and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, collectively referred to as “we”, “us”, “our”, “SRM”
or the “Company”.
THE
COMPANY
General
Overview
SRM
Entertainment, Inc. (“SRM Inc”) is a Nevada corporation and was incorporated on April 22, 2022. SRM. Entertainment Limited
(“SRM Ltd”), is a limited company incorporated in the Hong Kong, now a Special Administrative Region of the People’s
Republic of China, on January 23, 1981 and formerly owned by Jupiter Wellness, Inc. Effective August 14, 2023, SRM Inc acquired SRM Ltd.
The acquisition of SRM Ltd by SRM Inc has been accounted for as a Reverse Acquisition (see Basis of Presentation below). The combined
SRM Inc and SRM Ltd are collectively referred to as the Company or SRM.
On
December 9, 2022, we entered into a stock exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Jupiter Wellness, Inc. (“Jupiter”)
to govern the separation of our business from Jupiter. On May 26, 2023, we amended and restated the Exchange Agreement (the “Share
Exchange”) to include additional information regarding the distribution and the separation of our business from Jupiter. The separation
as set forth in the Share Exchange with Jupiter closed August 14, 2023. Pursuant to the Share Exchange, on May 31, 2023, we issued 6,500,000
shares of our common stock (representing 79.3% of our outstanding shares of common stock) to Jupiter in exchange for 2 ordinary shares
of SRM Ltd (representing all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of SRM Ltd). Effective as of September 15, 2023, Jupiter changed
its name to Safety Shot, Inc. (“Safety Shot”). As of October 15, 2024, Safety Shot owns 28.2% shares of our common stock.
Basis
of Presentation
The
financial statements incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The acquisition
of SRM Ltd and SRM Inc occurred on August 14, 2023. The financial statements are prepared using Reverse Acquisition Accounting and as
such, for legal purposes SRM Inc was the acquiring company and for GAAP accounting, SRM Ltd was the acquiring company. Therefore, the
financial statements are presented using the historical financial statements of SRM Ltd.
Business
The
Company is a trusted toy and souvenir designer and developer, selling into the world’s largest theme parks and entertainment venues.
Our
business is built on the principle that almost everyone is a fan of something and the evolution of pop culture is leading to increasing
opportunities for fan loyalty. We create whimsical, fun and unique products that enable fans to express their affinity for their favorite
“something”-whether it is a movie, TV show, favorite celebrity, or favorite restaurant. We infuse our distinct designs and
aesthetic sensibility into a wide variety of product categories, including figures, plush, accessories, apparel, and homewares. With
our unique style, expertise in pop culture, broad product distribution and highly accessible price points, we have developed a passionate
following for our products that has underpinned our growth. We believe we sit at the nexus of pop culture-content providers value us
for our broad network of retail customers, retailers value us for our portfolio of pop culture products and pop culture insights, and
consumers value us for our distinct, stylized products and the content they represent.
Pop
culture pervades modern life and almost everyone is a fan of something. Today, more quality content is available and technology innovation
has made content accessible anytime, anywhere. As a result, the breadth and depth of pop culture fandom resembles, and in many cases
exceeds, the type of fandom previously associated only with sports. Everyday interactions at home, work or with friends are increasingly
influenced by pop culture.
We
have invested strategically in our relationships with key constituents in pop culture. Content providers value us for our broad network
of retail customers and retailers value us for our pop culture products, pop culture insights and ability to drive consumer traffic.
Consumers, who value us for our distinct, stylized products, remain at the center of everything we do.
On
September 3, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Suretone Entertainment,
Inc. (“Suretone” or “Seller”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire certain assets related to the movie
with the title The Kid (directed by Vincent D’Onofrio) from the Seller, for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000 (the “Purchase
Price”). Jordan Schur, the owner and Chief Executive Officer of Suretone, is a board member and President of Safety Shot. Prior
to the transaction, Safety Shot held 34.27% of the Company’s common stock.
In
consideration for the acquired assets, the Buyer paid the Purchase Price by: (i) paying $250,000 in cash on September 3, 2024; (ii) issuing
1,500,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (valued at $0.8333 per share); and (iii)
issuing a secured promissory note in the original amount of $1,500,000 (the “Secured Note”).
Content
Providers: We have licensing relationships with many established content providers, and our products appear in venues
such as Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, Universal Studios, SeaWorld, Cedar Fair, Herschend Family Entertainment and Merlin Entertainment.
We currently have licenses with Smurfs, The ICEE Company and Zoonicorn LLC, from which we can create multiple products based on each
character within. Content providers trust us to design, create and manufacture unique, stylized extensions of their intellectual property
that extend the relevance of their content with consumers through ongoing engagement, helping to maximize the lifetime value of their
content.
Consumers:
Fans are increasingly looking for ways to express their affinity for and engage with their favorite pop culture content. Over time, many
of our consumers evolve from occasional buyers to more frequent purchasers, whom we categorize as enthusiasts or collectors. We create
innovative products to appeal to a broad array of fans across consumer demographic groups-men, women, boys and girls-not a single, narrow
demographic. We currently offer an array of products that sell across several categories. Our products are generally priced between $2.50
and $50.00, which allows our diverse consumer base to express their fandom frequently and impulsively. We continue to introduce innovative
products designed to facilitate fan engagement at different price points and styles.
We
have developed a nimble and low-fixed cost production model. The strength of our management team and relationships with content providers,
retailers and third-party manufacturers allows us to move from product concept to a new product tactfully. As a result, we can dynamically
manage our business to balance current content releases and pop culture trends with timeless content based on classic movies, such as
Harry Potter or Star Wars. This has allowed us to deliver significant growth while lessening our dependence on individual content releases.

RISK
FACTORS
Investment
in any securities offered pursuant to this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement involves risks. You should carefully consider
the risk factors incorporated by reference to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form
10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K we file after the date of this prospectus, and all other information contained or incorporated by
reference into this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act, and the risk factors and other information
contained in the applicable prospectus supplement before acquiring any of such securities. The occurrence of any of these risks might
cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities.
Risks
Relating to this Offering
We
may allocate the net proceeds from this offering in ways that you or other stockholders may not approve.
We
currently intend to use the net proceeds of this offering, if any, for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include
capital expenditures and the financing of possible acquisitions or business expansions. This expected use of the net proceeds from this
offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions. Because the number and variability of factors
that will determine our use of the proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended
use. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend
the proceeds in ways that do not necessarily improve our operating results or enhance the value of our common stock. See “Use of
Proceeds.
Sales
of our common stock in this offering, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause a drop in the market price of our common
stock.
We
may issue and sell shares of our common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1,044,000 from time to time in connection with this
offering. The issuance and sale from time to time of these new shares of common stock, or our ability to issue these new shares of common
stock in this offering could have the effect of depressing the market price of our common stock.
We
may sell additional shares of our common stock to fund our operations, which sales may occur during or immediately after sales pursuant
to this offering are commenced, which would result in dilution to our shareholders.
In
order to raise additional funds to support our operations, we may sell additional shares of our common stock, which would result in dilution
to all of our shareholders that may adversely impact our business. See “Dilution.” In particular, at any time, including
during the pendency of this offering, we may sell additional shares of our common stock, other than pursuant to this offering, in amounts
that may be material to us, which may be in amounts that are equal to or greater than the size of this offering, including, without limitation,
through underwritten public offerings, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, or any combination of the above, subject, in
certain circumstances, to the consent of the Agent. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares or other securities in any
other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater 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 shareholders. The price per share at which
we sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock in future transactions
may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering.
SPECIAL
NOTICE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, principally in the sections entitled “Risk
Factors.” All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this prospectus, including statements regarding
future events, our future financial performance, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are
forward-looking statements. We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by terminology including “anticipates,”
“believes,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,”
“intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “should,”
or “will” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although we do not make forward looking statements
unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy. These statements are only predictions
and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks outlined under “Risk Factors” or
elsewhere in this prospectus, which may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking
statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the
times at, or by which, that performance or those results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available
at the time they are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject
to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from what is expressed in or suggested
by the forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date they are made. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We assume no
obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting
forward-looking information, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we do update one or more forward-looking
statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We
currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, if any, for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The
timing and amount of our actual expenditures will be based on many factors, including cash flows from operations and the anticipated
growth of our business. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds
to us from this offering. As a result, our management will have broad discretion regarding the timing and application of the net proceeds
from this offering. Pending their ultimate use, we intend to invest the net proceeds in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing
instruments.

our business and therefore do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Payment of future dividends, if any, will

results, current and anticipated cash needs and plans for expansion.

THE
COMPANY
General
Overview
SRM
Entertainment, Inc. (“SRM Inc”) is a Nevada corporation and was incorporated on April 22, 2022. SRM. Entertainment Limited
(“SRM Ltd”), is a limited company incorporated in the Hong Kong, now a Special Administrative Region of the People’s
Republic of China, on January 23, 1981 and formerly owned by Jupiter Wellness, Inc.. Effective August 14, 2023, SRM Inc acquired SRM
Ltd. The acquisition of SRM Ltd by SRM Inc has been accounted for as a Reverse Acquisition (see Basis of Presentation below). The combined
SRM Inc and SRM Ltd are collectively referred to as the Company or SRM.
On
December 9, 2022, we entered into a stock exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Jupiter Wellness, Inc. (“Jupiter”)
to govern the separation of our business from Jupiter. On May 26, 2023, we amended and restated the Exchange Agreement (the “Share
Exchange”) to include additional information regarding the distribution and the separation of our business from Jupiter. The separation
as set forth in the Share Exchange with Jupiter closed August 14, 2023. Pursuant to the Share Exchange, on May 31, 2023, we issued 6,500,000
shares of our common stock (representing 79.3% of our outstanding shares of common stock) to Jupiter in exchange for 2 ordinary shares
of SRM Ltd (representing all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of SRM Ltd). As of March 20, 2024, Jupiter owns 35% shares
of our common stock.
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The acquisition
of SRM Ltd and SRM Inc occurred on August 14, 2023. The financial statements are prepared using Reverse Acquisition Accounting and as
such, for legal purposes SRM Inc was the acquiring company and for GAAP accounting, SRM Ltd was the acquiring company. Therefore, the
financial statements are presented using the historical financial statements of SRM Ltd.
Business
The
Company is a trusted toy and souvenir designer and developer, selling into the world’s largest theme parks and entertainment venues.
Our
business is built on the principle that almost everyone is a fan of something and the evolution of pop culture is leading to increasing
opportunities for fan loyalty. We create whimsical, fun and unique products that enable fans to express their affinity for their favorite
“something”-whether it is a movie, TV show, favorite celebrity, or favorite restaurant. We infuse our distinct designs and
aesthetic sensibility into a wide variety of product categories, including figures, plush, accessories, apparel, and homewares. With
our unique style, expertise in pop culture, broad product distribution and highly accessible price points, we have developed a passionate
following for our products that has underpinned our growth. We believe we sit at the nexus of pop culture-content providers value us
for our broad network of retail customers, retailers value us for our portfolio of pop culture products and pop culture insights, and
consumers value us for our distinct, stylized products and the content they represent.
Pop
culture pervades modern life and almost everyone is a fan of something. Today, more quality content is available and technology innovation
has made content accessible anytime, anywhere. As a result, the breadth and depth of pop culture fandom resembles, and in many cases
exceeds, the type of fandom previously associated only with sports. Everyday interactions at home, work or with friends are increasingly
influenced by pop culture.
We
have invested strategically in our relationships with key constituents in pop culture. Content providers value us for our broad network
of retail customers and retailers value us for our pop culture products, pop culture insights and ability to drive consumer traffic.
Consumers, who value us for our distinct, stylized products, remain at the center of everything we do.
On
September 3, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Suretone Entertainment,
Inc. (“Suretone” or “Seller”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire certain assets related to the movie
with the title The Kid (directed by Vincent D’Onofrio) from the Seller, for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000 (the “Purchase
Price”). Jordan Schur, the owner and Chief Executive Officer of Suretone, is a board member and President of Safety Shot, Inc.
(“Safety Shot”). Prior to the transaction, Safety Shot held 34.27% of the Company’s common stock.
In
consideration for the acquired assets, the Buyer paid the Purchase Price by: (i) paying $250,000 in cash on September 3, 2024; (ii) issuing
1,500,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (valued at $0.8333 per share); and (iii)
issuing a secured promissory note in the original amount of $1,500,000 (the “Secured Note”).
Content
Providers: We have licensing relationships with many established content providers, and our products appear in venues
such as Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, Universal Studios, SeaWorld, Cedar Fair, Herschend Family Entertainment and Merlin Entertainment.
We currently have licenses with Smurfs, The ICEE Company and Zoonicorn LLC, from which we can create multiple products based on each
character within. Content providers trust us to design, create and manufacture unique, stylized extensions of their intellectual property
that extend the relevance of their content with consumers through ongoing engagement, helping to maximize the lifetime value of their
content.
Consumers:
Fans are increasingly looking for ways to express their affinity for and engage with their favorite pop culture content. Over time, many
of our consumers evolve from occasional buyers to more frequent purchasers, whom we categorize as enthusiasts or collectors. We create
innovative products to appeal to a broad array of fans across consumer demographic groups-men, women, boys and girls-not a single, narrow
demographic. We currently offer an array of products that sell across several categories. Our products are generally priced between $2.50
and $50.00, which allows our diverse consumer base to express their fandom frequently and impulsively. We continue to introduce innovative
products designed to facilitate fan engagement at different price points and styles.
We
have developed a nimble and low-fixed cost production model. The strength of our management team and relationships with content providers,
retailers and third-party manufacturers allows us to move from product concept to a new product tactfully. As a result, we can dynamically
manage our business to balance current content releases and pop culture trends with timeless content based on classic movies, such as
Harry Potter or Star Wars. This has allowed us to deliver significant growth while lessening our dependence on individual content releases.
RISK
FACTORS
Investment
in any securities offered pursuant to this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement involves risks. You should carefully consider
the risk factors incorporated by reference to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form
10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K we file after the date of this prospectus, and all other information contained or incorporated by
reference into this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act, and the risk factors and other information
contained in the applicable prospectus supplement before acquiring any of such securities. The occurrence of any of these risks might
cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities.
SPECIAL
NOTICE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, principally in the sections entitled “Risk
Factors.” All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this prospectus, including statements regarding
future events, our future financial performance, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are
forward-looking statements. We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by terminology including “anticipates,”
“believes,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,”
“intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “should,”
or “will” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although we do not make forward looking statements
unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy. These statements are only predictions
and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks outlined under “Risk Factors” or
elsewhere in this prospectus, which may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking
statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the
times at, or by which, that performance or those results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available
at the time they are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject
to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from what is expressed in or suggested
by the forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date they are made. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We assume no
obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting
forward-looking information, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we do update one or more forward-looking
statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We
intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
DESCRIPTION
OF CAPITAL STOCK
The
following description of our capital stock is not complete and may not contain all the information you should consider before investing
in our capital stock. This description is summarized from, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, our Articles of Incorporation,
as amended and Bylaws, as amended which have been publicly filed with the SEC. See “Where You Can Find More Information; Incorporation
by Reference.”
Description
of Common Stock
Our
authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001
per share (the “Preferred Stock”), of which 1,000,000 shares are designated as Series A Preferred Stock. As of September
4, 2024, there were 10,415,500 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.
Dividend
Rights
Subject
to preferences that may apply to any shares of Preferred Stock outstanding at the time, the holders of our Common Stock may receive dividends
out of funds legally available if our board of directors (the “Board”), in its discretion, determines to issue dividends
and then only at the times and in the amounts that our Board may determine. The Company did not declare or pay any dividends for the
year ended December 31, 2023.
Voting
Rights
Each
stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held by such stockholder. The Common Stock shares do not contain cumulative
voting rights.
No
Preemptive or Similar Rights
Our
Common Stock is not entitled to preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights, and is not subject to redemption or sinking
fund provisions.
Right
to Receive Liquidation Distributions
Holders
of common stock are entitled to dividends when, and if, declared by the Board out of funds legally available therefore; and then, only
after all preferential dividends have been paid on any outstanding Preferred Stock.
Transfer
Agent and Registrar
The
Company’s transfer agent is ClearTrust Transfer, LLC with an address of 16540 Pointe Village Drive, Suite 210, Lutz, FL 33558 and
a phone number of (813) 235-4490.
The
Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbol “SRM”.
Anti-takeover
Effects of Our Articles of Incorporation and By-laws
The
holders of our Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of our directors, which makes it more difficult for
minority stockholders to be represented on the Board. Our articles of incorporation allow our Board to issue additional shares of our
Common Stock and new series of preferred stock without further approval of our stockholders. The existence of authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company by means
of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger, or otherwise.
Anti-Takeover
Provisions
Business
Combinations
The
“business combination” provisions of Sections 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive, of the Nevada Revised Statutes, or NRS, generally
prohibit a Nevada corporation with at least 200 stockholders of record, a “resident domestic corporation,” from engaging
in various “combination” transactions with any “interested stockholder” unless certain conditions are met or
the corporation has elected in its articles of incorporation to not be subject to these provisions. We have not elected to opt out of
these provisions and if we meet the definition of resident domestic corporation, now or in the future, our company will be subject to
these provisions.
A
“combination” is generally defined to include (a) a merger or consolidation of the resident domestic corporation or any subsidiary
of the resident domestic corporation with the interested stockholder or affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder; (b) any
sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer, or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions, by the resident
domestic corporation or any subsidiary of the resident domestic corporation to or with the interested stockholder or affiliate or associate
of the interested stockholder having: (i) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of
the resident domestic corporation, (ii) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding
shares of the resident domestic corporation, or (iii) 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the resident domestic corporation;
(c) the issuance or transfer in one transaction or series of transactions of shares of the resident domestic corporation or any subsidiary
of the resident domestic corporation having an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the resident domestic corporation to the
interested stockholder or affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder; and (d) certain other transactions with an interested
stockholder or affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder.
An
“interested stockholder” is generally defined as a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within two
years, did own) 10% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. An “affiliate” of the interested stockholder is any person
that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries is controlled by or is under common control with the interested stockholder.
An “associate” of an interested stockholder is any (a) corporation or organization of which the interested stockholder is
an officer or partner or is directly or indirectly the beneficial owner of 10% or more of any class of voting shares of such corporation
or organization; (b) trust or other estate in which the interested stockholder has a substantial beneficial interest or as to which the
interested stockholder serves as trustee or in a similar fiduciary capacity; or (c) relative or spouse of the interested stockholder,
or any relative of the spouse of the interested stockholder, who has the same home as the interested stockholder.
If
applicable, the prohibition is for a period of two years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder,
unless such transaction is approved by the board of directors prior to the date the interested stockholder obtained such status; or the
combination is approved by the board of directors and thereafter is approved at a meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote
of stockholders representing at least 60% of the outstanding voting power held by disinterested stockholders; and extends beyond the
expiration of the two-year period, unless (a) the combination was approved by the board of directors prior to the person becoming an
interested stockholder; (b) the transaction by which the person first became an interested stockholder was approved by the board of directors
before the person became an interested stockholder; (c) the transaction is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting
power held by disinterested stockholders at a meeting called for that purpose no earlier than two years after the date the person first
became an interested stockholder; or (d) if the consideration to be paid to all stockholders other than the interested stockholder is,
generally, at least equal to the highest of: (i) the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the three years
immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or in the transaction in which it became an interested stockholder,
whichever is higher, plus compounded interest and less dividends paid, (ii) the market value per share of common shares on the date of
announcement of the combination and the date the interested stockholder acquired the shares, whichever is higher, plus compounded interest
and less dividends paid, or (iii) for holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, plus accrued
dividends, if not included in the liquidation value. With respect to (i) and (ii) above, the interest is compounded at the rate for one-year
United States Treasury obligations from time to time in effect.
Applicability
of the Nevada business combination statute would discourage parties interested in taking control of our company if they cannot obtain
the approval of our Board. These provisions could prohibit or delay a merger or other takeover or change in control attempt and, accordingly,
may discourage attempts to acquire our company even though such a transaction may offer our stockholders the opportunity to sell their
stock at a price above the prevailing market price.
Control
Share Acquisitions
The
“control share” provisions of Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, of the NRS, apply to “issuing corporations”
that are Nevada corporations with at least 200 stockholders of record, including at least 100 stockholders of record who are Nevada residents,
and that conduct business directly or indirectly in Nevada, unless the corporation has elected to not be subject to these provisions.
The
control share statute prohibits an acquirer of shares of an issuing corporation, under certain circumstances, from voting its shares
of a corporation’s stock after crossing certain ownership threshold percentages, unless the acquirer obtains approval of the target
corporation’s disinterested stockholders. The statute specifies three thresholds: (a) one-fifth or more but less than one-third,
(b) one-third but less than a majority, and (c) a majority or more, of the outstanding voting power. Generally, once a person acquires
shares in excess of any of the thresholds, those shares and any additional shares acquired within 90 days thereof become “control
shares” and such control shares are deprived of the right to vote until disinterested stockholders restore the right. These provisions
also provide that if control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired a majority or more of all voting
power, all other stockholders who do not vote in favor of authorizing voting rights to the control shares are entitled to demand payment
for the fair value of their shares in accordance with statutory procedures established for dissenters’ rights.
A
corporation may elect to not be governed by, or “opt out” of, the control shares provisions by making an election in its
articles of incorporation or bylaws, provided that the opt-out election must be in place on the 10th day following the date an acquiring
person has acquired a controlling interest, that is, crossing any of the three thresholds described above. We have not opted out of these
provisions and will be subject to the control share provisions of the NRS if we meet the definition of an issuing corporation upon an
acquiring person acquiring a controlling interest unless we later opt out of these provisions and the opt out is in effect on the 10th
day following such occurrence.
The
effect of the Nevada control share statute is that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with the acquiring person, will
obtain only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting.
The Nevada control share law, if applicable, could have the effect of discouraging takeovers of our company.

Unless
otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will issue debt securities in fully registered form without coupons and
in denominations of $1,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000, and interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months. If any interest payment date or the maturity date falls on a day that is not a business day, then the payment will be
made on the next business day without additional interest and with the same effect as if it were made on the originally scheduled date.
“Business day” means any calendar day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in New York, New York, and on which
the trustee and commercial banks are open for business in New York, New York.
Unless
we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, each series of our senior debt securities will rank equally in right of payment with
all of our other unsubordinated debt. The subordinated debt securities will rank junior in right of payment and be subordinate to all
of our unsubordinated debt.
Unless
otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the trustee will act as paying agent and registrar for the debt securities
under the indenture. We may act as paying agent under the indenture.
The
prospectus supplement will contain a description of United States federal income tax consequences relating to the debt securities, to
the extent applicable.
Covenants
The
applicable prospectus supplement will describe any covenants, such as restrictive covenants restricting us or our subsidiaries, if any,
from incurring, issuing, assuming or guarantying any indebtedness or restricting us or our subsidiaries, if any, from paying dividends
or acquiring any of our or its capital stock.
Consolidation,
Merger and Transfer of Assets
The
indenture permits a consolidation or merger between us and another entity and/or the sale, conveyance or lease by us of all or substantially
all of our property and assets, provided that:
● |
the
resulting or acquiring entity, if other than us, is organized and existing under the laws of a United States jurisdiction and assumes
all of our responsibilities and liabilities under the indenture, including the payment of all amounts due on the debt securities
and performance of the covenants in the indenture; |
|
|
● |
immediately
after the transaction, and giving effect to the transaction, no event of default under the indenture exists; and |
|
|
● |
we
have delivered to the trustee an officers’ certificate stating that the transaction and, if a supplemental indenture is required
in connection with the transaction, the supplemental indenture comply with the indenture and that all conditions precedent to the
transaction contained in the indenture have been satisfied. |
If
we consolidate or merge with or into any other entity, or sell or lease all or substantially all of our assets in compliance with the
terms and conditions of the indenture, the resulting or acquiring entity will be substituted for us in the indenture and the debt securities
with the same effect as if it had been an original party to the indenture and the debt securities. As a result, such successor entity
may exercise our rights and powers under the indenture and the debt securities, in our name and, except in the case of a lease, we will
be released from all our liabilities and obligations under the indenture and under the debt securities.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, we may transfer all of our property and assets to another entity if, immediately after giving effect to the transfer,
such entity is our wholly owned subsidiary. The term “wholly owned subsidiary” means any subsidiary in which we and/or our
other wholly owned subsidiaries, if any, own all of the outstanding capital stock.
Modification
and Waiver
Under
the indenture, some of our rights and obligations and some of the rights of the holders of the debt securities may be modified or amended
with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities affected
by the modification or amendment. However, the following modifications and amendments will not be effective against any holder without
its consent:
● |
a
change in the stated maturity date of any payment of principal or interest; |
|
|
● |
a
reduction in the principal amount of or interest on any debt securities; |
|
|
● |
an
alteration or impairment of any right to convert at the rate or upon the terms provided in the indenture; |
|
|
● |
a
change in the currency in which any payment on the debt securities is payable; |
|
|
● |
an
impairment of a holder’s right to sue us for the enforcement of payments due on the debt securities; or |
|
|
● |
a
reduction in the percentage of outstanding debt securities required to consent to a modification or amendment of the indenture or
required to consent to a waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the indenture or certain defaults under the indenture. |
Under
the indenture, the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities may, on behalf
of all holders of the debt securities:
● |
waive
compliance by us with certain restrictive provisions of the indenture; and |
|
|
● |
waive
any past default under the indenture in accordance with the applicable provisions of the indenture, except a default in the payment
of the principal of or interest on any series of debt securities. |
Events
of Default
Unless
we indicate otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, “event of default” under the indenture will mean, with respect
to any series of debt securities, any of the following:
● |
failure
to pay interest on any debt security for 30 days after the payment is due; |
|
|
● |
failure
to pay the principal of any debt security when due, either at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise; |
|
|
● |
failure
on our part to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement in the indenture that applies to the debt securities for 90 days
after we have received written notice of the failure to perform in the manner specified in the indenture; and |
|
|
● |
certain
events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization. |
Remedies
Upon an Event of Default
If
an event of default occurs and continues, the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
debt securities of such series may declare the entire principal of all the debt securities to be due and payable immediately, except
that, if the event of default is caused by certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the entire principal of all of
the debt securities of such series will become due and payable immediately without any act on the part of the trustee or holders of the
debt securities. If such a declaration occurs, the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities
of such series can, subject to conditions, rescind the declaration.
The
indenture requires us to furnish to the trustee not less often than annually, a certificate from our principal executive officer, principal
financial officer or principal accounting officer, as the case may be, as to such officer’s knowledge of our compliance with all
conditions and covenants under the indenture. The trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any default, except
defaults in the payment of principal of or interest on any debt securities if the trustee in good faith determines that the withholding
of notice is in the best interests of the holders. For purposes of this paragraph, “default” means any event which is, or
after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an event of default under the indenture.
The
trustee is not obligated to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request, order or direction of any holders
of debt securities, unless the holders offer the trustee satisfactory security or indemnity. If satisfactory security or indemnity is
provided, then, subject to other rights of the trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt
securities may direct the time, method and place of:
● |
conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee; or |
|
|
● |
exercising
any trust or power conferred upon the trustee. |
The
holder of a debt security will have the right to begin any proceeding with respect to the indenture or for any remedy only if:
● |
the
holder has previously given the trustee written notice of a continuing event of default; |
|
|
● |
the
holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities have made a written request
of, and offered reasonable indemnity to, the trustee to begin such proceeding; |
|
|
● |
the
trustee has not started such proceeding within 60 days after receiving the request; and |
|
|
● |
no
direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the trustee under the indenture. |
However,
the holder of any debt security will have an absolute right to receive payment of principal of and interest on the debt security when
due and to institute suit to enforce this payment.
Satisfaction
and Discharge; Defeasance
Satisfaction
and Discharge of Indenture. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, if at any time:
● |
we
have paid the principal of and interest on all the debt securities of any series, except for debt securities which have been destroyed,
lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid in accordance with the indenture, as and when the same shall have become due
and payable; or |
|
|
● |
we
have delivered to the trustee for cancellation all debt securities of any series theretofore authenticated, except for debt securities
of such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in the indenture; or |
|
|
● |
all
the debt securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the trustee for cancellation have become due and payable, or are
by their terms are to become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year, and we have deposited
with the trustee, in trust, sufficient money or government obligations, or a combination thereof, to pay the principal, any interest
and any other sums due on the debt securities, on the dates the payments are due or become due under the indenture and the terms
of the debt securities, |
then
the indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the debt securities of such series, except for:
● |
rights
of registration of transfer and exchange, and our right of optional redemption; |
|
|
● |
substitution
of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen debt securities; |
|
|
● |
rights
of holders to receive payments of principal thereof and interest thereon upon the original stated due dates therefor (but not upon
acceleration) and remaining rights of the holders to receive mandatory sinking fund payments, if any; |
|
|
● |
the
rights, obligations and immunities of the trustee under the indenture; and |
|
|
● |
the
rights of the holders of such series of debt securities as beneficiaries thereof with respect to the property so deposited with the
trustee payable to all or any of them. |
Defeasance
and Covenant Defeasance. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may elect with respect to any debt
securities of any series either:
● |
to
defease and be discharged from all of our obligations with respect to such debt securities (“defeasance”), with certain
exceptions described below; or |
|
|
● |
to
be released from our obligations with respect to such debt securities under such covenants as may be specified in the applicable
prospectus supplement, and any omission to comply with those obligations will not constitute a default or an event of default with
respect to such debt securities (“covenant defeasance”). |
We
must comply with the following conditions before the defeasance or covenant defeasance can be effected:
● |
we
must irrevocably deposit with the indenture trustee or other qualifying trustee, under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement
in form and substance satisfactory to the trustee, trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the holders of such debt securities,
sufficient money or government obligations, or a combination thereof, to pay the principal, any interest and any other sums on the
due dates for those payments; and |
|
|
● |
we
must deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of such debt securities will not recognize income,
gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, to be effected
with respect to such debt securities and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the
same times as would be the case if such defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, had not occurred. |
In
connection with defeasance, any irrevocable trust agreement contemplated by the indenture must include, among other things, provision
for:
● |
payment
of the principal of and interest on such debt securities, if any, appertaining thereto when due (by redemption, sinking fund payments
or otherwise); |
|
|
● |
the
payment of the expenses of the trustee incurred or to be incurred in connection with carrying out such trust provisions; |
|
|
● |
rights
of registration, transfer, substitution and exchange of such debt securities in accordance with the terms stated in the indenture;
and |
|
|
● |
continuation
of the rights, obligations and immunities of the trustee as against the holders of such debt securities as stated in the indenture. |
The
accompanying prospectus supplement may further describe any provisions permitting or restricting defeasance or covenant defeasance with
respect to the debt securities of a particular series.
Global
Securities
Unless
otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, each debt security offered by this prospectus will be issued in the form
of one or more global debt securities representing all or part of that series of debt securities. This means that we will not issue certificates
for that series of debt securities to the holders. Instead, a global debt security representing that series will be deposited with, or
on behalf of, a securities depositary and registered in the name of the depositary or a nominee of the depositary. Any such depositary
must be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. We will describe the specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect
to a series of debt securities to be represented by a global security in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Notices
We
will give notices to holders of the debt securities by mail at the addresses listed in the security register. In the case of notice in
respect of unregistered securities or coupon securities, we may give notice by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in New
York, New York.
Governing
Law
The
particular terms of a series of debt securities will be described in a prospectus supplement relating to such series of debt securities.
Any indentures will be subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and may be supplemented or amended from
time to time following their execution. Unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will not be limited in the
amount of debt securities that we may issue, and neither the senior debt securities nor the subordinated debt securities will be secured
by any of our property or assets. Thus, by owning debt securities, you are one of our unsecured creditors.
Regarding
the Trustee
From
time to time, we may maintain deposit accounts and conduct other banking transactions with the trustee to be appointed under the indenture
or its affiliates in the ordinary course of business.
DESCRIPTION
OF WARRANTS
We
may offer to sell warrants from time to time. If we do so, we will describe the specific terms of the warrants in a prospectus supplement.
In particular, we may issue warrants for the purchase of Common Stock, preferred stock and/or debt securities in one or more series.
We may also issue warrants independently or together with other securities and the warrants may be attached to or separate from those
securities.
We
will evidence each series of warrants by warrant certificates that we will issue under a separate agreement. We will enter into the warrant
agreement with a warrant agent. We will indicate the name and address of the warrant agent in the applicable prospectus supplement relating
to a particular series of warrants.
We
will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of warrants, including:
● |
the
offering price and aggregate number of warrants offered; |

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

rights separately or together with one or more additional rights, preferred stock, Common Stock, warrants or any combination of those
securities in the form of units, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Each series of rights will be issued under a separate

standby arrangements, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. In connection with any rights offering, we may enter into
a standby underwriting or other arrangement with one or more underwriters or other persons pursuant to which such underwriters or other
persons would purchase any offered securities remaining unsubscribed for after such rights offering.
DESCRIPTION
OF UNITS
We
may issue units consisting of any combination of the other types of securities offered under this prospectus in one or more series. We
may evidence each series of units by unit certificates that we will issue under a separate agreement. We may enter into unit agreements
with a unit agent. We will indicate the name and address of the unit agent in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular
series of units.
The
following description, together with the additional information included in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the general
features of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. You should read any prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus
that we may authorize to be provided to you related to the series of units being offered, as well as the complete unit agreements that
contain the terms of the units. Specific unit agreements will contain additional important terms and provisions and we will file as an
exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from another report that we
file with the SEC, the form of each unit agreement relating to units offered under this prospectus.

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