SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus supplement contains forward-looking statements that
involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other
than statements of historical facts, contained in this prospectus
supplement, including statements regarding our future results of
operations and financial position, business strategy and plans and
objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking
statements. The words “may,” “will,”
“should,” “expects,” “plans,”
“anticipates,” “could,”
“intends,” “target,”
“projects,” “contemplates,”
“believes,” “estimates,”
“predicts,” “potential” or
“continue” or the negative of these terms or other
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain
these identifying words.
These forward-looking statements were based on various factors and
were derived utilizing numerous assumptions and other factors that
could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in
the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not
limited to, our inability to obtain adequate financing, our
inability to expand our business, existing or increased
competition, stock volatility and illiquidity, and the failure to
implement our business plans or strategies.
We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations
disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not
place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual
results or events could differ materially from the plans,
intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking
statements we make. We have included important factors in the
cautionary statements included in this prospectus, particularly in
the “Risk Factors” section, as well as the risk factors
incorporated by reference in this prospectus, discussed under
“Item 1A-Risk Factors” contained in our Current
Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on April 2, 2018, and under
similar headings in our subsequently filed quarterly reports on
Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K, that could
cause actual results or events to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements that we make. Our forward-looking
statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future
acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments
we may make.
You should read this prospectus supplement and the documents that
we have filed as exhibits to this prospectus completely and with
the understanding that our actual future results may be materially
different from what we expect. We do not assume any obligation to
update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise, except as required by
applicable law.
This prospectus supplement includes statistical and other industry
and market data that we obtained from industry publications and
research, surveys and studies conducted by third parties.
Industry publications and third-party research, surveys and
studies generally indicate that their information has been obtained
from sources believed to be reliable, although they do not
guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such
information.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following is a summary of what we believe to be the most
important aspects of our business and the offering of our
securities under this prospectus. We urge you to read this entire
prospectus, including the more detailed consolidated financial
statements, notes to the consolidated financial statements and
other information incorporated by reference from our other filings
with the SEC or included in any applicable prospectus supplement.
Investing in our securities involves risks. Therefore, carefully
consider the risk factors set forth in any prospectus supplements
and in our most recent annual and quarterly filings with the SEC,
as well as other information in this prospectus and any prospectus
supplements and the documents incorporated by reference herein or
therein, before purchasing our securities. Each of the risk factors
could adversely affect our business, operating results and
financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an
investment in our securities.
Business
We provide consumer and enterprise solutions to urban
automobile-related logistical challenges. The DropCar business is a
provider of automotive vehicle support, fleet logistics and
concierge services for both consumers and businesses in
automotive-related industries. In 2015, we launched our cloud-based
Enterprise Vehicle Assistance and Logistics (“VAL”)
platform and mobile application (“App”) to assist
customer consumers and companies in reducing the costs, hassles and
inefficiencies of owning or servicing vehicles in urban centers.
Our VAL platform is a web-based interface facilitating our core
service by coordinating the movements and schedules of our trained
valets who pick up and drop off cars at dealerships, customer and
other locations. The App tracks progress and provides real-time
email and/or text notifications on status to customers, increasing
the quality of communication and customer satisfaction. To date, we
operate primarily in the greater New York City metropolitan area,
New Jersey, Washington D.C., Baltimore, Los Angeles and San
Francisco. Expanding city populations have created a growing
dependence on cars for urban mobility; however, the supply of
vehicle services (i.e., garages, service centers, etc.) has
continued to decrease as rising costsand other factors have made
access to such services increasingly limited. To solve for these
systemic urban mobility challenges, our technology captures and
analyzes real-time data to dynamically optimize a rapidly growing
network of professional valets across a suite of vehicle transport
and high-touch support services.
We believe that consumers value the flexibility and comfort of
having a personal vehicle but are restricted by dependence on the
location of garages, service centers, parking solutions and
maintenance. The continued population migration into cities and
corresponding general increase in real estate prices are
compounding this consumer burden. We seek to solve this problem by
freeing consumers from the reliance on the location of automotive
infrastructure generally necessary to own a vehicle in an urban
area.
For our consumer customers, we provide a balance of increased
consumer flexibility and lower cost by aggregating demand for
parking and other automotive services and facilitating their
fulfillment through our network of vendor partners in and around
urban areas providing access and convenience to areas not currently
being served. Beyond the immediate unit economic benefits of
securing discounts from vendor partners based on their excess
capacity, we believe there are significant opportunities for our
platform to expand throughout the vehicle lifecycle and supply
chain.
Our business customers, including, among others, original equipment
manufacturers (“OEMs”), dealers and other service
providers in automotive-related industries are increasingly
challenged with consumers who have limited time to bring their
vehicles for maintenance and service, making it difficult to retain
valuable post-sale service contracts or scheduled consumer
maintenance and service appointments with many urban customers.
Additionally, many of the vehicle support centers for automotive
providers (i.e., dealerships and bodywork and diagnostic shops)
have moved out of urban areas, making it more challenging for these
OEMs and dealers to provide convenient and efficient service for
their consumer and business clientele. Similarly, shared mobility
providers and other fleet managers, such as rental car companies,
face a similar urban mobility challenge: transporting cars to and
from service bays, rebalancing vehicle availability to meet demand
and transporting vehicles from dealer lots to fleet
locations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In response to this growing urban, automotive mobility challenge,
we work directly with our business customers operating in
automotive related industries to provide them with the option to
have our valets transport vehicles to and from their businesses or
their customer locations. Our business customers can leverage our
service to drive new revenue from new and existing customers,
including customers from within our consumer subscription
base.
We offer our business services at a fraction of the cost of many
alternatives, including other third party services and expensive
in-house resources, because our pricing model reduces and/or
eliminates downtime expense while also giving clients access to a
network of trained valets on demand that can be scaled up or down
based on the business customer’s real-time needs. We support
this model by maximizing the utilization of our employee-valet
workforce across a curated pipeline available to both our consumer
and business customer network.
While our current business-to-business (“B2B”) and
business-to-consumer (“B2C”) services generate revenue
and help meet the unmet demand for vehicle support services, we are
also building out a platform and customer base that positions us
well for future application in automotive-related industries where
vehicle ownership and utilization may become increasingly
car-shared or subscription-based with transportation services and
concierge service options customized to match a customers’
immediate needs. For example, certain car manufacturers are testing
new services in which customers pay the manufacturer a flat fee per
month to have access to a number of different vehicle models for a
specified length of time. We believe that our unique blend of B2B
and B2C services make us well suited to introduce and provide the
services necessary to add value in this next generation of
automotive subscription services.
Recent Developments
Intention to Explore Strategic Opportunities
On March 8, 2019, we announced that we had initiated a process to
evaluate strategic opportunities to maximize shareholder value.
While management continues to focus on our business activities and
operations, this process will consider a range of potential
strategic opportunities including, but not limited to, business
combinations.
Sale of Suisun City Operations
On December 24, 2018, we completed the previously announced sale of
WPCS International – Suisun City, Inc., a California
corporation (the “Suisun City Operations”), our
wholly-owned subsidiary, pursuant to the terms of a stock purchase
agreement, dated December 10, 2018 (the “Purchase
Agreement”) by and between us and World Professional Cabling
Systems, LLC, a California limited liability company (the
“Purchaser”). Upon the closing of the sale, the
Purchaser acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of
common stock, no par value per share, of Suisun City Operations,
for an aggregate purchase price of $3,500,000.
Reverse Stock Split
On March 8, 2019, DropCar, Inc. filed a certificate of amendment to
our amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a one-for-six
reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of common stock. Such
amendment and ratio were previously approved by our stockholders
and board of directors, respectively. As a result of the reverse
stock split, every six shares of our outstanding pre-reverse split
common stock were combined and reclassified into one share of
common stock. Proportionate voting rights andother rights of common
stock holders were not affected by the reverse stock split.
Stockholders who would otherwise have held a fractional share of
common stock received payment in cash in lieu of any such resulting
fractional shares of common stock, as the post-reverse split
amounts of common stock were rounded down to the nearest full
share. Unless otherwise noted, all share and per share data do not
reflect to the 1-for-6 reverse stock split of our common
stock.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before
deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should consider
carefully the risks discussed below, together with the risks under
the heading “Risk Factors” as disclosed in our Current
Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on April 2, 2018, which includes financial
statements for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2017, and any subsequent Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q, which are incorporated by reference into this
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, as well as
the other information in this prospectus supplement, the
accompanying prospectus, the information and documents incorporated
by reference and in any free writing prospectus that we have
authorized for use in connection with this offering. If any of the
identified risks actually occur, they could materially adversely
affect our business, financial condition, operating results or
prospects and the trading price of our securities. Additional risks
and uncertainties that we do not presently know or that we
currently deem immaterial may also impair our business, financial
condition, operating results and prospects and the trading price of
our securities.
RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING AND OUR SECURITIES
The price of our common stock may be volatile and fluctuate
substantially, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or
above the price you paid for them.
The trading price of our common stock is highly volatile and could
be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors,
some of which are beyond our control, such as reports by industry
analysts, investor perceptions or negative announcements by other
companies involving similar technologies. The stock market in
general and the market for smaller companies, like DropCar in
particular, have experienced extreme volatility that has often been
unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. As
a result of this volatility, our stockholders may not be able to
sell their common stock at or above the price they paid for it. The
following factors, in addition to other factors described in the
“Risk Factors” section of our most recent filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, may have a significant
impact on the market price of our common stock:
●
issuances
of new equity securities pursuant to a future offering, including
issuances of preferred stock;
●
the
success of competitive products, services or
technologies;
●
regulatory
or legal developments in the United States and other
countries;
●
adverse actions taken
by regulatory agencies with respect to the services we
provide;
●
developments
or disputes concerning patent applications, issued patents or other
proprietary rights;
●
the
recruitment or departure of key personnel;
●
actual
or anticipated changes in estimates as to financial results,
development timelines or recommendations by securities
analysts;
●
variations
in our financial results or those of companies that are perceived
to be similar to us;
●
variations in the costs
of the services we provide;
●
market
conditions in the market segments in which we operate;
●
variations
in quarterly and annual operating results;
●
announcements
of new products and/or services by us or our
competitors;
●
the
gain or loss of significant customers;
●
changes
in analysts’ earnings estimates;
●
short
selling of shares of our common stock;
●
changing
the exchange or quotation system on which shares of our common
stock are listed;
●
trading volume of our
common stock;
●
sales of our common
stock by us, our executive officers and directors or our
stockholders in the future;
●
changes
in accounting principles; and
●
general economic and
market conditions and overall fluctuations in the U.S. equity
markets.
In addition, broad market and industry factors may negatively
affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our
actual operating performance, and factors beyond our control may
cause our stock price to decline rapidly and
unexpectedly.
We may be unable to maintain compliance with The Nasdaq Marketplace
Rules which could cause our common stock to be delisted from The
Nasdaq Capital Market. This could result in the lack of a market
for our common stock, cause a decrease in the value of an
investment in us, and adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
On September 25, 2018, we received written notice from the Listing
Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC
(“Nasdaq”) that for the preceding 30 consecutive
business days, our common stock did not maintain a minimum closing
bid price of $1.00 per share as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule
5550(a)(2). In order to regain compliance, on March 8, 2019, we
filed a certificate of amendment to our amended and restated
certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the
State of Delaware to effect a one-for-six reverse stock split of
our outstanding shares of common stock. On March 26, 2019, we
received a notification letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market
informing us that we had regained compliance with Listing Rule
5550(a)(2).
While we have exercised diligent efforts to maintain the listing of
our common stock on Nasdaq, there can be no assurance that we will
be able to continue to meet the continuing listing requirements of
The Nasdaq Capital Market. If our common stock is delisted from
Nasdaq, our ability to raise capital in the future may be limited.
Delisting could also result in less liquidity for our stockholders
and a lower stock price. Such a delisting would likely have a
negative effect on the price of our common stock and would impair
your ability to sell or purchase our common stock when you wish to
do so. In the event of a delisting, we expect to take actions to
restore our compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements,
but we can provide no assurance that any action taken by us would
result in our common stock becoming listed again, or that any such
action would stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of
our common stock.
Future sales of our common stock in the public market could cause
our stock price to fall.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the
public market, or the perception that these sales might occur,
could depress the market price of our common stock and could impair
our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional
equity securities. As of March 26, 2019, we
had 3,440,258 shares of
common stock outstanding, all of which shares were eligible for
sale in the public market, subject in some cases to compliance with
the requirements of Rule 144, including the volume limitations and
manner of sale requirements. As of March 26, 2019, we had
outstanding equity awards (option and restricted stock awards) and
warrants to purchase 626,056 and 585,307 shares of common stock,
respectively, and 338,061 shares of common stock issuable upon the
conversion of outstanding preferred stock. To the extent these
options and warrants are exercised and shares of preferred stock
are converted, a significant number of shares will be available for
sale into the public market.
Our stockholders may experience significant dilution as a result of
future equity offerings or issuances and exercise of outstanding
options and warrants.
In order to raise additional capital or pursue strategic
transactions, we may in the future offer, issue or sell additional
shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or
exchangeable for our common stock. Our stockholders may experience
significant dilution as a result of future equity offerings or
issuances. Investors purchasing shares or other securities in the
future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. As of
March 26, 2019, we had a significant number of securities
convertible into, or allowing the purchase of, our common stock,
including 585,307 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of
the outstanding warrants, 626,056 shares of common stock underlying
the outstanding options and outstanding restricted stock awards and
338,061 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of
outstanding preferred stock.
We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this
offering.
Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the
net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in
ways with which you may not agree. Accordingly, you will be relying
on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of the net
proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your
investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used
appropriately. We may use the net proceeds to continue or expand
our research and development activities or to fund possible
investments in, or acquisitions of, complementary businesses,
technologies or products. It is possible that the net proceeds will
be invested or otherwise used in a way that does not yield a
favorable, or any, return for us.
The adverse capital and credit market conditions could affect our
liquidity.
Adverse capital and credit market conditions could affect our
ability to meet liquidity needs, as well as our access to capital
and cost of capital. The capital and credit markets have
experienced extreme volatility and disruption in recent years. Our
results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and capital
position could be materially adversely affected by continued
disruptions in the capital and credit markets.
Our ability to use net operating losses to offset future taxable
income are subject to certain limitations.
At December 31, 2017, we had approximately $7.9 million of
operating loss carryforwards for federal and $7.9 million New York
state tax purposes that may be applied against future taxable
income. The net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire
in the year 2035 if not utilized prior to that date.To the extent
available, we intend to use these net operating loss carryforwards
to reduce the corporate income tax liability associated with our
operations. The ability to utilize this net operating loss
carryforwards may be limited under Section 382 of the Code, which
apply if an ownership change occurs. To the extent our use of net
operating loss carryforwards is significantly limited, our income
could be subject to corporate income tax earlier than it would if
we were able to use net operating loss carryforwards, which could
have a negative effect on our financial results.
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock in the past
and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in
the foreseeable future.
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock.
We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock
in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain all
available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and
growth of our business. As a result, capital appreciation, if any,
of our common stock will be the sole source of gain for the
foreseeable future for holders of our common stock.
Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and
Delaware law could prevent or delay a
change in control.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage, delay
or prevent a merger or acquisition that a stockholder may consider
favorable by authorizing the issuance of “blank check”
preferred stock. This preferred stock may be issued by our board of
directors on such terms as it determines, without further
stockholder approval. Therefore, our board of directors may issue
such preferred stock on terms unfavorable to a potential bidder in
the event that our board of directors opposes a merger or
acquisition. Certain other provisions of our bylaws and of Delaware
law may also discourage, delay or prevent a third party from
acquiring or merging with us, even if such action were beneficial
to some, or even a majority, of our stockholders.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for
general corporate purposes, including working capital. We may also
use all or a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to fund
possible investments in, or acquisitions of, complementary
businesses, technologies or products, but we currently have no
agreements or commitments with respect to any investment or
acquisition. Pending the application of the net proceeds, we intend
to invest the net proceeds in short-term, investment grade,
interest-bearing securities, if such proceeds are
invested.
As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot specify
with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to
us from this offering, if any. As a result, our management will
have broad discretion regarding the timing and application of the
net proceeds from this offering.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common
stock and do not currently anticipate declaring or paying cash
dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We
currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to
finance operations. Any future determination relating to our
dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our board of
directors and will depend on a number of factors, including future
earnings, capital requirements, financial conditions, future
prospects, contractual restrictions and other factors that our
board of directors may deem relevant.

registration process, we and the selling stockholders may offer
shares of our common stock, preferred stock, various series of debt

the selling stockholders identified in this prospectus may offer
and sell from time to time up to 1,560,696 shares of our common stock

PROSPECTUS
SUMMARY
The following is a summary of what we believe to be the most
important aspects of our business and the offering of our
securities under this prospectus. We urge you to read this entire
prospectus, including the more detailed consolidated financial
statements, notes to the consolidated financial statements and
other information incorporated by reference from our other filings
with the SEC or included in any applicable prospectus supplement.
Investing in our securities involves risks. Therefore, carefully
consider the risk factors set forth in any prospectus supplements
and in our most recent annual and quarterly filings with the SEC,
as well as other information in this prospectus and any prospectus
supplements and the documents incorporated by reference herein or
therein, before purchasing our securities. Each of the risk factors
could adversely affect our business, operating results and
financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an
investment in our securities.
Overview
Operating Segments
We
have two reportable operating segments: DropCar Operating and WPCS
International Incorporated (“WPCS”).
DropCar Operating
We
are a provider of automotive vehicle support, fleet logistics, and
concierge services for both consumers and the automotive industry.
Our cloud-based Enterprise Vehicle Assistance and Logistics
(“VAL”) platform and mobile application
(“app”) assists consumers and automotive-related
companies reduce the costs, hassles and inefficiencies of owning a
car, or fleet of cars, in urban centers. Our VAL platform is a
web-based interface to our core service that coordinates the
movements and schedules of trained valets who pickup and drop off
cars at dealerships and customer locations. The app tracks progress
and provides email and text notifications on status to both dealers
and customers, increasing the quality of communication and
subsequent satisfaction with the service.
In
July 2018, we launched our Mobility Cloud platform which provides
automotive-related businesses with a 100% self-serve SaaS version
of its VAL platform to manage our own operations and drivers, as
well as customer relationship management (“CRM”) tools
that enable their clients to schedule and track their vehicles for
service pickup and delivery. Our Mobility Cloud also provides
access to private APIs (application programming interface) which
automotive-businesses can use to integrate our logistics and field
support directly into their own applications and processes
natively, to create more seamless client experiences.
We
believe that consumers love the freedom and comfort of having a
personal vehicle, but are held hostage by their dependence on the
physical location of garages and service centers for parking and
maintenance. The continued population shift into cities and
resulting increase in real estate prices are only compounding this
burden. We seek to solve this problem by freeing clients from the
reliance on the physical location of garages and service
centers.
We
achieve this balance of increased consumer flexibility and lower
consumer cost by aggregating demand for parking and other
automotive services and redistributing their fulfillment to
partners in the city and on city outskirt areas that have not
traditionally had access to lucrative city business. Beyond the
immediate unit economic benefits of securing bulk discounts from
vendor partners, we believe there is significant opportunity to
further vertically integrate such businesses along the supply chain
into our platform.
To
date, we operate primarily in the New York metropolitan area. In
May 2018, we expanded operations with our B2B business in San
Francisco and in June 2018 we expanded operations with our B2B
business in Washington DC, both new market expansions are with a
major original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”)
customer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On
the enterprise side, OEMs, dealers, and other service providers in
the automotive space are increasingly being challenged with
consumers who have limited time to bring in their vehicles for
maintenance and service, making it difficult to retain valuable
post-sale service contracts or scheduled consumer maintenance and
service appointments. Additionally, many of the vehicle support
centers for automotive providers (i.e., dealerships, including body
work and diagnostic shops) have moved out of urban areas thus
making it more challenging for OEMs and dealers in urban areas to
provide convenient and efficient service for their consumer and
business clientele. Similarly, shared mobility providers and other
fleet managers, such as rental car companies, face a similar urban
mobility challenge: getting cars to and from service bays,
rebalancing vehicle availability to meet demand and getting
vehicles from dealer lots to fleet locations.
While
our business-to-business (“B2B”) and
business-to-consumer (“B2C”) services generate revenue
and help meet the unmet demand for vehicle support services, we are
also building-out a platform and customer base that positions us
well for developments in the automotive space when vehicle
ownership becomes more subscription based with transportation
services and concierge options well-suited to match a
customer’s immediate needs. For example, certain car
manufacturers are testing new services in which customers pay the
manufacturer a flat fee per month to drive a number of different
models for any length of time.
WPCS
WPCS
provides low voltage communication infrastructure services. The
Company specializes in the installation and service of low voltage
communications, voice and data networks, security systems,
audio-visual solutions, and distributed antenna systems and provide
experienced project management and deliver complex projects to key
vertical markets that include healthcare, education,
transportation, energy and utilities, oil and gas, manufacturing,
commercial real estate, financial, and government.
Recent Developments
Reverse Merger and Exchange Ratio
On
January 30, 2018, DC Acquisition Corporation (“Merger
Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of WPCS, completed its
merger with and into DropCar, Inc. (“Private DropCar”),
with Private DropCar surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of
WPCS. This transaction is referred to as the “Reverse
Merger.” The Reverse Merger was effected pursuant to an
Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger
Agreement”), dated September 6, 2017, by and among WPCS,
Private DropCar and Merger Sub.
As
a result of the Reverse Merger, each outstanding share of Private
DropCar share capital (including shares of Private DropCar share
capital to be issued upon the conversion of outstanding convertible
debt) automatically converted into the right to receive
approximately 0.3273 shares of WPCS’s common stock, par value
$0.0001 per share (the “Exchange Ratio”). Following the
closing of the Reverse Merger, holders of WPCS’s common stock
immediately prior to the Reverse Merger owned approximately 22.9%
on a fully diluted basis, and holders of Private DropCar common
stock immediately prior to the Reverse Merger owned approximately
77.1% on a fully diluted basis, of WPCS’s common
stock.
The
Reverse Merger has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition
under the acquisition method of accounting where Private DropCar is
considered the accounting acquirer and WPCS is the acquired company
for financial reporting purposes. Private DropCar was determined to
be the accounting acquirer based on the terms of the Merger
Agreement and other factors, such as relative voting rights and the
composition of the combined company’s board of directors and
senior management, which was deemed to have control. The
pre-acquisition financial statements of Private DropCar became the
historical financial statements of WPCS following the Reverse
Merger. The historical financial statement, outstanding shares and
all other historical share information have been adjusted by
multiplying the respective share amount by the Exchange Ratio as if
the Exchange Ratio had been in effect for all periods
presented.
Immediately
following the Reverse Merger, the combined company changed its name
from WPCS International Incorporation to DropCar, Inc. The combined
company following the Reverse Merger may be referred to herein as
“the combined company,” “DropCar,” or the
“Company.”

The
Company’s shares of common stock listed on The Nasdaq Capital
Market, previously trading through the close of business on January
30, 2018 under the ticker symbol “WPCS,” commenced
trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market, on a post-Reverse Stock Split
adjusted basis, under the ticker symbol “DCAR” on
January 31, 2018.
Consumer Services Product Offering Change
In
July 2018, DropCar Operating began assessing demand for a Self-Park
Spaces monthly parking plan whereby consumers could designate
specific garages for their vehicles to be stored at a base monthly
rate, with 24/7 access for picking up and returning their vehicle
directly, and the option to pay a la carte on a per hour basis for
a driver to perform functions such as picking up and returning the
vehicle to the client’s front door. This model aligns more
directly with how the Company has structured the enterprise B2B
side of its business, where an interaction with a vehicle on behalf
of its drivers typically generates net new revenue. DropCar
Operating has decided that the Self-Park Spaces plan combined with
its on-demand valet service will be the only plans that it will
offer consumers from September 1, 2018 onwards. Subscriber plans
prior to this date will continue to receive service on a prorated
basis. Additionally, the Company is scaling back its 360 Services
for the Consumer portion of the market. As a result of this shift,
in August 2018, the Company has begun to significantly streamline
its field teams, operations and back office support tied to its
pre-September 1, 2018 consumer subscription plans.
Term Sheet for Sale of WPCS Business
On August 9, 2018 the Company entered into a term
sheet with the management of WPCS International Suisun City, Inc.
for the sale of select assets and liabilities of the
Company’s WPCS business for $3.5 million. It is anticipated
that the transaction will close in the 4th
quarter of 2018, however, there can be
no assurance that the sale will be consummated on the terms
previously negotiated or at all. The contemplated sales price is
exptected to be below the carrying value of the Company's goodwill
and intangibles In the event the transaction is consummated
under its current terms, the Company would record a material
impairment charge.
Issuance of Series J Warrants
On
August 31, 2018, the Company offered (the “Repricing Offer
Letter”) to the holders (the “Holders”) of the
Company’s outstanding Series H-4 Warrants to purchase common
stock of the Company issued on March 8, 2018 (the “Series H-4
Warrants”) the opportunity to exercise such Series H-4
Warrants for cash at a reduced exercise price of $0.60 per share
(the “Reduced Exercise Price”) provided such Series H-4
Warrants were exercised for cash on or before 5:00 P.M. Eastern
Daylight Time on September 4, 2018 (the “End Date”). In
addition, the Company issued a “reload” warrant (the
“Series J Warrants”) to each Holder who exercised their
Series H-4 Warrants prior to the End Date, covering one share for
each Series H-4 Warrant exercised during that period. The terms of
the Series J Warrants are substantially identical to the terms of
the Series H-4 Warrants except that (i) the exercise price is equal
to $1.00, (ii) the Series J Warrants may be exercised at all times
beginning on the 6-month anniversary of the issuance date on a cash
basis and also on a cashless basis as described in Section 2(d) of
the Series J Warrant, (iii) the Series J Warrants do not contain
any provisions for anti-dilution adjustment and (iv) the Company
has the right to require the Holders to exercise all or any portion
of the Series J Warrants still unexercised for a cash exercise if
the VWAP (as defined in the Series J Warrant) for the
Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $1.50 for not less
than ten consecutive trading days.
On
September 4, 2018, the Company received executed Repricing Offer
Letters from a majority of the Holders, which resulted in the
issuance of Series J Warrants to purchase up to 1,560,696 shares of
the Company’s common stock. The Company received gross
proceeds of approximately $937,000 from the exercise of the Series
H-4 Warrants pursuant to the terms of the Repricing Offer
Letter.
Company Information
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on
December 18, 1997 under the name “Internet International
Communications Ltd.” Pursuant to a Certificate of Amendment
to our Certificate of Incorporation filed on December 23,
2004, our name was changed to “WPCS International
Incorporated.” On January 30, 2018, we
completed a business combination with DropCar, Inc., a then
privately held Delaware corporation (“Private
DropCar”), in accordance with the terms of a merger
agreement, pursuant to which a merger subsidiary merged with and
into Private DropCar, with Private DropCar surviving as our wholly
owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). On January 30, 2018,
immediately after completion of the Merger, we changed our name to
“DropCar, Inc.” The Merger was treated
as a reverse merger under the
acquisition method of accounting in accordance with U.S.
GAAP.

believed to be reliable, although they do not guarantee the
accuracy or completeness of such information.
RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
Any
time debt securities are offered pursuant to this prospectus, we
will provide a table setting forth our ratio of earnings to fixed
charges on a historical basis in the applicable prospectus
supplement, if required.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We
cannot assure you that we will receive any proceeds in connection
with securities which may be offered pursuant to this prospectus.
Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement,
we intend to use any net proceeds from the sale of securities under
this prospectus for our operations and for other general corporate
purposes, including, but not limited to, general working capital
and possible future acquisitions. We have not determined the
amounts we plan to spend on any of the areas listed above or the
timing of these expenditures. As a result, our management will have
broad discretion to allocate the net proceeds, if any, we receive
in connection with securities offered pursuant to this prospectus
for any purpose. Pending application of the net proceeds as
described above, we may initially invest the net proceeds in
short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities or apply
them to the reduction of short-term indebtedness.
We will
not receive any proceeds in connection with sales by any selling
stockholder.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
General Plan of Distribution
We may
offer securities under this prospectus from time to time pursuant
to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions, block
trades or a combination of these methods. We may sell the
securities (1) through underwriters or dealers,
(2) through agents or (3) directly to one or more
purchasers, or through a combination of such methods. We may
distribute the securities from time to time in one or more
transactions at:
●
a fixed price or
prices, which may be changed from time to time;
●
market prices
prevailing at the time of sale;
●
prices related to
the prevailing market prices; or
We may
directly solicit offers to purchase the securities being offered by
this prospectus. We may also designate agents to solicit offers to
purchase the securities from time to time. We will name in a
prospectus supplement any underwriter or agent involved in the
offer or sale of the securities.
If we
utilize a dealer in the sale of the securities being offered by
this prospectus, we will sell the securities to the dealer, as
principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public
at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of
resale.
If we
utilize an underwriter in the sale of the securities being offered
by this prospectus, we will execute an underwriting agreement with
the underwriter at the time of sale, and we will provide the name
of any underwriter in the prospectus supplement which the
underwriter will use to make re-sales of the securities to the
public. In connection with the sale of the securities, we, or the
purchasers of the securities for whom the underwriter may act as
agent, may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting
discounts or commissions. The underwriter may sell the securities
to or through dealers, and the underwriter may compensate those
dealers in the form of discounts, concessions or
commissions.
With
respect to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions
and block trades, we will provide in the applicable prospectus
supplement information regarding any compensation we pay to
underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering of
the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions
allowed by underwriters to participating dealers. Underwriters,
dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the
securities may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and
any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit
realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be
underwriting discounts and commissions. We may enter into
agreements to indemnify underwriters, dealers and agents against
civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act,
or to contribute to payments they may be required to make in
respect thereof.
If so
indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will
authorize underwriters or other persons acting as our agents to
solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase securities from
us pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and
delivery on the date stated in the prospectus supplement. Each
contract will be for an amount not less than, and the aggregate
amount of securities sold pursuant to such contracts shall not be
less nor more than, the respective amounts stated in the prospectus
supplement. Institutions with whom the contracts, when authorized,
may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance
companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and
charitable institutions and other institutions, but shall in all
cases be subject to our approval. Delayed delivery contracts will
not be subject to any conditions except that:
●
the purchase by an
institution of the securities covered under that contract shall not
at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of the
jurisdiction to which that institution is subject; and
●
if the securities
are also being sold to underwriters acting as principals for their
own account, the underwriters shall have purchased such securities
not sold for delayed delivery. The underwriters and other persons
acting as our agents will not have any responsibility in respect of
the validity or performance of delayed delivery
contracts.
Shares
of our common stock sold pursuant to the registration statement of
which this prospectus is a part will be authorized for quotation
and trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The applicable prospectus
supplement will contain information, where applicable, as to any
other listing, if any, on The Nasdaq Capital Market or any
securities market or other securities exchange of the securities
covered by the prospectus supplement. We can make no assurance as
to the liquidity of or the existence of trading markets for any of
the securities.
In
order to facilitate the offering of the securities, certain persons
participating in the offering may engage in transactions that
stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the
securities. This may include over-allotments or short sales of the
securities, which involve the sale by persons participating in the
offering of more securities than we sold to them. In these
circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or
short positions by making purchases in the open market or by
exercising their over-allotment option. In addition, these persons
may stabilize or maintain the price of the securities by bidding
for or purchasing the applicable security in the open market or by
imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to
dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if the
securities sold by them are repurchased in connection with
stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be
to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a
level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market.
These transactions may be discontinued at any time.
In
compliance with the guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc., or FINRA, the maximum consideration or
discount to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker
dealer may not exceed 8% of the aggregate amount of the securities
offered pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus
supplement.
The
underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in other transactions
with us, or perform other services for us, in the ordinary course
of their business.
The
selling stockholders may from time to time sell their shares of our
common stock listed in the table under “Selling
Stockholders.” The selling stockholders, including their
transferees, may sell their shares directly to purchasers or
through underwriter, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive
compensation in the form of discounts, concessions, or commissions
from the selling stockholders or the purchasers of the shares. In the case of sales by the selling
stockholders, we will not receive any
of the proceeds from the sale by them of their shares. Unless
otherwise described in an applicable prospectus supplement, the
description herein of sales by us regarding underwriters, dealers
and agents will apply similarly to sales by the selling
stockholders through underwriters,
dealers and agents. We will name any underwriters, dealers or
agents acting for the selling stockholders in a prospectus supplement and describe the
principal terms of the agreement between the selling
stockholders and any such
underwriters, dealers or agents.
In addition, any shares that qualify for sale
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, may be sold by
the selling stockholders under
Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this
prospectus.
In order to comply with the securities laws of
some states, if applicable, the securities may be sold in those
jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or
dealers. In offering their shares covered by this prospectus,
the selling stockholders and
any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the
sale of those shares may be “underwriters” within the
meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts,
commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of such
shares may be underwriting discounts or commissions under the
Securities Act. Any selling stockholder who is an “underwriter” within the
meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act will be subject
to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
The selling stockholders will
be obligated to comply with the applicable provisions of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including
without limitation Regulation M under the Exchange
Act.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
General
The
following description of our capital stock and provisions of our
amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended
(“Certificate of Incorporation”), and amended and
restated bylaws (“Bylaws”), are summaries and are
qualified by reference to the Certificate of Incorporation and the
Bylaws that are on file with the SEC.
We
are authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock
and up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with the rights,
preferences and privileges determined by our board of directors
from time to time. Based on our capitalization as of October 9,
2018, we had issued and outstanding:
●
8,884,411 shares of our common stock held
by 39 stockholders of record;
●
29,040 shares of our convertible preferred
stock held by 16 stockholders
of record; and
●
8,739,460 shares of our common stock reserved for future
issuance as follows: (i) 1,020,539 shares for issuance upon
exercise of stock options granted under the WPCS International Incorporated Amended and
Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, at a weighted
average exercise price of $4.58 per share, all of which are
issuable upon exercise of currently outstanding options, subject to
vesting; (ii) 1,467,858 shares for issuance upon exercise of
restricted stock units granted under the WPCS International Incorporated Amended and
Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, all of which are
issuable upon vesting of currently outstanding restricted stock
units; (iii) 2,739,225 shares for issuance upon conversion of the
outstanding shares of our convertible preferred stock; and (iv)
3,511,838 shares for issuance
upon exercise of the outstanding warrants.
Common Stock
Holders
of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on
all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not have
cumulative voting rights. Each election of directors by our
stockholders will be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by
the stockholders entitled to vote on the election. Holders of
common stock are entitled to receive proportionately any dividends
as may be declared by our board of directors, subject to any
preferential dividend rights of outstanding preferred
stock.
In the
event of our liquidation or dissolution, the holders of our common
stock are entitled to receive proportionately all assets available
for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all debts and
other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any of our
outstanding preferred stock. Holders of our common stock have no
preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The
rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock
are subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights of the
holders of shares of any series of our preferred stock that we may
designate and issue in the future.
Preferred Stock
Under
the terms of our Certificate of Incorporation, our board of
directors is authorized to issue shares of preferred stock in one
or more series without stockholder approval. Our board of directors
has the discretion to determine the rights, preferences, privileges
and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights,
conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation
preferences, of each series of preferred stock.
The
purpose of authorizing our board of directors to issue preferred
stock and determine its rights and preferences is to eliminate
delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances.
The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in
connection with possible acquisitions, future financings and other
corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more
difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third
party from seeking to acquire, a majority of our outstanding voting
stock.
Series H Convertible Preferred Stock
On
June 30, 2015, we entered into Amendment, Waiver and Exchange
Agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with certain of
our promissory note holders, who held $1,299,000 in principal
amount of unsecured promissory notes of ours. Pursuant to the terms
of the Exchange Agreements, the holders of such notes agreed to
exchange all the existing indebtedness for, and we agreed to issue
to the holders, an aggregate of 8,435 shares of Series H
Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share
(“Series H Stock”). On June 30, 2015, we filed
with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate
of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series H Convertible
Preferred Stock (the “Series H Certificate of
Designation”). Under the terms of the Series H Certificate of
Designation, each share of Series H Stock has a stated value
of $154 and is convertible into shares of our common stock,
equal to the stated value divided by the conversion price of $1.54
per share (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits or
dividends). We are prohibited from effecting the conversion of the
Series H Stock to the extent that, as a result of such conversion,
the holder would beneficially own more than 9.99%, in the
aggregate, of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock
calculated immediately after giving effect to the issuance of
shares of our common stock upon such conversion.
As of
October 9, 2018, there were 8 shares
of Series H Stock issued and outstanding.
Series H-3 Convertible Preferred Stock
On
March 30, 2017, we entered into a Securities Purchase
Agreement (the “Series H-3 Securities Purchase
Agreement”) with five investors (the “Series H-3
Investors”) pursuant to which we issued to the Series H-3
Investors an aggregate of 7,017 shares of Series H-3 Preferred
Convertible Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series
H-3 Stock”), and warrants to purchase 1,101,751 shares of
common stock, with an exercise price of $1.38 per share (the
“Series H-3 Warrants”). The purchase price for each
share of Series H-3 Stock was $138 and the purchase price for each
Series H-3 Warrant was $0.1250, for aggregate gross proceeds of
$1,100,000.
On
March 30, 2017, we filed with the Secretary of State of the
State of Delaware a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and
Rights of the Series H-3 Stock (the “Series H-3 Certificate
of Designation”). Under the terms of the Series H-3
Certificate of Designation, each share of the Series H-3 Stock has
a stated value of $138 and is convertible into shares of
common stock, equal to the stated value divided by the conversion
price of $1.38 per share (subject to adjustment in the event
of stock splits and dividends). We are prohibited from effecting
the conversion of the Series H-3 Stock to the extent that, as a
result of such conversion, the holder or any of its affiliates
would beneficially own more than 9.99%, in the aggregate, of the
issued and outstanding shares of common stock calculated
immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common
stock upon the conversion of the Series H-3 Stock.
As of
October 9, 2018, there were 2,189
shares of Series H-3 Stock issued and
outstanding.
Series H-4 Convertible Preferred Stock
On March 8, 2018, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
(the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain
institutional and accredited investors (collectively, the
“Investors”), pursuant to which we issued to the
Investors an aggregate of 26,843 shares (the “Series H-4
Shares”) of our Series H-4 Convertible Preferred Stock, par
value $0.0001 per share (the “Series H-4 Stock”), and
warrants to purchase 2,684,300 shares of our common stock, with an
exercise price of $2.60 per share, subject to adjustments (the
“Series H-4 Warrants”). The purchase price per Series
H-4 Share was $235.50, equal to (i) the closing price of our common
stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) on March
7, 2018, plus $0.125 multiplied by (ii) 100. The aggregate purchase
price for the Series H-4 Shares and Series H-4 Warrants was
approximately $6.0 million. The Series H-4 Shares are convertible
into 2,684,300 shares of our common stock.
On
September 5, 2018, we received a request from Nasdaq to amend our
Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series
H-4 Convertible Preferred Stock, originally filed with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 8, 2018 (the
“Certificate of Designations”) to provide that the
Series H-4 Stock may not be converted into shares of our common
stock until we obtain stockholder approval of the issuance of the
common stock underlying the Series H-4 Stock pursuant to the
applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq. On September 10, 2018,
we filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “COD
Amendment”) to the Certificate of Designations to provide for
stockholder approval as described above prior to the conversion of
the Series H-4 Stock.
As of
October 9, 2018, there were 26,843
shares of Series H-4 Stock issued and
outstanding.

shares of our common stock, at a weighted average exercise price of
$4.58 per share.

of our common stock with exercise prices ranging
from $0.60 to $5.52, with an approximate weighted average exercise
price of $1.48 per

below.
Merger Warrants
On April 19, 2018, we entered into separate
Warrant Exchange Agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”)
with the holders (the “Merger Warrant Holders”) of
existing merger warrants (the “Merger Warrants”) to
purchase shares of our common stock, pursuant to which the Merger
Warrant Holders exchanged each Merger Warrant for
1/3rd of
a share of Common Stock (collectively, the “New
Shares”) and ½ of a warrant to purchase a share of our
common stock (collectively, the “Series I Warrants”).
In connection with the Exchange Agreements, we issued an aggregate
of (i) 292,714 New Shares and (ii) Series I Warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 439,070 shares of our common stock. The closing took
place on May 16, 2018.
The
Series I Warrants have an exercise price of $2.30 per share
(reflecting 110% of the market value of our common stock on The
Nasdaq Capital Market as of the close of trading on April 18, 2018,
prior to the entry into the Warrant Exchange Agreements), and do
not contain any price-based anti-dilution protections. In addition,
the Series I Warrants are exercisable for three years from the date
of issuance and contain a mandatory exercise feature if (i) the
volume weighted average price of our common stock equals or exceeds
$4.60 (subject to appropriate adjustments for stock splits, stock
dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassifications,
combinations, reverse stock splits or other similar transactions
after the issuance date) for not less than ten (10) consecutive
trading days (the “Mandatory Exercise Measuring
Period”); (ii) the daily average number of shares of our
common stock traded during the Mandatory Exercise Measuring Period
equals or exceeds 150,000 (subject to appropriate adjustments for
stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations,
reclassifications, combinations, reverse stock splits or other
similar transactions after the issuance date); and (iii) no Equity
Conditions Failure (as defined in the form of Series I Warrant) has
occurred (unless the holder has waived such Equity Conditions
Failure).
The Merger Warrants were originally issued
pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization,
dated as of September 6, 2017, as subsequently amended, by and
among us, DC Acquisition Corporation (“Merger Sub”) and
DropCar Operating Company, Inc. (formerly known as DropCar, Inc.)
(“Private DropCar”), pursuant to which Merger Sub
merged with and into Private DropCar, with Private DropCar
surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the
“Merger”). The Merger was completed on January 30,
2018. The Merger Warrants, which are exercisable to purchase up to
878,146 shares of Common Stock, were issued in exchange for
previously outstanding Private DropCar warrants and have terms
identical to the terms of the Private DropCar warrants for which
they were exchanged, except that the number of shares covered by
the Merger Warrants and the exercise price per share were adjusted
for an exchange ratio of 0.3273.
As of
October 9,2018, there were 0 Merger Warrants issued and
outstanding.
Series H-1 Warrants
During July 2015, we

between $1.63 and $1.66 per share, subject to adjustments (the
“Series H-1 Warrants”). Subject to certain
ownership limitations, the Series H-1 Warrants are immediately
exercisable from the issuance date and will be exercisable for a

shares of our common stock, with an exercise price of $1.38 per
share, subject to adjustments (the “Series H-3
Warrants”). Subject
to certain ownership limitations, the Series H-3 Warrants are
immediately exercisable from the issuance date and will be
exercisable for a period of five years from the issuance
date.
As
of October 9, 2018, there were 84,004 Series H-3 Warrants issued
and outstanding.
Series H-4 Warrants
As described above under “Description of
Capital Stock - Preferred Stock,” in connection with the issuance of the Series H-4
Shares, on March 8, 2018, we issued warrants to purchase
2,684,300 shares of our common
stock, with an exercise
price of $2.60 per share, subject to adjustments (the “Series
H-4 Warrants”). Subject to certain ownership limitations, the
Series H-4 Warrants are immediately exercisable from the issuance
date and will be exercisable for a period of five years from the
issuance date.
On
September 5, 2018, in connection with the Repricing Offer Letter
described below, we received a request from Nasdaq to amend our
Series H-4 Warrants to provide that the Series H-4 Warrants may not
be exercised until we have obtained stockholder approval of the
issuance of our common stock underlying the Series H-4 Warrants
pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq. On
September 10, 2018, we entered into an amendment (the
“Warrant Amendment”) with the holders of our Series H-4
Warrants to provide for stockholder approval as described above
prior to the exercise of the Series H-4 Warrants.
As of
October 9, 2018, there were 1,123,604
Series H-4 Warrants issued and outstanding.
Series J Warrants
On
August 31, 2018, we offered (the “Repricing Offer
Letter”) to the holders (the “H-4 Holders”) of
our Series H-4 Warrants the opportunity to exercise such Series H-4
Warrants for cash at a reduced exercise price of $0.60 per share
(the “Reduced Exercise Price”) provided such Series H-4
Warrants were exercised for cash on or before 5:00 P.M. Eastern
Daylight Time on September 4, 2018 (the “End Date”). In
addition, we issued a “reload” warrant (the
“Series J Warrants”) to each H-4 Holder who exercised
their Series H-4 Warrants prior to the End Date, covering one share
for each Series H-4 Warrant exercised during that period. The terms
of the Series J Warrants are substantially identical to the terms
of the Series H-4 Warrants except that (i) the exercise price is
equal to $1.00, (ii) the Series J Warrants may be exercised at all
times beginning on the 6-month anniversary of the issuance date on
a cash basis and also on a cashless basis as described in Section
2(d) of the Series J Warrant, (iii) the Series J Warrants do not
contain any provisions for anti-dilution adjustment and (iv) we
have the right to require the holders to exercise all or any
portion of the Series J Warrants still unexercised for a cash
exercise if the VWAP (as defined in the Series J Warrant) for our
common stock equals or exceeds $1.50 for not less than ten
consecutive trading days.
On
September 4, 2018, we received executed Repricing Offer Letters
from a majority of the Holders, which resulted in the issuance of
Series J Warrants to purchase up to 1,560,696 shares of our common
stock. We received gross proceeds of approximately $937,000 from
the exercise of the Series H-4 Warrants pursuant to the terms of
the Repricing Offer Letter.
As of
October 9, 2018, there were 1,560,696
Series J Warrants issued and outstanding.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Delaware Law and Our
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Delaware Law
We are
subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law, which prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from
engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder,
generally a person which together with its affiliates owns, or
within the last three years has owned, 15% of our voting stock, for
a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which
the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business
combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Subject to certain
exceptions, Section 203 prevents a publicly held Delaware
corporation from engaging in a “business combination”
with any “interested stockholder” for three years
following the date that the person became an interested
stockholder, unless either the interested stockholder attained such
status with the approval of our board of directors, the business
combination is approved by our board of directors and stockholders
in a prescribed manner or the interested stockholder acquired at
least 85% of our outstanding voting stock in the transaction in
which it became an interested stockholder. A “business
combination” includes, among other things, a merger or
consolidation involving us and the “interested
stockholder” and the sale of more than 10% of our assets. In
general, an “interested stockholder” is any entity or
person beneficially owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting
stock and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or
controlled by such entity or person. The restrictions contained in
Section 203 are not applicable to any of our existing
stockholders that owned 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock
upon the closing of our IPO.
Potential Effects of Authorized but Unissued Stock
We
have shares of common stock and preferred stock available for
future issuance without stockholder approval. We may utilize these
additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including
future public offerings to raise additional capital, to facilitate
corporate acquisitions or payment as a dividend on the capital
stock.
The existence of unissued and unreserved common
stock and preferred stock may enable our Board of Directors to
issue shares to persons friendly to current management or to issue
preferred stock with terms that could render more difficult or
discourage a third-party attempt to obtain control of us by means
of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, thereby
protecting the continuity of our management. In addition, the Board
of Directors has the discretion to determine designations, rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights,
dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and
liquidation preferences of each series of preferred stock, all to
the fullest extent permissible under the Delaware General
Corporation Law and subject to any limitations set forth in
our Certificate of Incorporation. The purpose of authorizing the Board of
Directors to issue preferred stock and to determine the rights and
preferences applicable to such preferred stock is to eliminate
delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances.
The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable
flexibility in connection with possible financings, acquisitions
and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it
more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a
third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting
stock.
Limitations of Director Liability and Indemnification of Directors,
Officers and Employees
Section 145
of the Delaware General Corporation Law, permits indemnification of
directors, officers, agents and controlling persons of a
corporation under certain conditions and subject to certain
limitations. Section 145 empowers a corporation to indemnify
any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a
director, officer or agent of the corporation or another enterprise
if serving at the request of the Company. Depending on the
character of the proceeding, a corporation may indemnify against
expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person
indemnified acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to, the best interests
of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct
was unlawful. In the case of an action by or in the right of the
corporation, no indemnification may be made with respect to any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the
extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action
or suit was brought shall determine that despite the adjudication
of liability such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.
Section 145 further provides that to the extent a present or
former director or officer of a corporation has been successful in
the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or
in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person
shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
therewith.

The
transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Issuer Direct Corporation.

common stock has been publicly traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
The
following description, together with the additional information we
include in any applicable prospectus supplements, summarizes the
material terms and provisions of the debt securities that we may
offer under this prospectus. While the terms we have summarized
below will apply generally to any future debt securities we may
offer pursuant to this prospectus, we will describe the particular
terms of any debt securities that we may offer in more detail in
the applicable prospectus supplement. If we so indicate in a
prospectus supplement, the terms of any debt securities offered
under such prospectus supplement may differ from the terms we
describe below, and to the extent the terms set forth in a
prospectus supplement differ from the terms described below, the
terms set forth in the prospectus supplement shall
control.
We may
sell from time to time, in one or more offerings under this
prospectus, debt securities, which may be senior or subordinated.
We will issue any such senior debt securities under a senior
indenture that we will enter into with a trustee to be named in the
senior indenture. We will issue any such subordinated debt
securities under a subordinated indenture, which we will enter into
with a trustee to be named in the subordinated indenture. We use
the term “indentures” to refer to either the senior
indenture or the subordinated indenture, as applicable. The
indentures will be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939,
as in effect on the date of the indenture. We use the term
“debenture trustee” to refer to either the trustee
under the senior indenture or the trustee under the subordinated
indenture, as applicable.
The
following summaries of material provisions of the senior debt
securities, the subordinated debt securities and the indentures are
subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all
the provisions of the indenture applicable to a particular series
of debt securities.
General
Each
indenture will provide that debt securities may be issued from time
to time in one or more series and may be denominated and payable in
foreign currencies or units based on or relating to foreign
currencies. Neither indenture will limit the amount of debt
securities that may be issued thereunder, and each indenture will
provide that the specific terms of any series of debt securities
shall be set forth in, or determined pursuant to, an authorizing
resolution and/or a supplemental indenture, if any, relating to
such series.
We will
describe in each prospectus supplement the following terms relating
to a series of debt securities:
●
the title or
designation;
●
the aggregate
principal amount and any limit on the amount that may be
issued;
●
the currency or
units based on or relating to currencies in which debt securities
of such series are denominated and the currency or units in which
principal or interest or both will or may be payable;
●
whether we will
issue the series of debt securities in global form, the terms of
any global securities and who the depositary will be;
●
the maturity date
and the date or dates on which principal will be
payable;
●
the interest rate,
which may be fixed or variable, or the method for determining the
rate and the date interest will begin to accrue, the date or dates
interest will be payable and the record dates for interest payment
dates or the method for determining such dates;
●
whether or not the
debt securities will be secured or unsecured, and the terms of any
secured debt;
●
the terms of the
subordination of any series of subordinated debt;
●
the place or places
where payments will be payable;
●
our right, if any,
to defer payment of interest and the maximum length of any such
deferral period;
●
the date, if any,
after which, and the price at which, we may, at our option, redeem
the series of debt securities pursuant to any optional redemption
provisions;
●
the date, if any,
on which, and the price at which we are obligated, pursuant to any
mandatory sinking fund provisions or otherwise, to redeem, or at
the holder’s option to purchase, the series of debt
securities;
●
whether the
indenture will restrict our ability to pay dividends, or will
require us to maintain any asset ratios or reserves;
●
whether we will be
restricted from incurring any additional indebtedness;
●
a discussion on any
material or special U.S. federal income tax considerations
applicable to a series of debt securities;
●
the denominations
in which we will issue the series of debt securities, if other than
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof;
and
●
any other specific
terms, preferences, rights or limitations of, or restrictions on,
the debt securities.
We may
issue debt securities that provide for an amount less than their
stated principal amount to be due and payable upon declaration of
acceleration of their maturity pursuant to the terms of the
indenture. We will provide you with information on the federal
income tax considerations and other special considerations
applicable to any of these debt securities in the applicable
prospectus supplement.
Conversion or Exchange Rights
We will
set forth in the prospectus supplement the terms, if any, on which
a series of debt securities may be convertible into or exchangeable
for our common stock or our other securities. We will include
provisions as to whether conversion or exchange is mandatory, at
the option of the holder or at our option. We may include
provisions pursuant to which the number of shares of our common
stock or our other securities that the holders of the series of
debt securities receive would be subject to
adjustment.
Information Concerning the Debenture Trustee
The
debenture trustee, other than during the occurrence and continuance
of an event of default under the applicable indenture, undertakes
to perform only those duties as are specifically set forth in the
applicable indenture. Upon an event of default under an indenture,
the debenture trustee under such indenture must use the same degree
of care as a prudent person would exercise or use in the conduct of
his or her own affairs. Subject to this provision, the debenture
trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of the powers given
it by the indentures at the request of any holder of debt
securities unless it is offered reasonable security and indemnity
against the costs, expenses and liabilities that it might
incur.
Payment and Paying Agents
Unless
we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we
will make payment of the interest on any debt securities on any
interest payment date to the person in whose name the debt
securities, or one or more predecessor securities, are registered
at the close of business on the regular record date for the
interest.
We will pay principal of and any premium and
interest on the debt securities of a particular series at the
office of the paying agents designated by us, except that unless we
otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will
make interest payments by check which we will mail to the holder.
Unless we otherwise indicate in a prospectus supplement, we will designate the
corporate trust office of the debenture trustee in the City of New
York as our sole paying agent for payments with respect to debt
securities of each series. We will name in the applicable
prospectus supplement any other paying agents that we initially
designate for the debt securities of a particular series. We will
maintain a paying agent in each place of payment for the debt
securities of a particular series.
All
money we pay to a paying agent or the debenture trustee for the
payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any debt
securities which remains unclaimed at the end of two years after
such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable will
be repaid to us, and the holder of the security thereafter may look
only to us for payment thereof.
Governing Law
The
indentures and the debt securities will be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,
except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act is
applicable.
Subordination of Subordinated Debt Securities
Our
obligations pursuant to any subordinated debt securities will be
unsecured and will be subordinate and junior in priority of payment
to certain of our other indebtedness to the extent described in a
prospectus supplement. The subordinated indenture does not limit
the amount of senior indebtedness we may incur. It also does not
limit us from issuing any other secured or unsecured
debt.
DESCRIPTION

We may
issue warrants to our stockholders to purchase shares of our common
stock. We may offer warrants separately or together with one or
more debt securities, common stock or rights, or any combination of

will correspond to the form of the unit and of any security
included in that unit;

on the expiration date for the rights provided in the applicable

properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office

DESCRIPTION OF RIGHTS
General
We may

combination of those securities in the form of units, as described

be issued under a separate rights agreement to be entered into
between us and a bank or trust company, as rights agent. The rights
agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the

and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or

any prospectus supplement may relate and the extent, if any, to
which the general provisions may apply to the rights so offered
will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. To the
extent that any particular terms of the rights, rights agreement or
rights certificates described in a prospectus supplement differ
from any of the terms described below, then the terms described
below will be deemed to have been superseded by that prospectus
supplement. We encourage you to read the applicable rights
agreement and rights certificate for additional information before
you decide whether to purchase any of our rights.
We will
provide in a prospectus supplement the following terms of the
rights being issued:
●
the date of
determining the stockholders entitled to the rights
distribution;
●
the aggregate
number of shares of common stock or other securities purchasable
upon exercise of the rights;
●
the aggregate
number of rights issued;
●
whether the rights

●
any other terms of

the distribution, exchange and exercise of the rights, as
applicable.
Each
right will entitle the holder of rights to purchase for cash the
principal amount of shares of common stock or other securities at
the exercise price provided in the applicable prospectus
supplement. Rights may be exercised at any time up to the close of
business on the expiration date for the rights provided in the
applicable prospectus supplement.
Holders
may exercise rights as described in the applicable prospectus
supplement. Upon receipt of payment and the rights certificate
properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office
of the rights agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus
supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, forward the shares of
common stock or other securities, as applicable, purchasable upon
exercise of the rights. If less than all of the rights issued in
any rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed
securities directly to persons other than stockholders, to or
through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of
such methods, including pursuant to standby arrangements, as
described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Rights
Agent
The
rights agent for any rights we offer will be set forth in the
applicable prospectus supplement.
DESCRIPTION OF UNITS
The
following description, together with the additional information
that we include in any applicable prospectus supplements summarizes
the material terms and provisions of the units that we may offer
under this prospectus. While the terms we have summarized below
will apply generally to any units that we may offer under this
prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of
units in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The
terms of any units offered under a prospectus supplement may differ
from the terms described below.
We will
incorporate by reference from reports that we file with the SEC,
the form of unit agreement that describes the terms of the series
of units we are offering, and any supplemental agreements, before
the issuance of the related series of units. The following
summaries of material terms and provisions of the units are subject
to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the
provisions of the unit agreement and any supplemental agreements
applicable to a particular series of units. We urge you to read the
applicable prospectus supplements related to the particular series
of units that we may offer under this prospectus, as well as any
related free writing prospectuses and the complete unit agreement
and any supplemental agreements that contain the terms of the
units.
General
We may
issue units consisting of common stock, one or more debt
securities, warrants or rights for the purchase of common stock
and/or debt securities in one or more series, in any combination.
Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the
holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a
unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each
security included in the unit. The unit agreement under which a
unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit
may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any
time before a specified date.
We will
describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the
series of units being offered, including:
●
the designation and
terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units,
including whether and under what circumstances those securities may
be held or transferred separately;
●
any provisions of
the governing unit agreement that differ from those described
below; and
●
any provisions for
the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the
units or of the securities comprising the units.
The
provisions described in this section, as well as those set forth in
any prospectus supplement or as described under “Description
of Capital Stock,” “Description of Debt
Securities,” “Description of Warrants” and
“Description of Rights” will apply to each unit, as
applicable, and to any common stock, debt security, warrant or
right included in each unit, as applicable.
Unit Agent
The
name and address of the unit agent for any units we offer will be
set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Issuance in Series
We may
issue units in such amounts and in such numerous distinct series as
we determine.
Enforceability of Rights by Holders of Units
Each unit agent will act solely as our agent
under the applicable unit agreement and will not assume any
obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of
any unit. A single bank or trust company may act as unit agent for
more than one series of units. A unit agent will have no duty or
responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable
unit agreement or unit, including any duty or responsibility to
initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any
holder of a unit may, without the consent of the related unit agent
or the holder of any other unit, enforce by appropriate legal
action its rights as holder under any security included in the
unit.
Provisions
of Delaware Law Governing Business Combinations
We are
subject to the “business combination” provisions of
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In
general, such provisions prohibit a publicly held Delaware
corporation from engaging in any “business combination”
transactions with any “interested stockholder” for a
period of three years after the date on which the person became an
“interested stockholder,” unless:
●
prior to such date,
the board of directors approved either the “business
combination” or the transaction which resulted in the
“interested stockholder” obtaining such status;
or
●
upon consummation
of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an
“interested stockholder,” the “interested
stockholder” owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the
corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced,
excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding
(but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the
“interested stockholder”) those shares owned by
(a) persons who are directors and also officers and
(b) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not
have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held
subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer;
or
●
at or subsequent to
such time the “business combination” is approved by the
board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting
of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative
vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is
not owned by the “interested stockholder.”
A
“business combination” is defined to include mergers,
asset sales and other transactions resulting in financial benefit
to a stockholder. In general, an “interested
stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and
associates, owns 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock
or within three years did own 15% or more of a corporation’s
voting stock. The statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other
takeover or change in control attempts with respect to us and,
accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire us.
Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and
Directors
Section 145 of
the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award,
or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to
directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such
indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities
(including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the
Securities Act of 1933. Our Certificate of Incorporation limits the
liability of our officers and directors to the fullest extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, and our
Certificate of Incorporation provides that we will indemnify our
officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by such
law.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons
controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The
selling stockholders indicated below may resell from time to time
in whole or in part up to 1,560,696 shares of common stock issuable
upon the exercise of the Series J Warrants.
The
