Recent Developments
Reverse Stock Split
On February 15, 2023, the Company held
a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”).
At the Special Meeting,
the stockholders approved a proposal to amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse split of the Company’s
outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 at a specific ratio within a range of one-for five (1-for-5) to a maximum of one-for-fifty
(1-for-50) to be determined by the Company’s board of directors in its sole discretion.
Following the Special
Meeting, the board of directors approved a one-for-twelve (1-for-12) reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares
of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). On February 21, 2023, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State
of Delaware a certificate of amendment to its certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to effect the
Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split became effective as of 4:01 p.m. Eastern Time on February 21, 2023, and the Company’s
common stock is expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the Nasdaq Stock Market opens on February 22, 2023.
When the Reverse Stock
Split became effective, every twelve (12) shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were automatically combined,
converted and changed into one (1) share the Company’s common stock, without any change in the number of authorized shares or the
par value per share. In addition, a proportionate adjustment was made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable
upon the exercise of all outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and warrants to purchase shares of common stock and the number
of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the company’s equity incentive compensation plans. Any fraction of a share of common
stock that would be created as a result of the Reverse Stock Split was rounded up to the next whole share.
All share and per share
information in this prospectus (other than the historical financial statements incorporated by reference herein) has been adjusted to
reflect the reverse stock split.
Implication of Being an Emerging Growth Company
We are an “emerging
growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”). We will
remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion
of our initial public offering, (2) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of at least $1.07 billion,
(3) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which would occur if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates
exceeded $700.0 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (4) the date on which we have
issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. An emerging growth company may take
advantage of specified reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally
applicable to public companies. As an emerging growth company,
| ● | we may reduce our executive
compensation disclosure; |
| ● | we may present only two years
of audited financial statements, plus unaudited condensed financial statements for any interim period, and related Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Prospectus; |
| ● | we may avail ourselves of the
exemption from the requirement to obtain an attestation and report from our auditors on the assessment of our internal control over financial
reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; and |
| ● | we may not require stockholder
non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements. |
We have availed ourselves
in this Prospectus of the reduced reporting requirements described above with respect to compensation disclosure requirements and selected
financial data. As a result, the information that we provide stockholders may be less comprehensive than what you might receive from other
public companies. When we are no longer deemed to be an emerging growth company, we will not be entitled to the exemptions provided in
the JOBS Act discussed above. We have not elected to avail ourselves of the exemption that allows emerging growth companies to extend
the transition period for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards. This election is irrevocable.
As a company with less than
$1.0 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company.”
Smaller Reporting Company
We are also currently a “smaller
reporting company,” meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent
company that is not a smaller reporting company, and have a public float of less than $250 million or annual revenues of less than $100
million during the most recently completed fiscal year. In the event that we are still considered a “smaller reporting company,”
at such time as we cease being an “emerging growth company,” the disclosure we will be required to provide in our SEC filings
will increase, but will still be less than it would be if we were not considered either an “emerging growth company” or a
“smaller reporting company.” Specifically, similar to “emerging growth companies,” “smaller reporting companies”
are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness
of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including,
among other things, only being required to provide two years of audited financial statements in annual reports. Decreased disclosures
in our SEC filings due to our status as an “emerging growth company” or “smaller reporting company” may make it
harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.
Risks Associated with Our Business
Our business and our ability
to implement our business strategy are subject to numerous risks, as more fully described in the section entitled “Risk Factors”
in this prospectus and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, incorporated herein by reference. You
should read these risks before you invest in our securities. We may be unable, for many reasons, including those that are beyond our control,
to implement our business strategy.
Corporate Information and History
The Company was incorporated
in November 2017. The Company is an artificial intelligence driven platform and course designer, that provides customized, high performance
and scalable online products for schools and businesses. The Company uses machine learning to provide a novel, mass customized experience

On September 18, 2020, we
consummated a reorganizational merger (the “Reorganization”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger

and into us, with our Company resulting as the surviving entity. In connection with the same, we filed a Certificate of Ownership and

Parent became our directors and officers.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement,
on the Effective Date, each share of Amesite Parent’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, issued and outstanding immediately
before the Effective Date, was converted, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of our common stock. Additionally, each option or warrant
to acquire shares of Amesite Parent outstanding immediately before the Effective Date was converted into and became an equivalent option
to acquire shares of our common stock, upon the same terms and conditions.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities
involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider and evaluate all of the information contained in this prospectus and in
the documents we incorporate by reference into this prospectus before you decide to purchase our securities. In particular, you should
carefully consider and evaluate the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2022. Any of the risks and uncertainties set forth below and in the Annual Report, as updated
by annual, quarterly and other reports and documents that we file with the SEC and incorporate by reference into this prospectus, or any
prospectus, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, which in turn could materially
and adversely affect the value of any securities offered by this prospectus. As a result, you could lose all or part of your investment.
THE PRIVATE PLACEMENT
On
August 30, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”)
with certain investors (the “Investors”) for the purpose of raising approximately $2.3 million in gross proceeds for the Company
(the “Offering”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to sell, in a registered direct offering, an
aggregate of 348,485 shares (the “Shares”) of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”),
and in a concurrent private placement, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 348,485 shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of Common
Stock (the “Warrants” and together with the Shares and the Warrant Shares, the “Securities”), for a combined purchase
price per Share and Warrant of $6.60 (the “Purchase Price”). The Warrants will be exercisable commencing six months after
the date of their issuance, have an exercise price of $9.84 per share and will expire five and one-half years from the date of issuance.
Laidlaw &
Company (UK) Ltd. acted as the exclusive placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) for the Company, on a “reasonable best
efforts” basis, in connection with the Offering. Pursuant to that certain Placement Agency Agreement, dated as of August 30, 2022,
by and between us and the Placement Agent (the “Placement Agency Agreement”), the Placement Agent will be entitled to a cash
fee equal to 8.0% of the gross proceeds from the placement of the total amount of Securities sold by the Placement Agent and a cash management
fee equal to 1% of the gross proceeds from the placement of the total amount of Securities sold in the Offering. In addition, the Placement
Agent will be issued a warrant (the “Placement Agent Warrant”) to purchase up to 17,425 shares (the “Placement Agent
Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock, substantially the same form as the Warrants, at an exercise price of $12.30 per share (125% of
the Purchase Price).
The
net proceeds to us from the registered direct offering and concurrent private placement, after deducting the Placement Agent’s fees
and expenses but before paying the Company’s estimated offering expenses, and excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise
of the Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrant, are expected to be approximately $2 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds
from the Offering for working capital and for other general corporate purposes.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, from the Effective Date
until the 75th day after the Effective Date, we, may not, without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent and
Investors which purchased at least 67.0% in interest of the Shares offered in the Offering, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell,
sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend,
or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of capital stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in
the Purchase Agreement); (ii) except in limited circumstances, file or cause to be filed any registration statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission relating to the offering of any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable
or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company, (iii) complete any offering of debt securities, other than entering into a
line of credit with a traditional bank or (iv) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part,
any of the economic consequences of ownership of capital stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, whether any such transaction
described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above is to be settled by delivery of shares of capital stock or such other securities, in
cash or otherwise.
In
connection with the Purchase Agreement and Placement Agency Agreement, our directors, officers, entered into lock-up agreements for a
90-day period (the “Lock-Up Agreements”).
The
Shares (but not the Warrants or the Warrant Shares) were offered and sold by us pursuant to effective registration
statements on Form S-3 (File Nos. 333-260666), as well as a prospectus supplement in connection
the Offering filed with the SEC.
The foregoing description of the material terms
of the Purchase Agreement, the Warrant, the Placement Agent Warrant, the Placement Agency Agreement and the Lock-Up Agreements does not
purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Purchase Agreement, form of Warrant,
form of Placement Agent Warrant, form of Placement Agency Agreement and form of Lock-Up Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits
10.1, 4.1, 4.2, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, to the Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 1, 2022, and are incorporated herein by
reference.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus and the documents
incorporated by reference in this prospectus contain “forward-looking statements,” which include information relating to future
events, future financial performance, financial projections, strategies, expectations, competitive environment and regulation. Words such
as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,”
“continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,”
“believes,” “estimates,” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and may not be accurate indications
of when such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information we have when those statements
are made or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to a number of risks,
and uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested
by the forward-looking statements. These risks are more fully described in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus.
The following is a summary of such risks:
| ● | our ability to continue as a going concern; |
| ● | our planned online machine learning platform’s ability
to enable universities and other clients to offer timely, improved popular courses and certification programs, without becoming software
tech companies; |
| ● | our planned online machine learning platform’s ability
to result in opportunistic incremental revenue for colleges, universities and other clients, and improved ability to garner state funds
due to increased retention and graduation rates through use of machine learning and natural language processing; |
| ● | our ability to obtain additional funds for our operations; |
| ● | our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property
protection for our technologies and our ability to operate our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of others; |
| ● | our reliance on third parties to conduct our business and
studies; |
| ● | our reliance on third party designers, suppliers, and Partners
to provide and maintain our learning platform; |
| ● | our ability to attract and retain qualified key management
and technical personnel; |
| ● | our expectations regarding the time during which we will
be an emerging growth company under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or JOBS Act; |
| ● | our financial performance; |
| ● | the impact of government regulation and developments relating
to our competitors or our industry; and |
| ● | other risks and uncertainties, including those listed under
the caption “Risk Factors.” |
These statements relate to
future events or our future operational or financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations
include, among other things, those listed under the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus.
Any forward-looking statement
in this prospectus reflects our current view with respect to future events and is subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and
assumptions relating to our business, results of operations, industry and future growth. Given these uncertainties, you should not place
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. You should read
this prospectus, and the documents that we reference herein and have filed as exhibits hereto completely and with the understanding that
our actual future results may be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information
becomes available in the future
This prospectus also contains,
or may contain, estimates, projections and other information concerning our industry, our business and the markets for our products, including
data regarding the estimated size of those markets and their projected growth rates. Information that is based on estimates, forecasts,
projections or similar methodologies is inherently subject to uncertainties and actual events or circumstances may differ materially from
events and circumstances reflected in this information. Unless otherwise expressly stated, we obtained these industry, business, market
and other data from reports, research surveys, studies and similar data prepared by third parties, industry and general publications,
government data and similar sources. In some cases, we do not expressly refer to the sources from which these data are derived.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We are not selling any shares
of our common stock in this offering and we will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock by the selling
stockholders. The selling stockholders will receive all of the proceeds from any sales of the shares of our common stock offered hereby.
However, we will incur expenses in connection with the registration of the shares of our common stock offered hereby.
We will receive the exercise
price upon any exercise of the warrants, to the extent exercised on a cash basis. If all the warrants were exercised for cash, we would
receive gross proceeds of approximately $3.6 million. However, the holders of the warrants are not obligated to exercise the warrants,
and we cannot predict whether or when, if ever, the holders of the warrants will choose to exercise the warrants, in whole or in part.
Accordingly, any proceeds from such exercise will be used for general corporate purposes and working capital.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The common stock being offered
by the selling stockholders are those issuable to the selling stockholders upon exercise of the warrants. For additional information regarding
the issuance of the warrants, see “The Private Placement” above. We are registering the shares of common stock in order to
permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except as described below, to our knowledge, none of
the selling stockholders has been an officer or director of ours or of our affiliates within the past three years or has any material
relationship with us or our affiliates within the past three years. Our knowledge is based on information provided by the selling stockholders
in connection with the filing of this prospectus.
The
table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial
ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the selling stockholders. The second column
lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder,
based on its ownership of the shares of common stock, options to purchase common stock, and
warrants, as of May 5, 2023, assuming exercise of the warrants held by the selling stockholders
on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises. The third column lists the
maximum number of shares of common stock that may be sold or otherwise disposed of by the
selling stockholders pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms
a part. The selling stockholders may sell or otherwise dispose of some, all or none of their
shares. Pursuant to Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act, beneficial ownership includes
any shares of our common stock as to which a stockholders has sole or shared voting power
or investment power, and also any shares of our common stock which the stockholder has the
right to acquire within 60 days of May 5, 2023. The percentage of beneficial ownership for
the selling stockholders is based on 2,533,359 shares of our common stock outstanding as
of May 5, 2023 and the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion
of convertible securities that are currently exercisable or convertible or are exercisable
or convertible within 60 days of May 5, 2023 beneficially owned by the applicable selling
stockholder. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares of common stock offered
by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.
Under the terms of the warrants,
a selling stockholder may not exercise the warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such selling stockholder, together with its
affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% (or for certain holders,
9.99%) of our then outstanding common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock
issuable upon exercise of the warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the second column does not reflect this
limitation. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”
Information about the selling
stockholders may change over time. Any changed information will be set forth in an amendment to the registration statement or supplement
to this prospectus, to the extent required by law. Unless otherwise noted below, the address of each selling stockholder listed on the
table is c/o Amesite Inc., 607 Shelby Street, Suite 700 PMB 214, Detroit, MI 48226.

shares of common stock to be registered by the registration statement of which this prospectus is
a part are sold in this offering and (ii) the selling stockholders do not acquire additional shares
of our common stock after the date of this prospectus and prior to completion of this offering. The
percentage of beneficial ownership after the offering is based on 2,900,024 shares of common stock,
consisting of (a) 2,533,359 shares of our common stock outstanding on May 5, 2023, and (b) the 366,665
shares of our common stock underlying the warrants offered under this prospectus. The number of shares
listed do not take into account any limitations on exercise of the warrants. |
(3) |
Consists of 17,425 shares of common stock issuable
upon exercise of placement agent warrants. |
(4) |
The selling stockholder is a broker-dealer and
has represented to us that it acquired the securities in the ordinary course of business and that, at the time of such acquisition,
it did not have any arrangements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities. |
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Each selling stockholder
of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities
covered hereby on The Nasdaq Capital Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded
or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following
methods when selling securities:
|
● |
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
|
● |
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
|
● |
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
|
● |
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
|
● |
privately negotiated transactions; |
|
● |
settlement of short sales; |
|
● |
in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security; |
|
● |
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
|
● |
a combination of any such methods of sale; or |
|
● |
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling stockholders
may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by
the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts
from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts
to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a
customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in
compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.
In connection with the sale
of the securities or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial
institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling
stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities
to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer
or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution
may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The selling stockholders
and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the
meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents
and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities
Act. Each selling stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly
or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
The Company is required to
pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify
the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
We agreed to use commercially
reasonable efforts to keep this registration statement effective at all times until the selling stockholders no longer own any Warrants
or shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants.
Under applicable rules and
regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market
making activities with respect to the Common Stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement
of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the Common Stock by the selling
stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them
of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule
172 under the Securities Act).

349,240 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants acquired by certain of the selling stockholders under the Purchase

General
The following is a summary
of material characteristics of our capital stock as set forth in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and certain provisions of
Delaware law. The following description does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by, and should
be read in conjuncture with, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, each of which are filed as exhibits to this Registration Statement
and are incorporated herein by reference. The summaries and descriptions below do not purport to be complete statements of the Delaware
General Corporation Law (“DGCL”).
The Company is authorized
to issue 105,000,000 shares of capital stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 100,000,000 are shares of common stock and 5,000,000
are shares of “blank check” preferred stock.
As of the date of this prospectus,
there were 2,533,359 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.
Common Stock
Voting
The holders of our common
stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by the Company’s stockholders. There shall be no
cumulative voting.
Dividends
The holders of shares of our
common stock are entitled to dividends when and as declared by the Board from funds legally available therefor if, as and when determined
by the Board of Directors of the Company in their sole discretion, subject to provisions of law, and any provision of the Company’s
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time. There are no preemptive, conversion or redemption privileges, nor sinking
fund provisions with respect to the common stock.
Liquidation
In the event of any voluntary
or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably
in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of or provision for all of our debts and other
liabilities.
Fully Paid and Non-assessable
All outstanding shares of
common stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Preferred Stock
We are authorized to issue
up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. This preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined
at the time of issuance by our board of directors without further action by stockholders. The terms of any series of preferred stock may
include voting rights (including the right to vote as a series on particular matters), preferences as to dividend, liquidation, conversion
and redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. No preferred stock is currently outstanding. The issuance of any preferred stock could
materially adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock, and therefore, reduce the value of our common stock and the
Notes. In particular, specific rights granted to future holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict our ability to merge with,
or sell our assets to, a third party and thereby preserve control by the present management.
Series A Preferred Stock
On
January 23, 2023, we filed a Certificate of Designation of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”)
with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to create a new class of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share.
The Certificate of Designation designates 100,000 shares of authorized preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred
Stock are not entitled to receive dividends or any other distributions. The Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to one thousand votes
per share and shall vote together with the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock as a single class exclusively with respect
to the Reverse Stock Split (as defined in the Certificate of Designation). The Series A Preferred Stock have no rights as to any distribution
or assets of the Company upon a liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, merger, acquisition, sale, dissolution or winding up
of the Company. The outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be redeemed in whole, but not in part for an aggregate price
of $1,000 (i) if such redemption is ordered by our board of directors, in its sole discretion, or (ii) automatically and effective immediately
after the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split.
Exclusive Forum
Our Certificate of Incorporation
provides that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the State of Delaware is the sole
and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of
breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders,
(iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the
DGCL or our Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company, its directors, officers,
employees or agents governed by the internal affairs doctrine, except for, as to each of (i) through (iv) above, any claim as to which
the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the
indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination),
which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or for which the Court of Chancery
does not have subject matter jurisdiction.
Additionally, our Certificate
of Incorporation provide that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts
of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under
the Securities Act. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation
are deemed to have notice of and consented to this provision. The Supreme Court of Delaware has held that this type of exclusive federal
forum provision is enforceable. There may be uncertainty, however, as to whether courts of other jurisdictions would enforce such a provision,
if applicable.
Transfer Agent
The transfer agent and registrar
for our common stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.
Changes in Authorized Number
The Board of Directors is
expressly authorized to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issuance of shares of that series, but
not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or
decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting
power of the stock of the Company entitled to vote thereon, without a separate vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock, or of any series
thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to the terms of any Certificate of Designation filed with respect to any
series of Preferred Stock.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute
We may become subject to Section
203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits persons deemed to be “interested stockholders” from engaging
in a “business combination” with a publicly held Delaware corporation for three years following the date these persons become
interested stockholders unless the business combination is, or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder was,
approved in a prescribed manner or another prescribed exception applies. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person
who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status
did own, 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or
stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. The existence of this provision may have
an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the Board of Directors. A Delaware corporation may “opt
out” of these provisions with an express provision in its original certificate of incorporation or an express provision in its certificate
of incorporation or bylaws resulting from a stockholders’ amendment approved by at least a majority of the outstanding voting shares.
We have not opted out of these provisions. As a result, mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts of us may be discouraged
or prevented.
The Bylaws establish an advance
notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of our stockholders, including proposed nominations
of persons for election to our board of directors. At an annual meeting, stockholders may only consider proposals or nominations specified
in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of our board of directors. Stockholders may also consider
a proposal or nomination by a person who was a stockholder at the time of giving notice and at the time of the meeting, who is entitled
to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the notice requirements of the Bylaws in all respects. The Bylaws do not give our board
of directors the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted
at a special or annual meeting of our stockholders. However, the Bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business
at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed. These provisions may also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting
a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.
The Bylaws provide that a
special meeting of our stockholders may be called only by our Secretary at the direction of the Board or by resolution adopted by a majority
of our board of directors. Because our stockholders do not have the right to call a special meeting, a stockholder could not force stockholder
consideration of a proposal over the opposition of our board of directors by calling a special meeting of stockholders prior to such time
as a majority of our board of directors or the Secretary believe the matter should be considered or until the next annual meeting provided that
the requestor met the notice requirements. The restriction on the ability of stockholders to call a special meeting means that a proposal
to replace our board of directors also could be delayed until the next annual meeting.
Limitations on Liability and Indemnification
of Officers and Directors
We intend to enter into separate
indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. Each indemnification agreement will provide, among other
things, for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws against any and all
expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement of any claim. The indemnification agreements will provide for the
advancement or payment of all expenses to the indemnitee and for the reimbursement to us if it is found that such indemnitee is not entitled
to such indemnification under applicable law and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.
We maintain a general liability
insurance policy that covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of our corporation arising out of claims based on acts or omissions
in their capacities as directors or officers.
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law
We may become subject to Section
203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits persons deemed to be “interested stockholders” from engaging
in a “business combination” with a publicly held Delaware corporation for three years following the date these persons become
interested stockholders unless the business combination is, or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder was,
approved in a prescribed manner or another prescribed exception applies. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person
who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status
did own, 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or
stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. The existence of this provision may have
an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the Board of Directors. A Delaware corporation may “opt
out” of these provisions with an express provision in its original certificate of incorporation or an express provision in its certificate
of incorporation or bylaws resulting from a stockholders’ amendment approved by at least a majority of the outstanding voting shares.
We have not opted out of these provisions. As a result, mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts of us may be discouraged
or prevented.
The Bylaws establish an advance
notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of our stockholders, including proposed nominations
of persons for election to our board of directors. At an annual meeting, stockholders may only consider proposals or nominations specified
in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of our board of directors. Stockholders may also consider
a proposal or nomination by a person who was a stockholder at the time of giving notice and at the time of the meeting, who is entitled
to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the notice requirements of the Bylaws in all respects. The Bylaws do not give our board
of directors the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted
at a special or annual meeting of our stockholders. However, the Bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business
at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed. These provisions may also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting
a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.
The Bylaws provide that a

of our board of directors. Because our stockholders do not have the right to call a special meeting, a stockholder could not force stockholder
consideration of a proposal over the opposition of our board of directors by calling a special meeting of stockholders prior to such time
as a majority of our board of directors or the Secretary believe the matter should be considered or until the next annual meeting provided that
the requestor met the notice requirements. The restriction on the ability of stockholders to call a special meeting means that a proposal
to replace our board of directors also could be delayed until the next annual meeting.

ITEM 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 102 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) permits a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors
of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where
the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law,
authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal
benefit. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that no director of the Company shall be personally liable to it or its stockholders
for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability, except
to the extent that the DGCL prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides
that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or a person serving at the request
of the corporation for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in related capacities against expenses
(including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection
with an 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 completed
action, suit or proceeding by reason of such position, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
his conduct was unlawful, except that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall
be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless
and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but
in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the
Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Our Certificate of Incorporation
and Bylaws provide indemnification for our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. We will indemnify each
person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other
than an action by or in the right of us) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer,
or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at our request as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar
capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (all such persons being referred to as an “Indemnitee”),
or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and
any appeal therefrom, if such Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to,
our best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct
was unlawful. Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that we will indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is a party to an action
or suit by or in the right of us to procure a judgment in our favor by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was, or has agreed
to become, a director or officer, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at our request as a director, officer, partner, employee
or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason
of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and, to the
extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding,
and any appeal therefrom, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed
to, our best interests, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to us, unless a court determines that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances,
he or she is entitled to indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Indemnitee has been successful,
on the merits or otherwise, he or she will be indemnified by us against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably
incurred in connection therewith. Expenses must be advanced to an Indemnitee under certain circumstances.
We intend to enter into separate
indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. Each indemnification agreement will provide, among other
things, for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws against any and all
expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement of any claim. The indemnification agreements will provide for the
advancement or payment of all expenses to the indemnitee and for the reimbursement to us if it is found that such indemnitee is not entitled
to such indemnification under applicable law and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.
We maintain a general liability
insurance policy that covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of our corporation arising out of claims based on acts or omissions
in their capacities as directors or officers.

Pursuant to Item 601(b)(2) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC, certain schedules have been omitted. The registrant hereby agrees to furnish supplementally to the SEC, upon its request, any or all omitted schedules. |

Item 17. Undertakings
We hereby undertake:
(1) To file, during
any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include
any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”);
(ii) To reflect
in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee”
table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include
any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material
change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for
the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove
from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.
(4) That, for
the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser,
(i) Each prospectus
filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus
was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii) Each prospectus
required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating
to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a)
of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form
of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the
prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date
shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which
that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;
provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made
in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration
statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that
was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately
prior to such effective date.
(5) That, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(6) Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements
for filing on Form S-1 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the City of Detroit, State of Michigan, on May 8, 2023.
