RISKFACTORS

Investingin our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider and read carefully all of the risks and uncertainties describedbelow, as well as other information contained in this prospectus, before making an investment decision with respect to our securities.The occurrence of any of the following risks or those incorporated by reference, or additional risks and uncertainties not presentlyknown to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, resultsof operations or cash flows. In any such case, the trading price of common stock and the trading price of Series A warrants, if any,could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. This prospectus also contains forward-looking statements and estimatesthat involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statementsas a result of specific factors, including the risks and uncertainties described below and those incorporated by reference.

RisksRelated to our Business

TheCompany is a development stage business and subject to the many risks associated with new businesses.

Ourcurrent line of business has a limited operating history and our business is subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishmentof a new business enterprise. Our likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complicationsand delays frequently encountered in connection with development and expansion of a new business enterprise. We have incurred lossesand may continue to operate at a net loss for at least the next several years as we execute our business plan. We had a net loss of approximately$37.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, and a working capital deficit and accumulated deficit of approximately $0.9 millionand approximately $109.6 million, respectively.

Ourfinancial situation creates doubt whether we will continue as a going concern.

Therecan be no assurances that we will be able to achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations orobtain funding or additional financing through private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support our workingcapital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient,we will have to raise additional working capital and no assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available,will be on acceptable terms. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If adequate workingcapital is not available, we may be forced to discontinue operations, which would cause investors to lose their entire investment.

Basedon the report from our independent auditors dated April 6, 2022, management stated that our financial statements for the yearended December 31, 2021, were prepared assuming substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern fora period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have beenprepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidationof liabilities in the normal course of business.

Weare not profitable and may never be profitable.

Sinceinception through the present, we have been dependent on raising capital to support our working capital needs. During this same period,we have recorded net accumulated losses and are yet to achieve profitability. Our ability to achieve profitability depends upon manyfactors, including our ability to develop and commercialize our websites. There can be no assurance that we will ever achieve any significantrevenues or profitable operations. 

Ouroperating expenses exceed our revenues and will likely continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

Weare in an early stage of our development and we have not generated sufficient revenues to offset our operating expenses. Our operatingexpenses will likely continue to exceed our operating income for the foreseeable future, until such time as we are able to monetize ourbrands and generate substantial revenues, particularly as we undertake payment of the increased costs of operating as a public company.

Wehave assumed a significant amount of debt and our operations may not be able to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our debt obligations,which could reduce our financial flexibility and adversely impact our operations.

Currentlythe Company has considerable obligations under notes, related party notes and lines of credit outstanding with various lenders. Our abilityto make payments on such indebtedness will depend on our ability to generate cash flow. The Company may not generate sufficient cashflow from operations to enable us to repay this indebtedness and to fund other liquidity needs, including capital expenditure requirements.Such indebtedness could affect our operations in several ways, including the following:

Ahigh level of indebtedness increases the risk that we may default on our debt obligations. We may not be able to generate sufficientcash flows to pay the principal or interest on our debt. If we cannot service or refinance our indebtedness, we may have to take actionssuch as selling significant assets, seeking additional equity financing (which will result in additional dilution to stockholders) orreducing or delaying capital expenditures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.If we do not have sufficient funds and are otherwise unable to arrange financing, our assets may be foreclosed upon which could havea material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Wewill need additional capital, which may be difficult to raise as a result of our limited operating history or any number of other reasons.

Weexpect that we will need to raise additional capital within the next 12 months. However, in the event that we exceed our expected growth,we would need to raise additional capital. There is no assurance that additional equity or debt financing will be available to us whenneeded, on acceptable terms, or even at all. Our limited operating history makes investor evaluation and an estimation of our futureperformance substantially more difficult. As a result, investors may be unwilling to invest in us or such investment may be offered onterms or conditions that are not acceptable. In the event that we are not able to secure financing, we may have to scale back our growthplans or cease operations.

Weface intense competition. If we do not provide digital content that is useful to users, we may not remain competitive, and our potentialrevenues and operating results could be adversely affected.

Ourbusiness is rapidly evolving and intensely competitive, and is subject to changing technologies, shifting user needs, and frequent introductionsof new products and services. Our ability to compete successfully depends heavily on providing digital content that is useful and enjoyablefor our users and delivering our content through innovative technologies in the marketplace.

Weface competition from others in the digital content creation industry and media companies. Our current and potential competitors rangefrom large and established companies to emerging start-ups. Established companies have longer operating histories and more establishedrelationships with customers and users, and they can use their experience and resources in ways that could affect our competitive position,including by making acquisitions, investing aggressively in research and development, aggressively initiating intellectual property claims(whether or not meritorious) and competing aggressively for advertisers and websites. Emerging start-ups may be able to innovate andprovide products and services faster than we can.

Additionally,our operating results would suffer if our digital content is not appropriately timed with market opportunities, or if our digital contentis not effectively brought to market. As technology continues to develop, our competitors may be able to offer user experiences thatare, or that are seen to be, substantially similar to or better than, ours. This may force us to compete in different ways and expendsignificant resources in order to remain competitive. If our competitors are more successful than we are in developing compelling contentor in attracting and retaining users and advertisers, our revenues and operating results could be adversely affected.

Ifwe fail to retain existing users or add new users, or if our users decrease their level of engagement with our products, our revenue,financial results, and business may be significantly harmed.

Thesize of our user base and our user’s level of engagement are critical to our success. Our financial performance will be significantlydetermined by our success in adding, retaining, and engaging active users of our products, particularly Vocal. We anticipate that ouractive user growth rate will generally decline over time as the size of our active user base increases, and it is possible that the sizeof our active user base may fluctuate or decline in one or more markets, particularly in markets where we have achieved higher penetrationrates. If people do not perceive Vocal to be useful, reliable, and trustworthy, we may not be able to attract or retain users or otherwisemaintain or increase the frequency and duration of their engagement. A number of other content management systems and publishing platformsthat achieved early popularity have since seen their active user bases or levels of engagement decline, in some cases precipitously.There is no guarantee that we will not experience a similar erosion of our active user base or engagement levels. Our user engagementpatterns have changed over time, and user engagement can be difficult to measure, particularly as we introduce new and different productsand services. Any number of factors could potentially negatively affect user retention, growth, and engagement, including if:

Ifwe are unable to maintain or increase our user base and user engagement, our revenue and financial results may be adversely affected.Any decrease in user retention, growth, or engagement could render our products less attractive to users, marketers, and developers,which is likely to have a material and adverse impact on our revenue, business, financial condition, and results of operations. If ouractive user growth rate continues to slow, we will become increasingly dependent on our ability to maintain or increase levels of userengagement and monetization in order to drive revenue growth. 

Weface competition from traditional media companies, and we may not be included in the advertising budgets of large advertisers, whichcould harm our operating results.

Inaddition to internet companies, we face competition from companies that offer traditional media advertising opportunities. Most largeadvertisers have set advertising budgets, a very small portion of which is allocated to Internet advertising. We expect that large advertiserswill continue to focus most of their advertising efforts on traditional media. If we fail to convince these companies to spend a portionof their advertising budgets with us, or if our existing advertisers reduce the amount they spend on our programs, our operating resultswould be harmed.

Acquisitionsmay disrupt growth.

Wemay pursue strategic acquisitions in the future. Risks in acquisition transactions include difficulties in the integration of acquiredbusinesses into our operations and control environment, difficulties in assimilating and retaining employees and intermediaries, difficultiesin retaining the existing clients of the acquired entities, assumed or unforeseen liabilities that arise in connection with the acquiredbusinesses, the failure of counterparties to satisfy any obligations to indemnify us against liabilities arising from the acquired businesses,and unfavorable market conditions that could negatively impact our growth expectations for the acquired businesses. Fully integratingan acquired company or business into our operations may take a significant amount of time. We cannot assure you that we will be successfulin overcoming these risks or any other problems encountered with acquisitions and other strategic transactions. These risks may preventus from realizing the expected benefits from acquisitions and could result in the failure to realize the full economic value of a strategictransaction or the impairment of goodwill and/or intangible assets recognized at the time of an acquisition. These risks could be heightenedif we complete a large acquisition or multiple acquisitions within a short period of time.

Ourbusiness depends on strong brands and relationships, and if we are not able to maintain our relationships and enhance our brands, ourability to expand our base of users, advertisers and affiliates will be impaired and our business and operating results could be harmed.

Maintainingand enhancing our brands’ profiles may require us to make substantial investments and these investments may not be successful.If we fail to promote and maintain the brands’ profiles, or if we incur excessive expenses in this effort, our business and operatingresults could be harmed. We anticipate that, as our market becomes increasingly competitive, maintaining and enhancing our brands’profiles may become increasingly difficult and expensive. Maintaining and enhancing our brands will depend largely on our abilityto be a technology leader and to continue to provide attractive products and services, which we may not do successfully.

Wedepend on our key management personnel and the loss of their services could adversely affect our business.

Weplace substantial reliance upon the efforts and abilities of Jeremy Frommer, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, and our other executiveofficers and directors. Though no individual is indispensable, the loss of the services of these executive officers could have a materialadverse effect on our business, operations, revenues or prospects. We do not currently maintain key man life insurance on the lives ofthese individuals.

Ifwe are unable to protect our intellectual property, the value of our brands and other intangible assets may be diminished, and our businessmay be adversely affected.

Werely and expect to continue to rely on a combination of confidentiality, assignment, and license agreements with our employees, consultants,and third parties with whom we have relationships, as well as trademark, copyright, patent, trade secret, and domain name protectionlaws, to protect our proprietary rights. In the United States and internationally, we have filed various applications for protectionof certain aspects of our intellectual property, and we currently hold a number of registered trademarks and issued patents in multiplejurisdictions and have acquired patents and patent applications from third parties. Third parties may knowingly or unknowingly infringeour proprietary rights, third parties may challenge proprietary rights held by us, and pending and future trademark and patent applicationsmay not be approved. In addition, effective intellectual property protection may not be available in every country in which we operateor intend to operate our business. In any or all of these cases, we may be required to expend significant time and expense in order toprevent infringement or to enforce our rights. Although we have generally taken measures to protect our proprietary rights, there canbe no assurance that others will not offer products or concepts that are substantially similar to ours and compete with our business.In addition, we regularly contribute software source code under open source licenses and have made other technology we developed availableunder other open licenses, and we include open source software in our products. If the protection of our proprietary rights is inadequateto prevent unauthorized use or appropriation by third parties, the value of our brands and other intangible assets may be diminishedand competitors may be able to more effectively mimic our products, services, and methods of operations. Any of these events could havean adverse effect on our business and financial results 

We are subject to payment processing risk.

We accept payments using a variety of differentpayment methods, including credit and debit cards and direct debit. We rely on third parties to process payments. Acceptance and processingof these payment methods are subject to certain certifications, rules and regulations. To the extent there are disruptions in our or third-partypayment processing systems, material changes in the payment ecosystem, failure to recertify and/or changes to rules or regulationsconcerning payment processing, we could be subject to fines and/or civil liability, or lose our ability to accept credit and debit cardpayments, which would harm our reputation and adversely impact our results of operations. 

We are subject to risk as it relates tosoftware that we license from third parties.

We license software from third parties,much of which is integral to our systems and our business. The licenses are generally terminable if we breach our obligations under thelicense agreements. If any of these relationships were terminated or if any of these parties were to cease doing business or cease tosupport the applications we currently utilize, we may be forced to spend significant time and money to replace the licensed software.

Failures or reduced accessibility of third-partysoftware on which we rely could impair the availability of our platform and applications and adversely affect our business.

We license software from third partiesfor integration into our Vocal platform, including open source software. These licenses might not continue to be available to us on acceptableterms, or at all. While we are not substantially dependent upon any third-party software, the loss of the right to use all or a significantportion of our third-party software required for the development, maintenance and delivery of our applications could result in delaysin the provision of our applications until we develop or identify, obtain and integrate equivalent technology, which could harm our business.

Any errors or defects in the hardware or softwarewe use could result in errors, interruptions, cyber incidents or a failure of our applications. Any significant interruption in the availabilityof all or a significant portion of such software could have an adverse impact on our business unless and until we can replace the functionalityprovided by these applications at a similar cost. Furthermore, this software may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, orat all. The loss of the right to use all or a significant portion of this software could limit access to our platform and applications.Additionally, we rely upon third parties’ abilities to enhance their current applications, develop new applications on a timelyand cost-effective basis and respond to emerging industry standards and other technological changes. We may be unable to effect changesto such third-party technologies, which may prevent us from rapidly responding to evolving customer requirements. We also may be unableto replace the functionality provided by the third-party software currently offered in conjunction with our applications in the eventthat such software becomes obsolete or incompatible with future versions of our platform and applications or is otherwise not adequatelymaintained or updated.

We need to manage growth in operations tomaximize our potential growth and achieve our expected revenues and our failure to manage growth will cause a disruption of our operations,resulting in the failure to generate revenue.

In order to maximize potential growth in our currentand potential markets, we believe that we must expand our marketing operations. This expansion will place a significant strain on ourmanagement and our operational, accounting, and information systems. We expect that we will need to continue to improve our financialcontrols, operating procedures, and management information systems. We will also need to effectively train, motivate, and manage our employees.Our failure to manage our growth could disrupt our operations and ultimately prevent us from generating the revenues we expect.

In order to achieve the general strategies ofour company we need to maintain and search for hard-working employees who have innovative initiatives, while at the same time, keep aclose eye on any and all expanding opportunities in our marketplace.

We plan to generate a significant portionof our revenues from advertising and affiliate sales relationships, and a reduction in spending by or loss of advertisers and generaldecrease in online spending could adversely harm our business.

We plan to generate a substantial portion of ourrevenues from advertisers. Our advertisers may be able to terminate prospective contracts with us at any time. Advertisers will not continueto do business with us if their investment in advertising with us does not generate sales leads, and ultimately customers, or if we donot deliver their advertisements in an appropriate and effective manner. If we are unable to remain competitive and provide value to ouradvertisers, they may stop placing ads with us, which would adversely affect our revenues and business. In addition, expenditures by advertiserstend to be cyclical, reflecting overall economic conditions and budgeting and buying patterns. Adverse macroeconomic conditions can alsohave a material negative impact on the demand for advertising and cause our advertisers to reduce the amounts they spend on advertising,which could adversely affect our revenues and business.

Security breaches could harm our business.

Security breaches have become more prevalent inthe technology industry. We believe that we take reasonable steps to protect the security, integrity and confidentiality of the informationwe collect, use, store and disclose, but there is no guarantee that inadvertent (e.g., software bugs or other technical malfunctions,employee error or malfeasance, or other factors) or unauthorized data access or use will not occur despite our efforts. Although we havenot experienced any material security breaches to date, we may in the future experience attempts to disable our systems or to breach thesecurity of our systems. Techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to personal information, confidential information and/or the systemson which such information are stored and/or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched againsta target. As a result, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures.

If an actual or perceived security breach occurs,the market perception of our security measures could be harmed, and we could lose sales and customers and/or suffer other negative consequencesto our business. A security breach could adversely affect the digital content experience and cause the loss or corruption of data, whichcould harm our business, financial condition and operating results. Any failure to maintain the security of our infrastructure could resultin loss of personal information and/or other confidential information, damage to our reputation and customer relationships, early terminationof our contracts and other business losses, indemnification of our customers, financial penalties, litigation, regulatory investigationsand other significant liabilities. In the event of a major third-party security incident, we may incur losses in excess of their insurancecoverage.

Moreover, if a high-profile security breach occurswith respect to us or another digital entertainment company, our customers and potential customers may lose trust in the security of ourbusiness model generally, which could adversely impact our ability to retain existing customers or attract new ones.

The laws and regulations concerning dataprivacy and data security are continually evolving; our or our platform providers’ actual or perceived failure to comply with theselaws and regulations could harm our business.

Customers view our content online, using third-partyplatforms and networks and on mobile devices. We collect and store significant amounts of information about our customers—both personallyidentifying and non-personally identifying information. We are subject to laws from a variety of jurisdictions regarding privacy and theprotection of this player information. For example, the European Union (EU) has traditionally taken a broader view than the United Statesand certain other jurisdictions as to what is considered personal information and has imposed greater obligations under data privacy regulations.The U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) also regulates the collection, use and disclosure of personal informationfrom children under 13 years of age. While none of our content is directed at children under 13 years of age, if COPPA were to apply tous, failure to comply with COPPA may increase our costs, subject us to expensive and distracting government investigations and could resultin substantial fines.

Data privacy protection laws are rapidly changingand likely will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The U.S. government, including the Federal Trade Commission and the Departmentof Commerce, is continuing to review the need for greater regulation over the collection of personal information and information aboutconsumer behavior on the Internet and on mobile devices and the EU has proposed reforms to its existing data protection legal framework.Various government and consumer agencies worldwide have also called for new regulation and changes in industry practices. In addition,in some cases, we are dependent upon our platform providers to solicit, collect and provide us with information regarding our playersthat is necessary for compliance with these various types of regulations.

Customer interaction with our content is subjectto our privacy policy and terms of service. If we fail to comply with our posted privacy policy or terms of service or if we fail to complywith existing privacy-related or data protection laws and regulations, it could result in proceedings or litigation against us by governmentalauthorities or others, which could result in fines or judgments against us, damage our reputation, impact our financial condition andharm our business. If regulators, the media or consumers raise any concerns about our privacy and data protection or consumer protectionpractices, even if unfounded, this could also result in fines or judgments against us, damage our reputation, and negatively impact ourfinancial condition and damage our business.

In the area of information security and data protection,many jurisdictions have passed laws requiring notification when there is a security breach for personal data or requiring the adoptionof minimum information security standards that are often vaguely defined and difficult to implement. Our security measures and standardsmay not be sufficient to protect personal information and we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent security breaches.A security breach that compromises personal information could harm our reputation and result in a loss of confidence in our products andultimately in a loss of customers, which could adversely affect our business and impact our financial condition. This could also subjectus to liability under applicable security breach-related laws and regulations and could result in additional compliance costs, costs relatedto regulatory inquiries and investigations, and an inability to conduct our business.

Changes to federal, state or internationallaws or regulations applicable to our company could adversely affect our business.

Our business is subject to a variety of federal,state and international laws and regulations, including those with respect privacy, data, and other laws. These laws and regulations,and the interpretation or application of these laws and regulations, could change. In addition, new laws or regulations affecting ourbusiness could be enacted. These laws and regulations are frequently costly to comply with and may divert a significant portion of management’sattention. If we fail to comply with these applicable laws or regulations, we could be subject to significant liabilities which couldadversely affect our business. 

If any of our relationships with internetsearch websites terminate, if such websites’ methodologies are modified or if we are outbid by competitors, traffic to our websitescould decline.

We depend in part on various internet searchwebsites, such as Google.com, Bing.com, Yahoo.com and other websites to direct a significant amount of traffic to our websites. Searchwebsites typically provide two types of search results, algorithmic and purchased listings. Algorithmic listings generally are determinedand displayed as a result of a set of unpublished formulas designed by search engine companies in their discretion. Purchased listingsgenerally are displayed if particular word searches are performed on a search engine. We rely on both algorithmic and purchased searchresults, as well as advertising on other internet websites, to direct a substantial share of visitors to our websites and to direct trafficto the advertiser customers we serve. If these internet search websites modify or terminate their relationship with us or we are outbidby our competitors for purchased listings, meaning that our competitors pay a higher price to be listed above us in a list of searchresults, traffic to our websites could decline. Such a decline in traffic could affect our ability to generate advertising revenue andcould reduce the desirability of advertising on our websites.

Our business involves risks of liabilityclaims arising from our media content, which could adversely affect our ability to generate revenue and could increase our operating expenses.

As a distributor of media content, we face potentialliability for defamation, invasion of privacy, negligence, copyright or trademark infringement, obscenity, violation of rights of publicityand/or obscenity laws and other claims based on the nature and content of the materials distributed. These types of claims have been brought,sometimes successfully, against broadcasters, publishers, online services and other disseminators of media content. Any imposition ofliability that is not covered by insurance or is in excess of our insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition,measures to reduce our exposure to liability in connection with content available through our internet websites could require us to takesteps that would substantially limit the attractiveness of our internet websites and/or their availability in certain geographic areas,which could adversely affect our ability to generate revenue and could increase our operating expenses.

Intellectual property litigation could exposeus to significant costs and liabilities and thus negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be subject to claims of infringement ofthird-party patents and trademarks and other violations of third-party intellectual property rights. Intellectual property disputes aregenerally time-consuming and expensive to litigate or settle and the outcome of such disputes is uncertain and difficult to predict. Theexistence of such disputes may require us to set-aside substantial reserves and has the potential to significantly affect our overallfinancial standing. To the extent that claims against us are successful, they may subject us to substantial liability, and we may haveto pay substantial monetary damages, change aspects of our business model, and/or discontinue any of our services or practices that arefound to be in violation of another party’s rights. Such outcomes may severely restrict or hinder ongoing business operations andimpact the value of our business. Successful claims against us could also result in us having to seek a license to continue our practices.Under such conditions, a license may or may not be offered or otherwise made available to us. If a license is made available to us, thecost of the license may significantly increase our operating burden and expenses, potentially resulting in a negative effect on our business,financial condition and results of operations.

Although we have been and are currently involvedin multiple areas of commerce, internet services, and high technology where there is a substantial risk of future patent litigation, wehave not obtained insurance for patent infringement losses. If we are unsuccessful at resolving pending and future patent litigation ina reasonable and affordable manner, it could disrupt our business and operations, including by negatively impacting areas of commerceor putting us at a competitive disadvantage.

If we are unable to obtain or maintain keywebsite addresses, our ability to operate and grow our business may be impaired.

Our website addresses, or domain names, are criticalto our business. We currently own more than 415 domain names. However, the regulation of domain names is subject to change, and it maybe difficult for us to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that are similar to ours, that infringe our trademarks or thatotherwise decrease the value of our brands. If we are unable to obtain or maintain key domain names for the various areas of our business,our ability to operate and grow our business may be impaired.

We may have difficulty scaling and adaptingour existing network infrastructure to accommodate increased traffic and technology advances or changing business requirements, whichcould cause us to incur significant expenses and lead to the loss of users and advertisers.

To be successful, our network infrastructure hasto perform well and be reliable. The greater the user traffic and the greater the complexity of our products and services, the more computerpower we will need. We could incur substantial costs if we need to modify our websites or our infrastructure to adapt to technologicalchanges. If we do not maintain our network infrastructure successfully, or if we experience inefficiencies and operational failures, thequality of our products and services and our users’ experience could decline. Maintaining an efficient and technologically advancednetwork infrastructure is particularly critical to our business because of the pictorial nature of the products and services providedon our websites. A decline in quality could damage our reputation and lead us to lose current and potential users and advertisers. Costincreases, loss of traffic or failure to accommodate new technologies or changing business requirements could harm our operating resultsand financial condition.

Operating a network open to all internetusers may result in legal consequences.

Our Terms and Conditions clearly state that ournetwork and services are only to be used by users who are over 13 years old. Although we will terminate accounts that are known to beheld by persons age 13 or younger, it is impractical to independently verify that all activity occurring on our network fits into thisdescription. As such, we run the risk of federal and state law enforcement prosecution.

Unfavorable global economic, business, or political conditionscould adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our results of operations could be adversely affectedby general conditions in the global economy and in the global financial markets, including conditions that are outside of our control,including the impact of health and safety concerns, such as those relating to the current COVID-19 coronavirus (“COVID-19”)pandemic.

The continuing global COVID-19 pandemic has createdsignificant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our business,operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including: theduration and scope of the pandemic; governmental, business and individuals’ actions, including vaccination requirements, that havebeen and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic; the impact of the pandemic on economic activity and actions taken in response;and any future variants that may arise and its effects on the overall response to the pandemic. The COVID-19 coronavirus and actions takento mitigate it have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries,including the geographical area in which the Company operates.

Our direct-to-consumer brands experienced supply-chainissues as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in delayed growth within these business lines. Additionally, the globalfinancial crisis in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic has caused extreme volatility and disruptions in the capital and credit markets.A severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to our business, including weakened demand for our Vocal platformand our ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. Any of the foregoing could harm our business andwe cannot anticipate all the ways in which the current economic climate and financial market conditions could adversely impact our business.

Risks Related To Our Common Stock 

Risks Relating to our Common Stock and the Offering

Future sales or potential sales of our commonstock in the public market could cause our share price to decline.

If the existing holders of our common stock, particularlyour directors and officers, sell a large number of shares, they could adversely affect the market price for our common stock. Sales ofsubstantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could cause the market priceof our common stock to decline.

Because we will not pay dividends on ourcommon stock in the foreseeable future, stockholders will only benefit from owning common stock if it appreciates.

We have never paid cash dividends on our commonstock, and we do not intend to do so in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain any future earnings to finance our growth. Accordingly,any potential investor who anticipates the need for current dividends from his investment should not purchase our common stock.

Our share price has been, and will likelycontinue to be, volatile, and you may be unable to resell your shares at or above the price at which you acquired them.

The trading price of our common stock has been,and is likely to continue to be, highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of whichare beyond our control.

The market price for our securities maybe influenced by many factors that are beyond our control, including, but not limited to:

The trading price of our shares might also declinein reaction to events that affect other companies in our industry, even if these events do not directly affect us. Each of these factors,among others, could harm the value of your investment in our securities. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market, securitiesclass-action litigation has often been instituted against companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantialcosts and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, operatingresults and financial condition.

Because our shares of common stock are subjectto the penny stock rules, it is more difficult to trade our shares.

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealerpractices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00,other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems,provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system.The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to delivera standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that before effectingany transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination thatthe penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receiptof a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy ofa written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary marketfor our common stock, and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares.

The price of our common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations.

Even though we have our shares quoted with TheOTCQB, the market price of our Common Stock may be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factorsand risks, many of which are beyond our control. In addition to the risks noted elsewhere in this Form 10-K, some of the other factorsaffecting our stock price may include:

For these reasons, comparing our operating resultson a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful, and you should not rely on past results as an indication of future performance. Inthe past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a public company’s securities, securities class action litigationhas often been instituted against the public company. Regardless of its outcome, this type of litigation could result in substantial coststo us and a likely diversion of our management’s attention.

You may lose all of your investment.

Investing in our common stock involves a highdegree of risk. As an investor, you might never recoup all, or even part of, your investment and you may never realize any return on yourinvestment. You must be prepared to lose all your investment.

We may, in the future, issue additionalshares of common stock, which would reduce investors’ percent of ownership and dilute our share value

Our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation authorizethe issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Currently the Company has 450 shares ofPreferred Series E stock outstanding. Additionally, as of January 10, 2023 there are outstanding (i) warrants to purchase 17,300,983 sharesof our common stock; (ii) options exercisable into 4,408,267 shares of our common stock; (iii) 109,223 shares underlying the conversionof Preferred Series E shares; and (iv) 32,257,380 shares underlying the conversion of convertible notes.

Assumingall of the Company’s currently outstanding warrants and options are exercised and all convertible notes and preferred shares are converted, the Company would have to issue an additional 54,075,853 sharesof common stock representing 139% of our current issued and outstanding common stock. The future issuance of this common stock would resultin substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any Common Stock issuedin the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may havethe effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our commonstock.

Liability of directors for breach of dutyis limited under Nevada law.

Nevada law provides that directors must dischargetheir duties as a director in good faith and with a view to the interests of the corporation. Under Nevada law, directors owe a fiduciaryduty to the corporation, which is generally comprised of the duty of care and duty of loyalty to the corporation. Except under limitedcircumstances set forth in NRS 78.138(7), or unless our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or an amendment theretoprovide for greater individual liability (which ours does not provide), a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporationor its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officerunless it is proven that the director’s or officer’s act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary dutiesas a director or officer, and the breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. Ourstockholders’ ability to recover damages for fiduciary breaches may be reduced by this statute.

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividendson our common stock in the foreseeable future and, as such, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be your sole sourceof gain for the foreseeable future.

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividendson our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the developmentand growth of our business. In addition, and any future loan arrangements we enter into may contain, terms prohibiting or limiting theamount of dividends that may be declared or paid on our common stock. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock willbe your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

Sales of a substantial number of sharesof our common stock in the public market by certain of our stockholders could cause our stock price to fall.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of ourcommon stock in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common stock andcould impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that salesmay have on the prevailing market price of our common stock.

We may issue additional shares of preferredstock in the future that may adversely impact your rights as holders of our common stock.

Pursuant to our Second Amended and Restated Articlesof Incorporation, the aggregate number of shares of capital stock which we are authorized to issue is 120,000,000 shares, of which 100,000,000shares are common stock, and 20,000,000 shares are “blank check” preferred stock with such designations, rights and preferencesas may be determined from time to time by our board of directors. Our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, toissue one or more series of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could dilute the interestof, or impair the voting power of, our common stockholders. As of the date of this filing, we do have 450 shares of Preferred Series Estock outstanding.

The issuance of a series of preferred stock couldbe used as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control. For example, it would be possible for our board of directorsto issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control ofour Company. In addition, advanced notice is required prior to stockholder proposals, which might further delay a change of control. Additionally,our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders preferred rights toour assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividends before dividends are declared to holders of our common stock, and the rightto the redemption of such preferred shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of the common stock. To the extent that wedo issue such additional shares of preferred stock, your rights as holders of common stock could be impaired thereby, including, withoutlimitation, dilution of your ownership interests in us.

Each of our Second Amended and RestatedArticles of Incorporation and our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevadawill be the sole and exclusive forum for certain disputes which could limit stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicialforum for disputes with the Company or its directors, officers, employees or agents.

Each of our Second Amended and Restated Articlesof Incorporation and our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternativeforum, the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada shall be the sole and exclusive forum for state law claims with respectto: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought in the name or right of the Company or on its behalf, (ii) any action assertinga claim for breach of any fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company to the Company or the Company’sstockholders, (iii) any action arising or asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of Nevada Revised Statutes Chapters 78 or92A or any provision of the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws or (iv) anyaction asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, including, without limitation, any action to interpret, apply, enforceor determine the validity of the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws.This exclusive forum provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act or theExchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. To the extent that any such claims may be basedupon federal law claims, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any dutyor liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrentjurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or therules and regulations thereunder. However, each of our Second Amended Articles of Incorporation and our Amended and Restated Bylaws containa federal forum provision which provides that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federaldistrict courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of actionarising under the Securities Act. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of theCompany are deemed to have notice of and consented to this provision. As this provision applies to Securities Act claims, there may beuncertainty whether a court would enforce such a provision.

These choice of forum provisions may limit a stockholder’sability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with the Company or its directors, officers or otheremployees, which may discourage such lawsuits against the Company and its directors, officers and other employees. Alternatively, if acourt were to find our choice of forum provisions contained in either our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or Amendedand Restated Bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, the Company may incur additional costs associated with resolvingsuch action in other jurisdictions, which could harm its business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Overview

Creatd, Inc. provideseconomic opportunities to creators and brands by multiplying the impact of platforms, technology, and people.

The Company has fourmain revenue lines, all directly related to its flagship technology platform, Vocal. The business lines complement one another, creatinga flywheel effect. Working together, they provide shared data and resources to holistically leverage and organically grow the Company.Revenues are generated from creator subscriptions, consumer product sales, branded content, and IP development. 

Creator-Centric Strategy

Creatd’s northstar metric is to empower creators by providing best-in-class tools, supportive communities, and opportunities for monetization and audienceexpansion. This creator-first approach is the foundation of our culture and mission. 

Creator Subscriptions

Creatd’s most scalablestream of revenues are derived from its flagship technology platform, Vocal. 

Vocal was built to serveas a home base for creators. This robust, proprietary technology platform provides digital tools and resources, safe and curated communities,and monetization opportunities that enable creators to find a receptive audience and be rewarded for their content. Creators of all typescall Vocal their home, from bloggers to social media influencers, to podcasters, founders, musicians, photographers, and more.

Since its initial launchin 2016, Vocal has grown to over 1.5 million registered creators and is one of the premier technology platforms for content creators ofall shapes and sizes. Creators can opt to use Vocal for free, or upgrade to the premium membership tier, Vocal+. Upon joining Vocal, eitheras a freemium or premium member, creators can immediately begin to utilize Vocal’s storytelling tools to create and publish theirstories, as well as benefit from Vocal’s monetization features. Creatd facilitates creators’ monetization on Vocal in manyways, including i) rewarding creators for each ‘read’ their story receives; ii) via Vocal Challenges, or writing conteststhrough which creators can win cash and other rewards; iii) by awarding Bonuses; iv) by connecting creators with brands for opportunitiesto collaborate on Vocal for Brands branded content campaigns; v) through ‘Subscribe,’ which enables creators to receive paymentdirectly from their audience via monthly subscriptions and one-off microtransactions; vi) via Vocal’s Ambassador Program, whichenables creators to receive additional rewards whenever they refer a new Vocal+ member. The Vocal app is available for both iOS and Androidon the Apple App store and the Google Play store.

Vocal’s proprietarytechnology is built on Keystone, the same underlying open-source framework used by industry leaders in the software as a service (SaaS)space. Some of the differentiating elements of Vocal’s technology are speed, sustainability, and scalability. The Company continuesto invest heavily in research and development to continuously improve and innovate its platform, with the goal of optimizing the userexperience for creators, brands and their audiences. Additionally, the Vocal platform and its underlying technology maintain an advantageouscapital-light infrastructure. By using cloud service providers and data segment specialists, we are able to focus on building the platform,community, and revenue rather than building and maintaining the costly internal infrastructures that have materially affected so manylegacy media platforms.

Vocal’s technologyhas been specifically designed to significantly scale without a material corresponding increase in operational costs. While our userscan embed rich media, such as video, audio, and product links, into their Vocal stories, the rich media content is hosted elsewhere (suchas YouTube, Instagram, Vimeo, Shopify, and Spotify). The Vocal platform can accommodate content of all kinds without bearing the financialor operational costs associated with hosting the media itself. Creatd maintains a number of partnerships and initiatives with the primarycontent distribution and hosting platforms. In addition to the benefits this framework affords to the Company, it provides the additionalbenefit to our content creators, in that a creator can increase their monetization; for example, a creator can embed their YouTube videointo a Vocal story and thus derive earnings from both platforms when their video is viewed.

Consumer ProductsGroup

Creatd’s portfolioof internally owned and operated e-commerce businesses and associated technology and infrastructure make up the majority of the company’ssecond most scalable revenue line. The Company supports founders by providing a host of services including design and development, marketingand distribution, and go-to-market strategies. The Company expects to broaden its portfolio through the acquisition of up and coming brandsthat are aligned and easily consolidated into its shared supply chain, resources, and infrastructure. 

This portfolio includes:

Branded Content

The branded content revenueline is driven primarily by its Vocal for Brands offering, the Company’s internal content studio. The business line works with premierbrands developing best-in-class organic marketing campaigns. In addition to content creation, the Company generates revenues from itsinfluencer and performance marketing agency opportunities.

Brands have a story totell. They leverage Vocal’s creator communities to help them tell it. Vocal for Brands’ content marketing studio specializesin pairing leading brands with Vocal creators, as well as discovering new talent and introducing them to the Vocal platform. The brandedcontent business produces marketing campaigns on the platform that are non-interruptive, engaging, and direct-response driven. Additionally,brands can opt to collaborate with Vocal on sponsored Challenges, prompting the creation of thousands of high-quality stories that arecentered around the brand’s mission and further disseminated through creators’ respective social channels and promotionaloutlets. Vocal for Brands campaigns leverage Vocal’s first-party audience insights, which enables the creation of highly targeted,segmented audiences and optimized campaign results.

IP Development andProduction

Creatd’s fourthrevenue stream is driven by partnering with its top creators to produce stories for TV, film, podcasts, and print. The Vocal platformis perpetually generating intellectual property sourced and curated by a combination of human let moderation and machine learning models.With millions of compelling stories in its midst, Creatd’s Vocal technology surfaces the best candidates for transmedia adaptations,through a deep analysis of community, creator, and audience insights.  

In 2022, Creatd announceda series of newly released and upcoming production projects, including:

Application of First-PartyData

Creatd’s sharedbusiness intelligence and marketing teams identify and target individual creators, communities, and brands, utilizing empirical data harnessedfrom the Vocal technology platform. The team’s ability to apply its proprietary first-party data works to reduce acquisition costsfor new creators and to help provide brands with conversions and an ideal targeted audience. In this way, our ability to apply first-partydata is one of the value-drivers for the Company across its four business pillars. The internal teams work across the Company’sportfolio of technology product and service revenue lines.

Creatd uses its firstparty data to improve the Vocal platform. Specifically, data helps understand the behaviors and attributes that are common among the creators,brands, and audiences within the platform’s ecosystem. Pairing first-party Vocal data with third-party data from distribution platformssuch as Instagram, Tiktok, Twitter, and Snapchat provide a more granular profile of creators, brands, and audiences. It is through generatingthis valuable first-party data that the Company can continually enrich and refine its targeting capabilities for branded content marketingand creator acquisition, and specifically, to reduce creator acquisition costs (CAC) and subscriber acquisition costs (SAC).

Competitive Advantage

The idea for Vocal cameas a response to what Creatd’s founders recognized as systemic flaws inherent to the digital media industry and its operationalinfrastructures. The depreciating value of digital media business models built on legacy technology platforms that did not efficientlyaccess and apply data, created a unique opportunity for the development of a new type of creator-centric platform. Key to building a platformthat could appeal to a global community was utilizing that data to create a win-win proposition for all constituents including creators,audiences and the brands that want to access them. The proprietary nature of Creatd’s technology and its process give the companya competitive advantage in acquiring undervalued technology assets that can be rapidly assimilated into the greater collective, thus exponentiallydriving future EBITDA.

Creatd’s foundersbuilt the Vocal platform upon the general thesis that a closed and safe ecosystem utilizing first-party data to increase efficienciescould create a sustainable and defensible business model. Vocal was strategically developed to provide value for content creators, readers,and brands, and to serve as a home for the ever-increasing amount of digital content being produced and the libraries of digital assetslying dormant.

Acquisition Strategy

Creatd’s hybridfinance and design culture is key to its acquisition strategy. Acquisition targets are companies that meet a set of opportunistic or financialstandards or that are part of specific digital environments. Transactions are mainly accretive and targets can seamlessly integrate intoCreatd’s existing revenue lines. Creatd will continue to make strategic acquisitions when presented with opportunities that arein the interest of long term shareholder value.

BUSINESS

Overview

Creatd, Inc. provideseconomic opportunities to creators and brands by multiplying the impact of platforms, technology, and people.

The Company has fourmain revenue lines, all directly related to its flagship technology platform, Vocal. The business lines complement one another, creatinga flywheel effect. Working together, they provide shared data and resources to holistically leverage and organically grow the Company.Revenues are generated from creator subscriptions, consumer product sales, branded content, and IP development. 

Creator-Centric Strategy

Creatd’s northstar metric is to empower creators by providing best-in-class tools, supportive communities, and opportunities for monetization and audienceexpansion. This creator-first approach is the foundation of our culture and mission. 

Creator Subscriptions

Creatd’s most scalablestream of revenues are derived from its flagship technology platform, Vocal. 

Vocal was built to serveas a home base for creators. This robust, proprietary technology platform provides digital tools and resources, safe and curated communities,and monetization opportunities that enable creators to find a receptive audience and be rewarded for their content. Creators of all typescall Vocal their home, from bloggers to social media influencers, to podcasters, founders, musicians, photographers, and more.

Since its initial launchin 2016, Vocal has grown to over 1.5 million registered creators and is one of the premier technology platforms for content creators ofall shapes and sizes. Creators can opt to use Vocal for free, or upgrade to the premium membership tier, Vocal+. Upon joining Vocal, eitheras a freemium or premium member, creators can immediately begin to utilize Vocal’s storytelling tools to create and publish theirstories, as well as benefit from Vocal’s monetization features. Creatd facilitates creators’ monetization on Vocal in manyways, including i) rewarding creators for each ‘read’ their story receives; ii) via Vocal Challenges, or writing conteststhrough which creators can win cash and other rewards; iii) by awarding Bonuses; iv) by connecting creators with brands for opportunitiesto collaborate on Vocal for Brands branded content campaigns; v) through ’Subscribe,’ which enables creators to receive paymentdirectly from their audience via monthly subscriptions and one-off microtransactions; vi) via Vocal’s Ambassador Program, whichenables creators to receive additional rewards whenever they refer a new Vocal+ member. The Vocal app is available for both iOS and Androidon the Apple App store and the Google Play store.

Vocal’s proprietarytechnology is built on Keystone, the same underlying open-source framework used by industry leaders in the software as a service (SaaS)space. Some of the differentiating elements of Vocal’s technology are speed, sustainability, and scalability. The Company continuesto invest heavily in research and development to continuously improve and innovate its platform, with the goal of optimizing the userexperience for creators, brands and their audiences. Additionally, the Vocal platform and its underlying technology maintain an advantageouscapital-light infrastructure. By using cloud service providers and data segment specialists, we are able to focus on building the platform,community, and revenue rather than building and maintaining the costly internal infrastructures that have materially affected so manylegacy media platforms.

Vocal’s technologyhas been specifically designed to significantly scale without a material corresponding increase in operational costs. While our userscan embed rich media, such as video, audio, and product links, into their Vocal stories, the rich media content is hosted elsewhere (suchas YouTube, Instagram, Vimeo, Shopify, and Spotify). The Vocal platform can accommodate content of all kinds without bearing the financialor operational costs associated with hosting the media itself. Creatd maintains a number of partnerships and initiatives with the primarycontent distribution and hosting platforms. In addition to the benefits this framework affords to the Company, it provides the additionalbenefit to our content creators, in that a creator can increase their monetization; for example, a creator can embed their YouTube videointo a Vocal story and thus derive earnings from both platforms when their video is viewed.

Consumer ProductsGroup

Creatd’s portfolioof internally owned and operated e-commerce businesses and associated technology and infrastructure make up the majority of the company’ssecond most scalable revenue line. The Company supports founders by providing a host of services including design and development, marketingand distribution, and go-to-market strategies. The Company expects to broaden its portfolio through the acquisition of up and coming brandsthat are aligned and easily consolidated into its shared supply chain, resources, and infrastructure. 

This portfolio includes:

Branded Content

The branded content revenueline is driven primarily by its Vocal for Brands offering, the Company’s internal content studio. The business line works with premierbrands developing best-in-class organic marketing campaigns. In addition to content creation, the Company generates revenues from itsinfluencer and performance marketing agency opportunities.

Brands have a story totell. They leverage Vocal’s creator communities to help them tell it. Vocal for Brands’ content marketing studio specializesin pairing leading brands with Vocal creators, as well as discovering new talent and introducing them to the Vocal platform. The brandedcontent business produces marketing campaigns on the platform that are non-interruptive, engaging, and direct-response driven. Additionally,brands can opt to collaborate with Vocal on sponsored Challenges, prompting the creation of thousands of high-quality stories that arecentered around the brand’s mission and further disseminated through creators’ respective social channels and promotionaloutlets. Vocal for Brands campaigns leverage Vocal’s first-party audience insights, which enables the creation of highly targeted,segmented audiences and optimized campaign results.

IP Development andProduction

Creatd’s fourthrevenue stream is driven by partnering with its top creators to produce stories for TV, film, podcasts, and print. The Vocal platformis perpetually generating intellectual property sourced and curated by a combination of human let moderation and machine learning models.With millions of compelling stories in its midst, Creatd’s Vocal technology surfaces the best candidates for transmedia adaptations,through a deep analysis of community, creator, and audience insights.  

In 2022, Creatd announceda series of newly released and upcoming production projects, including:

Application of First-PartyData

Creatd’s sharedbusiness intelligence and marketing teams identify and target individual creators, communities, and brands, utilizing empirical data harnessedfrom the Vocal technology platform. The team’s ability to apply its proprietary first-party data works to reduce acquisition costsfor new creators and to help provide brands with conversions and an ideal targeted audience. In this way, our ability to apply first-partydata is one of the value-drivers for the Company across its four business pillars. The internal teams work across the Company’sportfolio of technology product and service revenue lines.

Creatd uses its firstparty data to improve the Vocal platform. Specifically, data helps understand the behaviors and attributes that are common among the creators,brands, and audiences within the platform’s ecosystem. Pairing first-party Vocal data with third-party data from distribution platformssuch as Instagram, Tiktok, Twitter, and Snapchat provide a more granular profile of creators, brands, and audiences. It is through generatingthis valuable first-party data that the Company can continually enrich and refine its targeting capabilities for branded content marketingand creator acquisition, and specifically, to reduce creator acquisition costs (CAC) and subscriber acquisition costs (SAC).

Competitive Advantage

The idea for Vocal cameas a response to what Creatd’s founders recognized as systemic flaws inherent to the digital media industry and its operationalinfrastructures. The depreciating value of digital media business models built on legacy technology platforms that did not efficientlyaccess and apply data, created a unique opportunity for the development of a new type of creator-centric platform. Key to building a platformthat could appeal to a global community was utilizing that data to create a win-win proposition for all constituents including creators,audiences and the brands that want to access them. The proprietary nature of Creatd’s technology and its process give the companya competitive advantage in acquiring undervalued technology assets that can be rapidly assimilated into the greater collective, thus exponentiallydriving future EBITDA.

Creatd’s foundersbuilt the Vocal platform upon the general thesis that a closed and safe ecosystem utilizing first-party data to increase efficienciescould create a sustainable and defensible business model. Vocal was strategically developed to provide value for content creators, readers,and brands, and to serve as a home for the ever-increasing amount of digital content being produced and the libraries of digital assetslying dormant.

Acquisition Strategy

Creatd’s hybridfinance and design culture is key to its acquisition strategy. Acquisition targets are companies that meet a set of opportunistic or financialstandards or that are part of specific digital environments. Transactions are mainly accretive and targets can seamlessly integrate intoCreatd’s existing revenue lines. Creatd will continue to make strategic acquisitions when presented with opportunities that arein the interest of long term shareholder value.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in variouslawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business.

Except as set forth below, we are currentlynot aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business,financial condition or operating results.

On or aboutAugust 30, 2021, Robert W. Monster and Anonymize, Inc. (“Monster”) filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court forthe Western District of Washington at Seattle, Robert W. Monster, et al. v. Creatd, Inc., et al. (Western District of Washington at Seattle2:21-CV-1177). The Complaint alleges, among other things, that action for Declaratory Judgment under 28 U.S.C. § 2201 that Monster’sregistration and use of the internet domain name VOCL.COM (the “Domain Name”) does not violate Creatd’s rightsunder the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (“ACPA”), 15 U.S.C. § 1125(d), or otherwise under the Lanham Act,15 U.S.C. § 1051 et seq. Creatd claims trademark rights and certain other rights with respect to the term and the domain name VOCL.COM.Monster seeks a determination by the Court that Monster’s registration and/or use of VOCL.COM is not, and has not beenin violation of the ACPA, and that Plaintiffs’ use of VOCL.COM constitutes neither a violation of the ACPA nor trademarkinfringement or dilution under the Lanham Act. Creatd believes the lawsuit lacks merit and will vigorously challenge the action. At thistime, we are unable to estimate potential damage exposure, if any, related to the litigation.

A complaint against the Company,dated September 21, 2022, has been filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, by Lind Global Macro Fund LPand Lind Global Fund II LP, making certain claims alleging breach of contract related to two Securities Purchase Agreements executed onMay 31, 2022, seeking damages in excess of $920,000. On November 18, 2022, Creatd filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint in its entirety.No response to the motion to dismiss has been filed to date. Given the premature nature of this case, it is still too early for theCompany to make an assessment as to liability.
