PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

(To Prospectus Dated July 13, 2021)

 

 

KULR Technology Group, Inc.

 

Up to $50,000,000 of Common Stock

 

 

KULR Technology Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement with YA II PN, Ltd. (“Yorkville”) on May 13, 2022 (the “SEPA”). Pursuant to the SEPA, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Yorkville up to $50,000,000 of its shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus at the Company’s request any time during the commitment period commencing on May 13, 2022 and terminating on the earliest of (i) the first day of the month following the 24-month anniversary of the SEPA and (ii) the date on which Yorkville shall have made payment of any advances requested pursuant to the SEPA for shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the commitment amount of $50,000,000 (the “Commitment Period”). Each sale the Company requests under the SEPA (an “Advance Notice”) may be for a number of shares of common stock with an aggregate value of up to $5,000,000. The shares would be purchased at 98.0% of the Market Price (as defined below) and would be subject to certain limitations, including that Yorkville could not purchase any shares that would result in it owning more than 19.9% of our common stock. “Market Price” is defined in the SEPA as the average of the VWAPs (as defined below) during each of the three consecutive trading days commencing on the trading day following the Company’s submission of an Advance Notice to Yorkville. “VWAP” is defined in the SEPA to mean, for any trading day, the daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for such date on the NYSE American as reported by Bloomberg L.P. during regular trading hours.

 

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus also cover the sale of these shares by Yorkville to the public. Though we have been advised by Yorkville, and Yorkville represents in the SEPA, that Yorkville is purchasing the shares for its own account, for investment purposes in which it takes investment risk (including, without limitation, the risk of loss), and without any view or intention to distribute such shares in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any other applicable securities laws, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) may take the position that Yorkville may be deemed an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act and any profits on the sales of shares of our common stock by Yorkville and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by Yorkville are deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. For additional information on the methods of sale that may be used by Yorkville, see the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” on page S-5.

 

Our common stock trades on the NYSE American Market (“NYSE”) under the symbol “KULR.” On May 12, 2022, the last sale price of our common stock as reported on NYSE was $1.22 per share.

 

Investing in our common stock involves risks. Please read “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-3 of this prospectus supplement.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

The date of this prospectus supplement is May 16, 2022

 

 

 

Neither we nor Yorkville have authorized anyone to provide you with any information other than the information contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, and in the documents incorporated by reference herein. We and Yorkville take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you.

Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, them. Because such statements are based on expectations as to future financial and operating results and are not statements of fact, actual results may differ materially from those projected. Factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to:

 

  changes adversely affecting the business in which we are engaged;

 

  our ability to forecast trends accurately; our ability to generate cash, service indebtedness and incur additional indebtedness;

 

  our ability to raise financing in the future;

 

  our ability to develop efficient manufacturing processes to scale and to forecast related costs and efficiencies accurately;

 

  fluctuations in our revenue and operating results;

 

  competition from existing or new competitors;

 

  the failure to convert firm order backlog to revenue;

 

  risks associated with security breaches in our information technology systems;

  risks resulting from the impact of global pandemics, including the novel coronavirus, Covid-19;

 

  risks related to adverse changes in general economic conditions;

 

  other factors detailed under the section entitled “Risk Factors” herein; and

 

  other risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and our subsequent filings with the SEC, that we incorporate by reference herein.

 

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, they could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made.

Overview

 

KULR Technology Group, Inc., through our wholly-owned subsidiary KULR Technology Corporation, develops and commercializes high-performance thermal management technologies for batteries, electronics, and other components across an array of battery-powered applications. For aerospace and Department of Defense (“DOD”) applications, our solutions target high performance applications in direct energy, hypersonic vehicles and satellite communications. For commercial applications, our main focus is a total solution to battery safety and sustainability by which we aim to mitigate the effects of thermal runaway propagation which has been known to cause random fires in lithium-ion (“Li-ion”) batteries. This total battery safety solution can be used for electric vehicles, energy storage, battery recycling transportation, cloud computing and 5G communication devices. Our proprietary core technology is a carbon fiber material that provides what we believe to be superior thermal conductivity and heat dissipation for an ultra-lightweight and pliable material. By leveraging our proprietary cooling solutions that have been developed through longstanding partnerships with advanced technology users like NASA, the Jet Propulsion Lab and others, our products and services make commercial battery powered products safer and electronics systems cooler and lighter.

 

KULR’s business model continues to evolve from being a component supplier, to providing more design and testing services to our customers. The next step of evolution is to provide total system solutions to address market needs. In order to scale up as a systems provider more quickly and efficiently in (i) the Li-ion battery energy storage and recycling markets, (ii) battery cell design and safety testing, and (iii) advanced thermal management systems, such as hypersonic vehicles, KULR will actively seek partners for joint venture, technology licensing and other strategic partnership models. The goal is to leverage the Company’s thermal design technology expertise to create market leading products, which KULR will take to market directly to capture more value for KULR shareholders.

 

During Q1’22, we experienced significant impact to our business due to the COVID-19 lockdown in China. We had over $325,000 worth of inventory that we had built that could have been recognized as revenue in the first quarter but ended up not being shipped due to the COVID-19 lockdown. We are happy to report that these products have been shipped to the customer when the lockdown eased a bit. Much of the COVID-related challenges have meant delays in product shipment, not cancellations, so as restrictions ease in the coming months, we expect to make up for lost time and revenue as we move through our sizeable inventory.

 

As a core part of our growth strategy aimed at providing total system solutions that address market needs, KULR has secured a financing facility allowing us access to $55M in additional capital for procuring battery cell supplies and other key materials, as well as securing supply chain and manufacturing capacities in North America. The Company is working to secure inventory allocations in anticipation of ongoing demand from its key end markets. In total, KULR expects to procure lithium-ion battery cells providing up to 500-megawatt hours (“MWh”) of energy capacity, enough to power approximately 40,000 homes using currently available domestic energy storage options. Within applications for the energy storage and e-mobility markets, the battery cell supplies would equate to our estimation of revenue opportunity of $250-$350 million, although no assurances can be made of our actual acquisition of cells providing such opportunities or that those opportunities will provide such revenues. To further control supply chain and manufacturing costs and risks, the Company also intends to use these funds to bring much of its production capabilities to North America.

 

We have not yet achieved profitability and expect to continue to incur cash outflows from operations, as a result, we will eventually need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability. Until that time, we shall have to continue to raise cash, as and when required, through equity or debt financings.

 

Recent Developments

 

COVID-19

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19, a novel strain coronavirus, a pandemic. During 2020 and continuing into 2022, the global economy has been, and continues to be, affected by COVID-19. While the Company continues to see signs of economic recovery as certain governments begin to gradually ease restrictions, provide economic stimulus and accelerate vaccine distribution, the rate of recovery on a global basis has been affected by resurgence of the virus or its variants in certain jurisdictions. Although recent cases and deaths from the COVID-19 pandemic have generally declined in the United States, spread of COVID-19 in China recently resulted in a temporary lockdown covering all of Shanghai, China where our manufacturing partner has its headquarter. During this period, we saw significant inventory buildup in China and we were unable to recognize over $325,000 in revenue in the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022, which inventory buildup was cause by delays in shipment to customers that could not be completed during the COVID-19 lockdown in China. We are now taking active steps to direct our production and supply chain activities to North America to geographically diversify and potentially reduce further COVID-19 impacts.

 

The full extent of the future impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations and financial condition is uncertain. Accordingly, COVID-19 could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects during 2022 and beyond, including the demand for its products, interruptions to supply chains, ability to maintain regular research and development and manufacturing schedules, as well as the capability to meet customer demands in a timely manner. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Corporate Information

 

 

KULR was incorporated in the State of Delaware in December 2015 and was formerly known as “KT High-Tech Marketing, Inc.” and, prior to that, as “Grant Hill Acquisition Corporation.” In April 2016, KULR implemented a change of control by issuing shares to new shareholders, redeeming shares of existing shareholders, electing new officers and directors and accepting the resignations of its then existing officers and directors.Our wholly-owned subsidiary, KULR Technology Corp, was formed in 2013 and is based in San Diego California. Since its inception, KTC primarily focused on developing and commercializing its thermal management technologies, which it acquired through assignment from and license with KTC’s co-founder Dr. Timothy Knowles. Prior to 2013, KTC’s technologies were used in numerous advanced space and industrial applications for NASA, Boeing, and Raytheon. A few notable achievements were the use of KTC’s technologies in the X-31 aircraft (battery heat sink), Mercury Messenger (battery heat sink), and X-51 Scramjet (heat exchanger).

Before you invest in our common stock, you should carefully consider all of the risk factors incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, including the risk factors set forth in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K. You should also carefully consider all of the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement. The occurrence of any of these risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, cash flows, results of operations, prospects, and our ability to implement our investment strategy and to make or sustain distributions to our stockholders, which could result in a partial or complete loss of your investment in our common stock. Some statements in this prospectus supplement constitute forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

Risks Related to this Offering

 

The issuance and sale of our common stock under the SEPA will result in dilution to our stockholders and any future sales of our common stock may depress our stock price.

 

If we elect to draw down amounts under the SEPA, which will result in the sale of shares of our common stock to Yorkville, any such draw-downs may have a dilutive impact on our existing shareholders. Though we have been advised by Yorkville, and Yorkville represents in the SEPA, that Yorkville is purchasing the shares for its own account, for investment purposes, and without any view or intention to distribute such shares in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws, Yorkville may resell some or all of the shares we issue to it pursuant to draw-downs under the SEPA and such sales could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

 

S-3

 

 

Use of Proceeds

 

The amount of proceeds from this offering will depend upon the number of shares of our common stock sold and the price at which they are sold. There can be no assurance that we will be able to sell any shares under or fully utilize the SEPA as a source of financing. We intend to use the net proceeds, if any, from this offering for working capital, to fund our capital funding commitments and for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, procuring battery cell supplies, as well as other key materials, and bringing part of our production capabilities to North America.

 

As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds we will have upon completion of this offering. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion in the application of net proceeds, if any.

 

This prospectus also relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by Yorkville. All of the common stock offered by Yorkville pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by Yorkville for its own account. We will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales.

 

Pending the uses described above, we plan to invest the net proceeds from this offering in cash or cash equivalents.

 

S-4

 

 

Plan of Distribution

 

On May 16, 2022, the Company entered into the SEPA with Yorkville. Pursuant to the SEPA, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Yorkville up to $50,000,000 of its shares of common stock upon the Company’s written request during the twenty-four months following execution of the SEPA (the “Commitment Period”). At any time during the Commitment Period, the Company may require Yorkville to purchase shares of its common stock by delivering an Advance Notice that the Company desires to issue and sell to Yorkville a number of shares of common stock with an aggregate value of up to $5,000,000. The shares would be purchased pursuant to the SEPA at 98.0% of the Market Price and would be subject to certain limitations, including that Yorkville could not purchase any shares that would result in it owning more than 4.99% of our common stock.

 

Delivery of the shares against payment therefor in respect of each Advance Notice shall be settled promptly following each sale pursuant to the SEPA. In connection with any Advance Notice, if any portion of an advance would cause Yorkville’s beneficial ownership of our then outstanding common stock to exceed 19.9%, then such portion shall automatically be deemed to be withdrawn by us (with no further action required by us) and modified to reduce the amount of the advance requested by an amount equal to such withdrawn portion. We may terminate the SEPA upon five trading days of prior notice to Yorkville, provided that there are no Advance Notices outstanding and we have paid to Yorkville all amounts then due.

 

In addition to the issuance of our common stock to Yorkville pursuant to the SEPA, this prospectus supplement also covers the resale of those shares from time to time by Yorkville to the public. Though we have been advised by Yorkville, and Yorkville represents in the SEPA, that Yorkville is purchasing the shares for its own account, for investment purposes in which it takes investment risk (including, without limitation, the risk of loss), and without any view or intention to distribute such shares in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws, the SEC may take the position that Yorkville may be deemed an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. We have agreed in the SEPA to provide customary indemnification to Yorkville. It is possible that our shares may be sold by Yorkville in one or more of the following manners:

 

  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;

 

  a block trade in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

  to a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; or

 

  a combination of any such methods of sale.

 

Yorkville has agreed that, during the term of the SEPA, neither Yorkville nor its affiliates will engage in any short sales or hedging transactions with respect to our common stock, provided that upon receipt of an advance notice, Yorkville may sell shares that it is obligated to purchase under such advance notice prior to taking possession of such shares.

 

Yorkville will be subject to liability under the federal securities laws and must comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act, including without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M under the Exchange Act. These rules and regulations may limit the timing of purchases and sales of our common stock by Yorkville. Under these rules and regulations, Yorkville:

 

  may not engage in any stabilization activity in connection with our securities;

 

  must furnish each broker which offers shares of our common stock covered by the prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus that are a part of our registration statement with the number of copies of such prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus which are required by each broker; and

 

  may not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the Exchange Act.

 

These restrictions may affect the marketability of the shares by Yorkville.

ABOUT KULR

 

Overview

 

KULR Technology Group, Inc., through our wholly-owned subsidiary KULR Technology Corporation, develops and commercializes high-performance thermal management technologies for batteries, electronics, and other components across an array of battery-powered applications. For aerospace and Department of Defense (“DOD”) applications, our solutions target high performance applications in direct energy, hypersonic vehicles and satellite communications. For commercial applications, our main focus is a total solution to battery safety and sustainability by which we aim to mitigate the effects of thermal runaway propagation which has been known to cause random fires in lithium-ion (“Li-ion”) batteries. This total battery safety solution can be used for electric vehicles, energy storage, battery recycling transportation, cloud computing and 5G communication devices. Our proprietary core technology is a carbon fiber material that provides what we believe to be superior thermal conductivity and heat dissipation for an ultra-lightweight and pliable material. By leveraging our proprietary cooling solutions that have been developed through longstanding partnerships with advanced technology users like NASA, the Jet Propulsion Lab and others, our products and services make commercial battery powered products safer and electronics systems cooler and lighter.

 

KULR’s business model continues to evolve from being a component supplier, to providing more design and testing services to our customers. The next step of evolution is to provide total system solutions to address market needs. In order to scale up as a systems provider more quickly and efficiently in (i) the Li-ion battery energy storage and recycling markets, (ii) battery cell design and safety testing, and (iii) advanced thermal management systems, such as hypersonic vehicles, KULR will actively seek partners for joint venture, technology licensing and other strategic partnership models. The goal is to leverage the Company’s thermal design technology expertise to create market leading products, which KULR will take to market directly to capture more value for KULR shareholders.

 

Battery safety technology is becoming increasingly vital to our world in which battery-operated devices are everywhere. Li-ion batteries are widely used in consumer electronics, aerospace, marine and automotive applications. In recent months, KULR has developed a total battery safety solution for its customers that spans a wide array of industries and applications. KULR has seen great success in using our patented thermal runaway shield (“TRS”) technology to prevent cell to cell thermal runaway propagation as well as module to module propagation. We have designed a total solution for customers from the design stages incorporating our materials all the way to testing their passive propagation resistant (“PPR”) battery packs. We are flexible and can work with different battery pack configurations across various industries. We developed a PPR reference design for CubeSat battery in December 2019. Based on this reference design platform, we were awarded a dual-use technology development agreement from NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center to build 3D printed battery systems for manned and robotic space applications in August 2020. Our research and testing, as well as working alongside battery experts at NASA Johnson Space Center, has positioned us for further advancements at the forefront of battery safety.

 

Hundreds of millions of Li-ion cells are produced and transported annually and even those packaged to prevent external shorting can still experience thermal runaway (“TR”) due to internal shorts, caused by latent defects, when fully charged. In these dangerous cases, a torch-like fire is released as energy escapes from the cell and sends nearby cells into TR resulting in a large fire. As part of our total battery safety solution, we have designed a bag out of our TRS material to suppress the flames and prevent the TR event. Suitably placed, the TRS provides a means of protection not only from adjacent batteries but also outside fires of arbitrary origin. Experts at NASA’s Propulsion & Power Division found our TRS successful at extinguishing the fire generated by cells when they intentionally triggered the batteries into dangerous failures. Our TRS bag is currently being used on the International Space Station (“ISS”) through a project with Leidos, for storing laptop batteries in order to reduce the risk of TR. 

 

Another key element of our battery safety solution is KULR internal short circuit (“ISC”) device and trigger cells which are used for cell testing and screening. Our patented ISC device, licensed from NASA/NREL, can be inserted by OEMs or manufacturers into cells to mimic failure conditions in a cell. Once the trigger device is placed inside the cell, it can be intentionally triggered on demand causing the cell to short circuit. Currently, we provide ISC devices to OEMs and cell manufacturers, as well as ready-made ISC trigger cells to customers to identify failure modes and safety issues within their systems. Currently we are creating an ecosystem based on our technology which can be applied to different battery architectures and chemistries.

 

Our management believes that within commercial markets, aerospace and defense, and high-value applications, cell safety testing and screening has become a topic of focus. Therefore, we plan to expand our capabilities to include full battery analysis and testing as outlined by NASA Johnson Space Center. We plan to fully incorporate this into our holistic approach to battery safety along with our PPR battery pack design and testing services, ISC device and trigger cell products and TRS bags. With increasing regulations and pressure from government bodies to mitigate the dangers of battery fires and TR, we plan to further develop our capabilities in this arena.

 

Our management expects high growth in the aerospace and defense sectors, specifically in regards to hypersonic vehicle programs, space missions and directed energy programs. Thermal management is a critical component of both hypersonic weapons programs and space missions. Our carbon fiber solutions are used for thermal management in missile defense programs and are particularly effective because of their survivability at very high temperatures. They are also very effective at transferring heat and mitigate the risk of overheating in such high-risk environments. Historically we have provided value to this sector and we expect to further develop our relationships with the Airforce Research Lab, the Naval Research Lab and prime contractors to market our solutions. Directed energy is currently in the spotlight as experts predict it will greatly impact the future of national security. Our CRUX cathode generates powerful electron pulses by field emission from the tops of our carbon fiber coating and has the potential to further develop the current technology.

In addition to evolving demands led by aerospace and defense, we have observed trending manufacturer-led opportunities in industries such as electric motor vehicles (“EV”) that have become increasingly more reliant on the Cloud, portability and high-demand processing power. KULR’s high performance thermal interface materials can be used to accelerate 5G communications development due to our material’s core properties: high thermal conductivity, light weight, and low contact pressure. 5G is one of the biggest opportunities going forward for transportation technology and we plan to take part in testing of digital and RF tests for 5G. Testing is still in early phases for both digital and RF communication chips, however, we are seeing a big growth opportunity for thermal management for 5G. Cloud computing is also an application of interest since high power communications chips and optical communication modules require cooling.

 

We have not yet achieved profitability and expect to continue to incur cash outflows from operations, as a result, we will eventually need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability. Until that time we shall have to continue to raise cash as and when required through the sale of stock.

Product and Services

 

Our heat management products and services can be divided into the following categories, subcategories and functionalities:

 

Lithium-Ion Battery Thermal Runaway Shield (“TRS”): KULR has developed a thermal insulation technology aimed at passive resistance to thermal runaway propagation in Li-ion batteries in partnership with National Aeronautics and Space Administration Johnson Space Center (“NASA JSC”). HYDRA TRS acts as a heat sink during normal Li-ion battery pack operation but also prevents thermal runaway propagation, which is a serious concern for aerospace and defense customers and electric vehicle manufacturers. The HYDRA is a vaporizing thermal capacitor that provides passive prevention of thermal runaway propagation (“TRP”) in Li-ion battery packs. Thermal runaway can occur spontaneously in a Li-ion cell due to a short. This can trigger an explosive release of electric energy that ruptures the end cap resulting in a flare and combustion of cell materials. Released heat drives the triggered cell temperatures to > 500°C, causing a dramatic increase in neighboring cell temperatures. Temperatures above the critical 130°C greatly increases the chance for a short in adjacent cells and result in TRP. TRS keeps neighboring cell temperatures from rising above 100°C (well below the 130°C threshold) and prevents TRP.

 

Fiber Thermal Interface Material (“FTI”): KULR thermal interface materials (“TIMs”) consist of vertically oriented carbon fiber velvets attached to a film of polymer or metal. The fiber packing density and orientation are selected to serve a wide range of applications, including hostile thermal and chemical environments, sliding interfaces, and interfaces with widely varying gaps. They can be coated for electrical isolation. They require low contact pressure and provide high thermal conductivity. Their light weight and high compliance make them uniquely suited for aerospace, industrial and high-performance commercial devices.

 

Phase Change Material (“PCM”) Heat Sink: KULR PCM composite heat sinks consisting of a conductive carbon fiber velvet embedded with a suitable alkane (“paraffin”) having high latent heat at its melting point. Such heat sinks offer passive thermal control for instruments that would otherwise overheat or under-cool during periodic operations. A typical application involves lasers that dissipate heat but need tight thermal control where active cooling is unavailable.

HYDRA TRS Battery Storage Bag: KULR developed the HYDRA TRS Bag to safely store and transport Li-ion batteries in partnership with NASA Johnson Space Center for the International Space Stations. Between January and June 2019 experts with NASA’s Propulsion & Power Division tested storage and use of rechargeable lithium-ion laptop batteries. The tests intentionally triggered the batteries into dangerous failures in order to study what storage methods may stop battery fires from spreading battery to battery in thermal runaway propagation. As a result, KULR TRS bags are currently in service on the International Space Station for storage of spare laptop batteries, having flown November 2, 2019 on the CRS2 NG-12 resupply mission. KULR is developing a commercial version for mass market applications.

 

Internal Short Circuit (“ISC”) Device: In March 2018, KULR reached an agreement with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (“NREL”), a national laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy, to be the exclusive manufacturing and distribution partner for the patented ISC device, which causes predictable battery cell failures in Li-ion batteries, making them easier to study and, therefore, safer. Li-ion batteries are the industry and consumer standard for portable power; billions of individual battery cells exist and billions more are planned for production. They provide power for everything from smart phones and laptops to electric cars and space crafts. But Li-ion batteries fail, sometimes with catastrophic results. Due to the relative rarity of cell failures, scientists and researchers had been unable to reliably or accurately replicate latent defect cell failures in lab settings, impeding research into safer battery technology. In 2020, KULR has produced and sold both ISC devices and ISC trigger cells to customers.

 

CRUX Cathode: The CRUX Cathode is composed of a carbon fiber velvet, providing a means of generating powerful electron pulses by field emission from the tops of the carbon fibers. CRUX Cathodes can be customized for different applications including the generation of microwaves, x-rays, and laser radiation. They can be fabricated in a wide variety of physical configurations, ranging from simple planar and cylindrical forms to more complex lobed shapes.

Any underwriters that we use in the sale of offered securities may make a market in such securities, but may discontinue such market making at any time without notice. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the securities will have a liquid trading market. 

Any underwriter may also engage in stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Rule 104 under the Securities Exchange Act. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security in the open market for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions.

 

Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be in the absence of the transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these transactions, discontinue them at any time.
