PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY
This summary highlights information contained elsewhere or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before deciding to invest in our securities. You should read this entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus carefully, including the "Risk Factors" section contained in this prospectus supplement and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and the other documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
Overview
Headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, the Company operates through several wholly owned subsidiaries, including Duos Edge AI, Inc., Duos Technologies, Inc., and Duos Energy Corporation. The Company is a vertically integrated AI infrastructure company focused on providing modular, rapidly deployable Edge Data Center capacity, GPU-as-a-Service and Infrastructure-as-a-Service solutions, and technology infrastructure solutions. The Company's strategic priority is scaling its AI infrastructure platform, with a near-term target of 25 megawatts ("MW") of deployed AI infrastructure capacity.
Evolution of the Company's Strategy
Over the past several years, the Company has evolved from a technology developer and provider, primarily focused on automated inspection and analytics solutions, toward a broader digital infrastructure platform centered on edge computing and distributed data center deployments.
While our legacy solutions demonstrated the value of localized computing power, real-time data processing, and AI-enabled analytics in mission-critical environments, market dynamics and customer demand increasingly favor infrastructure-centric solutions that bring compute and connectivity closer to the point of use. This evolution has guided our strategic expansion into modular Edge Data Centers and infrastructure solutions and services.
Continued Support of Existing Solutions
The Company continues to support and operate its existing technology platforms and customer deployments. We believe our prior experience in deploying edge compute systems, operating in regulated environments, and managing complex installations provides a strong foundation for our digital infrastructure initiatives.
Expansion Into Digital Infrastructure and Edge Data Centers
During fiscal 2024, the Company significantly expanded its focus on deploying modular EDCs and building a repeatable platform to support distributed compute workloads across education, healthcare, service provider, enterprise, and public sector customers. These deployments are designed to generate both initial deployment revenue and long-term recurring revenue streams tied to infrastructure utilization and services.
Infrastructure Solutions and Value-Added Services
In addition to owning and deploying infrastructure, the Company operates Duos Technologies Solutions, Inc., an infrastructure solutions business complementary to Duos Edge AI that provides manufacturer-agnostic sourcing, logistics coordination, and fulfillment services. The Technology Solutions business has added over 30 new customers year-to-date, established MSA agreements with leading data center operators including NTT Data Centers, DataBank, QTS, and Core Scientific, and maintains a sales pipeline exceeding $50 million for 2026-2027. The Company has entered into vendor relationships with over 40 infrastructure suppliers including Schneider Electric, Vertiv, Corning, and CommScope, enabling capital-efficient deployment support for hyperscale and enterprise data center projects.
Capital Discipline and Execution Focus
Management believes this strategy enables a capital-efficient growth model that balances infrastructure ownership with services-based revenue, supports disciplined deployment pacing, and mitigates risks associated with large, centralized data center development. The Company intends to continue refining this model as market conditions and customer demand evolve.
This integrated model is intended to support both the Company's owned and operated infrastructure footprint as well as third-party customer deployments.
| S-3 |
Strategic Focus: Digital Infrastructure and Edge Data Centers
The Company is focused on expanding a distributed digital infrastructure platform designed to support:
| · | AI and machine learning workloads |
| · | Edge and latency-sensitive applications |
| · | Carrier-neutral connectivity |
| · | Regional and underserved market deployments |
| · | Enterprise and public-sector digital modernization initiatives |
Through Duos Edge AI, the Company's flagship subsidiary and primary growth driver, the Company develops and operates modular, rapidly deployable Edge Data Centers ("EDCs") intended to bring enterprise-grade AI compute capacity to underserved Tier 3 and Tier 4 markets. These facilities feature a patented clean-room modular design, 90-day deployment cycles, N+1 redundant infrastructure, and SOC 2 Type II certification, and are designed to support localized AI inference, high-performance compute, and scalable capacity without the capital intensity typically associated with traditional hyperscale development. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, the Company has deployed 15 EDCs representing approximately 10 MW of operational capacity, with plans to expand toward a 25 MW platform in the near term.
The Company's strategy includes:
| · | Deploying EDCs in Tier 2-4 and underserved markets |
| · | Supporting education, healthcare, service providers, and enterprise customers |
| · | Enabling AI inference and distributed compute use cases |
| · | Building a repeatable, capital-efficient deployment model |
| · | Expanding recurring revenue opportunities through colocation and infrastructure services |
While in the short term, the Company continues to maintain certain legacy technology solutions, these offerings are no longer the primary strategic growth driver and the Company has no further plans to invest in these legacy technologies.
Infrastructure Solutions and "White-Glove" Supply Chain Services
Complementing its EDC platform, the Company has expanded into data center infrastructure solutions through its Duos Technologies Solutions business unit. This business provides:
| · | Manufacturer-agnostic sourcing of power, connectivity, thermal, and IT infrastructure |
| · | Project-based procurement and logistics coordination |
| · | Vendor management and quality assurance |
| · | Streamlined fulfillment for multi-site rollouts |
| · | Deployment support for both internal and third-party infrastructure projects |
The Company's services are intended to function as a "white-glove" extension of customer procurement and deployment teams, helping reduce lead times, mitigate supply chain risk, and improve execution speed across complex infrastructure programs.
These capabilities position the Company to support:
| · | Hyperscaler and AI ecosystem participants |
| · | Colocation operators |
| · | Telecommunications and fiber providers |
| · | Enterprise and industrial customers |
| · | Public sector and education networks |
By combining localized edge infrastructure with value-added sourcing and fulfillment, the Company seeks to participate in multiple layers of the digital infrastructure value chain.
Technology and Intellectual Property
The Company has developed proprietary technologies and holds patents and other intellectual property related to modular infrastructure design, edge computing deployment methodologies, and intelligent data processing. The Company also utilizes commercially available hardware and third-party components integrated into its engineered solutions.
The Company protects its intellectual property through a combination of:
| · | Patents and trademarks |
| · | Confidentiality and assignment agreements |
| · | Vendor and partner contractual protections |
Rapid technological change, evolving customer requirements, and competitive innovation may affect the Company's ability to maintain or extend its technological differentiation. The Company vigorously defends its intellectual property where it believes infringements have occurred.
| S-4 |
Legacy Intelligent Technology Solutions
Historically, the Company designed, developed, and deployed intelligent inspection and analytics solutions utilizing machine vision and artificial intelligence for transportation and logistics applications. These capabilities contributed to the Company's software, AI, and systems integration expertise. One of the developments this produced was the Edge Data Center, used for processing large amounts of digital images that could not be efficiently processed using "the cloud". The Company is now leading with that development as a distinct business due to the much larger potential growth expected from deploying these units in certain markets.
Although certain legacy solutions remain in operation and may continue to generate revenue, the Company's current strategic emphasis is the expansion of its digital infrastructure and data center-related services. The Company does not intend to invest further resources in these legacy businesses and may look to monetize them in the near future.
Growth Strategy
The Company's growth strategy is centered on:
| · | Expanding its distributed Edge Data Center footprint |
| · | Increasing recurring infrastructure and colocation revenue |
| · | Scaling its infrastructure sourcing and fulfillment platform |
| · | Developing strategic relationships across the data center and AI ecosystem |
| · | Pursuing selective partnerships or acquisitions that enhance infrastructure capabilities |
Execution of this strategy may require continued investment in deployment, supply chain coordination, personnel, and customer acquisition. Market adoption, capital availability, competitive dynamics, and macroeconomic conditions may affect the pace of growth.
Industry Positioning
The Company operates within the broader digital infrastructure and data center ecosystem, which includes hyperscale providers, colocation operators, telecommunications carriers, infrastructure integrators, and equipment manufacturers. The market is characterized by:
| · | Rapid growth in AI and data-intensive workloads |
| · | Increasing demand for distributed and edge compute capacity |
| · | Long sales cycles for infrastructure projects |
| · | Supply chain constraints affecting equipment availability |
| · | Significant capital requirements |
The Company seeks to differentiate through a combination of modular deployment capability, localized infrastructure strategy, and value-added supply chain and fulfillment services.
Competitive Strengths
We believe the Company is differentiated by the following competitive strengths:
Purpose-Built Modular Edge Infrastructure Platform
We have developed and deployed patented, modular Edge Data Centers ("EDCs") with an architecture designed for rapid deployment, operational efficiency, and scalability. Our EDCs are engineered to deliver enterprise-grade compute, storage, and connectivity closer to end users, supporting low-latency workloads and distributed AI inference without reliance on centralized hyperscale facilities. Our intellectual property includes a recently awarded patent for a "clean room" entry and access facility on each EDC which aims to protect the highly sensitive and expensive equipment within the EDC.
Integrated Infrastructure and Services Model
Through our operating subsidiaries, we combine infrastructure ownership, deployment expertise, and value-added infrastructure sourcing and fulfillment services. This integrated model allows us to support customers across the full infrastructure lifecycle-from design and procurement through deployment and ongoing operations-while reducing execution risk and accelerating time to service.
Capital-Efficient, Repeatable Deployment Strategy
Our modular design and standardized deployment processes enable a repeatable, capital-efficient approach to scaling digital infrastructure. By deploying infrastructure in smaller, phased increments, we reduce upfront capital requirements and align investment more closely with customer demand.
| S-5 |
Manufacturer-Agnostic Supply Chain Capabilities
Our infrastructure solutions platform operates on a vendor-neutral basis, allowing us to source, qualify, and fulfill equipment across power, connectivity, cooling, and intelligent technologies. This flexibility enhances supply chain resilience, mitigates vendor concentration risk, and enables faster response to changing customer or market conditions.
Experience in Regulated and Mission-Critical Environments
The Company has a long operating history delivering technology solutions in regulated, mission-critical environments. This experience informs our approach to reliability, security, compliance, and operational discipline across our data center and digital infrastructure offerings.
Positioned for Distributed AI and Edge Compute Demand
We believe the continued growth of AI, latency-sensitive applications, and data localization requirements is driving increased demand for distributed infrastructure models. Our solution services are designed to support these workloads at the network edge, particularly in markets that are underserved by traditional data center development.
Employees
As of June 12, 2026, the Company employed approximately 43 personnel, the majority of whom are full-time and based in the Jacksonville, Florida area. During 2025 to present, the Company implemented a targeted workforce reduction to better align resources with its strategic focus on digital infrastructure and Edge AI solutions. None of the Company's employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement.
Corporate History
Information Systems Associates, Inc. ("ISA") was incorporated in Florida on May 31, 1994 and initially provided consulting services related to enterprise data center asset management and IT asset management software. In 2015, ISA completed a reverse triangular merger with Duos Technologies, Inc. ("duostech®"), a Florida-based technology company specializing in the design, development, and deployment of proprietary technology applications and engineered systems. Following the transaction, ISA changed its name to Duos Technologies Group, Inc.
Today, the Company operates as a technology and digital infrastructure company headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, focused on the design, deployment, and operation of intelligent technology and infrastructure solutions. The Company conducts its activities through several operating subsidiaries, including Duos Edge AI, formed in late 2024, which develops and deploys modular Edge Data Centers ("EDCs") to provide localized compute, storage, and connectivity. Duos Edge AI includes our Technology Solutions business unit, which delivers manufacturer-agnostic infrastructure sourcing, integration, and value-added supply chain services supporting data center, AI, and enterprise deployments. The Company continues to maintain its portfolio of intelligent technology and analytics solutions with Duos Technologies, Inc., while expanding into digital infrastructure and distributed compute markets.
| S-6 |
Duos Energy Corporation and Asset Management Agreement
In late 2024, the Company formed Duos Energy Corporation ("Duos Energy") with the express purpose of providing consulting services and solutions for the rapidly growing demand for electrical power outside of traditional utilities. In December 2024, Sawgrass Buyer LLC (now known as New APR Energy, LLC ("New APR")) entered into an Asset Management Agreement ("AMA") with the Company under which a substantial portion of Company staff would oversee the operations of New APR. The AMA has a two-year term with customary cancellation provisions. The Company's staff is engaged directly to supply power solutions for multiple uses including for large data centers supporting AI "hyperscalers".
The scope of the AMA was reduced during 2026 as the parties transitioned towards conclusion of the arrangement. On May 26, 2026, substantially all of the assets of New APR were sold to a third party, and the Company received approximately $50.4 million related to its 5% non-voting ownership interest in Sawgrass APR Holdings, LLC, the ultimate parent of New APR, with an additional approximately $9.9 million retained in escrow subject to indemnity and other customary obligations. Revenue from the AMA has declined in line with the reduced scope; however, management believes the Company's Technology Solutions and Edge Data Center businesses are positioned to more than offset this transition through recurring digital infrastructure revenue.
Our principal executive office is located at 7660 Centurion Parkway, Suite 100, Jacksonville, Florida 32256, and our telephone number is (904) 296-2807.

Recent Developments
In May 2026, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a GPU infrastructure loan agreement (the "GPU Loan Agreement") with GPU Finance Ltd., for aggregate borrowings of up to $98.1 million to fund the purchase of GPU servers and related infrastructure for our Columbus, Georgia Edge Data Center facility subject to customary closing conditions which are expected to be satisfied within the next 30 days. The GPU Loan Agreement provides an asset based secured, hardware-collateralized credit facility to support our GPU-as-a-Service deployment in Columbus, Georgia, where we expect to deploy approximately 10 megawatts of AI compute capacity with revenue commencement expected in August 2026. The GPU Loan Agreement represents a key component of our overall financing strategy to fund our 36-month GPU-as-a-Service contract with Hydra Host, Inc.
Effective April 1, 2026, the Board of Directors appointed Doug Recker as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company. Mr. Recker served as President since September 2025 and has been the President and Founder of Duos Edge AI since July 2024. In connection with Mr. Recker's appointment, Charles Ferry, our former Chief Executive Officer, resigned as Chief Executive Officer effective April 1, 2026. Mr. Ferry continues as a Director of the Company. On May 14, 2026, Mr. Recker was elected to the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. Ferry continues as Chief Executive Officer of New APR Energy, LLC, in which the Company previously held a 5% equity interest.
Effective June 8, 2026 the Company appointed Adrian Goldfarb as Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company, replacing Leah Brown, who served as Chief Financial Officer since November 2025. Ms. Brown continues to serve the Company in another capacity.

We cannot specify with certainty the particular uses of the net proceeds we will receive from this offering, and these uses may vary from our current plans. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, including for any of the purposes described in "Use of Proceeds." Accordingly, you will have to rely upon the judgment of our management with respect to the use of the proceeds. Our management may spend a portion or all of the net proceeds from this offering in ways that holders of our common stock may not desire or that may not yield a significant return or any return at all. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may also invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.
If you purchase the securities being offered in this offering, you will experience immediate dilution as a result of this offering.
Since the price per share of our common stock and value of our Pre-Funded Warrants being offered is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. After giving effect to the sale by us of 5,800,000 shares of our common stock (assuming exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants) at the offering price of $9.50 per share of common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants, if you purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of approximately $(5.03) per share in the net tangible book value of the common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants. Any exercise or conversion of outstanding stock options, preferred stock, warrants or other equity awards will result in further dilution. See the section entitled "Dilution" in this prospectus supplement for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase common stock in this offering.
Holders of Pre-Funded Warrants purchased in this offering will have no rights as holders of common stock until such holders exercise their Pre-Funded Warrants and acquire our common stock.
Until holders of Pre-Funded Warrants acquire shares of our common stock upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, holders of Pre-Funded Warrants will have no rights with respect to the shares of our common stock underlying such Pre-Funded Warrants. Upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the holders will be entitled to exercise the rights of a holder of common stock only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.
Significant holders or beneficial holders of shares of our common stock may not be permitted to exercise the Pre-Funded Warrants that they hold.
A holder (together with its affiliates and other attribution parties) may not exercise any portion of a Pre-Funded Warrant to the extent that immediately prior to or after giving effect to such exercise the holder would own more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock immediately after exercise, which percentage may be changed at the holder's election to a higher or lower percentage not in excess of 9.99%. As a result, the holder may not be able to exercise its Pre-Funded Warrants for shares of our common stock at a time when it would be financially beneficial for the holder to do so. In such a circumstance, the holder could seek to sell its Pre-Funded Warrants to realize value, but the holder may be unable to do so in the absence of an established trading market and due to applicable transfer restrictions.
| S-9 |
Future sales of our common stock could lower our stock price and dilute existing stockholders.
We may, in the future, sell additional shares of common stock in subsequent public or private offerings. We cannot predict the size of future issuances of our common stock or the effect, if any, that future sales and issuances of shares of our common stock will have on the market price of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock. In addition, these sales may be dilutive to existing stockholders.
A large number of shares may be sold in the market following this offering, which may depress the market price of our common stock.
All of our shares of common stock sold in the offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. As a result, a substantial number of our shares of common stock may be sold in the public market following this offering, which may cause the market price of our common stock to decline. If there are more shares of common stock offered for sale than buyers are willing to purchase, then the market price of our common stock may decline to a market price at which buyers are willing to purchase the offered shares of common stock and sellers remain willing to sell the shares of common stock.
Our outstanding options, warrants and preferred stock and the availability for resale of the underlying shares may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
As of June 12, 2026, there were outstanding stock options to purchase 203,756 shares of our common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $5.45 per share, outstanding warrants to purchase 733,556 shares of our common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $8.26 per share and shares of preferred stock convertible into 5,122,273 shares of our common stock at a weighted-average conversion price of $2.63 per share. Our outstanding options, warrants, and preferred stock could adversely affect our ability to obtain future financing or engage in certain mergers or other transactions, since the holders of options, warrants, and preferred stock can be expected to exercise or convert them at a time when we may be able to obtain additional capital through a new offering of securities on terms more favorable to us than the terms of outstanding options, warrants or preferred stock. The issuance of shares upon the exercise or conversion of outstanding options, warrants, or preferred stock will also dilute the ownership interests of our existing stockholders.
The rights of the holders of common stock may be impaired by the potential issuance of preferred stock.
Our board of directors has the right, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with voting, dividend, conversion, liquidation or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power and equity interest of the holders of common stock, which could be issued with the right to more than one vote per share, and could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change of control. The possible negative impact on takeover attempts could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of preferred stock or to create any new series of preferred stock, we may issue such shares in the future.
Because we do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock, stockholders will benefit from an investment in our stock only if it appreciates in value.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our shares of common stock. We currently intend to retain all future earnings, if any, for use in the operations and expansion of the business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on factors the Board of Directors deems relevant, including, among others, our results of operations, financial condition and cash requirements, business prospects, and the terms of our financing arrangements, if any. Accordingly, realization of a gain on stockholders' investments will depend on the appreciation of the price of our common stock. There is no guarantee that our common stock will appreciate in value.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We expect to receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately $51.6 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We plan to use such proceeds for the following purposes: (i) power infrastructure investment and site development, including potential acquisition of real estate and real property rights necessary to secure power-accessible sites to support future Edge Data Center deployments; (ii) equipment procurement for GPU servers, networking equipment, cooling systems, and related infrastructure to deploy additional megawatts of AI infrastructure capacity; (iii) additional megawatt deployment at our planned sites, including our Infrastructure-as-a-Service projects in Amarillo, Texas (10 MW planned capacity) and Muscatine, Iowa (10 MW planned capacity), as well as our GPU-as-a-Service deployment in Columbus, Georgia (10 MW deployed capacity, revenue commencement expected August 2026); and (iv) working capital and general corporate purposes. We believe the proceeds from this offering, together with our existing cash resources (approximately $68 million following receipt of the APR Energy asset sale proceeds in June 2026) and the GPU Loan Agreement, provide sufficient capital to execute our current 25 MW deployment plan.
The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the factors described under "Risk Factors" in this prospectus supplement and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, as well as the amount of cash used in our operations. We may find it necessary or advisable to use the net proceeds for other purposes, and we will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds. Pending the uses described above, we plan to invest the net proceeds from this offering in short- and intermediate-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments.
| S-11 |
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings, if any, for use in our business. We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. Any future determination related to our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other factors, our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, business prospects and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant.

DILUTION
If you purchase securities in this offering, your interest will be immediately and substantially diluted to the extent of the difference between the offering price per share of our common stock in this offering and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock after giving effect to this offering. We calculate net tangible book value per share by dividing our net tangible assets (tangible assets less total liabilities) by the number of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.
Our net tangible book value as of March 31, 2026 was approximately $106,619,970, or approximately $3.61 per share of common stock. After giving effect to the sale of 5,800,000 shares (which assumes the exercise of all Pre-Funded Warrants sold in this offering) in this offering at the offering price of $9.50 per share, and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value at March 31, 2026 would have been $158,213,970, or $4.47 per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of approximately $0.87 per share to our existing stockholders, and an immediate dilution of $5.03 per share to the investor purchasing securities in the offering.
The net tangible book value figures described above are calculated as of March 31, 2026. Subsequent to that date, on May 26, 2026, the sale of substantially all of the assets of New APR Energy, LLC was completed, as previously disclosed. The Company received approximately $50.4 million in connection with this transaction related to its 5% non-voting ownership interest in Sawgrass APR Holdings, LLC (with approximately $9.9 million retained in escrow subject to customary indemnity obligations). This transaction resulted in an estimated gain to equity of approximately $43 million and would, if reflected as of March 31, 2026, increase our net tangible book value to approximately $149.8 million, or approximately $5.07 per share of common stock based on shares outstanding at March 31, 2026. The foregoing adjusted figures are presented for informational purposes only and do not reflect other changes in our financial condition subsequent to March 31, 2026.
Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by the investor of our common stock in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering. The following table illustrates the per share dilution to the investor purchasing securities in the offering:
| Public offering price per share | $ | 9.50 | ||
| Net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2026 | 3.61 | |||
| Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering | 0.87 | |||
| Adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering | 4.47 | |||
| Amount of dilution in net tangible book value per share to the new investor in this offering | $ | (5.03 | ) |
To the extent that outstanding options or warrants are exercised or shares of preferred stock are converted, or any additional options, or other equity awards are granted and exercised or become vested or other issuances of shares of our common stock are made, you will experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of common stock or securities exercisable, convertible or exchangeable into common stock, such issuance could result in further dilution to our stockholders.
The discussion and table above are based on 29,323,469 shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2026, and excludes:
| ● | 325,003 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of options to purchase shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2026, with a weighted average exercise price of $5.16 per share; | |
| ● | 808,610 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants at a weighted average exercise price of $8.16 per share; | |
| ● | 2,323,327 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our Equity Incentive Plans; | |
|
● |
333,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock; and | |
| ● | 4,789,273 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock. |
Except as otherwise indicated, all information in this prospectus supplement assumes no exercise or conversion of the outstanding options, warrants or preferred stock described above. To the extent that any of our outstanding securities are exercised or converted, we grant additional options or other awards under our stock incentive plan or issue additional securities or we issue additional shares of common stock in the future, investors may experience further dilution. The table above also assumes no exercise or conversion of the outstanding options, warrants or preferred stock described above.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES WE ARE OFFERING
Common Stock
We are offering shares of our common stock in this offering. See "Description of Capital Stock" and "Common Stock" in our base prospectus and "Description of the Company's Securities Registered Pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934" filed as Exhibit 4.4 to our Annual Report on 10-K for more information regarding our shares of common stock.
Pre-Funded Warrants
The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the Pre-Funded Warrants that are being offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the Pre-Funded Warrant, the form of which will be filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K in connection with this offering and incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement forms a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of Pre-Funded Warrant for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the Pre-Funded Warrants.
Duration and exercise price. Each Pre-Funded Warrant offered hereby will have an initial exercise price per share equal to $0.001. 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.
Exercisability. The Pre-Funded 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 such holder's Pre-Funded Warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days' written prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase or decrease the amount of ownership of outstanding shares of common stock after exercising the holder's Pre-Funded Warrants up to 9.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Pre-Funded Warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will either pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price or round up to the next whole share.
Cashless exercise. If at the time of exercise, there is no effective registration statement registering the issuance of the shares upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Pre-Funded Warrants.
Fundamental transactions. In the event of any fundamental transaction, as described in the Pre-Funded Warrants and generally including any merger with or into another entity, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, tender offer or exchange offer, or reclassification of our shares of common stock, then upon any subsequent exercise of a Pre-Funded Warrant, the holder will have the right to receive as alternative consideration, for each share of common stock that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such fundamental transaction, the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of our company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration receivable upon or as a result of such transaction by a holder of the number of shares of common stock for which the Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event.
Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, the Pre-Funded Warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent. The ownership of the Pre-Funded Warrants and any transfers of the Pre-Funded Warrants will be registered in a warrant register.
Exchange listing. There is no established trading market for the Pre-Funded Warrants. We do not intend to list the Pre-Funded Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.
No rights as a stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in the Pre-Funded Warrants or by virtue of such holder's ownership of shares of our common stock, the holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our common stock, including any voting rights, until such Pre-Funded Warrant holders exercise their Pre-Funded Warrants.
| S-15 |
UNDERWRITING
We and the underwriters for the offering named below have entered into an underwriting agreement with respect to the common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants being offered. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, each underwriter has severally agreed to purchase from us the number of shares of our common stock set forth opposite its name below. TD Securities (USA) LLC is the representative of the underwriters.
| Underwriter | Number of Shares | Number of Pre-Funded Warrants | ||||||
| TD Securities (USA) LLC | 1,600,000 | 3,040,000 | ||||||
| Cantor Fitzgerald & Co | 400,000 | 760,000 | ||||||
| Total | 2,000,000 | 3,800,000 | ||||||
The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters are subject to certain conditions precedent and that the underwriters have agreed, severally and not jointly, to purchase all of the shares and Pre-Funded Warrants sold under the underwriting agreement if any of these shares and Pre-Funded Warrants are purchased. If an underwriter defaults, the underwriting agreement provides that the purchase commitments of the non-defaulting underwriters may be increased or the underwriting agreement may be terminated.
We agreed to indemnify the underwriters against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, and to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.
The underwriters are offering the shares and Pre-Funded Warrants, subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, subject to approval of legal matters by their counsel and other conditions specified in the underwriting agreement. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.
Discounts and Commissions. The following table shows the public offering price, underwriting discounts and commissions and proceeds, before expenses to us.
Expenses. We estimate that the total expenses of the offering, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $200,000 and are payable by us.
| S-16 |
|
Total |
||||||||
| Per Share | Per Pre-Funded Warrant | |||||||
| Public offering price | $ | 9.50 | $ | 9.499 | ||||
| Underwriting discounts and commissions | 0.57 | 0.57 | ||||||
| Proceeds, before expenses, to Company | $ | 17,860,000 | $ | 33,930,200 | ||||
The underwriters propose to offer the shares of common stock to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus supplement. The underwriters may offer the shares of common stock to securities dealers at the public offering price less a concession not in excess of $0.57 per share. If all of the shares are not sold at the public offering price, the underwriters may change the offering price and other selling terms. Sales of any shares of common stock may be made by affiliates of the underwriters.
Discretionary Accounts. The underwriters do not intend to confirm sales of the shares to any accounts over which they have discretionary authority.
Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "DUOT".
Stabilization. In connection with this offering, the underwriters (and their affiliates) may engage in stabilizing transactions, overallotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions, penalty bids and purchases to cover positions created by short sales.
| · | Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase shares of common stock so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum and are engaged in for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock while the offering is in progress. | |
| · | Overallotment transactions involve sales by the underwriters of shares of common stock in excess of the number of shares the underwriters are obligated to purchase. This creates a syndicate short position which may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares over-allotted by the underwriters is not greater than the number of shares that they may purchase. In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares that they may purchase. The underwriters may close out any short position by purchasing shares in the open market. | |
| · | Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared with the price at which they may purchase shares. If the underwriters sell more shares than could be covered and, therefore, have a naked short position, the position can be closed out only by buying shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that after pricing there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. | |
| · | Penalty bids permit the representative to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the common stock originally sold by that syndicate member is purchased in stabilizing or syndicate covering transactions to cover syndicate short positions. |
These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock in the open market may be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of these transactions. Neither we nor the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq Stock Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
Passive Market Making. In connection with this offering, underwriters (and their affiliates) and selling group members may engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of common stock and extending through the completion of the distribution. A passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker's bid, such bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.
| S-17 |
Lock-Up Agreements. Pursuant to certain ''lock-up'' agreements, we and our executive officers, directors and certain of our other stockholders, have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to and will not cause or direct any of its affiliates to offer, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of or announce the intention to otherwise dispose of, or enter into, or announce the intention to enter into any swap, hedge or similar agreement or arrangement (including, without limitation, the purchase or sale of, or entry into, any put or call option, or combination thereof, forward, swap or any other derivative transaction or instrument, however described or defined) that transfers, is designed to transfer or reasonably could be expected to transfer (whether by the stockholder or someone other than the stockholder) the economic consequence of ownership of, directly or indirectly, or make any demand or request or exercise any right with respect to the registration of, or file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to, any common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any common stock without the prior written consent of TD Securities (USA) LLC, for a period of 90 days after the date of the pricing of the offering.
This lock-up provision applies to common stock and to securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for common stock. It also applies to common stock owned now or acquired later by the person executing the agreement or for which the person executing the agreement later acquires the power of disposition, including any shares acquired by our officers in the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Program. The exceptions permit us, among other things and subject to restrictions, to: (a) issue common stock or options pursuant to employee benefit plans, (b) issue common stock upon exercise of outstanding options or warrants, (c) issue securities in connection with acquisitions or similar transactions, or (d) file registration statements on Form S-8. The exceptions permit parties to the ''lock-up'' agreements, among other things and subject to restrictions, to: (a) make certain gifts, (b) if the party is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity, make transfers to any shareholders, partners, members of, or owners of similar equity interests in, or beneficiary (in the case of a trust ) of, the party, or to an affiliate of the party, if such transfer is not for value, (c) if the party is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity, make transfers in connection with the sale or transfer of all of the party's capital stock, partnership interests, membership interests or other similar equity interests, as the case may be, or all or substantially all of the party's assets, in any such case not undertaken for the purpose of avoiding the restrictions imposed by the "lock-up" agreement and (d) participate in a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or similar transaction made to all holders of our stock involving a change of control of the Company which is approved by our Board of Directors. In addition, the lock-up provision will not restrict broker-dealers from engaging in market making and similar activities conducted in the ordinary course of their business.
Selling Restrictions

THE COMPANY
Overview
Headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, the Company operates through several wholly owned subsidiaries, including Duos Edge AI, Inc., Duos Technologies, Inc., and Duos Energy Corporation. Duos is a technology-driven infrastructure solutions provider focused on the design, deployment, and operation of intelligent digital infrastructure supporting artificial intelligence ("AI"), edge computing, and mission-critical connectivity. The Company's current strategic priority is the expansion of its patented, modular data center and related IT infrastructure solution services.
Evolution of the Company's Strategy
Over the past several years, the Company has evolved from a technology developer and provider, primarily focused on automated inspection and analytics solutions, toward a broader digital infrastructure platform centered on edge computing and distributed data center deployments.
While our legacy solutions demonstrated the value of localized computing power, real-time data processing, and AI-enabled analytics in mission-critical environments, market dynamics and customer demand increasingly favor infrastructure-centric solutions that bring compute and connectivity closer to the point of use. This evolution has guided our strategic expansion into modular Edge Data Centers and infrastructure solutions and services.
Continued Support of Existing Solutions
The Company continues to support and operate its existing technology platforms and customer deployments. We believe our prior experience in deploying edge compute systems, operating in regulated environments, and managing complex installations provides a strong foundation for our digital infrastructure initiatives.
Expansion Into Digital Infrastructure and Edge Data Centers
During fiscal 2024, the Company significantly expanded its focus on deploying modular EDCs and building a repeatable platform to support distributed compute workloads across education, healthcare, service provider, enterprise, and public sector customers. These deployments are designed to generate both initial deployment revenue and long-term recurring revenue streams tied to infrastructure utilization and services.
Infrastructure Solutions and Value-Added Services
In addition to owning and deploying infrastructure, the Company recently launched Dous Technologies Solutions, an infrastructure solutions line of business as a complementary business unit to Duos Edge AI that provides manufacturer-agnostic sourcing, logistics coordination, and fulfillment services. This expansion leverages internal expertise while addressing customer demand for supply chain resilience, reduced lead times, and execution certainty in a constrained AI digital infrastructure market.
Capital Discipline and Execution Focus
Management believes this strategy enables a capital-efficient growth model that balances infrastructure ownership with services-based revenue, supports disciplined deployment pacing, and mitigates risks associated with large, centralized data center development. The Company intends to continue refining this model as market conditions and customer demand evolve.
This integrated model is intended to support both the Company's owned and operated infrastructure footprint as well as third-party customer deployments.
| 3 |
Strategic Focus: Digital Infrastructure and Edge Data Centers
Duos is focused on expanding a distributed digital infrastructure platform designed to support:
| · | AI and machine learning workloads |
| · | Edge and latency-sensitive applications |
| · | Carrier-neutral connectivity |
| · | Regional and underserved market deployments |
| · | Enterprise and public-sector digital modernization initiatives |
Through Duos Edge AI, the Company's flagship subsidiary expected to generate most if not all of the anticipated growth going forward, the Company develops modular, rapidly deployable Edge Data Centers intended to bring enterprise-grade computing capacity closer to end users. These facilities are designed to support localized processing, improved network performance, and scalable capacity without the capital intensity typically associated with traditional hyperscale development.
The Company's strategy includes:
| · | Deploying EDCs in Tier 2-4 and underserved markets |
| · | Supporting education, healthcare, service providers, and enterprise customers |
| · | Enabling AI inference and distributed compute use cases |
| · | Building a repeatable, capital-efficient deployment model |
| · | Expanding recurring revenue opportunities through colocation and infrastructure services |
While in the short term, the Company continues to maintain certain legacy technology solutions, these offerings are no longer the primary strategic growth driver and the Company has no further plans to invest in these legacy technologies.
Infrastructure Solutions and "White-Glove" Supply Chain Services
Complementing its EDC platform, Duos has expanded into data center infrastructure solutions through its Duos Technologies Solutions business unit. This business provides:
| · | Manufacturer-agnostic sourcing of power, connectivity, thermal, and IT infrastructure |
| · | Project-based procurement and logistics coordination |
| · | Vendor management and quality assurance |
| · | Streamlined fulfillment for multi-site rollouts |
| · | Deployment support for both internal and third-party infrastructure projects |
The Company's services are intended to function as a "white-glove" extension of customer procurement and deployment teams, helping reduce lead times, mitigate supply chain risk, and improve execution speed across complex infrastructure programs.
These capabilities position Duos to support:
| · | Hyperscaler and AI ecosystem participants |
| · | Colocation operators |
| · | Telecommunications and fiber providers |
| · | Enterprise and industrial customers |
| · | Public sector and education networks |
By combining localized edge infrastructure with value-added sourcing and fulfillment, the Company seeks to participate in multiple layers of the digital infrastructure value chain.
Technology and Intellectual Property
Duos has developed proprietary technologies and holds patents and other intellectual property related to modular infrastructure design, edge computing deployment methodologies, and intelligent data processing. The Company also utilizes commercially available hardware and third-party components integrated into its engineered solutions.
The Company protects its intellectual property through a combination of:
| · | Patents and trademarks |
| · | Confidentiality and assignment agreements |
| · | Vendor and partner contractual protections |
| 4 |
Rapid technological change, evolving customer requirements, and competitive innovation may affect the Company's ability to maintain or extend its technological differentiation. The Company vigorously defends its intellectual property where it believes infringements have occurred.
Legacy Intelligent Technology Solutions
Historically, the Company designed, developed, and deployed intelligent inspection and analytics solutions utilizing machine vision and artificial intelligence for transportation and logistics applications. These capabilities contributed to the Company's software, AI, and systems integration expertise. One of the developments this produced was the Edge Data Center, used for processing large amounts of digital images that could not be efficiently processed using "the cloud". The Company is now leading with that development as a distinct business due to the much larger potential growth expected from deploying these units in certain markets.
Although certain legacy solutions remain in operation and may continue to generate revenue, the Company's current strategic emphasis is the expansion of its digital infrastructure and data center-related services. The Company does not intend to invest further resources in these legacy businesses and may look to monetize them in the near future.
Growth Strategy
The Company's growth strategy is centered on:
| · | Expanding its distributed Edge Data Center footprint |
| · | Increasing recurring infrastructure and colocation revenue |
| · | Scaling its infrastructure sourcing and fulfillment platform |
| · | Developing strategic relationships across the data center and AI ecosystem |
| · | Pursuing selective partnerships or acquisitions that enhance infrastructure capabilities |
Execution of this strategy may require continued investment in deployment, supply chain coordination, personnel, and customer acquisition. Market adoption, capital availability, competitive dynamics, and macroeconomic conditions may affect the pace of growth.
Industry Positioning
Duos operates within the broader digital infrastructure and data center ecosystem, which includes hyperscale providers, colocation operators, telecommunications carriers, infrastructure integrators, and equipment manufacturers. The market is characterized by:
| · | Rapid growth in AI and data-intensive workloads |
| · | Increasing demand for distributed and edge compute capacity |
| · | Long sales cycles for infrastructure projects |
| · | Supply chain constraints affecting equipment availability |
| · | Significant capital requirements |
The Company seeks to differentiate through a combination of modular deployment capability, localized infrastructure strategy, and value-added supply chain and fulfillment services.
Competitive Strengths
We believe the Company is differentiated by the following competitive strengths:
Purpose-Built Modular Edge Infrastructure Platform
We have developed and deployed patented, modular Edge Data Centers ("EDCs") with an architecture designed for rapid deployment, operational efficiency, and scalability. Our EDCs are engineered to deliver enterprise-grade compute, storage, and connectivity closer to end users, supporting low-latency workloads and distributed AI inference without reliance on centralized hyperscale facilities. Our intellectual property includes a recently awarded patent for a "clean room" entry and access facility on each EDC which aims to protect the highly sensitive and expensive equipment within the EDC.
Integrated Infrastructure and Services Model
Through our operating subsidiaries, we combine infrastructure ownership, deployment expertise, and value-added infrastructure sourcing and fulfillment services. This integrated model allows us to support customers across the full infrastructure lifecycle-from design and procurement through deployment and ongoing operations-while reducing execution risk and accelerating time to service.
Capital-Efficient, Repeatable Deployment Strategy
Our modular design and standardized deployment processes enable a repeatable, capital-efficient approach to scaling digital infrastructure. By deploying infrastructure in smaller, phased increments, we reduce upfront capital requirements and align investment more closely with customer demand.
| 5 |
Manufacturer-Agnostic Supply Chain Capabilities
Our infrastructure solutions platform operates on a vendor-neutral basis, allowing us to source, qualify, and fulfill equipment across power, connectivity, cooling, and intelligent technologies. This flexibility enhances supply chain resilience, mitigates vendor concentration risk, and enables faster response to changing customer or market conditions.
Experience in Regulated and Mission-Critical Environments
The Company has a long operating history delivering technology solutions in regulated, mission-critical environments. This experience informs our approach to reliability, security, compliance, and operational discipline across our data center and digital infrastructure offerings.
Positioned for Distributed AI and Edge Compute Demand
We believe the continued growth of AI, latency-sensitive applications, and data localization requirements is driving increased demand for distributed infrastructure models. Our solution services is designed to support these workloads at the network edge, particularly in markets that are underserved by traditional data center development.
Employees
As of February 10, 2026, the Company employed approximately 35 personnel, the majority of whom are full-time and based in the Jacksonville, Florida area. During 2025 to present, the Company implemented a targeted workforce reduction to better align resources with its strategic focus on digital infrastructure and Edge AI solutions. None of the Company's employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement.

Duos Energy Corporation and Asset Management Agreement
In late 2024, the Company formed Duos Energy Corporation ("Duos Energy") with the express purpose of providing consulting services and solutions for the rapidly growing demand for electrical power outside of traditional utilities. In December 2024, Sawgrass Buyer LLC (now known as New APR Energy, LLC) entered into an Asset Management Agreement ("AMA") with the Company under which a substantial portion of Company staff would oversee the operations of New APR. The AMA has a two-year term with customary cancellation provisions. The Company's staff is engaged directly to supply power solutions for multiple uses including for large data centers supporting AI "hyperscalers".
The expected services provided from the Company under the AMA have been modified for 2026, and as a result, revenue previously referenced in earlier communications will not reach the originally indicated levels. Management believes the Company's Technology Solutions business line is positioned to offset variability through project-based infrastructure revenue. While competition exists across the digital infrastructure and power markets, current industry conditions characterized by constrained power availability and increasing demand for AI and data center capacity may create opportunities for the Company to selectively expand deployments; however, the timing, scale, and financial impact of these opportunities remain subject to market conditions, partner execution, and customer demand.

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, principally in the sections entitled "Risk Factors." All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this prospectus, including statements regarding future events, our future financial performance, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements.

These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks outlined under "Risk Factors" or elsewhere in this prospectus.

Common Stock
Each share of our common stock entitles its holder to one vote in the election of each director and on all other matters voted on generally by our stockholders. No share of our common stock affords any cumulative voting rights. This means that the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect all directors to be elected if they choose to do so.
Holders of our common stock will be entitled to dividends in such amounts and at such times as our Board of Directors in its discretion may declare out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. We currently do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends will be paid at the discretion of our Board of Directors after taking into account various factors, including:
| · | general business conditions; | |
| · | industry practice; | |
| · | our financial condition and performance; | |
| · | our future prospects; | |
| · | our cash needs and capital investment plans; | |
| · | our obligations to holders of any preferred stock we may issue; | |
| · | income tax consequences; and | |
| · | the restrictions Florida and other applicable laws and our credit arrangements may impose, from time to time. |
If we liquidate or dissolve our business, the holders of our common stock will share ratably in all our assets that are available for distribution to our stockholders after our creditors are paid in full and the holders of all series of our outstanding preferred stock, if any, receive their liquidation preferences in full.
Our common stock has no preemptive rights and is not convertible or redeemable or entitled to the benefits of any sinking or repurchase fund.
| 9 |
Preferred Stock
The Company has 10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock par value $0.001 per share, which have six series. As of February 6, 2026, the Series A Preferred Stock has 0 shares issued and outstanding, the Series B Preferred Stock has 0 shares issued and outstanding, the Series C Preferred Stock has 0 shares issued and outstanding, the Series D Preferred Stock has 999 shares issued and outstanding, the Series E Preferred Stock has 12,500 shares issued and outstanding and the Series F Preferred Stock has 0 shares issued and outstanding.
Our Board has the authority, within the limitations and restrictions in our certificate of incorporation, to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of any series, without further vote or action by the stockholders. The issuance of shares of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our control without further action by the stockholders. The issuance of shares of preferred stock with voting and conversion rights may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our common stock. In some circumstances, this issuance could have the effect of decreasing the market price of our common stock.
Undesignated preferred stock may enable our Board to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise, and thereby to protect the continuity of our management. The issuance of shares of preferred stock may adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. For example, any shares of preferred stock issued may rank senior to the common stock as to dividend rights, liquidation preference or both, may have full or limited voting rights and may be convertible into shares of common stock. As a result, the issuance of shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase shares of preferred stock, may discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal or bids for our common stock or may otherwise adversely affect the market price of our common stock or any existing preferred stock.

Anti-Takeover Provisions
Florida Anti-Takeover Law and Certain Charter and Bylaw Provisions
Certain provisions of Florida law and our Charter and bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, summarized below, may discourage certain types of takeover practices and takeover bids, and encourage persons seeking to acquire control of our company to first negotiate with us. We believe that the potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweighs the disadvantages of discouraging such proposals because, among other things, negotiation of such proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Florida Law
As a Florida corporation, we are subject to certain anti-takeover provisions that apply to public corporations under Florida law.
Pursuant to Section 607.0901 of the Florida Business Corporation Act, or the FBCA, a publicly held Florida corporation may not engage in a broad range of business combinations or other extraordinary corporate transactions with an interested shareholder without the approval of the holders of two-thirds of the voting shares of the corporation (excluding shares held by the interested shareholder), unless:
The transaction is approved by a majority of disinterested directors before the shareholder becomes an interested shareholder;
The interested shareholder has owned at least 80% of the corporation's outstanding voting shares for at least five years preceding the announcement date of any such business combination;
The interested shareholder is the beneficial owner of at least 90% of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, exclusive of shares acquired directly from the corporation in a transaction not approved by a majority of the disinterested directors; or
The consideration paid to the holders of the corporation's voting stock is at least equal to certain fair price criteria.
An interested shareholder is defined as a person who, together with affiliates and associates, beneficially owns more than 10% of a corporation's outstanding voting shares. We have not made an election in our amended Articles of Incorporation to opt out of Section 607.0901.
In addition, we are subject to Section 607.0902 of the FBCA which prohibits the voting of shares in a publicly held Florida corporation that are acquired in a control share acquisition unless (i) our Board of Directors approved such acquisition prior to its consummation or (ii) after such acquisition, in lieu of prior approval by our Board of Directors, the holders of a majority of the corporation's voting shares, exclusive of shares owned by officers of the corporation, employee directors or the acquiring party, approve the granting of voting rights as to the shares acquired in the control share acquisition. A control share acquisition is defined as an acquisition that immediately thereafter entitles the acquiring party to 20% or more of the total voting power in an election of directors.

| · | whether the debt securities will be secured by any collateral and, if so, a general description of the collateral and the terms of any related security, pledge or other agreements; | |
| · | the persons to whom any interest on the debt securities will be payable, if other than the registered holders thereof on the regular record date therefor; and | |

If any interest payment date or the maturity date falls on a day that is not a business day, then the payment will be made on the next business day without additional interest and with the same effect as if it were made on the originally scheduled date. "Business day" means any calendar day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in New York, New York, and on which the trustee and commercial banks are open for business in New York, New York.
Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, each series of our senior debt securities will rank equally in right of payment with all of our other unsubordinated debt. The subordinated debt securities will rank junior in right of payment and be subordinate to all of our unsubordinated debt.
Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the trustee will act as paying agent and registrar for the debt securities under the indenture. We may act as paying agent under the indenture.
The prospectus supplement will contain a description of United States federal income tax consequences relating to the debt securities, to the extent applicable.
Covenants
The applicable prospectus supplement will describe any covenants, such as restrictive covenants restricting us or our subsidiaries, if any, from incurring, issuing, assuming or guarantying any indebtedness or restricting us or our subsidiaries, if any, from paying dividends or acquiring any of our or its capital stock.
| 13 |
Consolidation, Merger and Transfer of Assets
The indenture permits a consolidation or merger between us and another entity and/or the sale, conveyance or lease by us of all or substantially all of our property and assets, provided that:
| · | the resulting or acquiring entity, if other than us, is organized and existing under the laws of a United States jurisdiction and assumes all of our responsibilities and liabilities under the indenture, including the payment of all amounts due on the debt securities and performance of the covenants in the indenture; | |
| · | immediately after the transaction, and giving effect to the transaction, no event of default under the indenture exists; and | |
| · | we have delivered to the trustee an officers' certificate stating that the transaction and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with the transaction, the supplemental indenture comply with the indenture and that all conditions precedent to the transaction contained in the indenture have been satisfied. |
If we consolidate or merge with or into any other entity, or sell or lease all or substantially all of our assets in compliance with the terms and conditions of the indenture, the resulting or acquiring entity will be substituted for us in the indenture and the debt securities with the same effect as if it had been an original party to the indenture and the debt securities. As a result, such successor entity may exercise our rights and powers under the indenture and the debt securities, in our name and, except in the case of a lease, we will be released from all our liabilities and obligations under the indenture and under the debt securities.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may transfer all of our property and assets to another entity if, immediately after giving effect to the transfer, such entity is our wholly owned subsidiary. The term "wholly owned subsidiary" means any subsidiary in which we and/or our other wholly owned subsidiaries, if any, own all of the outstanding capital stock.
Modification and Waiver
Under the indenture, some of our rights and obligations and some of the rights of the holders of the debt securities may be modified or amended with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities affected by the modification or amendment. However, the following modifications and amendments will not be effective against any holder without its consent:
| · | a change in the stated maturity date of any payment of principal or interest; | |
| · | a reduction in the principal amount of or interest on any debt securities; | |
| · | an alteration or impairment of any right to convert at the rate or upon the terms provided in the indenture; | |
| · | a change in the currency in which any payment on the debt securities is payable; | |
| · | an impairment of a holder's right to sue us for the enforcement of payments due on the debt securities; or | |
| · | a reduction in the percentage of outstanding debt securities required to consent to a modification or amendment of the indenture or required to consent to a waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the indenture or certain defaults under the indenture. |
Under the indenture, the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities may, on behalf of all holders of the debt securities:
| · | waive compliance by us with certain restrictive provisions of the indenture; and | |
| · | waive any past default under the indenture in accordance with the applicable provisions of the indenture, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any series of debt securities. |
Events of Default
Unless we indicate otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, "event of default" under the indenture will mean, with respect to any series of debt securities, any of the following:
| · | failure to pay interest on any debt security for 30 days after the payment is due; | |
| · | failure to pay the principal of any debt security when due, either at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise; | |
| · | failure on our part to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement in the indenture that applies to the debt securities for 90 days after we have received written notice of the failure to perform in the manner specified in the indenture; and | |
| · | certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization. |
| 14 |
Remedies Upon an Event of Default
If an event of default occurs and continues, the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series may declare the entire principal of all the debt securities to be due and payable immediately, except that, if the event of default is caused by certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the entire principal of all of the debt securities of such series will become due and payable immediately without any act on the part of the trustee or holders of the debt securities. If such a declaration occurs, the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series can, subject to conditions, rescind the declaration.
The indenture requires us to furnish to the trustee not less often than annually, a certificate from our principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer, as the case may be, as to such officer's knowledge of our compliance with all conditions and covenants under the indenture. The trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any default, except defaults in the payment of principal of or interest on any debt securities if the trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of notice is in the best interests of the holders. For purposes of this paragraph, "default" means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an event of default under the indenture.
The trustee is not obligated to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request, order or direction of any holders of debt securities, unless the holders offer the trustee satisfactory security or indemnity. If satisfactory security or indemnity is provided, then, subject to other rights of the trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities may direct the time, method and place of:
| · | conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee; or | |
| · | exercising any trust or power conferred upon the trustee. |
The holder of a debt security will have the right to begin any proceeding with respect to the indenture or for any remedy only if:
| · | the holder has previously given the trustee written notice of a continuing event of default; | |
| · | the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities have made a written request of, and offered reasonable indemnity to, the trustee to begin such proceeding; | |
| · | the trustee has not started such proceeding within 60 days after receiving the request; and | |
| · | no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the trustee under the indenture. |
However, the holder of any debt security will have an absolute right to receive payment of principal of and interest on the debt security when due and to institute suit to enforce this payment.
| 15 |
Satisfaction and Discharge; Defeasance
Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, if at any time,
| · | we have paid the principal of and interest on all the debt securities of any series, except for debt securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid in accordance with the indenture, as and when the same shall have become due and payable, or | |
| · | we have delivered to the trustee for cancellation all debt securities of any series theretofore authenticated, except for debt securities of such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in the indenture, or | |
| · | all the debt securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the trustee for cancellation have become due and payable, or are by their terms are to become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year, and we have deposited with the trustee, in trust, sufficient money or government obligations, or a combination thereof, to pay the principal, any interest and any other sums due on the debt securities, on the dates the payments are due or become due under the indenture and the terms of the debt securities, |
then the indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the debt securities of such series, except for:
| · | rights of registration of transfer and exchange, and our right of optional redemption; | |
| · | substitution of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen debt securities; | |
| · | rights of holders to receive payments of principal thereof and interest thereon upon the original stated due dates therefor (but not upon acceleration) and remaining rights of the holders to receive mandatory sinking fund payments, if any; | |
| · | the rights, obligations and immunities of the trustee under the indenture; and | |
| · | the rights of the holders of such series of debt securities as beneficiaries thereof with respect to the property so deposited with the trustee payable to all or any of them. |
Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may elect with respect to any debt securities of any series either:
| · | to defease and be discharged from all of our obligations with respect to such debt securities ("defeasance"), with certain exceptions described below; or | |
| · | to be released from our obligations with respect to such debt securities under such covenants as may be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, and any omission to comply with those obligations will not constitute a default or an event of default with respect to such debt securities ("covenant defeasance"). |
We must comply with the following conditions before the defeasance or covenant defeasance can be effected:
| · | we must irrevocably deposit with the indenture trustee or other qualifying trustee, under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the trustee, trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the holders of such debt securities, sufficient money or government obligations, or a combination thereof, to pay the principal, any interest and any other sums on the due dates for those payments; and | |
| · | we must deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of such debt securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, to be effected with respect to such debt securities and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, had not occurred. |
In connection with defeasance, any irrevocable trust agreement contemplated by the indenture must include, among other things, provision for:
| · | payment of the principal of and interest on such debt securities, if any, appertaining thereto when due (by redemption, sinking fund payments or otherwise), | |
| · | the payment of the expenses of the trustee incurred or to be incurred in connection with carrying out such trust provisions, | |
| · | rights of registration, transfer, substitution and exchange of such debt securities in accordance with the terms stated in the indenture, and | |
| · | continuation of the rights, obligations and immunities of the trustee as against the holders of such debt securities as stated in the indenture. |
| 16 |
The accompanying prospectus supplement may further describe any provisions permitting or restricting defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to the debt securities of a particular series.
Global Securities
Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, each debt security offered by this prospectus will be issued in the form of one or more global debt securities representing all or part of that series of debt securities. This means that we will not issue certificates for that series of debt securities to the holders. Instead, a global debt security representing that series will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a securities depositary and registered in the name of the depositary or a nominee of the depositary. Any such depositary must be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. We will describe the specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to a series of debt securities to be represented by a global security in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Notices
We will give notices to holders of the debt securities by mail at the addresses listed in the security register. In the case of notice in respect of unregistered securities or coupon securities, we may give notice by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in New York, New York.
Governing Law
The particular terms of a series of debt securities will be described in a prospectus supplement relating to such series of debt securities. Any indentures will be subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and may be supplemented or amended from time to time following their execution. Unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will not be limited in the amount of debt securities that we may issue, and neither the senior debt securities nor the subordinated debt securities will be secured by any of our property or assets. Thus, by owning debt securities, you are one of our unsecured creditors.
Regarding the Trustee
From time to time, we may maintain deposit accounts and conduct other banking transactions with the trustee to be appointed under the indenture or its affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS
We may offer to sell warrants from time to time. If we do so, we will describe the specific terms of the warrants in a prospectus supplement. In particular, we may issue warrants for the purchase of common stock, preferred stock and/or debt securities in one or more series. We may also issue warrants independently or together with other securities and the warrants may be attached to or separate from those securities.
We will evidence each series of warrants by warrant certificates that we will issue under a separate agreement. We will enter into the warrant agreement with a warrant agent. We will indicate the name and address of the warrant agent in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of warrants.
We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of warrants, including:
| · | the offering price and aggregate number of warrants offered; | |
| · | the currency for which the warrants may be purchased; | |
| · | if applicable, the designation and terms of the securities with which the warrants are issued and the number of warrants issued with each such security or each principal amount of such security; | |
| · | if applicable, the date on and after which the warrants and the related securities will be separately transferable; | |
| · | in the case of warrants to purchase debt securities, the principal amount of debt securities purchasable upon exercise of one warrant and the price at, and currency in which, this principal amount of debt securities may be purchased upon such exercise; | |
| · | in the case of warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock, the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock, as the case may be, purchasable upon the exercise of one warrant and the price at which these shares may be purchased upon such exercise; | |
| · | the effect of any merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition of our business on the warrant agreement and the warrants; | |
| · | the terms of any rights to redeem or call the warrants; | |
| · | any provisions for changes to or adjustments in the exercise price or number of securities issuable upon exercise of the warrants; | |
| · | the dates on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence and expire; | |
| · | the manner in which the warrant agreement and warrants may be modified; | |
| · | certain United States federal income tax consequences of holding or exercising the warrants; | |
| · | the terms of the securities issuable upon exercise of the warrants; and | |
| · | any other specific material terms, preferences, rights or limitations of or restrictions on the warrants. |
Holders may exercise the warrants by delivering the warrant certificate representing the warrants to be exercised together with other requested information, and paying the required amount to the warrant agent in immediately available funds, as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement the information that the holder of the warrant will be required to deliver to the warrant agent.
Upon receipt of the required payment and the warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed at the office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will issue and deliver the securities purchasable upon such exercise. If a holder exercises fewer than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate, then we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining amount of warrants.
A holder will not have any of the rights of the holders of the securities purchasable upon the exercise of warrants until you exercise them. Accordingly, a holder will not be entitled to, among other things, vote or receive dividend payments or similar distributions on the securities you can purchase upon exercise of the warrants.
The information provided above is only a summary of the terms under which we may offer warrants for sale. Accordingly, investors must carefully review the applicable warrant agreement for more information about the specific terms and conditions of these warrants before investing in us. In addition, please carefully review the information provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, which contains additional information that is important for you to consider in evaluating an investment in our securities.

We may issue rights to our stockholders to purchase shares of our common stock or preferred stock described in this prospectus. We may offer rights separately or together with one or more additional rights, preferred stock, common stock, warrants or any combination of those securities in the form of units, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as rights agent. The rights agent for any rights we offer will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

We may issue units consisting of any combination of the other types of securities offered under this prospectus in one or more series.

We will indicate the name and address of the unit agent in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of units.
The following description, together with the additional information included in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the general features of the units that we may offer under this prospectus.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell the securities from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination of these methods or through underwriters or dealers, through agents and/or directly to one or more purchasers. The securities may be distributed from time to time in one or more transactions:
| · | at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed; | |
| · | at market prices prevailing at the time of sale; | |
| · | at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or | |
| · | at negotiated prices. |
Each time that we sell securities covered by this prospectus, we will provide a prospectus supplement or supplements that will describe the method of distribution and set forth the terms and conditions of the offering of such securities, including the offering price of the securities and the proceeds to us, if applicable.
Offers to purchase the securities being offered by this prospectus may be solicited directly. Agents may also be designated to solicit offers to purchase the securities from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of our securities will be identified in a prospectus supplement.
If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, the securities will be sold to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale.
If an underwriter is utilized in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, an underwriting agreement will be executed with the underwriter at the time of sale and the name of any underwriter will be provided in the prospectus supplement that the underwriter will use to make resales of the securities to the public. In connection with the sale of the securities, we or the purchasers of securities for whom the underwriter may act as agent, may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions. The underwriter may sell the securities to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for which they may act as agent. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, an agent will be acting on a best efforts basis and a dealer will purchase securities as a principal, and may then resell the securities at varying prices to be determined by the dealer.
Any compensation paid to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. We may enter into agreements to indemnify underwriters, dealers and agents against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments they may be required to make in respect thereof and to reimburse those persons for certain expenses.
Any common stock will be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, but any other securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. To facilitate the offering of securities, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities. This may include over-allotments or short sales of the securities, which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering of more securities than were sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option, if any. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the securities by bidding for or purchasing securities in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if securities sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.
| 21 |
We may engage in at the market offerings into an existing trading market in accordance with Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act.
In addition, we may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement so indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, we may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.
We do not make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above might have on the price of the securities. In addition, we do not make any representation that underwriters will engage in such transactions or that such transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.
The specific terms of any lock-up provisions in respect of any given offering will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
To comply with applicable state securities laws, the securities offered by this prospectus will be sold, if necessary, in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, securities may not be sold in some states unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
The underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us, or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business for which they receive compensation.
