Corporate Overview
Our mission is to make renewable energy a global superpower using computing as a catalyst.
We develop and operate digital infrastructure that taps into a growing global opportunity: the convergence of renewable energy and High-Performance Computing ("HPC"). We call this model Renewable Computing™.
Across the world, vast amounts of clean energy go to waste due to curtailment. At the same time, there is a critical shortage of power for energy-intensive infrastructure like Artificial Intelligence ("AI"), HPC, and Bitcoin mining. Renewable Computing™ bridges this gap-unlocking stranded renewable energy and turning it into scalable computing power.
We build, own or co-own, and operate data centers co-located with wind, solar, and hydroelectric plants. Our modular and scalable design supports high-throughput, batchable applications such as Bitcoin, and soon, HPC/AI workloads. These facilities are managed by MaestroOS™, our proprietary operating system ("MaestroOS"), which continuously analyzes signals like local power pricing, weather, grid demand, and market conditions to optimize performance and economics.
This intelligent orchestration enables long-term asset monetization and attractive returns on invested capital. Our approach is purpose-built for the energy transition. We specialize in curtailment solutions, working closely with leading renewable energy developers to access underutilized, low-cost power. Our behind-the-meter model allows us to draw energy directly from the plant or the grid, while also providing demand response services-reducing costs and enhancing grid resilience.
A key strategic advantage is our model of co-locating data centers directly with renewable power generation assets. By building behind the meter, we are able to bypass long interconnection queues and source electricity directly from the generation site. This structure not only improves power economics, but also accelerates time-to-market-an increasingly important factor for companies with large, time-sensitive computing workloads such as AI and HPC.
With a repeatable strategy and a growing pipeline of projects, we are scaling a new category of digital infrastructure-one that energizes the grid, lowers computing costs, and advances a more sustainable future.
2 |
We operate across multiple business lines and generate revenue from four primary sources, as described below:
● | Bitcoin Mining Business - We mine Bitcoin through proprietary operations and joint ventures located at our data centers. | |
● | Bitcoin Hosting Business - We provide hosting services to third-party Bitcoin mining customers at our data centers. | |
● | High Performance Computing Business - We offer colocation and hosting services for companies seeking to train large language models (LLMs), fine-tune existing artificial intelligence models, and deploy other compute-intensive AI or HPC workloads. | |
● | Demand Response Business - We leverage our data center infrastructure to provide demand response services to grid operators. |
Lines of Business
Bitcoin Mining Business
We engage in proprietary Bitcoin mining, a process that verifies transactions and secures the Bitcoin blockchain. This process involves the use of specialized computing equipment to solve complex cryptographic algorithms. Miners compete to solve these algorithms; the first to do so is awarded a predetermined number of newly issued Bitcoins (the "Block Reward") and any transaction fees associated with that block.
We participate in one or more mining pools-collaborative networks of miners who combine computing power to improve the probability of earning rewards. Block Rewards earned by the pool are distributed among participants based on each member's proportional contribution. This model helps reduce revenue volatility compared to solo mining operations.
Our mining operations are energy-intensive and require significant computational resources. We operate data centers equipped with both proprietary and third-party hardware and software. Our proprietary data center operating system, MaestroOS, is used to optimize performance, manage power consumption, and increase operational efficiency.
Revenue from Bitcoin mining consists of Block Rewards and transaction fees and is recognized upon receipt in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. Upon receipt, all digital assets are promptly converted into U.S. dollars through the Coinbase cryptocurrency exchange.
The profitability of this business is affected by several variables, including the market price of Bitcoin, global network hash rate, mining difficulty, electricity and infrastructure costs, and mining pool fees. In addition, Bitcoin undergoes a periodic "halving" event approximately every four years, reducing the Block Reward and potentially impacting future revenue. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, our Bitcoin Mining Business represented approximately 46% and 48% of total revenue. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, our Bitcoin Mining Business represented approximately 46% and 49% of total revenue.
3 |
Bitcoin Hosting Business
We provide colocation and hosting services for third-party Bitcoin mining customers at our data centers. Customers contract space based on their power requirements. Our current customer base includes several large-scale ("Hyperscale") Bitcoin miners. Contracts typically range from 12 to 24 months in duration.
We offer two primary commercial structures:
1 | Fixed-Fee Model - Customers pay a fixed fee based on the volume of energy consumed. | |
2 | Profit-Share Model - Customers pay a share of the profits from their mining activity, with power costs passed through. |
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, our Bitcoin Hosting Business accounted for approximately 51% and 46% of total revenue. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, our Bitcoin Hosting Business accounted for approximately 51% and 46% of total revenue. Revenue in the Bitcoin Hosting Business was concentrated among a small number of customers. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, three customers made up approximately 79% of hosting revenue and 40% of total revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, three customers made up approximately 80% of hosting revenue and 37% of total revenue.
High Performance Computing (HPC) Business
In June 2024, we began providing GPU-as-a-Service in partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company ("HPE"), offering GPU resources to startups, enterprises, and GPU marketplaces for a fee. As further described in our Annual Report, we terminated our agreement with HPE.
We are currently developing new infrastructure projects intended to support AI and HPC workloads. These efforts include engagement with potential joint venture partners, conducting site and feasibility studies, securing access to power and land, and performing other early-stage development activities.
Our first planned AI/HPC colocation project is Project Kati, which is in advanced development. Additional projects, including the announced Project Rosa, are also in progress. For the fiscal year 2024 and the six months ended June 30, 2025, we generated minimal revenue from our HPC Business.
Demand Response Business
We provide demand response services to grid operators and utilities by leveraging our data centers as dispatchable energy resources. In select states where we operate, our data centers are enrolled in ancillary services programs that support grid reliability.
Under these programs, we commit to reducing a facility's power consumption to a predetermined level when called upon by the grid operator. In return, we receive compensation for maintaining this dispatch capability, provided we meet specific performance criteria. For example, to qualify for compensation in a given period-typically monthly-the data center must meet minimum uptime and availability requirements.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, our Demand Response Business represented approximately 3% and 6% of total revenue. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, our Demand Response Business represented approximately 3% and 5% of total revenue.

Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company
We qualify as a "smaller reporting company" under applicable SEC regulations. A smaller reporting company may take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:
● | being permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" disclosure in our periodic reports and registration statements, including this prospectus, and reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements; | |
● | not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as amended, on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting; and | |
● | reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation arrangements in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements, including this prospectus. |
We will continue to be a smaller reporting company as long as we have a public float (determined as of the end of our second fiscal quarter) of less than $250 million or have annual revenues of less than $100 million as of the last fiscal year for which we have audited financial statements and a public float of less than $700 million.
We have elected to take advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and may elect to take advantage of other reduced reporting requirements in future filings. As a result, the information that we provide to our stockholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.

The Holder of the Warrants purchased in this offering will have no rights as a holder of common stock until such holder exercises such Warrants and acquires our common stock.
Until the holder of the Warrants acquires shares of our common stock upon exercise of such Warrants, the holder will have no rights with respect to the shares of our common stock underlying such Warrants. Upon exercise of the Warrants, the holder 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holder of the Warrants may be entitled to dividends or other distributions of the Company's assets made to the holders of common stock in limited circumstances (the "Distribution Rights").
The Warrants being offered are speculative in nature.
Notwithstanding the Distribution Rights, the Warrants do not confer any rights of common stock ownership on its holder, such as voting rights, but rather merely represents the right to acquire shares of common stock at a fixed price for a limited period of time. Moreover, following this offering, the market value of the Warrants, if any, will be uncertain and there can be no assurance that the market value of the Warrants will equal or exceed its imputed offering price. The Warrants will not be listed or quoted for trading on any market or exchange. There can be no assurance that the market price of our common stock will ever equal or exceed the exercise price of the Warrants, and consequently, the Warrants may expire valueless.

SELLING SECURITYHOLDER
This prospectus covers the resale or other disposition by the securityholder identified in the table below of (i) 2,000,000 Common Warrants to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock; (ii) 2,000,000 Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock and (iii) 4,000,000 Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. For additional information regarding the Securities included in this prospectus, see the section titled "Private Placement." We are registering the Securities included in this prospectus in order to permit the Selling Securityholder to offer such Securities for resale from time to time. The term "Selling Securityholder" includes the securityholder listed in the table below and its permitted transferees.
The Warrants held by the Selling Stockholder contains limitations which prevent the Selling Stockholder from exercising such Warrants if such exercise would cause the Selling Stockholder, together with certain related parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 9.99% of our then outstanding shares of common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination, shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants which have not been exercised.
The table below sets forth, as of September 17, 2025, the following information regarding the Selling Securityholder:
● | the name of the Selling Securityholder; | |
● | the number of shares of common stock and Warrants owned by the Selling Securityholder prior to this offering, without regard to any limitations on exercises; | |
● | the number of shares of common stock and Warrants to be offered by the Selling Securityholder in this offering; | |
● | the number of shares of common stock and Warrants to be owned by the Selling Securityholder assuming the sale of all of the Warrant Shares and Warrants covered by this prospectus; and | |
● | the percentage of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock and Warrants to be owned by the Selling Securityholder assuming the sale of all of the Warrant Shares and Warrants covered by this prospectus, based on the number of shares of our common stock and Warrants issued and outstanding as of September 17, 2025. |
Except as described otherwise, the number of shares of common stock and Warrants beneficially owned by the Selling Securityholder has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act and includes, for such purpose, shares of common stock and Warrants that the Selling Securityholder has the right to acquire within 60 days of September 17, 2025.
11 |
All information with respect to the common stock ownership of the Selling Securityholder has been furnished by or on behalf of the Selling Securityholder. We believe, based on information supplied by the Selling Securityholder, that except as may otherwise be indicated in the footnotes to the table below, the Selling Securityholder has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of common stock and Warrants reported as beneficially owned by the Selling Securityholder. Because the Selling Securityholder identified in the table may sell some or all of the shares of common stock or Warrants beneficially owned by it and covered by this prospectus, and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the shares of common stock or Warrants, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares of common stock or Warrants available for resale hereby that will be held by the Selling Securityholder upon termination of this offering. In addition, the Selling Securityholder may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, the shares of common stock or Warrants it beneficially owns in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date on which it provides the information set forth in the table below. We have, therefore, assumed for the purposes of the following table, that the Selling Securityholder will sell all of the shares of common stock and Warrants owned beneficially by it that are covered by this prospectus, but will not sell any other shares of common stock or Warrants that it presently owns. Except in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement and ownership of the Warrants, neither the Selling Securityholder, nor any persons (entities or natural persons) who have control over the Selling Securityholder, have held any position or office, or have otherwise had any material relationship with us or any of our subsidiaries within the past three years.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Selling Securityholder and any of its pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of the Securities on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the Securities are traded or quoted or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Securityholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling Securities:
● | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits investors; | |
● | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the Securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; | |
● | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; | |
● | distribution of the securities by the Selling Securityholder to its partners, members, equityholders or creditors; | |
● | underwritten offerings; | |
● | in "at the market" offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at negotiated prices, at prices prevailing at the time of sale, or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, including sales made directly on a national securities exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings through sales agents; | |
● | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; | |
● | privately negotiated transactions; | |
● | through the writing or settlement of options on the Securities, swaps or other derivatives transactions, whether through an options or derivatives exchange or otherwise; | |
● | through put or call transactions relating to the Securities; | |
● | pledges of the Securities as security for any loan or obligation, including pledges to brokers or dealers who may from time to time effect distributions of the Securities; | |

● | any other method permitted by applicable law. |
14 |
The Selling Securityholder may also sell Securities under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or another exemption, if available, rather than under this prospectus. The Selling Securityholder shall have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of Securities if it deems the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.
The Selling Securityholder or its respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may also sell the Securities directly to market makers acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for themselves or their customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Securityholder and/or the purchasers of Securities for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market makers and block purchasers purchasing the Securities will do so for their own account and at their own risk. It is possible that the Selling Securityholder will attempt to sell Securities in block transactions to market makers or other purchasers at a price per share which may be below the then existing market price. We cannot assure that all or any of the Securities offered in this prospectus will be issued to, or sold by, the Selling Securityholder. The Selling Securityholder and any brokers, dealers or agents, upon effecting the sale of any of the Securities offered in this prospectus, may be deemed to be "underwriters" as that term is defined under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of such acts. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the Securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the Securities, but excluding brokerage commissions or underwriter discounts.
The Selling Securityholder, alternatively, may sell all or any part of the Securities offered in this prospectus through an underwriter. The Selling Securityholder has not entered into any agreement with a prospective underwriter and there is no assurance that any such agreement will be entered into.
The Selling Securityholder may pledge its Securities to its brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If the Selling Securityholder defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged Securities. The Selling Securityholder and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the Securities will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations under such act, including, without limitation, Regulation M. These provisions may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Securities by, the Selling Securityholder or any other such person. In the event that the Selling Securityholder is deemed an affiliated purchaser or distribution participant within the meaning of Regulation M, then the Selling Securityholder will not be permitted to engage in short sales of common stock. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and certain other activities with respect to such securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. In addition, if a short sale is deemed to be a stabilizing activity, then the Selling Securityholder will not be permitted to engage in a short sale of our common stock. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the Securities.
If the Selling Securityholder notifies us that it has a material arrangement with a broker-dealer for the resale of the Securities, then we would be required to amend the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and file a prospectus supplement to describe the agreements between the Selling Securityholder and the broker-dealer.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The following summary of the rights of our capital stock is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to our Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the "Articles of Incorporation") and our Bylaws (the "Bylaws"), copies of which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
We have authorized capital stock consisting of 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 6,040,000 shares have been designated as shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 187,500 have been designated as Series B Preferred Stock, as of September 18, 2025. Unless stated otherwise, the following discussion summarizes the terms and provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws. This description is summarized from, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, our Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws, which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and the applicable provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended (the "NRS"). For a description of the terms of our preferred stock, see Exhibit 4.14 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025.
Common Stock
Voting rights
The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share held on all matters on which a vote of our common stockholders is taken. Stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. The election of directors of the Company is decided by plurality vote and all other questions are decided by a majority of the votes cast by our stockholders present in person or by proxy, except as otherwise required by the NRS or our Articles of Incorporation. Our Articles of Incorporation provide that notwithstanding any other provision of our Articles of Incorporation or our Bylaws (and notwithstanding the fact that some lesser percentage may be specified by law, the Articles of Incorporation, or the Bylaws), any director or the entire Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") may be removed at any time, but only for cause upon the affirmative vote of 75% or more of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote for the election of directors at a meeting called for that purpose.
The Board is divided into three classes, with each class consisting, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third of the total number of directors, with the terms of the classes scheduled to expire in successive years. At each annual meeting of the Company's stockholders, the stockholders elect the members of a single class of directors for three-year terms.
Dividends
The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as, and if declared by the Board, out of funds legally available therefor.
Liquidation
Except as otherwise provided under our Articles of Incorporation (including the terms of any preferred stock), upon liquidation, dissolution, or the winding up of the Company, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive any remaining assets of the Company in proportion to the respective number of shares held after payment of and reservation for Company liabilities.
16 |
Preemptive Rights
The holders of shares of our common stock do not have any preemptive right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class or series of our capital stock.
Redemption Rights
Shares of our common stock are not subject to redemption by the Company. To the extent that the Company issues additional shares of common stock, the relative interest in the Company of existing stockholders will likely be diluted.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, and Nevada Law
Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain provisions and terms that may delay, defer, or prevent a tender offer or change in control of the Company that a stockholder might consider to be in his, her, or its best interests, including attempts that might result in a premium being paid over the market price for shares of our common stock. The Company expects that such provisions and terms may have the effect of discouraging extraordinary corporate transactions with respect to the Company, such as hostile takeover bids, and will instead encourage any potential acquiror of the Company to first correspond with our Board. These provisions and terms include:
● | Special meetings of stockholders may only be called by the by the chairman of the board or the chief executive officer, or, if there be no chairman of the board and no chief executive officer, by the president, and shall be called by the secretary upon the written request of at least a majority of the Board or the holders of not less than a majority of the voting power of the Company's stock entitled to vote. | |
● | The Company maintains a classified Board that is divided into three classes serving for respective three-year terms. As a result, it would take at least two successive annual meetings of shareholders to replace a majority of the members of our Board. | |
● | Vacancies on the Board may be filled by majority vote of remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, with the individual elected to serve for the remainder of the unexpired term. | |
● | Any director of the Company may be removed from service as a director only after the affirmative vote of 75% or more of outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote for the election of directors, at a meeting called for that purpose. |
Nevada's "combinations with interested stockholders" statutes, NRS 78.411 through 78.444, inclusive, prohibit specified types of business "combinations" between certain Nevada corporations and any person deemed to be an "interested stockholder" for two years after such person first becomes an "interested stockholder" unless the corporation's board of directors approves the combination (or the transaction by which such person becomes an "interested stockholder") in advance, or unless the combination is approved by the board of directors and sixty percent of the corporation's voting power not beneficially owned by the interested stockholder, its affiliates and associates. Further, in the absence of prior approval certain restrictions may apply even after such two year period. However, these statutes do not apply to any combination of a corporation and an interested stockholder after the expiration of four years after the person first became an interested stockholder. For purposes of these statutes, an "interested stockholder" is any person who is (1) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, or (2) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the two previous years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of the term "combination" is sufficiently broad to cover most significant transactions between a corporation and an "interested stockholder." These statutes generally apply to Nevada corporations with 200 or more stockholders of record. However, a Nevada corporation may elect in its articles of incorporation not to be governed by these particular laws, but if such election is not made in the corporation's original articles of incorporation, the amendment (1) must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of stock representing a majority of the outstanding voting power of the corporation not beneficially owned by interested stockholders or their affiliates and associates, and (2) is not effective until 18 months after the vote approving the amendment and does not apply to any combination with a person who first became an interested stockholder on or before the effective date of the amendment. We made an election to opt out of these statutes in our original articles of incorporation and have not amended such provision.
17 |
Nevada's "acquisition of controlling interest" statutes (NRS 78.378 through 78.3793, inclusive) contain provisions governing the acquisition of a controlling interest in certain Nevada corporations. These "control share" laws provide generally that any person that acquires a "controlling interest" in certain Nevada corporations may be denied voting rights, unless a majority of the disinterested stockholders of the corporation elect to restore such voting rights. These laws will apply to us as of a particular date if we were to have 200 or more stockholders of record (at least 100 of whom have addresses in Nevada appearing on our stock ledger at all times during the 90 days immediately preceding that date) and do business in the State of Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation, unless our Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws in effect on the tenth day after the acquisition of a controlling interest provide otherwise. These laws provide that a person acquires a "controlling interest" whenever a person acquires shares of a subject corporation that, but for the application of these provisions of the NRS, would enable that person to exercise (1) one-fifth or more, but less than one-third, (2) one-third or more, but less than a majority, or (3) a majority or more of all of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors. Once an acquirer crosses one of these thresholds, shares which it acquired in the transaction taking it over the threshold and within the 90 days immediately preceding the date when the acquiring person acquired or offered to acquire a controlling interest become "control shares" to which the voting restrictions described above apply. These laws may have a chilling effect on certain transactions if our Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws are not timely amended to provide that these provisions do not apply to us or to an acquisition of a controlling interest, or if our disinterested stockholders do not confer voting rights in the control shares.
Further, NRS 78.139 provides that directors may resist a change or potential change in control of a corporation if the board of directors determines that the change or potential change in control is opposed to or not in the best interest of the corporation upon consideration of any relevant facts, circumstances, contingencies or constituencies pursuant to NRS 78.138(4).
We expect the existence of these provisions may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions that our Board does not approve in advance and could result in making it more difficult to accomplish transactions that our stockholders may see as beneficial such as (i) discouraging business combinations that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of our common stock; (ii) discouraging hostile takeovers which could inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market price of our common stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts; and (iii) preventing changes in our management.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (the "Transfer Agent") (formerly: American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC). The Transfer Agent's address is 48 Wall Street, 23rd Floor, New York, NY 10005.

In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Pre-Funded Warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our common stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding common stock, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of more than 50% of the voting power represented by our outstanding common stock, the holder of the Pre-Funded Warrant will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrant the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Pre-Funded Warrant immediately prior to such fundamental transaction.
Transferability
Subject to applicable laws, the Pre-Funded Warrants may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the Pre-Funded Warrants together with the appropriate instruments of transfer and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon such transfer.
Fractional Shares.
No fractional shares of common stock will be issued upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants. Rather, the number of shares of common stock to be issued will, at our election, either be rounded up to the nearest whole number or we will pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price.
Amendments.
No term of a Pre-Funded Warrant may be amended or waived without the written consent of the Company and the holder of such Pre-Funded Warrant.
Exchange Listing
We do not intend to list the Pre-Funded Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.
Rights as a Stockholder
Except as otherwise provided in the Pre-Funded Warrant or by virtue of such holder's ownership of shares of our common stock, the holder of the Pre-Funded Warrant does not have the rights or privileges of holders of our common stock, including any voting rights, until they exercise the Pre-Funded Warrant.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
NRS 78.138 provides that, unless the corporation's articles of incorporation for greater individual liability, a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer unless the statutory presumption that such director or officer has acted in good faith, on an informed basis and with a view to the interests of the corporation has been rebutted, and it is proven that (i) the director's or officer's acts or omissions constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties, and (ii) such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law. Our Articles of Incorporation provide that no director or officer shall have any personal liability to the Company or its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except for (i) acts that involve intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law or (ii) the payment of dividends in violation of the NRS.
Section 78.7502(1) of the NRS provides that a corporation may indemnify, pursuant to that statutory provision, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise or as a manager of a limited liability company, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful.
II-1 |
NRS 78.7502(2) permits a corporation to indemnify, pursuant to that statutory provision, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in any of the capacities set forth above against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted under similar standards, except that no indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502 may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after any appeals taken therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper. NRS 78.751(1) provides that a corporation shall indemnify any person who is a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with defending an action (including, without limitation, attorney's fees), to the extent that the person is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including, without limitation, an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or as a manager of a limited liability company, or any claim, issue or matter in such action.
NRS 78.751 provides that the indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502 shall not be deemed exclusive or exclude any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled (except that indemnification may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer finally adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of any appeals taken therefrom, to be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and such intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law was material to the cause of action) and that the indemnification shall continue as to directors, officers, employees or agents who have ceased to hold such positions, and to their heirs, executors and administrators. NRS 78.752 permits a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against any liability asserted against him or her or incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liabilities.
Section 78.752 of the NRS provides that a Nevada company may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the company, or is or was serving at the request of the company as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, for any liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee, or agent, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the company has the authority to indemnify him against such liability and expenses.
Our Bylaws provide that the Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law, pay the expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an indemnitee in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition.
In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. These agreements, among other things, require us to indemnify our directors and executive officers for certain expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments and fines incurred by a director or executive officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of our directors or executive officers or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request.
We maintain a directors' and officers' insurance policy pursuant to which our directors and officers are insured against liability for actions taken in their capacities as directors and officers. We believe these provisions in the Bylaws and these indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
(i) | To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
(ii) | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and |
(iii) | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; |
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (ii), and (iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78m or 78o(d)) that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(b) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
(c) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
(d) | For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A (§230.430A of this chapter), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. |
II-5 |
(e) | That for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
(i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
(ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
(iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
(iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser |
(f) | That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
(g) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
