PROSPECTUS

 

 

LA ROSA HOLDINGS CORP.

 

[●] Shares of Common Stock and

 

Pre-Funded Warrants to Purchase [] Shares of Common Stock

 

We are offering up to [●] shares of common stock, including shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants that we may issue as described below, at a purchase price of $[●] per share of common stock pursuant to this prospectus.

 

We are also offering to certain purchasers whose purchase of shares of common stock in this offering would otherwise result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding common stock immediately following the consummation of this offering, the opportunity to purchase, if any such purchaser so chooses, Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu of shares of common stock. The offering price for each Pre-Funded Warrant is $[●], which is equal to the public offering price per share of common stock in this offering less $0.0001, the exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable (subject to the beneficial ownership cap) and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. For each Pre-Funded Warrant we sell (without regard to any limitation on exercise set forth therein), the number of shares of our commons stock we are offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis. See “Description of Securities.

 

We are also registering the shares of our common stock issuable from time to time upon the exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants offered hereby. We refer to shares of our common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants, collectively as the “Securities.”

 

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “LRHC.” On May 6, 2024, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market was $1.66 per share.

 

There is no established public trading market for the Pre-Funded Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply for the listing of the Pre-Funded Warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system. Without an active trading market, we expect the liquidity of the Pre-Funded Warrants will be limited.

 

We are a “controlled company” as defined under the corporate governance rules of Nasdaq because our founder, Mr. Joseph La Rosa, as of May 7, 2024, controls 74% of the total voting power based on his ownership of common stock and the 20,000,000 votes provided by his Series X Super Voting Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, (the “Series X Preferred Stock”) that votes with the common stock, with respect to director elections and other matters. As a “controlled company,” as defined under the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules, we are permitted to elect to rely on certain exemptions from Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules. We do not plan to rely on these exemptions, but we may elect to do so in the future. Please read “Prospectus Summary—Implications of Being a Controlled Company” for more information.

 

 

 

 

 

We are an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company” as defined under the federal securities laws and, as such, we have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus and may elect to do so in future filings. See “Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company.”

 

You should read this prospectus carefully, together with additional information described under the headings “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference” and “Where You Can Find More Information” before you invest in shares of our common stock.

 

 

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 11 of this prospectus, and under similar headings in the other documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, for a discussion of information that should be considered in connection with an investment in our securities.

 

Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

In making a decision about whether to invest in our securities, you should not rely upon any information other than the information contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus or in any free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be delivered or made available to you. Neither the delivery of this prospectus nor the sale of our securities means that the information contained in this prospectus or any free writing prospectus is correct after the date of this prospectus or such free writing prospectus. This prospectus is not an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy our securities in any circumstances under which the offer or solicitation is unlawful.

 

For investors outside the United States: We have not, and the underwriters have not, taken any action that would permit this offering or possession or distribution of this prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required, other than in the United States. Persons outside the United States who come into possession of this prospectus must inform themselves about, and observe any restrictions relating to, the offering of the securities covered hereby and the distribution of this prospectus outside the United States.

 

Unless otherwise indicated, information contained in this prospectus concerning our industry and the markets in which we operate, including our general expectations and market position, market opportunity and market share, is based on information from our own management estimates and research, as well as from industry and general publications and research, surveys and studies conducted by third parties. Management estimates are derived from publicly available information, our knowledge of our industry and assumptions based on such information and knowledge, which we believe to be reasonable. Our management estimates have not been verified by any independent source, and we have not independently verified any third-party information. In addition, assumptions and estimates of our and our industry’s future performance are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in “Risk Factors.” These and other factors could cause our future performance to differ materially from our assumptions and estimates. See “See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

We further note that the representations, warranties and covenants made by us in any agreement that is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part were made solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, including, in some cases, for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to such agreements, and should not be deemed to be a representation, warranty or covenant to you.

Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since such date.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, and other written and oral statements we make from time to time contain certain “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). You can identify these forward-looking statements by the fact they use words such as “could,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “target,” “may,” “project,” “guidance,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “will,” “potential,” “opportunity,” “future,” and other words and terms of similar meaning and expression in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. You can also identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including factors that could delay, divert, or change any of them, and could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from current expectations. These statements are likely to relate to, among other things, our business strategy, our research and development, our product development efforts, our ability to commercialize our product candidates, the activities of our licensees, our prospects for initiating partnerships or collaborations, the timing of the introduction of products, the effect of new accounting pronouncements, uncertainty regarding our future operating results and our profitability, anticipated sources of funds as well as our plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions.

 

We have included more detailed descriptions of these risks and uncertainties and other risks and uncertainties applicable to our business that we believe could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement in the “Risk Factors” sections of this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein including, but not limited to, the risk factors incorporated by reference from our filings with the SEC. We encourage you to read those descriptions carefully. Although we believe we have been prudent in our plans and assumptions, no assurance can be given that any goal or plan set forth in forward-looking statements can be achieved. We caution investors not to place significant reliance on forward-looking statements; such statements need to be evaluated in light of all the information contained and incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Furthermore, the statements speak only as of the date of each document, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise these statements.

 

INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA

 

This prospectus includes industry data and forecasts that we obtained from industry publications and surveys, as well as public filings and internal company sources. Industry publications, surveys and forecasts generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but there can be no assurance as to the accuracy or completeness of the included information. Statements as to our ranking, market position and market estimates are based on third-party forecasts, management’s estimates and assumptions about our markets and our internal research. We have not independently verified such third-party information, nor have we ascertained the underlying economic assumptions relied upon in those sources, and we cannot assure you of the accuracy or completeness of such information contained in this prospectus. Such data involve risks and uncertainties and is subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before deciding whether to invest in our securities. You should carefully read the entire prospectus, including the risks associated with an investment in our company discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus, before making an investment decision. Some of the statements in this prospectus are forward-looking statements. See the section titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

In this prospectus, “La Rosa Holdings,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and similar references refer to La Rosa Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries.

 

Overview

 

We are the holding company for five agent-centric, technology-integrated, cloud-based, multi-service real estate segments. Our primary business, La Rosa Realty, LLC, has been listed in the “Top 75 Residential Real Estate Firms in the United States” from 2016 through 2020 by the National Association of Realtors, the leading real estate industry trade association in the United States.

 

In addition to providing person-to-person residential and commercial real estate brokerage services to the public, we cross sell ancillary technology-based products and services primarily to our sales agents and the sales agents associated with our franchisees. Our business is organized based on the services we provide internally to our agents and to the public, which are residential and commercial real estate brokerage, franchising, real estate brokerage education and coaching, and property management. Our real estate brokerage business operates primarily under the trade name La Rosa Realty, which we own, and, to a lesser extent, under the trade name Better Homes Realty which we license. We have 21 La Rosa Realty corporate real estate brokerage offices and branches located in Florida, California, Texas, and Georgia. We have 16 La Rosa Realty franchised real estate brokerage offices and branches and two affiliated real estate brokerage offices that pay us fees in two states in the United States and Puerto Rico. Our real estate brokerage offices, both corporate and franchised, are staffed with 2,454 licensed real estate brokers and sales associates as of March 31, 2024.

 

We have built our business by providing the home buying public with well trained, knowledgeable realtors who have access to our proprietary and third-party in-house technology tools and quality education and training, and valuable marketing that attracts some of the best local realtors who provide value-added services to our home buyers and sellers that are attracted to our brands. We give our real estate brokers and sales agents who are seeking financial independence a turnkey solution and support them in growing their brokerages while they fund their own businesses. This enables us to maintain a low fixed-cost business with several recurring revenue streams, yielding relatively high margins and cash flow.

 

Our agent-centric commission model enables our sales agents to obtain higher net commissions than they would otherwise receive from many of our competitors in our local markets. We believe that agents who join our Company from the major real estate brokerage firms have increased their income by an average of approximately forty percent (40%). They can then use this additional income to reinvest in their businesses or as take-home profit. This is a strong incentive for them to compete against the discount, flat fee and internet brokerages that have sprung up in the past several years. Instead of us taking a greater share of their income, our agents pay what we believe to be reduced rates for training and mentorship and our proprietary technology. Our franchise model has a similar pricing methodology, permitting the franchise owner the freedom to operate their business with minimal control and lower expense than other franchise offerings.

 

Moreover, we believe that our proprietary technology, training, and the support that we provide to our agents at a minimal cost to them is one of the best offered in the industry.

Disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a downturn in our local residential real estate market in 2020. However, our local real estate market rebounded significantly in 2021 and continues to hold up notwithstanding significant increases in mortgage rates as the pandemic has caused what appears to be a large migration into our market areas from other states. Because nearly all of our sales agents, who are independent contractors, were working remotely before the pandemic struck, and because Florida did not mandate stay-at-home orders like many other states, the manner in which our business is conducted during the pandemic has not changed significantly and has not affected the productivity of our sales agents in 2021, in 2022, or in 2023.

 

On October 12, 2023, we consummated our initial public offering (the “IPO”). Following our IPO, as of the date of this prospectus, we have acquired majority ownership of the following franchisees of the Company: Nona Legacy Powered By La Rosa Realty, Inc. (formerly, La Rosa Realty Lake Nona Inc.), Horeb Kissimmee Realty, LLC, La Rosa Realty Premier, LLC, La Rosa Realty Orlando, LLC, La Rosa Realty Georgia, LLC, and La Rosa Realty California, and 100% ownership of the following franchisees of the Company: La Rosa CW Properties, LLC, La Rosa Realty North Florida LLC, and La Rosa Realty Winter Garden LLC, and La Rosa Realty Lakeland LLC.

 

We intend to continue growing our business organically and by acquisition.

 

It is management’s intention to acquire additional franchisees in 2024. We continuously look to search for potential acquisition targets. Management is in discussions with several franchisees; however, any future agreements may have terms that are materially different than the terms of completed acquisitions. We cannot guarantee that the Company will actually enter into any binding acquisition agreements with any of those companies. If we do, we cannot assure you that the terms of such acquisitions will be substantially the same or better for the Company than those of completed acquisitions.

 

Our Technology

 

We provide our agents and employees with cloud-based real estate brokerage services by utilizing our consumer-facing websites, including our corporate website https://www.larosarealty.com and our proprietary technology that provides brokerage operations management tools. When an agent is on-boarded, they are required to take our monthly Foundations Series which covers the use of our proprietary applications. Through our websites, we provide buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants with access to all of the available properties for sale or lease on the multiple listing service (“MLS”), in each of the markets in which we operate. We provide each of our Company franchisees and their agents with their own personal website that they can modify to match their personal branding. Our website also gives consumers access to our network of professional real estate agents and vendors. Additionally, the websites we provide use Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) integrated Client Relationship Management (“CRM”) software to enhance the consumers’ internet experience and assist our agents with lead generation and lead capture through the AI features. For example, our CRM software, which is integrated into our websites, uses AI to generate marketing leads for our agents by sending marketing materials to potential buyers and sellers automatically without any agent involvement. Our technology platform also provides unique automated blogging and comprehensive social media marketing campaigns for our agents to create top of mind public awareness of our brand.

 

In February 2023, we launched our proprietary technology system - JAEME, part of “My Agent Account.” JAIME is a real estate AI assistant created to support and inspire our agents with personalized content to drive marketing, efficiency, and sales. This advanced technology can help agents to provide services to their clients in a more efficient way - even from their mobile devices. Through JAEME, La Rosa’s agents can easily create:

 

Compelling property descriptions;

 

  Effective email campaigns;

 

  Detailed business plans;

 

  Innovative video scripts; and

 

  High-conversion newsletter campaigns.

Our proprietary technology and third-party services and platforms provide our agents and franchisees with commission management and accounting systems, an internal agent “intranet” application, customer relationship management applications, a transaction management solution, automated marketing and social media applications and privacy and identity protections. The combination of our brands, proprietary technology, services, data, lead generation, and marketing tools gives our agents the power to offer best-in-class service to their clients.

 

Internally, we use our technology to provide our Company agents, employees and franchisees with the means to find and develop new business, manage their relationships both externally with their clients and internally with the Company or their franchisor, develop better skills and knowledge in their areas of endeavor and, we believe, enhance their earning potential. While no one can predict the ups and downs of the real estate market, we believe that the “weapons” we provide to our Company agents, employees and franchisees help them fight the adverse economic conditions, a volatile market and the competition.

 

While our offices and our franchisor’s offices act as their “home base,” most agents use our offices primarily for real estate closings and training. We monetize our technology by charging our agents and our franchisor’s agents what we believe to be a reasonable monthly fee for the use of our suite of tools.

 

Our Recent Strategic Partnerships

 

In November 2023, the Company entered into a strategic referral partnership agreement with Janover Inc. (Nasdaq: JNVR) (“Janover”), an AI-enabled B2B fintech marketplace connecting commercial property borrowers and lenders with a human touch. Janover operates an online commercial loan marketplace that connects prospective borrowers and lenders for originating loans and will introduce the Company to clients that need commercial real estate brokers. The partnership is expected to provide our brokers with new tools to facilitate commercial loans, thereby generating a new revenue stream for our brokers and the Company.

 

At the end of 2023, the Company entered into a strategic partnership with Final Offer, a consumer-facing offer management and negotiation platform driven by agents. Final Offer is a technology platform that is designed to simplify real estate transactions, enabling buyers to make successful offers and sellers to maximize the outcome of their sales. Final Offer’s online process allows sellers to establish a minimum sales price and other deal terms online and pre-approved buyers to make binding offers. If a seller sets a “Final Offer” price and terms, an interested buyer can accept it instantly, putting the property under contract. We believe that the Final Offer’s innovative platform is designed to empower both real estate agents and their clients with real-time transparency, streamlining the offer management and negotiation process, creating a fair playing field for all while also providing accountability and trust.

 

In March 2024, the Company officially launched Final Offer. Final Offer is available to real estate brokers on the Company’s platform in key markets across Florida and Georgia, with plans to expand the offering across the organization.

 

Our Markets

 

Our primary market is in the United States. As of May 7, 2024, we have a total of 21 La Rosa Realty corporate real estate brokerage offices and branches in Florida, California, Texas, and Georgia. We have a total of 16 La Rosa Realty franchised real estate brokerage offices and branches and two affiliated real estate brokerage offices that pay us fees in two states in the United States and Puerto Rico.

 

Our Revenue Streams

 

Our financial results are driven by the total number of sales agents in our Company, the number of sales agents closing commercial real estate transactions, the number of sales agents utilizing our coaching services, and the number of agents who work with our franchisees. We grew our total agent count from our founding in 2004 to 2,454 agents as of March 31, 2024.

 

3

 

 

The majority of our revenue is derived from a stable set of fees paid by our brokers, franchisees, and consumers. We have multiple revenue streams, with the majority of our revenue derived from commissions paid by consumers who transact business with our and our franchisee’s agents, royalties paid by our franchisees, dues and technology fees paid by our sales agents, our franchisees and our franchisees’ agents. Our major revenue streams come from such sources as: (i) residential real estate brokerage revenue, (ii) revenue from our property management services, (iii) franchise royalty fees, (iv) fees from the sale or renewal of franchises and other franchise revenue, (v) coaching, training and assistance fees, (vi) brokerage revenue generated transactionally on commercial real estate, and (vii) fees from our events and forums.

 

Our Competition and Strengths

 

The real estate brokerage business is highly competitive. We primarily compete against other independent real estate brokerage agencies in our local markets as well as the international and national real estate brokerage franchisors seeking to grow their franchise system, many of which have a longer operational history and greater resources than us. We compete against other brokerages to attract transactional clients based on our personalized service with experienced brokers who know the local market, the number and quality of listings, our brand and reputation and our marketing efforts. We also compete to attract real estate professionals based on our brand and reputation, the quality of our training and coaching, our marketing efforts, our generous 100% commission “split” for experienced brokers and our technology tools that make the brokers more efficient and productive. We believe that competition in the real estate brokerage franchise business is based principally upon the reputational strength of the brand, the quality of the services offered to franchisees, and the amount of franchise-related fees to be paid by franchisees.

 

We also face competition from internet-based real estate brokers. These companies do not provide the same personalized brokerage services that we do and emphasize low prices and a do-it-yourself philosophy.

 

In the property management arena, we compete against independent local property management companies and the major national and international commercial real estate property managers. While most of our property management business comes from referrals in our local market, we compete on price and our ability to be on the ground and available to handle day-to-day matters for our clients.

 

Our real estate coaching business competes against other in-house training services operated by independent real estate brokerage agencies and the international and national franchisors named above, as well as online providers. We compete on the basis of personalized instruction, our mentorship program that provides a neophyte agent with an experienced coach to guide her and answer questions on an ongoing basis after the classroom instruction has ended.

 

Many of our existing and potential competitors have substantial competitive advantages, including a larger national and international footprint and more recognizable brand, greater financial resources, longer operating histories, a greater breadth of marketing coverage, more extensive relationships in the residential and commercial real estate industry with brokers, agents, service providers and advertisers, stronger relationships with third party data providers such as multiple listing services and listing aggregators, maintain their own in-house software development, have access to larger user bases and greater intellectual property portfolios.

 

Our Corporate History

 

La Rosa Holdings Corp. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 14, 2021 by its founder, Mr. Joseph La Rosa, to become the holding company for five Florida limited liability companies in which Mr. La Rosa held or controlled a one hundred percent ownership interest:

 

La Rosa Coaching, LLC (“Coaching”);

 

La Rosa CRE, LLC (“CRE”);

 

La Rosa Franchising, LLC (“Franchising”);

 

La Rosa Property Management, LLC (“Property Management”); and

 

La Rosa Realty, LLC (“Realty”).

 

Coaching, CRE, Franchising, Property Management and Realty became direct, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company as a result of the closing of the Reorganization Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange, dated July 22, 2021, which was effective on August 4, 2021. Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, the members of each LLC exchanged 100% of their limited liability company membership interests for one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, which share was automatically redeemed for nominal consideration upon the closing of the transaction, resulting each LLC becoming the direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:

 

  being permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;”

 

  not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act);

 

  reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration 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.

 

In addition, an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of some accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this extended transition period. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: (i) our reporting $1.235 billion or more in annual gross revenues; (ii) the end of fiscal year 2026; (iii) our issuance, in a three year period, of more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt; and (iv) the last day of the fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which generally means that we have been public for at least 12 months, have filed at least one annual report, and the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last day of our then-most recently completed second fiscal quarter.

 

We have elected to take advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations and may elect to take advantage of other reduced reporting requirements in future filings. As a result, the information that we provide to our stockholders may be different than the information you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.

 

We also qualify as a “smaller reporting company,” as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and to the extent we continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting company,” after we cease to qualify as an “emerging growth company,” certain of the exemptions available to us as an “emerging growth company” may continue to be available to us as a smaller reporting company, including: (1) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (2) scaled executive compensation disclosures; and (3) the ability to provide only two years of audited financial statements, instead of three years.

 

Implication of Being a Controlled Company

 

We are and will continue, following this offering, to be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules due to the fact that our Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and Founder, Mr. Joseph La Rosa, as of May 7, 2024, controls 74% of the total voting power based on his ownership of common stock and the 20,000,000 votes provided by his Series X Super Voting Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, (the “Series X Preferred Stock”) that votes with the common stock, with respect to director elections and other matters.

 

Upon the completion of this offering and assuming the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option or any other outstanding derivate securities are exercised or converted, Mr. La Rosa will control approximately [●]% of the total voting power of our Company.

 

6

 

 

For so long as we are a controlled company under that definition, we are permitted to elect to rely on and may rely on, certain exemptions from corporate governance rules, including: 

 

 

  an exemption from the rule that a majority of our Board of Directors must be independent directors;

 

  an exemption from the rule that the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer must be determined or recommended solely by independent directors; and

 

  an exemption from the rule that our director nominees must be selected or recommended solely by independent directors.

 

As a result, you will not have the same protection afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to these corporate governance requirements.

 

Although we do not intend to rely on the “controlled company” exemption under the Nasdaq listing rules, we could elect to rely on this exemption after we complete this offering. If we elected to rely on the “controlled company” exemption, a majority of the members of our Board of Directors might not be independent directors and our nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees might not consist entirely of independent directors after we complete this offering.

 

Summary of Risk Factors

 

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks summarized below. These risks are discussed more fully in the “Risk Factors” section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2024, and in this prospectus.

 

Risks Related to Our Business and Operations

 

  Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern.”
     
  We have a limited operating history with financial results that may not be indicative of future performance, and our revenue growth rate is likely to slow down due to the recent antitrust litigation and as our business matures.
     
  Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets may adversely impact future results of operations.
     
  We may not realize the expected benefits of our recent acquisitions because of integration difficulties and other challenges.
     
  If we fail to raise additional capital, our ability to implement our business model and strategy could be compromised.
     
  The residential real estate market is cyclical, and we can be negatively impacted by downturns in this market and by general economic conditions.
     
  The lack of financing for homebuyers in the U.S. residential real estate market at favorable rates and on favorable terms has had a material adverse effect on our financial performance and results of operations.
     
  The housing market is currently in flux with higher mortgage interest rates and generally increasing home prices which makes it difficult to predict future market trends. Any decrease in home sales in the future will have an adverse effect on our financial performance and results of operations.
     
  We may fail to execute our strategies to grow our business successfully, including increasing our agent count and expanding the number of our franchisees and agents, or we may fail to manage our growth effectively, which could have a material adverse effect on our brand, our financial performance, and our results of operations.
     
   We might be unable to attract and retain additional qualified agents and other personnel.

 

7

 

 

  Our financial results are affected directly by the operating results of franchisees and agents, over whom we do not have direct control.
     
  We depend substantially on our Founder, Joseph La Rosa, and the loss of any our senior management or other key employees or the inability to hire additional qualified personnel could adversely affect our operations, our brand and our financial performance.

 

  Concentration of ownership of our voting stock by Mr. La Rosa will prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions.

 

  Mr. La Rosa will control all matters that come before the stockholders for a vote and thus we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing requirements and, as a result, the Company will qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. If we take advantage of such exemptions, you will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such corporate governance requirements.
     
  We are subject to certain risks related to litigation filed by or against us, and adverse results may harm our business and financial condition.
     
  Adverse outcomes in litigation and regulatory actions against the NAR, other real estate brokerage companies and agents in our industry could adversely impact our financial results.
     
  If we attempt to, or acquire other complementary businesses, we will face certain risks inherent with such activities.

 

Risks Associated with our Capital Stock

 

  We may not be able to maintain the listing of our common stock on Nasdaq, which could adversely affect our liquidity and the trading volume and market price of our common stock and decrease or eliminate your investment.
     
  The market price for our common stock may be particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float, and minimal profits, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price.
     
  If our securities become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.
     
  Our status as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act may make it more difficult to raise capital as and when we need it.
     
  If we continue to fail to maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.

 

General Risks

 

  If we fail to protect the privacy of employees, independent contractors, or consumers or personal information that they share with us, our reputation and business could be significantly harmed.
     
  Cybersecurity incidents could disrupt our business operations, result in the loss of critical and confidential information, adversely impact our reputation and harm our business.
     
  Anti-takeover provisions in our amended and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions in Nevada law, might discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our Company or changes in our management and, therefore, depress the trading price of our Securities.

RISK FACTORS

 

The risks and uncertainties described therein and below could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as cause the value of our securities to decline. You may lose all or part of your investment as a result. You should also refer to the other information contained in this prospectus, or incorporated by reference, including our financial statements and the notes to those statements, and the information set forth under the caption “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks mentioned below. Forward-looking statements included in this prospectus are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and all forward-looking statements in documents incorporated by reference are based on information available to us as of the date of such documents. We disclaim any intent to update any forward-looking statements. The risks described below and contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in our other periodic reports are not the only ones that we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also adversely affect our business operations.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern.” If we are unable to continue as a going concern, our securities will have little or no value.

 

Although our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, were prepared under the assumption that we would continue our operations as a going concern, the report of our independent registered public accounting firm that accompanies our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, contains a going concern qualification in which such firm expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, based on that we have incurred recurring net losses, and our operations have not provided net positive cash flows.

 

We plan on continuing to expand via acquisition, which we believe will us achieve future profitability, and we intend to raise capital from outside investors, as we have done in the past, to fund operating losses and to provide capital for further business acquisitions. However, there are no assurances that such financing will be available to us at all or will be available in sufficient amounts or on reasonable terms. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we are unable to generate additional funds in the future through sales of our products, financings or from other sources or transactions, we will exhaust our resources and will be unable to continue operations. If we cannot continue as a going concern, our stockholders would likely lose most or all of their investment in us.

 

We have a limited operating history with financial results that may not be indicative of future performance, and our revenue growth rate is likely to slow down as our business matures and may slow down due to the recent antitrust litigation.

 

We began operations in 2021. As a result of our limited operating history, we have limited financial data that can be used to evaluate our current business, and such data may not be indicative of future performance. We have encountered, and expect to continue to encounter, risks and difficulties frequently experienced by growing companies, including challenges in financial forecasting accuracy, hiring of experienced personnel, hiring of technology employees, determining appropriate investments, developing new products and features, assessing legal and regulatory risks, among others. Any evaluation of our business and prospects should be considered in light of our limited operating history, and the risks and uncertainties inherent in investing in early-stage companies. In addition, recent settlements of litigation based on alleged violations of federal and state antitrust laws may have an adverse impact on our potential growth.

 

11

 

 

We may not realize the expected benefits of our recent acquisitions because of integration difficulties and other challenges.

 

The success of our recent acquisitions will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated revenue, cost-savings, tax, collaboration and other synergies from integrating our two recent acquisitions with our existing business. The integration process may be complex, costly, and time-consuming. We may not accomplish the integration smoothly, successfully, or within the anticipated costs or time frame. The diversion of the attention of management from our current operations to the integration effort and any difficulties encountered in combining operations could prevent us from realizing the full benefits anticipated to result from the share exchanges and could adversely affect our business. In addition, the integration efforts could divert the focus and resources of the management of the Company from other strategic opportunities and operational matters during the integration process.

 

Risks Related to the Ownership of Our Common Stock

 

Our failure to maintain our compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards or other requirements could result in our common stock being from Nasdaq, which could adversely affect our liquidity and the trading volume and market price of our common stock and decrease or eliminate your investment.

 

Our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market on Nasdaq under the symbol “LRHC.” Nasdaq requires listed issuers to comply with certain standards in order to remain listed on its exchange. If, for any reason, Nasdaq should delist our securities from trading on its exchange and we are unable to obtain listing on another reputable national securities exchange, a reduction in some or all of the following may occur, each of which could materially adversely affect our stockholders.

 

On November 24, 2023, Nasdaq notified us that we had no longer met Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) requiring the Company to maintain a minimum market value of listed securities (“MVLS”) of $35 million based on the Company’s MVLS for the prior 30 consecutive business days. Nasdaq Rule 5550 requires a Nasdaq-listed company to meet at least one of the continued listing standards under Nasdaq Rule 5550(b), including having a (i) stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million (the “Equity Standard”), (ii) the MVLS standard; or (iii) net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the three most recently completed fiscal years. Nasdaq had given us 180 days to regain compliance under Nasdaq Rule 5550, or until May 22, 2024. On April 18, 2024, Nasdaq notified us that we had regained compliance with Nasdaq Rule 5550 by satisfying the Equity Standard under Listing Rule 5550(b).

 

If we violate Nasdaq’s listing requirements, or if we fail to meet any of Nasdaq’s listing standards, our common stock may be delisted. A delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq may materially impair our stockholders’ ability to buy and sell our common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our common stock. The delisting of our common stock could significantly impair our ability to raise capital and the value of your shares.

 

Future issuances of our common stock or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, our common stock could cause the market price of our common stock to decline and would result in the dilution of your holdings.

 

Future issuances of our common stock or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, our common stock could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. We cannot predict the effect, if any, of future issuances of our securities, or the future expirations of lock-up agreements, on the price of our common stock. In all events, future issuances of our common stock would result in the dilution of your holdings. In addition, the perception that new issuances of our securities could occur could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

12

 

 

Future issuances of debt securities, which would rank senior to our common stock upon our bankruptcy or liquidation, and future issuances of preferred stock, which could rank senior to our common stock for the purposes of dividends and liquidating distributions, may adversely affect the level of return you may be able to achieve from an investment in our securities.

 

In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by offering debt securities. Upon bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of our debt securities, and lenders with respect to other borrowings we may make, would receive distributions of our available assets prior to any distributions being made to holders of our common stock. Moreover, if we issue preferred stock, the holders of such preferred stock could be entitled to preferences over holders of common stock in respect of the payment of dividends and the payment of liquidating distributions. Because our decision to issue debt or preferred stock in any future offering, or borrow money from lenders, will depend in part on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of any such future offerings or borrowings. Holders of our common stock must bear the risk that any future offerings we conduct or borrowings we make may adversely affect the level of return, if any, they may be able to achieve from an investment in our securities.

 

Concentration of ownership of our voting stock by Mr. La Rosa will prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions.

 

Based on our common stock outstanding as of May 7, 2024, Mr. La Rosa has voting power of approximately 74% of our outstanding voting stock. As a result, Mr. La Rosa, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and majority stockholder, controls all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors and any merger or other significant corporate transactions. The interests of Mr. La Rosa may not coincide with the interests of other stockholders.

 

Mr. La Rosa may have interests different than yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree and that may be adverse to your interests. In addition, Mr. La Rosa’s concentration of ownership could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control or otherwise discouraging a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of us, which could cause the market price of our common stock to decline or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over the market price for their common stock. In addition, he may want the Company to pursue strategies that deviate from the interests of other stockholders. Investors should consider that the interests of the Mr. La Rosa may differ from their interests in material respects.

 

As a “controlled company” under the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, we may choose to exempt our Company from certain corporate governance requirements that could have an adverse effect on our public stockholders.

 

We are and, upon the completion of this offering, will continue to be a “controlled company” as defined under the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615(c)(1) and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirement that a majority of our directors be independent, as defined in the Nasdaq Capital Market Rules, and the requirement that our compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees consist entirely of independent directors. Although we do not intend to rely on the “controlled company” exemption under the Nasdaq listing rules, we could elect to rely on this exemption in the future. If we elect to rely on the “controlled company” exemption, a majority of the members of our Board of Directors might not be independent directors and our nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees might not consist entirely of independent directors. Accordingly, during any time while we remain a controlled company relying on the exemption and during any transition period following a time when we are no longer a controlled company, you would not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all the Nasdaq Capital Market corporate governance requirements. Our status as a controlled company could cause our shares to be less attractive to certain investors or otherwise harm our trading price.

 

We are authorized to issue “blank check” preferred stock without stockholder approval, which could adversely impact the rights of holders of our common stock.

 

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, meaning our Board of Directors can designate the rights and preferences of classes or series of such preferred stock without stockholder approval. Any preferred stock that we issue in the future may rank ahead of our common stock in terms of dividend priority or liquidation premiums and may have greater voting rights than our common stock. In addition, such preferred stock may contain provisions allowing those shares to be converted into shares of common stock, which could dilute the value of common stock to current stockholders and could adversely affect the market price, if any, of our common stock. In addition, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of our company. There can be no assurance that we will not issue preferred stock in the future. 

 

13

 

 

If our shares of common stock become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.

 

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. If we do not retain a listing on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange and if the price of our common stock is less than $5.00, our common stock could be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that before effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock, and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares.

 

We may need, but be unable, to obtain additional funding on satisfactory terms, which could dilute our stockholders or impose burdensome financial restrictions on our business.

 

We have relied upon cash from financing activities, and, in the future, we hope to rely on revenues generated from operations to fund the cash requirements of our activities. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate any significant cash from our operating activities in the future. Future financing may not be available on a timely basis, in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any debt financing or other financing of securities senior to the common stock will likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict our flexibility. Any failure to comply with these covenants would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations because we could lose our existing sources of funding, and our ability to secure new sources of funding could be impaired.

 

Our common stock may be affected by limited trading volume and price fluctuations, which could adversely impact the value of our common stock.

 

Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations, which could adversely affect the market prices of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the market prices of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. These fluctuations may also cause short sellers to periodically enter the market in the belief that we will have poor results in the future. We cannot predict the actions of market participants and, therefore, can offer no assurances that the market for our common stock and warrants will be stable or appreciate over time.

 

The price of our common stock may be adversely affected by the future issuance and sale of shares of our common stock or other equity securities.

 

We cannot predict the size of future issuances or sales of our common stock or other equity securities, future acquisitions or capital raising activities, or the effect, if any, that such issuances or sales may have on the market price of our common stock. The issuance and sale of substantial amounts of common stock or other equity securities or announcement that such issuances and sales may occur could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

14

 

 

We currently do not intend to declare dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and, as a result, your returns on your investment may depend solely on the appreciation of our common stock.

 

We currently do not expect to declare any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Instead, we anticipate that all our earnings in the foreseeable future will be used to provide working capital to support our operations and to finance the growth and development of our business. Any decision to declare or pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board, subject to applicable laws and dependent upon several factors, including our earnings, capital requirements and overall financial conditions. In addition, terms of any future debt or preferred securities may further restrict our ability to pay dividends on our common stock. Accordingly, your only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment in our common stock may be if the market price of our common stock appreciates and you sell your shares at a profit. The market price for our common stock may never exceed, and may fall below, the price that you pay for such common stock.

 

Our management will have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.

 

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, including for any of the purposes described in the section of this prospectus entitled “Use of Proceeds.” 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. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause the price of our securities to decline. Pending the application of these funds, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.

 

There is no public market for the Pre-funded Warrants being offered by us in this offering and none is expected to develop.

 

There is no established public trading market for the Pre-funded Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to have the Pre-funded Warrants listed on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system. Without an active market, the liquidity of the Pre-funded Warrants will be limited.

 

Holders of the Pre-funded Warrants offered hereby will have no rights as common stockholders with respect to the shares of our common stock underlying the warrants until such holders exercise their warrants and acquire our common stock, except as otherwise provided in the Pre-funded Warrants.

 

Until holders of the Pre-funded Warrants acquire shares of our common stock upon exercise thereof, except as set forth in the Pre-funded Warrants, such holders will have no rights with respect to the shares of our common stock underlying such warrants. Upon exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants, the holders will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common stockholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We estimate the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $[] million, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and our estimated offering expenses, and based on the assumed public offering price of $[] per share of common stock (the last reported sale price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on [], 2024).

 

A $[] increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of $[] per share of common stock would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $[] million, assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

 

Similarly, an increase (decrease) of [] in the number of shares of common stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us by $[] million, assuming the assumed public offering price of $[] per share of common stock remains the same, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

 

We currently intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities under this prospectus for working capital and general corporate purposes, which will include the repayment of debt. Specifically, we intend to use approximately []% of the proceeds (approximately, $1.1million) to prepay in full a senior secured convertible note issued to an accredited investor on February 20, 2024 in the aggregate principal amount of $1,052,631.58, bearing interest at a rate of 13% per annum and maturing 12 months from its date of issuance.

 

We reserve the right, at the sole discretion of our management, to reallocate the proceeds of this offering in response to developments in our business and other factors.

 

Pending use of the proceeds as described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds of this offering in short-term interest-bearing investment grade instruments.

 

The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the amount of cash used in our operations. We may find it necessary or advisable to use the net proceeds for other purposes, and we will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the net proceeds from this offering.

 

Based upon our historical and anticipated future growth and our financial needs, we may engage in additional financings of a character and amount that we determine as the need arises. We may raise additional capital through additional public or private financings, the incurrence of debt and other available sources.

DIVIDENDS AND DIVIDEND POLICY

 

The Company has never previously declared or paid any cash dividends on its publicly traded common stock after completion of its initial public offering. We currently intend to retain earnings and profits, if any, to support our business strategy and do not intend to pay any cash dividends within the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon the financial condition of the Company, its operating results, capital requirements, general business conditions and any other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant.

 

DILUTION

 

If you invest in this offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution to the extent of the difference between the offering price per share paid in this offering (or the offering price per Pre-Funded Warrant, as applicable), in each case excluding shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants being offered in this offering and the payment of the exercise price therefor, and the adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock as of December 31, 2023, as adjusted to give effect to this offering.

 

Our net tangible book value per share of common stock is determined by subtracting our total liabilities from our total tangible assets, which is total assets less intangible assets, and dividing this amount by the number of shares of common stock outstanding. The historical net tangible book value (deficit) as of December 31, 2023 was approximately ($1.3) million, or ($0.10) per share of common stock, based on 13,406,480 shares of common stock outstanding at December 31, 2023.

 

After giving effect to the sale of [] shares of our common stock in this offering (excluding shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants being offered in this offering) at an offering price of $[] per share (or the offering price per Pre-Funded Warrant of $[]) and after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us and underwriting discounts), our as adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31, 2023 would have been approximately $[] million, or $[] per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $[] per share to existing stockholders and immediate dilution of $[] per share to investors purchasing securities in this offering at the offering price. The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

 

Offering price per share (or per Pre-Funded Warrant)  $ 
Net tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2023  $(0.10)
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering  $ 
As adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering based  $ 
Dilution per share to new investors  $ 

  

The discussion and table above assume no exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants sold in this offering.

 

Each $[] increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of $[] per share of common stock (or $[] per Pre-Funded Warrant) would increase (decrease) the as adjusted net tangible book value by $[] per share of common stock and the dilution to new investors by $[] per share, assuming that the number of shares and/or Pre-Funded Warrants offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

 

We may also increase or decrease the number of shares we are offering. An increase of [] in the number of shares of common stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase our as adjusted net tangible book value by approximately $[] million, or approximately $[] per share of common stock, and decrease the dilution per share to investors in this offering by approximately $[] per share, assuming that the assumed public offering price per share of common stock and per Pre-Funded Warrant remains the same, and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Similarly, a reduction in the number of shares of common stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants offered by us by [], as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would decrease our as adjusted net tangible book value by approximately $[] million, or approximately $[] per share, and increase the dilution per share to investors in this offering by approximately $[] per share, assuming that the assumed public offering price per share of common stock and per Pre-Funded Warrant remains the same, and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. The information discussed above is illustrative only and will adjust based on the actual public offering price, the actual number of shares of common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants that we offer in this offering, and other terms of this offering determined at pricing.

 

17

 

 

The above discussion and table do not take into account further dilution to investors purchasing our common stock in this offering that could occur upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, or the conversion of convertible securities, having a per share exercise or conversion price less than the public offering price per share in this offering. To the extent that outstanding options or warrants or other shares are issued, investors purchasing our common stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants in this offering will experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe that we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of our common stock, including through the sale of securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for common stock, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders, including investors purchasing our common stock in this offering.

 

The table and discussion above are based on 13,406,480 shares of our common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2023, but does not include, as of such date:

 

190,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants outstanding, at a weighted average exercise price of $8.29 per share;

 

1,392,125 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options outstanding, at a weighted average exercise price of $2.02 per share;

 

4,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units; and

 

4,049,494 shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under our 2022 Equity Incentive Plan.

The following description summarizes important terms of the classes of our capital stock. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and our bylaws which have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

 

As of May 7, 2024, 14,817,655 shares of common stock and 2,000 shares of Series X Super Voting Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.

 

Common Stock

 

Voting Rights. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Under our articles of incorporation and bylaws, any corporate action to be taken by vote of stockholders other than for election of directors shall be authorized by the affirmative vote of the majority of votes cast. Directors are elected by a plurality of votes. Stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights.

 

Dividend Rights. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then-outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of legally available funds.

 

Liquidation Rights. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities and the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any then-outstanding shares of preferred stock.

 

Other Rights. Holders of common stock have no preemptive, conversion or subscription rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Our articles of incorporation authorize our Board to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series to determine the designations and the powers, preferences and rights and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, including the dividend rights, conversion or exchange rights, voting rights (including the number of votes per share), redemption rights and terms, liquidation preferences, sinking fund provisions and the number of shares constituting the series. Our Board of Directors could, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of common stock and which could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, a majority of our outstanding voting stock.

Voting Rights. Each share of our Series X Super Voting Preferred Stock entitles its holder to 10,000 votes per share and votes with our common stock as a single class on all matters to be voted or consented upon by the stockholders.

 

Conversion. The Series X Super Voting Preferred Stock is not convertible into common stock or any other securities of the Company.

 

Dividend Rights. The holders of our Series X Super Voting Preferred Stock are not entitled to any dividend rights or to participate in dividends paid on the Company’s common stock.

Pre-Funded Warrants to be Issued in this Offering

 

The following is a summary of the material terms and provisions of the Pre-Funded Warrants that are being offered hereby. This summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the form of Pre-Funded Warrants, which has been provided to the investors in this offering and which has been filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of Pre-Funded Warrant for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the Pre-Funded Warrants. All Pre-Funded Warrants will be issued in certificated form.

 

General Terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants

 

Each Pre-Funded Warrant offered hereby will have an initial exercise price per share equal to $0.0001. The Pre-Funded Warrants will be immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our common stock and the exercise price.

 

Exercisability

 

The Pre-Funded Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our common stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Pre-Funded Warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock immediately after exercise (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Beneficial Ownership Limitation”), except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the amount of ownership of outstanding stock after exercising the holder’s Pre-Funded Warrants up to 9.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants. Purchasers of Pre-Funded Warrants in this offering may also elect prior to the issuance of the Pre-Funded Warrants to those purchasers to have the initial exercise limitation set at 9.99% of our outstanding common stock.

 

20

 

 

Cashless Exercise

 

If at the time of exercise, there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for issuance of, the shares issuable upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the holders may exercise their Pre-Funded Warrants on a cashless basis. When exercised on a cashless basis, a portion of the Pre-Funded Warrant is cancelled in payment of the purchase price payable in respect of the number of shares of our common stock purchasable upon such exercise.

 

Certain Adjustments

 

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be proportionally adjusted upon the occurrence of specific events, including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations and certain recapitalizations of our common stock.

 

Rights Upon Distribution of Assets; Purchase Rights

 

If we distribute assets, including cash dividends, any securities (other than a stock dividend described under “— Certain Adjustments”) or other property, to our stockholders, holders of Pre-Funded Warrants shall be entitled to participate in such distribution to the same extent that such holder would have participated had the holder held the number of shares of common stock acquirable upon complete exercise of its warrant. If such distribution would cause such holder to exceed the Pre-Funded Warrant Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the holder will not be entitled to participate in the distribution to such extent that the Pre-Funded Warrant Beneficial Ownership Limitation would be exceeded and the distribution will be held in abeyance for the holder’s benefit until such time or times, if ever, as would not result in the holder exceeding the Pre-Funded Warrant Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

 

If we grant, issue or sell pro rata to our stockholders any options, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property, the Pre-Funded Warrant holders will be entitled to acquire such purchase rights to the same extent such holder would have acquired had the holder held the number of shares of common stock acquirable upon complete exercise of its warrant. If such right to participate in any such purchase rights would cause such holder to exceed the Pre-Funded Warrant Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the holder will not be entitled to participate in such purchase right to such extent that the Pre-Funded Warrant Beneficial Ownership Limitation would be exceeded such purchase right, to the extent necessary to prevent such occurrence, will be held in abeyance for the holder’s benefit until such time or times, if ever, as would not result in the holder exceeding the Pre-Funded Warrant Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

 

Transferability

 

Subject to applicable laws and restrictions, a holder may transfer a Pre-Funded Warrant upon surrendering their Pre-Funded Warrants to us with a duly executed assignment in the form attached to the Pre-Funded Warrant. The transferring holder will be responsible for any tax liability that may arise as a result of the transfer.

 

No Listing

 

There is no established public trading market for the Pre-Funded Warrants and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply for listing the Pre-Funded Warrants on any securities exchange or trading system. Without an active market, the liquidity of the Pre-Funded Warrants will be limited.

 

Rights as a Stockholder

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Pre-Funded Warrant or by virtue of a holder’s ownership of shares of our common stock, the holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our common stock, including any voting rights, until they exercise their Pre-Funded Warrants.

 

21

 

 

Fundamental Transactions

 

In the event we effect certain mergers, consolidations, sales of substantially all of our assets, tender or exchange offers, reclassifications or share exchanges in which our common stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, we consummate a business combination in which another person acquires 50% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, or any person or group becomes the beneficial owner of 50% of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by our issued and outstanding common stock, then, upon any subsequent exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants will have the right to receive any shares of the acquiring corporation or other consideration it would have been entitled to receive if it had been a holder of the number of shares of common stock then issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants.

 

Amendments and Waivers

 

The provisions of each Pre-Funded Warrant may be modified or amended, or the provisions thereof may be waived with the written consent of the holder and us.

 

No Fractional Shares

 

No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants. As to any fraction of a share which the holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, we shall or shall cause, at our option, the payment of a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price of the Pre-Funded Warrant per whole share or round such fractional share up to the nearest whole share.

 

Possible Anti-Takeover Effects of Nevada Law and our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws

 

Anti-takeover Effects of Nevada Law

 

Business Combinations

 

The “business combination” provisions of Sections 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive, of the Nevada Revised Statutes, or NRS, generally prohibit a Nevada corporation with at least 200 stockholders of record, a “resident domestic corporation,” from engaging in various “combination” transactions with an “interested stockholder” unless certain conditions are met or the corporation has elected in its articles of incorporation to not be subject to these provisions. We have not elected to opt out of these provisions and if we meet the definition of resident domestic corporation, now or in the future, our company will be subject to these provisions.

 

A “combination” is generally defined to include (a) a merger or consolidation of the resident domestic corporation or any subsidiary of the resident domestic corporation with the interested stockholder or affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder; (b) any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer, or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions, by the resident domestic corporation or any subsidiary of the resident domestic corporation to or with the interested stockholder or affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder having: (i) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the resident domestic corporation, (ii) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the resident domestic corporation, or (iii) 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the resident domestic corporation; (c) the issuance or transfer in one transaction or series of transactions of shares of the resident domestic corporation or any subsidiary of the resident domestic corporation having an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the resident domestic corporation to the interested stockholder or affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder; and (d) certain other transactions with an interested stockholder or affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder.

 

An “interested stockholder” is generally defined as a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within two years, did own) 10% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. An “affiliate” of the interested stockholder is any person that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries is controlled by or is under common control with the interested stockholder. An “associate” of an interested stockholder is any (a) corporation or organization of which the interested stockholder is an officer or partner or is directly or indirectly the beneficial owner of 10% or more of any class of voting shares of such corporation or organization; (b) trust or other estate in which the interested stockholder has a substantial beneficial interest or as to which the interested stockholder serves as trustee or in a similar fiduciary capacity; or (c) relative or spouse of the interested stockholder, or any relative of the spouse of the interested stockholder, who has the same home as the interested stockholder.

 

22

 

 

If applicable, the prohibition is for a period of two years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the combination meets all of the requirements of the resident domestic corporation’s articles of incorporation and the combination or transaction by which the person first became an interested stockholder is approved by the board of directors prior to the date the interested stockholder obtained such status; or the combination is approved by the board of directors and thereafter is approved at a meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of stockholders representing at least 60% of the outstanding voting power held by disinterested stockholders. The prohibition extends beyond the expiration of the two-year period, unless the combination meets all of the requirements of the resident domestic corporation’s articles of incorporation and (a) the combination or transaction by which the person first became an interested stockholder was approved by the board of directors before the person became an interested stockholder; (b) the combination is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders at a meeting called for that purpose no earlier than two years after the date the person first became an interested stockholder; or (c) if the consideration to be paid to all stockholders other than the interested stockholder is, generally, at least equal to the highest of: (i) the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the three years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or in the transaction in which it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher, plus compounded interest and less dividends paid, (ii) the market value per share of common shares on the date of announcement of the combination and the date the interested stockholder acquired the shares, whichever is higher, plus compounded interest and less dividends paid, or (iii) for holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, plus accrued dividends, if not included in the liquidation value. With respect to (i) and (ii) above, the interest is compounded at the rate for one-year United States Treasury obligations from time to time in effect.

 

The business combination provisions do not apply to a person after the expiration of four years after the person first became an interested stockholder.

 

Applicability of the Nevada business combination statute would discourage parties interested in taking control of our company if they cannot obtain the approval of our Board. These provisions could prohibit or delay a merger or other takeover or change in control attempt and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire our company even though such a transaction may offer our stockholders the opportunity to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing market price.

 

Control Share Acquisitions

 

The “control share” provisions of Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, of the NRS, apply to “issuing corporations” that are Nevada corporations with at 200 or more stockholders of record, at least 100 of whom have had addresses in Nevada appearing on the stock ledger of the corporation at all times during the 90 days immediately preceding the determination date, and that conduct business directly or indirectly in Nevada, unless the corporation has elected to not be subject to these provisions.

 

The control share statute prohibits an acquirer of shares of an issuing corporation, under certain circumstances, from voting its shares of a corporation’s stock after crossing certain ownership threshold percentages, unless the acquirer obtains approval of the target corporation’s disinterested stockholders. The statute specifies three thresholds: (a) one-fifth or more but less than one-third, (b) one-third but less than a majority, and (c) a majority or more, of the outstanding voting power. Generally, once a person acquires shares in excess of any of the thresholds, those shares and any additional shares acquired within 90 days thereof become “control shares” and such control shares are deprived of the right to vote until disinterested stockholders restore the right. These provisions also provide that if control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired a majority or more of all voting power, all other stockholders who do not vote in favor of authorizing voting rights to the control shares are entitled to demand payment for the fair value of their shares in accordance with statutory procedures established for dissenters’ rights.

 

23

 

 

A corporation may elect not to be governed by, or “opt out” of, the control shares provisions by making an election in its articles of incorporation or bylaws, provided that the opt-out election must be in place on the tenth (10th) day following the date an acquiring person has acquired a controlling interest, that is, crossing any of the three thresholds described above. We have not opted out of these provisions and will be subject to the control share provisions of the NRS if we meet the definition of an issuing corporation upon an acquiring person acquiring a controlling interest unless we later opt out of these provisions and the opt out is in effect on the tenth (10th) day following such occurrence.

 

The effect of the Nevada control share statute is that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with the acquiring person, will obtain only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting. The Nevada control share law, if applicable, could have the effect of discouraging takeovers of our company.

 

Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and bylaws contains provisions that could make it more difficult to acquire control of our Company by means of a tender offer, open market purchases, a proxy contest or otherwise. A description of these provisions is set forth below.

 

Preferred Stock. We believe that the availability of the “blank check” preferred stock under our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provides us with flexibility in addressing corporate issues that may arise. Our Board of Directors has the power, subject to applicable law, to issue a series of preferred stock that could, depending on the terms of the series, impede the completion of a merger, tender offer or other takeover attempt that some, or a majority, of the stockholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which stockholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then prevailing market price of the stock. Our Board of Directors may issue preferred stock with voting rights or conversion rights that, if exercised, could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common stock.

 

The authorized shares of preferred stock, as well as shares of common stock, are available for issuance without further action by our stockholders unless action is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange on which our securities may be listed. Having these authorized shares available for issuance allows us to issue shares without the expense and delay of a special stockholders’ meeting. We may use additional shares for a variety of purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, to fund acquisitions and as employee compensation. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock could render it more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our Company by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger, or otherwise. The above provisions may deter a hostile takeover or delay a change in control or management of our Company.

 

Election and Removal of Directors. Directors are elected by a plurality of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the stockholders’ meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation does not provide for a classified Board of Directors or cumulative voting in the election of directors. Under our bylaws, subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law, the Board of Directors or any director may be removed from office at any time with or without cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally at an election of directors.

 

Size of Board and Vacancies. The authorized number of directors of the corporation shall be fixed by our Board of Directors from time to time. Directors need not be stockholders. If for any cause, the directors shall not have been elected at an annual meeting, they may be elected as soon thereafter as convenient.

 

Vacancies occurring on our Board of Directors for any reason and newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled only by a vote of a majority of the remaining members of the Board of Directors, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, at any meeting of the Board of Directors. A directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of directors may be filled by the Board of Directors for a term of office only until the next election of one or more directors by the stockholders.

 

24

 

 

Amendment. The Board of Directors is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal our bylaws. The stockholders shall also have power to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws of the corporation; provided, however, that, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the corporation required by law or by the Articles of Incorporation, such action by stockholders shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

 

Special Meetings of Stockholders. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called, for any purpose or purposes, by (i) the Chairman of the Board of Directors, (ii) the Chief Executive Officer, (iii) the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by directors representing a quorum of the Board of Directors or (iv) by the holders of shares entitled to cast not less than 33 1/3% of the votes at the meeting, and shall be held at such place, on such date, and at such time as the Board of Directors shall fix.

 

Penny Stock Regulation

 

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price of less than Five Dollars ($5.00) per share or an exercise price of less than Five Dollars ($5.00) per share. Such securities are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell them. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. As our common stock immediately following this offering may be subject to such penny stock rules, purchasers in this offering will, in all likelihood, find it more difficult to sell their common stock shares in the secondary market.

 

Dividend Policy

 

We will not distribute cash to our common stock stockholders until the Company generates net income. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business and for general corporate purposes. We cannot assure you that we will distribute any cash in the future. Our cash distribution policy is within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon various factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and investment opportunities.

UNDERWRITING

 

Alexander Capital, L.P. is acting as representative of the underwriters (the “Representative”) for the offering. We have entered into an underwriting agreement (the “underwriting agreement”) with the Representative. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, we have agreed to sell to the underwriters named below and the underwriters have agreed, severally and not jointly, to purchase from us, the number of securities set forth opposite their names in the following table.

The underwriters are committed to purchase all of the securities offered by us other than those covered by the over-allotment option described below, if they purchase any securities. The obligations of the underwriters may be terminated upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the underwriting agreement. Furthermore, pursuant to the underwriting agreement, the underwriters’ obligations are subject to customary conditions, representations and warranties contained in the underwriting agreement, such as receipt by the underwriters of officers’ certificates and legal opinions.

 

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

 

The underwriters are offering the securities subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, subject to approval of legal matters by their counsel and other conditions contained in the underwriting agreement. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.

 

The Representative has advised us that the underwriters propose initially to offer the securities to the public at the public offering prices set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of [●]% per share. After the public offering, the public offering prices, the concession and discount may be changed.

 

Over-Allotment Option

 

We have granted to the underwriters an option exercisable not later than 45 days after the date of this prospectus to purchase up to an additional [●] shares of common stock (or Pre-Funded Warrants), equal to 15% of the shares to be offered hereby at the public offering price per share of common stock (or Pre-Funded Warrant) set forth on the cover page hereto less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters may exercise the option solely to cover overallotments, if any, made in connection with this offering. To the extent the option is exercised, each underwriter will become obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase about the same percentage of shares of common stock (and/or Pre-Funded Warrants) as the number listed next to the underwriter’s name in the preceding table bears to the total number of shares of common stock (or Pre-Funded Warrants) listed next to the names of all underwriters in the preceding table. If any additional shares of common stock (or Pre-Funded Warrants) are purchased, the underwriters will offer these shares on the same terms as those on which the other securities are being offered.

Underwriting Discounts, Commissions and Expenses

 

The following table shows the per share and total offering price, underwriting discounts and commissions and proceeds, before expenses, to us from the sale of common stock (or Pre-Funded Warrants).

Proceeds, before expenses, to us  $   $   $ 

 

 

(1)We have agreed to pay the underwriters a cash fee equal to eight percent (8.0%) of the aggregate gross proceeds received by the Company in the offering. We have granted a 45-day option to the underwriters to purchase up to additional shares of common stock (and/or Pre-Funded Warrants) at the public offering price per share of common stock (or Pre-Funded Warrant) set forth above less the underwriting discounts and commissions solely to cover over-allotments, if any.

 

We have agreed to pay all of the expenses relating to the offering, including, but not limited to, (a) all filing fees and communication expenses relating to the registration of the shares of common stock to be sold in the offering (including the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the over-allotment option) with the Securities and Exchange Commission; (b) all filing fees associated with the review of the offering by FINRA; (c) all fees and expenses relating to the listing of the shares of common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, (d) all fees, expenses and disbursements relating to the registration, qualification or exemption of the Securities offered in the offering under the securities laws of such foreign jurisdictions as the we and the Representative together determine; (e) the costs of all mailing and printing of the underwriting documents (including, without limitation, the underwriting agreement, and, if appropriate, any Agreement Among Underwriters, Selected Dealers’ Agreement, underwriter’s Questionnaire and Power of Attorney), registration statements, prospectuses and all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto and as many preliminary and final prospectuses as the Representative may reasonably deem necessary; (f) the costs of preparing, printing and delivering certificates representing the Securities; (g) fees and expenses of the transfer agent for the securities; (h) stock transfer and/or stamp taxes, if any, payable upon the transfer of the Securities from the Company to the underwriters; (i) the cost associated with the Representative’s use of book-building and compliance software for the offering; (j) reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of the underwriter’s counsel up to a maximum of $75,000; (k) background checks of the Company’s officers and directors; (l) the cost of preparation of bound volumes and Lucite cube mementos in such quantities as the Representative may reasonably request; and (m) actual accountable road show expenses for the offering; provided that these actual accountable expenses shall not exceed $125,000 (including the fees and disbursements of the underwriter’s counsel).

 

We have agreed to the Representative a non-accountable expense allowance of one percent (1%) of the gross proceeds of the offering at the closing of the offering.

 

We estimate that the total expenses of the offering payable by us, excluding underwriting discounts, will be approximately $[●].

 

Discretionary Accounts

 

The underwriters do not intend to confirm sales of the securities to any accounts over which it has discretionary authority.

 

Representative’s Warrants

 

We have agreed to issue to the Representative or its designees, at the closing of this offering, warrants to purchase shares common stock equal to five percent (5%) of the aggregate number of shares of common stock (or Pre-Funded Warrants) issued in this offering. The Representative’s Warrants will be exercisable at an exercise price of $ per share (110% of the public offering price per share). The Representative’s Warrants will be exercisable, in whole or in part, which may be by “cashless exercise” under certain conditions, commencing on the six-month anniversary of the date of the commencement of the sale of the public securities in this offering and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement related to the offering. In the event the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Representative’s Warrants are not subject to an effective registration statement, the Representative shall have registration rights (including a one-time demand registration right at our expense and “piggyback” registration rights that expire 5 years from the commencement of sales of this offering) and customary anti-dilution provisions as permitted under FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8).

 

The Representative’s Warrants have been deemed underwriting compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock up pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1). Accordingly, the Representative’s Warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Representative’s Warrants may not be sold during the offering, or sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of six months immediately following the commencement of sales of shares of common stock in the public offering.

 

27

We have agreed, subject to certain exceptions discussed below, not to (i) directly or indirectly, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock, or file any registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any of the foregoing, or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of our common stock, whether any such swap or transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of our common stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the underwriter, for a period of 180 days after the date of the pricing of the offering (the “Lock-Up Period”).

 

The foregoing restrictions will not apply to (i) the shares of common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants to be sold under this prospectus, (ii) the shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to the exercise of any Pre-Funded Warrants sold under this prospectus, (iii) the Representative’s Warrants; (iv) the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of options and warrants, upon the vesting of restricted stock units or other outstanding convertible or exchangeable securities disclosed as outstanding in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, the time of sale disclosure package, and the final prospectus, (v) the issuance of equity and equity-linked awards pursuant to Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (or successor plan approved by the board of directors and stockholders of the Company) to eligible participants thereunder; provided that any grants awards under such plan shall vest no sooner than the expiration of the Lock-Up Period and shall not include the repricing of outstanding options awards or the conversion features of outstanding convertible securities, (vi) the filing of a registration statement on Form S-8 or S-3, or any successor form thereto, (vii) the issuance of unregistered securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company.

 

The Representative, in its sole discretion, may release our common stock and other securities subject to the lock-up agreements described above in whole or in part at any time. When determining whether or not to release our common stock and other securities from lock-up agreements, the Representative will consider, among other factors, the holder’s reasons for requesting the release, the number of shares for which the release is being requested and market conditions at the time of the request.

 

Right of First Refusal

 

For a period of twelve months from the closing date of this offering, the Representative will have a right of first refusal to act as our placement agent or underwriter for any future public and private equity and debt offerings, including any equity-linked financings, except as it relates to commercial debt, on terms and conditions customary to the Representative for such transactions. The Company shall provide written notice to the Representative with the terms of such offering and if the Representative fails to accept in writing any such proposal within ten (10) business days after receipt of such written notice, then the Representative will have no claim or right with respect to any such offering(s). If the Representative or one of its affiliates decides to accept any such engagement, the agreement governing such engagement will contain, among other things, provisions for customary fees for transactions of similar size and nature; provided, however, if the underwriting agreement is terminated for cause by the Company, the right of first refusal shall be terminated as provided in FINRA Rule 5110(g)(5)(B).

 

Tail Financing

 

We have agreed that the Representative shall be entitled to compensation with respect to any public or private offering or other financing or capital raising transaction of any kind (“Tail Financing”) to the extent that such financing or capital is provided to us by investors whom the Representative had introduced to the Company during our engagement period with the Representative if such Tail Financing is consummated at any time within the 12-month period following the expiration or termination of our engagement letter with the Representative for this offering; provided, however, if the underwriting agreement is terminated for cause by the Company, no fee shall be payable by the Company to the Representative for any Tail Financing as provided in FINRA Rule 5110(g)(5)(B).

 

Electronic Offer, Sale and Distribution of Securities

 

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the website maintained by the underwriters and the underwriters may distribute prospectus electronically. The underwriters may agree to allocate a number of shares of common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants for sale to its online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the underwriters on the same basis as other allocations. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on this website is not part of this prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved or endorsed by us or the underwriters in their capacity as an underwriter, and should not be relied upon by investors.

 

Listing

 

Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “LRHC.” There is no established public trading market for the Pre-Funded Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. We do not intend to list the Pre-Funded Warrants on The Nasdaq Capital Market, any other national securities exchange or any other nationally recognized trading system.

Stabilization

 

In connection with this offering, the underwriter may engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate-covering transactions, penalty bids, and purchases to cover positions created by short sales.

 

  Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase securities so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum and are engaged in for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the securities while the offering is in progress.
     
  Over-allotment transactions involve sales by the underwriter of securities in excess of the number of securities the underwriter is obligated to purchase. This creates a syndicate short position which may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of securities over-allotted by the underwriter is not greater than the number of securities that they may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of securities involved is greater than the number of securities in the over-allotment option. The underwriter may close out any short position by exercising their over-allotment option and/or purchasing securities in the open market.
     
  Syndicate covering transactions involves purchases of securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of securities to close out the short position, the underwriter will consider, among other things, the price of securities available for purchase in the open market as compared with the price at which they may purchase securities through exercise of the over-allotment option. If the underwriter sells more securities than could be covered by exercise of the over-allotment option and, therefore, have a naked short position, the position can be closed out only by buying securities in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriter is concerned that after pricing there could be downward pressure on the price of the securities in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.
     
  Penalty bids permit the underwriter to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by that syndicate member are purchased in stabilizing or syndicate covering transactions to cover syndicate short positions.

 

These stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions, and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our securities or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our securities. As a result, the price of our securities in the open market may be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of these transactions. Neither we nor the underwriter make any representation or prediction as to the effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our securities. These transactions may be affected on the Nasdaq Stock Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

 

Passive Market Making

 

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in passive market making transactions in our securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of securities and extending through the completion of the distribution. A passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, such bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.

 

Other Relationships

 

The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include sales and trading, commercial and investment banking, advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, market making, brokerage and other financial and non-financial activities and services, Certain of the underwriters and their respective affiliates may have provided and may in the future provide, a variety of these services to us and our affiliates and entities with relationships with us, for which they have received, or will receive, customary fees and expenses.

Item 17. Undertakings

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i)To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(ii)To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

(iii)To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

(5) That for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i)Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

(ii)Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

II-16

 

 

(iii)The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

(iv)Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

(6) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to any charter provision, by law or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(7) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

(i)For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective; and

 

(ii)For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
