This

“Class A common stock”), of Motorsport Games Inc. by the Selling Stockholders identified in this prospectus (the “Selling

of: (i) Series A warrants (the “Series A Warrants”) to purchase up to 460,830 shares of Class A common stock, (ii) Series

purchase up to 460,830 shares of Class A common stock that were purchased by two of the Selling Stockholders (the “Investor Selling

Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 27,650 shares of Class A common stock (the “Placement Agent Warrants”)
that were issued to designees of H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright” or the “Placement Agent”) as partial
compensation for Wainwright acting as placement agent in connection with the Private Placement. The shares of Class A common stock issuable
upon exercise of the Series A Warrants, the Series B Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants are referred to as the “Warrant
Shares.”
We
are not offering any shares of Class A common stock under this prospectus and will not receive any proceeds from the sale or other disposition
of the shares of our Class A common stock covered hereby. See “Use of Proceeds” beginning on page 8 of this prospectus.
We
are filing the registration statement on Form S-1, of which this prospectus forms a part, to fulfill certain contractual obligations
with the Selling Stockholders to provide for the resale by the Selling Stockholders of the shares of Class A common stock offered hereby.
See “Selling Stockholders” beginning on page 16 of this prospectus for more information about the Selling Stockholders. The
registration of the shares of Class A common stock to which this prospectus relates does not require the Selling Stockholders to sell
any of their shares of our Class A common stock.
The
Selling Stockholders identified in this prospectus, or its or their pledgees, assignees, donees, transferees or their respective successors-in-interest,
from time to time may offer and sell through public or private transactions at prevailing market prices, at prices related to prevailing
market prices or at privately negotiated prices the shares held by them directly or through underwriters, agents or broker-dealers on
terms to be determined at the time of sale, as described in more detail in this prospectus. See “Plan of Distribution” beginning
on page 18 of this prospectus for more information about how the Selling Stockholders may sell their respective shares of Class A common
stock. The Selling Stockholders may be deemed “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
In
connection with the Private Placement, we agreed, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, dated July 26, 2024, that we have entered
into with the Investor Selling Stockholders, to bear all of the expenses in connection with the registration of their Warrant Shares
pursuant to this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders will pay or assume all commissions, discounts, fees of underwriters, agents, selling
brokers or dealer managers and similar expenses, if any, attributable to their respective sales of the shares of Class A common stock.
We
are an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company” under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission
rules and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company disclosure requirements for this prospectus and future
filings. See “Prospectus Summary—Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company.”

Class A common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MSGM.” On August 16, 2024, the closing price
of our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market was $1.27 per share.

INDUSTRY
AND MARKET DATA
Market
data and certain industry data and forecasts used throughout this prospectus were obtained from sources we believe to be reliable, including
market research databases, publicly available information, reports of governmental agencies and industry publications and surveys. We
have relied on certain data from third-party sources, including internal surveys, industry forecasts and market research, which we believe
to be reliable based on our management’s knowledge of the industry. Forecasts are particularly likely to be inaccurate, especially
over long periods of time. In addition, we do not necessarily know what assumptions regarding general economic growth were used in preparing
the third-party forecasts we cite. Statements as to our market position are based on the most currently available data. While we are
not aware of any misstatements regarding the industry data presented in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into
this prospectus, our estimates involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed
under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus.
SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain “forward-looking statements” that involve risks and
uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. The statements contained
in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”). Forward-looking statements are often identified by the use of words such as, but not limited to, “anticipate,”
“believe,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,”
“intend,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “strategy,”
“target,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions or variations intended to identify forward-looking
statements. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management based on information currently available to management.
Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results and the
timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that
could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in this section
of the prospectus titled “Risk Factors.” Furthermore, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus.
Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after
the date of such statements.
Please
consider our forward-looking statements in light of those risks as you read this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference
herein. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the
extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statements we may make. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
You
should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein is accurate as
of any date other than as of the date of this prospectus or that any information incorporated by reference into this prospectus is accurate
as of any date other than the date of the document so incorporated by reference. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to
update these forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated
in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future. Thus, you should not assume that our silence
over time means that actual events are bearing out as expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements.
If
one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materializes, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results
may vary materially from what we anticipate. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or individuals
acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this Note. Before purchasing any shares of our Class A common stock,
you should consider carefully all of the factors set forth or referred to in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference
that could cause actual results to differ.

Our
Company
Motorsport
Games is a racing game developer, publisher and esports ecosystem provider of official motorsport racing series, including the iconic
24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race (“Le Mans”) and the associated FIA World Endurance Championship (the “WEC”).
Our portfolio also includes the KartKraft karting simulation game, as well as Studio 397 B.V. (“Studio397”) and their rFactor
2 realistic racing simulator technology and platform.
Our
purpose is to make the thrill of motorsports accessible to everyone by creating the highest quality, most sophisticated and innovative
experiences for racers, gamers and fans of all ages. Our products and services target a large global motorsport audience. The latest
figures reported from 2023 show Le Mans, which includes the WEC, having an estimated combined global fanbase of over 113 million, while
the global fanbase for Formula 1 was estimated to be 1.61 billion.
We
develop and publish multi-platform racing video games including for game consoles, personal computers (PCs) and mobile platforms through
various retail and digital channels, including full-game and downloadable content (“DLC”). We have obtained the official
licenses to develop multi-platform games for the 24 Hours of Le Mans race and the WEC.
On
October 3, 2023, we sold our NASCAR licensed rights under that certain Second Amended and Restated Distribution and License Agreement
with NASCAR Team Properties (“NTP”) (the “NASCAR License”) to iRacing.com Motorsport Simulations, LLC. Prior
to the sale of our NASCAR License, we had been the official video game developer and publisher for the NASCAR video game racing franchise
and had the exclusive right to create and organize esports leagues and events for NASCAR using our NASCAR racing video games, in each
case, subject to certain limited exceptions. Concurrently with the sale of our NASCAR License, we entered into an agreement with NTP
pursuant to which we have a limited non-exclusive right and license to, among other things, sell our NASCAR games and DLCs that are currently
in our product portfolio through December 31, 2024 (the “NASCAR New Limited License”). For the three months ended June 30,
2024 and 2023, 55.0% and 77.7% of our total revenue, respectively, was generated from sales of our NASCAR racing video games.
We
are striving to become a leader in organizing and facilitating esports tournaments, competitions, and events for our licensed racing
games. In 2023, we organized the grand finale of the Le Mans Virtual Series 2022/23, the 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual event, which had
a cumulative total of approximately 8.8 million video views with approximately 27 million minutes watched. The 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual
event had a global audience of five million across television (TV)/over-the-top (OTT) channels. We continue to leverage esports competitions
to bring wider awareness and engagement to our gaming products, while creating inspiring event spectacles for our viewers.

Financing Developments
Registered
Direct Offering and Concurrent Private Placement
On
July 26, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors named on
the signature pages thereto. The Purchase Agreement provided for the sale and issuance by us in a registered direct offering (the “Registered
Direct Offering”) of an aggregate of: (i) 351,928 shares (the “Shares”) of our Class A common stock, (ii) pre-funded
warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 108,902 shares of our Class A common stock, and (iii)
in a concurrent private placement (the “Private Placement” and together with the Registered Direct Offering, the “Offering”),
Series A Warrants to purchase up to 460,830 shares of our Class A common stock and Series B Warrants to purchase up to 460,830 shares
of our Class A common stock.
The
offering price per Share and accompanying Purchase Warrants (one Series A Warrant and one Series B Warrant) was $2.17 and the offering
price per Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Purchase Warrants (one Series A Warrant and one Series B Warrant) was $2.1699. Each Pre-Funded
Warrant is exercisable immediately for one share of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and will expire
when exercised in full.
The
Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrants described above (and the shares of our Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded
Warrants) were offered and sold pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-262462) (the “Registration
Statement”), a base prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time it originally became effective (the “Base
Prospectus”), and a prospectus supplement, dated July 26, 2024, to the Base Prospectus (the “Prospectus Supplement”),
which was filed with the SEC on July 29, 2024 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Securities Act. The Company received gross proceeds
from the Offering of approximately $1.0 million. The Offering closed on July 29, 2024.
The
Purchase Warrants will become exercisable on the effective date of the stockholder approval for the issuance of the shares of Class A
common stock issuable upon exercise of the Purchase Warrants (the “Stockholder Approval Date”). The
Series A Warrants will expire five and one-half years following the Stockholder Approval Date and the Series B Warrants will expire 18
months following the Stockholder Approval Date. The Purchase Warrants and the Warrant Shares were not registered under the Securities
Act pursuant to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement. The Purchase Warrants and the Warrant Shares were offered pursuant
to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation
D promulgated thereunder.
Pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to file a registration statement to register the resale of the Warrant Shares as soon as practicable
(and in any event no later than August 28, 2024, which is 30 calendar days following the closing of the Offering (the “Closing
Date”)) and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within 60 days following
the Closing Date (or within 90 days following the Closing Date if the SEC informs us that it intends to review such registration statement).
The registration statement on Form S-1, of which this prospectus forms a part, is being filed to satisfy the requirement set forth in
the Purchase Agreement to register for resale the Warrant Shares.
We
entered into an engagement letter with Wainwright, dated November 6, 2023, the term of which was subsequently amended by us and Wainwright,
pursuant to which Wainwright agreed to act as the exclusive placement agent for us, on a reasonable best-efforts basis, in connection
with the Offering. We agreed to pay Wainwright an aggregate cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. We also agreed
to pay Wainwright certain expenses of $30,000 for non-accountable expenses and $15,950 for clearing fees. Additionally, we agreed to
issue to Wainwright or its designees, the Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to 27,650 shares of Class A common stock, which is
equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock and shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise
of the Pre-Funded Warrants included in Offering. The Placement Agent Warrants have substantially the same terms as the Purchase Warrants
described above, except that the Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price of $2.7125 per share (representing 125% of the combined
purchase price per Share and accompanying Purchase Warrants) and will expire five (5) years following the commencement of the sales of
the securities in the Offering. The Placement Agent Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable thereunder were offered
pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or
Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
Implications
of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company
We
qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS
Act”). As an “emerging growth company,” we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements
that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:
|
● |
requiring
only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly
reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Securities
Act filings; |
|
|
|
|
● |
reduced
disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements; |
|
|
|
|
● |
no
non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
exemption
from compliance with the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant
to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”). |
We
may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five (5) years or such earlier time that we are no longer an “emerging growth
company.” We will continue to remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of the following: (i) the last
day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of our initial public offering; (ii) the last day
of the fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenue is equal to or more than $1.235 billion; (iii) the date on which we have issued
more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated
filer under the rules of the SEC.
We
are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Exchange Act and have elected to take advantage of certain of the
scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies. To the extent that we continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting
company” as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company,
certain of the exemptions available to us as an “emerging growth company” may continue to be available to us as a “smaller
reporting company,” including exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements pursuant to SOX and reduced disclosure
about our executive compensation arrangements. We will continue to be a “smaller reporting company” until we have $250 million
or more in public float (based on our common stock) measured as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal
quarter or, in the event we have no public float (based on our common stock) or a public float (based on our common stock) that is less
than $700 million and annual revenues of $100 million or more during the most recently completed fiscal year.
We
may choose to take advantage of some, but not all, of these exemptions. We have taken advantage of reduced reporting requirements in
this prospectus. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different from the information you receive from other public companies
in which you hold stock. In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company may take advantage of an extended transition
period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, delaying the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply
to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised financial
accounting standards. As a result of the accounting standards election, we will not be subject to the same implementation timing for
new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies which may make comparison of our
financials to those of other public companies more difficult.
Summary
of the Material and Other Risks Associated with Our Business
Our
business is subject to numerous material and other risks and uncertainties that you should be aware of in evaluating our business. In
particular, you should carefully consider the following risks, which are discussed more fully in the section entitled “Risk Factors”
in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus:
|
● |
We
have incurred significant losses since our inception, and we expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. Accordingly,
our financial condition raises substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. |
|
|
|
|
● |
We
will require additional capital to meet our financial obligations, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms or
at all. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Limits
on our borrowing capacity under the $12 million Line of Credit may affect our ability to finance our operations. |
|
● |
If
we do not consistently deliver popular products or if consumers prefer competing products, our business may be negatively impacted. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Our
business and products are highly concentrated in the racing game genre, and our operating results may suffer if consumer preferences
shift away from this genre. |
|
|
|
|
● |
If
we do not provide high-quality products in a timely manner, our business operations, financial performance, financial condition,
liquidity, cash flows and/or results of operations may be negatively impacted. |
|
|
|
|
● |
We
may not be successful in identifying and implementing one or more strategic alternatives for our business, and any strategic alternative
that we may consummate could have material adverse consequences for us. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Declines
in consumer spending and other adverse changes in the economy could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
liquidity, cash flows and/or operating results. |
|
|
|
|
● |
We
depend on a relatively small number of franchises for a significant portion of our revenues and profits. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Our
ability to acquire and maintain licenses to intellectual property, especially for sports titles, affects our revenues and profitability.
Competition for these licenses may make them more expensive and increase our costs. |
|
|
|
|
● |
The
importance of retail sales to our business exposes us to the risks of that business model. |
|
|
|
|
● |
We
primarily depend on a single third-party distribution partner to distribute our games for the retail channel, and our ability to
negotiate favorable terms with such partner and its continued willingness to purchase our games is critical for our business. |
|
|
|
|
● |
We
plan to continue to generate a portion of our revenues from advertising and sponsorship during our esports events. If we are unable
to attract more advertisers and sponsors to our gaming platform, tournaments or competitions, our revenues may be adversely affected. |
|
|
|
|
● |
We
may not successfully manage the transitions associated with certain of our executive officers, which could have an adverse impact
on us. |
|
|
|
|
● |
We
are reliant on the retention of certain key personnel and the hiring of strategically valuable personnel, and we may lose or be unable
to hire one or more of such personnel, which could adversely affect our ability to achieve our business plans and financial objectives. |
|
|
|
|
● |
The
success of our business relies on our marketing and branding efforts, and these efforts may not be accepted by consumers to the extent
we planned. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Failure
to adequately protect our intellectual property, technology and confidential information could harm our business and operating results. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Driven
Lifestyle Group LLC controls a significant amount of our Class A common stock and all our Class B common stock and therefore it has
the ability to exert significant control over the direction of our business, which could prevent other stockholders from influencing
significant decisions regarding our business plans and other matters. |
|
|
|
|
● |
If
we are no longer controlled by or affiliated with Driven Lifestyle Group LLC, we may be unable to continue to benefit from that relationship,
which may adversely affect our operations and have a material adverse effect on us and our financial performance, financial condition,
liquidity and/or cash flows. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Our
limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects, and we may not be able to effectively
grow our business or implement our business strategies. |
|
|
|
|
● |
We
are an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable
to us will make our Class A common stock less attractive to investors. |
|
|
|
|
● |
If
we fail to comply with applicable Nasdaq listing requirements, our Class A common stock may be delisted from Nasdaq, which could
affect the market price and liquidity of our Class A common stock. |
|
|
|
|
● |
The
dual class structure of our common stock may adversely affect the trading market for our Class A common stock. |
|
|
|
|
● |

RISK
FACTORS
Investing
in our Class A common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider and evaluate all of the information contained
in this prospectus and in the documents we incorporate by reference into this prospectus before you decide to purchase our shares of
Class A common stock. In particular, you should carefully consider and evaluate the risks and uncertainties described under the heading
“Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by annual, quarterly and other reports and documents
that we file with the SEC and incorporate by reference into this prospectus, or any prospectus, including the risks we face described
below, which risks could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, which in turn could
materially and adversely affect the value of the shares of our Class A common stock offered by this prospectus. Our business, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected by these risks. As a result, you could lose
all or part of your investment.
Risks
Related to this Offering
Resales
of our Class A common stock in the public market by our stockholders as a result of this offering may cause the market price of our Class
A common stock to fall.
We
are registering Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants.
Sales of substantial amounts of our Class A common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely
affect the market price of our Class A common stock. The issuance of new shares of Class A common stock could result in resales of our
Class A common stock by our current stockholders concerned about the potential ownership dilution of their holdings. Furthermore, in
the future, we may issue additional shares of Class A common stock or other equity or debt securities exercisable or convertible into
Class A common stock. Any such issuance could result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and could cause our stock price
to decline.
Investors
who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.
Investors
who purchase shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience different levels of dilution
and different outcomes in their investment results. The Selling Stockholders may sell such shares at different times and at different
prices.
Our
management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from the exercise of the Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants
and Placement Agent Warrants, you may not agree with how we use the proceeds, and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.
We
have not designated any portion of the net proceeds from the exercise of the Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants and Placement Agent
Warrants to be used for any particular purpose. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds
and you will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity,
as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that, pending their
use, we may invest the net proceeds in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for our company. Our management’s
judgment may not result in positive returns on your investment and you will not have the opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial
or other information upon which our management bases its decisions.
We
have additional securities available for issuance, which, if issued, could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our Class A
common stock.
We
may from time-to-time issue additional shares of Class A common stock or preferred stock. In addition, as opportunities present themselves,
we may enter into financing or similar arrangements in the future, including the issuance of debt securities, Class A common stock or
preferred stock. Any future issuances of Class A common stock or securities convertible into Class A common stock, would further dilute
the percentage ownership of us held by holders of Class A common stock. In addition, the issuance of certain securities, may be used
as an “anti-takeover” device without further action on the part of our stockholders, and may adversely affect the holders
of the Class A common stock.
Because
we will not declare cash dividends on our Class A common stock in the foreseeable future, stockholders must rely on appreciation of the
value of our Class A common stock for any return on their investment.
We
have never declared or paid cash dividends on our Class A common stock. We currently anticipate that we will retain all available funds
and future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business and will not declare or pay any cash dividends in the
foreseeable future. As a result, only appreciation of the price of our Class A common stock, if any, will provide a return to investors
in this offering.
If
you purchase shares of our Class A common stock sold in this offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the
net tangible book value of your shares.
The
price per share of our Class A common stock being offered may be higher than the net tangible book value per share of our outstanding
Class A common stock prior to this offering. Assuming that an aggregate of 921,660 shares of our Class A common stock issuable upon exercise
of Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants are sold at a price of $2.17 per share (the exercise price of the Series A Warrants and Series
B Warrants), and 27,650 shares of our Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of Placement Agent Warrants are sold at a price of
$2.7125 (the exercise price of the Placement Agent Warrants), new investors in this offering purchasing Series A Warrant Shares or Series
B Warrant Shares will incur immediate dilution of $1.84 per share and new investors in this offering purchasing Placement Agent Warrant
Shares will incur immediate dilution of $2.3725 per share, representing the difference between our as adjusted net tangible book value
per share as of June 30, 2024 after giving effect to this offering and the assumed price of the Series A Warrant Shares, Series B Warrant
Shares and Placement Agent Warrant Shares, as applicable. For a more detailed discussion of the foregoing, see the section entitled “Dilution”
elsewhere in this prospectus.
Our
need for future financing may result in the issuance of additional securities which will cause investors to experience dilution.
Our
cash requirements may vary from those now planned depending upon numerous factors. We expect to require additional capital until our
operations generate sufficient revenue to cover our expenses. Accordingly, we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection
with our continuing operations. There are no other commitments by any person for future financing. Our securities may be offered to other
investors at a price lower than the price per share offered to current stockholders, or upon terms which may be deemed more favorable
than those offered to current stockholders. In addition, the issuance of securities in any future financing may dilute an investor’s
equity ownership and have the effect of depressing the market price for our securities. Moreover, we may issue derivative securities,
including options and/or warrants, from time to time, to procure qualified personnel or for other business reasons. The issuance of any
such derivative securities, which is at the discretion of our Board of Directors, may further dilute the equity ownership of our stockholders.
We
may sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by investors
in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders.
The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our Class A common stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into Class
A common stock, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by investors in this offering. No assurance
can be given as to our ability to procure additional financing, if required, and on terms deemed favorable to us. To the extent additional
capital is required and cannot be raised successfully, we may then have to limit our then current operations and/or may have to curtail
certain, if not all, of our business objectives and plans.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
The
Selling Stockholders will receive all of the proceeds of the sale of shares of Class A common stock offered from time to time pursuant
to this prospectus. Accordingly, we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Class A common stock that may be sold from
time to time pursuant to this prospectus; however, we will receive proceeds from any cash exercise of the Warrants. If all of the Warrants
are exercised for cash, we will receive approximately $2.1 million in gross proceeds.
We
will bear the out-of-pocket costs, expenses and fees incurred in connection with the registration of the shares of Class A common stock
registered hereby, which may be resold by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus. Other than registration expenses, such
as SEC fees and legal and accounting expenses, which we will bear, the Selling Stockholders will bear any underwriting discounts, commissions,
placement agent fees or other similar expenses payable with respect to sales of the shares of Class A common stock.
DIVIDEND
POLICY
We
have not declared or paid dividends to holders of our Class A common stock since inception and do not plan to pay cash dividends in the
foreseeable future to the holders of our Class A common stock. We currently intend to retain earnings, if any, to finance our growth.
DETERMINATION
OF THE OFFERING PRICE
The
prices at which the shares of our Class A common stock covered by this prospectus may actually be sold by the Selling Stockholders will
be determined by the prevailing public market price for shares of our Class A common stock or by negotiations between the Selling Stockholders
and the buyer or buyers of our Class A common stock in private transactions or as otherwise described in the section of this prospectus
entitled “Plan of Distribution.”

Class
A common stock
Prior
to January 8, 2021, we operated as a Florida limited liability company under the name Motorsport Gaming US LLC. On January 8, 2021, Motorsport
Gaming US LLC converted into a Delaware corporation pursuant to a statutory conversion and changed its name to Motorsport Games Inc.
Effective
as of January 8, 2021, 100% of the membership interests held by the sole member of Motorsport Gaming US LLC, Motorsport Network, LLC
now known as Driven Lifestyle Group LLC (“Driven Lifestyle”), converted into an aggregate of (i) 700,000 shares of our Class
A common stock, which have one vote per share (the “DL Initial Class A Shares”) and (ii) 700,000 shares of our Class B common
stock, which have ten votes per share, which represented all of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock
immediately following the corporate conversion. Driven Lifestyle is the only holder of shares of our Class B common stock and does not
have any transfer, conversion, registration or economic rights with respect to such shares of Class B common stock. In the event Driven
Lifestyle or its affiliates relinquish beneficial ownership of any of the DL Initial Class A Shares at any time, one share of Class B
common stock held by Driven Lifestyle will be cancelled for each such DL Initial Class A Share no longer beneficially owned by Driven
Lifestyle or its affiliates. Any pledge of DL Initial Class A Shares by Driven Lifestyle or its affiliates will not constitute a relinquishment
of such beneficial ownership. The DL Initial Class A Shares and shares of Class B common stock held by Driven Lifestyle will be adjusted
in equal proportions for any stock dividend, stock split or similar transaction undertaken by the Company.
Voting
Rights
Holders
of our Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and holders
of our Class B common stock are entitled to 10 votes for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders
of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class, unless otherwise required by law, our certificate
of incorporation or our bylaws. Except as otherwise provided by law, our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws or the rules of any
applicable stock exchange, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power
of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of
the stockholders. Except as otherwise required by law, our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, directors shall be elected by a plurality
of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.
Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, the number of authorized shares of common stock may be increased or decreased (but not
below the number of shares of common stock or, in the case of a class or series of common stock, such class or series, then outstanding)
by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Class A common stock and Class B common stock, voting
together as a single class, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Under our certificate
of incorporation, approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B common stock, voting as a separate class, will be
required to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of our Class B common stock, and the approval of two-thirds of the outstanding
Class B common stock, voting as a separate class, will be required to amend or repeal, or adopt any provision inconsistent with, or otherwise
alter, any provision of our certificate of incorporation that modifies the voting, par value, rights, powers, preferences, special rights,
privileges or restrictions of the Class B common stock. In addition, Delaware law could require either holders of our Class A common
stock or our Class B common stock to vote separately as a single class in the following circumstances:
|
● |
if
we were to seek to amend our certificate of incorporation to increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares or par
value of a class of stock, then that class would be required to vote separately to approve the proposed amendment; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
if
we were to seek to amend our certificate of incorporation in a manner that alters or changes the powers, preferences or special rights
of a class of stock in a manner that affected its holders adversely, then that class would be required to vote separately to approve
the proposed amendment. |
Dividends
Subject
to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of shares of Class A common stock
are entitled to dividends when and as declared by our board of directors from funds legally available therefor if, as and when determined
by our board of directors in its sole discretion, subject to provisions of law and any provision of our certificate of incorporation,
as amended from time to time. The holder of Class B common stock will not be entitled to receive any dividends with respect to the shares
of Class B common stock, except dividends payable in shares of Class B common stock or rights to acquire shares of Class B common stock
that may be declared and paid to the holder of Class B common stock to proportionally adjust for dividends payable in shares of Class
A common stock or rights to acquire shares of Class A common stock that are declared and paid to the holders of Class A common stock.
Liquidation
In
the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, the holders of our Class A common stock
and any participating preferred stock outstanding at that time will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available
for distribution to stockholders after the payment of or provision for all of our debts and other liabilities, and the preferential rights
of and the payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding shares of preferred stock. The holder of Class B common stock
will not be entitled to receive any liquidation distributions with respect to the shares of Class B common stock.
Fully
Paid and Non-Assessable
All
outstanding shares of our Class A common stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Other
Matters
There
are no preemptive, conversion or redemption privileges, nor sinking fund provisions with respect to our common stock.
Preferred
Stock
Our
board of directors has the authority, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred
stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series and to fix the designation,
powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each series and any of its qualifications, limitations or restrictions, in each case
without further vote or action by our stockholders. Our board of directors can also increase or decrease the number of shares of any
series of preferred stock, but not below the number of shares of that series then outstanding, without any further vote or action by
our stockholders. Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely
affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility
in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring
or preventing a change in control of our Company and might adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the voting and other
rights of the holders of our common stock. We have no current plan to issue any shares of preferred stock.
We
will fix the designations, voting powers, preferences and rights of the preferred stock of each series we issue under this prospectus,
as well as the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, in the certificate of designation relating to that series. We will
file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from reports that
we file with the SEC, the form of any certificate of designation that contains the terms of the series of preferred stock we may offer.
We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of preferred stock that we may offer, including, to
the extent applicable:
|
● |
the
title and stated value; |
|
|
|
|
● |

any

Anti-Takeover
Provisions
Certain
provisions of Delaware law, as well as our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws, may have the effect of delaying, deferring or
discouraging another person from acquiring control of us. These provisions include the items described below. They are also designed,
in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate first with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits
of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of
discouraging a proposal to acquire us because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Delaware
Law
We
are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, which generally prohibits a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a
“business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction
in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless:
|
● |
the
business combination or transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder was approved by the board
of directors prior to the time that the stockholder became an interested stockholder; |
|
|
|
|
● |
upon
consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder
owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding shares owned
by directors who are also officers of the corporation and shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do
not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer;
or |
|
|
|
|
● |
at
or subsequent to the time the stockholder became an interested stockholder, the business combination was approved by the board of
directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote
of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
In
general, Section 203 of the DGCL defines a “business combination” to include mergers, asset sales and other transactions
resulting in financial benefit to a stockholder and an “interested stockholder” as a person who, together with affiliates
and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock.
A
Delaware corporation may “opt out” of these provisions with an express provision in its original certificate of incorporation
or an express provision in its certificate of incorporation or bylaws resulting from an amendment approved by at least a majority of
the outstanding voting shares. We have not opted out of these provisions. As a result, mergers or other takeover or change in control
attempts of us may be discouraged or prevented. These provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing changes in
control of our Company.
Certificate
of Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions
Our
certificate of incorporation and our bylaws include a number of provisions that could deter hostile takeovers or delay or prevent changes
in control of our board of directors or management team, including the following:
Dual
Class Stock
As
described above in “—Class A common stock—Voting Rights,” our certificate of incorporation provides for a dual
class common stock structure, which will provide the holder of Class B common stock with significant influence over matters requiring
stockholder approval, including the election of directors and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of our
Company or its assets.
Each
share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote, while each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes. Driven Lifestyle
is the only holder of shares of our Class B common stock and does not have any transfer, conversion, registration or economic rights
with respect to such shares of Class B common stock. In the event Driven Lifestyle or its affiliates relinquish beneficial ownership
of any of the DL Initial Class A Shares at any time, one share of Class B common stock held by Driven Lifestyle will be cancelled for
each such DL Initial Class A Share no longer beneficially owned by Driven Lifestyle or its affiliates. Any pledge of DL Initial Class
A Shares by Driven Lifestyle or its affiliates will not constitute a relinquishment of such beneficial ownership. The DL Initial Class
A Shares and shares of Class B common stock held by Driven Lifestyle will be adjusted in equal proportions for any stock dividend, stock
split or similar transaction undertaken by the Company.
Board
of Directors Vacancies
Our
certificate of incorporation and bylaws authorize only our board of directors to fill vacant directorships, including newly created seats.
In addition, the number of directors constituting our board of directors will be permitted to be set only by a resolution adopted by
a majority vote of our entire board of directors. These provisions would prevent a stockholder from increasing the size of our board
of directors and then gaining control of our board of directors by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees. This makes
it more difficult to change the composition of our board of directors and promotes continuity of management.
Stockholder
Action; Special Meeting of Stockholders
Our
certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by a majority of our board
of directors, the chairperson of our board of directors, our Chief Executive Officer or our President, thus prohibiting a stockholder
from calling a special meeting. These provisions might delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or
for stockholders controlling a majority of our capital stock to take any action, including the removal of directors.
Advance
Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations
Our
bylaws provide advance notice procedures for stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate
candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders. Our bylaws also specify certain requirements regarding the
form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions might preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual
meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders if the proper procedures are not
followed. We expect that these provisions may also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies
to elect any potential acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our Company.
Removal
of Directors
Our
certificate of incorporation provides that directors may only be removed for cause and upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting power of our capital stock voting together as a single class.
No
Cumulative Voting
The
DGCL provides that stockholders are not entitled to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless a corporation’s certificate
of incorporation provides otherwise. Our certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting.
Amendment
of Charter and Bylaw Provisions
Amendments
to our certificate of incorporation will require the approval of two-thirds of the outstanding voting power of our common stock. Our
certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that approval of stockholders holding two-thirds of our outstanding voting power voting
as a single class is required for stockholders to amend or adopt any provision of our bylaws.
Issuance
of Undesignated Preferred Stock
Our
board of directors has the authority, without further action by our stockholders, to issue shares of undesignated preferred stock with
rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to time by our board of directors. The existence of authorized
but unissued shares of preferred stock would enable our board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain
control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or other means.
Limits
on Ability of Stockholders to Act by Written Consent
Our
certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that our stockholders may only act by written consent without a meeting and without prior
notice, if a consent is in writing, setting forth the actions so taken, signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than
the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote
thereon were present and voted. This limit on the ability of our stockholders to act by written consent may lengthen the amount of time
required to take stockholder actions.
Board
Classification
Our
board of directors is divided into two classes, with an alternating class being elected each year by our stockholders. The directors
in each class will serve for a two-year term. A third party may be discouraged from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to
obtain control of us because it is more difficult and time-consuming for stockholders to replace a majority of the directors on a classified
board.
Exclusive
Forum
Our
certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action
asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors or officers to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action
asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or our certificate of incorporation or bylaws or (iv) any
action asserting a claim that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine, shall be the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware;
provided that the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange
Act, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction; and provided further that, if and only if the Court
of Chancery of the State of Delaware dismisses any such action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, such action may be brought in
another state or federal court sitting in the State of Delaware. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws also provide that the federal
district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of
action against us or any of our directors, officers, employees or agents arising under the Securities Act. Any person or entity purchasing
or otherwise acquiring any interest in our securities shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this provision. Although we
believe these provisions benefit us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law for the specified types of
actions and proceedings, these provisions may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against us or our directors and officers. There
is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provisions, and the enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other
companies’ charter documents has been successfully challenged in legal proceedings. While the Delaware courts have determined that
such choice of forum provisions are facially valid, a stockholder may nevertheless seek to bring a claim in a venue other than those
designated in the exclusive forum provisions, and there can be no assurance that such provisions will be enforced by a court in those
other jurisdictions. We note that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

DESCRIPTION
OF THE PRIVATE PLACEMENT
On
July 26, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors named on
the signature pages thereto. The Purchase Agreement provided for the sale and issuance by us in a registered direct offering (the “Registered
Direct Offering”) of an aggregate of: (i) 351,928 shares (“Shares”) of our Class A common stock, (ii) pre-funded warrants
(the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 108,902 shares of our Class A common stock, and (iii) in a
concurrent private placement (the “Private Placement” and together with the Registered Direct Offering, the “Offering”),
Series A Warrants to purchase up to 460,830 shares of our Class A common stock and Series B Warrants to purchase up to 460,830 shares
of our Class A common stock.
The
offering price per Share and accompanying Purchase Warrants (one Series A Warrant and one Series B Warrant) was $2.17 and the offering
price per Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Purchase Warrants (one Series A Warrant and one Series B Warrant) was $2.1699. Each Pre-Funded
Warrant is exercisable immediately for one share of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and will expire
when exercised in full.
The
Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrants described above (and the shares of our Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded
Warrants) were offered and sold pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-262462) (the “Registration
Statement”), a base prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time it originally became effective (the “Base
Prospectus”), and a prospectus supplement, dated July 26, 2024, to the Base Prospectus (the “Prospectus Supplement”),
which was filed with the SEC on July 29, 2024 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Securities Act. The Company received gross proceeds
from the Offering of approximately $1.0 million. The Offering closed on July 29, 2024.
The
Purchase Warrants will become exercisable on the effective date of the stockholder approval for the issuance of the shares of Class A
common stock issuable upon exercise of the Purchase Warrants (the “Stockholder Approval Date”). The
Series A Warrants will expire five and one-half years following the Stockholder Approval Date and the Series B Warrants will expire 18
months following the Stockholder Approval Date. The Purchase Warrants and the Warrant Shares were not registered under the Securities
Act pursuant to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement. The Purchase Warrants and the Warrant Shares were offered pursuant
to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation
D promulgated thereunder.
Pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to file a registration statement to register the resale of the Warrant Shares as soon as practicable
(and in any event no later than August 28, 2024, which is 30 calendar days following the closing of the Offering (the “Closing
Date”)) and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within 60 days following
the Closing Date (or within 90 days following the Closing Date if the SEC informs us that it intends to review such registration statement).
The registration statement on Form S-1, of which this prospectus forms a part, is being filed to satisfy the requirement set forth in
the Purchase Agreement to register for resale the Warrant Shares.
The
Purchase Agreement also provides that we shall not to issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance
of any shares of Class A common stock or Class A common stock equivalents or to file any registration statement or any amendment or supplement
thereto, subject to certain exceptions, for 75 days following the Closing Date. Further, we are prohibited from effecting or entering
into an agreement to effect any issuance of Class A common stock or Class A common stock equivalents involving a Variable Rate Transaction
(as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) until the six month anniversary of the Closing Date, subject to certain exceptions.
We
entered into an engagement letter with Wainwright, dated November 6, 2023, the term of which was subsequently amended by us and Wainwright,
pursuant to which Wainwright agreed to act as the exclusive placement agent for us, on a reasonable best-efforts basis, in connection
with the Offering. We agreed to pay Wainwright an aggregate cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. We also agreed
to pay Wainwright certain expenses of $30,000 for non-accountable expenses and $15,950 for clearing fees. Additionally, we agreed to
issue to Wainwright or its designees, the Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to 27,650 shares of Class A common stock, which is
equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock and shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise
of the Pre-Funded Warrants included in Offering. The Placement Agent Warrants have substantially the same terms as the Purchase Warrants
described above, except that the Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price of $2.7125 per share (representing 125% of the combined
purchase price per Share and accompanying Purchase Warrants) and will expire five (5) years following the commencement of the sales of
the securities in the Offering. The Placement Agent Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable thereunder were offered
pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or
Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
DILUTION
If
you invest in our shares of Class A common stock by purchasing Warrant Shares in this offering, your interest may be immediately and
substantially diluted to the extent of the difference between the exercise price paid per share and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible
book value per share of our Class A common stock. Net tangible book value per share is equal to the amount of our total tangible assets,
less total liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding shares of our Class A common stock. As of June 30, 2024, our historical
net tangible book value was approximately $(1.8 million), or $(0.65) per share.
Our
pro forma net tangible book value per share, which takes into account: (i) our issuance of 351,928 shares of our Class A common stock
on July 29, 2024 in a registered direct offering and our receipt of $750,000 in net proceeds; and (ii) our issuance of 108,902 shares
of our Class A common stock upon the exercise of all outstanding Pre-Funded Warrants, would have been approximately $(1.0 million), or
$(0.32) per share, at June 30, 2024.
Assuming
the pro forma adjustments above and the cash exercise of all of the Purchase Warrants and all of the Placement Agent Warrants, resulting
in the issuance of an aggregate of 949,310 shares of our Class A common stock upon the exercise thereof and our receipt of aggregate
gross proceeds of $2,075,003, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value would have been approximately $1.1 million, or $0.33
per share, at June 30, 2024. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of approximately $0.67 per share to our
existing stockholders, and an immediate dilution of $1.83 per share to investors purchasing Series A Warrant Shares and Series B Warrant
Shares and $2.3725 per share to investors purchasing Placement Agent Warrant Shares.
The
following table illustrates the per share dilution to investors purchasing shares in an offering using this prospectus:

| | | |
$ | 1.83 | |
Dilution per share to investors purchasing Placement Agent Warrant Shares | |
| | | |
$ | 2.3725 | |
The
number of shares of our Class A common stock that will be outstanding immediately after this offering as shown above is based on 2,722,728
shares outstanding as of June 30, 2024, and, unless otherwise indicated excludes, as of that date:
|
● |
97,919
shares of our Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options with a weighted average exercise price
of $135.95 per share; |
|
● |
2,081
additional shares of our Class A common stock reserved for future issuance under our equity incentive plans; and |
|
● |
33,574
shares of our Class A common stock to be issued upon exercise of outstanding warrants having a weighted average exercise price of
$25.95 per share. |
To
the extent that any outstanding options are exercised, new options or other securities are issued under our equity incentive plans, or
we otherwise issue additional shares of Class A common stock in the future, at a price less than the public offering price, there will
be further dilution to the investors. 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 equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.
SELLING
STOCKHOLDERS
The
shares of our Class A common stock being offered by the Selling Stockholders are those issuable to the Selling Stockholders upon exercise
of the Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants. For additional information regarding the issuances of the
Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants, see “Description of the Private Placement” elsewhere
in this prospectus. We are registering the shares of our Class A common stock in order to permit the Selling Stockholders to offer the
shares of Class A common stock for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the Series A Warrants, the Series B Warrants
and the Placement Agent Warrants, the Selling Stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years,
except that on February 2, 2023, February 3, 2023 and February 6, 2023 (the “February 2023 Offerings”), we closed three (3)
registered direct offerings pursuant to which we issued the following securities to the Selling Stockholders: (i) an aggregate of 33,574
were issued to Wainwright, and (ii) placement agent warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 33,574 shares of our Class A common stock
were issued to the following individuals (each of whom is an associated person of Wainwright): (a) Michael Vasinkevich (warrants to purchase
21,529 shares of our Class A common stock), (b) Noam Rubinstein (warrants to purchase 7,387 shares of our Class A common stock common
stock), (c) Craig Schwabe (warrants to purchase 4,322 shares of our Class A common stock) and (d) Charles Worthman (warrants to purchase
336 shares of our Class A common stock). In addition, in connection with each of the February 2023 Offerings, Wainwright received a cash
fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds; (ii) a non-accountable expense allowance of $50,000 for the first February 2023 Offering
and $25,000 for the second and third February 2023 Offerings; and (iii) $15,950 for closing fees. Wainwright also received the compensation
for the Offering that closed on July 29, 2024 as described under the section “Description of the Private Placement” included
elsewhere in this prospectus.
The
table below lists the Selling Stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of our Class A common
stock by each of the Selling Stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of our Class A common stock beneficially owned
by the Selling Stockholders, including its ownership of the shares of our Class A common stock, the Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants,
the Placement Agent Warrants and/or any of our securities previously issued to the Selling Stockholders, as of August 16, 2024, assuming
exercise in full of the Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants held by the Selling Stockholders on that date,
without regard to any limitations on exercises. As of August 16, 2024 (and prior to this Offering), we had 3,183,558 shares of our Class
A common stock outstanding. Assuming the exercise in full of the Series A Warrants, the Series B Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants
and the issuance of the Series A Warrant Shares, the Series B Warrant Shares and the Placement Agent Warrant Shares, we will have 4,132,868
shares of our Class A common stock outstanding as of August 16, 2024.
The
third column lists the maximum number of shares of our Class A common stock being offered by this prospectus by the Selling Stockholders
without regard to any limitations on exercises. In accordance with the terms of the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants with the
Investor Selling Stockholders and an agreement with Wainwright, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the maximum number of
shares of our Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants,
determined as if the outstanding the Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants were exercised in full as of the
trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC, each as of the trading day immediately
preceding the applicable date of determination and all subject to adjustment as provided in the registration right agreement, without
regard to any limitations on the exercise of the Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants. The fourth and
fifth columns assume the sale of all of the shares offered by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.
Under
the terms of the Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants, the Selling Stockholders may not exercise the
Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants or the Placement Agent Warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such Selling Stockholders,
together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of our Class A common stock that would exceed
4.99% of our then outstanding Class A common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of our
Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the second and third
columns do not reflect this limitation. The Selling Stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan
of Distribution.”

The
Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants are subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%,
which in each case restricts each of the Selling Stockholders from exercising that portion of the Warrants that would result in the
Selling Stockholders and its affiliates owning, after exercise, a number of shares of our Class A common stock in excess of the beneficial
ownership limitation (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). The number of shares set forth in this column does not

PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION

Selling Stockholder of the securities and any of its pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any

brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |

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; |
|
|
|
|
● |
an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |

|
|
● |
privately
negotiated transactions; |

price per security; |
|
|
|
|
● |
through
the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |

|
|
● |
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The
Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available,
rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers
engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser)
in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in
excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or
markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.
In
connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers
or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they
assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan
or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option
or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the
delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer
or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The
Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters”
within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. 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. Each Selling Stockholders has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding,
directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
We
are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the securities.
We
agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the date on which the Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants, the Placement Agent Warrants,
the Series A Warrant Shares, the Series B Warrant Shares and the Placement Agent Warrant Shares have been sold. Under applicable rules
and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage
in market making activities with respect to the Class A common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M,
prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the
Class A common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling
Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the
sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
