OUR COMPANY
Overview
We are an oil production, refining, and development-stage environmental remediation company formed to deploy technologies to facilitate the recycling of waste asphalt shingles and remediation of oil-saturated sands and soils, providing sustainable refined crude products. We expect the recycling and production of oil from asphalt shingles to reduce the dependence on landfills for the disposal of waste and to also reduce dependence on foreign and domestic virgin crude oil extraction for industrial uses.
We have developed a process for separating oil from oily sands and other oil-bearing solids utilizing a proprietary solvent, which we refer to as our ECOSolv technology or the ECOSolv process. The solvent is used in a closed-loop distillation and evaporation circuit which results in over 99% of the solvent being recoverable for continuous reuse and requires no water. The solvent has demonstrated oil separation rates of over 95% in bench testing using samples of both mined crushed ore and ground asphalt shingles. Bench testing was conducted in house, and through unaffiliated third parties, which were completed on May 3, 2022 and August 30, 2022.
We intend to finish retrofitting our oil sands remediation facility located in PR Spring in eastern Utah in fiscal 2025 to recycle waste asphalt shingles using our ECOSolv technology, to produce and sell oil as well as asphalt paving aggregate mined from our bitumen deposit.
We expect to complete the build-out of our initial modular asphalt shingle recycling facility in fiscal 2025, which can be deployed in areas with high concentrations of waste asphalt shingles and near asphalt shingle manufacturing centers. Our design contemplates a modular, scalable, purpose-built facility capable of remediating waste asphalt shingles and separation into their base components of bitumen / asphalt cement, shingle granules, sand aggregate, limestone and fiberglass.
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As a result, we will be permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:
·have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;
·comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);
·submit certain executive compensation matters to stockholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and
·disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.
1
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of this offering, (ii) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues are $1.235 billion or more, (iii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

THE CONVERTIBLE NOTE AND WARRANT
On May 22, 2025, we entered into a note purchase agreement with the Selling Stockholder, pursuant to which the Selling Stockholder purchased the Convertible Note and the Warrant for a purchase price of $150,000. The note purchase agreement contains customary representations and warrants and covenants.
The Convertible Note accrues interest at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, paid semi-annually in cash commencing on December 31, 2025, with all unpaid principal and interest due and payable on May 22, 2027; provided that upon an event of default (as defined in the Convertible Note), the interest rate shall increase to fourteen percent (14%) per annum. We may prepay all or any portion of the Convertible Note at any time prior to maturity; provided that if the Convertible Note is paid within the first twelve months after issuance, we must pay a one percent (1%) prepayment penalty. The principal amount and outstanding accrued interest may be converted into shares of common stock at any time at an initial conversion price of $1.25 per share, which such exercise price is subject to standard adjustments in the event of any stock splits, stock combinations, stock reclassifications, dividends paid in common stock, sales of substantially all of our assets, mergers, consolidations or similar transactions, as well as an antidilution adjustment, which provides that if we sell securities convertible into shares of common stock for cash in a minimum amount of $250,000, and the conversion price of such securities is lower than the conversion price then in effect for the Convertible Note, the conversion price shall be reduced to such lower price, subject to a floor price of $0.50 per share. The Convertible Note contains customary events of default for a loan of this type.
The Warrant may be exercised for a period of twenty-four (24) months at an initial exercise price of $1.25, which such exercise price is subject to standard adjustments in the event of any stock splits, stock combinations, stock reclassifications, dividends paid in common stock, sales of substantially all of our assets, mergers, consolidations or similar transactions.
On July 9, 2025, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with the Selling Stockholder, or the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to register for resale under the Securities Act the shares of common stock that have been or may be issued to the Selling Stockholder under the Convertible Note, the Warrant and the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to file an initial registration statement on Form S-1 within ten (10) business days after the date of the Registration Rights Agreement and use our best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective by the SEC at the earliest possible date. The Registration Rights Agreement also contains customary covenants and indemnification provisions.

THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
On July 9, 2025, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Selling Stockholder, pursuant to which the Selling Stockholder has agreed to purchase from us up to an aggregate of $8,125,000 of our common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the term of the Purchase Agreement.
This prospectus covers the resale by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement of 13,654,230 shares of our common stock, comprised of: (i) 366,260 shares that we issued to the Selling Stockholder, or the Initial Commitment Shares; (ii) up to 183,131 shares that we may issue to the Selling Stockholder from time to time in connection with each purchase of common stock by the Selling Stockholder, or the Additional Commitment Shares, in each case, as consideration for the Selling Stockholder’s commitment to purchase shares of common stock under the Purchase Agreement, and (iii) 13,104,839 shares that we have reserved for issuance and sale to the Selling Stockholder in the future under the Purchase Agreement.
We do not have the right to commence any sales of our common stock to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement until all of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement have been satisfied, including that the SEC has declared effective the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part registering the shares issued and being issued and sold to the Selling Stockholder. Thereafter, we may, from time to time and at our sole discretion for a period of 24-months, on any business day that we select, direct the Selling Stockholder to purchase up to 40,000 shares of common stock, which amounts may be increased depending on the market price of our common stock at the time of sale.
We will control the timing and amount of any sales of our common stock to the Selling Stockholder. The purchase price of the shares that may be sold to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement will be based on an agreed upon fixed discount to the market price of our common stock immediately preceding the time of sale as computed under the Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that we will not sell any shares of our common stock to the Selling Stockholder at a price of less than $0.62 per share. The purchase price per share will be equitably adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction occurring during the business days used to compute such price.
We may at any time in our sole discretion terminate the Purchase Agreement without fee, penalty or cost upon one (1) business day notice. There are no restrictions on future financings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement. The Selling Stockholder may not assign or transfer its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement.
The Purchase Agreement prohibits us from directing the Selling Stockholder to purchase any shares of common stock if those shares, when aggregated with all other shares of our common stock then beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholder and its affiliates, would result in the Selling Stockholder and its affiliates having beneficial ownership at any single point in time of more than 9.99% of the then total outstanding shares of our common stock, as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 thereunder, which limitation we refer to as the Beneficial Ownership Cap.
Issuances of our common stock in this offering will not affect the rights or privileges of our existing stockholders, except that the economic and voting interests of each of our existing stockholders will be diluted as a result of any such issuance. Although the number of shares of common stock that our existing stockholders own will not decrease, the shares owned by our existing stockholders will represent a smaller percentage of our total outstanding shares after any such issuance to the Selling Stockholder.

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed under “Part I-Item 1A-Risk Factors” of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K that are incorporated herein by reference, as may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future. The risks described in these documents are not the only ones we face, but those that we consider to be material. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also significantly impair our business operations and financial condition. Please also refer to the section titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” In addition to the risks that we have previously disclosed, our business is subject to the following risks.
Risks Related to this Offering
The sale or issuance of our common stock to the Selling Stockholder may cause dilution and the sale of the shares of common stock acquired by the Selling Stockholder, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of our common stock to decrease.
On July 9, 2025, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Selling Stockholder, pursuant to which (i) we issued 366,260 shares to the Selling Stockholder as the Initial Commitment Shares, (ii) we have reserved and may issue 183,131 additional shares to the Selling Stockholder as the Additional Commitment Shares, in each case, as consideration for the Selling Stockholder’s commitment to purchase shares of common stock under the Purchase Agreement, and (iii) the Selling Stockholder has committed to purchase up to $8,125,000 of our common stock.
The shares of our common stock that may be issued under the Purchase Agreement may be sold by us to the Selling Stockholder at our discretion from time to time over a 24-month period commencing after the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including that the SEC has declared effective the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The purchase price for the shares that we may sell to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement will fluctuate based on the price of our common stock. Depending on market liquidity at the time, sales of such shares may cause the trading price of our common stock to decrease.
We generally have the right to control the timing and amount of any future sales of our shares to the Selling Stockholder. Additional sales of our common stock, if any, to the Selling Stockholder will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined by us. We may ultimately decide to sell to the Selling Stockholder all, some or none of the additional shares of our common stock that may be available for us to sell pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. If and when we do sell additional shares to the Selling Stockholder, after the Selling Stockholder has acquired the shares, the Selling Stockholder may resell all, some or none of those shares at any time or from time to time in its discretion. Therefore, sales to the Selling Stockholder by us could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. Additionally, the sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock to the Selling Stockholder, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.
Further, we are not restricted from issuing additional securities in the future, including our common stock, securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, our common stock or substantially similar securities. To the extent that we raise additional funds through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities will result in dilution to our stockholders.
We may require additional financing to sustain our operations, without which we may not be able to continue operations, and the terms of subsequent financings may adversely impact our stockholders.
We may direct the Selling Stockholder to purchase up to $8,125,000 worth of shares of our common stock under our agreement over a 24-month period in amounts up to 40,000 shares of our common stock, which may be increased depending on the market price of our common stock at the time of sale, and, in each case, subject to a maximum limit of $300,000 per purchase, on any single business day (such share amounts being subject to adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction as provided in the Purchase Agreement).
The extent we rely on the Selling Stockholder as a source of funding will depend on a number of factors, including the prevailing market price of our common stock and the extent to which we are able to secure financing from other sources. If obtaining sufficient financing from the Selling Stockholder were to prove unavailable or prohibitively dilutive, we may need to secure another source of funding in order to satisfy our financing needs. Even if we sell all $8,125,000 under the Purchase Agreement to the Selling Stockholder, we may still need additional capital to finance our future working capital needs, and
7
we may have to raise funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Depending on the type and the terms of any financing we pursue, stockholders’ rights and the value of their investment in our common stock could be reduced. A financing could involve one or more types of securities including common stock, preferred stock, convertible debt or warrants to acquire common stock. These securities could be issued at or below the then prevailing market price for our common stock. In addition, if we issue secured debt securities, the holders of the debt would have a claim to our assets that would be prior to the rights of stockholders until the debt is paid. Interest on these debt securities would increase costs and negatively impact operating results. If the issuance of new securities results in diminished rights to holders of our common stock, the market price of our common stock could be negatively impacted.
Should the financing we require to sustain our financing needs be unavailable or prohibitively expensive when we require it, the consequences could be a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.
Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from our sale of shares of common stock to the Selling Stockholder, you may not agree with how we use the proceeds and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.
Our management will have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from our sale of shares of common stock to the Selling Stockholder, and we could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of commencement of this offering. Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of those net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used as you may deem to be appropriate. It is possible that, pending their use, we may invest those net proceeds in a manner that may not yield a favorable, or any, return for us. The manner in which our management uses such funds could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement contain certain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “could,” “would,” “project,” “plan,” “potentially,” “likely,” and similar expressions and variations thereof are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Those statements appear in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated herein and therein by reference, particularly in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of our management that are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. You are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.
Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein after we distribute this prospectus, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.

Except with respect to our series B preferred stock, which entitled holders to an annual dividend in the amount of 8% of the original issue price of such series B preferred stock, we have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. All of the outstanding shares of series B preferred stock were converted into shares of our common stock in connection with our public offering on October 10, 2024. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the near future. We may also enter into credit agreements or other borrowing arrangements in the future that will restrict our ability to declare or pay cash dividends. Any future determination to declare dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.

THE CONVERTIBLE NOTE AND WARRANT
On May 22, 2025, we entered into a note purchase agreement with the Selling Stockholder, pursuant to which the Selling Stockholder purchased the Convertible Note and the Warrant for a purchase price of $150,000. The note purchase agreement contains customary representations and warrants and covenants.
The Convertible Note accrues interest at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, paid semi-annually in cash commencing on December 31, 2025, with all unpaid principal and interest due and payable on May 22, 2027; provided that upon an event of default (as defined in the Convertible Note), the interest rate shall increase to fourteen percent (14%) per annum. We may prepay all or any portion of the Convertible Note at any time prior to maturity; provided that if the Convertible Note is paid within the first twelve months after issuance, we must pay a one percent (1%) prepayment penalty. The principal amount and outstanding accrued interest may be converted into shares of common stock at any time at an initial conversion price of $1.25 per share, which such exercise price is subject to standard adjustments in the event of any stock splits, stock combinations, stock reclassifications, dividends paid in common stock, sales of substantially all of our assets, mergers, consolidations or similar transactions, as well as an antidilution adjustment, which provides that if we sell securities convertible into shares of common stock for cash in a minimum amount of $250,000, and the conversion price of such securities is lower than the conversion price then in effect for the Convertible Note, the conversion price shall be reduced to such lower price, however such lower price shall not be less than $.50 per share. The Convertible Note contains customary events of default for a loan of this type.
The Warrant may be exercised for a period of twenty-four (24) months at an initial exercise price of $1.25, which such exercise price is subject to standard adjustments in the event of any stock splits, stock combinations, stock reclassifications, dividends paid in common stock, sales of substantially all of our assets, mergers, consolidations or similar transactions.
On July 9, 2025, we also entered into the Registration Rights Agreement with the Selling Stockholder, pursuant to which we agreed to register for resale under the Securities Act the shares of common stock that have been or may be issued to the Selling Stockholder under the Convertible Note, the Warrant and the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to file an initial registration statement on Form S-1 within ten (10) business days after the date of the Registration Rights Agreement and use our best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective by the SEC at the earliest possible date. The Registration Rights Agreement also contains customary covenants and indemnification provisions.
12
General
On July 9, 2025, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Selling Stockholder, pursuant to which the Selling Stockholder has agreed to purchase from us up to an aggregate of $8,125,000 of our common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the term of the Purchase Agreement.
This prospectus covers the resale by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement of 13,654,230 shares of our common stock, comprised of: (i) 366,260 Initial Commitment Shares that we issued to the Selling Stockholder; (ii) up to 183,131 Additional Commitment Shares that we may issue to the Selling Stockholder from time to time in connection with each purchase of common stock by the Selling Stockholder, in each case, as consideration for the Selling Stockholder’s commitment to purchase shares of common stock under the Purchase Agreement, and (iii) 13,104,839 shares that we have reserved for issuance and sale to the Selling Stockholder in the future under the Purchase Agreement.
We do not have the right to commence any sales of our common stock to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement until all of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement have been satisfied, including that the SEC has declared effective the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part registering the shares issued and being issued and sold to the Selling Stockholder. Thereafter, we may, from time to time and at our sole discretion for a period of 24-months, on any business day that we select, direct the Selling Stockholder to purchase up to 40,000 shares of common stock, which amounts may be increased depending on the market price of our common stock at the time of sale.
We will control the timing and amount of any sales of our common stock to the Selling Stockholder. The purchase price of the shares that may be sold to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement will be based on an agreed upon fixed discount to the market price of our common stock immediately preceding the time of sale as computed under the Purchase Agreement; provided, however, we will not sell any shares of our common stock to the Selling Stockholder at a price of less than $0.62 per share. The purchase price per share will be equitably adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction occurring during the business days used to compute such price.
We may at any time in our sole discretion terminate the Purchase Agreement without fee, penalty or cost upon one (1) business day notice. There are no restrictions on future financings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement. The Selling Stockholder may not assign or transfer its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement.
The Purchase Agreement prohibits us from directing the Selling Stockholder to purchase any shares of common stock if those shares, when aggregated with all other shares of our common stock then beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholder and its affiliates, would result in the Selling Stockholder and its affiliates having beneficial ownership at any single point in time of more than 9.99% of the then total outstanding shares of our common stock, as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 thereunder, which limitation we refer to as the Beneficial Ownership Cap.
Issuances of our common stock in this offering will not affect the rights or privileges of our existing stockholders, except that the economic and voting interests of each of our existing stockholders will be diluted as a result of any such issuance. Although the number of shares of common stock that our existing stockholders own will not decrease, the shares owned by our existing stockholders will represent a smaller percentage of our total outstanding shares after any such issuance to the Selling Stockholder.
Purchase of Shares Under the Purchase Agreement
Under the Purchase Agreement, on any business day that we select (and provided (A) the closing sale price of our common stock on the purchase date is not less than $0.64 (as adjusted pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) and (B) all shares of common stock subject to all prior regular purchases and all Additional Commitment Shares required to be issued to the Selling Stockholder have been properly delivered to the Selling Stockholder in accordance with the Purchase Agreement), we may direct the Selling Stockholder to purchase up to 40,000 shares of our common stock on such business day, provided, however, that (i) the purchase may be increased to up to 60,000 shares if the closing sale price of our common stock is not below $0.80 on the purchase date, (ii) the purchase may be increased to up to 80,000 shares if the closing sale price of our common stock is not below $1.00 on the purchase date, and (iii) the purchase may be increased to up to 100,000 shares if the closing sale price of the common stock is not below $2.00 on the purchase date (which such share amount limitation is referred to herein as the Purchase Share Limit). In each case, the Selling Stockholder’s maximum commitment in any single purchase may not exceed $300,000. The Regular Purchase Share Limit is subject to proportionate adjustment in the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction; provided, that if after giving effect to such full
13
proportionate adjustment, the adjusted Regular Purchase Share Limit would preclude us from requiring the Selling Stockholder to purchase common stock at an aggregate purchase price equal to or greater than $100,000 in any single purchase, then the Regular Purchase Share Limit will not be fully adjusted, but rather the Regular Purchase Share Limit for such purchase shall be adjusted as specified in the Purchase Agreement, such that, after giving effect to such adjustment, the Regular Purchase Share Limit will be equal to (or as close as can be derived from such adjustment without exceeding) $100,000.
The purchase price per share for each such purchase will be equal to 97% of the lower of (i) the lowest sale price for our common stock on the purchase date of such shares and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three lowest closing sale prices for our common stock during the ten (10) consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding the purchase date of such shares, subject to adjustment 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the purchase price shall not be less than $0.62 per share.
Other than as described above, there are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the Purchase Agreement, and we will control the timing and amount of any sales of our common stock to the Selling Stockholder.
Suspension Events
Suspension events under the Purchase Agreement include the following:
·the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part lapses for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order), or such registration statement (or the prospectus forming a part thereof) are unavailable for the resale by the Selling Stockholder of our common stock offered hereby, and such lapse or unavailability continues for a period of ten (10) consecutive business days or for more than an aggregate of thirty (30) business days in any 365-day period;
·suspension by our principal market of our common stock from trading for a period of one (1) business day;
·the de-listing of our common stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market, our principal market, provided our common stock is not immediately thereafter trading on The Nasdaq Global Market, The Nasdaq Global Select Market, the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, or the OTCQX or OTCQB operated by the OTC Markets Group Inc. (or any nationally recognized successors thereto);
·the failure of our transfer agent to issue to the Selling Stockholder shares of our common stock within two (2) business days after the applicable date on which the Selling Stockholder is entitled to receive such shares;
·any breach of the representations or warranties or covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement that has or could have a material adverse effect on us and, in the case of a breach of a covenant that is reasonably curable, that is not cured within five (5) business days;
·any voluntary or involuntary participation or threatened participation in insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings by or against us; or
·if at any time we are not eligible to transfer our common stock electronically.
The Selling Stockholder does not have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement upon any of the suspension events set forth above. During a suspension event, all of which are outside of the Selling Stockholder’s control, we may not direct the Selling Stockholder to purchase any shares of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement.
Our Termination Rights
We have the unconditional right, at any time, for any reason and without any payment or liability to us, to give notice to the Selling Stockholder to terminate the Purchase Agreement. In the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against us, the Purchase Agreement will automatically terminate without action of any party.
No Short-Selling or Hedging by the Selling Stockholder
The Selling Stockholder has agreed that neither it nor any of its affiliates shall engage in any direct or indirect short-selling or hedging of our common stock during any time prior to the termination of the Purchase Agreement.
14
No Prohibitions on Future Financings
There are no restrictions on future financings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement.
Effect of Performance of the Purchase Agreement on Our Stockholders
All 13,654,230 shares registered in this offering that have been and may be issued or sold by us to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement are expected to be freely tradable. It is anticipated that shares registered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement in this offering, excluding the Initial Commitment Shares, will be sold to the Selling Stockholder over a period of up to 24-months. The resale by the Selling Stockholder of a significant amount of shares registered in this offering, at any given time during the pendency of this offering, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline and to be volatile. Resales of our common stock to the Selling Stockholder, if any, will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined by us. We may ultimately decide to sell to the Selling Stockholder all, some or none of the shares of our common stock that may be available for us to sell pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. If and when we do sell shares to the Selling Stockholder, after the Selling Stockholder has acquired the shares, the Selling Stockholder may resell all, some or none of those shares at any time or from time to time in its discretion. Therefore, sales to the Selling Stockholder by us under the Purchase Agreement may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. In addition, if we sell a substantial number of shares to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement, or if investors expect that we will do so, the actual sales of shares or the mere existence of our arrangement with the Selling Stockholder may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect such sales. However, we have the right to control the timing and amount of any additional sales of our shares to the Selling Stockholder and the Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time at our discretion without any cost to us.
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we have the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Selling Stockholder to purchase up to $8,125,000 of our common stock. The number of shares ultimately offered for resale by the Selling Stockholder under this prospectus is dependent upon the number of shares we direct the Selling Stockholder to purchase under the Purchase Agreement.
The following table sets forth the amount of gross proceeds we would receive from the Selling Stockholder from our sale of shares to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement at varying purchase prices:
Assumed Average Purchase Price Per Share |

(1)The denominator is based on 22,480,036 shares outstanding as of July 16, 2025 (which number includes the 366,260 Initial Commitment Shares), adjusted to include the number of shares set forth in the column titled “Number of Registered Shares to be Issued if Full Purchase,” which we would have sold to the Selling Stockholder, assuming the purchase price in the adjacent column. The numerator is based on the number of shares issuable under the Purchase Agreement, set forth in the column titled “Number of Registered Shares to be Issued if Full Purchase,” at the corresponding assumed purchase price set forth in the adjacent column. The table does not give effect to the Beneficial Ownership Cap.

The Selling Stockholder may, from time to time, offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus any or all of the shares that we may issue to it from time to time at our discretion under the Purchase Agreement.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 thereunder. The percentage of shares beneficially owned prior to the offering is based on 22,480,036 shares of our common stock outstanding as of July 16, 2025.

The common stock offered by this prospectus is being offered by the Selling Stockholder. The common stock may be sold or distributed from time to time by the Selling Stockholder directly to one or more purchasers or through brokers, dealers, or underwriters who may act solely as agents at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices, or at fixed prices, which may be changed. The sale of the common stock offered by this prospectus could be effected in one or more of the following methods:
·ordinary brokers’ transactions;
·transactions involving cross or block trades;
·through brokers, dealers, or underwriters who may act solely as agents;
·“at the market” into an existing market for the common stock;
·in other ways not involving market makers or established business markets, including direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents;
·in privately negotiated transactions; or
·any combination of the foregoing.
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares may be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states, the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from the state’s registration or qualification requirement is available and complied with.
The Selling Stockholder is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act.
The Selling Stockholder has informed us that it intends to use an unaffiliated broker-dealer to effectuate all sales, if any, of the common stock that it may purchase from us pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Such sales will be made at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price. Each such unaffiliated broker-dealer will be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholder has informed us that each such broker-dealer will receive commissions from it that will not exceed customary brokerage commissions.
Brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the shares offered by this prospectus may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts, or concessions from the purchasers, for whom the broker-dealers may act as agent, of the common stock sold by the Selling Stockholder through this prospectus. The compensation paid to any such particular broker-dealer by any such purchasers of common stock sold by the Selling Stockholder may be less than or in excess of customary commissions. Neither we nor the Selling Stockholder can presently estimate the amount of compensation that any agent will receive from any purchasers of common stock sold by the Selling Stockholder.
We know of no existing arrangements between the Selling Stockholder or any other stockholder, broker, dealer, underwriter or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares offered by this prospectus.
We may from time to time file with the SEC one or more supplements to this prospectus or amendments to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part to amend, supplement or update information contained in this prospectus, including, if and when required under the Securities Act, to disclose certain information relating to a particular sale of shares offered by this prospectus by the Selling Stockholder, including the names of any brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of such shares by the Selling Stockholder, any compensation paid by the Selling Stockholder to any such brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents, and any other required information.
We will pay the expenses incident to the registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of the shares covered by this prospectus by the Selling Stockholder. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholder and certain other persons against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of shares of common stock offered hereby, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities. The Selling Stockholder has agreed to indemnify us against liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from certain written information furnished to us by the Selling Stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities.

The Selling Stockholder has represented to us that at no time prior to the date of the Purchase Agreement has it or its agents, representatives or affiliates engaged in or effected, in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, any short sale (as such term is defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO of the Exchange Act) of our common stock or any hedging transaction, which establishes a net short position with respect to our common stock. The Selling Stockholder agreed that during the term of the Purchase Agreement, it, its agents, representatives or affiliates will not enter into or effect, directly or indirectly, any of the foregoing transactions.
We have advised the Selling Stockholder that it is required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes the Selling Stockholder, any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in the distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the securities offered by this prospectus.
This offering will terminate on the earlier of: (i) the date that all shares offered by this prospectus have been sold by the Selling Stockholder, or (ii) twenty-four months from the date of this prospectus.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the DGCL authorizes a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities arising out of actions, suits and proceedings to which they are made or threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact of their prior or current service to the corporation as a director or officer, in accordance with the provisions of Section 145, which are sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities arising under the Securities Act. The indemnity may cover expenses (including attorneys’ fees) judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding. Section 145 permits corporations to pay expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by directors and officers in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding. In addition, Section 145 provides that a corporation has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its directors and officers against any liability asserted against them and incurred by them in their capacity as a director or officer, or arising out of their status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the director or officer against such liability under Section 145.
Our restated certificate of incorporation provides that we shall indemnify, advance expenses, and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of our company or, while a director or officer of our company, is or was serving at the request of our company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by such person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except for claims for indemnification (following the final disposition of such proceeding) or advancement of expenses not paid in full, we shall be required to indemnify a covered person in connection with such a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such covered person only if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the covered person was authorized in the specific case by our board of directors.
We have also obtained insurance policies covering our directors and officers with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sells are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
II-4
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) To include material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 and Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) For determining liability of the undersigned Registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(a) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(b) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;
(c) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and
(d) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(6) That, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
II-5
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Woods Cross, Utah, on July 18, 2025.
