Motorsport
Games Inc. (the “Company”, “Motorsport Games”, “us”, “we” or “our”) has entered
into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Canaccord Genuity LLC (“Canaccord”),
acting as sales agent, on March 31, 2023, relating to the sale of shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class
A common stock”), offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. In accordance with the terms of the Distribution
Agreement, under this prospectus supplement, we may offer and sell shares of our Class A common stock having an aggregate offering price
of up to $2,919,403 from time to time through Canaccord.
Our
Class A common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “MSGM.” On March 30,
2023, the closing sale price of our Class A common stock as reported on Nasdaq was $5.94.
As
of March 30, 2023, the aggregate market value of our Class A common stock held by our non-affiliates was $2,919,403, based upon 1,216,516
shares of our outstanding Class A common stock held by non-affiliates at the per share price of $37.00, the closing sale price of our
Class A common stock on Nasdaq on February 1, 2023. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will we sell securities
in a public offering with a value exceeding more than one-third of our “public float” (i.e., the aggregate market value of
our Class A common stock held by our non-affiliates) in any 12 calendar-month period so long as our public float remains below $75.0
million. During the 12 calendar months prior to and including the date of this prospectus supplement (but excluding this offering), we
have sold 751,194 shares of Class A common stock, raising gross proceeds of $12,084,294 in the aggregate, in reliance on General Instruction
I.B.6 of Form S-3.
We
are an “emerging growth company” under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and, as such,
have elected to comply with certain reduced public company disclosure requirements for this prospectus and future filings. See “Summary
— Emerging Growth Company.”
Sales
of our Class A common stock, if any, under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may be made at market prices by
any method permitted by law that is deemed an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Canaccord is not required to sell any specific number or dollar
amount of our Class A common stock but will act as sales agent using commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading
and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of Nasdaq. There is no arrangement for
funds to be received in any escrow, trust or similar arrangement.
Canaccord
will be entitled to compensation at a commission rate equal to 3.0% of the gross sales price per share sold under the Distribution Agreement.
See “Plan of Distribution” for additional information regarding Canaccord’s compensation.
In connection with the sale of our Class A common stock on our behalf, Canaccord may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within
the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation of Canaccord will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have
also agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to Canaccord with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Investing
in our Class A common stock involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-10 of this prospectus

FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This
prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any free writing prospectus, including the information incorporated by reference
herein and therein, contain certain statements, which are not historical facts and are “forward-looking statements” within
the meaning of federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties. Forward-looking
statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives,
strategies, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly
to historical or current facts. We use words, such as “could,” “would,” “may,” “might,”
“will,” “expect,” “likely,” “believe,” “continue,” “anticipate,”
“estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project” and other similar expressions to identify some
forward-looking statements, but not all forward-looking statements include these words. For example, forward-looking statements include,
but are not limited to, statements we make relating to:

available as of December 31, 2022 and our average cash burn, our belief that additional funding will be required in order to continue
operations, our belief that there is a substantial likelihood that Motorsport Network may not fulfill our future borrowing requests
under the $12 million line of credit that it provides to us (the “Line of Credit”), our belief that it will be necessary
for us to secure additional funds, whether through a variety of equity and/or debt financing arrangements or similar transactions
or implementing cost reductions through cost control initiatives, to continue our existing business operations and to fund our obligations;
our expectation to generate additional liquidity through consummating one or more potential equity and/or debt financings, achieving
cost reductions by maintaining and enhancing cost control initiatives, such as those that we expect to achieve through our previously
announced organizational restructuring (the “2022 Restructuring Program”), and/or adjusting our product roadmap to reduce
the near-term need for working capital, as well as statements regarding our cash flows and anticipated uses of cash, as well as our
belief that additional funding in the form of potential equity and/or debt financing arrangements or similar transactions are viable
options to support our future liquidity needs, provided that such opportunities can be obtained on terms that are commercially competitive
and on terms acceptable to us; |

on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, except as otherwise disclosed in the 2022
Form 10-K (as defined below), and that in light of the uncertainties involved in legal proceedings generally, the ultimate outcome
of a particular matter could be material to the Company’s operating results for a particular period depending on, among other
things, the size of the loss or the nature of the liability imposed and the level of the Company’s income for that particular
period, including, without limitation, our beliefs regarding the merit of any plaintiff’s allegations and the impact of any
claims and litigation that we are subject to; |

|
● |

intention to not declare dividends in the foreseeable future; |

our
belief that we may decide in the future to avail ourselves of certain corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq as a result of
being a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq rules; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
our
expectations regarding the 2022 Restructuring Program, such as: (i) our expectations to eliminate approximately 20% of our overhead
costs worldwide; (ii) our expectations regarding the amount and timing of the charges and payments related to the 2022 Restructuring

The
forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any free writing prospectus, including
the information incorporated by reference herein and therein, are based on assumptions that we have made in light of our industry experience
and our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors that we believe are appropriate
under the circumstances. As you read and consider this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any free writing prospectus,
including the information incorporated by reference herein and therein, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees
of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (many of which are beyond our control) and assumptions that are difficult
to predict, including, without limitation, sales of shares of Class A common stock in this offering impacting the price of our Class
A common stock, our inability to raise funds in this offering, and less than expected results from the proceeds raised from this offering.
Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors
could affect our actual operating and financial performance and cause our performance to differ materially from the performance anticipated
in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in
any forward-looking statements are discussed in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”), as updated in our subsequent filings with the SEC. In addition to factors
that may be described in our filings with the SEC, including this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any free writing
prospectus, including the information incorporated by reference herein and therein, the following factors, among others, could cause
our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us:
|
(i) |
difficulties
and/or delays in accessing available liquidity, and other unanticipated difficulties in resolving our continuing financial condition
and ability to obtain additional capital to meet our financial obligations, including, without limitation, difficulties in securing
funding that is on commercially acceptable terms to us or at all, such as our inability to complete in whole or in part any potential
debt and/or equity financing transactions or similar transactions, as well as any ability to achieve cost reductions, including,
without limitation, those which we expect to achieve through the 2022 Restructuring Program; difficulties, delays or our inability
to efficiently manage our cash and working capital; higher than expected operating expenses; adverse impacts to our liquidity position
resulting from the higher interest rate and higher inflationary environment; the unavailability of funds from anticipated borrowing
sources; the unavailability of funds from our inability to reduce or control costs, including, without limitation, those which we
expect to achieve through the 2022 Restructuring Program; lower than expected operating revenues, cash on hand and/or funds available
from anticipated borrowings or funds expected to be generated from cost reductions resulting from the implementation of cost control
initiatives, such as through the 2022 Restructuring Program; and/or less than anticipated cash generated by our operations; and/or
adverse effects on our liquidity resulting from changes in economic conditions (such as continued volatility in the financial markets,
whether attributable to COVID-19, the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine or otherwise; significantly higher rates of inflation,
significantly higher interest rates and higher labor costs; the impact of higher energy prices on consumer purchasing behavior, monetary
conditions and foreign currency fluctuations, tariffs, foreign currency controls and/or government-mandated pricing controls, as
well as in trade, monetary, fiscal and tax policies), political conditions (such as military actions and terrorist activities) and
pandemics and natural disasters; and/or the unavailability of funds from (A) delaying the implementation of or revising certain aspects
of our business strategy; (B) reducing or delaying the development and launch of new products and events; (C) reducing or delaying
capital spending, product development spending and marketing and promotional spending; (D) selling assets or operations; (E) seeking
additional capital contributions and/or loans from Motorsport Network, the Company’s other affiliates and/or third parties;
and/or (F) reducing other discretionary spending; |
|
|
|
|
(ii) |
difficulties,
delays or less than expected results in achieving our growth plans, objectives and expectations, such as due to a slower than anticipated
economic recovery and/or our inability, in whole or in part, to continue to execute our business strategies and plans, such as due
to less than anticipated customer acceptance of our new game titles, our experiencing difficulties or the inability to launch our
games as planned, less than anticipated performance of the games impacting customer acceptance and sales and/or greater than anticipated
costs and expenses to develop and launch our games, including, without limitation, higher than expected labor costs; |
|
|
|
|
(iii) |
difficulties,
delays in or unanticipated events that may impact the timing and scope of new product launches, such as due to difficulties and/or
delays related to our transition from using development staff in Russia to using development staff in other countries and/or difficulties
and/or delays arising out of any resurgence of the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic; |
|
(iv) |
less
than expected benefits from implementing our management strategies and/or adverse economic, market and geopolitical conditions that
negatively impact industry trends, such as significant changes in the labor markets, an extended or higher than expected inflationary
environment (such as the impact on consumer discretionary spending as a result of significant increases in energy and gas prices
which have been increasing since early in 2020), a higher interest rate environment, tax increases impacting consumer discretionary
spending and or quantitative easing that results in higher interest rates that negatively impact consumers’ discretionary spending,
or adverse developments relating to the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine; |
|
|
|
|
(v) |
delays
and higher than anticipated expenses related to the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic; |

adverse effects on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or liquidity as a result of
unexpected developments with respect to our legal proceedings; and |
|
|
|
|
(xv) |
difficulties,
delays or our inability to successfully complete the 2022 Restructuring Program, in whole or in part, which could result in less
than expected operating and financial benefits from such actions, as well as delays in completing the 2022 Restructuring Program,
which could reduce the benefits realized from such activities; higher than anticipated restructuring charges and/or payments and/or
changes in the expected timing of such charges and/or payments; and/or less than anticipated annualized cost reductions from the
2022 Restructuring Program and/or changes in the timing of realizing such cost reductions, such as due to less than anticipated liquidity
to fund such activities and/or more than expected costs to achieve the expected cost reductions. |
Additionally,
there are other risks and uncertainties described from time to time in the reports that we file with the SEC. Should one or more of these
risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of these assumptions prove to be incorrect, our actual operating and financial performance
may vary in material respects from the performance projected in these forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement
speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking
statement contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any free writing prospectus, including the information
incorporated by reference herein and therein, to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the
occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances, except as otherwise required by law. New factors that could cause
our business not to develop as we expect emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. Further, we
cannot assess the impact of each currently known or new factor on our results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination
of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

price of $26.75 per share (which represents 125% of the purchase price per share). Such warrants will expire five years after the commencement
of sales under the February 1 Offering.
Upon
the closing of the February 2 Offering, the Company paid H.C. Wainwright a cash transaction fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross
proceeds to the Company from the February 2 Offering, non-accountable expenses of $25,000 and closing fees of $15,950. The Company also
issued to H.C. Wainwright’s designees warrants to purchase up to 8,662 shares of Class A common stock, which is equal to 6.0% of
the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock placed in the February 2 Offering, at an exercise price of $29.375 per share (which
represents 125% of the purchase price per share). Such warrants will expire five years after the commencement of sales under the February
2 Offering.
Upon
the closing of the February 3 Offering, the Company paid H.C. Wainwright a cash transaction fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross
proceeds to the Company from the February 3 Offering, non-accountable expenses of $25,000 and closing fees of $15,950. The Company also
issued to H.C. Wainwright’s designees warrants to purchase up to 13,931 shares of Class A common stock, which is equal to 6.0%
of the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock placed in the February 3 Offering, at an exercise price of $21.738 per share
(which represents 125% of the purchase price per share). Such warrants will expire five years after the commencement of sales under the
February 3 Offering.
The
shares issued under the Offerings were issued pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC on
February 1, 2022 (File No. 333-262462) and became effective on February 10, 2022, and a base prospectus and prospectus supplement thereunder.
Debt
for Equity Exchanges
On
January 30, 2023, the Company entered into a debt-for-equity exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Motorsport
Network, whereby the Company issued 338,983 shares (the “Acquired Shares”) of Class A common stock to Motorsport Network,
which amount represented the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock equal to $1,000,000 (the “Discharged Debt”),
representing a portion of the Company’s outstanding debt (including the principal and not yet paid interest thereon) under the
Line of Credit held by Motorsport Network, divided by the lower of: (i) the closing price as reflected on Nasdaq.com (the “Nasdaq
Official Closing Price”) of the Class A common stock immediately preceding the signing of the Exchange Agreement, or (ii) the average
Nasdaq Official Closing Price of the Class A common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the Exchange
Agreement. The Acquired Shares were issued in consideration for the cancellation of the Discharged Debt under the Line of Credit. Under
the Exchange Agreement, subject to conditions set forth therein, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC upon
demand from Motorsport Network at any time within 60 days after the date on which the transactions contemplated under the Exchange Agreement
have been completed in order to register the resale of the Acquired Shares. The Exchange Agreement also granted certain piggyback registration
rights to Motorsport Network. The Acquired Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and cannot be offered or sold in
the United States absent effective registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The Company is relying on
the private placement exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or by Rule 506 of Regulation
D promulgated thereunder and on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.
On
February 1, 2023, the Company entered into a debt-for-equity exchange agreement (the “February 1 Exchange Agreement”) with
Motorsport Network, whereby the Company issued to Motorsport Network 441,402 shares of Class A common stock (the “February 1 Acquired
Shares”), which amount represents the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock equal to $2,948,565.99 (the “February
1 Discharged Debt”), representing the Company’s remaining debt outstanding (including the principal and not yet paid interest
thereon) under the Line of Credit, divided by $6.68, which is the lower of: (i) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price of the Class A common
stock immediately preceding the signing of the Exchange Agreement, or (ii) the average Nasdaq Official Closing Price of the Class A common
stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the February 1 Exchange Agreement. The February 1 Acquired Shares
were issued in consideration for the cancellation of the February 1 Discharged Debt under the Line of Credit.
Under
the February 1 Exchange Agreement, subject to conditions set forth therein, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with
the SEC upon demand from Motorsport Network at any time within 60 days after the date on which the transactions contemplated under the
February 1 Exchange Agreement have been completed in order to register the resale of the February 1 Acquired Shares. The February 1 Exchange
Agreement also granted certain piggyback registration rights to Motorsport Network. The Acquired
Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, and cannot be offered or sold
in the United States absent effective registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The Company is relying
on the private placement exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or by Rule 506 of Regulation
D promulgated thereunder and on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.
Corporate
History and Information
Motorsport
Gaming US LLC was organized as a limited liability company on August 2, 2018 under the laws of the State of Florida. On January 8, 2021,
Motorsport Gaming US LLC converted into a Delaware corporation pursuant to a statutory conversion and changed its name to Motorsport
Games Inc. in connection with our initial public offering (“IPO”). Effective as of January 8, 2021, 100% of the membership
interests held by the sole member of Motorsport Gaming US LLC, Motorsport Network, converted into an aggregate of (i) 7,000,000 shares
of Class A common stock of Motorsport Games Inc. and (ii) 7,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, which have 10 votes per share, of
Motorsport Games Inc., which represented all of the outstanding shares of Class A and Class B common stock immediately following the
corporate conversion. Motorsport Network is the only holder of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock and does not have any
transfer, conversion, registration, or economic rights with respect to such shares of Class B common stock.
In
November 2022, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to effectuate a reverse split of the issued and outstanding shares
of Class A common stock and Class B common stock at a ratio of 1-for-10. Shares underlying outstanding equity-based awards were proportionately
decreased and the respective per share exercise prices, if applicable, were proportionately increased in accordance with the terms of
the agreements governing such securities. There was no change in the par value of the Class A common stock and Class B common stock as
a result of the reverse stock split.
Our
principal executive offices are located at 5972 NE 4th Avenue Miami, FL 33137, and our telephone number is (305) 507-8799. Our website
address is www.motorsportgames.com. None of the information contained on, or that may be accessed through, our website is a prospectus
or constitutes part of, or is otherwise incorporated into, this prospectus supplement. We have included our website address in this prospectus
supplement solely as an inactive textual reference.
Emerging
Growth Company
We
are an “emerging growth company”, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business
Startups Act (“JOBS Act”), and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable
to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the
auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation
in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive
compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further,
section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting
standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do
not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting
standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended
transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private
companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised
standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with certain other public companies difficult or impossible because of
the potential differences in accounting standards used.
We
will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary
of the completion of Motorsport Games’ IPO, (b) in which Motorsport Games has a total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion,
(c) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period, or
(d) the date on which Motorsport Games is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of Motorsport Games’
common stock that is held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700 million as of the end of that year’s second fiscal quarter and
Motorsport Games is not eligible to use the requirements for smaller reporting companies under the revenue test for the definition of
“smaller reporting company” under Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act. References herein to “emerging growth
company” will have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

|
● |
49,494
shares of our Class A common stock reserved
for issuance under the options as of December 31, 2022, some of which were granted pursuant to our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan

Unless
otherwise indicated, all information in this prospectus supplement assumes no exercise of the outstanding options and warrants described
in the bullets above. To the extent that options or warrants are exercised, new awards are granted under the 2021 Plan, or we issue additional
shares of Class A common stock or warrants in the future, there will be further dilution to investors participating in this offering.
RISK
FACTORS
An
investment in our shares of Class A common stock involves risks and uncertainties. You should carefully consider the risk factors incorporated
by reference to the 2022 Form 10-K, any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, and all other information
contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act,
and the risk factors and other information contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any free writing
prospectuses before making an investment decision. The risks described in these documents are not the only ones we face. Additional risks
and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. Past financial
performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or
trends in future periods. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow
could be materially adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of our securities to decline, resulting in a loss of all or
part of your investment. Please also carefully read the section titled “Forward-Looking Statements.”
Risks
Relating to our Class A common stock, this Offering and Other Matters
If
you purchase shares of Class A common stock in this offering, you will suffer immediate dilution of your investment.
The
shares of Class A common stock sold in this offering, if any, will be sold from time to time at various prices. However, the expected
offering price of our Class A common stock will be substantially higher than the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our
Class A common stock. Therefore, if you purchase shares of our Class A common stock in this offering, you likely will pay a price per
share that substantially exceeds our as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering. Assuming that an aggregate of
491,481 shares of our Class A common stock are sold at a price of $5.94 per share pursuant to this prospectus supplement, which was the
last reported sale price of our Class A common stock on Nasdaq on March 30, 2023, for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,919,397, after deducting
commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us, you will experience immediate dilution of $(11.18) per share,
representing the difference between our as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering and the assumed
offering price of $5.94 per share. To the extent outstanding options or warrants are exercised, you will incur further dilution. For
additional information on the dilution that you will experience immediately after this offering, see the section titled “Dilution.”
You
may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings or the exercise of stock options or warrants.
To
raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our Class A common stock or other securities convertible into
or exchangeable for shares of our Class A common stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We
may sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by investors
in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to those of existing stockholders.
The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our Class A common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than
the price per share paid by the investors in this offering.
Because
we will have broad discretion and flexibility in how the net proceeds from this offering are used, we may use the net proceeds in ways
in which you disagree and in ways that may not yield a return on your investment.
We
intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, which may include development of multiple games,
working capital and other business purposes. See “Use of Proceeds.” We have not allocated
specific amounts of the net proceeds from this offering for any of the foregoing purposes. Accordingly, our management will have significant
discretion and flexibility in applying the net proceeds of this offering. You will be relying on the judgment of our management with
regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether
the net proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that the net proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable,
or any, return for us. The failure of our management to use such funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, operating results and cash flow.
The
actual number of shares we will issue under the Distribution Agreement, at any one time or in total, is uncertain.
Subject
to certain limitations in the Distribution Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver sale instructions
to Canaccord at any time throughout the term of the Distribution Agreement. The number of shares of Class A common stock that are sold
by Canaccord after we deliver sale instructions will fluctuate based on the market price of our Class A common stock and limits we set
with Canaccord. Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate based on the market price of our Class A common stock during
the sales period, it is not possible to predict the number of shares of Class A common stock that will be ultimately issued and sold.
The
Class A common stock offered hereby will be sold in “at the market offerings,” and investors who buy shares of Class A common
stock at different times will likely pay different prices.
The
shares of Class A common stock sold in this offering, if any, will be sold from time to time at various prices. If you purchase shares
of Class A common stock in this offering, you may experience different outcomes in your investment results relative to other investors
who purchase shares of Class A common stock in this offering. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing,
prices, and numbers of shares of Class A common stock sold, and there is no minimum or maximum sales price. If you purchase shares of
Class A common stock in this offering, you may experience a decline in the value of your shares of Class A common stock as a result of
share sales made to other investors at prices lower than the price you paid.
Sales
of our Class A common stock by stockholders may have an adverse effect on the then prevailing market price of our Class A common stock.
Sales
of a substantial number of shares of our Class A common stock in the public market following the offering could cause the market price
of our Class A common stock to decline and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.
We cannot predict the effect that future sales of our Class A common stock or other equity-related securities would have on the market
price of our Class A common stock.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
From
time to time, we may issue and sell shares of our Class A common stock having aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to $2,919,403 (before
deducting sales agent commissions and expenses) under this prospectus supplement. Because there is no minimum offering amount required
as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable
at this time. There can be no assurance that, in the future, we will sell any shares under or fully utilize the Distribution Agreement
with Canaccord as a source of financing.
Assuming
we issue and sell the maximum amount of Class A common stock available in this offering, we estimate that our net proceeds from this
offering will be approximately $2.7 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes,
which may include the development of multiple games, working capital and other business purposes. The amounts and timing of our use of
proceeds will vary depending on a number of factors, including the amount of cash generated or used by our operations. As a result, we
will retain broad discretion in the allocation of the net proceeds of this offering, and investors will be relying on the judgment of
our management team regarding the application of the net proceeds from this offering.
Our
future capital requirements and the availability of and accessibility to additional funds will depend on many factors, including those
described in the section of this prospectus supplement captioned “Risk Factors,” and in the documents incorporated by reference
into this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus.
DIVIDEND
POLICY
We
have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. Our board of directors currently intends to retain any future earnings
to support its operations and to finance the growth and development of our business and does not intend to declare or pay cash dividends
on shares of our Class A common stock for the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be made at the discretion
of our board of directors. Investors should not purchase shares of our Class A common stock with the expectation of receiving cash dividends.
DILUTION
If
you invest in our Class A common stock in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference
between the public offering price per share you will pay in this offering and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our
Class A common stock after this offering.
Our
historical net tangible book deficit as of December 31, 2022 was $(11.5) million, or $(9.68) per share of Class
A common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2022. Our historical net tangible book deficit is the amount of our total tangible
assets less our total liabilities. Historical net tangible book deficit per share represents our historical net tangible book
deficit divided by the number of shares of our Class A common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2022.
After
giving effect to an assumed sale of 491,481 shares of Class A common stock in the aggregate amount of $2,919,397 in this offering at
an assumed offering price of $5.94 per share, the last reported sale price of our Class A common stock on Nasdaq on March 30, 2023, and
after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31,
2022 would have been $(8.8) million, or $(5.24) per share. This represents an immediate increase of $4.44 in as adjusted
net tangible book value per share to existing stockholders and immediate dilution of $(11.18) in as adjusted net tangible book
value per share to investors purchasing shares of our Class A common stock in this offering. Dilution per share to investors purchasing
shares of our Class A common stock in this offering is determined by subtracting as adjusted net tangible book value per share after
this offering from the assumed public offering price per share paid by investors purchasing shares of our Class A common stock in this
offering. The following table illustrates this dilution to the investors purchasing shares of our Class A common stock in this offering.

Unless

in the bullets above. To the extent that options or warrants are exercised, new awards are granted under the 2021 Plan, or we issue additional
shares of Class A common stock or warrants in the future, there will be further dilution to investors participating in this offering.

Class
A Common Stock
Our
common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MSGM.”
The
transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Worldwide Stock Transfer, LLC.
See
“Description of Capital Stock” in the accompanying base prospectus for more information regarding our shares of Class
A common stock.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We
have entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Canaccord Genuity LLC (“Canaccord”)
under which we may issue and sell shares of Class A common stock from time to time through Canaccord, acting as sales agent, subject
to certain limitations, having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $2,919,403. Sales of shares of our Class A common stock, if any,
under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may be made by any method that is deemed to be an “at the market
offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act, including sales made directly on or through Nasdaq
or on any other existing trading market for our Class A common stock.
Each
time we wish to issue and sell any shares of our Class A common stock under the Distribution Agreement, we will notify Canaccord of the
aggregate number of shares to be sold, the dates on which such sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of shares
to be sold in any one day, any minimum price below which sales may not be made, and other sales parameters as we deem appropriate. Once
we have so instructed Canaccord, unless Canaccord declines to accept the terms of such notice, Canaccord has agreed to use its commercially
reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such shares of Class A common stock up to the amount
specified on such terms. The obligations of Canaccord under the Distribution Agreement to sell shares of our Class A common stock are
subject to a number of conditions that we must meet.
The
settlement for sales of Class A common stock between us and Canaccord is generally anticipated to occur on the second trading day following
the date on which the sale was made. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.
We
have agreed to pay Canaccord a commission equal to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds we receive from each sale of our Class A common
stock sold through Canaccord pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition
to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, Canaccord’s commissions and the proceeds to us, if any, are not
determinable at this time. We have also agreed to reimburse Canaccord for certain reasonable and documented expenses, including fees
and disbursements of its counsel, up to an amount of (i) $75,000 in connection with the execution of the Distribution Agreement
and (ii) $15,000 in connection with each date on which we are required to provide a certificate pursuant to Section 7(o) of the Distribution
Agreement. We estimate that the total expenses of the offering payable by us, excluding any commissions and the reimbursement payable
to Canaccord under the terms of the Distribution Agreement, will be approximately $75,000. The remaining sale proceeds, after
deducting any other transaction fees, will equal the net proceeds from the sale of such Class A common stock.
Canaccord
will provide written confirmation to us before the open on Nasdaq on the day following each day on which our shares of Class A common
stock are sold under the Distribution Agreement. Each confirmation will include the number of shares sold on that day, the aggregate
gross proceeds of such sales and the net proceeds.
In
connection with the sale of Class A common stock on our behalf, Canaccord will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the
meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation of Canaccord will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have
agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to Canaccord against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act.
The
offering of our Class A common stock pursuant to the Distribution Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the issuance and sale
of all shares of our Class A common stock subject to the Distribution Agreement or (ii) the termination of the Distribution Agreement
as permitted therein. We or Canaccord may suspend the offering of Class A common stock under the Distribution Agreement upon proper notice
to the other party and subject to other conditions.
This
summary of the material provisions of the Distribution Agreement does not purport to be a complete statement of its terms and conditions.
A copy of the Distribution Agreement is filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed under the Exchange Act and is incorporated

RISK
FACTORS
Investing
in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully
the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in the applicable prospectus supplement
and any related free writing prospectus, and discussed under the section entitled “Risk Factors” contained in our most recent
Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as any amendments thereto reflected in subsequent
filings with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus in their entirety, together with other information in
this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize for use in connection
with this offering. The risks described in these documents are not the only ones we face, but those that we consider to be material.
There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could have material adverse
effects on our future results. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends
should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial
condition, results of operations or cash flow could be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price of our securities to decline,
resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Please also carefully read the section below entitled “Special Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements.”
SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
prospectus, each prospectus supplement and the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus and each prospectus supplement
contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of federal securities laws, including statements that involve expectations,
plans or intentions, such as, but not limited to, those relating to:
| ● | our
future business, results of operations, financial condition and/or liquidity, including with
respect to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; |
| ● | new
or planned products or offerings; |
| ● | our
intention to expand our license arrangements to other internationally recognized racing series
and the platforms we operate on; |
| ● | our
expectation that having a broader product portfolio will improve our operating results and
provide a revenue stream that is less cyclical based on the release of a single game per
year; |
| ● | our
plans to drive ongoing engagement and incremental revenue from recurrent consumer spending
on our titles through in-game purchases and extra content; |
| ● | our
expectation that we will continue to derive significant revenues from sales of our products
to a very limited number of distribution partners; |
| ● | our
belief that additions to our existing portfolio of games centered around popular licensed
racing series will provide us the opportunity to further grow our esports business by having
more titles to produce our esports events; |
| ● | our
expectation that we will continue to invest in technology, hardware and software to support
our games and services, including with respect to security protections; |
| ● | our
intention to continue to look for opportunities to expand the recurring portion of our business; |
| ● | our
belief that we may choose to raise additional funds at any time through equity or debt financing
arrangements, which may or may not be needed for additional working capital, capital expenditures
or other strategic investments, as well as our cash flows and anticipated uses of cash; |
| ● | our
beliefs regarding the impact of any claims and litigation that we are subject to; |
| ● | potential
acquisitions; and |
We
use words such as “could,” “would,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “expect,”
“likely,” “believe,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,”
“plan,” “project” and other similar expressions to identify some forward-looking statements, but not all forward-looking
statements include these words. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that we have made in light of our industry experience
and our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate
under the circumstances. You are cautioned that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties
(many of which are beyond our control) and assumptions. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable
assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual operating and financial performance and cause our performance
to differ materially from the performance anticipated in the forward-looking statements. We discuss in greater detail many of these risks
in the applicable prospectus supplement, in any free writing prospectuses we may authorize for use in connection with a specific offering,
in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and in our most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as well as any amendments thereto,
and in our subsequent filings with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus in their entirety. These include,
but are not limited to, the following principal risks:
| ● | If
we do not consistently deliver popular products or if consumers prefer competing products,
our business may be negatively impacted. |
| ● | Our
business and products are highly concentrated in the racing game genre, and our operating
results may suffer if consumer preferences shift away from this genre. |
| ● | If
we do not provide high-quality products in a timely manner, our business operations, financial
performance, financial condition, liquidity, cash flows and/or results of operations may
be negatively impacted. |
| ● | The
ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our operations and could continue to
adversely affect our business operations, financial performance, financial condition, liquidity,
cash flows and/or results of operations, the extent of which is uncertain and difficult to
predict. |
| ● | Declines
in consumer spending and other adverse changes in the economy could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, cash flows and/or operating results. |
| ● | We
depend on a relatively small number of franchises for a significant portion of our revenues
and profits. |
| ● | Our
ability to acquire and maintain licenses to intellectual property, especially for sports
titles, affects our revenues and profitability. |
| ● | The
importance of retail sales to our business exposes us to the risks of that business model. |
| ● | We
primarily depend on a single third-party distribution partner to distribute our games for
the retail channel, and our ability to negotiate favorable terms with such partner and its
continued willingness to purchase our games is critical for our business. |
| ● | We
plan to continue to generate a portion of our revenues from advertising and sponsorship during
our esports events. If we are unable to attract more advertisers and sponsors to our gaming
platform, tournaments or competitions, our revenues may be adversely affected. |
| ● | We
are reliant on the retention of certain key personnel and the hiring of strategically valuable
personnel, and we may lose or be unable to hire one or more of such personnel, which could
adversely affect our ability to achieve our business plans and financial objectives. |
| ● | The
success of our business relies heavily on our marketing and branding efforts, and these efforts
may not be accepted by consumers to the extent we planned. |
| ● | If
we do not adequately address the shift to mobile device technology by our customers, operating
results could be harmed and our financial performance, financial condition, liquidity, cash
flows and/or growth plans could be negatively affected. |
| ● | Failure
to adequately protect our intellectual property, technology and confidential information
could harm our business and operating results. |
| ● | Motorsport
Network controls more than a majority of our Class A common stock and holds all of
Class B common stock and therefore it has the ability to exert significant control over the
direction of our business, which could prevent other stockholders from influencing significant
decisions regarding our business plans and other matters. |
| ● | If
we are no longer controlled by or affiliated with Motorsport Network, we may be unable to
continue to benefit from that relationship, which may adversely affect our operations and
have a material adverse effect on us and our financial performance, financial condition,
liquidity and/or cash flows. |
| ● | We
have incurred significant losses since our inception, and we may continue to experience losses
in the future, which could adversely impact our ability to invest in new product development,
marketing, advertising and other activities that are important to achieving our business
plans and financial objectives. |
| ● | Our
limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and future
prospects, and we may not be able to effectively grow our business or implement our business
strategies. |
| ● | We
are an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company, and we cannot be certain
if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to us will make our Class A common stock
less attractive to investors. |
| ● | The
dual class structure of our common stock may adversely affect the trading market for our
Class A common stock. |
| ● | Higher
than anticipated payments, costs, expenses and liabilities or other unanticipated consequences
arising from pending or future litigation. |
| ● | Less
than expected liquidity or the unavailability of additional sources of funds from equity
or debt financing arrangements, from less than anticipated cash generated by our operations,
from less than expected availability of funds under the promissory note from Motorsport Network,
from higher than expected operating expenses (such as higher than expected capital expenditures,
debt service payments and costs, cash tax payments, acquisitions, joint ventures and/or licensing
arrangements, costs related to litigation, advertising, promotional and marketing activities
or for product sales returns by our customers or otherwise), from the inability to efficiently
manage cash and working capital and/or from macroeconomic trends, such as higher inflation
and interest rates and taxes. |
Also,
these forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of the document containing the applicable
statement. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information
or future events or developments. Thus, you should not assume that actual events are bearing out as expressed or implied in such forward-looking
statements. You should read this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement, together with the documents we have filed with the
SEC that are incorporated by reference and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize for use in connection with this offering
completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all
of the forward-looking statements in the foregoing documents by these cautionary statements.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
Unless
otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from our sale of securities offered by
this prospectus for general corporate purposes, which includes working capital, potential acquisitions, retirement of debt and other
business opportunities. The timing and amount of our actual expenditures will be based on many factors; therefore, unless otherwise indicated
in the prospectus supplement, our management will have broad discretion to allocate the net proceeds of our offerings. The specific allocations
of the proceeds we receive from our sale of our securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
We
will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of our Class A common stock by the selling stockholder.

applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). This description is not complete and is subject
to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws, each of which is incorporated by
reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and the DGCL. You should read our certificate
of incorporation, our bylaws and the applicable provisions of the DGCL for a complete statement of the provisions described below and
for other provisions that may be important to you. For information on how to obtain copies of our certificate of incorporation and our

Common
Stock
Prior
to January 8, 2021, we operated as a Florida limited liability company under the name Motorsport Gaming US LLC. On January 8, 2021, Motorsport
Gaming US LLC converted into a Delaware corporation pursuant to a statutory conversion and changed its name to Motorsport Games Inc.
Effective
as of January 8, 2021, 100% of the membership interests held by the sole member of Motorsport Gaming US LLC, Motorsport Network, converted
into an aggregate of (i) 7,000,000 shares of Class A common stock of Motorsport Games Inc. (the “MSN Initial Class A Shares”)
and (ii) 7,000,000 shares of Class B common stock of Motorsport Games Inc., representing all of the outstanding shares of Class A and
Class B common stock immediately following the corporate conversion. Motorsport Network is the only holder of shares of our Class B common
stock and does not have any transfer, conversion, registration or economic rights with respect to such shares of Class B common stock.
In the event Motorsport Network or its affiliates relinquish beneficial ownership of any of the MSN Initial Class A Shares at any time,
one share of Class B common stock held by Motorsport Network will be cancelled for each such MSN Initial Class A Share no longer beneficially
owned by Motorsport Network or its affiliates. Any pledge of MSN Initial Class A Shares by Motorsport Network or its affiliates will
not constitute a relinquishment of such beneficial ownership. The MSN Initial Class A Shares and shares of Class B common stock held
by Motorsport Network will be adjusted in equal proportions for any stock dividend, stock split or similar transaction undertaken by
the Company.
Voting
Rights
Holders
of our Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and holders
of our Class B common stock are entitled to 10 votes for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders
of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class, unless otherwise required by law. Under our
certificate of incorporation, approval of the holders of a majority of the Class B common stock will be required to increase or decrease
the number of authorized shares of our Class B common stock, and the approval of two-thirds of the Class B common stock will be required
to amend or repeal, or adopt any provision inconsistent with, or otherwise alter, any provision of our certificate of incorporation that
modifies the voting, par value, conversion or other rights, powers, preferences, special rights, privileges or restrictions of the Class
B common stock. In addition, Delaware law could require either holders of our Class A common stock or our Class B common stock to vote
separately as a single class in the following circumstances:
| ● | if
we were to seek to amend our certificate of incorporation to increase or decrease the aggregate
number of authorized shares or par value of a class of stock, then that class would be required
to vote separately to approve the proposed amendment; and |
| ● | if
we were to seek to amend our certificate of incorporation in a manner that alters or changes
the powers, preferences or special rights of a class of stock in a manner that affected its
holders adversely, then that class would be required to vote separately to approve the proposed
amendment. |
Dividends
Subject
to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of shares of Class A common stock
are entitled to dividends when and as declared by our board of directors from funds legally available therefor if, as and when determined
by our board of directors in its sole discretion, subject to provisions of law and any provision of our certificate of incorporation,
as amended from time to time. The holder of Class B common stock will not be entitled to receive any dividends with respect to the shares
of Class B common stock, except dividends payable in shares of Class B common stock or rights to acquire shares of Class B common stock
that may be declared and paid to the holder of Class B common stock to proportionally adjust for dividends payable in shares of Class
A common stock or rights to acquire shares of Class A common stock that are declared and paid to the holders of Class A common stock.
Liquidation
In
the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, the holders of our Class A common stock
and any participating preferred stock outstanding at that time will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available
for distribution to stockholders after the payment of or provision for all of our debts and other liabilities, and the preferential rights
of and the payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding shares of preferred stock. The holder of Class B common stock
will not be entitled to receive any liquidation distributions with respect to the shares of Class B common stock.
Fully
Paid and Non-Assessable
All
outstanding shares of common stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Other
Matters
There
are no preemptive, conversion or redemption privileges, nor sinking fund provisions with respect to our common stock.
Preferred
Stock
Our
board of directors has the authority, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred
stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series and to fix the designation,
powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each series and any of its qualifications, limitations or restrictions, in each case
without further vote or action by our stockholders. Our board of directors can also increase or decrease the number of shares of any
series of preferred stock, but not below the number of shares of that series then outstanding, without any further vote or action by
our stockholders. Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely
affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility
in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring
or preventing a change in control of our Company and might adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the voting and other
rights of the holders of our common stock. We have no current plan to issue any shares of preferred stock.
We
will fix the designations, voting powers, preferences and rights of the preferred stock of each series we issue under this prospectus,
as well as the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, in the certificate of designation relating to that series. We will
file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from reports that
we file with the SEC, the form of any certificate of designation that contains the terms of the series of preferred stock we may offer.
We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of preferred stock that we may offer, including, to
the extent applicable:
| ● | the
title and stated value; |
| ● | the
number of shares we may offer; |
| ● | the
liquidation preference per share; |
| ● | the
dividend rate, period and payment date and method of calculation for dividends; |
| ● | whether
dividends will be cumulative or non-cumulative and, if cumulative, the date from which dividends
will accumulate; |
| ● | the
procedures for any auction and remarketing, if applicable; |
| ● | the
provisions for a sinking fund, if applicable; |
| ● | the
provisions for redemption or repurchase, if applicable, and any restrictions on our ability
to exercise those redemption and repurchase rights; |
| ● | any
listing of the preferred stock on any securities exchange or market; |
| ● | whether
the preferred stock will be convertible into our common stock, and, if applicable, the conversion
price, or how it will be calculated, and the conversion period; |
| ● | whether
the preferred stock will be exchangeable into debt securities, and, if applicable, the exchange
price, or how it will be calculated, and the exchange period; |
| ● | voting
rights of the preferred stock; |
| ● | preemptive
rights, if any; |
| ● | restrictions
on transfer, sale or other assignment; |
| ● | whether
interests in the preferred stock will be represented by depositary shares; |
| ● | a
discussion of material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to the preferred
stock; |
| ● | the
relative ranking and preferences of the preferred stock as to dividend rights and rights
if we liquidate, dissolve or wind up our affairs; |
| ● | any
limitations on the issuance of any class or series of preferred stock ranking senior to or
on a parity with the series of preferred stock as to dividend rights and rights if we liquidate,
dissolve or wind up our affairs; and |
| ● | any
other specific terms, preferences, rights or limitations of, or restrictions on, the preferred
stock. |
Anti-Takeover
Provisions
Certain
provisions of Delaware law, as well as our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws, may have the effect of delaying, deferring or
discouraging another person from acquiring control of us. These provisions include the items described below. They are also designed,
in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate first with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits
of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of
discouraging a proposal to acquire us because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Delaware
Law
We
are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, which generally prohibits a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a
“business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction
in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless:
| ● | the
business combination or transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested
stockholder was approved by the board of directors prior to the time that the stockholder
became an interested stockholder; |
| ● | upon
consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested
stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation
outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding shares owned by directors who
are also officers of the corporation and shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee
participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject
to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or |
| ● | at
or subsequent to the time the stockholder became an interested stockholder, the business
combination was approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special
meeting of the stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least
two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
In
general, Section 203 of the DGCL defines a “business combination” to include mergers, asset sales and other transactions
resulting in financial benefit to a stockholder and an “interested stockholder” as a person who, together with affiliates
and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock.
A
Delaware corporation may “opt out” of these provisions with an express provision in its original certificate of incorporation
or an express provision in its certificate of incorporation or bylaws resulting from an amendment approved by at least a majority of
the outstanding voting shares. We have not opted out of these provisions. As a result, mergers or other takeover or change in control
attempts of us may be discouraged or prevented. These provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing changes in
control of our Company.
Certificate
of Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions
Our
certificate of incorporation and our bylaws include a number of provisions that could deter hostile takeovers or delay or prevent changes
in control of our board of directors or management team, including the following:
Dual
Class Stock
As
described above in “—Common Stock—Voting,” our certificate of incorporation provides for a dual class common
stock structure, which will provide the holder of Class B common stock with significant influence over matters requiring stockholder
approval, including the election of directors and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of our Company or
its assets.
Each
share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote, while each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes. Motorsport
Network is the only holder of shares of our Class B common stock and does not have any transfer, conversion, registration or economic
rights with respect to such shares of Class B common stock. In the event Motorsport Network or its affiliates relinquish beneficial ownership
of any of the MSN Initial Class A Shares at any time, one share of Class B common stock held by Motorsport Network will be cancelled
for each such MSN Initial Class A Share no longer beneficially owned by Motorsport Network or its affiliates. Any pledge of MSN Initial
Class A Shares by Motorsport Network or its affiliates will not constitute a relinquishment of such beneficial ownership. The MSN Initial
Class A Shares and shares of Class B common stock held by Motorsport Network will be adjusted in equal proportions for any stock dividend,
stock split or similar transaction undertaken by the Company.
Board
of Directors Vacancies
Our
certificate of incorporation and bylaws authorize only our board of directors to fill vacant directorships, including newly created seats.
In addition, the number of directors constituting our board of directors will be permitted to be set only by a resolution adopted by
a majority vote of our entire board of directors. These provisions would prevent a stockholder from increasing the size of our board
of directors and then gaining control of our board of directors by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees. This makes
it more difficult to change the composition of our board of directors and promotes continuity of management.
Stockholder
Action; Special Meeting of Stockholders
Our
certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by a majority of our board
of directors, the chairperson of our board of directors, our Chief Executive Officer or our President, thus prohibiting a stockholder
from calling a special meeting. These provisions might delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or
for stockholders controlling a majority of our capital stock to take any action, including the removal of directors.
Advance
Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations
Our
bylaws provide advance notice procedures for stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate
candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders. Our bylaws also specify certain requirements regarding the
form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions might preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual
meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders if the proper procedures are not
followed. We expect that these provisions may also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies
to elect any potential acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our Company.
Removal
of Directors
Our
certificate of incorporation provides that directors may only be removed for cause and upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting power of our capital stock voting together as a single class.
No
Cumulative Voting
The
DGCL provides that stockholders are not entitled to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless a corporation’s certificate
of incorporation provides otherwise. Our certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting.
Amendment
of Charter and Bylaw Provisions
Amendments
to our certificate of incorporation will require the approval of two-thirds of the outstanding voting power of our common stock. Our
certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that approval of stockholders holding two-thirds of our outstanding voting power voting
as a single class is required for stockholders to amend or adopt any provision of our bylaws.
Issuance
of Undesignated Preferred Stock
Our
board of directors has the authority, without further action by our stockholders, to issue shares of undesignated preferred stock with
rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to time by our board of directors. The existence of authorized
but unissued shares of preferred stock would enable our board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain
control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or other means.
Limits
on Ability of Stockholders to Act by Written Consent
Our
certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that our stockholders may not act by written consent. This limit on the ability of our
stockholders to act by written consent may lengthen the amount of time required to take stockholder actions. As a result, no stockholder,
regardless of how large its holdings of our stock are, would be able to amend our bylaws or remove directors without holding a stockholders’
meeting.
Board
Classification
Our
board of directors is divided into two classes, with an alternating class being elected each year by our stockholders. The directors
in each class will serve for a two-year term. A third party may be discouraged from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to
obtain control of us because it is more difficult and time-consuming for stockholders to replace a majority of the directors on a classified
board.
Exclusive
Forum
Our
certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action
asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors or officers to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action
asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or our certificate of incorporation or bylaws or (iv) any
action asserting a claim that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine, shall be the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware;
provided that the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction;
and provided further that, if and only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware dismisses any such action for lack of subject
matter jurisdiction, such action may be brought in another state or federal court sitting in the State of Delaware. Our certificate of
incorporation and bylaws also provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for
the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action against us or any of our directors, officers, employees or agents arising
under the Securities Act. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in our securities shall be deemed to have
notice of and consented to this provision. Although we believe these provisions benefit us by providing increased consistency in the
application of Delaware law for the specified types of actions and proceedings, these provisions may have the effect of discouraging
lawsuits against us or our directors and officers. There is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provisions, and the
enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ charter documents has been successfully challenged in
legal proceedings. While the Delaware courts have determined that such choice of forum provisions are facially valid, a stockholder may
nevertheless seek to bring a claim in a venue other than those designated in the exclusive forum provisions, and there can be no assurance
that such provisions will be enforced by a court in those other jurisdictions. We note that investors cannot waive compliance with the
federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
Transfer
Agent and Registrar
The
transfer agent and registrar for our Class A common stock is Worldwide Stock Transfer, LLC. The transfer agent’s address is One
University Plaza, Suite 505, Hackensack, New Jersey 07601 and its telephone number is (201) 820-2008.
Listing
Our
Class A common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbol “MSGM.”
DESCRIPTION

We
may issue warrants for the purchase of shares of our Class A common stock or preferred stock or a combination thereof. We may issue warrants
independently or together with other securities, and the warrants may be attached to or separate from any offered securities. Each series

rights may be issued independently or together with any other security offered by us and may or may not be transferable by the securityholder

may issue units consisting of any combination of the other types of securities offered under this prospectus in one or more series. We
may evidence each series of units by unit certificates that we would issue under a separate agreement. We may enter into unit agreements
with a unit agent. We would indicate the name and address of the unit agent in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular
series of units.
The
following description, together with the additional information included in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the general
features of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. You should read any prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus

SELLING
STOCKHOLDER
Unless
the context otherwise requires, as used in this prospectus, “selling stockholder” includes Motorsport Network and its pledgees,
donees, transferees, assignees and others who later come to hold some or all of the Class A common stock being offered by the selling
stockholder pursuant to this prospectus. We have prepared this prospectus to allow the selling stockholder to sell or otherwise dispose
of, from time to time, up to 7,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by
the selling stockholder.
Prior
to January 8, 2021, we operated as a Florida limited liability company under the name Motorsport Gaming US LLC. On January 8, 2021, Motorsport
Gaming US LLC converted into a Delaware corporation pursuant to a statutory conversion and changed its name to Motorsport Games Inc.
Effective
as of January 8, 2021, 100% of the membership interests held by the sole member of Motorsport Gaming US LLC, Motorsport Network, converted
into an aggregate of (i) 7,000,000 shares of Class A common stock of Motorsport Games Inc. and (ii) 7,000,000 shares of Class B common
stock of Motorsport Games Inc., representing all of the outstanding shares of Class A and Class B common stock immediately following
the corporate conversion. Motorsport Network is the only holder of shares of our Class B common stock and does not have any transfer,
conversion, registration or economic rights with respect to such shares of Class B common stock. In the event Motorsport Network or its
affiliates relinquish beneficial ownership of any of the MSN Initial Class A Shares at any time, one share of Class B common stock held
by Motorsport Network will be cancelled for each such MSN Initial Class A Share no longer beneficially owned by Motorsport Network or
its affiliates. Any pledge of MSN Initial Class A Shares by Motorsport Network or its affiliates will not constitute a relinquishment
of such beneficial ownership. The MSN Initial Class A Shares and shares of Class B common stock held by Motorsport Network will be adjusted
in equal proportions for any stock dividend, stock split or similar transaction undertaken by the Company.
The
following table sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus, certain information regarding the
beneficial ownership of our common stock by the selling stockholder and the shares of our Class A common stock being offered by the selling
stockholder pursuant to this prospectus. The applicable percentage ownership of common stock
is based on approximately 11,673,587 shares of Class A common stock and 7,000,000 shares of Class B common stock outstanding
as of February 1, 2022. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3
thereunder.
See
the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” in
our definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on April 26, 2021, which is incorporated
by reference into this prospectus, for a description of material relationships between us and the selling stockholder.
The
information in the table is supplied by the selling stockholder. We cannot advise you as to whether the selling stockholder will in fact
sell any or all of such shares of Class A common stock. In addition, the selling stockholder may have sold, transferred or otherwise
disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, the shares of our Class A common stock
in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date on which it provided the information set
forth in the table below.

PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
Primary
Offering
We
may sell the securities from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination
of these methods or through underwriters or dealers, through agents and/or directly to one or more purchasers. The securities may be
distributed from time to time in one or more transactions:
| ● | at
a fixed price or prices, which may be changed; |
| ● | at
market prices prevailing at the time of sale; |
| ● | at
prices related to such prevailing market prices; or |
Each
time that we sell securities covered by us under this prospectus, we will provide a prospectus supplement or supplements that will describe
the method of distribution and set forth the terms and conditions of the offering of such securities, including the offering price of
the securities and the proceeds to us, if applicable.
Offers
to purchase the securities being offered by us under this prospectus may be solicited directly. Agents may also be designated to solicit
offers to purchase the securities offered by us from time to time. Any agent involved in our offer or sale of our securities will be
identified in a prospectus supplement.
If
a dealer is utilized in the sale of the securities being offered by us under this prospectus, the securities will be sold to the dealer,
as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of
resale.
If
an underwriter is utilized in the sale of the securities being offered by us under this prospectus, an underwriting agreement will be
executed with the underwriter at the time of sale and the name of any underwriter will be provided in the prospectus supplement that
the underwriter will use to make resales of the securities to the public. In connection with our sale of the securities, we or the purchasers
of securities for whom the underwriter may act as agent, may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions.
The underwriter may sell the securities to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions
or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for which they may act as agent. Unless otherwise indicated
in a prospectus supplement, an agent will be acting on a best efforts basis and a dealer will purchase securities offered by us as a
principal, and may then resell the securities at varying prices to be determined by the dealer.
Any
compensation paid to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with our offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions
or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. Underwriters,
dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities offered by us may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning
of the Securities Act, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities
offered by us may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. We may enter into agreements to indemnify underwriters, dealers
and agents against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments they may be required
to make in respect thereof and to reimburse those persons for certain expenses.
Any
Class A common stock offered by us would be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, but any other securities offered by us may or may not
be listed on a national securities exchange. To facilitate our offering of securities, certain persons participating in the offering
may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities. This may include over-allotments
or short sales of the securities, which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering of more securities than were sold to
them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market
or by exercising their over-allotment option, if any. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the securities
offered by us by bidding for or purchasing securities in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed
to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if such securities sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization
transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities offered by us at a
level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.
We
may engage in at the market offerings into an existing trading market in accordance with Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act. In
addition, we may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties
in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement so indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the
third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions.
If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related
open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings
of stock. The third party in such sale transactions would be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, would be named
in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, we may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a
financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus and an applicable prospectus
supplement. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or
in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities by us.
The
specific terms of any lock-up provisions in respect of any given offering will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The
underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us, or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business for
which they receive compensation.
Secondary
Offering
The
selling stockholder, including its pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and others who later come to hold some or all of the Class
A common stock being offered by the selling stockholder pursuant to this prospectus, may from time to time offer some or all of the shares
of Class A common stock covered by this prospectus. To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended and supplemented from time
to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.
We
will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholder. The selling stockholder may sell the shares of Class
A common stock covered by this prospectus from time to time, and may also decide not to sell all or any of the shares of Class A common
stock that it is allowed to sell under this prospectus. The selling stockholder will act independently of us in making decisions regarding
the timing, manner and size of each sale. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale,
at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at privately negotiated prices.
Sales may be made by the selling stockholder in one or more types of transactions, which may include:
| ● | purchases
by underwriters, dealers and agents who may receive compensation in the form of underwriting
discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholder and/or the purchasers
of the shares of Class A common stock for whom they may act as agent; |
| ● | one
or more block transactions, including transactions in which the broker or dealer so engaged
will attempt to sell the shares of Class A common stock as agent but may position and resell
a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction, or in crosses, in which
the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade; |
| ● | ordinary
brokerage transactions or transactions in which a broker solicits purchases; |
| ● | purchases
by a broker-dealer or market maker, as principal, and resale by the broker-dealer for its
account; |
| ● | the
pledge of shares of Class A common stock for any loan or obligation, including pledges to
brokers or dealers who may from time to time effect distributions of shares of Class A common
stock; |
| ● | short
sales or transactions to cover short sales relating to the shares of Class A common stock; |
| ● | one
or more exchanges or over-the-counter market transactions; |
| ● | through
distribution by the selling stockholder or its successor in interest to its members, general
or limited partners or shareholders (or their respective members, general or limited partners
or shareholders); |
| ● | privately
negotiated transactions; |
| ● | the
writing of options, whether the options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise; |
| ● | distributions
to creditors and equity holders of the selling stockholder; and |
| ● | any
combination of the foregoing, or any other available means allowable under applicable law. |
The
selling stockholder may also resell all or a portion of its Class A common stock in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144
under the Securities Act, provided it meets the criteria and conforms to the requirements of Rule 144.
The
selling stockholder may enter into sale, forward-sale and derivative transactions with third parties, or may sell securities not covered
by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection
with those sale, forward-sale or derivative transactions, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus or the applicable
prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions and by issuing securities that are not covered by this prospectus, but are
exchangeable for or represent beneficial interests in the Class A common stock. The third parties also may use shares received under
those sale, forward-sale or derivative arrangements or shares pledged by the selling stockholder or borrowed from the selling stockholder
or others to settle such third-party sales or to close out any related open borrowings of Class A common stock. The third parties may
deliver this prospectus in connection with any such transactions. Any third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and
will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this
prospectus is a part).
In
addition, the selling stockholder may engage in hedging transactions with broker-dealers in connection with distributions of Class A
common stock or otherwise. In those transactions, broker-dealers may engage in short sales of securities in the course of hedging the
positions they assume with the selling stockholder. The selling stockholder may also sell securities short and redeliver securities to
close out such short positions. The selling stockholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers which require
the delivery of securities to the broker-dealer. The broker-dealer may then resell or otherwise transfer such securities pursuant to
this prospectus. The selling stockholder also may loan or pledge shares, and the borrower or pledgee may sell or otherwise transfer the
Class A common stock so loaned or pledged pursuant to this prospectus or under Rule 144. Such borrower or pledgee also may transfer those
shares of Class A common stock to investors in our securities or the selling stockholder’s securities or in connection with the
offering of other securities not covered by this prospectus.
To
the extent necessary, we may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. We will
file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, upon being notified by the selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been
entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, offering or a purchase by a broker or dealer. The applicable
prospectus supplement will set forth the specific terms of the offering of securities, including:
| ● | the
name of the selling stockholder and the participating broker-dealer; |
| ● | the
number of shares of Class A common stock offered; |
| ● | the
price of such Class A common stock; |
| ● | the
proceeds to the selling stockholder from the sale of such Class A common stock; |
| ● | the
names of the underwriters or agents, if any; |
| ● | any
underwriting discounts, agency fees or other compensation to underwriters or agents; and |
| ● | any
discounts or concessions allowed or paid to dealers. |
In
connection with sales of Class A common stock covered hereby, the selling stockholder and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent and
any other participating broker-dealer that executes sales for the selling stockholder may be deemed to be an “underwriter”
within the meaning of the Securities Act. Accordingly, any profits realized by the selling stockholder and any compensation earned by
such underwriter, broker-dealer or agent may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. Because the selling stockholder
may be deemed to be an “underwriter” under the Securities Act, the selling stockholder must deliver this prospectus and any
prospectus supplement in the manner required by the Securities Act. This prospectus delivery requirement may be satisfied through the
facilities of the Nasdaq Capital Market in accordance with Rule 153 under the Securities Act.
We
or the selling stockholder may agree to indemnify any underwriters, broker-dealers and agents against or contribute to any payments the
underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be required to make with respect to, civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act. Underwriters, broker-dealers and agents and their affiliates are permitted to be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform
services for us and our affiliates or the selling stockholder or its affiliates in the ordinary course of business.
The
selling stockholder will be subject to applicable provisions of Regulation M of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder,
which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Class A common stock by the selling stockholder. Regulation
M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Class A common stock to engage in market-making activities
with respect to the Class A common stock. These restrictions may affect the marketability of such Class A common stock.
In
order to comply with applicable securities laws of some states, the Class A common stock may be sold in those jurisdictions only through
registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the Class A common stock may not be sold unless they have been
registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirements is available.
In addition, any Class A common stock of the selling stockholder covered by this prospectus that qualifies for sale pursuant to Rule
144 under the Securities Act may be sold in open market transactions under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
To
the extent required, this prospectus may be amended and/or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.

validity of the securities being offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Snell & Wilmer L.L.P., Los Angeles, California. Additional
