~~Pre-Funded~~We ~~Warrants~~are toregistering ~~Purchase~~the upsecurities for resale pursuant to 23the Selling Securityholder’s registration rights under certain agreements between us and the Selling Securityholder.

The Selling Securityholder may offer and sell the securities covered by this prospectus ~~shares~~in a number of ~~Common~~different ~~Stock~~ways and at varying prices. Please see “Plan of Distribution” for more information. In addition, certain of the securities being registered hereby are subject to vesting and/or transfer restrictions that may prevent the Selling Securityholder from offering or selling such securities upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. See “Description of Securities” for more information.

~~Placement~~You ~~Agent~~should read this prospectus and any prospectus supplement or amendment carefully before you invest in our securities. Our Common Stock and Public Warrants toare ~~Purchase~~traded on upthe toNasdaq 1Stock Market LLC under the symbols “DAIC” and “DAICW”,~~547~~ respectively. On April 22,~~619~~ 2026, the last ~~shares~~reported sale price of our Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC was $0.23 per share, and the closing price of our Public Warrants was $0.02 per Public Warrant.

UpThe toshares ~~72,976,188~~of Common Stock being offered for resale in this prospectus represent approximately 174% of our current total outstanding Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock represent a substantial percentage of our total outstanding Common Stock ~~Underlying~~as of the date of this prospectus. The sale of all securities being offered in this prospectus could result in a significant decline in the ~~Series~~public ~~A-1~~trading ~~Warrants,~~price ~~Series~~of ~~A-2~~our ~~Warrants,~~Common ~~Pre-Funded~~Stock. ~~Warrants~~The public securityholders may not experience a similar rate of return on the securities they purchase due to differences in the purchase prices and ~~Placement~~the ~~Agent~~current ~~Warrants~~trading price.

We are ~~offering~~an ~~up to 23,809,523 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the~~ “~~Common~~emerging ~~Stock”),~~growth ~~together with Series A-1 warrants (the “Series A-1 Warrants~~company”) ~~to purchase up to 23,809,523 shares of Common Stock~~ and ~~Series~~a ~~A-2 warrants (the~~ “~~Series~~smaller ~~A-2 Warrants”~~reporting ~~and collectively with the Series A-1 Warrants~~company, ~~the “Warrants~~”) ~~to purchase up to 23,809,523 shares of Common Stock pursuant to this prospectus. The assumed combined public offering price for~~ each ~~share~~as ofdefined ~~Common~~under ~~Stock,~~federal ~~together~~securities ~~with~~laws ~~one Series A-1 Warrant~~ and ~~one~~are ~~Series~~subject ~~A-2 Warrant, is $0.4200, which is equal~~ to ~~the last~~reduced ~~reported~~public ~~sale~~company ~~price~~reporting ~~of our Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on January 27, 2026~~requirements. ~~The~~ ~~shares~~Investing ofin our Common Stock ~~and Warrants~~involves ~~will~~a behigh ~~separately~~degree ~~issued. Each Warrant will have an exercise price~~ of ~~$ per share, will be~~risk. ~~exercisable~~See ~~beginning on the effective date of stockholder approval of the issuance of the shares upon exercise of the Warrants (~~“~~Warrant~~Risk ~~Stockholder Approval~~Factors”), ~~provided,~~beginning ~~however, if the Pricing Conditions (as defined below) are met, the Warrants will be exercisable upon issuance (the “Initial Exercise Date”). The Series A-1 Warrants will expire~~ on ~~the~~page ~~five-year anniversary~~7 of ~~the~~this ~~date of the Initial Exercise Date and the Series A-2 Warrants will expire on the eighteen-month anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date~~prospectus. As used herein “Pricing Conditions” mean that the combined public offering price per share and accompanying Warrants is such that the Warrant Stockholder Approval is not required under the rules of Nasdaq because either (i) the offering is an at-the-market offering under Nasdaq rules and such price equals or exceeds the sum of (a) the applicable “Minimum Price” per share under Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) plus (b) $0.125 per whole share of Common Stock underlying the Warrants or (ii) the offering is a discounted offering where the pricing and discount (including attributing a value of $0.125 per whole share underlying the Warrants) meet the pricing requirements under Nasdaq’s rules.

We are also offering up to 23,809,523 pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), together with accompanying Warrants to purchase up to 47,619,046 shares of Common Stock to those purchasers whose purchase of shares of Common Stock in this offering would result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding Common Stock following the consummation of this offering or if such purchaser otherwise elects to purchase Pre-Funded Warrants, in lieu of the shares of our Common Stock that would result in ownership in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%). Each Pre-Funded Warrant will be exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. Each Pre-Funded Warrant is being issued together with the same Warrants described above being issued with each share of Common Stock. The assumed combined public offering price for each such Pre-Funded Warrant, together with accompanying Warrants, is $0.4199, which is the combined public offering price per share and Warrants (equal to the last reported sale price of our Common Stock on Nasdaq on January 27, 2026), minus $0.0001. Each Pre-Funded Warrant will be exercisable upon issuance and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. The Pre-Funded Warrants and accompanying Warrants are immediately separable and will be issued separately in this offering. For each Pre-Funded Warrant we sell, the number of shares of common stock we are offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis. This prospectus also relates to the offering of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, Pre-Funded Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants (as defined herein).

There is no established public trading market for the Warrants or the Pre-Funded Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. We do not intend to apply for listing of the Warrants or the Pre-Funded Warrants on any securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants will be limited.

The securities will be offered at a fixed combined public offering price and are expected to be issued in a single closing. We will deliver all securities to be issued in connection with this offering delivery versus payment/receipt versus payment upon receipt by us of investor funds. Accordingly, neither we nor the Placement Agent (as defined herein) have made any arrangements to place investor funds in an escrow account or trust account since the Placement Agent will not receive investor funds in connection with the sale of the securities offered hereunder.

We have engaged (the “Placement Agent”), to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with this offering. The Placement Agent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus. The Placement Agent is not purchasing or selling any of the securities we are offering and the Placement Agent is not required to arrange the purchase or sale of any specific number of securities or dollar amount. We have agreed to pay to the Placement Agent the Placement Agent fees set forth in the table below, which assumes that we sell all of the securities offered by this prospectus. There is no minimum number of securities or amount of proceeds required as a condition to closing in this offering. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing this offering, we may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby, which may significantly reduce the amount of proceeds received by us, and investors in this offering will not receive a refund in the event that we do not sell an amount of securities sufficient to pursue our business goals described in this prospectus. In addition, because there is no escrow trust or similar arrangement and no minimum offering amount, investors could be in a position where they have invested in our company, but we are unable to fulfill all of our contemplated objectives due to a lack of interest in this offering. Further, any proceeds from the sale of securities offered by us will be available for our immediate use, despite uncertainty about whether we would be able to use such funds to effectively implement our business plan. We will bear all costs associated with the offering. See “Plan of Distribution” on page 103 of this prospectus for more information regarding these arrangements.

Our Common Stock and the warrants issued in connection with the closing of our business combination (the “Public Warrants”) are traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the symbol “DAIC” and “DAICW”, respectively. On January 27, 2026, the last reported sale price of our Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC was $0.4200 per share, and the closing price of our Public Warrants was $0.0375 per Public Warrant.

The combined public offering price per share of Common Stock and accompanying Warrants and the combined public offering price per Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Warrants we are offering and the exercise price and other terms of the Warrants were negotiated between us and the purchasers, in consultation with the Placement Agent based on the trading of our Common Stock prior to this offering, among other factors. Other factors considered in determining the public offering price of the securities we are offering and the exercise price and other terms of the Warrants include the history and prospects of our company, the stage of development of our business, our business plans for the future and the extent to which they have been implemented, an assessment of our management, general conditions of the securities markets at the time of the offering and such other factors as were deemed relevant.

We are an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company,” each as defined under federal securities laws and are subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risks. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully the risks that we have described on page 8 of this prospectus under the caption “Risk Factors.”

(1) We have agreed to pay the Placement Agent a total cash fee equal to 6.5% of the gross proceeds raised in this offering. We have also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for its legal fees and expenses and other out-of-pocket expenses in an amount up to $125,000 and to pay closing costs (including the out-of-pocket cost of any clearing agent) in an amount not to exceed $15,950. In addition, we have agreed to issue to the Placement Agent, or its designees, warrants to purchase a number of shares of our Common Stock equal to 6.5% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants being offered at an exercise price equal to 125% of the combined public offering price per share of Common Stock and accompanying Warrants. We refer you to “Plan of Distribution” on page 103 of this prospectus for additional information regarding Placement Agent compensation.

(2) Because there is no minimum number of securities or amount of proceeds required as a condition to closing in this offering, the actual public offering amount, Placement Agent fees, and proceeds to us, if any, are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the total maximum offering amounts set forth above. We refer you to “Plan of Distribution” on page 103 of this prospectus for additional information regarding Placement Agent compensation.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements included in this prospectus contains statements that are forward-looking and as such are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements are based on CID HoldCo, Inc.’s (the “Company”) management’s current expectations, estimates, projections and beliefs, as well as a number of assumptions concerning future events, and are not guarantees of performance. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. When used in this prospectus, words such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words or phrases, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. The following factors among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:

● the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the combined company or others following the consummation of the Business Combination (as defined herein) and any definitive agreements with respect thereto;

● the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards ~~following the consummation of the Business Combination~~;

● the ability of the Company to ~~recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to~~ grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees;

●

cybersecurity incidents, security vulnerabilities, and real or perceived errors, failures, defects, or bugs in the Company’s platforms or products;

●

changes in applicable laws or regulations;

●

the possibility that SEE ID or the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, or competitive factors;

● the Company’s estimates of expenses, ~~profitability~~ and ~~preliminary and unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025~~profitability;

●

ability to raise financing in the future;

●

success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors;

●

the Company’s public securities’ potential liquidity and trading;

● the requirements of being a public company, including compliance with the SEC’s requirements regarding internal controls over financial reporting, may strain the Company’s resources and divert management’s attention, and the increases in legal, accounting and compliance expenses that ~~will result from the Business Combination~~ may be greater than anticipated;

●

litigation and the ability to adequately protect the Company’s intellectual property rights; and

●

other factors relating to the business, operations and financial performance of the Company detailed under the section entitled “Risk Factors” herein

If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. It does not contain all the information that you may consider important in making your investment decision. Therefore, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including, in particular, the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes.

As used in this prospectus, unless the context otherwise requires or indicates, references to “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us,” refer to CID HoldCo, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Our Business

Overview

The Company offers a SAAS platform for customer subscription that provides intelligent, real-time tracking and visibility of high value assets from one convenient application. This unique tracking capability is paired with intelligent software algorithms, including machine learning and AI, to provide enhanced safety, assurance and efficiency for important processes in the enterprise.

Real-time asset tracking services allow customers to improve many workflows. For example, inspecting a vehicle as it is approaching to know when a high value asset is on board before it leaves a secure area. This allows operators to respond, halt the vehicle, and investigate. Customer security will know what is leaving and whether it is scheduled to leave. This capability can also be used at gates, docks or storage locations to automatically grant access and record movements for accountability.

Another common application is tracking inventory. We provide a unique capability to dynamically sweep item inventory with roving, inexpensive readers powered by batteries. Due to their low cost and wireless capability, these inexpensive readers can be deployed on pallets, fork trucks, shelves or even people to provide coverage of the location of interest. As a result of this capability, our technology is disruptive to legacy logistics systems which are either inadequate to gather this level of detail or much more expensive and inflexible to deploy.

Our systems automatically process inbound and outbound personnel or items, using RF tags or access cards, while AI-enabled cameras verify the asset is the one expected. This real-time, two-layer authentication streamlines customers’ access control process, allowing them to track assets in real time and identify anything that is not authorized. This capability can be especially valuable when providing edge intelligence to automation or robotics systems.

Another example application is guided spotting and collision avoidance for vehicles. We not only provide a system that can track autonomous or piloted vehicles generally but if desired can overlay a precise tracking implementation that enables collision detection and avoidance. With attachment to a governor on the vehicle, the system can slow or stop the vehicle to prevent collision with another asset or person in real-time.

Using our rules engine, customers can set conditions for automatic alerts or actions to be taken related to specified parameters set by users in their application. Using the system also allows the organization to begin collecting valuable data, which can be analyzed to glean insights for better decision making across any organization or fed into an advanced AI implementation. To the extent customers are comfortable enabling it, we provide the capability to enable machine learning and AI intervention in complex processes to enhance safety, assurance and efficiency.

As a result of the unique process visibility provided by their innovations, we are often implemented as an edge system producing rich data streams for other supervisory systems of record. Powerful commercial partnerships are intended to be formed with large ERP, MES or WMS system players in the targeted vertical markets. In short, we bring a next generation capability to know when, where and why assets move in the enterprise, providing an opportunity to apply AI to complex edge processes.

In short, we bring a next generation capability to know when, where and why assets move in the enterprise, providing an opportunity to apply AI to complex edge processes.

Business Combination

On the Closing Date, the Company consummated the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the Closing Date, (i) ShoulderUp Merger Sub merged with and into SUAC, with SUAC surviving the ShoulderUp Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and (ii) simultaneously with the ShoulderUp Merger, SEI Merger Sub merged with and into SEE ID, with SEE ID surviving the SEE ID Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Prior to and in connection with the Special Meeting, holders of 2,000 shares of SUAC’s Class A Common Stock sold in its initial public offering exercised their right to redeem those shares for cash at a price of approximately $11.00 per share, for an aggregate of approximately $22,019. The per share redemption price of approximately $11.00 for public shareholders electing redemption was paid out of the Trust Account, which after taking into account the redemptions, had a balance immediately prior to the Closing of approximately $5,577,304.

~~PIPE Financing~~White Lion Transaction

~~On the~~Common ~~Closing~~Stock ~~Date,~~Purchase we consummated the PIPE Financing. Pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreements, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE Investors, and the PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase an aggregate of 3,323,536 PIPE Shares at a purchase price of $4.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $13,294,143, in a private placement. Of the total PIPE Investment, $2,456,500 represents the conversion of bridge loan principal and accrued interest, such that the Company received an additional $10,837,643 from the PIPE Investors at Closing.Agreement

~~Equity~~On April 17, 2026, we entered ~~Line~~into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Common Stock Purchase Agreement” or “ELOC Agreement”) with White Lion Capital, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“White Lion” or the “Investor”), pursuant to which White Lion has committed to purchase, from time to time at our sole discretion, up to $10,000,000 in aggregate gross purchase price of ~~Credit~~newly issued shares of our Common Stock over a commitment period ending December 31, 2028 (the “Commitment Period”).

Commitment Warrant

Note Purchase Agreement and Convertible Notes

Concurrently with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with White Lion, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to White Lion senior secured convertible promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $2,875,000 (the “Convertible Notes” or the “Notes”), structured as up to ten monthly tranches of $287,500 each, at an aggregate purchase price of $2,300,000, reflecting a 20% original issue discount (the “OID”). Each tranche is subject to mutual written authorization, and no tranche may be funded until both the registration statement covering the underlying shares has been declared effective and stockholder approval pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5635 has been obtained (the “Stockholder Approval”).

The Company’s obligations under the Convertible Notes will be secured by (i) a security interest in all of the assets and personal property of the Company pursuant to a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”) and (ii) a security interest in all of the Company’s intellectual property pursuant to an intellectual property security agreement (the “IP Security Agreement”), each by and between the Company and White Lion. The Company has received authorization and consent from J.J. Astor & Co. to grant to White Lion a second priority lien and security interest in all assets of the Company. White Lion has the right to require the Company to apply up to 10% of all proceeds received under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Commitment Warrant, or any other securities of the Company, toward repayment of the Convertible Notes (the “Proceeds Repayment Right”). The Company has agreed to use the proceeds from the sale of the Notes to prepay the outstanding senior secured convertible note issued to J.J. Astor & Co.

The Convertible Notes bear interest at 8% per annum, with interest for the first six months guaranteed and accruing immediately upon issuance. Each Convertible Note matures six months from the date of issuance of each tranche, and is convertible at the option of the holder into shares of our Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) at a variable conversion price equal to 80% of the lowest daily VWAP during the fifteen trading days ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date (the “Variable Conversion Price”). The Notes may not be prepaid without the prior written consent of the holder.

Registration Rights Agreement

Concurrently with the foregoing agreements, we entered into the Registration Rights Agreement with White Lion, pursuant to which we agreed to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) to register the resale of all shares of Common Stock issuable to White Lion under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Commitment Warrant, and the Convertible Notes, including the Purchase Notice Shares, Commitment Shares, Warrant Shares, and Conversion Shares.

For a more detailed description of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Commitment Warrant, the Note Purchase Agreement, the Convertible Notes, the Security Agreement, the IP Security Agreement, and the Registration Rights Agreement, see the section entitled “White Lion Transaction” beginning on page 46 of this prospectus.

Recent Developments

Senior Secured Convertible Loan Agreement

On December 5, 2025, we entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with J.J. Astor & Co., a Utah corporation (including its successors and assigns, the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $5,000,000 in four tranches comprised of an initial $2,000,000 tranche (the “Initial Loan”) borrowed on December 5, 2025 (the “Initial Funding Date”), and up to three additional tranches of $1,000,000 each (the “Additional Loans” and together with the Initial Loan, the “Loans”). The Initial Loan is evidenced by a Senior Secured Convertible Note issued to the Lender for an original principal amount of $2,600,000 (the “Initial Note”), of which $1,840,000 was funded by the Lender at the funding date after deducting the Lender’s origination fees and expenses from the amount of the Initial Loan. The Initial Loan matures on November 30, 2026, and is payable in twelve monthly installments, consisting of an initial installment that was due on December 31, 2025 of $108,334 and the remaining eleven monthly payments of $226,~~615~~515.~~18.~~

Each Additional Loan is subject to the Company’s satisfaction of certain specified conditions, including conditions related to the Company’s ELOC Agreement with New Circle. The Loan Agreement requires the Company to draw on its ELOC Agreement with New Circle to pay monthly installment payments under the Convertible Notes. New Circle has agreed to remit 80% of all ELOC proceeds to the Lender with the remaining 20% to be remitted to the Company within 3 business days following each draw on the ELOC. To the extent that the proceeds of the ELOC remitted to the Lender are not sufficient to cover the then applicable minimum monthly payment due in any month, the Company shall be required to pay the balance of such amount to the Lender on the last business day of such month.

In connection with the Loan Agreement, we issued to the Lender a warrant to purchase up to 230,770 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.69 per share, subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, splits, combinations, reclassifications, and similar events (the “Initial Lender Warrant”). Additional warrants will be issued in connection with any Additional Loans as a condition to funding (the “Additional Lender Warrants” and together with the Initial Lender Warrant, the “Lender Warrants”). The Lender Warrants may not be exercised to the extent the exercise would cause the Lender and its affiliates to beneficially own more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock, subject to the Lender’s written notice and the Company’s agreement to increase such cap up to 9.99%. The conversion of any ~~Convertible~~Lender Notes and the exercise of the Lender Warrants are subject to applicable Nasdaq rules. We also entered into a registration rights agreement requiring us to file a resale shelf registration statement covering up to 100% of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Initial Note and any Additional Notes. Any Convertible Note is convertible, in whole or in part, only after an Event of Default and the effectiveness of such resale registration statement, at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average of the four lowest volume-weighted average prices of our Common Stock on its principal market over the 20 trading days immediately prior to the Lender’s notice of conversion, and any conversion is also subject to the 4.99% beneficial ownership cap.

The Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement are guaranteed and secured on a first-priority basis by substantially all assets of the Company and each applicable subsidiary guarantor, subject to customary exclusions. Under the terms of the pledge and security agreement, the Company granted the Lender a continuing first-priority security interest in 100% of the equity interests of the Company’s subsidiaries to secure the obligations under the Loan Agreement and related loan documents.

Preliminary Financial Results for the Three Months and Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2025

As of the date of this prospectus, the Company expects revenue of approximately $4.3 to $4.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Company expects revenue of approximately $5.6 to $5.9 million. The growth of the Company’s revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 reflects the acquisition of some key customers and the shipment of initial hardware platform orders for their programs.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the “JOBS Act.” As such, we will take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies for as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, including (i) the exemption from the auditor attestation requirements with respect to internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), (ii) the exemptions from say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and say-on-golden parachute voting requirements and (iii) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. As a result, our stockholders may not have access to certain information they deem important. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following November 23, ~~2025~~2026, the fifth anniversary of the closing of SUAC’s IPO, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion or (c) in which the Company is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Common Stock that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our prior second fiscal quarter and we have been subject to the Exchange Act’s reporting requirements for at least 12 months and have filed at least one annual report, and (ii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the exemption from complying with new or revised accounting standards provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act as long as it is an emerging growth company. An emerging growth company can therefore delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Investors should carefully consider the risks described below and all of the other information set forth in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, including our financial statements and related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” before deciding to invest in our Common Stock and Warrants.

~~You~~Because the purchase price per share to be paid by the White Lion for the shares of Common Stock that we may elect to sell to White Lion under the ELOC Agreement will ~~experience~~fluctuate ~~immediate~~based ~~dilution~~on inthe market prices of our Common Stock during the ~~book~~applicable ~~value~~pricing ~~per~~period ~~share~~for each purchase, it is not possible for us to predict, as of the date of this prospectus, the number of Common Stock that we will sell to White Lion under the ELOC Agreement, the purchase price per share that the White Lion will pay for shares purchased infrom us under the ~~offering~~ELOC Agreement, or the aggregate gross proceeds that we will receive from those purchases by the White Lion under the ELOC Agreement.

~~Since~~Although the ~~public~~ELOC ~~offering price of our Common~~Agreement ~~Stock~~provides inthat ~~this~~we ~~offering~~may issell ~~substantially~~up ~~higher~~to ~~than~~an ~~the~~aggregate ~~net~~of ~~tangible~~$10,000,000 ~~book~~of ~~value~~shares ~~per share~~ of ~~our outstanding~~ Common Stock ~~outstanding prior~~ to ~~this~~White ~~offering~~Lion, ~~you~~only ~~will~~15,000,000 ~~suffer dilution in the book value of the Common Stock you purchase in this offering. The~~ shares of Common Stock ~~sold~~that inmay ~~this offering, if any, will~~ be ~~sold~~issued ~~from time~~ to ~~time~~White atLion ~~various~~under ~~prices. After giving effect to~~ the ~~sale~~ELOC ofAgreement ~~our~~are ~~Common~~being ~~Stock in~~registered ~~the~~for ~~aggregate~~resale ~~offering amount of $10.0 million at an assumed public offering price of $0.4200 per share, and after deducting estimated offering commissions and expenses payable~~ by ~~us,~~White ~~you~~Lion ~~would~~under ~~suffer immediate dilution of $0.28 per share in~~ the ~~net~~registration ~~tangible book value~~statement ofthat ~~the~~includes ~~Common Stock. See the section titled “Dilution” for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase shares in~~ this ~~offering~~prospectus.

If we elect to sell to White Lion all of the 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock being registered for resale by White Lion in the registration statement that includes this prospectus, depending on the market prices of our Common Stock during the applicable pricing period for each purchase made pursuant to the ELOC Agreement, the actual gross proceeds from the sale of all such shares may be substantially less than the $10,000,000 total commitment originally available to us under the ELOC Agreement.

In addition, White Lion will not be required to purchase any shares of Common Stock if such sale would result in White Lion’s beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% of the then-outstanding voting power or shares of Common Stock; provided, that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may be increased to 9.99% upon the mutual written agreement of the Company and White Lion, effective not less than sixty-one (61) days after such mutual written agreement. Any issuance and sale by us under the ELOC Agreement of a substantial amount of shares of our Common Stock in addition to the 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock being registered for resale by White Lion under this prospectus could cause additional substantial dilution to our stockholders. The number of shares of Common Stock ultimately offered for resale by White Lion is dependent upon the number of shares of Common Stock we ultimately sell to White Lion under the ELOC Agreement. Our inability to access a portion or the full amount available under the ELOC Agreement, in the absence of any other financing sources, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The issuance of certain securities under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Commitment Warrant, and the Note Purchase Agreement is contingent upon us obtaining Stockholder Approval. If we do not obtain the Stockholder Approval, these securities may never become issuable and/or exercisable.

If it becomes necessary for us to issue and sell to White Lion Common Stock in excess of the Exchange Cap under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to $10,000,000 under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, then for so long as the Exchange Cap continues to apply to issuances and sales of Common Stock under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, we must first obtain Stockholder Approval. In addition, no Tranche of the Convertible Notes may be funded until Stockholder Approval has been obtained. If we are unable to obtain the required Stockholder Approval, these securities will not be issuable and/or exercisable, and will have little to no value.

The Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to duly call, give notice of, convene, and hold a stockholder meeting (the “Stockholder Meeting”) as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than May 15, 2026, for the purposes of obtaining Stockholder Approval. If the Company fails to hold a Stockholder Meeting by May 15, 2026, it shall pay liquidated damages to White Lion, as more fully described in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. In the event Stockholder Approval is not obtained at the first Stockholder Meeting, the Company is obligated to cause an additional Stockholder Meeting to be held every one hundred eighty (180) days during the period beginning on such date and continuing seven hundred twenty (720) days thereafter, until Stockholder Approval is obtained.

Investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.

Pursuant to the ELOC Agreement, we will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold to the White Lion. If and when we do elect to sell shares of Common Stock to the White Lion under the ELOC Agreement, after the White Lion has acquired such shares, the White Lion may resell all or a portion 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 White Lion 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 White Lion as a result of future sales made by us to the White Lion at prices lower than the prices such investors paid for their shares.

The sale and issuance of our Common Stock to the Selling Securityholder will cause dilution to our existing stockholders, and the sale of the shares acquired by the Selling Securityholder, 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 shareholders sell, or the market perceives that our shareholders intend to sell, substantial amounts of shares of our Common Stock in the public market following this offering, the market price of shares of our Common Stock could decline significantly.

The Selling Securityholder can resell, under this prospectus, up to 51,000,000 shares. If all of the 51,000,000 shares offered by the Selling Securityholder under this prospectus were issued and outstanding as of the date hereof, such shares would represent approximately 174% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the date hereof. After the Selling Securityholder has acquired the shares, the Selling Securityholder 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 Securityholder by us could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our Common Stock. Additionally, sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market by the Selling Securityholder and/or by our other existing stockholders, or the perception that those sales might occur, could depress the market price of our Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.

Purchasers who purchase our securities in this offering pursuant to a securities purchase agreement may have rights not available to purchasers that purchase without the benefit of a securities purchase agreement.

In addition to rights and remedies available to all purchasers in this offering under federal securities and state law, the purchasers that enter into a securities purchase agreement will also be able to bring claims of breach of contract against us. The ability to pursue a claim for breach of contract provides those investors with the means to enforce the covenants uniquely available to them under the securities purchase agreement including, but not limited to: (i) timely delivery of shares; (ii) agreement to not enter into variable rate financings for one year from closing, subject to certain exceptions; (iii) agreement to not enter into any financings for 45 days from closing, subject to certain exceptions; and (iv) indemnification for breach of contract.

There is no public market for the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants being offered in this offering.

There is no established public trading market for the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system, including the Nasdaq Capital Market. Without an active market, the liquidity of the Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants will be limited.

The holders of Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants purchased in this offering will have no rights as common stockholders until such holders exercise their Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants and acquire shares of our Common Stock, except as set forth in the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants.

Until a holder of Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants acquires the shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants, as the case may be, such holder will have no rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying such Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants, except as set forth in the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants. Upon exercise of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants, holders will be entitled to exercise the rights of common stockholders only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

The Warrants are speculative in nature.

The Warrants do not confer any rights of Common Stock ownership on their holders, such as voting rights, but rather merely represent the right to acquire shares of Common Stock at a fixed price for a limited period of time. There can be no assurance that the market price of the Common Stock will ever equal or exceed the exercise price of the Warrants, and consequently, it may not ever be profitable for holders of the Warrants to exercise the Warrants.

The Warrants are not exercisable until stockholder approval, provided however, if the Pricing Conditions are met, the Warrants will be exercisable upon issuance.

The Warrants will have an exercise price of $ per share and will be exercisable beginning on the effective date of the Warrant Stockholder Approval, provided, however, if the Pricing Conditions are met, the Warrants will be exercisable on the Initial Exercise Date. While we intend to promptly seek Warrant Stockholder Approval, there is no guarantee that the Warrant Stockholder Approval will ever be obtained. If we are unable to obtain the Warrant Stockholder Approval, the Warrants may have no value.

The market price for our Common Stock has been volatile and may continue to fluctuate or may decline significantly in the future.

An active, liquid and orderly market for our Common Stock may not be sustained, which could depress the trading price of our Common Stock or cause it to continue to be highly volatile or subject to wide fluctuations. Some of the factors that could negatively affect our share price or result in fluctuations in the price or trading volume of our Common Stock include, among other things:

● Our dependence on a limited number of joint design manufacturers and suppliers, component shortages or cost increases, and device quality or recall issues, including firmware update risks, could adversely affect deployments, revenue timing, margins, and investor perceptions.

● Our cloud platform performance, network outages, and cybersecurity or data incidents could harm customer trust and our results, which could impact our stock price.

● Our sales cycles are long and our pipeline is immature; revenue forecasts may be volatile, and results may vary significantly period to period.

● We face complex and evolving regulatory requirements, including privacy and data protection, FCC/telecom rules, export controls and sanctions, environmental requirements (including conflict minerals), and developing AI regulation, any of which could increase costs or constrain our offerings.

● Our international activities and operations in Puerto Rico expose us to additional risks, including disasters, geopolitical events, currency fluctuations, and differing legal regimes.

● We rely on third-party technology and open-source software and face intellectual property risks that could lead to disputes, licensing costs, product changes, or service interruptions.

● The terms of our existing financings and potential future equity or debt issuances, as well as outstanding and potential new warrants, could result in dilution, selling pressure, or perceived overhang, adversely affecting our stock price.

These broad market and industry factors may decrease the market price of our Common Stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. The stock market in general has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and decreases in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these companies. This litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources.

This is a “best efforts” offering, no minimum amount of securities is required to be sold, and we may not raise the amount of capital we believe is required for our business plans, including our near-term business plans.

The Placement Agent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase the securities in this offering. The Placement Agent has no obligation to buy any of the securities from us or to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of the securities. There is no required minimum number of securities that must be sold as a condition to completion of this offering. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to the closing of this offering, the actual offering amount, Placement Agent fees and proceeds to us are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the maximum amounts set forth herein. We may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby, which may significantly reduce the amount of proceeds received by us, and investors in this offering will not receive a refund in the event that we do not sell an amount of securities sufficient to support our continued operations, including our near-term continued operations. Thus, we may not raise the amount of capital we believe is required for our operations in the short-term and may need to raise additional funds to complete such short-term operations. Such additional fundraises may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our management is likewise required, on a quarterly basis, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and to disclose any changes and material weaknesses identified through such evaluation of those internal controls. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal controls over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. For the ~~quarter~~ year ended ~~September 30~~December 31, 2025, we identified the material ~~weakness~~weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to the following asfor ofthe ~~September~~years ended 30December 31, 2025: and 2024.

Costs of Goods Sold. During the preparation of financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, management identified multiple costs that were improperly included in cost of goods sold in the quarter ended March 31, 2025, as well as for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, as disclosed in Note 4 of the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. The root cause of the error was a lack of preventative control designed to ensure proper categorization of expenses on purchase orders generated by our operating departments. In addition, the Company lacked detective controls to ensure finance management reviewed period-over-period changes in cost of goods sold relative to budgeted and actual production levels. As a result of these control deficiencies, cost of goods sold was overstated by $310,160 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, with a corresponding understatement of total operating expenses, and by $137,204 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, also with a corresponding understatement of total operating expenses.

Management ~~also~~determined ~~identified~~ that the Company does not currently ~~have~~maintain ~~adequate~~sufficient ~~staffing in its~~ accounting ~~department~~personnel and has not ~~yet~~fully designed and implemented the ~~appropriate~~ processes and internal controls necessary to support accurate and timely financial reporting,. These ~~which~~deficiencies (i) ~~may~~limit ~~restrict~~ the Company’s ability to effectively review and approve certain material journal entries and properly ~~which~~adopt ~~increases~~new accounting pronouncements, increasing the ~~likelihood~~risk that a material misstatement of interim or annual financial statements ~~might~~may not be prevented; or detected on a timely basis, and (ii) have resulted in ~~the~~an ~~Company’s~~insufficient ~~inability to have proper~~ segregation of duties between the preparation, review , and approval of certain material reconciliations ~~related~~and toother financial reporting ~~in a timely manner~~controls.

In addition, management identified presentation revisions in the statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Certain items were reclassified between operating and financing activities, including amounts related to short-term debt and proceeds from bridge financing arrangements, and certain components associated with the reverse recapitalization transaction were adjusted for proper presentation. These revisions affected the classification of cash flows between operating and financing activities, but had no impact on the total change in cash, net loss, or previously reported balance sheet amounts.

Management evaluated the quantitative and qualitative factors associated with these matters and concluded that the corrections were not material to any previously issued annual or interim financial statements. Accordingly, the Company has reflected these changes in the affected prior-period financial statements in this prospectus to reflect these reclassifications as immaterial reclassifications to previously issued financial statements.

Fair Value Calculation Controls. In addition, management identified a material weakness in the design of internal controls related to the review of the fair value calculation of SAFE notes performed by a third-party valuation specialist for the year ended December 31, 2024. The controls lacked the precision needed to detect inappropriate inputs that could materially impact valuation.

As a result of the identified material weaknesses, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company is actively working to develop and implement remediation plans related to the material weaknesses identified. Remediation efforts include enhancing the design and implementation of controls over the accounting for financial instruments and hiring additional qualified accounting personnel.

To respond to the material weaknesses, we devoted significant effort and resources to the remediation and improvement of our internal controls over financial reporting, including enhancing the design and implementation of controls over the accounting for financial instruments and hiring additional qualified accounting personnel.

Any failure to maintain such internal controls could adversely impact our ability to report our financial position and results from operations on a timely and accurate basis. If our financial statements are not accurate, investors may not have a complete understanding of our operations. Likewise, if our financial statements are not filed on a timely basis, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the stock exchange on which our ordinary shares is listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. In either case, there could result a material adverse effect on our business. Ineffective internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares.

We can give no assurance that the measures we have taken will remediate the material weaknesses identified or that any additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls. In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, in the future those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements.

Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern.”

As of ~~September~~December 3031, 2025, we had cash of $1865,~~418,834~~624 and working capital deficit of $51,~~404~~730,~~007~~095. Further, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our revenue growth but we cannot assure you that our plans will be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—-Liquidity and Capital Resources—-Funding Requirements and Going Concern.” The financial statements contained elsewhere in this prospectus do not include any adjustments that might result from our inability to consummate this offering or our inability to continue as a going concern.

Our rapid growth makes it difficult to evaluate our future financial ~~prospects~~position and increases the risk that we will not continue to grow at or near historical rates.

We are largely a pre-revenue company, with revenue of $~~172~~5,~~661~~804,369 and $~~439~~172,~~640~~661 for the fiscal years ended December 31, ~~2024 and 2023, respectively, and revenue of $1,257,813 and $183,631 for the nine-month periods ended September 30,~~ 2025 and 2024, respectively. As a result, our ability to forecast our future results of operations is subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to effectively plan for and model future growth. Many factors may contribute to declines in our revenue growth rate, including increased competition, slowing demand for our solution from existing and new customers, a failure by us to continue capitalizing on growth opportunities, ~~termination~~ termination of contracts by our existing customers, and the maturation of our business, among others. Our recent and historical growth should not be considered indicative of our future performance. Even if our revenue continues to increase over the long term, we expect that our revenue growth rate will decline in the future as a result of a variety of factors, including the maturation of our business. We have encountered in the past, and will encounter in the future, risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries. If our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties, which we use to plan and operate our business, are incorrect or change, or if we do not address these risks successfully, our operating and financial results could differ materially from our expectations, our growth rates may slow and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be harmed.

We face risks associated with the growth of our business in new use cases.

Historically, most of our revenue has been derived from sales relating to research and development activities, including proof of concept demonstrations. In 2025, we ~~have~~ invested in driving market demand through expansion of sales and marketing activities. We plan to expand the use cases of our solution, including those where we may have limited operating experience, and may be subject to increased business, technology, and economic risks that could affect our financial results. Entering new use cases and expanding in the use cases in which we are already operating will continue to require significant resources, and there is no guarantee that such efforts will be successful or beneficial to us. Historically, sales to a new customer have often led to additional sales to the same customer or similarly situated customers. To the extent we expand into and within new use cases that are regulated, we will likely face additional regulatory scrutiny, risks, and burdens from the governments and agencies which regulate those markets and industries. It is uncertain whether we will be able to achieve penetration and organic growth with respect to any new use cases that we pursue. Any failure to do so may harm our reputation, business, financial condition, and results of operations.

If we fail to effectively manage our growth, our business and results of operations could be harmed.

We have experienced and expect to continue to experience rapid growth, which has placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on our management, operational, and financial resources. For example, our headcount has grown from our 2 founding employees as of the last business day of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 to 68 employees as of the last business day of the fiscal ~~quarter~~ year ended December 31, 2025. In addition, we have begun to cultivate channel partners to expand our operations globally and sell our products to customers in Asia and Europe in the short term, and we plan to continue to expand our operations internationally in the future. We have also experienced significant growth in the number of customers, connected assets, transactions, and data supported by our solution and our associated infrastructure, which has placed additional demands on our resources and operations. Our organizational structure is becoming more complex, and we need to scale and adapt our operational, financial, and management controls, as well as our reporting systems and procedures, to manage this complexity. We will require significant expenditures and the allocation of management resources to grow and change in these areas. If we fail to successfully manage our anticipated growth, the quality of our solutions may suffer, which could negatively affect our brand and reputation, harm our ability to retain and attract customers, and adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

If we are unable to attract new customers, our future revenue and results of operations will be harmed.

Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to attract new customers. Our ability to attract new customers will depend on the perceived benefits and pricing of our solution and the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts. Other factors, many of which are out of our control, may now or in the future impact our ability to attract new customers, including:

●

potential customers’ commitments to or preferences for their existing vendors

●

actual or perceived switching costs

●

potential customers’ inexperience with or reluctance to adopt our solutions in their physical operations;

●

our failure to help potential customers successfully deploy and use our solutions;

●

our failure to develop or expand relationships with existing partners or to attract new partners;

●

our failure to expand into new markets;

●

our failure to expand, retain, and motivate our engineering and research and development, sales and marketing, and other personnel;

●

the adoption of new, or the amendment of existing, laws, rules, or regulations that negatively impact the utility of, or that require difficult-to-implement changes to, our solutions; and

●

general macroeconomic conditions.

If our efforts to attract new customers are not successful, our business, financial condition, and results of operations will suffer.

If we are unable to retain and expand our relationships with existing customers, our financial position and results of operations will be harmed.

In order for us to maintain or improve our results of operations, it is important that our customers renew their subscriptions to access our Dot Cloud SaaS platform when existing contract terms expire and that we expand our commercial relationships with our existing customers. Our contracts are typically for a subscription term of 3 to 5 years. However, our customers have no obligation to renew their subscriptions after the initial terms expire, and our customers might not renew their subscriptions for a similar contract period, with the same or greater economic terms, or at all. In the past, some of our customers have elected not to renew their subscriptions with us and it is difficult to accurately predict long-term customer retention, in part due to our limited experience with renewal cycles to date. Customers may choose not to renew their subscriptions for many reasons, including the belief that our solution is not required for their business needs or is otherwise not cost-effective, a desire to reduce discretionary spending, our discontinuation of a desired application or a belief that our competitors’ offerings provide better value. Additionally, our customers might not renew for reasons entirely out of our control, such as mergers and acquisitions affecting our customer base, the dissolution of their business or ~~business segment~~ utilizing our solution or an economic downturn affecting their industry. A decrease in our renewal rate would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

A part of our growth strategy is to sell subscriptions to our Dot Cloud SaaS platform and expand use cases with our existing customers. Our ability to sell subscriptions to our Dot Cloud SaaS platform will depend in significant part on our ability to anticipate industry evolution, practices and standards. Additionally, we will need to continue to enhance existing solutions and introduce new solutions and features on a timely basis to keep pace with technological developments both within our industry and in related industries, and to remain compliant with any federal, state, local, or foreign regulations that apply to us or our customers. However, we may prove unsuccessful either in developing new solutions or in expanding the set of third-party applications and devices with which our solutions integrate, particularly as we expand our solutions into use cases that have not been our historical focus and as we continue to refine our efforts to hire, develop, and retain engineering talent. In addition, the success of any enhancement or new solution depends on several factors, including the timely completion, introduction and market acceptance of the enhancement or solution. Any new solutions we develop or acquire might not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner and might not achieve the broad market acceptance necessary to generate significant revenue, particularly with respect to use cases that have not been our historical focus. If any of our competitors implements new technologies before we are able to implement them or better anticipates the innovation and integration opportunities in related industries, our business may be adversely affected.

Another part of our growth strategy is to sell additional subscriptions to existing customers as they increase their number of connected assets, such as vehicles, warehouses, and yards. However, our customers may not continue to grow and expand their operations, or may opt not to purchase additional subscriptions from us to cover their expanded operations. A decrease in our ability to sell additional subscriptions to our Dot Cloud SaaS platform to our existing customers could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Certain estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth included in this prospectus may prove to be inaccurate.

Market opportunity estimates and growth forecasts are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate. The estimates and forecasts in this prospectus relating to the size and expected growth of our target markets may prove to be inaccurate. Even if the markets in which we compete meet the size estimates and growth forecasted in this prospectus, we may not successfully penetrate these markets and our business could fail to grow at a similar pace, if at all.

We may not be able to successfully execute our strategic initiatives or meet our long-term financial goals.

A significant part of our business strategy is to focus on long-term growth over short-term financial results. We expect to continue making significant expenditures on engineering talent, sales, hiring and marketing efforts and expenditures to develop new features, integrations, capabilities, and enhancements to our solution and further expand the use cases addressed by our solutions. We have been engaged in strategic initiatives to expand the scope of our core business to improve long-term stockholder value, to improve our cost structure and efficiency, and to increase our selling efforts and develop new business. We may not be able to successfully execute these or other strategic initiatives or execute these initiatives on our expected timetable. If we are not successful in expanding our use cases and obtaining operational efficiencies, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be harmed.

Our dependence on a limited number of joint design manufacturers and suppliers of manufacturing services and critical components within our supply chain for our IoT devices may adversely affect our results of operations.

Our devices are made using an outsourced manufacturing business model that utilizes joint design manufacturers. We depend on a limited number of joint design manufacturers to allocate sufficient manufacturing capacity to meet our needs, to produce devices, or components thereof, of acceptable quality at acceptable yields, and to deliver those devices or components to us on a timely basis. We are subject to the risk of shortages and long lead times in the supply of these devices and components. In addition, the lead times associated with certain components are lengthy and preclude rapid changes in quantities and delivery schedules. We may in the future experience component shortages, and the predictability of the availability of these components may be limited. We cannot assure you that our inventory will be sufficient for our needs or that future disruptions to our supply of devices or materials will not occur. Any delay in the shipment of devices or any other necessary materials delays our ability to recognize revenue for subscriptions purchased by our customers.

In addition, some of our suppliers, joint design manufacturers, and logistics providers may have more established relationships with larger volume device manufacturers, and as a result of such relationships, such suppliers may choose to limit or terminate their relationship with us. Developing suitable alternate sources of supply for these devices and components may be time-consuming, difficult, and costly, and we may not be able to source these devices and components on terms that are favorable to us, or at all, which may adversely affect our ability to meet our requirements or provide our customers with needed devices in a timely or cost-effective manner. Because our customers often must install devices before being able to fully utilize our Dot Cloud SaaS platform, any interruption or delay in the supply of any of these devices or components, or the inability to obtain these devices or components from alternate sources at acceptable prices and within a reasonable amount of time, would harm our ability to onboard new customers. In addition, increased device or component costs would negatively impact our results of operations.

Our dependence on a key supplier in Israel and the possibility of having to switch suppliers may adversely affect our results of operations.

We have a key component for one of our products that is made and supported in Israel. While this supplier has remained stable for us to date, there is a risk that the situation may change. We have developed an alternative path that we can use to obtain similar functionality, but switching costs include delays in delivery and some feature disruption in our operations.

If we are not able to develop and timely introduce new solutions and features for our Dot Cloud SaaS platform that achieve market acceptance, keep pace with technological developments, and meet emerging regulatory requirements, our business, financial condition, and results of operations would be harmed.

Our ability to attract new customers and increase revenue from existing customers depends in large part on our ability to enhance and improve our existing solutions and to introduce compelling new solutions and features that reflect the changing nature of our customers’ needs and the regulations to which they are subject. The success of any enhancement to our Dot Cloud SaaS platform depends on several factors, including timely completion and delivery, competitive pricing, adequate quality testing, integration with existing technologies, and overall market acceptance. Factors outside of our control, such as developing laws and regulations, regulatory orders, competitive product offerings, and changes in demand for our solution may also materially impact the successful implementation of new solutions. Any new solution that we develop may not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner, may contain bugs or other defects, or may not achieve the market acceptance necessary to generate significant revenue.

Further, the development of new solutions can be difficult, time-consuming and costly. There are inherent risks and uncertainties associated with offering new solutions, especially when new markets are not fully developed, related technology standards are not mature, or when the laws and regulations regarding a new solution are evolving. If we are unable to successfully develop and timely introduce new solutions, enhance our existing Dot Cloud SaaS platform to meet customer requirements, or otherwise gain market acceptance, our business, financial condition, and results of operations would be harmed.

Our sales pipeline is immature, and as such, revenue forecasts and projections are likely to be unstable through fiscal year ~~2025 and into fiscal year~~ 2026.

We anticipate typical sales cycles to be nine to twelve months for most of our opportunities and are only six months into an aggressive pivot to active sales and marketing. As such, revenue forecasts and projections are likely to be unstable through fiscal year ~~2025 and into fiscal year~~ 2026, as we mature our best opportunities and add depth to our pipeline. While we will provide our best forecast and communicate changes as they occur, investors should be warned that this instability in revenue is the nature of emerging from a startup mode into a more mature growth organization.

The length of our sales cycle can be unpredictable, particularly with respect to sales to large customers, and our sales efforts may require considerable time and expense.

It is difficult to predict exactly when, or even if, we will make a sale to a potential customer or if we can increase sales to our existing customers. Customers with substantial or complex organizations may choose to deploy our solutions in large increments on a periodic basis. Accordingly, customers may purchase subscriptions for significant dollar amounts on an irregular and unpredictable basis. Because of our limited operating history and the nature of our business, we cannot predict the timing or cost of these sales and deployment cycles. Variations in the sales cycles among our customers based on the size and complexity of their operations, as well as the possibility that customers may purchase new subscriptions sporadically with short lead times, which may adversely impact our ability to anticipate the timing and amount of revenue and contract value from new customers.

In particular, part of our strategy is to target sales to larger customers. Sales to larger customers involve risks that may not be present or that are present to a lesser extent with sales to smaller organizations, such as longer sales cycles (which typically last several months and in some cases have exceeded one year), more complex customer product requirements and expectations related to invoicing and payment terms, substantial upfront sales costs, and less predictability in completing some of our sales. For example, large customers may require considerable time to evaluate and test our solution prior to purchasing a subscription. A number of factors influence the length and variability of our sales cycle, including the need to educate potential customers about the uses and benefits of our solution, the discretionary nature of purchasing and budget cycles, the competitive nature of evaluation and purchasing approval processes, the customer’s contemplated use case, the specific deployment plan of each customer, the complexity of the customer’s organization, and the difficulty of such deployment, as well as whether a sale is made directly by us or through other partners. Moreover, large customers often begin to deploy our solution on a limited basis but nevertheless may require a greater level of support from our customer support personnel and negotiate pricing discounts, which increases our upfront investment in the sales effort with no guarantee that sales to these customers will justify our substantial upfront investment. If we fail to effectively manage these risks associated with sales cycles, sales timing uncertainty, sales to large customers and collection of payment from our customers, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected.

If we fail to adapt and respond effectively to rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, changing regulations, or changing customer needs, requirements or preferences, our Dot Cloud SaaS platform may become less competitive.

The industries in which we participate are subject to rapid technological change. The introduction of new technologies will continue to have a significant effect on competitive conditions to which we are subject. In order to continue to provide value for our customers, we must offer innovative solutions that allow our customers to track and manage their equipment, employees, sites and other connected assets on a timely basis. Certain technologies and industry developments may negatively impact our ability to compete within certain industry segments. If we are unable to develop new solutions that provide utility to our customers and provide enhancements and new features for our existing solutions that keep pace with rapid technological and regulatory change, our revenues and results of operations could be adversely affected.

To keep pace with technological and competitive developments, we have in the past invested, and may continue to invest, in complementary businesses, technologies, products, services, and other assets that expand the solutions that we can offer our customers. We may make these investments without being certain that they will result in products or enhancements that will be accepted by existing or prospective customers or that will achieve market acceptance. If we are unable to successfully enhance our Dot Cloud SaaS platform to meet evolving customer requirements, increase adoption and use cases of our solution, and develop new solutions and features, then our business, financial condition, and results of operations would be adversely affected.

We rely on industry standards and technology developed and maintained outside of our control. For example, many of our solutions depend on cellular, GPS, and Wi-Fi technology and are built upon such technologies. We do not control the development of such technologies, and so it may be possible in the future that the components of the underlying technologies that interface with or are built into our solution develop in ways that are not beneficial to our growth and technological capabilities. If these technologies do not continue to be improved or are replaced with alternative technologies that we do not effectively adapt to, our ability to innovate may be diminished and our market appeal and value to customers may be harmed.

We face intense and increasing competition, and we may not be able to compete effectively, which could reduce demand for our solution and adversely affect our business, revenue growth, and market share.

The markets for the solutions and use cases for which we compete are new and rapidly evolving. Our historical competition has been specific to the individual solution sets that we target, or specific to operational groupings. For example, certain of our solution compete with historical RFID and Barcode companies such as Zebra, Honeywell, Smartrac and HID Global.

Competition in these markets is based on several factors, including the comprehensiveness of a solution; feature set breadth and extensibility; analytical capability; ease of adoption; platform reliability, security and scalability; customer support; ability to realize cost savings; brand awareness and reputation; and the strength of sales, marketing and channel partnerships.

Some of our competitors may have greater financial resources, greater brand recognition, larger sales forces and marketing budgets than us, as well as broader distribution networks. Large corporations, in particular, may be able to utilize their distribution networks and existing relationships to offer new solutions, in addition to solutions in other verticals already being provided to customers. We expect additional competition as our market grows and rapidly changes, and we may choose to enter or expand into new markets as well. We expect competition to increase as other established and emerging companies enter the markets in which we compete, as customer requirements evolve and as new products and services and technologies are introduced. Certain of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution, professional services, or other resources and greater name recognition than we do. In addition, certain of our current and potential competitors have strong relationships with current and potential customers and extensive knowledge of industries with physical operations. As a result, our current and potential competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards, or customer requirements or devote greater resources than we can to the development, promotion, and sale of their products and services. Moreover, certain of these companies are bundling their products and services into larger deals or subscription renewals, often at significant discounts as part of a larger sale. In addition, some current and potential competitors may offer products or services that address one or a limited number of functions at lower prices or with greater depth than our solution. Our current and potential competitors may develop and market new technologies with comparable functionality to our solution. As a result, we may experience reduced gross margins, longer sales cycles, and loss of market share. This could lead us to decrease prices, implement alternative pricing structures, or introduce products and services available for free or a nominal price in order to remain competitive. We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations will be harmed if we fail to meet these competitive pressures.

Moreover, current and future competitors may also make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with others, including our current or future channel partners, OEM partners, and other strategic technology companies. By doing so, these competitors may increase their ability to meet the needs of our existing or potential customers. In addition, our current or prospective indirect sales channel partners may establish cooperative relationships with our current or future competitors. These relationships may limit our ability to sell or certify our solution through specific distributors, technology providers, database companies, and distribution channels and allow our competitors to rapidly gain significant market share. These developments could limit our ability to obtain revenue from existing and new customers. If we are unable to compete successfully against current and future competitors, our business, financial condition, and results of operations would be harmed.

If we do not develop devices that are compatible with third-party hardware, software and infrastructure, including the many evolving wireless industry standards, our ability to introduce and sell new subscriptions to access our Dot Cloud SaaS platform could suffer.

In order to support customers’ adoption of our Dot Cloud SaaS platform, we develop devices that are compatible with a wide variety of hardware, software and infrastructure. Not only must we ensure our devices are compatible with applications and technologies developed by our partners and vendors, but we must also ensure that our devices can interface with third-party hardware, software or infrastructure that our customers may choose to adopt. To the extent that a third party were to develop software applications or devices that compete with ours, that provider may choose not to support our solution. In particular, our ability to accurately anticipate evolving wireless technology standards and ensure that our devices comply with these standards in relevant respects is critical to the functionality of our devices. Any failure of our devices to be compatible or comply with the hardware, software, or infrastructure — including wireless communications standards — utilized by our customers could prevent or delay their implementation of our Dot Cloud SaaS platform and require costly and time-consuming engineering changes. Additionally, if an insufficient number of wireless operators or subscribers adopt the standards to which we design our devices, our ability to introduce and sell subscriptions to our Dot Cloud SaaS platform would be harmed.

The competitive position of our Dot Cloud SaaS platform depends in part on its ability to operate with a wide variety of data sources and infrastructure, and if we are not successful in maintaining and expanding the compatibility of our solutions with such data sources and infrastructure, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely impacted.

The competitive position of our Dot Cloud SaaS platform depends in part on its ability to operate with a wide array of physical sensors and devices — including devices manufactured by us and by third parties, other software and database technologies, and communications, networking, computing and other infrastructure. As such, we must continuously modify and enhance our Dot Cloud SaaS platform to be compatible with evolving hardware, software, and infrastructure that are used by our current and potential partners, vendors and customers. In the future, one or more technology companies may choose not to support the interoperation of their hardware, software, or infrastructure with solutions such as ours, or our solutions may not otherwise support the capabilities needed to operate with such hardware, software, or infrastructure. We intend to facilitate the compatibility of our Dot Cloud SaaS platform with a wide variety of hardware, software, and infrastructure by maintaining and expanding our business and technical relationships. If we are not successful in achieving this goal, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely impacted.

Our ability to grow our business is dependent in part on strategic relationships we develop and maintain with third parties.

We believe that our ability to increase our sales depends in part on maintaining and strengthening relationships with parties such as channel partners, OEM partners, and other strategic technology companies. Once a relationship is established, we likely will dedicate significant time and resources to it in an effort to advance our business interests, and there is no assurance that any strategic relationship will achieve our business purposes or that the resources we use to develop the relationship will be cost-effective. Parties with whom we establish strategic relationships also work with companies that compete with us. We have limited, if any, control as to whether these parties devote adequate resources to our strategic relationships. Further, companies with whom we maintain strategic relationships may de-emphasize their dealings with us or become competitors in the future. We also have limited, if any, control as to other business activities of these parties and we could experience reputational harm because of our association with such parties if they fail to execute on business initiatives, are accused of breaking the law or suffer reputational harm for other reasons. All of these factors could materially and adversely impact our business and results of operations.

Changes in our subscription or pricing models could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The sales price for subscriptions to access our Dot Cloud SaaS platform may decline for a variety of reasons, including competitive pricing pressures, discounts, anticipation of the introduction of new solutions and features, changes in pricing models for existing solutions and access to our solutions (including changes as to the timing of customers’ payments over the course of their subscriptions) or promotional programs. As we expand our offerings, new competitors introduce new solutions or services that compete with ours, or we enter into new international markets, we may be unable to attract new customers using the same pricing models as we have historically used. Larger competitors, including new entrants to our market, may reduce the price of offerings that compete with ours or may bundle them with other offerings and provide them for free. Any decrease in the sales prices for access to our Dot Cloud SaaS platform, without a corresponding decrease in costs or increase in sales volume, would adversely affect our revenue and gross profit.

We may also have difficulty determining the appropriate price structure for new solutions. Regardless of the pricing model used, larger customers may demand higher price discounts than have been given in the past, or are given to other customers. As a result, we may be required to reduce our prices, offer shorter contract durations or offer alternative pricing models. If we do not maintain our prices and gross profits at levels that will allow us to achieve and maintain profitability, our business, financial condition, and results of operations will be harmed.

Our results of operations and our business metrics are likely to fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis in future periods and may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business, which makes our future results difficult to predict and could cause our results of operations to fall below expectations.

Our results of operations and business metrics have fluctuated from quarter-to-quarter in the past and may continue to vary significantly in the future so that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations and business metrics may not be meaningful. Accordingly, our financial results in any one quarter should not be relied upon as indicative of future performance.

Our quarterly results of operations and business metrics may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, may be difficult to predict, and may or may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business. Among the factors that may cause fluctuations in our quarterly financial results and our business metrics are those listed below:

●

Our ability to attract new customers, particularly large customers;

●

Our ability to retain and expand our relationships with existing customers;

●

Our ability to successfully expand our business domestically and internationally;

●

Our ability to gain new channel partners and retain existing channel partners;

●

Our ability to attract and retain key employees and other qualified personnel;

●

Fluctuations in the growth rate of the overall market that our solution addresses;

●

Our ability to effectively manage our growth;

If we are unable to achieve and sustain a level of liquidity sufficient to support our operations and fulfill our obligations, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We actively monitor and manage our cash and cash equivalents so that sufficient liquidity is available to fund our operations and other corporate purposes. In the future, increased levels of liquidity may be required to adequately support our operations and initiatives and to mitigate the effects of business challenges or unforeseen circumstances. If we are unable to achieve and sustain such increased levels of liquidity, we may suffer adverse consequences, including reduced investment in our platform development, difficulties in executing our business plan and fulfilling our obligations, and other operational challenges. Any of these developments could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our business is exposed to risks related to third-party financing of our customers’ subscriptions to our Dot Cloud SaaS platform.

Historically, some of our customers have relied on third parties to finance their purchase of subscriptions to our Dot Cloud SaaS platform. This need to arrange third-party credit may lengthen our sales cycles or otherwise lengthen the amount of time required to negotiate customer agreements. Our channel may provide customers seeking financing with contact information for lenders that are known to them through their financing of other customers’ subscriptions. These arrangements can create challenging dynamics for us when disputes arise between a customer and a lender to whom we have introduced a customer. In the event that financing is not available to those of our customers who require it, on commercially reasonable terms or at all, we could experience reduced sales, extended sales cycles, and increased churn. In the event of a dispute between a customer and a lender, we could suffer reputational harm and damage to our relationships with customers and those that provide financing to our customers. The occurrence of any of these would adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We may not be able to maintain and expand our business if we are not able to hire, retain and manage qualified personnel, and in particular, our key personnel.

Our success in the future depends in part on the continued contribution of our executive, technical, engineering, sales, marketing, operations and administrative personnel. Recruiting and retaining skilled personnel in the industries in which we operate, including engineers and other technical staff and skilled sales and marketing personnel, is highly competitive. In addition, the success of any future acquisitions depends in part on our retention and integration of key personnel from the acquired company or business.

Although we may enter into employment agreements with members of our senior management and other key personnel, these arrangements are at-will and do not prevent any of our management or key personnel from leaving the ~~company~~Company. If we are not able to attract or retain qualified personnel in in the future, or if we experience delays in hiring required personnel, particularly qualified technical and sales personnel, we may ~~not~~ not be able to maintain and expand our business.

Further, we rely in part on direct sales employees to sell our products in the United States and internationally. We are focused on increasing the size and effectiveness of our sales force, marketing activities, sales management team and corporate infrastructure, as well as exploring further relationships with third-party resellers. At present, we intend to significantly increase the size of our current direct sales organization and to more efficiently leverage our expanded sales force to increase sales coverage for our solution and to support significant channel growth. We cannot assure you that we will be able to attract and retain the additional personnel necessary to grow and expand our business and operations. Further, we expect that the onboarding of new sales and marketing personnel will take considerable time to enable new employees to ramp up to full productivity. If we are unable to expand our sales force at sufficiently high levels and onboard new sales personnel successfully, our ability to attract new customers may be harmed, and our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected. In addition, any failure to adequately train our employees on how to communicate the uses and benefits of our solution to potential and existing customers may prevent us from increasing our market share and revenue. If we fail to identify, attract, retain and motivate these highly skilled personnel, we will be unable to achieve our growth expectations, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be harmed.

Our ability to achieve customer renewals and increase sales of our products is dependent on the quality of our customer success and support teams, and our failure to offer high quality support would have an adverse effect on our business, reputation, and results of operations.

Our customers depend on our customer support team to resolve issues and our customer success team to realize the full benefits relating to our Dot Cloud SaaS platform. If we do not succeed in helping our customers quickly resolve post-deployment issues or provide effective ongoing support and education on our Dot Cloud SaaS platform, our ability to sell additional subscriptions to, or renew subscriptions with, existing customers or expand the value of existing customers’ subscriptions would be adversely affected and our reputation with potential customers could be damaged. Many large customers have more complex IT environments and require higher levels of support than smaller customers. If we fail to meet the requirements of these larger customers, it may be more difficult to grow sales with them.

Additionally, it can take several months to recruit, hire, and train qualified engineering-level customer support employees. We may not be able to hire such employees fast enough to keep up with demand, particularly if the sales of our products exceed our internal forecasts. To the extent that we are unsuccessful in hiring, training, and retaining adequate customer support employees, our ability to provide adequate and timely support to our customers, and our customers’ satisfaction with our products, will be adversely affected. Our failure to provide and maintain high-quality support services would have an adverse effect on our business, reputation, and results of operations.

If we are not able to maintain and enhance our brand, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be harmed.

We believe that maintaining and enhancing our reputation as a differentiated and category-defining company is critical to our relationships with our existing customers and to our ability to attract new customers. We also believe that the importance of brand recognition will increase as competition in our market increases, and that brand and reputation are particularly important in the physical operations industry given the potential impact of any failure of our solution on the physical operations of our customers. The successful promotion of our brand attributes will depend on a number of factors, including our and our channel partners’ marketing efforts, our ability to continue to develop high-quality solutions and our ability to successfully differentiate our solutions and devices from those of competitors. In addition, independent industry analysts may provide reviews of our solution and our competitors’ products, which could influence the perception of the relative value of our Dot Cloud SaaS platform in the marketplace. If these reviews are negative, or less positive as compared to those of our competitors’ products, our brand may be harmed.

The promotion of our brand requires us to make substantial expenditures, and we anticipate that the expenditures will increase as our market becomes more competitive, as we expand into new markets, and as more sales are generated through our channel partners. Our brand promotion activities may not generate customer awareness or yield increased revenue, and even if they do, any increased revenue may not offset the expenses we incur in building our brand. If we do not successfully maintain and enhance our brand, our business may not grow, we may have reduced pricing power relative to competitors, and we could lose customers or fail to attract potential customers, any of which would harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

If we cannot maintain our company culture as we grow, our success and our business and competitive position may be harmed.

We believe that our success to date has been driven in part by our company’s cultural principles of focusing on customer success, building for the long term, adopting a growth mindset, being inclusive and winning as a team. As we grow and develop the infrastructure of a public company, we may find it difficult to maintain these important aspects of our culture. Any failure to preserve our culture could negatively affect our ability to retain and recruit personnel, which is critical to our growth, and to effectively focus on and pursue our corporate objectives. As a result, if we fail to maintain our company culture, our business and competitive position may be harmed.

2220

We typically provide service-level commitments under our subscription agreements. If we fail to meet these contractual commitments, we could be obligated to provide credits for future service or face subscription termination with refunds of prepaid amounts, which would lower our revenue and harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our subscription agreements typically contain service-level commitments, and our agreements with larger customers may carry higher service-level commitments than those provided to customers generally. If we are unable to meet the stated service-level commitments, including failure to meet the uptime and response time requirements under our customer subscription agreements, we may be contractually obligated to provide these customers with service credits, which could significantly affect our revenue in the periods in which the failure occurs and the credits are applied. We could also face subscription terminations and a reduction in renewals, which could significantly affect both our current and future revenue. We offer multiple tiers of subscriptions to our products and, as such, our service-level commitments will increase if more customers choose higher tier subscriptions. Any service-level failures could also damage our reputation, which could also adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

A real or perceived defect, security vulnerability, error, or performance failure in our Dot Cloud SaaS platform could cause us to lose revenue, damage our reputation, and expose us to liability, and our product liability insurance may not adequately protect us.

Our Dot Cloud SaaS platform is inherently complex and, despite extensive testing and quality control, has in the past contained and may in the future contain defects or errors, especially when first introduced, or not perform as contemplated. These defects, security vulnerabilities, errors, or performance failures could cause damage to our reputation, loss of customers or revenue, order cancellations, service terminations, or lack of market acceptance of our software. Our customers within the physical operations industry are particularly sensitive to the reliability of our products because a failure of a vehicle or piece of machinery connected to our solution could have a significant impact on their business or employees, including leading to death or serious bodily injury. As the use of our solution, including features and solutions that were recently developed, continues to expand to even more sensitive, secure, or mission-critical uses by our customers, we may be subject to increased scrutiny, potential reputational risk, or potential liability should our solution fail to perform as intended in such deployments. We have in the past needed, and may in the future need, to issue corrective releases to fix these defects, security vulnerabilities, errors or performance failures, which could require us to allocate significant research and development and customer support resources to address these problems. When required to correct device bugs or to implement proactive firmware updates to our devices, we have implemented over-the-air firmware updates to devices that are deployed in the field. If such updates do not perform as anticipated, they may prolong interruptions and performance problems and otherwise impact our reputation and relationship with our customers. Additionally, an improperly configured or deployed update may cause performance issues or disable certain devices in the field, as has occurred in the past. Such an error would require us to fix or replace such devices and may harm our relationship with the impacted customer or customers.

In addition, any data that we license from third parties for potential use in our solution may contain errors or defects, which could negatively impact the analytics that our customers perform on or with such data. This may have a negative impact on how our solution is perceived by our current and potential customers and could materially damage our reputation and brand.

Any limitation of liability provisions that may be contained in our customer, user, third-party vendor, service provider, and partner agreements may not be enforceable or adequate or effective as a result of existing or future applicable laws or unfavorable judicial decisions, and they may not function to limit our liability arising from regulatory enforcement or otherwise. The sale and support of our solution entail the risk of liability claims, which could be substantial in light of the use of our solution in enterprise-wide environments.

In addition, our insurance against this liability may not be adequate to cover a potential claim and may be subject to exclusions, including the possibility that the insurer will deny coverage as to any future claim or exclude from our coverage such claims in policy renewals. The denial of our claims by our insurers or the successful assertion of claims by others against us that exceed available insurance coverage, or the occurrence of changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or coinsurance requirements, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation. Further, there are no assurances that adequate product liability insurance will continue to be available to us in the future on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

2321

Challenges in implementation or incorrect use of, or our customers’ failure to update, our solution could result in customer dissatisfaction and negatively affect our business and growth prospects.

Our solution is often operated in large scale, distributed IT environments, including across a wide array of devices and connected assets. Implementing our solutions in such environments can be a complex and lengthy process, particularly for certain of our customers who are less experienced with respect to the implementation of cloud-based platforms such as ours. Our customers and some partners require training and experience in the proper use of and the benefits that can be derived from our solution to maximize its potential. If users of our Dot Cloud SaaS platform do not implement, use, or update our Dot Cloud SaaS platform correctly or as intended, then inadequate performance and/or security vulnerabilities may result. Because our customers rely on our software and hardware to manage a wide range of operations, the incorrect implementation, use of, or our customers’ failure to update, our software and hardware or our failure to train customers on how to use our solution productively may result in customer dissatisfaction and negative publicity and may adversely affect our reputation and brand. Our failure to effectively provide training and implementation services to our customers could result in lost opportunities for follow-on sales to these customers and decreased subscriptions by new customers, which would adversely affect our business and growth prospects.

Acquisitions, strategic investments, partnerships, or alliances could be difficult to identify, pose integration challenges, divert the attention of management, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value, and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We have in the past and may in the future seek to acquire or invest in businesses, joint ventures, and technologies that we believe could complement or expand our Dot Cloud SaaS platform, enhance our technology, or otherwise offer growth opportunities. Further, our anticipated proceeds from this offering increase the likelihood that we will devote resources to exploring larger and more complex acquisitions and investments than we have previously attempted. Any such acquisitions or investments may divert the attention of management and cause us to incur various expenses in identifying, investigating, and pursuing suitable opportunities, whether or not the transactions are completed, and may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. In particular, we may encounter difficulties assimilating or integrating the businesses, technologies, products, personnel, or operations of any acquired companies, particularly if the key personnel of an acquired company choose not to work for us, their software is not easily adapted to work with our solution, or we have difficulty retaining the customers of any acquired business due to changes in ownership, management, or otherwise. Any such transactions that we are able to complete may not result in the synergies or other benefits we expect to achieve, which could result in substantial impairment charges. These transactions could also result in dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, which could adversely affect our financial position, costs, and financial flexibility.

We may require additional capital to fund our business and support our growth, and any inability to generate or obtain such capital may adversely affect our business and financial condition.

In order to support our growth and respond to business challenges, such as developing new solutions or devices to stay competitive, acquiring new technologies, and improving our infrastructure, we have made significant financial investments in our business and we intend to continue to make such investments. As a result, we may or debt financings to provide the funds required for these investments and other business endeavors. If we raise additional funds through equity or convertible debt issuances, our existing stockholders may suffer significant dilution and these securities could have rights, preferences, and privileges that are superior to that of holders of our ~~common~~Common ~~stock~~Stock. If we obtain additional funds through debt financing, the terms of such indebtedness may involve restrictive covenants making it difficult to engage in capital raising activities and pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly impaired and our business and financial condition may be adversely affected.

We may not generate sufficient cash to service our indebtedness, and the terms of our new senior secured convertible facility could materially and adversely affect us.

Our ability to service, refinance, or otherwise meet our indebtedness depends on our financial condition, operating performance, access to capital markets, and broader economic and market conditions, many of which are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that our cash flows will be sufficient to satisfy scheduled payments as they come due.

On December 5, 2025, we entered into a senior secured convertible facility with upfront fees and immediate monthly amortization. Monthly installments must be funded primarily through draws on our equity line of credit and failure or inability to draw is an event of default. Issuances and sales under the equity line could increase selling pressure on our common stock and reduce our liquidity. Access to additional tranches is at the lender’s election and conditioned on continued exchange listing and specified price and volume thresholds, and therefore may not be available when needed.22

On December 5, 2025, we entered into a senior secured convertible facility with upfront fees and immediate monthly amortization. Monthly installments must be funded primarily through draws on our equity line of credit and failure or inability to draw is an event of default. Issuances and sales under the equity line could increase selling pressure on our Common Stock and reduce our liquidity. Access to additional tranches is at the lender’s election and conditioned on continued exchange listing and specified price and volume thresholds, and therefore may not be available when needed.

Following an event of default and the effectiveness of a resale registration statement, the facility becomes convertible at a discounted, market-price-based formula, and we have issued (and may issue additional) warrants in connection with tranche fundings. Conversions and warrant exercises could be dilutive and push our stock price down. There can be no assurance that the market will absorb any such issuances without adverse price impact or that we will maintain the listing of our Common Stock.

The facility is secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of our assets and a pledge of subsidiary equity and provides accelerated remedies upon default, which could increase our obligations and facilitate enforcement. The facility also contains restrictive covenants that limit additional debt, liens, and securities issuances and require certain extraordinary receipts to prepay the loans, which could constrain our ability to raise capital or execute our strategy. In addition, legal, contractual, tax, or covenant restrictions may limit our subsidiaries’ ability to upstream cash to us.

Any of the foregoing, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, increase our cost of capital, reduce our financial flexibility, and negatively affect the market price and liquidity of our Common Stock.

We may be subject to product liability, warranty and recall claims that may increase the costs of doing business and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We ~~are~~ ~~subject~~face tothe a risk of product liability or warranty claims if our Dot Cloud SaaS platform ~~and~~or our devices ~~actually~~fail, or ~~allegedly~~are alleged to fail , to perform as expected, or if they result, or are alleged to result, in bodily injury ~~and/~~or property damage.

25While we maintain insurance coverage that we believe is appropriate for these risks, significant product liability claims could exceed our coverage limits, and insurance may not remain available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. We may incur substantial costs to defend against product liability or warranty claims, and we cannot assure that we will not experience material losses in the future. In addition, if any of our devices are found, or alleged, to be defective, we may be required to conduct recalls, provide replacements or repairs, issue refunds, or otherwise address customer claims. The costs associated with warranties, repairs, replacements, recalls, or customer reimbursements could exceed our historical experience and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

As we launch our first family of hardware products, there is a heightened risk of product quality issues. As such, we are subject to a risk of product liability or warranty claims if our Dot Cloud Saas platform and our devices actually or allegedly fail to perform as expected or result, or are alleged to result, in bodily injury and/or property damage. Certain technologies incorporated in our devices may increase the risk profile of such devices. Our experienced team is working to mitigate any product quality issues but despite best efforts, it is historically most likely that issues will arise during this initial launch and stabilization period which extends through fiscal year 2025. While we maintain what we believe to be reasonable insurance coverage to appropriately respond to such liability exposures, large product liability claims, if made, could exceed our insurance coverage limits and insurance may not continue to be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There can be no assurance that we will not incur significant costs to defend these claims or that we will not experience any product liability losses in the future. In addition, if any of our devices are, or are alleged to be, defective, we may be required to participate in recalls and exchanges of such devices or customer claims against us. The future cost associated with providing product warranties and/or bearing the cost of repair or replacement of our products, or a refund of customer expenses, could exceed our historical experience and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

If currency exchange rates fluctuate substantially in the future, the results of our operations, which are reported in U.S. dollars, could be adversely affected.

As we continue to expand our international operations, we become more exposed to the effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Our international customer contracts are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Changes in currency exchange rates over the course of customers’ contract terms may impact the amount of revenue we recognize from a customer from period to period, even in the absence of changes to that customer’s subscriptions. Additionally, currency fluctuations in certain countries and regions may negatively impact actual prices that customers and partners are willing to pay in those countries and regions. Further, we incur expenses for employee compensation and other operating expenses at our non-U.S. locations in the local currency. Fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies could result in the dollar equivalent of such expenses being higher, which could have a negative impact on our results of operations. Although we may in the future decide to undertake foreign exchange hedging transactions to cover a portion of our foreign currency exchange exposure, we currently do not hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange risks.

Managing the supply of our devices is complex. Insufficient supply and inventory may result in lost sales opportunities or delayed revenue, while excess inventory may harm our gross margins.

Our third-party manufacturers and suppliers procure components for our devices based on our forecasts, and we generally do not hold significant inventory for extended periods of time. These forecasts are based on estimates of future demand for our products, which can be adjusted based on historical trends and analysis and for overall market conditions, and we cannot guarantee the accuracy of our forecasts. In order to reduce manufacturing lead times and plan for adequate component supply, from time to time we may issue forecasts for components and products that are non cancelable and nonreturnable.

Our inventory management systems and related supply chain visibility tools may be inadequate to enable us to forecast accurately and effectively manage supply of our devices. Supply management remains an increased area of focus as we balance the need to maintain supply levels that are sufficient to ensure competitive lead times against the risk of obsolescence because of rapidly changing technology and end-customer requirements. If we ultimately determine that we have excess supply, we may have to record a reserve for excess manufacturing costs or reduce our prices and write-down inventory, either of which in turn could result in lower gross margins. Alternatively, insufficient supply levels may lead to shortages that result in delayed revenue or loss of sales opportunities altogether as potential end customers are unable to access our Dot Cloud SaaS platform and, as a result, turn to competitors’ products that are readily available. Additionally, any increases in the time required to manufacture our devices or ship these devices could result in supply shortfalls. If we are unable to effectively manage our supply and inventory, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our business may be materially and adversely impacted by U.S. and global market and economic conditions adverse to industries that depend on physical operations.

We generate our revenue from selling subscriptions to our solutions to industries that depend on physical operations. These industries include transportation, wholesale and retail trade, healthcare, transportation, aviation, construction, field services, logistics, utilities and energy, government, manufacturing, and others. Given the concentration of our business activities in these industries, we will be particularly exposed to certain economic downturns affecting these industries, in particular with respect to our fleet-focused solutions. U.S. and global market and economic conditions have been, and continue to be, disrupted and volatile. General business and economic conditions that could affect us and our customers include fluctuations in economic growth, debt and equity capital markets, liquidity of the global financial markets, the availability and cost of credit, investor and consumer confidence, and the strength of the economies in which we and our customers operate. A poor economic environment could result in significant decreases in demand for our Dot Cloud SaaS platform, including the delay or cancellation of current or anticipated customer engagements.

Operational challenges and volatile economic conditions have presented and may in the future present difficulties in our ability to timely collect accounts receivables from our customers due to their deteriorating financial condition. In addition, our existing customers may be acquired by or merged into other entities that use our competitors’ products, they may decide to terminate their relationships with us for other reasons, or they may go out of business, each of which would have an adverse effect on our future revenue.

Business disruptions could have serious adverse consequences on our future revenue and financial condition and result in losses that may not be covered by insurance.

Our operations, particularly our operations in Puerto Rico, could be subject to the impact of natural or man-made disasters or other business disruptions, which include, but are not limited to, earthquakes, hurricanes, typhoons, floods, water shortages, wildfires and fires, blizzards and other extreme weather conditions as well as power outages, telecommunications, transportation or infrastructure failure, cybersecurity incidents or physical security breaches related to such catastrophes, public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics, and geopolitical conflicts, including acts of terrorism, war and civil disorder. We carry insurance against certain risks and in such amounts as we believe are customary for businesses of our kind. However, as the costs and availability of insurance change, we may decide not to be covered against certain losses, including losses resulting from such natural and man-made disasters or environmental liabilities where, in the judgment of management, the insurance is not warranted due to cost or availability of coverage or the remoteness of perceived risk. Furthermore, there are certain types of losses that are generally not insured because they are either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Moreover, the cost of insurance has increased significantly, including as a result of the impact of climate change and inflation, and we may not be able to obtain sufficient coverage at a reasonable cost to protect us against losses.

Our current operations are international in scope, and we plan further geographic expansion, creating a variety of operational challenges.

A component of our growth strategy involves the further expansion of our operations and customer base internationally. We are continuing to adapt to and develop strategies to address international markets, but there is no guarantee that such efforts will have the desired effect. For example, we anticipate that we will need to establish relationships with new partners in order to expand into certain countries, and if we fail to identify, establish, and maintain such relationships, we may be unable to execute on our expansion plans. We intend to increase the scope of our international activities as we continue to pursue opportunities in existing and new international markets, which will require significant dedication of management attention and financial resources.

Our current and future international business and operations involve a variety of risks, including:

●

slower than anticipated availability and adoption of cloud and hybrid infrastructures by international businesses;

●

changes in a specific country’s or region’s political, economic, or legal and regulatory environment, including Brexit, pandemics, tariffs, export quotas, custom duties, trade disputes, tax laws and treaties, particularly due to economic tensions and trade negotiations or other trade restrictions, trade wars, or long-term environmental risks;

●

the need to adapt and localize our solution for specific countries;

●

greater difficulty collecting accounts receivable, longer sales and payment cycles, and different pricing environments;

●

new, evolving, potentially inconsistent and often more stringent regulations relating to privacy, data protection and data security and the unauthorized use of, or access to, commercial, biometric, and/or personal information, particularly in Europe;

●

differing labor regulations, including with respect to wage and hour laws, that make it harder to do business in certain regions such as Europe;

●

challenges inherent in efficiently managing, and the increased costs associated with, an increased number of employees over large geographic distances, including the need to implement appropriate systems, policies, benefits, and compliance programs that are specific to each jurisdiction;

●

difficulties in managing a business in new markets with diverse cultures, languages, customs, legal systems, alternative dispute systems, and regulatory systems;

●

increased travel, real estate, infrastructure, legal and compliance costs associated with international operations;

●

increased financial accounting and reporting burdens and complexities;

●

currency exchange rate fluctuations and the resulting effect on our revenue and expenses, and the cost and risk of entering into hedging transactions if we chose to do so in the future;

●

limitations on our ability to reinvest earnings from operations in one country to fund the capital needs of our operations in other countries;

●

new and different sources of competition;

●

laws and business practices favoring local competitors or general market preferences for local vendors;

●

limited or insufficient intellectual property protection or difficulties obtaining, maintaining, protecting, or enforcing our intellectual property rights, including our trademarks and patents, or obtaining necessary intellectual property licenses from third parties;

●

political instability or terrorist activities;

●

pandemics or epidemics that could result in decreased economic activity in certain markets, decreased use of our products and services, or in our decreased ability to import, export, or sell our products and services to existing or new customers in international markets;

●

exposure to liabilities under anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), U.S. domestic bribery laws, the UK Bribery Act, and similar laws and regulations in other jurisdictions;

●

burdens of complying with U.S. and non-U.S. export control laws and regulations, including Export Administration Regulations (EAR); or

●

burdens of complying with laws and regulations related to taxation; and regulations, adverse tax burdens, and foreign exchange controls that could make it difficult to repatriate earnings and cash.

If we invest substantial time and resources to further expand our international operations and are unable to do so successfully and in a timely manner, our business and results of operations will suffer.

Our wholly-owned subsidiary in Puerto Rico has been granted certain incentives under Act 60 (described below), and the validity of these incentives are conditioned on our continuous compliance with the terms and conditions of the grant.

Our Puerto Rican subsidiary has been granted various incentives under Act 60, including a reduced 1% income tax rate on its industrial development income and a 15 year exemption term from (i) December 23, 2024 for income tax purposes, (ii) January 1, 2024 for real and personal property tax purposes, and (iii) January 1, 2025 for municipal license tax purposes. The validity of these tax incentives is conditioned on our Puerto Rican subsidiary’s continuous compliance with the terms and conditions of the grant.

We have entered into, or expect to enter into, various arrangements with our subsidiary in Puerto Rico regarding the intercompany provision of services. Applicable taxing authorities could challenge the prices for these services.

We have entered into, or intend to enter into, several contractual arrangements with our Puerto Rican subsidiary. We have made, or intend to make, loans to our Puerto Rican subsidiary and charge market-rate interest on those loans. Our Puerto Rican subsidiary is expected to pay us for corporate services and to pay us royalties in exchange for the use of certain intellectual property. We intend to use valid pricing methodologies to establish arm’s length prices for these arrangements. However, a taxing authority could challenge whether the terms of these arrangements are arm’s length and could require us to make a “transfer pricing” adjustment and assess us for additional taxes. Additionally, under applicable United States tax laws, income of the Puerto Rican subsidiary may be taxable to us on a current basis, even if cash is not distributed from the subsidiary. If our “transfer pricing” is challenged, it could increase the amount of such taxable income. Similar concerns should be expected to apply to our planned subsidiaries in Europe and India, if and when established.

Legal, Regulatory or Compliance Risks

Changes in applicable tax laws, regulations or administrative interpretations thereof may materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We could be adversely affected by changes in applicable tax laws, regulations, or administrative interpretations thereof. ~~For~~Changes ~~example,~~could ~~the U.S. federal~~be ~~tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”),~~ enacted in ~~December 2017,~~ ~~resulted in fundamental changes to~~ the ~~Code,~~future ~~including, among many other things, a reduction~~ to increase the ~~federal~~ corporate ~~income~~ tax rate, alimit ~~limitation~~further on the deductibility of ~~business~~ interest ~~expense,~~or aeffect ~~limitation~~other onchanges ~~the~~that ~~deductibility~~could ofhave ~~certain~~a ~~director and~~material ~~officer~~adverse ~~compensation expense, limitations~~ effect on the ~~use~~Company’s ofbusiness, ~~net~~results ~~operating loss carrybacks and carryovers and changes relating to the scope and timing~~ of ~~U.S. taxation on earnings from international business~~ operations. ~~Subsequent legislation, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief,~~ and ~~Economic~~financial ~~Security~~condition. ~~Act~~In ~~(the “CARES Act”)~~addition, ~~enacted~~our oneffective ~~March 27,~~tax ~~2020,~~rate ~~relaxed~~and ~~certain~~tax ~~of the~~liability ~~limitations~~are ~~imposed~~based ~~by the TCJA for certain taxable years, including the limitation~~ on the ~~use~~application ~~and carryback~~ of ~~net~~current ~~operating~~income ~~losses and~~tax ~~the~~laws, ~~limitation~~regulations, onand ~~the deductibility of business interest expense~~treaties. ~~The~~These ~~exact~~laws, ~~impact~~regulations ofand ~~the~~treaties ~~TCJA~~are complex, and the ~~CARES~~manner ~~Act~~in ~~for~~which ~~future years is~~they ~~difficult~~apply to ~~quantify,~~us ~~but~~and ~~these~~our ~~changes~~diverse ~~could~~set ~~materially adversely affect holders~~ of ~~our~~business ~~Common~~arrangements ~~Stock~~is oroften ~~the~~open ~~Company~~to interpretation.

In addition, our effective tax rate and tax liability are based on the application of current income tax laws, regulations, and treaties. These laws, regulations and treaties are complex, and the manner in which they apply to us and our diverse set of business arrangements is often open to interpretation. Significant management judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, its deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against its net deferred tax assets. The tax authorities could challenge our interpretation of laws, regulations, and treaties, resulting in additional tax liability or adjustment to its income tax provision that could increase its effective tax rate. Changes to tax laws may also adversely affect our ability to attract and retain key personnel.26

Failure to comply with anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws, including the FCPA and similar laws associated with our activities outside of the United States, could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.

We operate a global business and may have direct or indirect interactions with officials and employees of government agencies or state-owned or affiliated entities. We are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the FCPA, the U.S. domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. § 201, the U.S. Travel Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, the U.K. Bribery Act, and possibly other anti-bribery and anti-money laundering laws in countries in which we conduct activities. These laws that prohibit companies and their employees and third-party intermediaries from corruptly promising, authorizing, offering, or providing, directly or indirectly, improper payments or anything of value to foreign government officials, political parties, and private-sector recipients for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business, directing business to any person, or securing any advantage. In addition, U.S. public companies are required to maintain records that accurately and fairly represent their transactions and have an adequate system of internal accounting controls. In many foreign countries, including countries in which we may conduct business, it may be a local custom that businesses engage in practices that are prohibited by the FCPA or other applicable laws and regulations. We face significant risks if we or any of our directors, officers, employees, agents or other parties or representatives fail to comply with these laws and governmental authorities in the United States and elsewhere could seek to impose substantial civil and/or criminal fines and penalties which could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition.

We have begun to implement an anti-corruption compliance program and policies, procedures and training designed to foster compliance with these laws; however, our employees, contractors, and agents, and companies to which we outsource some of our business operations, may take actions in violation of our policies or applicable law. Any such violation could have an adverse effect on our reputation, business, operating results and prospects.

Any violation of the FCPA, other applicable anti-corruption laws, or anti-money laundering laws could result in whistleblower complaints, adverse media coverage, investigations, loss of export privileges, severe criminal, or civil sanctions and, in the case of the FCPA, suspension or debarment from U.S. government contracts, any of which could have a materially adverse effect on our reputation, business, operating results, and prospects. In addition, responding to any enforcement action may result in a significant diversion of management’s attention and resources and significant defense costs and other professional fees.

The federal government or independent standards organizations may implement significant regulations or standards that could adversely affect our ability to produce or market our products.

Our products transmit radio frequency waves, the transmission of which is governed by the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), as well as other federal and state agencies. Our ability to design, develop and sell our products will continue to be subject to these rules and regulations, as well as many other federal, state, local and foreign rules and regulations, for the foreseeable future.

In addition, our Dot Cloud SaaS platform may become subject to independent industry standards. The implementation of unfavorable regulations or industry standards, or unfavorable interpretations of existing regulations by courts or regulatory bodies, could require us to incur significant compliance costs, cause the development of the affected products to become impractical, or otherwise adversely affect our ability to produce or market our solution. The adoption of new industry standards applicable to our products may require us to engage in rapid product development efforts that would cause us to incur higher expenses than we anticipated. In some circumstances, we may not be able to comply with such standards, which could materially and adversely affect our ability to generate revenues through the sale of our products.

Failure to comply with laws and regulations applicable to our business could subject us to fines and penalties and could also cause us to lose customers or otherwise harm our business.

Our business is subject to regulation by various federal, state, local, and foreign governmental agencies, including agencies responsible for monitoring and enforcing compliance with various legal obligations, covering topics including privacy and data protection, telecommunications, intellectual property, employment and labor, workplace safety, the environment, consumer protection, governmental trade sanctions, import and export controls, anti-corruption and anti-bribery, securities, and tax. In certain jurisdictions, these regulatory requirements may be more stringent than in the United States. These laws and regulations impose added costs on our business. Noncompliance with applicable regulations or requirements could subject us to:

●

investigations, enforcement actions, and sanctions;

●

mandatory changes to our solutions and services;

●

disgorgement of profits, fines, and damages;

●

civil and criminal penalties or injunctions;

●

claims for damages by our customers or channel partners;

●

termination of contracts;

●

loss of intellectual property rights; and

●

temporary or permanent debarment from sales to government organizations.

If any governmental sanctions are imposed, or if we do not prevail in any possible civil or criminal litigation, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, responding to any action will likely result in a significant diversion of our management’s attention and resources and an increase in professional fees. Enforcement actions and sanctions could materially harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Additionally, companies in the technology industry have recently experienced increased regulatory scrutiny. Any reviews by regulatory agencies or legislatures may result in substantial regulatory fines, changes to our business practices, and other penalties, which could negatively affect our business and results of operations. Changes in social, political, and regulatory conditions or in laws and policies governing a wide range of topics may cause us to change our business practices. Further, our expansion into a variety of new use cases for our solutions could also raise a number of new regulatory issues. These factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our failure to comply with the requirements of applicable environmental legislation and regulation could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and profitability.

Production and marketing of products in certain states and countries may subject us to environmental and other regulations. In addition, certain states and countries may pass new regulations requiring our products to meet certain requirements to use environmentally friendly components. For example, the European Union has issued two directives relating to chemical substances in electronic products. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) makes producers of certain electrical and electronic equipment financially responsible for the collection, reuse, recycling, treatment and disposal of equipment placed in the European Union market. The Restrictions of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) bans the use of certain hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment which are put on the market in the European Union. In the future, various countries, including the United States or other state or local governments, may adopt further environmental compliance programs and requirements. If we fail to comply with these regulations in connection with the manufacture of our devices, we may face regulatory fines, changes to our business practices, and other penalties, and may not be able to sell our devices in jurisdictions where these regulations apply, which could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and profitability.

We are subject to stringent and changing laws, regulations, standards, and contractual obligations related to privacy, data protection, and data security. Any actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could harm our business. We receive, collect, store, process, transfer, and use personal information and other data relating to users of our solutions, our employees and contractors, and other persons. For example, certain of our solutions collect and store facial recognition data, which is subject to heightened sensitivity and regulation. We have legal and contractual obligations regarding the protection of confidentiality and appropriate use of certain data, including facial recognition data and other personal information. We are subject to numerous federal, state, local, and international laws, directives, and regulations regarding privacy, data protection, and data security and the collection, storing, sharing, use, processing, transfer, disclosure, and protection of personal information and other data, the scope of which are changing, subject to differing interpretations, and may be inconsistent across jurisdictions or conflict with other legal and regulatory requirements. We are also subject to certain contractual obligations to third parties related to privacy, data protection and data security. We strive to comply with our applicable policies and applicable laws, regulations, contractual obligations, and other legal obligations relating to privacy, data protection, and data security to the extent possible. However, the regulatory framework for privacy, data protection and data security worldwide is, and is likely to remain for the foreseeable future, uncertain and complex, and it is possible that these or other actual or alleged obligations may be interpreted and applied in a manner that we do not anticipate or that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other legal obligations or our practices. Further, any significant change to applicable laws, regulations or industry practices regarding the collection, use, retention, security or disclosure of data, or their interpretation, or any changes regarding the manner in which the consent of users or other data subjects for the collection, use, retention or disclosure of such data must be obtained, could increase our costs and require us to modify our solutions, possibly in a material manner, which we may be unable to complete, and may limit our ability to store and process user data or develop new solutions and features.

We also expect that there will continue to be new laws, regulations, and industry standards concerning privacy, data protection, and information security proposed and enacted in various jurisdictions. For example, the data protection landscape in Europe is currently evolving, resulting in possible significant operational costs for internal compliance and risks to our business. The European Union adopted the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which became effective in May 2018, and contains numerous requirements and changes from previously existing European Union laws, including more robust obligations on data processors and heavier documentation requirements for data protection compliance programs by companies. Among other requirements, the GDPR regulates the transfer of personal data subject to the GDPR to third countries that have not been found to provide adequate protection to such personal data, including the United States. Failure to comply with the GDPR could result in penalties for noncompliance. The United Kingdom enacted legislation that substantially implements the GDPR and provides for substantial penalties in a manner similar to the GDPR. It is unclear how United Kingdom data protection laws or regulations will develop in the medium to longer term and how data transfers to and from the United Kingdom will be regulated. Further, some countries also are considering or have enacted legislation requiring local storage and processing of data that could increase the cost and complexity of delivering our services.

Various United States privacy laws are potentially relevant to our business, including the Federal Trade Commission Act, Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act (CAN-SPAM Act), and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. Any actual or perceived failure to comply with these laws could result in a costly investigation or litigation resulting in potentially significant liability, loss of trust by our users, and a material and adverse impact on our reputation and business.

Additionally, in June 2018, California passed the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which provides new data privacy rights for California consumers and new operational requirements for covered companies. Specifically, the CCPA provides that covered companies must provide new disclosures to California consumers and afford such consumers new data privacy rights that include the right to request a copy from a covered company of the personal information collected about them, the right to request deletion of such personal information, and the right to request to opt-out of certain sales of such personal information. The CCPA became operative on January 1, 2020. The California Attorney General can enforce the CCPA, including seeking an injunction and civil penalties for violations. The CCPA also provides a private right of action for certain data breaches that is expected to increase data breach litigation. The CCPA may require us to modify our data practices and policies and to incur substantial costs and expenses in an effort to comply. A new privacy law, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), was approved by California voters in the November 3, 2020 election and went into effect on January 1, 2023. The CPRA significantly modified the CCPA, resulting in further uncertainty and requiring us to incur additional costs and expenses in an effort to comply. A number of other states, such as Illinois, Texas, Washington, Virginia and Colorado, have implemented, or are considering implementing, their own versions of privacy legislation, which could increase our potential liability and cause us to incur substantial costs and expenses in an effort to comply and otherwise adversely affect our business. Some of those laws, including Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act, also provide consumers with a private right of action for certain violations and large potential statutory damages awards.

Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with our posted privacy policies, our privacy-related obligations to users or other third parties, or any other legal obligations or regulatory requirements relating to privacy, data protection, or data security, may result in governmental investigations or enforcement actions, litigation, claims, or public statements against us by consumer advocacy groups or others and could result in significant liability, cause our users to lose trust in us, and otherwise materially and adversely affect our reputation and business. Furthermore, the costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, the laws, regulations, other obligations, and policies that are applicable to the businesses of our users may limit the adoption and use of, and reduce the overall demand for, our solution. Additionally, if third parties we work with violate applicable laws, regulations or contractual obligations, such violations may put our users’ data at risk, could result in governmental investigations or enforcement actions, fines, litigation, claims, or public statements against us by consumer advocacy groups or others and could result in significant liability, cause our users to lose trust in us, and otherwise materially and adversely affect our reputation and business. Further, public scrutiny of, or complaints about, technology companies or their data handling or data protection practices, even if unrelated to our business, industry or operations, may lead to increased scrutiny of technology companies, including us, and may cause government agencies to enact additional regulatory requirements, or to modify their enforcement or investigation activities, which may increase our costs and risks.

Failure to comply with laws, regulations, or contractual provisions applicable to our business could cause us to lose government customers or our ability to contract with the U.S. and other governments.

As a government contractor, we must comply with laws, regulations, and contractual provisions relating to the formation, administration, and performance of government contracts and inclusion on government contract vehicles, which affect how we and our partners do business with government agencies. As a result of actual or perceived noncompliance with government contracting laws, regulations, or contractual provisions, we may be subject to audits and internal investigations which may prove costly to our business financially, divert management time, or limit our ability to continue selling subscriptions to our solution to our government customers. These laws and regulations may impose other added costs on our business, and failure to comply with these or other applicable regulations and requirements, including non-compliance in the past, could lead to claims for damages from our channel partners, penalties, and termination of contracts and suspension or debarment from government contracting for a period of time with government agencies. Any such damages, penalties, disruption, or limitation in our ability to do business with a government could materially and adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition, public perception, and growth prospects.

We are required to comply with governmental export control, economic sanctions and import laws and regulations. Our failure to comply with these laws and regulations could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Exports, reexports and certain transfers of our solution, including the underlying technology and source code and products, may be subject to governmental, including United States and European Union, export control and economic sanctions laws and regulations. Certain of our products, technologies, and services are, and may in the future be, subject to the EAR. U.S. export control laws and regulations and economic sanctions include various restrictions and license requirements, including prohibiting the shipment of certain products, technology, software and services to U.S. embargoed or sanctioned countries, governments, and persons. Complying with export control, economic sanctions and import laws and regulations for a particular sale may be time-consuming and may result in the delay or loss of sales opportunities. While we take precautions to prevent our platform, products, services, technology and software from being exported, reexported or transferred in violation of these laws, if we were to fail to comply with U.S. export laws, U.S. Customs regulations and import regulations, U.S. economic sanctions, and other countries’ import and export laws, we could be subject to substantial civil and criminal penalties, including fines for the company and incarceration for responsible employees and managers, and the possible loss of export privileges.

Additionally, the export control laws and regulations impose licensing, filing and reporting requirements on encryption and products, technologies and software that incorporate or use certain encryption. We incorporate encryption technology into certain of our products and our products, software and technology may require export authorization including by license, a license exception or other appropriate government authorization for export, reexport or transfer outside of the United States. In addition, various countries regulate the import of certain encryption technology, including import permitting and licensing requirements, and have enacted laws that could limit our ability to distribute our products or could limit our customers’ ability to implement our products in those countries. We cannot assure you that inadvertent violations of such laws have not occurred or will not occur in connection with the distribution of our products and services despite the precautions we take. Governmental regulation of encryption technology and regulation of imports or exports, or our failure to obtain any required import or export approval for our products, technology, software, services or platform could harm our international sales and adversely affect our results of operations.

3430

Further, if our channel or other partners fail to obtain any appropriate import, export, or re-export licenses or permits, we may also be harmed, become the subject of government investigations or penalties, and incur reputational harm. In addition, access to our supply chain in China may be further restricted by future U.S. actions taken against China, such as Chinese suppliers being targeted by U.S. sanctions or being added to lists of denied persons maintained by the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). Changes in our platform, products, services, technology and software or changes in export and import regulations may create delays in the introduction of our Dot Cloud SaaS platform in international markets, prevent our customers with international operations from deploying our platform globally or, in some cases, prevent the export or import of our platform to certain countries, governments, or persons altogether. Any change in export or import laws or regulations, economic sanctions, or related legislation, shift in the enforcement or scope of existing laws and regulations, or change in the countries, governments, persons, or technologies targeted by such laws and regulations, could result in decreased use of our platform by, or in our decreased ability to export or sell subscriptions to our platform to, existing or potential customers with international operations. Any decreased use of our platform, products, services, technology and software or limitation on our ability to export or sell our platform would likely harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Regulations related to conflict minerals may cause us to incur additional expenses and could limit the supply and increase the costs of certain metals used in the manufacturing of our products.

We are subject to requirements under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 that require us to conduct due diligence on and disclose whether or not our products contain conflict minerals as defined under these provisions. The implementation of these requirements could adversely affect the sourcing, availability, and pricing of the materials used in the manufacture of components used in our devices. In addition, we incur additional costs to comply with the disclosure requirements, including costs related to conducting diligence procedures to determine the sources of minerals that may be used in or necessary for the production of our devices and, if applicable, potential changes to devices, processes, or sources of supply as a consequence of such due diligence activities. It is also possible that we may face reputational harm if we determine that certain of our devices contain minerals not determined to be conflict-free or if we are unable to alter our products, processes, or sources of supply to avoid such materials.

Regulation changes in the use of artificial intelligence are unpredictable and therefore we are not able to accurately predict how potential regulatory changes in artificial intelligence space may affect our current and future offerings.

Artificial intelligence (“AI”) is enabled by or integrated into some of our existing solutions and may play an increased role in our future offerings. The use of AI is a topic that has attracted the attention of lawmakers and regulators recently. It is hard to predict, especially in a presidential election year, what changes may come in this area in the near future. We encourage all investors to be vigilant to public policy developments in this area and will report on applicable constraints as they potentially emerge.

We may face fines, penalties, or other costs, either directly or vicariously, if any of our partners, resellers, contractors, vendors or other third parties fail to adhere to their compliance obligations under our policies and applicable law.

We use a number of third parties to perform services or act on our behalf in areas like sales, network infrastructure, administration, research, and marketing. It may be the case that one or more of those third parties fail to adhere to our policies or violate applicable federal, state, local, and international laws, including but not limited to, those related to corruption, bribery, economic sanctions, and export/import controls. Despite the significant efforts in asserting and maintaining control and compliance by these third parties, we may be held fully liable for third parties’ actions as fully as if they were a direct employee of ours. Such liabilities may create harm to our reputation, inhibit our plans for expansion, or lead to extensive liability either to private parties or government regulators, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Risks Related to Cybersecurity and Technology

Security incidents or real or perceived errors, failures or bugs in our systems or our website could impair our operations, result in loss of personal customer information, damage our reputation, and brand, and harm our business and operating results.

Our continued success is dependent on our systems, applications, and software continuing to operate and to meet the changing needs of our customers and users. We rely on our technology and engineering staff and vendors to successfully implement changes to and maintain our systems and services in an efficient and secure manner. Like all information systems and technology, our website may contain material errors, failures, vulnerabilities or bugs, particularly when new features or capabilities are released, and may be subject to computer viruses or malicious code, break-ins, phishing impersonation attacks, attempts to overload our servers with denial-of-service or other attacks, ransomware and similar incidents or disruptions from unauthorized use of our computer systems, as well as unintentional incidents causing data leakage, any of which could lead to interruptions, delays or website or online app shutdowns, or could cause loss of critical data or the unauthorized disclosure, access, acquisition, alteration or use of personal or other confidential information.

If we experience compromises to our security that result in technology performance, integrity, or availability problems, the complete shutdown of our website or the loss or unauthorized disclosure, access, acquisition, alteration or use of confidential information, customers may lose trust and confidence in us, and customers may decrease the use of our website or stop using our website entirely. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable, or degrade service, or sabotage systems change frequently, often they are not recognized until launched against a target, and may originate from less regulated and remote areas around the world, we may be unable to proactively address these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. Even if we take steps that we believe are adequate to protect us from cyber threats, hacking against our competitors or other companies could create the perception among our customers or potential customers that our website is not safe to use.

A significant impact on the performance, reliability, security, and availability of our systems, software, or services may harm our reputation, impair our ability to operate, retain existing customers or attract new customers, and expose us to legal claims and government action, each of which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects.

We are fundamentally in the data business, and as such have taken steps to use leading edge encryption and security measures in our IT deployments. However, the risk is real that our systems could be penetrated and cause business disruption and damage our brand in the marketplace.

If we experience a security breach or incident affecting our customers’ assets or data, our data or devices, our Dot Cloud SaaS platform, or other systems, our Dot Cloud SaaS platform may be perceived as not being secure, our reputation may be harmed and our business could be materially and adversely affected.

As part of our business, we process, store, and transmit our customers’ information and data as well as our own, including in our Dot Cloud SaaS platform, networks, and other systems, and we rely on third parties that are not directly under our control to do so as well. We and many of our third-party partners, including our service providers, have security measures and disaster response plans in place to help protect our customers’ data, our data, our solution, and other systems against unauthorized access. However, we cannot assure you that these security measures and disaster response plans will be adequate or effective against all security threats, including those from malicious insiders, ransomware and other malware, denial of service and other attacks, and natural disasters and other sources of disruptions to the operation of our Dot Cloud SaaS platform or our or our third-party partners’ other operations, including power outages and telecommunications and other failures. Our or our third-party partners’ systems and security measures may be breached or otherwise fail as a result of malicious insiders or third-party action, including intentional misconduct by computer hackers, phishing and other means of social engineering, including fraudulent inducement of employees or customers to disclose sensitive information such as usernames or passwords, and employee error or malfeasance. Advances in computer capabilities, new technological discoveries or other developments may result in cyberattacks becoming more sophisticated and more difficult to detect. Any such breach or failure could result in the loss, corruption, or unavailability of data or someone acquiring our or our customers’ data or obtaining unauthorized access to our customers’ data, our data, our Dot Cloud SaaS platform, or other systems. Because a security breach could materialize and techniques used by malicious actors continue to evolve, we and our third-party partners may be unable to anticipate security breaches and implement adequate preventative measures. We incur significant costs in our efforts to detect and prevent security breaches and other security-related incidents and we expect to incur additional costs in connection with improvements to our systems and processes to prevent further breaches and incidents. In the event of a future breach or incident, we could be required to expend additional significant capital and other resources in an effort to prevent further breaches or incidents, which may require us to divert substantial resources. Moreover, we could be required or otherwise find it appropriate to expend significant capital and other resources to respond to, notify third parties of, and otherwise address the incident or breach and its root cause. Each of these could require us to divert substantial resources.

Third parties may also conduct attacks designed to temporarily deny customers access to our Dot Cloud SaaS platform or to disrupt or otherwise impede such access or our solutions’ performance. Any actual or perceived security breach or incident affecting our Dot Cloud SaaS platform or operations, or data we or our service providers process or maintain, denial of service attack or other disruption to our Dot Cloud SaaS platform could result in a loss of customer confidence in the security or integrity of our solution and damage to our brand and reputation, reduce the demand for our solution, disrupt our normal business operations, require us to spend material resources to correct the breach or incident and otherwise respond to it, expose us to legal liabilities including claims and litigation by private parties, regulatory investigations and other proceedings, and indemnity obligations, and materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. These risks will increase as we continue to grow the scale and functionality of our Dot Cloud SaaS platform and as we process, store, and transmit increasingly large amounts of information and data, which may include proprietary or confidential data or personal or identifying information. Our liability in connection with any security breaches, incidents, cyberattacks or other disruptions to our solution or operations may not be adequately covered by insurance, and such events may result in an increase in our costs for insurance or insurance not being available to us on economically feasible terms, or at all. Insurers may also deny us coverage as to any future claim. Any of these results could harm our growth prospects, financial condition, business and reputation.

Abuse or misuse of our internal platform controls and system tools could cause significant harm to our business and reputation.

In order to provide real-time support to our customers, we have created internal platform controls and system tools that are used by our employees to diagnose and correct customer issues. If our employees were to intentionally abuse these platform controls and system tools, for example, by interfering with or altering our devices or our customers’ connected assets and accessing our customers’ data, or otherwise violate company policies, our customers could be significantly harmed. For example, our employees have historically had access to customers’ data, and although we have implemented greater access controls over time, such controls may not ensure that our employees’ use of customers’ data is in all cases appropriate. Any abuse or misuse by our employees of our internal platform controls and system tools, even if inadvertent, could result in potential legal liability and reputational damage to both our customers and us. Accordingly, any improper conduct, abuse or misuse, intentional or otherwise, of our platform controls and system tools could significantly and adversely harm our business and reputation.

Business disruptions or performance problems associated with our technology and infrastructure, including interruptions, delays, or failures in service from our third-party data center hosting facilities and other third-party services, could adversely affect our results of operations.

Continued adoption of our solution depends in part on the ability of our existing and potential customers to access our solution within a reasonable amount of time. We have experienced, and may in the future experience, disruptions, data loss, outages, and other performance problems with our solution and infrastructure due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, introductions of new functionality, human or software errors, capacity constraints, or other security-related incidents. If our solution is unavailable or if our users and customers are unable to access our solution within a reasonable amount of time, or at all, we may experience a decline in renewals, damage to our brand, or other harm to our business. The impact upon our customers may be further heightened by the nature of our solution connecting to their physical infrastructure, which may impede or harm their fleet, equipment, sites or other physical operations. To the extent that we do not effectively address capacity constraints, upgrade our systems as needed, and continually develop our technology and network architecture to accommodate actual and anticipated changes in technology, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

A significant portion of our critical business operations are concentrated in the United States and are supported by third-party hosting facilities. We are an automated business, and a disruption or failure of our systems, or of the third-party hosting facilities and other third-party services that we use, could cause delays in completing sales and providing services. For example, from time to time, our data center hosting facilities have experienced outages. Such disruptions or failures could also include a major earthquake, blizzard, fire, cyber-attack, act of terrorism, or other catastrophic event, or a decision by one of our third-party service providers to close facilities that we use without adequate notice, or other unanticipated problems with the third-party services that we use, including a failure to meet service standards.

Interruptions or performance problems with either our technology and infrastructure or our data center hosting facilities could, among other things:

●

result in the destruction or disruption of any of our critical business operations, controls, or procedures or information technology systems;

●

severely affect our ability to conduct normal business operations;

●

result in a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting;

●

cause our customers to terminate their subscriptions;

●

result in our issuing credits or paying penalties or fines;

●

harm our brand and reputation;

●

adversely affect our renewal rates or our ability to attract new customers; or

●

cause our solution to be perceived as not being secure.

Any of the above could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We may be unable to prevent or address the misappropriation of our data.

From time to time, third parties may misappropriate our data through website scraping, robots or other means and aggregate this data on their websites with data from other companies. In addition, copycat websites or online apps may misappropriate data and attempt to imitate our brand or the functionality of our website. If we become aware of such websites or online apps, we intend to employ technological or legal measures in an attempt to halt their operations. However, we may be unable to detect all such websites or online apps in a timely manner and, even if we could, technological and legal measures may be insufficient to halt their operations. In some cases, particularly in the case of websites or online apps operating outside of the United States, our available remedies may not be adequate to protect us against the effect of the operation of such websites or online apps. Regardless of whether we can successfully enforce our rights against the operators of these websites or online apps, any measures that we may take could require us to expend significant financial or other resources, which could harm our business, results of operations or financial condition. In addition, to the extent that such activity creates confusion among consumers or advertisers, our brand and business could be harmed.

We rely on third-party software for certain essential financial and operational services, and a failure or disruption in these services could materially and adversely affect our ability to manage our business effectively.

We rely on third-party software to provide many essential financial and operational services to support our business, including enterprise resource planning, customer relationship management, and human capital management. Many of these vendors are less established and have shorter operating histories than traditional software vendors. Moreover, many of these vendors provide their services to us via a cloud-based model instead of software that is installed on our premises. As a result, we depend upon these vendors to provide us with services that are always available and are free of errors or defects that could cause disruptions in our business processes. Any failure by these vendors to do so, or any disruption in our ability to access the Internet, would materially and adversely affect our ability to effectively manage our operations.

Failure to protect our proprietary technology and intellectual property rights could substantially harm our business and results of operations.

Our success depends to a significant degree on our ability to protect our proprietary technology, methodologies, know-how, and branding. We rely on a combination of trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets and other intellectual property laws, contractual restrictions, and technical organizational security and confidentiality procedures to establish and protect our proprietary rights. However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property rights may be limited or inadequate. For instance, we will not be able to protect our intellectual property rights if we are unable to enforce our rights or if we do not detect unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights, or unauthorized or unlawful use of our software, technology or intellectual property rights. We also cannot guarantee that our intellectual property rights will provide competitive advantages to us, that our ability to assert our intellectual property rights against potential competitors or to settle current or future disputes will not be limited by our relationships with third parties, that any of our pending or future patent applications will have the coverage originally sought, or that we will not lose the ability to assert our intellectual property rights against or to license our technology to others and collect royalties or other payments. Further, the laws of some countries may not be as protective of intellectual property rights as those in the United States, and mechanisms for enforcement of intellectual property rights may be inadequate.

In addition, despite our precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy our products, use information that we regard as proprietary to create offerings that compete with ours, or infringe upon or misappropriate our intellectual property. There is also no guarantee that third parties will abide by the terms of our agreements or that we will be able to adequately enforce our contractual rights. We may also be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring or using domain names or trademarks that are similar to, infringe upon, or diminish the value of our trademarks and other proprietary rights, thereby impeding our ability to build brand identity and possibly leading to potential confusion in the market and damage to our reputation and business.

If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights adequately, our competitors or other third parties may gain access to our proprietary technology and our business may be harmed. In addition, defending our intellectual property rights might entail significant resources and expenses, as detailed below.

There can be no assurance that our patents or patent applications will be enforceable or otherwise upheld as valid.

Any patents, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights that we have obtained or may obtain may be challenged by others or invalidated, circumvented, abandoned or lapse. As of ~~September 30~~December 31, ~~2024~~2025, our patent portfolio consisted of 2 issued U.S. patents, and 1 2 U.S. patent applications pending for examination. As of ~~September 30~~December 31, ~~2024~~2025, we did not have any non-U.S. patents or patent applications. There can be no assurance that our patent applications will result in issued patents. Even if we continue to seek patent protection in the future, we may be unable to obtain further patent protection for our technology. There can also be no assurance that our patents or application will be equally enforceable or otherwise protected by the laws of non-U.S. jurisdictions.

In addition, given the costs, effort, risks and downside of obtaining patent protection, including the requirement to ultimately disclose the invention to the public, we may choose not to seek patent protection for certain innovations; however, such patent protection could later on prove to be important to our business. Further, any patents may not provide us with competitive advantages, or may be successfully challenged by third parties. Furthermore, legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability, and scope of protection of intellectual property rights are uncertain.

Confidentiality agreements with employees and others may not adequately prevent disclosure of trade secrets and other proprietary information.

To protect our trade secrets, confidential information and distribution of our proprietary information, we generally enter into confidentiality, non-compete, proprietary, and invention assignment agreements with our employees and consultants and enter into confidentiality agreements with other parties. We also have entered into confidentiality agreements to protect our confidential information delivered to third parties for research and other purposes. No assurance can be given that these agreements will be effective in controlling access to trade secrets, confidential information and distribution of our proprietary information, especially in certain U.S. states and countries that are less willing to enforce such agreements. Further, these agreements may not prevent our competitors from independently developing technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our products. In addition, others may independently discover our trade secrets and confidential information, and in such cases we could not assert any trade secret rights against such parties. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our trade secret rights and related confidentiality and nondisclosure provisions, and failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection, or our competitors’ obtainment of our trade secrets or independent development of unpatented technology similar to ours or competing technologies, could adversely affect our competitive business position.

In order to protect our intellectual property rights and proprietary technology, we may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect our intellectual property rights. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights and to protect our trade secrets. Litigation brought to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could be costly, time-consuming, and distracting to management, and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property. Further, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims, and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights. Our inability to protect our intellectual property rights and proprietary technology against unauthorized copying or use, as well as any costly litigation or diversion of our management’s attention and resources, could delay further sales or the implementation of our products, impair the functionality of our products, delay introductions of new products, result in our substituting inferior or more costly technologies into our products, or injure our brand and reputation.

We may become subject to intellectual property disputes, which are costly and may subject us to significant liability and increased costs of doing business.

Third parties may in the future claim that our operations and solutions infringe their intellectual property rights, and such claims may result in legal claims against our customers and us. These claims may damage our brand and reputation, harm our customer relationships, and result in liability for us. We expect the number of such claims will increase as the number of solutions and the level of competition in our market grows, the functionality of our solution overlaps with that of other products and services, and the volume of issued patents and patent applications continues to increase. We may have agreed in certain customer contracts to indemnify customers, and have accepted tenders for indemnification from certain of such customers, for expenses or liabilities they incur as a result of third-party intellectual property infringement claims associated with our solution. To the extent that any claim arises as a result of third-party technology we use in our solutions, we may be unable to recover from the appropriate third party any expenses or other liabilities that we incur.

Companies in the software and technology industries, including some of our current and potential competitors, own patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets and frequently enter into litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. In addition, many of these companies have the capability to dedicate substantially greater resources to enforce their intellectual property rights and to defend claims that may be brought against them than we do. Furthermore, patent holding companies, non-practicing entities, and other patent owners that are not deterred by our existing intellectual property protections may seek to assert patent claims against us. Third parties may assert patent, copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights against us, our channel partners, our technology partners, or our customers. We may be subject to litigation in the future, that claims we have misappropriated, misused, or infringed other parties’ intellectual property rights, and, to the extent we gain greater market visibility, we face a higher risk of being the subject of intellectual property infringement claims, which is not uncommon in our industry. These and other possible disagreements could lead to delays in the collaborative research, development or commercialization of our solutions, or could require or result in costly and time-consuming litigation that may not be decided in our favor. Any such event could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

There may be third-party intellectual property rights, including issued or pending patents, that cover significant aspects of our technologies or business methods. In addition, if we acquire or license technologies from third parties, we may be exposed to increased risk of being the subject of intellectual property infringement due to, among other things, our lower level of visibility into the development process with respect to such technology and the care taken to safeguard against infringement risks. These claims may damage our brand and reputation, harm our customer relationships, and create liability for us.

Any intellectual property claims, with or without merit, could be very time-consuming, could be expensive to settle or litigate, and could divert our management’s attention and other resources. These claims could also subject us to significant liability for damages, potentially including treble damages if we are found to have willfully infringed patents or copyrights, and may require us to indemnify our customers for liabilities they incur as a result of such claims. These claims could also result in our having to stop using technology found to be in violation of a third party’s rights. We might be required to seek a license for the intellectual property, which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all. Even if a license were available, we could be required to pay significant royalties, which would increase our operating expenses. Alternatively, we could be required to develop alternative non-infringing technology, which could require significant time, effort, and expense, and may affect the performance or features of our solution. If we cannot license or develop alternative non-infringing substitutes for any infringing technology used in any aspect of our business, we would be forced to limit or stop sales of our solution and may be unable to compete effectively. Any of these results would adversely affect our business operations and financial condition.

Our exposure to risks associated with the use of intellectual property may be increased as a result of acquisitions.

Our exposure to risks associated with the use of intellectual property may be increased as a result of acquisitions, as we have a lower level of visibility into the development process with respect to acquired technology or the care taken to safeguard against infringement risks. Third parties may make infringement and similar or related claims after we have acquired technology that had not been asserted prior to our acquisition. Any of these results would harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. These risks have been amplified by the increase in third parties whose sole or primary business is to assert such claims.

Issues in the use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) in our solution may result in reputational harm or liability.

AI is enabled by or integrated into some of our existing solutions and may play an increased role in our future offerings. As with many developing technologies, AI presents risks and challenges that could affect its further development, adoption, and use, and therefore our business. AI algorithms may be flawed. Datasets may be insufficient, of poor quality, or contain biased information. Inappropriate or controversial data practices by data scientists, engineers, and end-users of our systems could impair the acceptance of AI solutions. If the recommendations, forecasts, or analyses that AI applications assist in producing are or are alleged to be deficient or inaccurate, we could be subjected to competitive harm, potential legal liability, and brand or reputational harm. Some AI scenarios may also present ethical issues. Though our business practices are designed to mitigate many of these risks, if we enable or offer AI solutions that are controversial because of their purported or real impact on human rights, privacy, employment, or other social issues, we may experience brand or reputational harm.

Our use of open source software could negatively affect our ability to sell subscriptions to our Dot Cloud SaaS platform and subject us to possible litigation.

Our Dot Cloud SaaS platform incorporates open source software, and we expect to continue to incorporate open source software in our Dot Cloud SaaS platform in the future. Few of the licenses applicable to open source software have been interpreted by courts, and there is a risk that these licenses could be construed in a manner that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to commercialize our solution or other products we may develop in the future. We also rely upon third-party, non-employee contractors to perform certain development services on our behalf, and we cannot be certain that such contractors will comply with our review processes or not incorporate software code made available under open source licenses into our proprietary code base.

We may be found to have used open source software in our software in a manner that is inconsistent with the terms of the applicable license or our current policies and procedures. For example, certain kinds of open source licenses may require that any person who creates a product or service that contains, links to, or is derived from software that was subject to an open source license must also make their own product or service subject to the same open source license. If these requirements are found to apply to our products and we fail to comply with them, we may be subject to certain requirements, including requirements that we offer additional portions of our solutions for no cost, that we make available additional source code for modifications or derivative works we create based upon, incorporating or using the open source software, and that we license such modifications or derivative works under the terms of applicable open source licenses.

If an author or other third party that distributes such open source software were to allege that we had not complied with the conditions of one or more of these licenses, we could be required to incur significant legal expenses defending against such allegations and could be subject to significant damages, enjoined from the sale of our products that contained the open source software, or required to comply with onerous conditions or restrictions on these products, which could disrupt the distribution and sale of these products. In addition, there have been claims challenging the ownership rights in open source software against companies that incorporate open source software into their products, and the licensors of such open source software provide no warranties or indemnities with respect to such claims. Moreover, we cannot assure you that our processes for controlling our use of open source software in our solution will be effective. In any of these events, we and our customers could be required to seek licenses from third parties in order to continue offering our products, to re-engineer our products, or to discontinue the sale of our products in the event re-engineering cannot be accomplished on a timely basis. We and our customers may also be subject to suits by parties claiming infringement, misappropriation or violation due to the reliance by our solutions on certain open source software, and such litigation could be costly for us to defend or subject us to an injunction.

Some open source projects provided on an “as-is” basis have known vulnerabilities and architectural instabilities which, if used in our product and not properly addressed, could negatively affect the security or performance of our product. Any of the foregoing could require us to devote additional research and development resources to re-engineer our solutions, could result in customer dissatisfaction, and may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Indemnity provisions in various agreements potentially expose us to substantial liability for intellectual property infringement, misappropriation, violation, and other losses.

Our agreements with customers and other third parties have in some cases included indemnification provisions under which we agree to indemnify them for losses suffered or incurred as a result of claims of intellectual property infringement, misappropriation or violation, damages caused by us to property or persons, or other liabilities relating to or arising from our solution or other contractual obligations. Large indemnity payments could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Pursuant to certain agreements, we do not have a cap on our liability and any payments under such agreements would harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Although we normally contractually limit our liability with respect to some of these indemnity obligations, we may still incur substantial liability related to them. Any dispute with a customer with respect to such obligations could have adverse effects on our relationship with that customer and other existing customers and new customers and harm our business and results of operations.

We rely on the availability of licenses to third-party technology that may be difficult to replace or that may cause errors or delay implementation of our solution should we not be able to continue or obtain a commercially reasonable license to such technology.

Our Dot Cloud SaaS platform relies on software or other intellectual property licensed from third parties. It may be necessary in the future to renew licenses relating to various aspects of these solutions or to seek new licenses for existing or new solutions. There can be no assurance that the necessary licenses would be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Third parties may terminate their licenses with us for a variety of reasons, including actual or perceived failures or breaches of contractual commitments, or they may choose not to renew their licenses with us. In addition, we may be subject to liability if third-party software that we license is found to infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate intellectual property or privacy rights of others. The loss of, or inability to obtain, certain third-party licenses or other rights or to obtain such licenses or rights on favorable terms, or the need to engage in litigation regarding these matters, could result in product roll-backs or delays in product releases until equivalent technology can be identified, licensed or developed, if at all, and integrated into our solutions, and it may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Moreover, the use by our solution of software or other intellectual property licensed from third parties on a nonexclusive basis could limit our ability to differentiate our solution from products of our competitors and could inhibit our ability to provide the current level of service to existing customers.

Changes in or the loss of third-party licenses could lead to our solutions becoming inoperable or the performance of our solutions being materially reduced, resulting in the potential need to incur additional research and development costs to ensure continued performance of our solutions or a material increase in the costs of licensing, and we may experience decreased demand for our solutions.

Risks Related to Being a Public Company

The market price and trading volume of our Common Stock and Public Warrants may be highly volatile and could decline significantly.

Securities markets worldwide experience significant price and volume fluctuations. This market volatility, as well as general economic, market or political conditions, could reduce the market price of our Common Stock and Public Warrants in spite of our operating performance. We cannot assure you that the market price of our Common Stock and Public Warrants will not fluctuate widely or decline significantly in the future in response to a number of factors, including any of the risks presented under this section entitled “Risk Factors” or presented elsewhere in this prospectus, and, among others, the following:

●

our operating and financial performance, quarterly or annual earnings relative to similar companies;

●

publication of research reports or news stories about the us, our competitors or our industry, or positive or negative recommendations or withdrawal of research coverage by securities analysts;

●

the public’s reaction to our press-releases, other public announcements and filings with the SEC;

●

announcements by us or our competitors of acquisitions, business plans or commercial relationships;

●

any major change in the Board or senior management;

●

sales of Common Stock by the Company, our directors, executive officers, principal shareholders;

●

adverse market reaction to any indebtedness we may incur or securities we may issue in the future;

●

short sales, hedging and other derivative transactions in our Common Stock;

●

exposure to capital market risks related to changes in interest rates, realized investment losses, credit spreads, equity prices, foreign exchange rates and performance of insurance-linked investments;

●

our creditworthiness, financial condition, performance and prospects;

●

our dividend policy and whether dividends on our Common Stock have been, and are likely to be, declared and paid from time to time;

●

perceptions of the investment opportunity associated with our Common Stock relative to other investment alternatives;

●

regulatory or legal developments;

●

changes in general market, economic, and political conditions, such as inflationary pressures, rising interest rates, potential recession, local and national elections, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations, corruption, political instability and acts of war or terrorism;

●

conditions or trends in our industry, geographies or customers;

●

changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations, or principles; and

●

threatened or actual litigation or government investigations.

In addition, broad market and industry factors may negatively affect the market price of our Common Stock, regardless of our actual operating performance, and factors beyond our control may cause our stock price to decline rapidly and unexpectedly. In addition, in the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Litigation of this type could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects. Any adverse determination in litigation could also subject us to significant liabilities.

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our securities irrespective of our operating performance. The stock market in general and Nasdaq in particular have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of our securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for retail stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to us following the ~~business~~Business ~~combination~~Combination could depress our stock price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of our securities also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

Our management team has limited experience managing a public company.

Most members of our management team have limited experience managing a publicly traded company, interacting with public company investors, and complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies. Our management team may not successfully or efficiently manage our transition to being a public company subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under the federal securities laws and the continuous scrutiny of securities analysts and investors. These new obligations and constituents will require significant attention from our senior management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our business, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our shares or if our results of operations do not meet their expectations, our share price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our Common Stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on us. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of us, the trading price of our shares would likely be negatively impacted. In the event securities or industry analysts-initiated coverage, and one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our share price or trading volume to decline. Moreover, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock, or if our results of operations do not meet their expectations, our share price could decline.

As a public company, we are subject to additional laws, regulations, and stock exchange listing standards, which impose additional costs on us and may strain our resources and divert our management’s attention.

As a company with publicly traded securities, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the listing requirements of the Nasdaq and other applicable securities laws and regulations.

These rules and regulations require that we adopt additional controls and procedures and disclosure, corporate governance and other practices thereby significantly increasing our legal, financial, and other compliance costs. These obligations make other aspects of our business more difficult, time-consuming, or costly and increase demand on our personnel, systems, and other resources. For example, to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we need to commit significant resources, hire additional staff, and provide additional management oversight. Furthermore, as a result of the disclosure of information in this prospectus and in our Exchange Act and other filings required of a public company, our business and financial condition will become more visible, which we believe may give some of our competitors who may not be similarly required to disclose this type of information a competitive advantage. In addition to these added costs and burdens, if we are unable to satisfy our obligations as a public company, we could be subject to delisting of our Common Stock, fines, sanctions, other regulatory actions, and civil litigation, any of which could negatively affect the price of our Common Stock.

Failure to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq could result in a delisting of our Common Stock, which could have a material adverse effect on the liquidity of our Common Stock.

Our Common Stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq has requirements that a company must meet in order to remain listed on Nasdaq. In particular, Nasdaq rules require us to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share of our Common Stock. If the closing bid price of our Common Stock were to remain below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days or we do not meet other listing requirements, we would fail to be in compliance with Nasdaq listing standards. There can be no assurance that we will continue to meet the minimum bid price requirement, or any other requirement in the future. If we fail to meet the minimum bid price requirement, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC may initiate the delisting process. In addition, we may be unable to meet other applicable Nasdaq listing requirements, including maintaining minimum levels of stockholders’ equity or market values of our Common Stock in which case, our Common Stock could be delisted. Such a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the liquidity and the market price of our Common Stock. In the event of a delisting, we can provide no assurance that any action taken by us to restore compliance with listing requirements would allow our Common Stock to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our Common Stock, prevent our Common Stock from dropping below the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement or prevent future non-compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements.

4440

On February 5, 2026, the Company received deficiency notices from Nasdaq indicating that its Common Stock did not meet the minimum bid price, minimum market value of listed securities, and minimum publicly held share value requirements. The Company has been provided 180 days from the dates of the notices to regain compliance with these listing standards and intends to monitor its stock price and evaluate options to resolve the deficiencies. Failure to regain compliance could result in delisting, though the Company may seek to appeal any delisting determination.

Our Charter provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or the federal district courts within the State of Delaware if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, will be the exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees. These exclusive-forum provisions do not apply to claims under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

Our Charter provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, for (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (2) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees or agents or our stockholders, (3) any action asserting a claim against us or any director or officer arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our Charter or Bylaws, or (4) any other action asserting a claim that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall be the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or federal court located within the State of Delaware if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, in all cases subject to the court’s having jurisdiction over indispensable parties named as defendants. 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, and accordingly, both state and federal courts have jurisdiction to entertain such Securities Act claims. To prevent having to litigate claims in multiple jurisdictions and the threat of inconsistent or contrary rulings by different courts, among other considerations, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternate forum, the federal courts will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Our Charter does not address or apply to claims that arise under the Exchange Act; however, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation and bylaws has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that, in connection with any action, a court could find the choice of forum provisions contained in our Charter and Bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in such action.

Although we believe these provisions benefit us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law for the specified types of actions and proceedings, the provisions may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against us or our directors and officers. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our Charter and Bylaws 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, financial condition, and operating results. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in our shares of capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this exclusive forum provision but will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Our quarterly operating results and other operating metrics may fluctuate from quarter to quarter, which makes these metrics difficult to predict.

Our quarterly operating results and other operating metrics have fluctuated in the past and may continue to fluctuate from quarter to quarter. As a result, you should not rely on our past quarterly operating results as indicators of future performance. You should take into account the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in rapidly evolving markets. Our financial condition and operating results in any given quarter can be influenced by numerous factors, many of which we are unable to predict or are outside of our control, including:

●

our ability to maintain and attract new customers;

●

the continued development and upgrading of our technology platform;

●

the timing and success of new product, service, feature, and content introductions by us or our competitors or any other change in the competitive landscape of our market;

●

pricing pressure as a result of competition or otherwise;

●

delays or disruptions in our supply chain;

●

errors in our forecasting of the demand for our products and services, which could lead to lower revenue or increased costs, or both;

●

increases in marketing, sales, and other operating expenses that we may incur to grow and expand our operations and to remain competitive;

●

successful expansion into international markets;

●

the diversification and growth of our revenue sources;

●

our ability to maintain gross margins and operating margins;

●

constraints on the availability of consumer financing or increased down payment requirements to finance purchases of our products;

●

system failures or breaches of security or privacy;

●

adverse litigation judgments, settlements, or other litigation-related costs, including content costs for past use;

●

changes in the legislative or regulatory environment, including with respect to insurance and consumer product regulations;

●

fluctuations in currency exchange rates and changes in the proportion of our revenue and expenses denominated in foreign currencies;

●

changes in our effective tax rate;

●

changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations, or principles; and

●

changes in business or macroeconomic conditions, including lower consumer confidence, recessionary conditions, increased unemployment rates, or stagnant or declining wages.

Any one of the factors above or the cumulative effect of some of the factors above may result in significant fluctuations in our operating results.

The variability and unpredictability of our quarterly operating results or other operating metrics could result in our failure to meet our expectations or those of analysts that cover us or investors with respect to revenue or other operating results for a particular period. If we fail to meet or exceed such expectations, the market price of our Common Stock could fall substantially, and we could face costly lawsuits, including securities class action suits.

Failure to establish and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.

We are required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which require management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of controls over financial reporting.

Although we are required to disclose changes made in our internal controls and procedures on a quarterly basis, we are not required to make our first annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until the year following our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC. As an emerging growth company, our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until the later of (i) the year following our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC or (ii) the date we are no longer an emerging growth company. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our controls are documented, designed, or operating.

To comply with the requirements of being a public company, we have undertaken various actions, and will need to take additional actions, such as implementing numerous internal controls and procedures and hiring additional accounting or internal audit staff or consultants. Testing and maintaining internal control can divert our management’s attention from other matters that are important to the operation of our business. Additionally, when evaluating our internal control over financial reporting, we may identify material weaknesses that we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the applicable deadline imposed upon us for compliance with the requirements of Section 404. If we identify any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting or are unable to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting once we are no longer an emerging growth company, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our Common Stock could be negatively affected. We could also become subject to investigations by the SEC, the stock exchange on which our securities are listed or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources. In addition, if we fail to remedy any material weakness, our financial statements could be inaccurate, and we could face restricted access to capital markets.

Taking advantage of the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to “emerging growth companies” may make our Common Stock less attractive to investors.

The JOBS Act provides that, so long as a company qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” it will, among other things:

●

be exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that its independent registered public accounting firm provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting;

●

be exempt from the “say on pay” and “say on golden parachute” advisory vote requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”);

●

be exempt from certain disclosure requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act relating to compensation of its executive officers and be permitted to omit the detailed compensation discussion and analysis from proxy statements and reports filed under the Exchange Act; and

●

be exempt from any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or be required to deliver a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis).

We currently take advantage of each of the exemptions described above. Further, pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act, as an emerging growth company, we have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. As a result, our operating results and financial statements may not be comparable to the operating results and financial statements of other companies who have adopted the new or revised accounting standards. It is possible that some investors will find our Common Stock less attractive as a result, which may result in a less active trading market for our Common Stock and higher volatility in our stock price. We ~~could~~will beremain an emerging growth company ~~for~~until upthe toearliest ~~five years following~~of (i) the ~~effectiveness~~last day of the ~~registration~~fiscal year ~~statement~~(a) ~~for~~following ~~the~~November ~~Business~~23, ~~Combination~~2026, ~~though~~the wefifth ~~may~~anniversary ~~cease~~of tothe beclosing anof ~~emerging~~SUAC’s ~~growth company~~IPO, ~~earlier if~~ (1b) in which we have ~~more~~total ~~than~~annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion or (c) in ~~annual~~which ~~gross~~the ~~revenue,~~Company ~~(2) we~~is ~~qualify~~deemed asto be a “large accelerated filer”, aswhich ~~defined~~means inthe ~~Rule 12b~~market value of our Common Stock that are held by non-~~2 under~~affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our prior second fiscal quarter and we have been subject to the Exchange Act’s reporting requirements for at least 12 months and have filed at least one annual report, orand (3ii) we ~~issue,~~the indate ~~any~~on ~~three-year period,~~which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt ~~securities~~during the prior three-year period. We cannot predict if investors will find our Common Stock less attractive if we elect to rely on these exemptions, or if taking advantage of these exemptions would result in less active trading or more volatility in the price of our Common Stock.

The requirements of being a public company, including maintaining adequate internal control over our financial and management systems, may strain our resources, divert management’s attention, and affect our ability to attract and retain executive management and qualified board members.

As a public company we incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. We are currently subject to or may become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, the rules and regulations of the listing standards of the Nasdaq, and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations will likely strain our financial and management systems, internal controls, and employees.

The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly, and current reports with respect to our business and operating results. Moreover, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control, over financial reporting. In order to maintain and, if required, improve our disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over, financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight may be required. If ~~we have material weaknesses or deficiencies in~~ our internal control over financial reporting is not effective, we may ~~not~~fail to detect errors or fraud on a timely basis, and our ~~consolidated~~ financial statements ~~may~~ could be materially misstated. ~~Effective internal control is necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and is important to prevent fraud.~~

47We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and may identify additional material weaknesses in the future or fail to maintain an effective system of internal control. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The existence of material weaknesses could adversely affect investor confidence in our reported financial information and our ability to access the capital markets.

In addition, we will be required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act when we cease to be an emerging growth company. We expect to incur significant expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As a result of the complexity involved in complying with the rules and regulations applicable to public companies, our management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm our business, operating results, and financial condition. Although we have already engaged additional resources to assist us in complying with these requirements, our finance team is small and we may need to hire more employees in the future, or engage outside consultants, which will increase our operating expenses.

We also expect that being a public company and complying with applicable rules and regulations will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to incur substantially higher costs to obtain and maintain the same or similar coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of the Board and qualified executive officers.

Our ability to raise capital in the future may be limited.

Our business and operations may consume resources faster than we anticipate. In the future, we may need to raise additional funds through the issuance of new equity securities, debt, or a combination of both. However, the lapse or waiver of any lock up restrictions or any sale or perception of a possible sale by our stockholders, and any related decline in the market price of our Common Stock, could impair our ability to raise capital. Separately, additional financing may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to fund our capital requirements. If we issue new debt securities, the debt holders would have rights senior to our Common Stock stockholders to make claims on our assets, and the terms of any debt could restrict our operations, including our ability to pay dividends on our Common Stock. If we issue additional equity securities, existing stockholders will experience dilution, and the new equity securities could have rights senior to those of our Common Stock. Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, or nature of our future offerings. Thus, our stockholders bear the risk of our future securities offerings reducing the market price of our Common Stock and diluting their interest.

The forecasts of market growth and other projections included in this prospectus may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the markets in which we compete achieve the forecasted growth, we cannot assure you that our business will grow at a similar rate, if at all.

Growth forecasts and projections are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate. The forecasts in this prospectus relating to the expected growth in the direct to consumer vehicle and consumer product protection plan market, including estimates based on our own internal survey data, as well as any corresponding projections related to our potential performance, may prove to be inaccurate. Even if the markets experience the forecasted growth described in this prospectus, we may not grow our business at a similar rate, or at all. Our growth is subject to many factors, including our success in implementing our business strategy, which is subject to many risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, the forecasts of market growth included in this prospectus should not be taken as indicative of our future growth.

Our business and operations could be negatively affected if it becomes subject to any securities litigation or stockholder activism, which could cause us to incur significant expense, hinder execution of business and growth strategy and impact its stock price.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. Stockholder activism, which could take many forms or arise in a variety of situations, has been increasing recently. Volatility in the stock price of our Common Stock or other reasons may in the future cause it to become the target of securities litigation or stockholder activism. Securities litigation and stockholder activism, including potential proxy contests, could result in substantial costs and divert managements and our Board’s attention and resources from our business. Additionally, such securities litigation and stockholder activism could give rise to perceived uncertainties as to our future, adversely affect its relationships with service providers and make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel. Also, we may be required to incur significant legal fees and other expenses related to any securities litigation and activist stockholder matters. Further, its stock price could be subject to significant fluctuation or otherwise be adversely affected by the events, risks and uncertainties of any securities litigation and stockholder activism.

THE WHITE LION TRANSACTION

Common Stock Purchase Agreement

On April 17, 2026, the Company entered into the Common Stock Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement with White Lion, pursuant to which White Lion has committed to purchase up to $10,000,000 of Common Stock, subject to certain limitations and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

Under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to White Lion, and White Lion is obligated to purchase, up to $10,000,000 of the Company’s Common Stock. Such sales of Common Stock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations specified in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s sole discretion, during the Commitment Period.

Rapid Purchases

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, during the Commitment Period, we will have the right, but not the obligation, to direct White Lion to purchase shares of our Common Stock by delivering a Rapid Purchase Notice. A Rapid Purchase Notice will be deemed delivered on the business day on which (i) the Rapid Purchase Notice is received and accepted by email by White Lion and (ii) the DWAC of the applicable shares has been initiated and completed as confirmed by White Lion’s designated brokerage account, in each case by 6:00 a.m. Pacific time (the “Rapid Purchase Notice Date”). The purchase price for each Rapid Purchase (the “Rapid Purchase Price”) will be equal to the average of the three (3) lowest traded prices of the Common Stock during the two (2) hour period following White Lion’s written consent of acceptance of the applicable Rapid Purchase Notice.

VWAP Purchases

Other Terms

The Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of Common Stock to White Lion pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. White Lion does not have the right to require the Company to sell any shares of Common Stock, but is obligated to purchase shares as directed by the Company, subject to the conditions set forth in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

The actual amount and timing of any sales of Common Stock will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend on various factors, including, among others, general market conditions, the trading price of the Common Stock, and the Company’s assessment of appropriate funding sources for its operations. The net proceeds that the Company may receive under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement will vary based on the frequency of sales and the prices at which shares are sold to White Lion. The Company currently intends to use any proceeds from such sales for working capital and general corporate purposes.

In the case of Rapid Purchases and VWAP Purchases, the purchase price per share will be equitably adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction occurring during the business days used to compute the purchase price.

The aggregate number of shares that the Company can sell to White Lion under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement together with the number of Commitment Shares (defined below) is limited to and may not exceed (i) 15,000,000 shares (subject to adjustment as described above), which is equal to 19.99% of the total shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Exchange Cap”), unless either of the following conditions is satisfied: (i) the Company obtains stockholder approval to issue Purchase Shares in excess of the Exchange Cap; or (ii) the average price paid for all shares of Common Stock issued under the Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds the lower of: (A) the Nasdaq official closing price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement; and (B) the average official closing price of our Common Stock on Nasdaq for the five consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

In all cases, the Common Stock Purchase Agreement also prohibits the Company from directing White Lion to purchase any shares of Common Stock if those shares, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by White Lion (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13d-3 thereunder), would result in White Lion beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the then total outstanding shares of Common Stock, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may be increased to 9.99% upon the mutual written agreement of the Company and White Lion, effective not less than sixty-one (61) days after such mutual written agreement.

White Lion has agreed not to engage in or effect, directly or indirectly, for its own principal account or for the principal account of any of its affiliates, any short sales of the Common Stock during the term of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. The Company has agreed to a prohibition on variable rate transactions without White Lion’s prior consent (the “Variable Rate Prohibition”) and has granted White Lion a right of first refusal on future financings (the “Right of First Refusal”), each during the term of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

In consideration for White Lion’s execution and delivery of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company will issue to White Lion shares of Common Stock valued in an aggregate amount of $120,000 (the “Commitment Shares”). The amount of shares to be issued shall be determined by dividing $120,000 by the Commitment Fee Price (which is the closing price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the earlier of (i) the date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC and (ii) the date that is 180 calendar days following the date of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement), provided, however, that the Company shall not issue a number of Commitment Shares in excess of the Exchange Cap. The Commitment Shares will be fully earned as of the Effective Date of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement and are not contingent upon the Company submitting a Purchase Notice, the filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or any termination of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. White Lion shall not resell, on any single business day, an amount of Commitment Shares exceeding 10% of the median daily trading volume of the Common Stock.

The Common Stock Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations of both parties. The Company may terminate the Common Stock Purchase Agreement upon five Trading Days’ prior written notice to White Lion, provided that (i) there are no outstanding Purchase Notices under which Common Stock has yet to be issued, and (ii) the Company has paid all amounts owed to White Lion pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. The Common Stock Purchase Agreement may also be terminated at any time by the mutual written consent of the parties.

Commitment Warrants

In further consideration for White Lion entering into the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, we issued to White Lion the Commitment Warrant, which entitles White Lion to purchase shares of our Common Stock having an aggregate exercise value of up to $10,000,000 (the “Warrant Shares”). The exercise price per share under the Commitment Warrant is equal to 99% of the closing sales price of the Common Stock on the trading day prior to the exercise date. The Commitment Warrant has a five-year term from the Initial Exercise Date, and expires at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Termination Date, subject to earlier termination by the Company upon five trading days’ prior written notice to White Lion. The Commitment Warrant may be exercised for cash or, if at the time of exercise there is no effective registration statement registering the resale of the Warrant Shares, on a cashless basis pursuant to a formula set forth in the Commitment Warrant. The Commitment Warrant contains a beneficial ownership limitation pursuant to which White Lion does not have the right to exercise any portion of the Commitment Warrant if it would result in White Lion (together with its affiliates) beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock. The Holder, upon notice to and with the consent of the Company, may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation up to 9.99%, with any such change effective on the 61st day after such notice. Exercise of the Commitment Warrant beyond the Exchange Cap is subject to obtaining Stockholder Approval. The exercise price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, and similar events. The Commitment Warrant also contains a full ratchet anti-dilution provision, pursuant to which the exercise price will be reduced to the effective price per share of any new issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents below the then-current exercise price (subject to exceptions for certain exempt issuances), with a corresponding proportionate adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares. In the event of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Commitment Warrant), including any merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all assets, or change of control, the holder shall have the right to receive, upon exercise, the same amount and kind of securities, cash, or other property that the holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction had the Commitment Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto. The Commitment Warrant is fully earned as of the Effective Date and is not contingent upon any other event or condition, including the Company’s submission of a Purchase Notice or the filing or effectiveness of any registration statement, and irrespective of any termination of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

Note Purchase Agreement and Convertible Notes

Concurrently with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with White Lion, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to White Lion senior secured convertible promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to $2,875,000 (the “Convertible Notes” or the “Notes”), structured as up to ten tranches of $287,500 each, at an aggregate purchase price of up to $2,300,000 (reflecting a 20% original issue discount). Each tranche is subject to the mutual written authorization of the Company and White Lion, and neither the Company nor White Lion has any obligation to proceed with any Subsequent Closing. The first tranche is to be funded within one trading day after the Company has filed both (i) the Registration Statement and (ii) a preliminary proxy statement seeking Stockholder Approval.

The Convertible Notes bear interest at 8% per annum, with interest for the first six months on the principal amount guaranteed and accruing immediately upon issuance. Each Convertible Note matures six months from its date of issuance. The Convertible Notes may not be prepaid without the prior written consent of the holder. The Company has agreed to use the proceeds from the sale of the Notes to make scheduled monthly payments under, and to prepay the outstanding balance of, the senior secured convertible note issued to J.J. Astor & Co. In connection therewith, the proceeds of each funding will be wired directly to a bank account designated by J.J. Astor & Co. In addition, subject to satisfaction of the conditions under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to apply not less than 80% of all net proceeds received from White Lion’s purchase of Common Stock under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement to prepay the remaining balances due under the J.J. Astor notes until paid in full.

The Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holder into Conversion Shares at a variable conversion price equal to 80% of the lowest daily VWAP of the Common Stock during the fifteen (15) trading days ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date (representing a 20% discount). The Conversion Price is subject to equitable adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, and similar events. Conversions are subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation and the Exchange Cap.

The Company’s obligations under the Convertible Notes will be secured by (i) a security interest in all of the assets and personal property of the Company pursuant to the Security Agreement and (ii) a security interest in all of the Company’s intellectual property pursuant to the IP Security Agreement, each by and between the Company and White Lion. The Company has received authorization and consent from J.J. Astor & Co. to grant to White Lion a second priority lien and security interest in all assets of the Company, including the Company’s intellectual property. White Lion has the right, in its sole discretion, to require the Company to apply up to 10% of all cash proceeds received from the issuance of securities pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, or pursuant to the exercise of the Commitment Warrant or any other securities of the Company, to repay all or any portion of the outstanding amounts owed under the Notes, as more fully described above under the caption “Note Purchase Agreement and Convertible Notes” in the Prospectus Summary.

The Notes contain customary Events of Default, including, among others, failure to pay principal or interest when due, breach of covenants or representations, appointment of a receiver or trustee, bankruptcy or insolvency events, entry of material judgments, cessation of operations, failure to maintain material assets, financial statement restatements, cessation of trading of the Common Stock for five consecutive trading days, replacement of the transfer agent without delivering updated instructions, cross-default with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement and other agreements with White Lion, and transmission of material non-public information to the holder without consent. In addition, the failure of the Company to file the Registration Statement with the SEC on or before March 31, 2026, or to obtain Stockholder Approval by May 15, 2026, each constitutes an Event of Default, upon which White Lion shall have the option to use a default conversion price for conversions of the Notes. Upon an Event of Default, the outstanding principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts, will become immediately due and payable.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company and White Lion entered into the Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company was obligated to: (a) file a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (or any successor form) with the SEC within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Execution Date (the “Filing Deadline”), registering the resale by White Lion of the maximum number of Common Stock representing (i) an aggregate of up to $10,000,000 of Purchase Notice Shares, (ii) the Commitment Shares, (iii) the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Commitment Warrant, (iv) the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes issued under the Note Purchase Agreement, (v) any and all other Common Stock issued or issuable to White Lion pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement or the Note Purchase Agreement, and (vi) any capital stock of the Company issued or issuable with respect to the foregoing, including as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, exchange or similar event, in each case until such time as such securities cease to be Registrable Securities (“Registrable Securities”) as shall be permitted to be included thereon in accordance with applicable SEC rules, regulations and interpretations so as to permit the resale of such Registrable Securities by White Lion under Rule 415 under the Securities Act at then prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices); (b) use its commercially reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto declared effective by the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable following the filing thereof; and (c) subject to Allowable Grace Periods, use its commercially reasonable best efforts to keep each Registration Statement effective (and the Prospectus contained therein available for use) pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act for resales by White Lion of Registrable Securities on a continuous basis at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices) at all times until the earlier of (i) the date on which White Lion shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, (ii) the later of the date of termination of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement and the date of the Note Purchase Agreement if as of such termination date White Lion holds no Registrable Securities (or, if applicable, the date on which such securities cease to be Registrable Securities after the date of termination of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement or the Note Purchase Agreement, as applicable), and (iii) all such securities cease to be Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(f)(iii) or Section 2(f)(iv) of the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Period”).

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

DILUTION

If you purchase securities in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the assumed public offering price per share of our Common Stock and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock immediately after giving effect to this offering.

Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2025 after giving effect to the subsequent issuances of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the ELOC Agreement, was (1,563,168), or $(0.05) per share of our Common Stock. Our net tangible book value is the amount of our total tangible assets minus total liabilities. Net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2025, is our net tangible book value divided by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2025.

The information below is illustrative only. Our dilution following the closing of this offering will change based on the actual public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing. You should read this table in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent quarterly reports.

After giving effect to the sale of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock offered hereby, or shares in this offering at an assumed public offering price of $0.4200 per share of Common Stock, and after deducting estimated Placement Agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2025, would have been approximately $7.7 million, or approximately $0.15 per share of Common Stock. This amount represents an immediate increase in as adjusted net tangible book value of $0.20 per share of Common Stock to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $0.28 per share of Common Stock to investors participating in this offering. We determine dilution per share of Common Stock to investors participating in this offering by subtracting as adjusted net tangible book value per share of Common Stock after giving effect to this offering from the assumed public offering price per share of Common Stock paid by investors participating in this offering.

The following table illustrates this per share dilution to the new investors purchasing shares of Common Stock in this offering:

Assumed combined public offering price per share of Common Stock and accompanying Warrants				$	0.4200
Historical net tangible book value (deficit) per share as of September 30, 2025(1)	$	(0.05	)
As adjusted net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2025 after this offering(2)	$	0.15
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to investors purchasing in this offering				$	0.20
Dilution per share to investors purchasing in this offering				$	0.28

(1) Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2025 was approximately $(1,563,168), or $(0.05) per share based on 29,273,322 shares of Common Stock outstanding, adjusted for subsequent issuances disclosed in this prospectus. Net tangible book value represents the amount of our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of that date.

(2) The as adjusted tangible book value represents our net tangible book value, as described in note (1) above, after giving effect to the sale by us of shares of Common Stock in this offering for aggregate gross proceeds of $10.0 million at an assumed combined public offering price of $0.4200 per share of Common Stock and accompanying Warrants, after deducting Placement Agent fees of 6.5% and estimated offering expenses payable by us, and assuming no exercise of the Warrants offered hereby. The number of shares outstanding after this offering is based on 29,273,322 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2025, adjusted for subsequent issuances disclosed in this prospectus, and excludes the following:

● 1,797,840 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of vested stock options as of September 30, 2025, with a weighted-average exercise price of $0.1008 per share;

	●	15,654,983 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants as of September 30, 2025, with a weighted-average exercise price of $11.50 per share; and
	●	230,770 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants as of December 31, 2025, with a weighted-average exercise price of $1.69 per share, subject to adjustments in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the Common Stock.

To the extent that any outstanding options or warrants are exercised, new options or other equity awards are issued under our equity incentive plans, or we issue additional shares in the future, there will be further dilution to new investors participating in this offering.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

Acquiring New Customers

We believe that we have a substantial opportunity to grow our customer base. We intend to drive new customer acquisition by continuing to invest significantly in sales and marketing to engage our prospective customers, increase brand awareness, and drive adoption of our Dot Cloud platform. Our ability to attract new customers depends on a number of factors, including the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts, macroeconomic factors and their impact on our customers’ businesses, and the success of our efforts to expand internationally.

Expanding Within Our Existing Customer Base

We believe that there is a significant opportunity to expand sales to existing customers following their initial adoption of our Dot Cloud. We will expand our customer base by selling more applications and expanding use of existing applications across geographies and divisions. Our ability to expand within our customer base will depend on a number of factors, including our customers’ satisfaction, pricing, competition, macroeconomic factors, and changes in our customers’ spending levels. While there are many factors involved in this expansion, the Customer Success department will be the key internal driver to retention and expansion of customer revenue. At this juncture, it is not a significant part of our operational expense but will be built out as our bookings increase and our channel support requirements come online.

Investments in Innovation and Future Growth

Our ~~market~~ market leadership is supported by continuous innovation in our Dot Cloud, our inventions in IoT data collection and our advances in applying AI to our customer problem sets. We will continuously invest in adding new applications and methods to our ~~solution~~solutions. As such, spending on on research and development will always be an important part of our strategy.

However, the driving force that will fuel our company is market growth. Our recent pivot to move most of our spending to Sales and Marketing shows a commitment to our go-to-market strategy. We recognize the need to ~~grow~~increase adoption and expand brand awareness as we ~~rise~~increase ~~in the space.~~market ~~This fiscal year is a critical period to add productive resources to ensure success is sustained~~share.

Adding ~~additional~~ additional compliance and oversight resources as we grow, and especially as we ~~make~~adapt to operating as a public ~~offering~~entity, is a natural and essential step. In addition, our small operations team will continue to grow as the demand increases from our maturing sales pipeline.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

We ~~will~~ will provide access to our Dot Cloud through subscription arrangements, where the customer is charged a per-subscription fee for access ~~for~~ for a specified term. Subscription agreements will contain multiple service elements for one or more of our cloud-based Applications via mobile app(s) or a website that ~~enable~~enables data collection and ~~provide~~provides access to the cellular network, IoT devices (which we also refer to as connected devices), and support services delivered over the term of the arrangement. Our subscription contracts will typically have an initial term of three to five years and are generally non-cancellable and non-refundable, subject to limited exceptions under our standard terms of service and other exceptions for public sector customers, who are often subject to annual budget appropriations cycles. Our Connected Dot Cloud and IoT devices are highly integrated with the subscription service and together will represent a single performance obligation. Revenues attributable to this combined performance obligation are recognized over time as the services are delivered.

We also provide professional services including onboarding (implementation) services, marketing services, and product consulting. These services were evaluated to be distinct and are treated as separate performance obligations from the subscription services. Revenue related to these services are recognized over time as services are performed.

Currently, revenues are primarily related to the delivery of hardware products such as bridges, labels and gateways to customers. We also provide feasibility study reports to customers seeking to gain insight into how data driven tracking could improve their business, which is recognized upon acceptance of the feasibility report.

Allocation of Overhead Costs

Overhead costs that are not ~~substantially~~directly ~~dedicated~~attributable to ~~for use by~~ a specific functional group are allocated based on ~~headcount~~relative usage. ~~Such~~These costs include ~~costs~~ ~~associated~~expenses ~~with~~related ~~office~~to ~~facilities,~~warehouse ~~depreciation~~lease ~~of property~~ and ~~equipment, IT and security expenses, and other expenses, such as~~cloud ~~corporate~~hosting ~~software, subscription~~ services~~, and insurance~~. ~~Manufacturing overheads are allocated to production based on volume.~~

Cost of ~~Sales~~Goods Sold

Cost of goods ~~sales~~sold ~~will~~ consists primarily of cellular-related costs, third-party cloud infrastructure expenses, customer support costs, warranty charges, employee-related costs directly associated with our customer support and operations, including salaries, employee benefits and ~~stock~~ share-based compensation, amortization of internal-use software development, certain cloud computing implementation costs, expenses related to shipping and handling, packaging, fulfillment, warehousing, write-downs of excess and obsolete inventory, and allocated overhead costs.

As our customers expand and increase, the use of our Dot Cloud driven by additional IoT devices and Applications, our cost of ~~revenue~~goods sold may vary from quarter to quarter as a percentage of our revenue due to the timing and extent of these expenses. We intend to continue to invest additional resources in our Dot Cloud and customer support and operations personnel as we grow our business. The level and timing of investment in these areas will affect our cost of ~~revenue~~goods sold in the future.

Operating Expenses

Research and development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of employee-related costs, including salaries, employee benefits and ~~stock~~share-based compensation, depreciation and other expenses related to prototyping IoT devices, product initiatives, software subscriptions, hosting used in research and development, and allocated overhead costs. We continue to focus our research and development efforts on adding new features and products and enhancing the utility of our Dot Cloud. We capitalize the portion of our internal-use software development costs that meets the criteria for capitalization. We expect our research and development expenses to generally increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in research and development efforts to enhance our Dot Cloud. Our research and development expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our revenue from period to period due to the timing and extent of these expenses.

Sales and marketing

Sales ~~and~~ and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee-related costs directly associated with our sales and marketing activities, including salaries, employee benefits and ~~stock~~share-based compensation, and sales commissions. Sales and marketing expenses also include expenditures related to advertising, media, marketing, promotional costs, free trial expenses, brand awareness activities, business development, corporate partnerships, travel, conferences and events, professional services, and allocated overhead costs. We also have a heavy reliance on contracted services in these areas which are reflected in the department spend. We plan to continue to invest in sales and marketing to grow our customer base and increase our brand awareness. As a result, we expect our sales and marketing expenses to increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future. Our sales and marketing expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our revenue from period to period due to the timing and extent of these expenses.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses consist of employee-related costs for executive, finance, legal, human resources, facilities, and certain IT personnel, including salaries, employee benefits and ~~stock~~share-based compensation, professional fees for external legal, accounting, recruiting and other consulting services, ~~bad~~credit ~~debt~~losses, allocated overhead costs, and unallocated lease costs. We expect our general and administrative expenses to continue to increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future to support our growth and because of additional costs associated with legal, accounting, compliance, insurance, investor relations, and other areas associated with being a public company. Our general and administrative expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our revenue from period to period due to the timing and extent of these expenses.

Interest expense

Interest expense consists primarily of interest incurred for our short -term bridge loans.

Change in fair value of SAFE agreements

The ~~change~~ change in the fair value of SAFE agreements represents the unrealized gains or losses resulting from the fluctuations in the estimated ~~value~~ fair value of the outstanding SAFE agreements, or reevaluation of updated market conditions and company-specific factors.

Transaction ~~costs~~ ~~expensed~~costs

The ~~Company~~ Company accounts for transaction costs incurred in connection with the Business Combination that occurred in June 2025, and therefore ~~transaction~~ transaction costs expensed were not a component of our results of operations during 2024. Costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of equity instruments, such as legal, accounting, and advisory fees related to the merger and recapitalization, are recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. All other transaction costs have been expensed as incurred.

Loss from extinguishment of debt

Prior to the closing of the ~~Closing~~Business Combination, a lender provided the Company with a bridge loan in the aggregate principal amount of $2,850,000. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, ~~one~~the lender elected to convert a portion of ~~its~~the outstanding principal, ~~and~~totaling ~~accrued interest~~$2,456,500, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock. In connection with ~~the~~this ~~bridge loan~~ conversion, the Company derecognized the related debt liability, issued shares of Common Stock, and recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt ~~extinguishment~~of $6,141,250, ~~based~~representing onthe excess of the fair value of the ~~Common~~shares ~~Stock~~issued aton the closing date over the carrying value of ~~Closing~~the debt extinguished.

In addition, the Company assumed certain indebtedness of the SPAC in the principal amount of $1,400,000. A portion of this obligation, totaling $987,045, was subsequently repaid, and the Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $412,955. As a result of these transactions, the Company recognized a net loss on debt extinguishment of $5,728,295 upon the closing of the Business Combination.

Revenue increased by $5.6 million, or 3,261.7%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in revenue is primarily driven by higher hardware sales. Hardware implementation represents the initial step in a customer’s adoption of our SaaS subscription platform and contributed significantly to the overall growth in revenue.

The decrease in the liability balance of SAFE agreements for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024, was primarily attributable to the conversion of the SAFE notes into company shares upon the closing of the Business Combination. Upon conversion, the related liabilities were reclassified to equity.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, acquisition and integration expenses were $243 thousand, a decrease of $392 thousand, or 61.7%, compared to $635 thousand in the same period of 2024. The decrease reflects lower professional and consulting costs as the Company completed the Business Combination on June 18, 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, acquisition and integration expenses totaled $1,155 thousand, a decline of $346 thousand, or 23.1%, compared to $1,501 thousand in the prior year period. These expenses primarily consisted of accounting, auditing, and legal fees incurred in connection with the Business Combination, as well as other costs related to transaction execution and post-acquisition integration activities.55

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, there was no change in the fair value of SAFE notes, compared to a decrease of $0.8 million in the same period of 2024, representing a 100% decline. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded a decrease in fair value of $17.4 million, compared to a decrease of $14.2 million in the prior year, an increase of $3.1 million, or 22%.

At the beginning of the three-month period, no SAFE agreements were outstanding, compared to $22.7 million at the same point in 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, SAFE agreements at fair value decreased from $23.3 million to zero, following the conversion of all outstanding notes into 2,909,057 shares of Common Stock. No new SAFE agreements were issued for cash during the three months ended September 30, 2025. The change in fair value of $17.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was based on the fair value of Common Stock at closing of $14.00 per share.

The decrease in the balance of SAFE agreements was primarily driven by the increased estimated fair value of the Company and the higher probability of the Business Combination, which closed on June 18, 2025, qualifying as an “Equity Financing” under the terms of the Company’s SAFE agreements. As a result, all outstanding SAFE notes were converted into Common Stock, and no SAFE notes remained outstanding as of September 30, 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Funding Requirements and Going Concern

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to access sufficient cash flows to meet the short-term and long-term cash requirements of our business operations. To date, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the issuance of ~~common~~ shares of our Common Stock to PIPE investors contemporaneously with the close of the Business Combination, proceeds from bridge loans and other short-term borrowings. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, our growth, our ability to attract and retain customers, the continued market acceptance of our solution, the timing and extent of spending necessary to support our efforts to develop our Dot Cloud and meet our performance obligations related to subscription sales of the same, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, and the impact of macroeconomic conditions on us and our customers’ and partners’ businesses. Further, we may enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in businesses, products, services, and technologies. We will need to raise additional capital in the future to finance our operations and expand our business.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements —- Going Concern,” management anticipates the Company will continue to incur substantial operating ~~losses~~ losses for the next several years and will need to obtain additional near-term financing in order to continue its research and development activities. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital to fund research and development ~~activities~~ activities and meet obligations on a timely basis. However, there can be no assurance that sufficient funding will be available to allow us to successfully continue our research and development activities and commercialize our products.

If the Company is unable to obtain necessary funds through its business operations and the proceeds realized through the ~~business~~Business ~~combination~~Combination, significant reductions in spending and the delay or cancellation of planned activities may be necessary. These actions would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and prospects. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date these ~~interim unaudited~~ consolidated financial statements are issued.

As of ~~September~~December 3031, 2025 and ~~December 31,~~ 2024, we had cash of $1865,~~418,834~~624 and $721,032, respectively, ~~and~~deficits in working capital ~~deficit~~ of $51,~~404~~730,~~007~~ 095 and $1,215,988, respectively, and accumulative deficits of $61,451,334 and $24,733,263, respectively.

Sources of Liquidity

To date, we have funded our operations primarily through ~~with~~ proceeds from the issuance of common shares to PIPE investors ~~contemporaneously~~in connection with the ~~close~~closing of the Business Combination, ~~in the amount of~~ totaling $10,837,643, ~~and~~ proceeds from ~~the issuance of~~ bridge loans. Asand ofother ~~September~~short-term ~~30, 2025, we had cash of $1,418,834~~borrowings. In the future, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity, debt financings, and improvement of cash from operations derived from selling subscriptions to our platform.

61As part of its funding efforts, on June 18, 2025, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with New Circle Principal Investment LLC (“New Circle”), which provides the Company the right, but not the obligation, to direct New Circle from time to time to purchase up to $50 million of shares of the Company’s Common Shares during the commitment period ending June 18, 2028, at a discount of the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) over a defined pricing period. Under the SEPA, the Company may sell shares to New Circle at a price based on either: option 1 - 97% of the lowest daily VWAP over the three trading days following the purchase notice, or option 2 - the greater of 85% of the VWAP or the lowest sale price on a specific trading day determined by the timing of the notice.

As part of its funding efforts, on June 18, 2025, the Company entered into the ELOC Agreement with New Circle Principal Investment LLC (“New Circle”), which provides the Company the right, but not the obligation, to direct New Circle from time to time to purchase up to $50 million of the Company’s Common Shares during the commitment period ending June 18, 2028, at a discount of the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) over a defined pricing period. Under the ELOC Agreement, the Company may sell shares to the New Circle at a price based on either: option 1 – 97% of the lowest daily VWAP over the three trading days following the purchase notice, or option 2 – the greater of 85% of the VWAP or the lowest sale price on a specific trading day determined by the timing of the notice.56

Any purchase would be subject to certain limitations, including that New Circle shall not purchase any shares that would result in it and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the then outstanding voting power or number of shares of Common Stock or any shares that would exceed 19.99% of all shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding on the date of the ~~ELOC Agreement~~SEPA, unless Company shareholder approval was obtained allowing for issuances in excess of such amount (the “Exchange Cap”). The Exchange Cap will not apply under certain circumstances, including where the average purchase price of all applicable sales of Common Shares equals or exceeds the lower of (i) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price immediately preceding the Effective Date; or (ii) the average Nasdaq Official Closing Price for the five Trading Days immediately preceding the Effective Date.

The Company had the option to satisfy the $350,000 commitment fee under the ~~ELOC~~SEPA ~~Agreement~~ through the issuance of a variable number of shares of Common Stock or by payment in cash. On September 24, 2025, the Company paid the commitment fee through the issuance of 106,383 shares of Common Stock, valued at $3.29 per share, which was determined based on the closing price of the Common Stock on September 18, 2025, the date the Form S-1 was declared effective by the SEC. The commitment fee of $350,000 was expensed in September 2025.

Before the Company elects to sell shares by issuing a purchase notice, the ~~ELOC~~SEPA ~~Agreement~~ represents a purchased put option on the Company’s equity. Once the Company delivers a purchase notice under the ~~ELOC Agreement~~SEPA, the related number of shares to be issued constitutes a forward contract to issue ~~common~~shares ~~stock~~of Common Stock. As the feature is embedded in an equity host, meets the definition of a derivative, and does not qualify for the equity scope exception under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, it must be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative asset or liability, depending on changes in the underlying stock price relative to the pegged discounted VWAP. The derivative is measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The fair value of the purchased put option was determined to be de minimis as of ~~September~~December 3031, 2025, and therefore was not recorded on the Company’s balance sheet as of that date.

On October 13, December 30, and December 31, 2025, the Company issued purchase notices for the sale of 30,000, 500,000, and 1,000,000 shares, respectively, at settlement prices of $2.62, $0.32, and $0.32 per share, resulting in total cash proceeds received in 2025 of $78,516, $159,500, and $317,000, respectively. The Company issued 30,000 shares in October 2025 and 1,000,000 shares in December 2025, with the remaining 500,000 shares settled and administratively issued in early January 2026. Because the shares were issued to New Circle at prices determined using a discounted VWAP formula, the cash proceeds received were below the fair value of the shares on the respective issuance dates. The Company measured the shares at their fair value on the date cash was received and recognized the difference between (i) the fair value of the shares issued and (ii) the proceeds calculated pursuant to the discounted VWAP pricing terms. This difference, totaling $246,184, was recorded as a loss on issuance of shares in the statement of operations.

Subsequent to the year end through March 11, 2026, Edmund Nabrotzky, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Charles Maddox, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, and Vijayan Nambiar, Chief Technology Officer of the Company loaned the Company an aggregate of $350,000 and may make additional loans to the Company up to an aggregate amount of $600,000 (collectively, the “Executive Loans”). The Executive Loans have been made, or will be made, on the terms and conditions of an unsecured, subordinated promissory note (the “Executive Notes”). The Executive Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum, and will be paid in quarterly installments on July 1, 2026, October 1, 2026 with a final payment by December 31, 2026. All of the Company’s obligations and payments under the Executive Notes are subordinated to the Company’s obligations under the loan agreement with J.J. Astor & Co.

Operating Activities

Our largest source of operating cash is investments made by our shareholders. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are for employee-related expenditures, sales and marketing expenses, inventory purchases, and research & development activities. We generated negative cash flows from operations in the preceding two fiscal years. We have supplemented working capital through net proceeds from the sale of equity securities and bridge loans.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our 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 United States, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe 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. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

6358

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our ~~unaudited condensed~~ consolidated financial statements ~~for the three and nine months ended September 30~~, ~~2025,~~ we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations.

Accounting for SAFE Agreements

In accordance with FASB ASC 815 –40, ~~Contracts~~ Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, the Company determined the SAFE agreements are freestanding financial instruments and, accordingly, are classified as “liabilities” in the accompanying ~~condensed~~ consolidated balance sheets. The SAFE agreements are carried at estimated fair value determined by the Company using a probability weighted expected return method.

Accounting for Convertible Debt

The Company accounts for its convertible debt instruments in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and other applicable authoritative guidance. Management evaluates the terms of each instrument to determine the appropriate classification. The Company has concluded that its convertible debt instruments are properly classified as liabilities because they embody contractual obligations to repay principal and interest in cash and do not meet the criteria for equity classification. In addition, the instruments do not represent mandatorily redeemable equity shares or other freestanding equity instruments; rather, they represent debt arrangements with substantive repayment obligations. Accordingly, the instruments are recorded as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

In connection with the short-term borrowings, the Company paid loan initiation fees to the lender. These fees are accounted for as debt issuance costs and recorded as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. The net carrying amount of the debt, after giving effect to these issuance costs, is accreted to the contractual repayment amount over the term of the loan using the effective interest method, with the amortization recognized as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Accounting for Warrants and Embedded Derivatives

The Company’s convertible debt includes a conversion feature and an embedded call option. These features were evaluated to determine whether they require bifurcation from the host debt instrument. Management concluded that the features meet the definition of derivatives under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and therefore require separation from the host contract. The embedded call option permits the Company, upon a change in control, to call the instrument, representing an additional embedded derivative feature. In assessing the conversion feature, management determined that the number of shares issuable upon conversion is contingent upon stockholder approval to remove the 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation. Because this contingency represents an input that is not consistent with a fixed-for-fixed equity instrument under ASC 815-40-15-7, the conversion feature is not considered indexed to the Common Stock and does not qualify for equity classification. Accordingly, the embedded call option and conversion feature were combined and accounted for as a single embedded derivative liability measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

The warrants issued in connection with the short-term loan are accounted for as a separate derivative liability. The warrants are measured at fair value at each reporting date, and changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

Accounting for Business Combination

The transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Although ShoulderUp was the legal acquirer in the transaction, the Company was determined to be the accounting acquirer based on the evaluation of the relevant accounting guidance. Accordingly, the transaction was treated for accounting purposes as a reverse recapitalization of the Company. The historical financial statements of the Company became the historical financial statements of the combined entity, and the net assets of ShoulderUp were recorded at their historical carrying amounts. No goodwill or other intangible assets were recognized in connection with the transaction. The equity structure of the combined company was adjusted to reflect the shares issued in the transaction, and transaction costs were accounted for in accordance with applicable guidance.

Revenue Recognition

~~Revenue~~The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

Determination of the transaction price;

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.

64The estimates involved in revenue recognition pertain to determination of the stand-alone selling price. Management considered the data inputs for the stand-alone selling price and determined that the adjusted market assessment approach provided the best estimate of the stand-alone selling price and the total products and services to be delivered over the term of the contract. The estimates applied have been reasonable in the past and the likelihood of change in estimate to impact the stand-alone selling price is remote.

The Company entered into an exclusivity agreement on November 8, 2024, and a partner agreement on December 18, 2024, with a major reseller. The exclusivity agreement grants the reseller the exclusive right to sell the Company’s products for one year, with automatic renewal for up to four additional one-year periods if specified sales targets are achieved. The partner agreement provides a 5% purchasing incentive based on the reseller’s quarterly growth in total solution purchases and requires the Company to contribute at least 1% of revenue toward marketing activities, paid as a rebate. Management concluded that the exclusivity agreement, partner agreement, and future product purchase orders should be combined and accounted for as a single contract under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

In November 2024, the Company received a $2,000,000 payment from the reseller for a five-year exclusivity right, including four successive one year automatic renewal periods, granting the reseller exclusive rights to distribute the Company’s products to its customers. Since exclusivity does not represent a distinct performance obligation under ASC 606, the payment was recorded as deferred revenue. Revenue will be recognized over the contract term in proportion to the products and services delivered, based on estimated total sales over the five-year period. These estimates will be reviewed quarterly and adjusted based on the reseller’s actual performance. If the reseller fails to meet sales targets and the agreement is terminated, any remaining deferred revenue will be recognized at that time.

Under ASC 606, both the incentive and rebate represent variable consideration, as they depend on actual sales volume. Management will estimate expected sales and related rebates to determine the transaction price and recognize revenue accordingly. The purchasing incentive and marketing rebate are not separate performance obligations, and variable consideration related to these incentives will be included in revenue only when it is probable that no significant reversal will occur once uncertainties are resolved. The Company will accrue the incentive amount at the end of each quarter when sales revenue is finalized.

Internal-Use Software Development

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350 40, Intangibles Goodwill and Other Internal Use Software, we capitalize software development costs incurred on new applications or enhancements to applications during the application development phase of software for internal use to provide services to customers. These capitalized costs include certain payroll and payroll related costs for employees and costs for outside consultants who are directly associated with and who devote time to internal use software projects. Costs incurred prior to the application development phase and after the market release are expensed as incurred.

Internal use software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life from the date the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. The estimated useful life will be determined based on management’s judgment on how long the core technology and functionality serves internal needs and the customer base. Once projects are substantially complete, management will evaluate the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and will test for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. These costs are not yet amortized as our SaaS solution has not been deployed.

Management considers use of estimates in determining the appropriate allocation of personnel costs (including fringe benefits and stock compensation) and software development consultants’ costs to software capitalization. Such costs were analyzed for reasonableness and the current basis (evaluation of project plans and stage) is determined to be the best estimate of the costs capitalized during the period. The estimates applied have been reasonable in the past and the likelihood of change in estimate to impact the software cost capitalized is remote.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

We describe the recently issued accounting pronouncements that apply in Note 2 of the ~~unaudited condensed~~ consolidated financial statements as of and for the ~~three~~year ~~and nine months~~ ended ~~September~~December 3031, 2025.

Emerging Growth Company Status

Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) ) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when an accounting standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised accounting standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

OUR BUSINESS

Industry Background

Digital transformation is imperative for companies to compete in the current commercial environment. Those companies that successfully transform their businesses through modern applications, digital workflows, and intuitive user experiences often benefit from loyal customers, innovative offerings, and scalable business models that drive greater profitability and dominate competition. The proliferation of smart devices, growth in cloud applications, increasingly disparate user bases, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and heightened customer expectations are together driving digital adoption. This transformation has already happened across many large industries. In the retail, advertising, media, and information technology industries, for example, innovative, digital-first entrants have disrupted older business models, fundamentally changing the way they operate. Many industries that depend on physical operations, however, have been slower to adopt digital transformation. Despite their size and critical position in the worldwide economy, many companies in industries that depend on physical operations, such as logistics, manufacturing, construction, mining, health care and others still largely rely on manual processes, siloed data, spreadsheets, and legacy software. These industries represent a massive, underpenetrated market for digital transformation.

The State of Operations Today

Many operations-intensive businesses rely on high-value assets and equipment, deploy large field workforces that need coordination, manage complex logistics that require precision, and navigate industry-specific workflows that call for specialized knowledge. These businesses prioritize safety, efficiency and sustainability, while needing to adhere to a myriad of regulatory requirements. Businesses that depend on physical operations are in a unique position to leverage connected IoT assets to generate real-time operational data and deploy AI to drive insights, pursue automation, and improve efficiency in their business processes. For operations-intensive businesses to stay competitive and agile, there is an imperative to adopt digital technologies, and a significant business risk from complacency. Yet the industrial market has been slow to adopt IoT technology or AI advances in their operations.

Challenges with Operations include:

● Lack of Data Access and Siloed Systems. Many assets used for physical operations, such as vehicle fleets, machinery, factories, and remote equipment generate enormous amounts of operational data which often cannot be accessed. Even when the data can be accessed, it resides in multiple siloed systems made up of software and hardware components from various vendors. Lack of data access and siloed systems make it difficult to unify data in the cloud and develop actionable business insights.

● Breadth and Diversity of Data. The breadth and diversity of data collected from physical operations limits the ability for users to consolidate different data types and make better operational decisions. This data, which can be both structured and unstructured, can be challenging to cleanse and normalize before analysis.

● Reliance on Legacy Tools. Many operations-intensive businesses run on legacy software designed to manage and monitor individual tasks. Others still rely on spreadsheets and paper. These legacy tools were built decades ago and are not designed for scalable analytics.

● Limited In-House Innovation. Businesses with physical operations typically have limited engineering personnel, IT resources, and funds dedicated to identifying causes of inefficiency and opportunities to avoid future safety, security or sustainability issues. These businesses have traditionally relied on third-party vendors to seek ways to improve their business processes.

● Compliance Burden. Businesses with extensive physical operations are subject to an increasingly complex patchwork of regulations that cover the range of their physical operations footprint, from environmental conditions to workplace safety and employee monitoring. Compliance with these regulations can be complicated, costly, and time-consuming.

● Rugged Environments and Uses. Industrial processes often operate in rugged environments, including both indoor and outdoor settings. Many IoT implementations are made first for consumers and office spaces, where devices do not need to meet these standards. The environment and rough handling of the industrial market makes adoption harder.

Use of IoT in Connected Operations

Technological advances have made it possible for companies to visualize their operations digitally in the cloud in real time. These advances include:

● Proliferation of Connected Physical Assets. According to data from IDC, the number of connected IoT assets, such as machinery, vehicles, warehouses, and factories, is expected to significantly increase, from approximately 33 billion in 2021 to 39 billion by 2024.

● Advances in Cloud-Based Big Data. The cloud has significantly lowered computing and storage costs, which has enabled massive amounts of data to be processed and analyzed efficiently. With these advances, more businesses are transitioning to the cloud, which simplifies data extraction and data integration.

● Faster and Cheaper Wireless Capabilities. The proliferation of Bluetooth Low Energy and advances in cellular technology have increased the bandwidth and lowered the cost of wireless connectivity. These improvements enable more IoT devices to cost-effectively connect to the cloud, making it feasible to stream real-time data and high-definition video. The 5G rollout in the U.S. and around the world will continue to further these advancements.

● Improvements in Camera and Sensor Technology. Cameras and other sensor technology have experienced rapid innovation, with improvements in capture quality at lower cost. Cameras and other sensors have become smaller, more affordable, more energy-efficient, and more sensitive, resulting in their widespread proliferation.

● More Powerful Artificial Intelligence. AI algorithms are becoming increasingly accurate and flexible, while AI processing capabilities at the edge and in the cloud are growing. The resulting AI capabilities make it possible to analyze quantities of operations and IoT data too voluminous for ordinary human analysis or legacy software, and to distill it down in real-time.

Our Company

CID Holdco, Inc., a Nevada corporation, helps businesses digitally transform their operations using IoT and AI technology. With significant innovations in RF networking, use of vision system overlays and a cloud-based AI engine, the company offers a differentiated asset tracking and workflow management solution for operations intensive enterprises.

●

Vehicle inspection - Inspecting a vehicle as it is approaching to know when a high value asset is on board before it leaves a secure area allows operators to respond, halt the vehicle, and investigate. Customer security will know what is leaving and whether it is scheduled to leave. This capability can be used at gates, docks or storage locations to automatically grant access and record movements for accountability.

●

Inventory tracking - CID Holdco provides a unique capability to dynamically sweep item inventory with roving, inexpensive readers powered by batteries. Due to their low cost and wireless capability, these readers can be deployed on pallets, fork trucks, shelves or even people to provide coverage of the location of interest. As a result of this capability, CID Holdco technology is disruptive to legacy logistics systems which are either inadequate to gather this level of detail or much more expensive and inflexible to deploy.

●

Tracking items and/or personnel - Using RF tags or access cards, CID Holdco systems automatically process inbound and outbound personnel or items while AI-enabled cameras verify the asset is the one expected. This real-time, two-layer authentication streamlines customers’ access control process, allowing them to track assets in real time and identify anything that is not authorized. This capability can be especially valuable when providing edge intelligence to automation or robotics systems; and

●

Vehicle collision avoidance - CID Holdco not only provides a system that can track autonomous or piloted vehicles generally but if desired can overlay a precise tracking implementation that enables collision detection and avoidance. With attachment to a governor on the vehicle, the system can slow or stop the vehicle to prevent collision with another asset or person in real-time.

Using the CID Holdco rules engine, customers can set conditions for automatic alerts or actions to be taken related to specified parameters set by users in their application. Using the system also allows the organization to begin collecting valuable data, which can be analyzed to glean insights for better decision making across any organization or fed into an advanced AI implementation. To the extent customers are comfortable enabling it, CID Holdco provides the capability to enable machine learning and AI intervention in complex processes to enhance safety, assurance and efficiency.

As a result of the unique process visibility provided by their innovations, CID Holdco is often implemented as an edge system producing rich data streams for other supervisory systems of record. Powerful commercial partnerships are intended to be formed with large ERP, MES or WMS system players in the targeted vertical markets.

In short, CID Holdco brings a next generation capability to know when, where and why assets move in the enterprise, providing an opportunity to apply AI to complex edge processes.

Our business is also subject to existing laws and regulations that govern data privacy, security, and industry-~~Time Location~~specific compliance requirements, which may increase operating costs, limit how our solutions ~~Systems~~are ~~(“RTLS”)~~delivered, or require ongoing modifications to our platform. Failure to comply with current or future governmental regulations could adversely affect our operations, reputation, and financial results.

RTLS tags are made up of a small antenna, motion sensors, RTLS microprocessor, and a battery. Most batteries on RTLS tags can last for months (continuous movement) or many years (occasional movement) before needing to be recharged or replaced. The tags transmit a few times in a second or once every few seconds or minutes, depending on how often customers need to refresh the location data for their application.

Customers can utilize UWB or BLE indoors; LORA, GPS and 4G/5G outdoors. Using combinations of these technologies CID Holdco can bridge the gap between inside and outside to give customers a comprehensive tracking solution for their yard, cross dock, airport, sea port, warehouse or distribution center — anywhere they need to track people, assets or vehicles — whether indoors or outside. CID Holdco employs tags and readers from many other vendors as part of their system when appropriate for the application.

A unique aspect of CID Holdco is that they provide passive (battery free) transponders at BLE frequencies, in fact they are the only company offering an industrial passive BLE transponder. Using this capability, CID Holdco can deploy systems that combine inexpensive passive tags on general items with more expensive battery powered tags on items of greater interest to create a cost-effective tracking system.

It is also uncommon for tracking companies to use RF and Vision systems in combination. With the advent of inexpensive AI cameras, it has become cost effective for CID Holdco to pair these vision systems with their RF tracking systems to provide comprehensive coverage.

Tracking Services

CID Holdco provides personnel tracking enabled with passive or wireless rechargeable ID badges or belt clips, allowing data-driven efficiency and safety. Both indoor and outdoor tracking capabilities are supported by CID Holdco innovative technology.

Personnel and vehicles can often be tracked with vision systems as well. In many instances, tracking through key POI (Points of Interest) with RF and vision is essential to provide enhanced safety or assurance for the organization.

In addition, CID Holdco utilizes vehicle telematics systems where appropriate to track vehicles over wide areas.

Sensors (temperature, motion, pressure etc.) are also often deployed as part of the system to track key process parameters and can be inputs into the rules engine.

Solutions

For customers that need to know when, where and why assets and personnel are moving, and to have assurance that orders are progressing, CID Holdco provides a variety of solutions, including the following:

Inventory Management and Control

Warehouses and cross docks are a primary use case for the tracking and process control features of the CID Holdco system. Real-time Inventory, Picking, Packing and Putting are all applications supported by the system and to which CID Holdco provides disruptive, next generation capability.

Manufacturing

Any operation where material, manpower and machines are working in concert is a primary area where CID Holdco offers comprehensive solutions. Tracking inventory levels in supermarkets, picking areas or assembly sites are typical applications. Solutions for transportation and fulfillment between work cells, managing RTIs and providing data for automated material systems and robotics are also offered. The CID Holdco solution extends across campus manufacturing and can tie tracking between multiple buildings, outdoor storage areas and work cells together.

Mining and Construction

The dynamic nature of these sites makes them particularly good areas for CID Holdco battery powered and long-range wireless solutions. Solutions include machine and material inventory tracking, personnel tracking, guided spotting and collision avoidance. Vision systems are often combined with tracking at these sites to manage contractors and access control.

Military Operations and Logistics

Supporting primarily material flow and security applications, CID Holdco provides the military with an easy to deploy, dynamic and secure means of tracking material and important workflows. Inventory applications include munitions, materials, consumable supplies and many classes of assets and equipment. Visitor and contractor check-in, base-wide tracking as well as selected personnel applications in the battlefield are also of interest. Vehicles, safety equipment and tool tracking are also important applications.

Airport and Aviation Ground Support Management

CID Holdco solutions allow customers to create a connected network of vehicles, ground support equipment (“GSE”) and personnel with more control over the coordination of airport services.

Many customers have large, outdoor areas where asset tracking in open space is very helpful. Traditional infrastructure is often too dense and expensive to install in this use case, but the CID Holdco outdoor tracking solution meshes seamlessly with its indoor tracking solutions to provide a comprehensive solution that compliments customers’ existing systems. This helps avoid common problems, including lost or stolen assets, delays in locating GSE and inefficient use of resources.

The CID Holdco solution is designed to improve efficiency and optimize workflows by providing real-time tracking and control over all the resources at terminals and in cargo areas. With automated asset tracking solutions for aviation, customers can track employees enterprise-wide (indoors and outdoors), maximize the utilization of GSE assets, and track line maintenance teams, parts, tools and kits to maximize productivity.

Forklift Collision Warning

The forklift collision avoidance solution is simple, promotes compliance and is flexible with the needs of customers. The solution involves minimal infrastructure investment and can be connected through the CAN bus port, allows customers to improve their regulatory compliance by having control over forklift movements for collision warning, and can be bundled with a forklift tracking system for a more comprehensive indoor location solution.

Medical Logistics

The RTLS healthcare system includes a comprehensive digital pattern of human and asset movement and their use and interaction, so that customers get actionable insights to improve patient experience and outcome while optimizing internal logistics.

CID Holdco provides a comprehensive solution that compliments customers’ existing systems. Customers can track staff and patients enterprise-wide, and maximize the utilization of medical equipment and supplies in hospitals, austere medical environments or medical and emergency vehicles. The solution improves efficiency and optimizes workflows by providing real-time tracking and control. This helps avoid common problems including lost or stolen assets, delays in locating critical medical supplies and inefficient use of resources. Not only do CID Holdco solutions allow for the tracking of medical and emergency vehicles, they also provide item-level tracking within vehicles, trailers or any kind of storage or transportation container.

Yard Management

Yard management RTLS systems enable improved material handling processes, security, safety, and turnaround times. By providing a bridge between what’s happening inside the facility and transportation, yard management systems (“YMS”) create valuable opportunities for businesses to improve their yard processes and profitability.

YMS are a combination of software and hardware working together to oversee the movement of trucks and trailers within manufacturing, distribution, warehousing and delivery facilities. The primary goal of yard management is to make business operations more efficient. Yard management systems help improve efficiency, safety, and ease of inventory loading/unloading, transportation management, and warehouse management. YMS provides real-time location information of trailers in the yard so employees can stage trailers to docks and fulfill orders efficiently.

Artificial Intelligence

Our solution operates as an edge execution and intelligence module, almost always integrated with an enterprise software (ERP, MES, WMS, etc.) system of record. Traditionally these enterprise software packages have relied on training personnel to execute orders and workflows, with little or no tracking of the interim steps between significant process milestones.

We track and direct actions with much more detail than historical systems, due largely to our advanced IoT data collection capabilities. This additional data not only fills in gaps in the enterprise workflow records to create a more complete digital thread of the process, it provides a rich data source for enhancing enterprise execution through the use of AI. There are three primary ways that AI technology is applied in our solution:

1). We use AI Cameras as one of our means of data collection. This means that one or more cameras may be installed in the enterprise to monitor designated areas of interest. We capture the data streams from these cameras and use AI algorithms to recognize various objects moving in frame. Algorithms used are currently simple object recognition, i.e. we determine the object is a box, a person, a forklift, etc. Where a trackable tag has been applied to the object (RFID, Barcode, etc.), we correlate the image seen with the trackable information recorded and use probability filters to overlay the trackable information with the observed object. This enables enhanced intelligent tracking of assets using the overlay of digital image capture and the tracking information (identification number of the asset, parameter fields, location information and date and time stamps generated during associated movements) stored in our database. We anticipate that our AI Camera module will likely be enhanced in the future to include more advanced object recognition, such as long-range symbology (barcode) reading, facial recognition for personnel and greater learning capabilities to distinguish between various packages, tools or equipment in a given enterprise.

2). We use a Rules Engine to allow our administrative users to set rules that should not be violated in their particular application. Examples of typical rules may include constraints such as not loading through a certain dock door after 4:00 pm, always having two bins worth of material in every pick station, restricting aisle access to one machine at a time, etc. Our Rules Engine uses real-time tracking information as input to monitor and enforce the rules set by the user. Alarms can be set to inform supervisors to intervene and I/O devices can be triggered to prevent violation of the rules. The data set for this AI action includes the digital image capture and the tracking information (identification number of the asset, parameter fields, location information and date and time stamps generated during associated movements) stored in our database.

3). We use AI to implement Enhanced Workflows. Our software supports common material handling workflows including Pick, Put, Pack, Inventory and Inspect. In performing these tasks, operators in the future can be assisted by intelligent algorithms that work in the background to provide context, meaning and analysis of the data supporting the action they are being asked to do. For example, a picker can have his jobs prioritized in real-time to meet timelines the AI system calculates are required for upstream operators, an inspector can have suspected batches flagged based on a combination of parameters observed by the system or a forklift operator can be directed to put material in a bay that is optimized for quickest access for a future action. This enhanced function can be displayed as suggestions for the operator to consider or enabled to act directly on the order being executed to direct the operator. The AI engine has a learning element that allows it to assist more effectively over time as it learns the workflows of the particular enterprise.

The data sets used to enhance workflows include the same digital image capture and tracking information (identification number of the asset, parameter fields, location information and date and time stamps generated during associated movements) stored in our database as our other AI implementations. However this feature also depends on a meta-data object we call a Recipe. The Recipe encodes the concept that any action in tracking, transforming or transporting an asset requires specified conditions, time and resources to be accomplished. In the future, the AI algorithms will attempt to optimize all aspects of the recipe to most effectively achieve the outcome required by the enterprise management system.

In connection with developing and implementing our AI algorithms, we use the following third-party toolkits:

AWS Services:

— AWS KVS: Used for video streaming, not inherently AI, but can be integrated with AI for video analysis in the future.

Libraries:

— YOLOv8 & YOLOv10: These are object detection models specifically used for AI purposes, particularly computer vision.

— open-cv: An open-source library used for computer vision tasks, commonly used in AI applications.

— deepsort: Used for tracking objects, often paired with AI models like YOLO for real-time AI-based tracking.

— pytorch: A deep learning library, essential for AI and machine learning model development.

— numpy: A fundamental library for numerical computations, frequently used in AI tasks for handling data arrays.

AI Tools & Data:

— Stable Diffusion: An AI model for generating images.

— Midjourney: An AI tool for generating images from text prompts.

— Adobe Firefly: AI-powered creative tools for image and video editing.

— Roboflow: A platform that assists in building computer vision models, supporting AI workflows.

Tools:

— labelImg: Used for labeling images, an important step in AI model training, especially for computer vision.

Competitive Factors

The principal competitive factors in the markets in which we operate include:

●

AI Implementation — while this is an emerging area, we are investing heavily in this battleground feature. We believe that soon the most important aspect of the buying decision will be the extent to which AI has been implemented to simplify the complex logistics processes and intervene when needed to enable greater enterprise performance.

●

TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) — Our systems are intended to run for decades in an enterprise, with costs over that time playing a key role in the buying decision. The ability for the customer to extend the system easily, not be subject to custom programming charges, avoid proprietary devices and keep pace with data structure and security changes is an important competitive advantage.

●

ROI (Return on Investment) — Our value to the enterprise vs the benefit is part of every buy decision. This includes the total cost of ownership over time and the installation costs borne by the customer during adoption of the system. The impact we have on key workflows (inventory, order processing, picking, packing, putting etc) is measurable and significant. Our unique ability to use low-cost passive transponders (less than a tenth of the cost of the active transponders used by almost every other competitor) is a key factor in our success. The long-range nature of our radio network (up to 15 miles) also impacts this equation by lowering the infrastructure required for operation.

●

Accuracy and Reliability — many competitors advertise pinpoint location accuracy to win customers. However, most processes do not need location accuracy better than a couple of meters to direct and execute their operations. What is more important for the enterprise, is the reliability of the identification of the asset. Since our patented mesh system can normally identify the presence of an asset at two sigma (95%) for very minimal cost or three sigma (99.7%) at a somewhat higher cost, we are in an enviable market leadership position relative to customer need.

●

Support Services — The processes that we impact are critical to the functioning of an enterprise. To commit to this new technology, users need to know they will have support when things inevitably go wrong. Use of an extensive channel partner network means they will have a trusted local partner to assist them, with a powerful technology vendor behind them. Backing the channel with high-availability support lines and customer service is essential.

●

Friendly country sourcing — So many competitors rely on Chinese or Taiwan sourcing, excluding them from consideration for USA Government or Military contracts and making them less desirable for private sector selection. Sourcing from DFAR compliant countries and making our core components in the USA positions us particularly well for the crucial US market.

Based on these factors, we believe we are positioned favorably against our competitors. However, some of our competitors have substantially greater financial resources, greater brand recognition, larger sales forces and marketing budgets, as well as broader distribution networks. Large corporations may be able to utilize their distribution networks and existing relationships to offer new solutions in addition to solutions already being provided to customers. We expect additional competition as our market grows and rapidly changes, and we may choose to enter or expand into new markets as well.

Growth Strategies

We intend to pursue the following growth strategies:

Focused Customer Acquisition: With a rapidly digitizing market, we believe that there is a significant opportunity to continue to grow our customer base as we promote our capabilities. We plan to continually invest in our sales and marketing coverage, including channel partners, and leverage our go-to-market model to continue acquiring new customers.

Expand Within Our Existing Customer Base. Once we solve the first problem for our customers, we see a significant opportunity to expand application adoption within that same account. This includes increasing the number of physical assets enrolled as well as expanding across our customers’ multiple sites and divisions.

Customer-centric Innovation and Rapid Product Releases. Our architecture was designed as a platform from the beginning to enable fast turns and parallel development. This means we can move at a faster cadence than anyone else in bringing enhanced products to market and in enhancing our products as customer needs emerge. Our goal is to continue to add market-driven capabilities and product features on at least a quarterly basis.

Channel development. Our vision is to be a channel focused company. Rapid acquisition of targeted channel partners in all of the global markets will be a primary metric. Our unique technology, very attractive commercial model, as well as the training and support capability we offer will drive channel acquisition.

Expand Technology Partnerships and Integrations. Our use of COTS devices and integration with existing software for many of our solutions makes us useful collaborators in our markets. We leverage the combined expertise of multiple partners, each looking at specific technical and commercial areas to ensure we are at the forefront. This solutions stance also enables commercial growth, as we are referenced into accounts and opportunities by our partners. Our backend software integrations are especially important here. Continued growth in integrations will strengthen our ecosystem, further increasing the opportunity to attract customers that prioritize interoperability with their existing applications. We also believe that additional partnerships will further enhance our distribution capabilities.

Expand Internationally. A key focus of our company is to continue to expand our global reach. In the short term we are already expanding channel in Europe and expect to form a sales company in Southern Germany or Northern Switzerland next year. To support our offshore engineering team, add customer support capability and some sales opportunities already emerging in the region, we also plan to form an Indian subsidiary in ~~2025~~2026. Note that our product platforms were designed from the outset to meet international standards and regulations.

Monetizing data streams. As a data producer, the ~~company~~Company has access to valuable data that is of interest to industry analysts, financial markets, insurance providers, Equipment OEMs, regulatory bodies and many other stakeholders. Current EULAs and contracts allow the ~~company~~ Company to use non-PII data for any purpose, including for sale. This emerging opportunity to monetize the data streams can be significant in the future.

Acquisitions. Note that it is likely that we will also look to accelerate growth by acquisition. Potential targets are being evaluated based on the extent to which they can help us in one or more of the strategies’ above.

Risk Factors Summary

Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section titled “Risk Factors”. These risks include the following:

● We have a history of operating losses as we have built our technology and market position, and we may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability on a consistent basis for an extended period of time.

● Our rapid growth makes it difficult to evaluate future prospects and increases the risk that we will not continue to grow at or near projected rates. Forecasts may be unreliable.

● While this has not happened in our history to date, our emerging technology may encounter failures, up to and including broad recalls, as we continue to product maturity and beyond. With this comes the threat of financial penalties and legal action from customers.

● Regulatory uncertainty, particularly in the AI space, makes it difficult to anticipate potential impacts on the business of the company.

● The IoT and AI spaces already have a history of IP challenges and litigation. Our patents may be challenged, and suits may be brought against us, especially as we gain momentum and public success. This may result in unexpected legal costs, settlements, license fees and barriers to growth.

Material Supply Agreements

We have agreements in place with Wiliot, the company which provides our chip and passive labels for tracking and ~~ARSHON~~Arshon Technology Inc. (“Arshon”), the company which helped create our initial PCB board. However, the remaining individual components are purchased using purchase orders and are not yet subject to supplier agreements. Following our initial production runs, we plan to implement a dual source policy for our components ~~wherever~~ wherever possible so we’re not reliant on one provider. For example, we are ordering PCB boards from both AET and ~~ARSHON~~Arshon. We~~’re ordering~~ order chips from Wiliot and from Identiv. Identiv is recognized as one of the world’s largest producers of specialty RFID tags, ~~inlays~~ inlays and labels. In fact, Identiv is the main supplier for Wiliot.

The agreement (the “Arshon Agreement”) between CID Holdco, Inc. (Client) and Arshon ~~Technology~~ (Contractor) outlines several material terms, including the rights ~~and~~ and obligations of both parties, as well as termination and payment provisions. ~~The~~Arshon ~~Contractor~~ is responsible for providing services such as designing and developing Perth PCBs, including schematics, prototypes, production boards, and test jigs. Deliverables include Gerber files, BOM, schematics, and PCBs. These services are to be performed independently, with ~~the~~Arshon ~~Contractor~~ taking responsibility for reporting compensation as income and complying with all applicable laws. ~~The~~We ~~Client~~are is obligated to provide payments as outlined in the Statement of Work (SOW) and reimburse pre-approved travel and related expenses. Intellectual property rights for all deliverables created during the performance of services are assigned to the ~~Client~~Company, and ~~the~~Arshon ~~Contractor~~ is required to maintain confidentiality of all ~~Client-provided~~ information we provide, ~~returning~~and orto ~~destroying~~return or destroy such information upon termination of the ~~agreement~~Arshon Agreement.

79The Arshon Agreement may be terminated for breach if the defaulting party does not remedy the breach within 10 days of notice. Additionally, it can be terminated immediately in cases involving fraud, misconduct, tax violations, or bankruptcy. Either party may also terminate the agreement for convenience with at least 10 days’ written notice, and the agreement automatically terminates if the Deel platform terms are terminated or if either party loses access to Deel.

Intellectual Property

Intellectual property rights are important to the success of our business. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws in the United States and other jurisdictions, as well as license agreements, confidentiality procedures, non-disclosure agreements with third parties, and other contractual protections, to protect our intellectual property rights, including our proprietary technology, software, know-how and brand.

Although we rely on intellectual property rights, including patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets, as well as contractual protections to establish and protect our proprietary rights, we believe that factors such as the technological and creative skills of our personnel, creation of new services, features and functionality, and frequent enhancements to our offerings are equally important to establishing and maintaining our technology position.

80We generally require our employees, consultants and other third parties to enter into confidentiality and proprietary rights agreements and we control and monitor access to our software, documentation, proprietary technology and other confidential information. Our policy is to require all employees and independent contractors to sign agreements assigning to us any inventions, trade secrets, works of authorship, developments, processes and other intellectual property generated by them on our behalf and under which they agree to protect our confidential information. In addition, we generally enter into confidentiality agreements with our customers and partners. See the section titled “Risk Factors — Intellectual Property” for a discussion of risks related to our intellectual property.

Regulatory Environment

We are subject to a wide variety of laws and regulations in the United States and other jurisdictions and devote considerable resources to compliance with these laws and regulations.

We are subject to laws and regulations governing issues such as privacy, data security, telecommunications, the use of biometric data, labor and employment, anti-discrimination, whistleblowing and worker confidentiality obligations, product liability, consumer protection and warnings, marketing, taxation, competition, arbitration agreements and class action waiver provisions, and terms of service, among other issues. We could become subject to additional legal or regulatory requirements if laws, regulations, or guidance change in the jurisdictions in which we operate. This could include the need to obtain new and different types of licenses or certifications to offer certain products or functionalities. Overall, we are committed to complying with, and helping our customers comply with, applicable regulations and requirements, and we will continue to devote significant internal resources to these efforts.

See the section titled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Government Regulation” for additional information about the laws and regulations to which we are subject and the risks to our business associated with such laws and regulations.

Data Protection and Privacy Program

We are dedicated to protecting and securing the data of our customers as part of our overall data protection and privacy program. In addition to the privacy and security measures that we incorporate into the design, engineering, and testing processes for our solution, we have company-wide policies that describe how we collect, use, protect and disclose data. We provide ongoing training to our employees to appropriately handle and secure data. We are also able to assist our customers in demonstrating their compliance with applicable data protection and privacy regulations through the use of template accountability documentation (e.g., data protection impact assessments and supporting policies), which can be configured and tailored by customers to address their particular use cases and organizational requirements. We offer EU Model Clauses, also known as Standard Contractual Clauses, for the purpose of helping enable our customers’ continued compliance with the changing regulatory landscape in connection with transferring personal data subject to the GDPR to third countries that have not been found to provide adequate protection to such personal data, including the United States, highlighting a commitment to protect personal information in accordance with a set of privacy principles that offer meaningful privacy protections and recourse for EU individuals. We also maintain a self-certification under EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield. We hold our service providers and sub processors to the same high data-protection and privacy standards to which we hold ourselves, including through contractual commitments and periodic reviews and audits.

Material Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in litigation or other legal proceedings. Other than as described below, we are not currently a party to any litigation or legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

The Company has been made aware of a complaint (the “Complaint”) filed by William Reny (“Plaintiff”), a greater than ~~ten~~ five percent (105%) holder of the ~~Company’s~~ outstanding ~~common~~Common ~~stock,~~Stock ~~par value $0.0001 per share,~~ against SEE ID, Charles Maddox and Ed Nabrotzky, each a director of SEE ID, and Does 1-20 (collectively with SEE ID, Mr. Maddox and Mr. Nabrotzky, the “Defendants”), in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada.

The Complaint alleges, among other things, (a) breach of Plaintiff’s employment agreement, and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing in respect thereof, by SEE ID by (i) terminating Mr. Reny’s employment for “cause,” (ii) not paying Plaintiff certain compensation and benefits, (iii) not permitting Plaintiff to transfer shares to a third party, and (iv) otherwise harming Plaintiff; (b) tortious interference with a contract, tortious interference with prospective economic advantage and conspiracy/concert of action by Messrs. Maddox and Nabrotzky with respect to a contract Plaintiff had with a third party to purchase a home by not permitting Mr. Reny to transfer shares to a third party; (c) conversion, failure to produce business records under NRS chapter 78 or unjust enrichment by one or more of the Defendants.

Business Combination

On June 18, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the transactions contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated March 18, 2024 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among the Company, ShoulderUp Technology Acquisition Corp, a Delaware corporation (“SUAC”), ShoulderUp Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ShoulderUp Merger Sub”), SEI Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“SEI Merger Sub”) and SEE ID, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“SEE ID”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the Closing Date, (i) ShoulderUp Merger Sub merged with and into SUAC (the “ShoulderUp Merger”), with SUAC surviving the ShoulderUp Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; and (ii) simultaneously with the ShoulderUp Merger, SEI Merger Sub merged with and into SEE ID ( the “SEE ID Merger”), with SEE ID surviving the SEE ID Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the ShoulderUp Merger and the SEE ID Merger, together the “Mergers” and together with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”).

On the Closing Date, we consummated the PIPE Financing (as defined below). Pursuant to certain subscription agreement entered into between June 10, 2025 and June 17, 2025 (the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”) by us with certain unaffiliated third-party investors (each, a “PIPE Investor” and collectively, the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE Investors, and the PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase an aggregate of 3,323,536 PIPE Shares at a purchase price of $4.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $13,294,143, in a private placement (the private placement contemplated by the PIPE Subscriptions Agreements, the “PIPE Financing”). Of the total PIPE Investment, $2,456,500 represents the conversion of bridge loan principal and accrued interest, such that the Company received an additional $10,837,643 from the PIPE Investors at the closing of the PIPE Financing. The PIPE Financing closed substantially concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”).

Prior to and in connection with the special meeting to approve the Business Combination, holders of 2,000 shares of SUAC’s Class A Common Stock sold in its initial public offering exercised their right to redeem those shares for cash at a price of approximately $11.00 per share, for an aggregate of approximately $22,000. The per share redemption price of approximately $11.00 for public shareholders electing redemption was paid out of SUAC’s trust account, which after taking into account the redemptions, had a balance immediately prior to the Closing of approximately $5,577,304.

New Circle Equity Line of Credit

At the Closing, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “ELOC Agreement”) with New Circle Principal Investments LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“New Circle”), pursuant to which New Circle has committed to purchase, subject to certain limitations, up to $50 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock. In connection with the ELOC Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with New Circle and previously filed a separate resale registration statement covering up to 5,524,624 shares issuable under the ELOC Agreement.

We may, at our option, direct New Circle to purchase shares from time to time, and we are under no obligation to sell any securities under the ELOC Agreement. Issuances under the ELOC Agreement remain subject to Nasdaq limitations, including a 19.99% cap absent stockholder approval or a minimum price exception, and a 4.99% beneficial ownership cap (which New Circle may elect to increase to 9.99% on 61 days’ notice). New Circle has agreed not to engage in short sales or establish a net short position in our Common Stock during the term of the ELOC Agreement.

Any future use of the ELOC Agreement will depend on market conditions, our trading price and volume, and our liquidity needs, and could be dilutive to existing stockholders and place downward pressure on our stock price. Only 5,524,624 shares are currently registered for resale; we may need to register additional shares to access the full $50 million capacity. The ELOC Agreement automatically terminates upon the earlier of July 18, 2028 or aggregate purchases of $50 million, and may be terminated earlier by us in accordance with its terms. We currently expect that any proceeds from sales under the ELOC Agreement will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including the repayment of debt.

On October 13, December 30, and December 31, 2025, the Company delivered purchase notices for 30,000, 500,000, and 1,000,000 shares at settlement prices of $2.62, $0.32, and $0.32 per share, respectively, resulting in gross cash proceeds in 2025 of $78,516, $159,500, and $317,000, respectively. The Company issued 30,000 shares in October 2025 and 1,000,000 shares in December 2025, with the remaining 500,000 shares settled and administratively issued in early January 2026. Because the shares were issued to New Circle at prices determined using a discounted VWAP formula, the cash proceeds received were below the fair value of the shares on the respective issuance dates. The Company measured the shares at their fair value on the date cash was received and recognized the difference between (i) the fair value of the shares issued and (ii) the proceeds calculated pursuant to the discounted VWAP pricing terms. This difference, totaling $246,184, was recorded as a loss on issuance of shares in the statement of operations.

Recent Developments

Senior Secured Convertible Loan Agreement

In connection with the Loan Agreement, we issued to the Lender a warrant to purchase up to 230,770 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.69 per share, subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, splits, combinations, reclassifications, and similar events (the “Initial Lender Warrant”). Additional warrants will be issued in connection with any Additional Loans as a condition to funding (the “Additional Lender Warrants” and together with the Initial Lender Warrant, the “Lender Warrants”). The Lender Warrants may not be exercised to the extent the exercise would cause the Lender and its affiliates to beneficially own more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock, subject to the Lender’s written notice and the Company’s agreement to increase such cap up to 9.99%. The conversion of any Lender Notes and the exercise of the Lender Warrants are subject to applicable Nasdaq rules. We also entered into a registration rights agreement requiring us to file a resale shelf registration statement covering up to 100% of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Initial Note and any Additional Notes. Any Lender Note is convertible, in whole or in part, only after an Event of Default and the effectiveness of such resale registration statement, at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average of the four lowest volume-weighted average prices of our Common Stock on its principal market over the 20 trading days immediately prior to the Lender’s notice of conversion, and any conversion is also subject to the 4.99% beneficial ownership cap.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the “JOBS Act.” As such, we will take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies for as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, including (i) the exemption from the auditor attestation requirements with respect to internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), (ii) the exemptions from say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and say-on-golden parachute voting requirements and (iii) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. As a result, our stockholders may not have access to certain information they deem important. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following November 23, 2026, the fifth anniversary of the closing of SUAC’s IPO, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion or (c) in which the Company is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Common Stock that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our prior second fiscal quarter and we have been subject to the Exchange Act’s reporting requirements for at least 12 months and have filed at least one annual report, and (ii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships between any of our executive officers and directors.

Board Composition

Our business and affairs are organized under the direction of our ~~board of directors~~Board. Our ~~board~~Board ~~of directors~~ currently consists of seven members. The primary responsibilities of our ~~board of directors~~ Board are to provide oversight, strategic guidance, counseling and direction to our management. Our ~~board~~Board ~~of directors~~ meets on a regular basis and additionally as required.

84Our Board is divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III, with members of each class serving staggered three-year terms. Currently, our Board is divided into the following classes:

~~Our board~~● ~~of directors is divided into three classes,~~ Class I, ~~Class~~which IIconsists ~~and~~of ~~Class~~Phyllis ~~III~~Newhouse, ~~with~~whose ~~members~~terms ofwill ~~each~~expire ~~class~~at ~~serving~~the ~~staggered~~first ~~three-year terms.~~annual ~~Currently,~~meeting ~~our board~~ of ~~directors~~stockholders isto ~~divided~~be ~~into~~held ~~the~~in ~~following classes:~~2026;

● Class I, which consists of Dr. Sheldon Paul and Phyllis Newhouse, whose terms will expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2026;

●

Class II, which consists of Janice Bryant Howroyd and Walter Skowronski whose term will expire at the Company’s second annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2027; and

●

Class III, which consists of Edmund Nabrotzky, Dr. David Carlson and Jeff Saling, whose terms will expire at the Company’s third annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2028.

At each annual meeting of stockholders to be held after the initial classification, the successors to directors whose terms then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following their election and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. This classification of our ~~board~~Board ~~of directors~~ may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in our control or management.

Director Independence

We adhere to the rules of Nasdaq in determining whether a director is independent. The Board consults with its counsel to ensure that the Board’s determinations are consistent with those rules and all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the independence of directors. The Nasdaq listing standards generally define an “independent director” as a person that, in the opinion of the issuer’s board of directors, has no material relationship with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the ~~company~~Company). The Board has determined that each of the directors on the Board (other than Edmund Nabrotzky) are independent as defined under the listing standards of Nasdaq. Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

The Board oversees the risk management activities designed and implemented by our management. The Board does not anticipate having a standing risk management committee, but rather executes its oversight responsibility both directly and through its standing committees. The Board also considers specific risk topics, including risks associated with our strategic initiatives, business plans and capital structure. Our management, including our executive officers, are primarily responsible for managing the risks associated with operation and business of the ~~company~~Company and provide appropriate updates to the Board and the Audit Committee. The Board delegates to the Audit Committee oversight of its risk management process, and our other Board committees also consider risks as they perform their respective committee responsibilities. All board committees report to the Board as appropriate, including, but not limited to, when a matter rises to the level of a material or enterprise risk.

Board Committees

The Board has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Cybersecurity & Technology Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, each of which has the composition and responsibilities described below.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation limits the Company’s directors’ liability to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL. The DGCL allows for directors of a corporation to not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability:

●

for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit;

●

for any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

●

for any unlawful payment of dividends or redemption of shares; or

●

for any breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders.

If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of our directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended. The DGCL and our Bylaws provide that the Company will, in certain situations, indemnify the Company’s directors and officers and may indemnify other employees and other agents, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any indemnified person is also entitled, subject to certain limitations, to advancement, direct payment, or reimbursement of reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding.

We maintain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy pursuant to which our directors and officers are insured against liability for actions taken in their capacities as directors and officers. We believe these provisions in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and the indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

Code of Business Conduct and Business Ethics for Employees, Executive Officers, and Directors

The Company has adopted a Code of Conduct and Business Ethics applicable to its directors, executive officers and employees, including its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions that complies with the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq. The Code of Conduct and Business Ethics codifies the business and ethical principles that govern all aspects of the Company’s business. A copy of the Code of Conduct and Business Ethics has been filed with the SEC and is provided on our website, https://daic.ai/. The Company will disclose on its website all disclosures that are required by law or the Nasdaq listing standards concerning any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of its Code of Conduct and Business Ethics. The information on any of our websites is deemed not to be incorporated in this ~~prospectus~~Annual Report.

●

Annual Cash Fee: Each non-employee director receives an annual cash fee of $50,000, payable quarterly in arrears.

All option awards have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of our ~~common~~Common ~~stock~~Stock on the date of grant and are 100% vested on the date of grant, unless otherwise specified in the award agreement.

● Additional Chair Equity Award: In addition to the quarterly stock option awards, any director serving as the chair of a committee of the board of directors will receive an additional annual grant of stock options with a number of shares subject to the options determined by dividing $25,000 by the closing price of our ~~common~~Common ~~stock~~Stock on the date of grant.

Narrative Disclosure to the Summary Compensation Table

Executive Employment Agreements

We have entered into employment agreements with each of our ~~NEOs~~Named Executive Officers, each of which provides for at-will employment and provides for no specified ~~term~~ term of employment. The employment agreements are described more fully below under the heading entitled “— - Employment and Termination Arrangements.”

Annual Base Salaries

Base salaries are intended to provide a level of compensation sufficient to attract and retain an effective management team, when considered in combination with the other components of the executive compensation program. In general, we seek to provide a base salary level designed to reflect each executive officer’s scope of responsibility and accountability. Our Compensation Committee reviews the base salaries of our named executive officers each year (or otherwise at the time of a new hire or promotion). Effective as of July 15, 2025, Mr. Nabrotzky’s base salary was increased to $350,000, Mr. Maddox’s base salary was increased to $300,000 and Mr. Nambiar’s base salary was increased to $330,000.

No incentive compensation was paid to our NEOs during 2025 other than a $600 incentive bonus paid to Mr. Maddox, which was made to maintain consistency with our Puerto Rico employees’ statutory Christmas bonus requirements.

Equity Incentive Awards

SEE ID previously granted stock options to our NEOs, all of which are currently vested and were assumed by us and converted into options to purchase common shares of CID Holdco, Inc. in connection with the Business Combination. We maintain the CID Holdco, Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) to provide long-term incentive awards in order to retain talented members of our team, and to motivate eligible executives to achieve long-term financial and strategic objectives. The Equity Incentive Plan is an omnibus plan that permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards. The Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee did not grant any awards under the Equity Incentive Plan during 2025. However, pursuant to their respective employment agreements, Mr. Nabrotzky is eligible to receive a stock option award with a grant date value of $550,000, Mr. Maddox is eligible to receive a stock option award with a grant date value of $400,000 and Mr. Nambiar is eligible to receive a stock option award with a grant date value of $330,000. These options will vest in four equal annual installments on the anniversaries of the grant dates, and the number of shares subject to the option will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the grant by the fair value of a share of our Common ~~common~~Stock ~~stock~~ on the date of grant.

Other Compensation

Retirement

We currently do not maintain a 401(k) or any other retirement savings plan for our employees.

Employee Benefits and Perquisites

Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards

We grant equity awards to our executives, including stock options, as part of their total compensation. In 2025, we did not grant stock options on any date that, in relation to our disclosure of material nonpublic information, would require us to provide the tabular disclosures of Item 402(x)(2) of Regulation S-K. Accordingly, we have no specific policy or practice on the timing of awards of such options in relation to the disclosure of material nonpublic information by us. In the event that we determine to grant new awards of such options, the ~~compensation committee~~Compensation Committee will evaluate the appropriate steps to take in relation to the foregoing. Our insider trading policy also provides guidelines around the repurchases of our securities, which are generally only made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan established when we are not in possession of material nonpublic information.

Clawback Policy

We have adopted a clawback policy intended to comply with Section 10D of the Exchange Act, Rule 10D-1 thereunder and the applicable rules of any national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed. The clawback policy applies to all Affected Officers of the Company. Affected Officers means any current or former “officer” as defined in Exchange Act Rule 16a-1, and any other senior executives as determined by the Compensation Committee. This policy ensures that in the event of an accounting restatement due to material non-compliance with financial reporting requirements, the Company can recover erroneous incentive-based compensation received by an Affected Officers.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined under the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we are exempt from certain disclosure requirements related to executive compensation, including the requirement to hold advisory votes on the executive pay of our NEOs, as well as the requirement to disclose the ratio of the CEO’s annual total compensation to the median annual total compensation of our employee who is paid at the median of our employee group.

94Limitation of Liability and Indemnification

Our Charter and Bylaws, each of which became effective upon the Closing, provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers, and may indemnify our employees and other agents, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law prohibits our Charter from limiting the liability of our directors for the following:

●

any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or to our stockholders;

●

acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

●

unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; and

●

any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

If Delaware law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director, then the liability of our directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as so amended. Our Charter does not eliminate a director’s duty of care and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies, such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief, remain available under Delaware law.

This provision also does not affect a director’s responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or other state or federal laws. Under our Bylaws, we are also empowered to purchase insurance on behalf of any person whom we are required or permitted to indemnify.

In addition to the indemnification required in our Charter and Bylaws, we have entered into an indemnification agreement with each member of our board of directors and each of our officers. These agreements provide for the indemnification of our directors and officers for certain expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, or alternative dispute resolution mechanism or hearing, inquiry, or investigation that may lead to the foregoing, to which they are a party, or are threatened to be made a party, by reason of the fact that they are or were a director, officer, employee, agent, or fiduciary of our company, or any of our subsidiaries, by reason of any action or inaction by them while serving as an officer, director, agent, or fiduciary, or by reason of the fact that they were serving at our request as a director, officer, employee, agent, or fiduciary of another entity. In the case of an action or proceeding by or in the right of our company or any of our subsidiaries, no indemnification will be provided for any claim where a court determines that the indemnified party is prohibited from receiving indemnification. We believe that these charter and bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our Charter and Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and our stockholders. Moreover, a stockholder’s investment may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Warrant Assumption Agreement

At Closing, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Transfer Agent”), SUAC and the Company entered into the Warrant Assumption and Assignment Agreement (the “Warrant Assumption Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, SUAC assigned to the Company all of SUAC’s right, title and interest in and to, and the Company assumed all of SUAC’s liabilities and obligations under the certain Warrant Agreement, dated as of November 16, 2021, between SUAC and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Existing Warrant Agreement”). As a result, each Warrant automatically ceased to represent a right to acquire SUAC Class A Common Stock and instead represents a right to acquire shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Existing Warrant Agreement (as amended by the Warrant Assumption Agreement).

Related Party Policy

The audit committee of our Board ~~board of directors~~ has adopted a policy setting forth the policies and procedures for its review and approval or ratification of “related party transactions.” A “related party transaction” is any consummated or proposed transaction or series of transactions: (i) in which the ~~company~~Company was or is to be a participant; (ii) the amount of which exceeds (or is reasonably expected to exceed) the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of the ~~company~~Company’s total assets at year end for the prior two completed fiscal years in the aggregate over the duration of the transaction (without regard to profit or loss); and (iii) in which a “related party” had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. “Related parties” under this policy will include: (i) our directors, nominees for director or executive officers; (ii) any record or beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities; (iii) any immediate family member of any of the foregoing if the foregoing person is a natural person; and (iv) any other person who maybe a “related person” pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act. Pursuant to the policy, the audit committee will consider (i) the relevant facts and circumstances of each related party transaction, including if the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm’s-length dealings with an unrelated third party, (ii) the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction, (iii) whether the transaction contravenes our code of ethics or other policies, (iv) whether the audit committee believes the relationship underlying the transaction to be in the best interests of the ~~company~~Company and its stockholders and (v) the effect that the transaction may have on a director’s status as an independent member of the board and on his or her eligibility to serve on the board’s committees. Management will present to the audit committee each proposed related party transaction, including all relevant facts and circumstances relating thereto. Under the policy, we may consummate related party transactions only if our audit committee approves or ratifies the transaction in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the policy. The policy will not permit any director or executive officer to participate in the discussion of, or decision concerning, a related person transaction in which he or she is the related party.

Warrant Assumption Agreement

Simultaneously with the closing of the Business Combination, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Transfer Agent”), SUAC and the Company entered into the Warrant Assumption and Assignment Agreement (the “Warrant Assumption Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, SUAC assigned to the Company all of SUAC’s right, title and interest in and to, and the Company assumed all of SUAC’s liabilities and obligations under the certain Warrant Agreement, dated as of November 16, 2021, between SUAC and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Existing Warrant Agreement”). As a result, each Warrant automatically ceased to represent a right to acquire SUAC Class A Common Stock and instead represents a right to acquire shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Existing Warrant Agreement (as amended by the Warrant Assumption Agreement).

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock of the Company as of ~~January~~April 146, 2026 by:

●

each person known by the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Common Stock of the Company;

●

each of the Company’s executive officers and directors; and

●

all executive officers and directors of the Company as a group

The SEC has defined “beneficial ownership” of a security to mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of voting power and/or investment power over such security. A stockholder is also deemed to be, as of any date, the beneficial owner of all securities that such stockholder has the right to acquire within 60 days after that date through (a) the exercise of any option, warrant or right, (b) the conversion of a security, (c) the power to revoke a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement, or (d) the automatic termination of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of Common Stock subject to options or other rights (as set forth above) held by that person that are currently exercisable, or will become exercisable within 60 days thereafter, are deemed outstanding, while such shares are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing percentage ownership of any other person. Each person named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to all of the shares shown as beneficially owned by such person, except as otherwise indicated in the table or footnotes below.

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of the Company’s Common Stock beneficially owned by them.

The beneficial ownership of Common Stock is based on 29,~~273~~293,322 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding as of ~~January~~April 146, 2026.

With respect to the shares issuable pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Selling Securityholder is deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Any underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents that participate in the sale of the shares or interests therein may also be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act.

The table below presents information regarding the Selling Securityholder and the shares of Common Stock that it may offer from time to time under this prospectus. This table is prepared based on information supplied to us by the Selling Securityholder, and reflects holdings as of April 22, 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 Common Stock that the Selling Securityholder may offer under this prospectus. The Selling Securityholder may sell some, all or none of its shares in this offering. We do not know how long the Selling Securityholder will hold the shares before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the Selling Securityholder regarding the sale of any of the shares.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act, and includes shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Selling Securityholder has voting and investment power. The percentage of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Selling Securityholder prior to the offering shown in the table below is based on an aggregate of 29,293,322 shares of our Common Stock outstanding on April 6, 2026. Because the purchase price of the shares of Common Stock issuable under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement is determined at the time of each purchase, the number of shares that may actually be sold by the Company under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement may be fewer than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the Selling Securityholder pursuant to this prospectus.

Please see the section titled “Plan of Distribution” for further information regarding the stockholders’ method of distributing these shares.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The following summary of the material terms of the Company’s securities is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities. The full text of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and the Certificate of Designations are filed as exhibits to this registration statement. We urge you to read the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and Certificate of Designations in their entirety for a complete description of the rights and preferences of the Company’s securities.

General

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Company to issue 300,000,000 shares, consisting of (A) 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”) and (B) 290,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

The following description of our capital stock and provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and Certificate of Designations are summaries and are qualified by reference to the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and Certificate of Designations, substantially in the form filed as exhibits to this registration statement.

Common Stock

Dividend rights

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then outstanding preferred stock, holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time-to-time by the Board out of legally available funds.

Voting rights

Except as otherwise required by law, each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters properly submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Holders of Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the voting shares are able to elect all of the directors.

Liquidation

Subject to applicable Law, the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the preferred stock, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Company, the holders of shares of Common Stock will be entitled to receive all the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by them.

Rights and preferences

Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive, conversion, subscription or other rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to Common Stock. The rights, preferences, and privileges of the 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 the Company may designate in the future.

Lock-Up Restrictions

Pursuant to the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, the Holders (as defined therein) will be subject to a 180 day lock up period (subject to customary exceptions) in respect of their shares of Common Stock received in the Business Combination (subject to certain customary exceptions).

Preferred Stock

The Board has the authority, without further action by the Company’s stockholders, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions thereof. These rights, preferences, and privileges could include dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms, and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of our Common Stock. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our Common Stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change of control of the Company or other corporate action.

Warrants

~~Duration and Exercise Price~~ Warrants

~~Exercisability~~The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Common Stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying their obligations described below with respect to registration. No Warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue a share of Common Stock upon exercise of a Warrant unless the Common Stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a Warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. Holders of our Warrants cannot pay cash to exercise their warrants unless we have an effective and current registration statement covering the issuance of the shares underlying such warrants and a current prospectus relating thereto.

The Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our Common Stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser prior to the issuance of the Warrants, 9.99%) of the outstanding Common Stock immediately after exercise. Following the issuance of the Warrants, upon notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase or decrease the amount of beneficial ownership of outstanding stock after exercising the holder’s Warrants up to 9.99% of the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrants and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, provided that any increase in the beneficial ownership limitation shall not be effective until 61 days following notice to us.91

~~Cashless~~The Company has agreed that ~~Exercise~~as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of an initial business combination, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement. If a registration statement covering the issuance of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is not effective within 60 business days from the Closing, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement or a current prospectus, exercise Warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the above, if the shares of Common Stock are at the time of any exercise of Warrants not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at their option, require holders of Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

~~If, at~~Redemption ~~the time a holder exercises its Warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance~~ of ~~the~~Public ~~shares of Common Stock underlying the~~ Warrants ~~under the Securities Act is not then effective or available~~ for ~~the~~Cash ~~issuance~~when ~~of such shares, then in lieu of making~~ the ~~cash~~ ~~payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise~~ price, ~~the holder may elect~~per ~~instead~~share ~~to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number~~ of ~~shares of~~ Common Stock ~~determined~~equals ~~according~~or toexceeds ~~a formula set forth in the Warrants~~$18.00

Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants:

●

in whole and not in part;

●

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

●

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and

●

if, and only if, the closing price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading “— Anti-Dilution Adjustments”) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

The Company will not redeem the Public Warrants as described above unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Common Stock is available throughout the 30 day redemption period, except if the Public Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise their redemption right even if the Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

The redemption criteria for the Public Warrants discussed above have been established to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the Public Warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company issues a notice of redemption of the Public Warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the shares of Common Stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 (for whole shares) Public Warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

Redemption Procedures and Cashless Exercise

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption as described above when the shares of Common Stock are trading at or above $18.00 per share, the Company’s management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In making such determination, the Company’s management will consider, among other factors, the Company’s cash position, the number of Public Warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on our stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding Warrants. In such event, all holders of Public Warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the lesser of (i) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Public Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (as defined below) of shares of Common Stock over the exercise prices of the Public Warrants by (y) the fair market value. If the Company’s management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of the warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a warrant redemption. If the Company calls the Warrants for redemption and the Company’s management does not take advantage of this option, the holders of the Private Placement Warrants and their permitted transferees would still be entitled to exercise their Private Placement Warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that other warrant holders would have been required to use had all warrant holders been required to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, as described in more detail above.

The “fair market value” of the shares of Common Stock means the average last reported sale price of the shares of Common Stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.

Holder Election to Limit Exercise

A holder of a Warrant may notify the Company in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (as specified by the holder) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

Anti-Dilution Adjustments

If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a share capitalization payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a sub-division of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such share capitalization, sub-division or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of Common Stock. A rights offering to holders of Common Stock entitling holders to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price less than the “historical fair market value” (as defined below) will be deemed a share capitalization of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock) multiplied by (b) one minus the quotient of (i) the price per share of Common Stock paid in such rights offering divided by (ii) the historical fair market value. For these purposes (x) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, in determining the price payable for Common Stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (y) “historical fair market value” means the volume-weighted average price of shares of Common Stock as reported during the ten-trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the Common Stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

In addition, if the Company, at any time while the warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pays a dividend or makes a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to holders of Common Stock on account of such Common Stock (or other securities into which the warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above, or (b) any cash dividends or cash distributions which, when combined on a per share basis with all other cash dividends and cash distributions paid on the Common Stock during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution (as adjusted to appropriately reflect any other adjustments and excluding cash dividends or cash distributions that resulted in an adjustment to the exercise price or to the number of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each warrant), do not exceed $0.50, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Common Stock in respect of such event.

If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse share sub-division or reclassification of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse share sub-division, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Common Stock or equity-linked securities at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Common Stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company Board) (the “Newly Issued Price”), and (y) the volume-weighted average trading price of shares of our Common Stock during the 20-trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummate our initial business combination (such price, the “Market Value”) of shares of Common Stock is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described under “- Redemption” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Common Stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such Common Stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company are the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the issued and outstanding Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company are dissolved, the holders of the warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the warrants and in lieu of the Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their warrants immediately prior to such event. However, if such holders were entitled to exercise a right of election as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other assets receivable upon such consolidation or merger, then the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets for which each warrant will become exercisable will be deemed to be the weighted average of the kind and amount received per share by such holders in such consolidation or merger that affirmatively make such election, and if a tender, exchange or redemption offer has been made to and accepted by such holders (other than a tender, exchange or redemption offer made by the Company in connection with redemption rights held by stockholders as provided for in its amended and restated certificate of incorporation or as a result of the redemption of Common Stock by the Company if a proposed initial business combination is presented to the Company’s stockholders for approval) under circumstances in which, upon completion of such tender or exchange offer, the maker thereof, together with members of any group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) of which such maker is a part, and together with any affiliate or associate of such maker (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and any members of any such group of which any such affiliate or associate is a part, own beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the holder of a warrant will be entitled to receive the highest amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would actually have been entitled as a stockholder if such warrant holder had exercised the warrant prior to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, accepted such offer and all of the shares of Common Stock held by such holder had been purchased pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, subject to adjustment (from and after the consummation of such tender or exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in the warrant agreement. Additionally, if less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of Common Stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of Common Stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within thirty days following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the warrant agreement based on the Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined in the warrant agreement) of the warrant. The purpose of such exercise price reduction is to provide additional value to holders of the warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period of the warrants pursuant to which the holders of the warrants otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the warrants.

The warrants will be issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and the Company. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Public Warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders thereof. You should review a copy of the warrant agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the warrants.

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Common Stock and any voting rights until they exercise their Warrants and receive Common Stock. After the issuance of Common Stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

Private Placement Warrants

Except as described below, the Private Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants. The Private Warrants (including the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Private Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until July 18, 2025 (except, among other limited exceptions to certain officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the holder of such Private Warrants) and they will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the Sponsor, members of the Sponsor, or their permitted transferees. The Sponsor, members of the Sponsor, or their permitted transferees have the option to exercise the Private Warrants on a cashless basis. If the Private Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor, members of the Sponsor, the Wentworth Members or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

If holders of the Private Warrants elect to exercise its Private Warrants on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “exercise fair market value” (defined below) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the exercise fair market value. The “exercise fair market value” will mean the average reported closing price of the Common Stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent. The Private Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor, members of the Sponsor, the Wentworth Members or their permitted transferees because they may be affiliated with the Company following the Business Combination. If they remain affiliated with the Company, their ability to sell the Company’s securities in the open market will be significantly limited. the Company has policies in place that prohibit insiders from selling the Company’s securities except during specific periods of time. Even during such periods of time when insiders will be permitted to sell the Company’s securities, an insider cannot trade in the Company’s securities if they are in possession of material non-public information.

Accordingly, unlike public stockholders who could exercise their warrants and sell the shares of Common Stock received upon such exercise freely in the open market in order to recoup the cost of such exercise, the insiders could be significantly restricted from selling such securities. As a result, the Company believes that allowing the holders to exercise such Private Warrants on a cashless basis is appropriate.

Commitment Warrant

In connection with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, we issued to White Lion a common stock purchase warrant (the “Commitment Warrant”) entitling White Lion to purchase from the Company up to $10,000,000 worth of Common Stock. The exercise price per share is equal to 99% of the closing sales price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of exercise, subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, and similar events. The Commitment Warrant is exercisable at any time from the Initial Exercise Date through and including the fifth anniversary thereof (the “Termination Date”). The Commitment Warrant may be exercised for cash or, if at the time of exercise there is no effective registration statement covering the Warrant Shares, on a cashless basis. The Commitment Warrant contains a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% (adjustable to 9.99% upon 61 days’ prior written notice). In the event of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Commitment Warrant), the holder shall have the right to receive, upon exercise, the same consideration that would have been payable had the holder exercised immediately prior to such event. The Commitment Warrant also contains anti-dilution protections, including a full ratchet anti-dilution provision pursuant to which the exercise price will be reduced to the effective price per share of any new issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents below the then-current exercise price (subject to exceptions for certain exempt issuances).

Dividends

Declaration and payment of any dividend will be subject to the discretion of the Board. The time and amount of dividends will be dependent upon, among other things, the Company’s business prospects, results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements and availability, debt repayment obligations, capital expenditure needs, contractual restrictions, covenants in the agreements governing current and future indebtedness, industry trends, the provisions of Delaware law affecting the payment of dividends and distributions to stockholders and any other factors or considerations the Board may regard as relevant. Dividends may be payable in cash, stock or property of the Holdings.

Holdings currently intends to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of the business, and therefore does not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends on Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

Board of Directors

The Company Charter provides that the Board will consist of three classes of directors, Class I, Class II and Class II, with the members of the board of directors of the Company being elected to serve as Class I, Class II and Class III directors to serve staggered terms until the first, second and third annual meeting of stockholders of the Company, respectively, or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation, removal, or death. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors will be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting. Any director may be removed from office by the stockholders of the Company as provided in Section 141(k) of the DGCL only for cause.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

The Company Charter and Bylaws contain provisions that may delay, defer or discourage another party from acquiring control of us. We expect that these provisions, which are summarized below, will discourage coercive takeover practices or inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with the Board, which we believe may result in an improvement of the terms of any such acquisition in favor of the stockholders. However, they also give the Board the power to discourage acquisitions that some stockholders may favor. Additionally, the creation of a classified board of directors may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.

Authorized but Unissued Shares

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

Stockholder Action; Stockholders’ Meetings

The Company Charter provides that stockholders may not take action by written consent to remove a director. As a result, a holder controlling a majority of the Company’s capital stock would not be able to amend the bylaws or remove directors without holding a meeting of stockholders called for that purpose in accordance with the Company’s bylaws. Further, the Company Charter provides that only the chairperson of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, or a majority of the Board, by resolution, may call a special Stockholders’ Meeting of the stockholders, thus prohibiting a stockholder from calling a special Stockholders’ Meeting. These provisions might delay the ability of the stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or for the stockholders controlling a majority of the Company’s capital stock to take any action, including the removal of directors.

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations

In addition, the Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders. Generally, in order for any matter to be “properly brought” before an annual meeting, the matter must be (i) specified in a notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Board, (ii) if not specified in a notice of meeting, otherwise brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board, or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder present in person who (A) was a stockholder both at the time of giving the notice and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting, (B) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (C) has complied with the advance notice procedures specified in the Bylaws or properly made such proposal in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, which proposal has been included in the proxy statement for the annual meeting. Further, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must provide Timely Notice (as defined herein) thereof in writing and in proper form to the secretary of the Company. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received at, the Company’s principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 30 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be received, not earlier than the close of business 120 days before the meeting and not later than the later of (x) the close of business 90 days before the meeting or (y) the close of business on the 10^th day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made by the Company (such notice within such time periods, “Timely Notice”).

Stockholders at an annual meeting or Stockholders’ Meeting may only consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board or by a qualified stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has delivered written Timely Notice in proper form to the Company’s secretary of the stockholder’s intention to bring such business before the meeting. These provisions could have the effect of delaying stockholder actions that are favored by the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities until the next stockholder meeting.

Amendment of Charter or Bylaws

The Bylaws provide that the bylaws may be amended or repealed by a majority vote of the Board or by the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting as a single class. The Charter can be amended in accordance with the DGCL which requires approval by the Board and stockholders of the Holdings.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

The Charter and Bylaws will provide indemnification and advancement of expenses for the Company’s directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to certain limited exceptions. The Company has entered into, or will enter into, indemnification agreements with each of its directors and officers. Under the terms of such indemnification agreements, the Company will be required to indemnify each of the Company’s directors and officers, if the basis of the indemnitee’s involvement was by reason of the fact that the indemnitee is or was a director of officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or was serving at the request of the Company in an official capacity of another entity. In some cases, the provisions of those indemnification agreements may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained under Delaware law. In addition, as permitted by Delaware law, the Charter and the Bylaws will include provisions that eliminate the personal liability of directors for monetary damages resulting from breaches of certain fiduciary duties as a director.

The effect of this provision is to restrict the Company’s rights and the rights of the Company’s stockholders in derivative suits to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of fiduciary duties as a director.

These provisions may be held not to be enforceable for violations of the federal securities laws of the United States.

Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal and Payment

Under the DGCL, with certain exceptions, the Company’s stockholders will have appraisal rights in connection with a merger or consolidation of the Company. Pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, stockholders who properly demand and perfect appraisal rights in connection with such merger or consolidation will have the right to receive payment of the fair value of their shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery.

Stockholders’ Derivative Actions

Under the DGCL, any stockholder may bring an action in the Company’s name to procure a judgment in its favor, also known as a derivative action, provided that the stockholder bringing the action is a holder of the Holdings’ shares at the time of the transaction to which the action relates.

Forum Selection

The Bylaws provide that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action brought by a stockholder on behalf of the Company, (ii) any claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of the Company’s directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (iii) any claim against the Company, its directors, officers or employees arising under its charter, bylaws or the DGCL, or (iv) any claim against the Company, its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The Proposed Charter designates the federal district courts of the United States of America as the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Listing of Securities

The Company’s Common Stock and Warrants are listed on the Nasdaq under the symbols “DAIC” and “DAICW,” respectively.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for the Company’s securities is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

We know of no existing arrangements between the Selling Securityholder or 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.

Each Pre-Funded Warrant offered hereby will have an initial exercise price per share equal to $0.0001. The Pre-Funded Warrants will be immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our Common Stock and the exercise price. The Pre-Funded Warrants will be issued separately from the accompanying Warrants, in certificated form only.

~~Exercisability~~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 Securityholder, including the names of any brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of such shares by the Selling Securityholder, any compensation paid by the Selling Securityholder to any such brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents, and any other required information.
