1,118,574 Shares of Common Stock
Offered by the Selling Stockholders
________________________
This prospectus relates to the resale, from time to time, of up to 1,118,574 shares (the “Shares”) of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), by the selling stockholders identified in this prospectus under the section “Selling Stockholders” (the “Offering”). The Shares covered by this prospectus were issued pursuant to a securities purchase agreement the Company entered into and closed on with the Selling Stockholders on June 28, 2022 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), and consist of: (i) up to 1,062,324 shares of our common stock that are issuable upon conversion of convertible promissory notes in the original principal amount of $7,500,000 (the “Convertible Notes”), and (ii) 56,250 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Warrants”). We are not selling any shares of our Common Stock under this prospectus and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders. We will, however, receive proceeds from any warrants that are exercised through the payment of the exercise price in cash. The Selling Stockholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to the sale of the Shares. We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the Shares.
Sales of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders may occur at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may sell Shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Stockholders, the purchasers of the Shares, or both. If required, the number of Shares to be sold, the public offering price of those Shares, the names of any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents and any applicable commission or discount will be included in a supplement to this prospectus, called a prospectus supplement. See the disclosure under the heading “Plan of Distribution” elsewhere in this prospectus for more information about how the Selling Stockholders may sell or otherwise dispose of their Shares hereunder.
You should read this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus carefully, as well as any documents incorporated by reference, before you invest in any of the securities being offered.
Our shares of Common Stock are listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “UPXI.” The last reported sale price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on September 20, 2022 was $3.98 per share. We recommend that you obtain current market quotations for our common stock prior to making an investment decision.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy, prospective products, product approvals, research and development costs, timing and likelihood of success, plans and objectives of management for future operations and future results of anticipated products, are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the evolving and highly competitive markets in which we operate; industry trends in the markets in which we compete, including the demand for and marketability of our products; our ability to raise additional capital to finance our activities; the future trading of our common stock; our ability to operate as a public company; our ability to protect our proprietary information; the evolution of legal and regulatory developments in the United States and foreign countries impacting the industries in which we operate; general economic and business conditions; the volatility of our operating results and financial condition; our ability to attract or retain qualified senior management personnel; and other risks detailed from time to time in our filings with the SEC, or otherwise. This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein also contain estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other data about our industry. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the markets in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which we discuss in greater detail in the documents incorporated by reference herein, including under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties. Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as supplemented and updated by subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K that we have filed or will file with the SEC, and in other documents which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as well as the risk factors and other information contained in or incorporated by reference into any accompanying prospectus supplement before investing in our securities. Our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects could be materially and adversely affected by any or all of these risks or by additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial that may adversely affect us in the future.
There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2021.
For more information about our SEC filings, please see “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference.”
All proceeds from the resale of the Shares offered by this prospectus will belong to the Selling Stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders.
We will receive proceeds from any cash exercise of the Warrants. If all Warrants are fully exercised on a cash basis, we will receive gross cash proceeds of approximately $4.44 per Warrant exercised, subject to customary adjustment upon certain events as set forth in the Warrants. We expect to use the proceeds from the exercise of such Warrants, if any, for general corporate purposes. General corporate purposes may include providing working capital, funding capital expenditures, or paying for acquisitions. We currently do not have any arrangements or agreements for any acquisitions. We cannot precisely estimate the allocation of the net proceeds from any exercise of the Warrants for cash. Accordingly, in the event the Warrants are exercised for cash, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds of such exercises. There is no assurance that the Warrants will ever be exercised for cash.
PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF NOTES AND WARRANTS
On June 28, 2022, the Company entered into and held a closing under the Securities Purchase Agreement, with the two Selling Stockholders, each of which is an accredited investor. At the closing the Company received $7,500,000, less original issue discount fees and costs, from the Selling Stockholders in consideration for the issuance by the Company to the Selling Stockholders of the Convertible Notes in the original principal amount of $7,500,000. In addition to the Convertible Notes, the Selling Stockholders received Warrants to acquire an aggregate of 56,250 shares of Common Stock. The Warrants are exercisable for five years at an exercise price of $4.44 per share, provide for customary anti-dilution protection, and an investor put right to require the Company to redeem the Warrants for a total of $250,000. The Company has the option until June 28, 2023, to draw down up to an additional $7,500,000 of Convertible Notes under the Securities Purchase Agreement to provide financing for acquisitions, pursuant to certain underwriting conditions and other conditions set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company is subject to customary covenants, financial and otherwise, under the Securities Purchase Agreement.
The Convertible Notes, have a three-year term, an original interest discount of 2% withheld on the issuance date, and bear cash interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum with an additional paid-in-kind (“PIK”) interest of 3.5% per annum. The Convertible Notes provide for monthly payments of principal, on an even line 36-month basis, plus cash interest, with a balloon payment of all outstanding principal, cash interest, and PIK interest at maturity. The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $7.06 per share. The Convertible Notes contain customary events of default and anti-dilution provisions.
The Selling Stockholders agreed to restrict their ability to convert their Convertible Notes and exercise the Warrants and receive shares of Common Stock such that the number of shares of Common Stock held by each Selling Stockholder after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, subject to the right to increase said limit to 9.99% upon 61 days’ prior written notice to the Company.
The Convertible Notes are secured by a first priority lien on all assets of the Company and its significant subsidiaries, and by the unconditional guaranty of said subsidiaries.
Pursuant to the terms of a registration rights agreement entered into concurrently with the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), the Company agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or other appropriate form) providing for the resale by the Selling Stockholders of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Convertible Notes and the Warrants within 45 days of the closing date.

Table of Contents |
The offer, sale and issuance of the Convertible Notes and the Warrants pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement was made in reliance upon the exemptions contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
Any representations and warranties contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Convertible Notes, the Warrants, and the other agreements executed in connection therewith, were made by the parties to, and solely for the benefit of, the other in the context of all of the terms and conditions thereof and in the context of the specific relationship between the parties, and are not intended for investors and the public to obtain factual information about the current state of affairs of the parties.
The foregoing information is only a brief description of the material terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Convertible Notes, the Warrants, and the Registration Rights Agreement and does not purpose to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and, as such, is qualified by reference to the full text of the forms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Convertible Notes, the Warrants, and the Registration Rights Agreement, the forms of which are attached as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.5, respectively, to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 1, 2022, and are incorporated herein by reference.
The Common Stock being offered by the Selling Stockholders are those issuable to the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes and upon exercise of the Warrants. For additional information regarding the issuances of the Convertible Notes and Warrants, see “Private Placement of Notes and Warrants” above. We are registering the shares of Common Stock in order to permit the Selling Stockholders to offer the Shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the Convertible Notes and the Warrants, the Selling Stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.
The table below lists the Selling Stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of our shares of Common Stock held by each of the Selling Stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each Selling Stockholder, based on its ownership of the Convertible Notes and Warrants, as of September 20, 2022, assuming the conversion of the Convertible Notes and the Exercise of the Warrants held by the Selling Stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises. The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders.
In accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement with the Selling Stockholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Convertible Notes and Warrants, determined as if the Convertible Notes and the Warrants were converted or exercised, as applicable, in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC, without regard to any limitations on conversion or exercise, as applicable, in the Convertible Notes and Warrants. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.
Under the terms of the Convertible Notes and the Warrants, a Selling Stockholder may not be issued shares under the Convertible Notes or the Warrants to the extent such issuance would cause such Selling Stockholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock which would exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding Common Stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the second column does not reflect this limitation. The Selling Stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this Offering. See “Plan of Distribution”.

Each Selling Stockholder of the Shares and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their Shares covered hereby on The Nasdaq Capital Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the Shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling Shares:
| · | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
|
|
|
| · | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the Shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
|
|
|
| · | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
|
|
|
| · | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
|
|
|
| · | privately negotiated transactions; |
|
|
|
| · | settlement of short sales; |
|
|
|
| · | in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such Shares at a stipulated price per Share; |
|
|
|
| · | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
|
|
|
| · | a combination of any such methods of sale; or |
|
|
|
| · | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The Selling Stockholders may also sell Shares under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the Shares or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these Shares to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the Shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these Shares. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of Shares offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
Any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the Shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the Shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Shares.
The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the Shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the Shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale Shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale Shares covered hereby 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 requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale Shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Common Stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
