Moreover, such representations, warranties or covenants were accurate only as of the date when made.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference and any applicable amendment to this prospectus or prospectus supplement and free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering may contain “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”). These statements relate to future events or to our future operating or financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference and any applicable amendment to this prospectus or prospectus supplement and free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial condition, expectations, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “design,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potentially,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions.

We have based these forward-looking statements on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of future performance, considering the information currently available to us. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including risks described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus and in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as any amendments thereto reflected in subsequent filings with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus in their entirety, together with other information in this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein and any applicable amendment to this prospectus or prospectus supplement and free writing prospectus that we may authorize for use in connection with this offering. These factors include, among other things: (1) our history of net losses, (2) changes in global economic and market conditions; (3) our ability to generate the required productivity, stability, purity, performance, cost, safety and other data necessary to carry out and implement our biopharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical research and business plans and strategic initiatives; (4) our ability to retain and attract employees, consultants, directors and advisors; (5) our ability to implement and successfully carry out Dyadic’s and third parties’ research and development efforts; (6) our ability to obtain new license and research agreements; (7) our ability to maintain existing access to, and/or expand access to third-party contract research organizations and other service providers in order to carry out our research and development projects and commercial activities for ourselves and third parties; (8) competition, including from alternative technologies, and reliance on our key customers and collaborators; (9) our ability, and the ability of the contract research organizations and other third-party service providers with whom we are currently working or may work in the future, to advance product candidates into, and successfully complete, preclinical studies, non-clinical and clinical trials; (10) failure to commercialize our microbial protein production platforms or our other technologies; (11) market and regulatory acceptance of our microbial protein production platforms and other technologies; (12) the risk of theft, misappropriation or expiration of owned or licensed proprietary and intellectual property, genetic and biological materials owned by us and/or Danisco US, Inc. and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd., and contract research organizations that we engage with; (13) the speculative nature and illiquidity of equity securities received as consideration from sub-licenses; (14) our ability to comply with the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and (15) other factors discussed in the Company’s publicly available filings, including information set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our other SEC filings.

The forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of future performance, considering the information currently available to us. These statements are only predictions based upon our current expectations and projections about future events. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in a highly regulated, competitive and rapidly changing environment. Our competitors have far greater resources, infrastructure and market presence than we do which makes it difficult for us to enter certain markets, and/or to gain or maintain customers. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this prospectus or to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations.

You should read this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference and any applicable amendment to this prospectus or prospectus supplement and free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering completely and with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and achievements may be different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

Before you decide to invest in our common stock, you should carefully read and consider the more detailed information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and any applicable amendment to this prospectus or prospectus supplement and free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering, including the risk factors included or incorporated by reference herein and therein.

Overview

Dyadic International, Inc. is a global biotechnology company based in Jupiter, Florida, with operations in the United States and the Netherlands. The Company develops, manufactures, and commercializes precision-engineered, animal-free recombinant proteins and enzymes for applications in life sciences, food and nutrition, and bio-industrial markets.

We were incorporated in Delaware in September 2002, under the name “Dyadic International, Inc.” and effective August 1, 2025, have been doing business as Dyadic Applied BioSolutions. Our principal corporate offices are located at 1044 North U.S. Highway One, Suite 201, Jupiter, FL 33477. Our telephone number is (561) 743-8333. Our website is www.dyadic.com. Information accessed through our website is not incorporated into this prospectus and is not a part of this prospectus.

Our common stock has been listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “DYAI” since April 17, 2019.

Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company

We are a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter or our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter. Accordingly, we may provide less public disclosure than larger public companies, including the inclusion of only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations disclosure. As a result, the information that we provide to our stockholders may be different than what you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.

RISK FACTORS

Investment in the shares of common stock offered pursuant to this prospectus involves risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors described below, as well as the risk factors described under the caption “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes, as may be updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act, and in any applicable amendment to this prospectus or prospectus supplement and free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering before acquiring shares of our common stock. Our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Relating to this Offering

The sale of the shares of our common stock by the Selling Stockholders, or the perception that such sales could occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

The Selling Stockholders can resell, under this prospectus, up to 3,625,000 shares of our common stock. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock or other equity-related securities in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common stock or cause it to be highly volatile and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of common stock or other equity-related securities would have on the market price of our common stock.

Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from any exercise of the Warrants, and may not use the proceeds effectively.

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the proceeds we receive from the exercise of the Warrants, including for any of the purposes described in the section titled “Use of Proceeds,” and you will not have the opportunity as part of your investment decision to assess whether the proceeds we receive from the exercise of the Warrants are being used appropriately. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the proceeds we receive from the exercise of the Warrants, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. Our management could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, delay the development of our product candidates and cause the price of our common stock to decline. See the section titled “Use of Proceeds” below.

We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our common stock, and any return to investors is expected to come, if at all, only from potential increases in the price of our common stock.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock, and you should not rely on an investment in our common stock to provide dividend income. We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Any sale of the shares of our common stock by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus will be solely for Selling Stockholders’ accounts. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the Selling Stockholders. We have agreed to bear the expenses relating to the registration of the shares of common stock for the Selling Stockholders.

We intend to use any proceeds received by us from the exercise of the Warrants for general corporate purposes, including for research and development, sales and marketing initiatives and general administrative expenses, working capital and capital expenditures. In addition, we may use a portion of the proceeds received by us from the exercise of the Warrants for potential acquisitions and other strategic transactions, although we have no current plans, commitments or agreements to do so as of the date of this prospectus.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have not paid dividends on our common stock, and currently do not plan to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following description summarizes the material terms and provisions of the common stock, but it is not complete. This description is based upon, and is qualified by reference to, our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, our Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws and applicable provisions of Delaware corporate law. You should read our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws, which have been publicly filed with the SEC, for the provisions that are important to you.

General

Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes us to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share. As of September 10, 2026, there were 40,063,703 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, held by 45 stockholders of record. There are currently no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Common Stock

Voting Rights: Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights and are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by stockholders.

Dividends: Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably, from funds legally available for the payment thereof, dividends when and as declared by resolution of our board of directors, subject to any preferential dividend rights which may be granted to holders of any preferred stock authorized and issued by the board of directors. Delaware law allows a corporation to pay dividends only out of surplus, as determined under Delaware law. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Other Rights: Our common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights and is not subject to redemption, including sinking fund provisions, or conversion. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the assets, if any, legally available for distribution to stockholders are distributable ratably among the holders of common stock after payment of all classes or series of preferred stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to the preferential rights of all classes or series of preferred stock that may be issued in the future.

Options, Restricted Stock Units and Warrants Convertible into Common Stock

As of September 10, 2026, there were outstanding options entitling the holders to purchase 4,952,915 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $2.71 per share (as of June 30, 2026). As of September 10, 2026, there were also 162,182 unvested restricted stock units in addition to 2,219,008 shares of common stock available for grant under the 2021 Equity Incentive Award Plan.

There are currently outstanding warrants to purchase 3,927,600 shares of our common stock. For more information on the outstanding Warrants, see the section titled “Description of Warrants.”

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, with the following exceptions:

● before such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

● upon closing of the transaction that 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 began, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned (i) by persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) 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

● on or after such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

In general, Section 203 defines a “business combination” to include the following:

● any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;

● any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder;

● subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;

● any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock or any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or

● the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits by or through the corporation.

In general, Section 203 defines an “interested stockholder” as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with, or controlling, or controlled by, the entity or person. The term “owner” is broadly defined to include any person that, individually, with or through that person’s affiliates or associates, among other things, beneficially owns the stock, or has the right to acquire the stock, whether or not the right is immediately exercisable, under any agreement or understanding or upon the exercise of warrants or options or otherwise or has the right to vote the stock under any agreement or understanding, or has an agreement or understanding with the beneficial owner of the stock for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of the stock.

A Delaware corporation may “opt out” of these provisions with an express provision in its original certificate of incorporation or an express provision in its amended and restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws resulting from a stockholders’ amendment approved by at least a majority of the outstanding voting shares. We have not opted out of these provisions. As a result, Section 203 could delay or prohibit mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts with respect to us and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire us even though such a transaction may offer our stockholders the opportunity to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing market price.

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Provisions of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws may delay or discourage transactions involving an actual or potential change in our control or change in our management, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares, or transactions that our stockholders might otherwise deem to be in their best interests. Therefore, these provisions could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Among other things, our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws contain the following provisions:

● Staggered Board: The board of directors is composed of three classes of directors who serve staggered three-year terms so that only one-third of the directors are eligible for election at any annual meeting of stockholders, and cumulative voting in the election of directors is specifically denied.

● Elimination of Stockholder Action by Written Consent: Any action permitted to be taken by the Company’s stockholders is required to be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and cannot be effected by a written consent.

● Special Meeting of Stockholders: The Company’s stockholders will not be permitted to call a special meeting of stockholders, and the only business matters permitted to be conducted at any annual or special meeting of stockholders will be business matters properly brought before that meeting in accordance with specified procedures.

● Board Vacancies and Removals: The board of directors establishes the number of directors, and vacancies on the board of directors must be filled by a majority approval of the remaining directors, and directors may not be removed by stockholder action without cause.

● Procedures for Stockholder Nominations and Proposals: Specific procedures are established for stockholder nominations for directors and stockholder proposals of business to be considered at an annual or special meeting of stockholders.

● Amendment or Repeal of Bylaws: The board of directors is empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws, while our stockholders may adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws only upon an affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote.

● Undesignated Preferred Stock: The board of directors has the power to designate and establish new classes of preferred stock having terms that the board of directors determines to be advisable. If in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal was not in the Company’s best interest, shares of common stock or preferred stock could be issued by the board of directors without stockholder approval in one or more transactions.

● Approval of Certain Matters: With respect to extraordinary matters that are brought to the Company’s stockholders for a vote, including the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, a merger, a consolidation, the conversion of the Company into another type of entity or the amendment of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, unless that matter is affirmatively recommended by the board of directors, its approval will require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote.

● Choice of Forum. Unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the sole and exclusive forum for (A) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (B) any action or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (C) any action or proceeding asserting a claim against the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws, or (D) any action or proceeding asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The choice of forum provision does not apply to any actions arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The foregoing provisions may be amended or repealed only with the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification

Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws contain provisions that allow us to limit the liability of our current and former directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for:

● any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;

● any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

● unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or

● any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Such limitation of liability does not apply to liabilities arising under federal securities laws and does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.

Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that we generally will indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents to the extent and in the manner permitted by the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended from time to time. However, we may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and officers. Any repeal or modification of these provisions approved by our stockholders will be prospective only and will not adversely affect any limitation on the liability of any of our directors or officers existing as of the time of such repeal or modification.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers, whereby we have agreed to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law, including indemnification against expenses and liabilities incurred in legal proceedings to which the director or officer was, or is threatened to be made, a party by reason of the fact that such director or officer is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of Dyadic, provided that such director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner that the director or officer reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of Dyadic.

We maintain insurance policies that indemnify our directors and officers against various liabilities arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, that might be incurred by any director or officer in his capacity as such.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

The following description summarizes the material terms and provisions of the Warrants, but it is not complete. This description is based upon, and is qualified by reference to, the provisions contained in the Warrants, the form of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Duration and Exercise Price

Each Warrant has an exercise price per share equal to $0.84. The Warrants are immediately exercisable and will expire on the five-year anniversary of the Release Date (as defined in the Warrant Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined below)).

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our shares of common stock and the exercise price.

Exercisability

The Warrants are exercisable, at the option of the 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 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 Warrants to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the outstanding shares of common stock immediately after exercise. However, upon notice from the holder to us, the holder may decrease or increase the holder’s beneficial ownership limitation, which may not exceed 9.99% of the number of outstanding shares of common stock immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, provided that any increase in the beneficial ownership limitation will not take effect until 61 days following notice to us. Purchasers in this offering may also elect, prior to the issuance of the Warrants, to have the initial exercise limitation set at 9.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will either pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price or round up to the next whole share. On the Termination Date (as defined in the Warrant), any unexercised Warrant will be automatically exercised via cashless exercise, subject to the beneficial ownership limitation described above.

Cashless Exercise

If at the time a holder exercises its Warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available and an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is not available for the issuance of such shares, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Warrants.

Transferability

Subject to applicable laws, a Warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the Warrant to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

Exchange Listing

There is no trading market available for the Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system. We do not intend to list the Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

Right as a Stockholder

Except as otherwise provided in the Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of our shares of common stock, the holders of the Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our shares of common stock, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises their Warrants.

Fundamental Transaction

In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our shares of common stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding shares of common stock, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of more than 50% of the voting power represented by our outstanding shares of common stock, the holders of the Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction. Additionally, as more fully described in the Warrants, in the event of certain fundamental transactions, the holders of the Warrants will be entitled to receive consideration in an amount equal to the Black Scholes value of the Warrants on the date of consummation of the transaction.

PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF WARRANTS

As previously disclosed, on August 13, 2026, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Warrant Securities Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the purchasers thereto (the “Warrant Purchasers”) in a private placement (the “Private Placement”), the Warrants to purchase 3,625,000 shares of common stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at a purchase price of $0.005 per Warrant and with an exercise price of $0.84 per share.

In connection with the Private Placement, on August 13, 2026, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Warrant Purchasers pursuant to which the Company has agreed to file a registration statement to register the resale of the Warrant Shares within 30 days after the closing of the Private Placement. The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and customary penalties for failure to have the registration statement timely filed or declared effective.

This registration statement is being filed to register the Warrant Shares pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The shares of our common stock being offered by the Selling Stockholders are those issuable to the Selling Stockholders upon exercise of the Warrants. For additional information regarding the issuances of those Warrants, see the section titled “Private Placement of Warrants” above. We are registering the shares of our common stock in order to permit the Selling Stockholders to offer the shares of our common stock for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the shares of our common stock and the Warrants, the Selling Stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

The table below lists the Selling Stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of our common stock by each of the Selling Stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by each Selling Stockholder, based on its ownership of the shares of our common stock and Warrants, as of September 10, 2026, assuming exercise of the Warrants held by the Selling Stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises. The fourth column lists the shares of our common stock being offered by this prospectus by the Selling Stockholders. The fifth and sixth columns assume the sale of all of the shares of our common stock offered by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.

In accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement with the Selling Stockholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the maximum number of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, determined as if the outstanding Warrants were exercised in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC, as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination and all subject to adjustment as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants.

Under the terms of the Warrants, a Selling Stockholder may not exercise the Warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such Selling Stockholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of our common stock which would exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding shares of common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants that have not been exercised. The numbers of shares of our common stock in the second and fourth columns do not reflect this limitation, but the percentages set forth in the third and sixth columns do give effect to such limitations. The Selling Stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares of our common stock in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each Selling Stockholder of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal trading market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

	●	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

	●	block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

	●	purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

	●	an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

	●	privately negotiated transactions;

	●	settlement of short sales;

	●	in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

	●	through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

	●	a combination of any such methods of sale; or

	●	any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the securities being offered hereby will be passed upon by White & Case LLP, New York, New York.
