.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors has established an audit committee, a compensation committee, and a nominating and corporate governance committee, each of which operates pursuant to a charter adopted by our board of directors.

The composition of our compensation committee meets the requirements for independence under the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market, including the applicable transition rules.

Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

The positions of our chairman of the board and chief executive officer are separated, with Serhii Kupriienko serving as our Chief Executive Officer (Global) and Erik Prince serving as the chairman of our board of directors. Separating these positions allows Mr. Kupriienko to focus on our day-to-day business, while allowing Mr. Prince to lead the board of directors in its fundamental role of providing advice to and independent oversight of management. Alexander Fink, our Chief Executive Officer (U.S.) and President, reports directly to Mr. Kupriienko in his capacity as our Chief Executive Officer (Global). Our board of directors recognizes the time, effort and energy that Mr. Kupriienko, as our Chief Executive Officer (Global), must devote to his position in the current business environment, as well as the commitment required by Mr. Prince to serve as our chairman, particularly as the board of directors’ oversight responsibilities continue to grow. Our board of directors also believes that this structure ensures a greater role for the independent directors in the oversight of our company and active participation of the independent directors in setting agendas and establishing priorities and procedures for the work of our board of directors. Our board of directors believes its administration of its risk oversight function has not affected its leadership structure. Our board of directors believes that having separate positions is the appropriate leadership structure for us at this time and demonstrates our commitment to good corporate governance.

Our board of directors oversees the management of risks inherent in the operation of our business and the implementation of our business strategies. Our board of directors performs this oversight role by using several different levels of review. In connection with its reviews of our operations and corporate functions, our board of directors addresses the primary risks associated with those operations and corporate functions.

In addition, our board of directors reviews the risks associated with our business strategies periodically throughout the year as part of its consideration of undertaking any such business strategies.

Each of our board committees also oversees the management of our risks that fall within the committee’s areas of responsibility. In performing this function, each committee has full access to management, as well as the ability to engage advisors. Our Chief Executive Officer (Global) reports to the audit committee and is responsible for identifying, evaluating and implementing risk management controls and methodologies to address any identified risks. In connection with its risk management role, our audit committee meets privately with representatives from our independent registered public accounting firm and our Chief Executive Officer (Global). The audit committee oversees the operation of our risk management program, including the identification of the primary risks associated with our business and periodic updates to such risks, and reports to our board of directors regarding these activities.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the members of our compensation committee has at any time during the prior three years been one of our officers or employees. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past fiscal year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our board of directors or compensation committee. For a description of transactions between us and members of our compensation committee and affiliates of such members, please see the “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” section of this prospectus.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our code of business conduct and ethics applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting. Our code of business conduct and ethics is available on our website at https://investors.getswarmer.com/. We intend to disclose any amendments to the code, or any waivers of its requirements, on our website or in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

To our knowledge, there have been no events under any bankruptcy act, no criminal proceedings and no federal or state judicial or administrative orders, judgments or decrees or findings, no violations of any federal or state securities law, and no violations of any federal commodities law material to the evaluation of the ability and integrity of any director or executive officer of the Company during the past 10 years.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table

Base Salaries

Each named executive officer’s base salary is a fixed component of annual compensation for performing specific duties and functions, and has been established by our board of directors taking into account each individual’s role, responsibilities, skills and expertise.

Equity Compensation

Although we do not have a formal policy with respect to the grant of equity incentive awards to our executive officers, we believe that equity grants provide our executives with a strong link to our long-term performance, create an ownership culture and help to align the interests of our executives and our stockholders. In addition, we believe that equity grants promote executive retention because they incentivize our executive officers to remain in our employment during the vesting period. Accordingly, our board of directors periodically reviews the equity incentive compensation of our named executive officers and may grant equity incentive

awards to them from time to time. Our named executive officers have been granted certain options to purchase shares of our common stock, as described in more detail in the “Outstanding Equity Awards at 2024 Fiscal Year-end” table below.

Employment Agreements

We have entered into employment agreements with each of our named executive officers in connection with their employment with us, the material terms of which are described below. These executive employment agreements provide for “at will” employment, subject to certain notice and severance requirements. Each of the named executive officers was also required to enter into restrictive covenant agreements which obligate each named executive officer to refrain from disclosing any of our proprietary information received during the course of employment and to assign to us any inventions conceived or developed during the course of employment. Such restrictive covenant agreements also contain non-competition and non-solicitation protections in our favor.

Serhii Kupriienko We entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Kupriienko with respect to his service as Secretary and Chief Executive Officer (Global) on September 22, 2025, as amended by the Amendment to the Employment Agreement on February 18, 2026. Under the terms of the agreement, as amended, Mr. Kupriienko is entitled to an initial annual base salary of $250,000. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement, as amended, Mr. Kupriienko received 1,341,840 restricted stock units (the “Kupriienko RSUs”) and 400,000 options (the “Kupriienko Options”) at an exercise price equal to $5.00 per share in connection with the consummation of our Initial Public Offering. The Kupriienko RSUs and the Kupriienko Options shall vest, subject to Mr. Kupriienko’s continued employment, in 1/48th monthly installments on each monthly anniversary of the date of grant, commencing on the first month anniversary of the date of grant; provided, however, that 100% of the Kupriienko RSUs and Kupriienko Options shall vest upon a change of control.

Alexander Fink We entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Fink with respect to his service as President and Chief Executive Officer (U.S.) on September 22, 2025, as amended by the Amendment to the Employment Agreement on February 18, 2026. Under the terms of the agreement, as amended, Mr. Fink is entitled to an initial annual base salary of $250,000. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Fink received 1,341,840 restricted stock units (the “Fink RSUs”, and together with the Kupriienko RSUs. the “Management RSUs”) and 400,000 options (the “Fink Options”, and together with the Kupriienko Options, the “Management Options”) at an exercise price equal to $5.00 per share in connection with the consummation of our Initial Public Offering.

Compensation Risk Assessment

We believe that although a portion of the compensation provided to our executive officers and other employees is performance-based, our executive compensation program does not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk taking. This is primarily due to the fact that our compensation programs are designed to encourage our executive officers and other employees to remain focused on both short-term and long-term strategic goals. As a result, we do not believe that our compensation programs are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

Equity Compensation Plans

Our equity compensation plans were established to attract, retain and motivate our employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors by providing them with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in us and to align their interests and efforts with the long-term interests of our stockholders.

2026 Equity Incentive Plan

Our board of directors adopted, and our stockholders approved, the 2026 Equity Incentive Plan upon the closing of our Initial Public Offering. Our 2026 Plan is a successor to our 2024 Stock Plan and became effective on the execution of the underwriting agreement in connection with our Initial Public Offering. No further grants were made under our 2024 Stock Plan upon our 2026 plan becoming effective.

Eligibility. The 2026 Plan allows us, under the direction of our compensation committee, to make grants of stock options, restricted and unrestricted stock awards, restricted stock units and other stock- based awards to employees, consultants and directors who, in the opinion of the compensation committee, are in a position to make a significant contribution to our long-term success. All employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates will be eligible to participate in the 2026 Plan.

Shares Available for Issuance. The 2026 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 5,400,000 shares of our common stock plus a number of additional shares to be issued if awards outstanding under our 2024 Stock Plan are cancelled or expire. Generally, shares of common stock reserved for awards under the 2026 Plan that lapse or are cancelled (other than by exercise) will be added back to the share reserve available for future awards. However, shares of common stock tendered in payment for an award or shares of common stock withheld for taxes are not available again for future awards. In addition, shares repurchased by the Company with the proceeds of the option exercise price may not be reissued under the 2026 Plan.

Stock Options. Stock options granted under the 2026 Plan may either be incentive stock options, which are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, or non-qualified stock options, which are not intended to meet those requirements. Incentive Stock Options may be granted to employees of the Company and its affiliates. Non-qualified options may be granted to employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates and the term of the option may not be longer than ten years. The exercise price of a stock option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. If an incentive stock option is granted to an individual who owns more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of our capital stock, the exercise price may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant and the term of the option may not be longer than five years.

Award agreements for stock options include rules for exercise of the stock options after termination of service. Options may not be exercised unless they are vested, and no option may be exercised after the end of the term set forth in the award agreement. Generally, stock options will be exercisable for three months after termination of service for any reason other than death or total and permanent disability, and for 12 months after termination of service on account of death or total and permanent disability but will not be exercisable if the termination of service was due to cause.

Restricted Stock. Restricted stock is common stock that is subject to restrictions, including a prohibition against transfer and a substantial risk of forfeiture, until the end of a “restricted period” during which the grantee must satisfy certain time or performance-based vesting conditions. If the grantee does not satisfy the vesting conditions by the end of the restricted period, the restricted stock is forfeited.

During the restricted period, the holder of restricted stock has the rights and privileges of a regular stockholder, except that the holder of such restricted stock is not entitled to receive dividends during the restricted period and the restrictions set forth in the applicable award agreement apply. For example, the holder of restricted stock may vote the restricted shares; but he or she may not sell the shares until the restrictions are lifted.

Restricted Stock Units. Restricted stock units are phantom shares that vest in accordance with terms and conditions established by the compensation committee and when the applicable restrictions lapse, the grantee shall be entitled to receive a payout in cash, shares or a combination thereof based on the number of restricted stock units as specified in the award agreement. Dividend equivalents may accrue but shall not be paid prior to, and only to the extent that the restricted stock unit award vests.

Table of Contents

Other Stock-Based Awards. The 2026 Plan authorizes the grant of other types of stock-based compensation including, but not limited to stock appreciation rights, and phantom stock awards. Our board of directors or an authorized committee may award such stock-based awards subject to such conditions and restrictions as it may determine. These conditions and restrictions may include continued employment with us through a specified restricted period or achievement of one or more performance goals.

Plan Administration. In accordance with the terms of the 2026 Plan, our board of directors authorized our compensation committee to administer the 2026 Plan. The compensation committee may delegate part of its authority and powers under the 2026 Plan to one or more of our directors and/or officers, but only the compensation committee can make awards to participants who are subject to the reporting and other requirements of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In accordance with the provisions of the 2026 Plan, our compensation committee determines the terms of awards, including:

●

which employees, directors and consultants will be granted awards;

●

the number of shares subject to each award;

●

the vesting provisions of each award;

●

the termination or cancellation provisions applicable to awards; and

●

all other terms and conditions upon which each award may be granted in accordance with the 2026 Plan.

In addition, our compensation committee may, in its discretion, amend any term or condition of an outstanding award provided (i) such term or condition as amended is permitted by our 2026 Plan, and (ii) any such amendment shall be made only with the consent of the participant to whom such award was made, if the amendment adversely affects the rights of the participant unless such amendment is required by applicable law or necessary to preserve the economic value of such award.

Changes in Capitalization. If our common stock shall be subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares or if we issue any shares of common stock as a stock dividend, the number of shares of our common stock deliverable upon exercise of an option issued or upon issuance of an award shall be appropriately increased or decreased proportionately, and appropriate adjustments shall be made in the exercise price per share of stock options or purchase price, if any, and performance goals applicable to performance-based awards, if any, to reflect such subdivision, combination or stock dividend.

Corporate Transactions. If we are to be consolidated with or acquired by another entity in a merger or other reorganization event, our board of directors, may, in its sole discretion, take any one or more of the following actions pursuant to our 2026 Plan, as to some or all outstanding awards:

●

provide that all outstanding options shall be assumed or substituted by the successor corporation;

●

upon written notice to a participant provide that the participant’s unexercised options will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction unless exercised by the participant;

●

in the event of a merger pursuant to which holders of our common stock will receive a cash payment or other consideration for each share surrendered in the merger, make or provide for a payment to the participants equal to the difference between the merger price times the number of shares of our common stock subject to such outstanding options, and the aggregate exercise price of all such outstanding options, in exchange for the termination of such options;

●

provide that outstanding stock-based awards shall be assumed or substituted by the successor corporation, become realizable or deliverable, or restrictions applicable to an award will lapse, in whole or in part, prior to or upon the merger or reorganization event; and

●

with respect to stock-based awards and in lieu of any of the foregoing, our board of directors or an authorized committee may provide that, upon consummation of the transaction, each outstanding stock based award shall be terminated in exchange for payment of an amount equal to the cash or other consideration payable upon consummation of such transaction to a holder of the number of shares of common stock comprising such award (to the extent such stock based award is no longer subject to

Table of Contents

any forfeiture or repurchase rights then in effect or, at the discretion of our board of directors or an authorized committee, all forfeiture and repurchase rights being waived upon such transaction).

Amendment and Termination. The 2026 Plan may be amended by our stockholders. It may also be amended by our compensation committee, provided that any amendment approved by our compensation committee which is of a scope that requires stockholder approval as required by (i) the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, (ii) in order to ensure favorable federal income tax treatment for any incentive stock options under Code Section 422 or (iii) for any other reason, is subject to obtaining such stockholder approval. However, no such action may adversely affect any rights under any outstanding award without the holder’s consent unless such amendment is required by applicable law or necessary to preserve the economic value of such award.

Duration of Plan. The 2026 Plan will expire by its terms on February 18, 2036.

2024 Stock Plan

Our board of directors adopted, and our stockholders approved, the 2024 Stock Plan in January 2024. The 2024 Stock Plan was amended in August 2024, September 2025 and December 2025. We will not grant any new awards under the 2024 Stock Plan. However, any outstanding stock awards granted under the 2024 Stock Plan will remain outstanding, subject to the terms of our 2024 Stock Plan and award agreements, until such awards are exercised, terminated or expire in accordance with their terms.

Eligibility. The 2024 Stock Plan allows us to make grants of stock options and restricted stock awards to our employees, officers, directors, and consultants, including employees and consultants of our affiliates. All employees, directors, and consultants of the Company and its affiliates are eligible to participate in the 2024 Stock Plan.

Shares Available for Issuance. The 2024 Stock Plan provides for the issuance of up to 3,846,046 shares of our common stock, subject to certain capitalization adjustments. Shares of common stock reserved for awards under the 2024 Stock Plan that (i) expire or become unexercisable without being exercised in full, (ii) are surrendered pursuant to an option exchange program (as defined in the 2024 Stock Plan), (iii) are withheld upon exercise of an award to satisfy the exercise or purchase price of such award or to cover tax withholding obligations, or (iv) are forfeited to or repurchased by us due to a failure to vest, are added back to the share reserve available for future awards. The maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options under our 2024 Stock Plan is 3,846,046 shares, plus the shares that are added back to the share reserve available for future awards.

Stock Options. Stock options granted under the 2024 Stock Plan may either be incentive stock options, which are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, or nonstatutory stock options, which are not intended to meet those requirements. Incentive stock options may be granted to our employees and employees of any parent or subsidiary. Nonstatutory stock options may be granted to employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates.

The exercise price per share of all stock options generally must equal at least 100% of the fair market value per share of our common stock on the date of grant. The term of a stock option may not exceed ten years. An incentive stock option granted to a participant who, on the date of grant, owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any parent or subsidiary may not have a term in excess of five years and must have an exercise price of at least 110% of the fair market value per share of our common stock on the date of grant.

Award agreements for stock options include rules for the exercise of the stock options after termination of service. Options may not be exercised unless they are vested, and no option may be exercised after the end of the term set forth in the award agreement. Generally, stock options are exercisable for three months after termination of service for any reason other than death or total and permanent disability, and for 12 months after termination of service on account of death or total and permanent disability but are not exercisable if the termination of service was due to cause.

Restricted Stock. Restricted stock awards are grants of shares of our common stock that are subject to restrictions, including a prohibition against transfer and a substantial risk of forfeiture, until the end of a restricted period.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

General

Our authorized capital stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share, all of which are undesignated. As of June 1, 2026, there were 11,210,256 shares of our common stock issued, which includes 352,743 shares of unvested restricted stock, 10,710,536 shares of our common stock outstanding, zero shares of preferred stock issued and zero shares of our preferred stock outstanding. As of June 1, 2026, we had approximately 38 record holders of our capital stock.

The following description of our capital stock and provisions of our Charter and Bylaws are summaries of material terms and provisions and are qualified by reference to our Charter and Bylaws, copies of which will be filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The descriptions of our common stock and preferred stock reflect the content of the Charter and Bylaws.

Common Stock

We are authorized to issue one class of common stock. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held of record for the election of directors and on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends ratably, if any, as may be declared by our board of directors out of legally available funds, subject to any preferential dividend rights of any preferred stock then outstanding. Upon our dissolution, liquidation or winding up, holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in our net assets legally available after the payment of all our debts and other liabilities, subject to the preferential rights of any preferred stock then outstanding. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. Our outstanding shares of common stock are, and the shares offered by us in this offering will be, when issued and paid for, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future. Except as described under the “— Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law, Our Charter and Our Bylaws” section below, a majority vote of the holders of common stock is generally required to take action under our Charter and Bylaws.

Preferred Stock

Our board of directors is authorized, without action by our stockholders, to designate and issue up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series. Our board of directors can designate the rights, preferences and privileges of the shares of each series and any of its qualifications, limitations or restrictions. Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible future financings and acquisitions and other corporate purposes could, under certain circumstances, have the effect of restricting dividends on our common stock, diluting the voting power of our common stock, impairing the liquidation rights of our common stock, or delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company, which might harm the market price of our common stock.

these securities under the Securities Act. These shares represent approximately 61.0% of our outstanding common stock (assuming full exercise of our existing pre-funded warrants). These shares also may be sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, depending on their holding period and subject to restrictions in the case of shares held by persons deemed to be our affiliates.

Under the Investors’ Rights Agreement, holders of registrable shares can demand that we file a registration statement or request that their shares be included on a registration statement that we are otherwise filing, in either case, registering the resale of their shares of common stock. These registration rights are subject to conditions and limitations, including (i) the right, in certain circumstances, of the underwriter of an offering to limit the number of shares included in such registration and our right, in certain circumstances, not to effect a registration upon demand of the holders of registrable shares within 30 days preceding our good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and (ii) 90 days following the effective date of any registration statement that we file covering a firm commitment underwritten public offering in which the holders of registrable shares were entitled to join and in which we effectively registered all registrable shares that were requested to be registered.

Demand Registration Rights

Following the date that is 180 days after the effective date of the prospectus related to our Initial Public Offering, the holders of a majority of our registrable securities then outstanding under the Investors’ Rights Agreement may require us to file a registration statement under the Securities Act on a Form S-1 at our expense, subject to certain exceptions, with respect to registrable securities then outstanding with an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of the offering expenses, of at least $10.0 million, in which case we will be required to effect the registration as soon as practicable, and in any event within 60 days. Any time after we are eligible to use a registration statement on Form S-3, the holders of our registrable securities then outstanding under the Investors’ Rights Agreement may require us to file a registration statement on Form S-3 at our expense, subject to certain exceptions, with respect to the then outstanding registrable securities of such holders having an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of the offering expenses, of at least $5.0 million, in which case we will be required to effect the registration as soon as practicable, and in any event within 45 days. If we determine that it would be detrimental to us and our stockholders to effect a requested registration, we may postpone each such registration for a period of up to 60 days; provided that we may not invoke this right more than once in any 12-month period.

The foregoing demand registration rights are subject to a number of additional exceptions and limitations.

Piggyback Registration Rights

If we propose to file a registration statement under the Securities Act for the purposes of a public offering of our securities, including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to a secondary offering of our securities but excluding (i) a registration statement relating to the sale or grant of securities to employees pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase, equity incentive or similar plan; (ii) with respect to any transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act; (iii) a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the registrable securities; or (iv) a registration in which the only common stock being registered is common stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered, the holders of registrable securities are entitled to receive notice of such registration and to request that we include their registrable securities for resale in the registration statement. The underwriter of the offering will have the right to limit the number of shares to be included in such registration.

The foregoing piggyback registration rights are subject to a number of additional exceptions and limitations.

Expenses of Registration

In connection with the Investors’ Rights Agreement, we will pay all registration expenses along with reasonable fees and disbursements, not to exceed $100,000 of one counsel for the selling stockholders selected by the holders of a majority of the registrable securities to be registered, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, related to any demand or piggyback registration.

Indemnification

The Investors’ Rights Agreement contains customary cross-indemnification provisions pursuant to which we are obligated to indemnify the selling stockholders, in the event of misstatements or omissions in the registration statement attributable to us, and they are obligated to indemnify us for misstatements or omissions attributable to them.

Expiration of Registration Rights

The registration rights will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the closing of certain liquidation events, (ii) such time after closing of the Initial Public offering as Rule 144 or another similar exemption under the Securities Act is available for the sale of all such holders’ registrable securities without limitation, during a three-month period without registration and (iii) the third anniversary of the Initial Public Offering.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law, Our Charter and Our Bylaws

Some provisions of Delaware law, our Charter and our Bylaws could make the following transactions more difficult: an acquisition of us by means of a tender offer; an acquisition of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or the removal of our incumbent officers and directors. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in our best interests, including transactions which provide for payment of a premium over the market price for our shares.

These provisions, summarized below, are intended to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of the increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Board Composition and Filling Vacancies

In accordance with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our board of directors is divided into three classes serving three-year terms, with one class being elected each year. Our Charter also provides that directors may be removed only for cause and then only by the affirmative vote of the holders of 75% of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. Furthermore, any vacancy on our board of directors, however occurring, including a vacancy resulting from an increase in the size of our board of directors, is only able to be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of our directors then in office, even if less than a quorum.

No Written Consent of Stockholders

Our Charter provides that all stockholder actions are required to be taken by a vote of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting, and that stockholders may not take any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

Meetings of Stockholders

Our Bylaws provide that only a majority of the members of our board of directors then in office may call special meetings of stockholders and only those matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered or acted upon at a special meeting of stockholders. Our Bylaws will limit the business that may be conducted at an annual meeting of stockholders to those matters properly brought before the meeting.

Advance Notice Requirements

Our amended and restated bylaws establish advance notice procedures with regard to stockholder proposals relating to the nomination of candidates for election as directors or new business to be brought before meetings of our stockholders. These procedures provide that notice of stockholder proposals must be timely given in writing to our corporate secretary prior to the meeting at which the action is to be taken.

Generally, to be timely, notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days or more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year. The notice must contain certain information specified in our Bylaws. These provisions may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed. These provisions may also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.

Amendment to Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation

As required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, any amendment of our Charter must first be approved by a majority of our board of directors and, if required by law or our Charter, thereafter be approved by a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment, and a majority of the outstanding shares of each class entitled to vote thereon as a class, except that the amendment of the provisions relating to stockholder action, directors, limitation of liability, exclusive jurisdiction of Delaware Courts and the amendment of our Bylaws and Charter must be approved by not less than 75% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment, and not less than 75% of the outstanding shares of each class entitled to vote thereon as a class. Our Bylaws may be amended by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, subject to any limitations set forth in the Bylaws; and may also be amended by the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment, or, if the board of directors recommends that the stockholders approve the amendment, by the affirmative vote of the majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment.

Blank Check Preferred Stock

Our Charter provides for 10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock may enable our board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. For example, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, our board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal is not in the best interests of us or our stockholders, our board of directors could cause shares of preferred stock to be issued without stockholder approval in one or more private offerings or other transactions that might dilute the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder or stockholder group. In this regard, our Charter grants our board of directors broad power to establish the rights and preferences of authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of shares of common stock. The issuance may also adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of these holders and may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of us.

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a three-year period following the time that this stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A “business combination” includes, among other things, a merger, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or did own within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock.

Under Section 203, a business combination between a corporation and an interested stockholder is prohibited unless it satisfies one of the following conditions:

●

before the stockholder became interested, the board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

●

upon closing of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and employee stock plans, in some instances; or

●

at or after the time the stockholder became interested, the business combination was approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

A Delaware corporation may “opt out of these provisions with an express provision in its original certificate of incorporation or an express provision in its Charter or Bylaws resulting from a stockholders’ amendment approved by at least a majority of the outstanding voting shares. We have not opted out of these provisions. As a result, mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts of us may be discouraged or prevented.

Exclusive Jurisdiction of Certain Actions

Our 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 the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) will be the sole and exclusive forum for any state law claim for: (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (2) any action or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty or other wrongdoing by any of our directors, officers, employees or agents to us or our stockholders; (3) any action or proceeding asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or our certificate of incorporation or bylaws (in each case, as they may be amended from time to time); (4) any action or proceeding to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of our Charter or bylaws; (5) any action or proceeding as to which the Delaware General Corporation Law confers jurisdiction to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; or (6) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors, officers or employees that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The choice of forum provision does not apply to any actions arising under the Exchange Act. Our Charter further provides that, unless we consent in writing to an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the U.S. will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. In addition, our Charter provides that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our common stock is deemed to have notice of and consented to the foregoing provisions.

The choice of forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or any of our current or former director, officer, other employee, agent, or stockholder to the company, which may discourage such claims against us or any of our current or former director, officer, other employee, agent, or stockholder to the company and result in increased costs for investors to bring a claim. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provisions contained in our Charter to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Warrants

Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement for the Series A Preferred Stock Financing, we issued warrants to purchase 2,999,950 shares of the Company’s common stock, of which warrants to purchase 1,199,980 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Theseus Capital Partners LLC. The warrants have an exercise price of $3.3334, were immediately exercisable upon the closing of our Initial Public Offering and will expire at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March 22, 2027. The exercise price and the number of warrant shares purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations and reclassifications of our capital stock. The warrants also contain a “cashless exercise” provision. The warrants do not confer upon the holders thereof any voting, dividend or other rights as stockholders.

Nasdaq Listing

Our common stock is listed on Nasdaq under the trading symbol “SWMR.”

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. The transfer agent and registrar’s address is 1 State Street, 30th Floor, New York, NY 10004.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common stock to Non-U.S. Holders (defined below), but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations relating thereto. This summary is based upon the provisions of the Code, existing and temporary Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and current administrative rulings and judicial decisions, each as in effect as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change or to differing interpretation, possibly with retroactive effect, that may result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those set forth below. We have not sought and will not seek any ruling from the IRS, with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following summary, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will agree with such statements and conclusions.

This summary is limited to Non-U.S. Holders that purchase our common stock pursuant to this offering and that hold our common stock as a “capital asset” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This summary also does not address the tax considerations arising under the laws of any U.S. state or local or any non-U.S. jurisdiction, the 3.8% Medicare tax on net investment income or any minimum tax consequences, or under U.S. federal gift and estate tax laws. In addition, this discussion does not address tax considerations applicable to a Non-U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances or to a Non-U.S. Holder that may be subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation:

●

banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions;

●

tax-exempt organizations, tax-qualified retirement plans, or government organizations;

●

brokers of or dealers in securities or currencies;

●

traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings;

●

persons that own, or are deemed to constructively own, more than 5% (by vote or value) of our capital stock, except to the extent specifically set forth below;

●

certain U.S. expatriates, former citizens, or former long-term residents of the U.S.;

●

persons who hold our common stock as a position in a hedging transaction, “straddle,” “conversion transaction,” synthetic security, other integrated investment, or other risk reduction transaction;

●

persons who do not hold our common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code, generally, for investment purposes;

●

persons deemed to sell our common stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code;

●

persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

●

real estate investment trusts or regulated investment companies;

●

pension plans;

●

pass-through entities such as partnerships, S corporations, disregarded entities for federal income tax purposes and limited liability companies that are treated as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and investors therein;

●

persons for whom our stock constitutes “qualified small business stock” within the meaning of Section 1202 of the Code or as “Section 1244 stock” for purposes of Section 1244 of the Code;

●

persons required for U.S. federal income tax purposes to conform the timing of income accruals to their financial statements under Section 451(b) of the Code;

●

integral parts or controlled entities of foreign sovereigns;

104

Table of Contents

●

“controlled foreign corporations”, including “specified foreign corporations”;

●

“passive foreign investment companies” and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

●

“qualified foreign pension funds” as defined in Section 897(1)(2) of the Code and entities all of the interests of which are held by qualified foreign pension funds; or

●

persons that acquire our common stock through the exercise options or otherwise as compensation for services.

In addition, if a partnership, including any entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend on the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership, and certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, partnerships that hold our common stock, and partners in such partnerships, should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of our common stock.

You are urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock arising under the U.S. federal estate or gift tax rules or under the laws of any U.S. state or local or any non-U.S. or other taxing jurisdiction or under any applicable tax treaty.

Definition of a Non-U.S. Holder

For purposes of this summary, a “Non-U.S. Holder” is any beneficial owner of our common stock that is not a “U.S. person,” and is not a partnership, or an entity disregarded from its owner, each for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A U.S. person is any person that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is or is treated as any of the following: (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S.; (ii) a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof, or the District of Columbia; (iii) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or (iv) a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and the control of one or more U.S. persons, within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, or (2) has a valid election in effect to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Distributions

As discussed under the “Dividend Policy” section of this prospectus, we do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. If we make distributions on our common stock, those payments will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent those distributions exceed both our current and our accumulated earnings and profits, they will constitute a return of capital and will first reduce a Non-U.S. Holder’s basis in our common stock, but not below zero. Any excess will be treated as capital gain and will be treated as described in the “— Gain on Sale or Other Disposition of Common Stock” section of this prospectus. Any such distributions would be subject to the discussions below regarding back-up withholding and the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”).

Subject to the discussion below on effectively connected income, any dividend paid to a Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax either at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividend or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. In order to receive a reduced treaty rate, a Non-U.S. Holder must provide us or our agent with an IRS Form W-8BEN (generally including a U.S. taxpayer identification number, if applicable), IRS Form W-8BEN-E or another appropriate version of IRS Form W-8 (or a successor form), which must be updated periodically, and which, in each case, must certify qualification for the reduced rate.

Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder that are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business within the U.S., and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the U.S., generally are exempt from the withholding tax described above. In order to obtain this exemption, the Non-U.S. Holder must provide the applicable withholding agent with an IRS Form W-8ECI or successor form or other applicable IRS Form W-8 certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the U.S. Such effectively connected dividends, although not subject to withholding tax, are taxed at the same graduated rates applicable to U.S. persons, net of certain deductions and credits, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise. In

105

Table of Contents

addition, if you are Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation, dividends you receive that are effectively connected with your conduct of a U.S. trade or business, and, if an income tax treaty applies, are attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the you in the U.S., may also be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30%, or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty, on such effectively connected dividends, as adjusted for certain items.

If you are eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax pursuant to a tax treaty, you may be able to obtain a refund of any excess amounts currently withheld if you timely file 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 or eligibility for a refund of excess amounts withheld, if any.

Gain on Sale or Other Disposition of Common Stock

Subject to the discussion below regarding backup withholding and FATCA, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be required to pay U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of our common stock unless:

●

the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the U.S., and, if an income tax treaty applies, the gain is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the U.S., in which case the Non-U.S. Holder will be required to pay tax on the net gain derived from the sale under regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates, and for a Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation, such Non-U.S. Holder may be subject to the branch profits tax at a 30% rate, or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty, on its effectively connected earnings and profits, as adjusted for certain items;

●

the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the U.S. for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the calendar year in which the sale or disposition occurs, as calculated pursuant to Section 7701(b) of the Code, and certain other conditions are met, in which case the Non-U.S. Holder will be required to pay a flat 30% tax on the gain derived from the sale, which tax may be offset by U.S. source capital losses (even though the Non-U.S. Holder is not considered a resident of the U.S.) (subject to applicable income tax or other treaties) provided that the Non-U.S. holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses; or

●

our common stock constitutes a U.S. real property interest by reason of our status as a U.S. real property holding corporation (USRPHC) for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for our common stock. Generally, a corporation is a USRPHC only if the fair market value of its U.S. real property interests equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests plus its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business. We believe we are not currently and do not anticipate becoming a USRPHC. However, because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends on the fair market value of our U.S. real property interests relative to the fair market value of our other business assets, there can be no assurance that we will not become a USRPHC in the future. Even if we become a USRPHC, however, gain arising from the sale or other taxable disposition by a Non-U.S. Holder of our common stock will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax as long as our common stock is regularly traded on an established securities market, as defined by applicable Treasury Regulations, and such Non-U.S. Holder does not, actually or constructively, hold more than 5% of our common stock at any time during the applicable period that is specified in the Code. If we are or were to become a USRPHC, such Non-U.S. Holder generally will be taxed on its net gain derived from the disposition at the graduated U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to U.S. persons unless the foregoing exception applies. In addition, if we are or become a USRPHC, a purchaser may be required to withhold 15% of the proceeds payable to a Non-U.S. Holder from a sale of our common stock unless our common stock is regularly traded on an established securities market.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Generally, we must file information returns annually with the IRS in connection with any dividends on our common stock paid to a Non-U.S. Holder, regardless of whether any tax was actually withheld. A similar report will be sent to the Non-U.S. Holder. Pursuant to applicable income tax treaties or other agreements, the IRS may make these reports available to tax authorities in the Non-U.S. Holder’s country of residence.

Payments of distributions or of proceeds on the disposition of stock made to a Non-U.S. Holder may be subject to additional information reporting and backup withholding at a current rate of 24% unless such Non-U.S. Holder establishes an exemption, for

106

Table of Contents

example by properly certifying its non-U.S. status on an IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8ECI, or another appropriate version of IRS Form W-8 (or a successor form). Notwithstanding the foregoing, backup withholding and information reporting may apply if either we or our paying agent has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that a holder is a U.S. person.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax; rather, the U.S. income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund or credit may generally be obtained from the IRS, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

The FATCA imposes withholding tax on certain types of payments made to foreign financial institutions and certain other non-U.S. entities. FATCA imposes a 30% withholding tax on certain payments made to a “foreign financial institution” or to certain “nonfinancial foreign entities”, each as defined in the Code, unless (i) the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations, (ii) the non-financial foreign entity either certifies it does not have any “substantial United States owners”, as defined in the Code or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial U.S. owner, or (iii) the foreign financial institution or nonfinancial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. If the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements in (i) above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by “specified United States persons” or “United States-owned foreign entities” (each as defined in the Code), annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on payments to account holders whose actions prevent it from complying with these reporting and other requirements. If the country in which a payee is resident has entered into an “intergovernmental agreement” with the U.S. regarding FATCA, that agreement may permit the payee to report to that country rather than to the U.S. Department of the Treasury. FATCA currently applies to dividends paid on our common stock. On December 13, 2018, the U.S. Treasury Department released proposed Treasury Regulations under FATCA providing for the elimination of the federal withholding tax of 30% applicable to gross proceeds of a sale or other disposition of our common stock. Under these proposed Treasury Regulations which may be relied upon by taxpayers prior to finalization as stated in the preamble to such proposed Treasury Regulations, FATCA will not apply to gross proceeds from sales or other dispositions of our common stock.

Prospective investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible impact of these rules on their investment in our common stock, and the possible impact of these rules on the entities through which they hold our common stock, including, without limitation, the process and deadlines for meeting the applicable requirements to prevent the imposition of this 30% withholding tax under FATCA.

THE PRECEDING DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. IT IS NOT TAX ADVICE. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE PARTICULAR U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, HOLDING AND DISPOSING OF OUR COMMON STOCK, INCLUDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY PROPOSED CHANGE IN APPLICABLE LAWS.

Lucid informed us that it may engage one or more other registered broker-dealers to effectuate resales, if any, of such common stock that it may acquire from us. Such resales will be made at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price. Each such registered broker-dealer will be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Lucid has informed us that each such broker-dealer it engages to effectuate resales of our common stock on its behalf, may receive commissions from Lucid for executing such resales for Lucid and, if so, such commissions will not exceed customary brokerage commissions.

Lucid is a registered broker-dealer and FINRA member, and will act as an executing broker that will effectuate resales of our common stock that may be acquired by Lucid from us pursuant to the Purchase Agreement to the public in this offering. Because Lucid will receive all the net proceeds from such resales of our common stock made to the public through Lucid, Lucid is deemed to have a “conflict of interest” within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5121. Consequently, this offering will be conducted in compliance with the provisions of FINRA Rule 5121, which requires that a “qualified independent underwriter,” as defined in FINRA Rule 5121, participate in the preparation of the registration statement that includes this prospectus and exercise the usual standards of “due diligence” with respect thereto. Accordingly, we have engaged, a registered broker-dealer and FINRA member, Seaport, to be the qualified independent underwriter in this offering and, in such capacity, participate in the preparation of the registration statement that includes this prospectus and exercise the usual standards of “due diligence” with respect thereto. We have agreed to pay directly to Seaport a cash fee of $50,000 as consideration for its services and to reimburse Seaport up to $5,000 for its expenses incurred in connection with acting as the qualified independent underwriter in this offering on or prior to the Commencement Date. Seaport will receive no other compensation for acting as the qualified independent underwriter in this offering. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110, such cash fee to be paid to Seaport for acting as the qualified independent underwriter in this offering, is deemed to be underwriting compensation in connection with sales of our common stock by Lucid to the public. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5121, Lucid is not permitted to sell shares of our common stock in this offering to an account over which it exercises discretionary authority without the prior specific written approval of the account holder.

Except as set forth above, we know of no existing arrangements between the Selling Stockholder and any other stockholder, broker, dealer, underwriter or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus.

Brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts, or concessions from the purchasers, for whom the broker-dealers may act as agent, of the shares sold by the Selling Stockholder through this prospectus. The compensation paid to any such particular broker-dealer by any such purchasers of shares of our common stock sold by the Selling Stockholder may be less than or in excess of customary commissions. Neither we nor the Selling Stockholder can presently estimate the amount of compensation that any agent will receive from any purchasers of shares of our common stock sold by the Selling Stockholder.

We may from time to time file with the SEC one or more supplements to this prospectus or amendments to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part to amend, supplement or update information contained in this prospectus, including, if and when required under the Securities Act, to disclose certain information relating to a particular sale of shares offered by this prospectus by the Selling Stockholder, including with respect to any compensation paid or payable by the Selling Stockholder to any brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents that participate in the distribution of such shares by the Selling Stockholder, and any other related information required to be disclosed under the Securities Act.

We will pay the expenses incident to the registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus by the Selling Stockholder.

We have agreed to reimburse Lucid for the reasonable legal fees and disbursements of Lucid’s legal counsel in an amount not to exceed (i) $50,000 upon the execution of the Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) $7,500 per fiscal quarter, in each case in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110, these reimbursed fees and expenses are deemed to be underwriting compensation in connection with sales of our common stock by Lucid to the public. Moreover, in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110, the 2.0% fixed discount to current market prices of our common stock reflected in the purchase prices payable by Lucid for our common stock that we may require it to purchase from us from time to time under the Purchase Agreement is deemed to be underwriting compensation in connection with sales of our common stock by Lucid to the public.

We also have agreed to indemnify Lucid and certain other persons against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of shares of our common stock offered hereby, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities. Lucid has agreed to indemnify us against liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from certain written information furnished to us by Lucid specifically for use in this prospectus or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore, unenforceable.

We estimate that the total expenses for the offering will be approximately $150,000.

Lucid has represented to us that at no time prior to the date of the Purchase Agreement has Lucid, its sole member, any of their respective officers, or any entity managed or controlled by Lucid or its sole member, engaged in or effected, in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, for its own account or for the account of any of its affiliates, any short sale (as such term is defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO of the Exchange Act) of our common stock or any hedging transaction, which establishes a net short position with respect to our common stock. Lucid has agreed that during the term of the Purchase Agreement, none of Lucid, its sole member, any of their respective officers, or any entity managed or controlled by Lucid or its sole member, will enter into or effect, directly or indirectly, any of the foregoing transactions for its own account or for the account of any other such person or entity.

We have advised the Selling Stockholder that it is required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes the Selling Stockholder, any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in the distribution from bidding for or purchasing or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the securities offered by this prospectus.

This offering will terminate on the date that all shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus have been sold by the Selling Stockholder.

Our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the symbol “SWMR”.

Lucid and/or one or more of its affiliates has provided, currently provides and/or from time to time in the future may provide various investment banking and other financial services for us and/or one or more of our affiliates that are unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the offering of shares for resale by Lucid to which this prospectus relates, for which investment banking and other financial services they have received and may continue to receive customary fees, commissions and other compensation from us, aside from any discounts, fees and other compensation that Lucid has received and may receive in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement including (i) the 2.0% fixed discount to current market prices of our common stock reflected in the purchase prices payable by Lucid for our common stock that we may require it to purchase from us from time to time under the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) our reimbursement of up to an aggregate of $110,000 of Lucid’s legal fees ($50,000 upon execution of the Purchase Agreement and $7,500 per fiscal quarter for the maximum two year term of the Purchase Agreement) in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Swarmer, Inc

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Swarmer, Inc (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, convertible preferred stock and shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, based on our audits, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Explanatory Paragraph — Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations, and needs to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
