Our Mission
Our mission is to bring together the worlds of onlinee-commerce and offline physical retailers; widening consumer choice and rewarding loyalty, while sustaining and enhancing our earningpotential.
Our Company
We have created an innovative online-to-offline (“O2O”)e-commerce platform business model offering consumers and merchants instant rebates and affiliate cashback programs, while providing aseamless e-payment solution with rebates in both e-commerce (i.e., online) and physical retailers/merchant (i.e., offline) settings.
Ourproprietary product is an internet application (or “App”) branded “ZCITY App”, which was developed through ourwholly owned subsidiary, Gem Reward Sdn. Bhd. (“GEM”). The ZCITY App was successfully launched in Malaysia in June 2020.GEM is equipped with the know-how and expertise to develop additional/add-on technology-based products and services to complement theZCITY App, thereby growing its reach and user base.
Through simplifying a user’s e-payment gatewayexperience, as well as by providing great deals, rewards and promotions with every use, we aim to make the ZCITY App Malaysia’stop reward and payment gateway platform. Our longer-term goal is for the ZCITY App and its ever-developing technology to become one ofthe most well-known commercialized applications more broadly in Southeast Asia and Japan.
As of March28, 2023, we had over 2,442,319 registered users and over 2,008 registered merchants.
Our Consumer Business
SEA consumers have access to a plethora of smart ordering,delivery and “loyalty” websites and apps, but in our experience, SEA consumers very rarely receive personalized deals basedon their purchases and behavior.
The ZCITY App targets consumers by providing personalizeddeals based on consumers’ purchase history, location and preferences. Our technology platform allows us to identify the spendingtrends of our customers (the when, where, why, and how much). We are able to offer these personalized deals through the application ofour proprietary artificial intelligence (or “AI”) technology that scours the available database to identify and create opportunitiesto extrapolate the greatest value from the data, analyze consumer behavior and roll out attractive rewards-based campaigns for targetedaudiences. We believe this AI technology is currently a unique market differentiator for the ZCITY App.
We operate our ZCITY App on the hashtag: “#RewardsOnRewards”.We believe this branding demonstrates to users the ability to spend ZCITY App-based Reward Points (or “RP”) and “ZCITYCash Vouchers” with discount benefits at checkout. Additionally, users can use RP while they earn rewards from selected e-Walletor other payment methods.
ZCITY App users do not require any on-going credittop-up or need to provide bank card number with their binding obligations. We have partnered with Malaysia’s leading payment gateway,IPAY88, for secure and convenient transactions. Users can use our secure platform and enjoy cashless shopping experiences with rebateswhen they shop with e-commerce and retail merchants through trusted and leading e-wallet providers such as Touch’n Go eWallet, BoosteWallet, GrabPay eWallet and credit card/online banking like the “FPX” (the Malaysian Financial Process Exchange) as wellas more traditional providers such as Visa and Mastercard.
Our ZCITY App also provides the following functions:
| 1. | Registration and Account verification |
Users may register as a ZCITY App user simplyby using their mobile device. They can then verify their ZCITY App account by submitting a valid email address to receive new user “ZCITYNewbie Rewards”.
| 2. | Geo-location-based Homepage |
Based on users’ location, nearby merchantsand exclusive offers are selected and directed to them on their homepage for a smooth, user-friendly interaction.
Our ZCITY App is affiliated with more than5 local services providers such as Shopee and Lazada. The ZCITY App allows users to enjoy more rewards when they navigate from the ZCITYApp to a partner’s website.
| 4. | Bill Payment & Prepaid service |
Users can access and pay utility bills,such as water, phone, internet and TV bills, while generating instant discounts and rewards points with each payment.
Users can purchase their preferred e-Voucherswith instant discounts and rewards points with each checkout.
| 6. | User Engagement through Gamification |
Users can earn daily rewards by playingour ZCITY App minigame “Spin & Win” where they can earn further ZCITY RP, ZCITY e-Vouchers as well as monthly grand prizes.
Users can make cashless donations throughour ZCITY App to the Kentang Charity, which we have collaborated with, or apply donations to other charitable entities.
| 8. | TAZTE Smart F&B system |
ZCITY App offers a “Smart F&B”system that provides a one stop solution and digitalization transformation for all registered Food and Beverage (“F&B”)outlets located in Malaysia. It also allows merchants to easily record transactions with QR Digital Payment technology, set discountsand execute RP redemptions and rewards online on the ZCITY App
Zstore is ZCITY App’s e-mall servicethat offers group-buys and instant rebate to users with embedded AI and big data analytics to provide an express shopping experience.
Reward Points. Operating under the hashtag#RewardsOnRewards, we believe the ZCITY App reward points program encourages users to signup on the App, as well as increasing user engagement and spending on purchases/repeat purchases and engenders user loyalty.
Furthermore, we believe the simplicity of the stepsto obtaining Reward Points (or “RP”) is an attractive incentive to user participation in that participants receive:
| ● | 200 RP for registration as a new user; |
| ● | 100 RP for referral of a new user; |
| ● | Conversion of Malaysian ringgit spent into RP; |
| ● | 50% RP of every referred user paid amount as a result of the referral; and |
| ● | Spin & Win eligibility to receive RP (which may be “doubled up” when participants share the Spin & Win program on social media). |
The key objectives of our RP are:
RPare offered to users for increased social engagement.
RPincentivizes users with every MYR spent in order to increase the spending potential and to build users loyalty.
Drivesloyalty and greater customer engagement. Every new user onboarded will get 200 RP as a welcoming gift.
Rewardsusers with RP when they refer a new user
Offline Merchant
When using our ZCITY App to make payment to a registeredphysical merchant, the system will automatically calculate the amount of RP to deduct. The deducted RP amount is based on the percentageof profit sharing as with the merchant and the available RP of the user.
Online Merchant
When using our ZCITY App to pay utility bills or purchase any e-vouchers,our system shows the maximum RP deduction allowed and the user determines the amount of discount deducted subject to maximum deductionsdescribed below and the number of RP owned by such user.
Different features have different maximum deductionamounts. For example, for bill payments, the maximum deduction is up to 3% of the bill amount. For e-vouchers, the maximum deduction isup to 5% of the voucher amount.
In order to increase the spending power of the user,our ZCITY App RP program will credit RP to the user for all MYR paid.
Merchant Facing Business
At present, our ZCITY merchants are concentrated inthe F&B and lifestyle sectors. Moving forward, we plan to expand our product/service offering to include grocery stores, conveniencestores, “micro-SME” (“small to medium size enterprises”), loan programs, affiliate programsand advertising agencies.
We believe that ZCITY’s TAZTE Smart F&BSystem, which we launched in fourth quarter of 2022, will provide merchants with a one-stop automated solution to digitalize their business.It will offer an innovative and integrated technology ecosystem that addresses and personalizes each merchant’s technological needsand will be at the forefront of creating a smart consumer experience, thereby eliminating conventional and outdated standalone point ofsale (or “POS”) systems.
TAZTE will allow merchants to effortlessly recordtransactions with online payment or QR digital payment technology, set discounts and execute RP redemptions and rewards online, all viaour ZCITY App. It utilizes ZCITY App’s CRM analytics software to attract and retain consumers through personalized, data-drivenengagement to generate greater profitability.
TAZTE Smart F&B System will also feature a ‘DevicelessQueue System’ that reduces staff headcount and a private domain delivery service that will allow merchants access to multiple dedicateddelivery partners to ensure outstanding delivery service to consumers.

| ● | e-commerce activities for users; |

Private Placement of Convertible Debentures
Terms of the Convertible Debentures
On February 28, 2023, we entered into the SecuritiesPurchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with the Selling Stockholder, pursuant to which the Selling Stockholderagreed to purchase the Convertible Debentures, in the aggregate principal amount of up to $5,500,000 in a private placement (the “PrivatePlacement”) for a purchase price with respect to each Convertible Debenture of 92% of the initial principal amount of such ConvertibleDebenture. The purchase by the Selling Stockholder of the First Convertible Debenture which has an initial issuance principal amount of$2,000,000 occurred on February 28, 2023 for a purchase price of $1,840,000 and the closing of the purchase of the Second ConvertibleDebenture which will have an initial issuance a principal amount of $3,500,000 will occur shortly after the registration statement relatedto this prospectus being declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for a purchase price of$3,220,000. The total purchase price paid to us by the Selling Stockholder for the Convertible Debentures in the Private Placement willbe $5,060,000. Prior to the execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the issuance of the First Convertible Debenture, we paidthe Selling Stockholder a one-time $20,000 due diligence and structuring fee.
Each Convertible Debenture accrues or will accrueinterest on its full outstanding principal amount at 4% per annum and has a 12-month term. Assuming no conversions, prepayments or eventsof default have been made on or occurred with respect to the First Convertible Debenture, on the maturity date thereof, interest of $80,000shall have accrued and be payable on the First Convertible Debenture. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default (as definedbelow) with respect to any Convertible Debenture, its per annum interest rate will increase to 15%. As of May 8, no Event of Default hasoccurred under the First Convertible Debenture. Assuming an Event of Default under the First Convertible Debenture does occur on May 28,2023, and default interest begins to accrue on such date, if the holder did not elect to accelerate repayment or convert any portion ofthe First Convertible Debenture, accrued interest payable thereon at maturity would be $245,000. With respect to the Second ConvertibleDebenture, assuming no conversion, prepayment or an Events of Default has been made or occurred with respect thereto, on the maturitydate thereof, interest of $140,000 shall have accrued and be payable. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default underthe Second Convertible Debenture, its per annum interest rate will increase to 15%. Assuming an Event of Default under the Second ConvertibleDebenture does occur immediately after its issuance, default interest begins to accrue at such time and the holder does not elect to acceleraterepayment or convert any portion of the Second Convertible Debenture, accrued interest payable thereon at maturity would be approximately$525,000.
“Eventof Default” means with respect to any Convertible Debenture: (i) the Company’s failure to pay to amounts due under suchConvertible Debenture; (ii) the Company or any subsidiary of the Company is subject to bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or similarproceeding and such proceedings remain undismissed for a period of sixty one (61) days; (iii) the Company or any subsidiary of theCompany shall default in any of its payment obligations under any debenture, mortgage, credit agreement or other facility, indentureagreement, factoring agreement or other instrument under which there may be issued, or by which there may be secured or evidenced anyindebtedness for borrowed money or money due under any long term leasing or factoring arrangement of the Company in an amount exceeding$100,000 and such default shall result in the full amount of such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable and such defaultis not thereafter cured within five (5) Business Days; (iv) the Company’s common stock shall cease to be quoted or listedfor trading, as applicable, on any national exchange for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days; (v) the Company shall be a partyto certain change of control transactions (unless in connection with such change of control transaction such Convertible Debenture isretired; (vi) the Company’s (A) failure to deliver required number of shares of common stock as required under such ConvertibleDebenture or (B) notice, written or oral, to any holder of such Convertible Debenture of the Company’s intention not to complywith a request for conversion of such Convertible Debenture; (vii) the Company shall fail for any reason to deliver the paymentin cash pursuant to a Buy-In (as defined in the Convertible Debenture) within five (5) Business Days after such payment is due; (viii) theCompany’s failure to timely file with the SEC any of its periodic reports and such default is not thereafter cured within five(5) business days; (ix) any representation or warranty made or deemed to be made by or on behalf of the Company in or in connectionwith such Convertible Debenture or any of the other documents related to the Private Placement, or any waiver hereunder or thereunder,shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect (or, in the case of any such representation or warranty already qualifiedby materiality, such representation or warranty shall prove to have been incorrect) when made or deemed made; (x) any material provisionof any Transaction Document, at any time after its execution and delivery and for any reason other than as expressly permitted hereunderor thereunder, ceases to be in full force and effect; or the Company or any other person or entity contests in writing the validity orenforceability of any provision of any Convertible Debenture or any of the other documents related to the Private Placement; or the Companydenies in writing that it has any or further liability or obligation under any Convertible Debenture or any of the other documents relatedto the Private Placement, or purports in writing to revoke, terminate (other than in line with the relevant termination provisions) orrescind any Convertible Debenture or any of the other documents related to the Private Placement; (xi) the Company uses the proceedsof the issuance of such Convertible Debenture, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, topurchase or carry margin stock (within the meaning of Regulations T, U and X of the Federal Reserve Board, as in effectfrom time to time and all official rulings and interpretations thereunder or thereof), or to extend credit to others for the purposeof purchasing or carrying margin stock or to refund indebtedness originally incurred for such purpose; or (xii) any Event of Default(as defined in the other Convertible Denture or in any other documents related to the Private Placement) occurs with respect to any otherConvertible Debenture, or any breach of any material term of any other debenture, note, or instrument held by the holder of such ConvertibleDebenture in the Company or any agreement between or among the Company and such holder; or (xiii) the Company shall fail to observe orperform any material covenant, agreement or warranty contained in, or otherwise commit any material breach or default of any provisionof such Convertible Debenture (except as may be covered by another Event of Default) or any other any other document related to the PrivatePlacement) which is not cured or remedied within the time prescribed or if no time is prescribed within ten (10) business days of notificationthereof.

The Selling Stockholder will also have the right to convert such ConvertibleDebenture at the applicable conversion price.
TheConvertible Debentures provide a conversion right, in which any portion of the principal amount of the Convertible Debentures, togetherwith any accrued but unpaid interest, may be converted into our common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) $1.6204(the “Fixed Price”) or (ii) 93% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price (the “VWAP”) of the commonstock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion (but not lower than a floor price of $0.25).
Ifa Trigger Event occurs, then the Company shall make monthly payments beginning on the 10th calendar day after the date onwhich a Trigger Event occurs and then on the same day of each successive calendar month. Each monthly payment shall be in an amount equalto the sum of (i) the lesser of (x) $1,000,000 and (y) the outstanding principal of the Convertible Debentures (the “TriggeredPrincipal Amount”), plus (ii) a redemption premium of 7% of such Triggered Principal Amount, plus (iii) accrued and unpaidinterest hereunder as of each payment date. The obligation of the Company to make monthly payments shall cease if any time after theTrigger Date the daily VWAP is greater than the Floor Price for a period of 5 of 7 consecutive Trading Days in the event of a Floor PriceTrigger unless a new Trigger Event occurs.
“TriggerEvent” means the daily VWAP is less than the $0.25 for five Trading Days during a period of any 5 of 7 consecutive trading days.
Underthe Convertible Debentures, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to redeem (“Optional Redemption”) early aportion or all amounts outstanding under the Convertible Debentures; provided that (i) the closing price of the Company’scommon stock on the date of such Optional Redemption is less than $1.6204 and (ii) the Company provides the Holder with at least 5 businessdays’ prior written notice (each, a “Redemption Notice”) of its desire to exercise an Optional Redemption.

If we elect to redeem the full $5,500,0000 principal amount of the ConvertibleDebentures, such premium payable will equal $550,000.
Theregistration statement of which this prospectus forms a part registers the resale by the Selling Stockholder of up to 22,880,000 sharesof common stock that can be issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Debentures. The number of shares being registered was calculatedby dividing (x) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Debentures ($5,500,000) plus one year of accrued interest onthe Convertible Debentures ($220,000) by (y) the conversion floor price ($0.25), which is the lowest possible conversion price pursuantto the terms of the Convertible Debentures. As of February 28, 2023 (the date of the initial issuance of the Convertible Debentures),the total value of the 22,880,000 shares of common stock being registered was $35,692,800.
PotentialCharges to the Company Under the Convertible Debentures
Shortlyafter the effectiveness of the registration statement related to this prospectus, we will have sold an aggregate of $5,500,000 of theConvertible Debentures and received a purchase price of $5,060,000 from the Selling Stockholder. The total charges paid to theholder of a Convertible Debenture during its term will depend on the amount converted and whether or not an Event of Default occurs andis continuing. If no conversions or events of default occur on the Convertible Debentures, we will incur charges of $1,230,000 on grossproceeds of $5,500,000. These charges include (i) $440,000 of original issue discount (“OID”); $220,000 of accrued interest(at 4% per annum); (iii) $550,000 cash redemption premium payable in respect of Optional Redemptions and (iv) $20,000 due diligence andstructuring fee. This represents annualized interest of approximately 24.3% on gross proceeds of $5,060,000. If an Event of Default doesoccur on May 28, 2023, and default interest accrues on the Convertible Debentures from such date as described above under “—Termsof the Convertible Debentures” the accrued interest charge would increase from $220,000 to $673,750. The actual amount of interestaccrued interest charges and redemption premium charges could be less depending on the actual amount and timing of redemptions and conversions.
Ifwe fail to convert the Convertible Debentures and issue the applicable shares of our common stock to the Selling Stockholder within threetrading days after we receive a conversion notice from the Selling Stockholder, and if on or after the date on which such shares of commonstock are required to be issued, the Selling Stockholder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) our common stock to deliverin satisfaction of a sale by the Selling Stockholder of our common stock that was issuable upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”),then the Company shall be required if requested by the Selling Stockholder to pay cash to the Selling Stockholder in an amount equalto the Selling Stockholder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out of pocket expenses, if any) forthe shares of our common stock so purchased. We do not anticipate any Buy-Ins and view any occurrence of a Buy-In as unlikely.
The followingtable sets out the payments we have made and may have to make (other than in the unlikely event of a Buy-In) in connection with the saleof $5,500,000 of Convertible Debentures.

(1) | $160,000 for the First Convertible Denture and $280,000 for the Second Convertible Debenture. |
| |
(2) | Each Convertible Debenture matures on the one-year anniversary date of the issuance of such Convertible Debenture and bears interest at a rate of 4% per annum on its outstanding principal amount and in case of an Event of Default that is continuing its interest rate increases to 15% per annum |
| |
(3) | $80,000 for the First Convertible Denture and $140,000 for the Second Convertible Debenture. |
(4) | Assumes Default interest accrues from May 28,2023. $245,000 for the First Convertible Denture and $428,750 for the Second Convertible Debenture. Calculated as follows: for the Frist Convertible Debenture, $2,000,000 x .04 x 3/12 plus $2,000,000 x .15 x 9/12 and for the Second Convertible Debenture, $3,500,000 x .04 x 3/12 plus $3,500,000 x .15 x 9/12 |
(5) | $200,000 for the First Convertible Denture and $350,000 for the Second Convertible Debenture. |
(6) | Assumes 100% of the principal on the Convertible Debentures is redeemed pursuant to one or more Optional Redemptions. The redemption premium is based on 10% of the $5,500,000 aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Dentures and not their aggregate purchase price. The redemption premium of 7% payable on Triggered Principal Amounts as described under “--Terms of the Convertible Debentures” is not included because the redemption premium payable on a redemption of the principal of a Convertible Debenture results in each case from either an Optional Redemption or a Trigger Event, but not both and the redemption premium payable in respect of a Trigger Event is lower than the redemption premium payable in respect of an Optional Redemption. If 100% of the principal on the Convertible Debentures became Triggered Principal Amounts (which could only happen if no Optional Redemptions occur), the redemption premium payable would be $385,000. |
Apart from the amountsdiscussed above, we have not made, and do not need to make (other than amounts payable to the Selling Stockholder in the unlikely eventof a Buy-In), any payments to the Selling Shareholder under the Convertible Debentures or otherwise in connection with the Private Placement.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
We are an “emerging growth company,” asdefined in the Jobs Act. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (i) the last day of the fiscal year followingthe fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the SecuritiesAct; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.235 billion or more; (iii) the date on whichwe have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed tobe a large accelerated filer under applicable SEC rules. We expect that we will remain an emerging growth company for the foreseeablefuture, but cannot retain our emerging growth company status indefinitely and will no longer qualify as an emerging growth company onor before the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common stock pursuant toan effective registration statement under the Securities Act. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we are permitted andintend to rely on exemptions from specified disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerginggrowth companies.
These exemptions include:
| ● | being permitted to provide only two years of audited financialstatements, in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements, with correspondingly reduced “Management’sDiscussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure; |
| ● | not being required to comply with the requirement of auditorattestation of our internal controls over financial reporting; |
| ● | not being required to comply with any requirement that may beadopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’sreport providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements; |
| ● | reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation;and |
| ● | not being required to hold a nonbinding advisory vote on executivecompensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. |
We have taken advantage of certain reduced reportingrequirements in this prospectus. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive fromother public companies in which you hold stock.
An emerging growth company can take advantage of theextended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards.This allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise applyto private companies. We have irrevocably elected to avail ourselves of this extended transition period and, as a result, we will notbe required to adopt new or revised accounting standards on the dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other publicreporting companies.
We are also a “smaller reporting company”as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and have elected to takeadvantage of certain of the scaled disclosure available for smaller reporting companies.

In addition, the following risk factors present material risks and uncertainties associated with this offering.The risks and uncertainties incorporated by reference into this prospectus or described below are not the only ones we face.

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership ofour Common Stock
A large number of shares of our common stockissuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures may be sold in the market, which may depress the market price of our common stockand substantially dilute stockholders’ voting power.
A total of 22,880,000 shares of common stock issuableupon conversion of the Convertible Debentures is being registered for resale by the Selling Stockholder, subject to the limitation thatthe Selling Stockholder may not convert those securities to the extent that the Selling Stockholder would own more than 4.99% of our outstandingcommon stock immediately after conversion. However, this limitation does not prevent the Selling Stockholder from selling shares of ourcommon stock and then receive additional shares of our common stock through a subsequent conversion. In this way, the selling stockholdercould acquire and sell more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock in a relatively short time frame while never holding more than4.99% at one time. Further since the exercise price under the Convertible Debentures is based on market prices of our common stock duringthe ten trading days prior to each conversion, declines in the market price of our common stock down to the conversion floor price ($0.25per share) result in, subject to the floor price, higher conversion rates and consequently higher rates of dilution to stockholders foreach dollar of principal of a Convertible Debenture being converted during such declines. As of May 12, 2023 there were 17,573,830 sharesof common stock outstanding and 11,235,348 shares of common stock owned by non-affiliates. Sales of a substantial number of shares ofour common stock in the public markets could depress the market price of our common stock, cause substantial dilution to stockholders’voting power and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. If all 22,880,000 shares of commonstock that could potentially be underlying the Convertible Debentures are issued, the percentage of our common stock held by the existingnon-affiliate stockholders would be reduced from approximately 63.9% to approximately 27.7%. We cannot predict the effect that futuresales of our common stock by the Selling Stockholder or others would have on the market price of our common stock.
Investors who buy the common stock at differenttimes will likely pay different prices and may experience different levels of dilution.
If and when the Selling Stockholder elects tosell shares of our common stock after conversion of the Convertible Debentures at the discounted conversion price, the Selling Stockholdermay resell all, some or none of such shares at any time or from time to time in its discretion and at different prices. As illustratedunder “Selling Stockholder—Potential Conversion Profits to Selling Stockholder” changes in market price conditionswill affect the conversion price, subject to the conversion floor price of $0.25 and the maximum conversion price of $1.6204, or the FixedPrice, and the conversion price will determine the profit relative to the market price of our common stock on the conversion date achievedby the Selling Stockholder. The amount of profit achieved by the Selling Stockholder on conversions of the Convertible Debentures maybe a factor in the price the Selling Stockholder is willing to sell our common stock. As a result, investors who purchase shares fromthe Selling Stockholder in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices for those shares, and so may experience differentlevels of dilution and in some cases substantial dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. Moreover, if the marketprice of our common stock exceeds the maximum conversion price of $1.6204, further increases in the price of our common stock would increasethe profitability of conversions by the Selling Stockholders and the amount of profit that can be obtained by the Selling Stockholderfrom conversions would be unlimited if our common stock price continued to increase. Any investor who purchases shares from the SellingStockholder at a price that that is in excess of the maximum conversion price will experience immediate and possibly significant dilutionin the book value of their shares depending on the amount of such excess. Investors may also experience a decline in the value of theshares they purchase from the Selling Stockholder in this offering as a result of future sales made by us to the Selling Stockholder atprices lower than the prices such investors paid for their shares in this offering. In addition, if we issue a substantial number of sharesto the Selling Stockholder under the Convertible Debentures, or if investors expect that the Selling Stockholder will require more conversions,the actual issuance of shares or the mere existence of the Convertible Debentures may make it more difficult for us to sell equity orequity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect such sales.
The Occurrence of a Trigger Event or anEvent of Default under a Convertible Debenture could lead to increased amounts payable under the Convertible Debentures and could causean acceleration of the Convertible Debentures and materially and adversely affect our operations.
If the price of our company stock closes at aprice of less than $0.25 on 5 of 7 consecutive trading days, a Trigger Even will have occurred and will be required to pay, on a monthlybasis, to the Selling Stockholder the Trigger Premium Amount, a 7% redemption premium and accrued and unpaid interest on the ConvertibleDebentures. The Events of Default contained in the Convertible Debentures (as described under “Prospectus Summary—PrivatePlacement of the Convertible Debentures—Terms of the Convertible Debentures”) are customary events of default with accelerationrights. If an event of default occurs and is continuing , the per annum interest rate on the Convertible Debentures will increase from4% to 15 % and the Selling Stockholder will be entitled to declare the full unpaid principal amount of the Convertible Debentures, togetherwith interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, immediately due and payable in cash; provided that an Event of Default thatoccurs because of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company shall be automatic. If a Trigger Event, an Event of Default or both occur,our costs related to the Convertible Debentures could substantially increase and we may not have the funds required to repay the SellingStockholder the accelerated amounts due under the Convertible Debentures, which could lead to the Selling Stockholder to take action againstthe Company such as commencing litigation which could have material adverse effects on our business and prospects.
Stockholders may experience future dilutionas a result of this and future equity offerings.
In order to raise additional capital, we may in thefuture offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock. Investorspurchasing our shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing common stockholders, and the price pershare at which we sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stockin future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering.
If securities or industry analysts donot publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will dependin part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. Several analysts may coverour stock. If one or more of those analysts downgrade our stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, ourstock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly,demand for our stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.
We may not be able to continue to satisfylisting requirements of Nasdaq to maintain a listing of our common stock.
Our common stock is currently listed on Nasdaq andwe must meet certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain such listing. If we violate the maintenance requirements for continuedlisting of our common stock, our common stock may be delisted. In addition, our board may determine that the cost of maintaining our listingon a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing. A delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq may materially impairour stockholders’ ability to buy and sell our common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiencyof the trading market for, our common stock. In addition, the delisting of our common stock could significantly impair our ability toraise capital.
If there is no viable public market for ourcommon stock, you may be unable to sell your shares at or above your purchase price.
Although our common stock is listed on Nasdaq, anactive trading market for our shares may not be sustained following the purchase of your common stock. You may be unable to sell yourshares quickly or at the market price if trading in shares of our common stock is not active. Further, an inactive market may also impairour ability to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock and may impair our ability to enter into strategic partnerships oracquire companies or products by using our shares of common stock as consideration.

SELLING STOCKHOLDER
This prospectus relates to the resale of up to22,880,000 shares of our common stock by the Selling Stockholder, which may be issued upon the conversion of the Convertible Debentures.See the section entitled “Prospectus Summary—Recent Developments—Private Placement of Convertible Debentures”for more information regarding the issuance of the Convertible Debentures. We are registering the shares of common stock included in thisprospectus pursuant to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, permitting the Selling Stockholder to offer the shares ofcommon stock included in this prospectus for resale from time to time.
The table below presents information regardingthe Selling Stockholder and the shares of common stock that may be resold by the Selling Stockholder from time to time under this prospectus.This table is prepared based on information supplied to us by the Selling Stockholder, and reflects holdings as of May 12, 2023. The numberof shares in the column “Maximum Number of Shares Being Offered” represents all of the shares of common stock being offeredfor resale by the Selling Stockholder under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholder may sell some, all or none of the shares of commonstock being offered for resale in this offering. We do not know how long the Selling Stockholder will hold the shares of common stockbefore selling them, and we are not aware of any existing arrangements between the Selling Stockholder and any other stockholder, broker,dealer, underwriter or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares of our common stock being offered for resale by this prospectus.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordancewith Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act, and includes shares of common stock with respect to whichthe Selling Stockholder has sole or shared voting and investment power. The percentage of shares of common stock beneficially ownedby the Selling Stockholder prior to the offering shown in the table below is based on an aggregate of 17,573,830 shares of our commonstock outstanding on May 12, 2023. Because the conversion price to be paid by the Selling Stockholder for shares of common stock willbe determined on the date of conversion of the Convertible Debentures, the actual number of shares of common stock that we may issue tothe Selling Stockholder may be fewer than the number of shares being offered for resale under this prospectus. The fourth column assumesthe resale by the Selling Securityholder of all of the shares of common stock being offered for resale pursuant to this prospectus.

Under the terms of the Convertible Debentures, we are prohibited from issuing shares of common stockto the Selling Stockholder to the extent that it would cause the aggregate number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned bythe Selling Stockholder and its affiliates to exceed 4.99% of our outstanding common stock, and under the terms of the Convertible Debentures,the Selling Stockholder may not convert the Convertible Debentures to the extent such conversion would cause the aggregate number of sharesof common stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholder and its affiliates to exceed 4.99% of our outstanding common stock (theAuthorized Share Cap”). The amounts in the table give effect to the Authorized Share Cap. Based on 17,573,830 shares of common stockissued and outstanding as of May 12, 2023. Assumes the number of shares issuable pursuant to the Convertible Debentures prior to the offeringis at least 4.99% of the sum of our outstanding shares of common stock after taking into consideration the issuance of such shares. |
PotentialConversion Profits to Selling Stockholder
Thetables below quantify under three different market price scenarios the resulting profit to the Selling Stockholder from a conversionof all amounts underlying the Convertible Debentures at the conversion discount price. Each table assumes on the conversion date that(i) both Convertible Debentures are issued and outstanding in full and (ii) except for Scenario 1, where conversion takes place on issuancedate, a full year of interest equal to $220,000 has been accrued and remains unpaid. We will not actually know the conversion price forthe Convertible Debentures until, and if, we receive a conversion notice from the Selling Stockholder. Because the Selling Stockholdermay not convert the Convertible Debentures to the extent (but only to the extent) it or any of its affiliates would beneficially owna number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% of the total shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the dateof such conversion, we do not believe that it is likely that all of the Convertible Debentures could be converted in any one given day.
Scenario1. Conversion on the initial issuance date.
Assumesconversion on February 28, 2023, the first date of issuance of the Convertible Debentures. On such date the closing price of our commonstock was $1.56 per share (the “Initial Market Price”) and the lowest VWAP for any trading day during the prior 10 tradingdays was $1.6668 per share.

Item 14. Indemnificationof Directors and Officers.
Section 102 of the GeneralCompany Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”) permits a Company to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a Companyto the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breachedhis duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the paymentof a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit. Our charterprovides that no director of the Company shall be personally liable to it or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciaryduty as a director, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability, except to the extent that the DGCL prohibits the eliminationor limitation of liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty.
Section 145 of the DGCL providesthat a Company has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company, or a person serving at the request ofthe Company for another Company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in related capacities against expenses (includingattorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection withan action, suit or proceeding to which he was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, ending or completedaction, suit or proceeding by reason of such position, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to bein or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believehis conduct was unlawful, except that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the Company, no indemnification shall be madewith respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and onlyto the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in viewof all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Courtof Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
If a claim is not paid in full by the Company, theclaimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in wholeor in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action(other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final dispositionwhere any undertaking required by the Bylaws has been tendered to the Company) that the claimant has not met the standards of conductwhich make it permissible under the DGCL for the Company to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving suchdefense shall be on the Company. Neither the failure of the Company (including its board of directors (“Board”), legal counsel,or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is properin the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination bythe Company (including its Board, legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct,shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. Indemnificationshall include payment by the Company of expenses in defending an action or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such actionor proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by the person indemnified to repay such payment if it is ultimately determined that suchperson is not entitled to indemnification.
In any underwriting agreementwe enter into in connection with the sale of common stock being registered hereby, the underwriters will agree to indemnify, under certainconditions, us, our directors, our officers and persons who control us within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, orthe Securities Act, against certain liabilities.
