PROSPECTUS

Filed Pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3)

Registration No. 333-297839

Up to 6,086,069 Shares of Common Stock

This prospectus relates to the offering and resale by the Selling Stockholders identified herein of up to an aggregate of 6,086,069 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), consisting of (i) 2,968,814 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Class A Warrants”), (ii) 2,968,814 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Class B Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Class B Warrants”), and (iii) 148,441 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of placement agent warrants issued to Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. (the “Placement Agent”) in connection with the Prior Offering (as defined below) (the “Placement Agent Warrants”). The Class A Warrants, the Class B Warrants, and the Placement Agent Warrants are collectively referred to herein as the “Common Warrants.” The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants are referred to herein as the “Warrant Shares.”

The Class A Warrants and the Class B Warrants were sold to a Selling Stockholder in a private offering and concurrent registered direct offering of common stock and pre-funded warrants that closed on July 1, 2026 (the “Prior Offering”), and the Placement Agent Warrants were issued to the Placement Agent in connection with the closing of the Prior Offering.

We are registering the resale of the Warrant Shares pursuant to our obligations in connection with the Prior Offering. We are not selling any shares of Common Stock in this offering, and we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the Selling Stockholders. However, we may receive proceeds from the cash exercise of the Common Warrants.

Our Common Stock is listed on the NYSE American LLC under the symbol “INUV.” The last reported sale price of our Common Stock on August 6, 2026 was $1.02 per share. This price will fluctuate based on the demand for our Common Stock. The Common Stock offered by this prospectus may also be offered by the Selling Stockholders to or through underwriters, dealers, or other agents, directly to investors, or through any other manner permitted by law, on a continued or delayed basis. We provide additional information about how the Selling Stockholder may sell its shares of Common Stock in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 10 of this prospectus.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” in the section entitled “Risk Factors” on page 6 of this prospectus for a discussion of certain risk factors that should be considered by prospective purchasers of the Common Stock offered under this prospectus.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. While this summary highlights what we consider to be important information about us, you should carefully read this entire prospectus before investing in our Common Stock, especially the risks and other information we discuss under the heading “Risk Factors” included herein. Unless otherwise indicated or the context requires otherwise, the words “we,” “us,” “our”, the “Company” or “our Company” or refer to Inuvo, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Our Company

Inuvo is a market leader in generative artificial intelligence for modeling media audiences. As a leading provider of AI-driven data and advertising technology solutions, we have successfully commercialized a proprietary, patented large language model (LLM) that identifies and actions the reasons why consumers are interested in products, services, or brands - rather than who they are - offering a high-performance, privacy-by-design solution for the modern advertising landscape.

Intelligence for the Agentic Era. As the industry moves toward “agentic” systems - where autonomous AI agents increasingly handle the planning and execution of media tasks – we are uniquely positioned as a critical, media audience decisioning layer. Unlike legacy systems that rely on static historical data or consumer IDs (cookies), our technology provides the real-time, intent-based reasoning required for autonomous media planning and activation. By serving as the neural network for these adaptive systems, we enable brands to move from traditional audience targeting to dynamic model planning & activation.

Our core competitive advantage lies in intent discovery. While the programmatic industry has traditionally relied on reaching known users based on past behavior, our AI discovers new, high-value audiences as their motivations form.

This intelligence is delivered through a suite of advanced visualization and compliance tools:

	·	Our flagship proprietary AI, IntentKey®, analyzes live content consumption across the open web, mapping human motivation to a concept graph of over 25 million ideas. This allows us to predict purchase intent with precision, often identifying emerging audience shifts 24 hours before they become competitive in the open market. This, in turn, delivers targeting leverage that translates to superior supply/demand yields within bid streams. Speed of insight-to-execution is our competitive advantage. IntentKey delivers value from intent signals in-the-moment and unlocks superior ROAS (return on ad spend) by matching high yield ad inventories in the bid stream before competitors have even identified consumer intent.
	·	IntentPath: A first-of-its-kind visualization that allows marketers to see “intent-in-motion,” mapping the real-time journey from initial discovery to final purchasing decision.
	·	Ranger: An AI-powered quality assurance feature within our Campsight system that ensures ad creatives remain consistent, accurate and compliant across digital networks.

Inuvo delivers these capabilities through two primary business channels:

	·	Audience Modeling (formerly Agencies and Brands): Managed and self-service offerings that utilize Inuvo’s intelligence layer for precision audience discovery and brand-safe activation across CTV, Video, Audio, Native, and Display channels.
	·	Legacy Search (formerly Platforms): Inuvo provides strategic integrations for large consolidators of advertising demand. This business is optimized to prioritize advertising quality, scalability, and compliance, leveraging AI to align merchant messaging with online content in a durable, defensible manner.

Our competitive moat and intellectual property are protected by 15 issued and three pending patents issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Our IP portfolio includes patents, trade secrets and trademarks. We actively seek to protect our IP rights and to deter unauthorized use of our IP and other assets. While our IP rights are important to our success, our business is not significantly dependent on any single patent, trademark, or other IP rights.

Recent Developments

Non-Dilutive Financing

On June 29, 2026, the Company entered into and closed a note purchase agreement to which Inuvo issued two secured promissory notes: (i) a promissory note in the original principal amount of $4.142 million carrying an interest rate of 9.0% and an original issue discount of $342,000, and (ii) a promissory note in the original principal amount of $6.2 million carrying an interest rate of 5% with no original issue discount. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from the promissory notes was $10 million, of which $3.8 million was received immediately upon closing and the remaining $6.2 million was placed into a collateralized deposit account, $1.2 million of which will be released upon completion of the registered direct offering described below and the remaining to be released upon compliance with terms of the financing. These funds were used to retire the Company’s outstanding convertible promissory notes, including accrued interest totaling approximately $2.8 million, and replace them with longer-term financing. In addition, the transaction also repaid and terminated the Company’s receivables-based credit facility. Following the closing of the transaction, Inuvo has no outstanding convertible debt and no amounts outstanding under its prior receivables-based credit facility. Inuvo intends to use the remaining net proceeds for working capital purposes.

Significant Business Trends

Our business results have been, or are expected to be, impacted by several trends and strategic activities, which are described below. We expect that the trends described below may continue to impact our results of operations, cash flows, and financial position.

Forces Impacting the Industry

The digital advertising industry in which we operate is experiencing structural change driven by privacy-related regulation, browser and platform policy changes, and changing consumer behaviors, particularly as it relates to consumer use of artificial intelligence in information-gathering. These factors have, among other things, led to a wider distribution of consumer intent signals across media platforms and has reduced availability and utility of third-party cookies and other persistent identifiers that are used by legacy advertising technology platforms to ensure advertising alignment and yield a return on investment for advertisers. As a result, there has been an adverse impact on the entire search ecosystem.

In addition, the industry has experienced an increase in sophisticated technologies, often nefarious, that have allowed lower quality traffic to masquerade as legitimate, high-intent consumer demand. This has further driven technology companies that control search engines, browsers, and other technologies, to strengthen compliance requirements for their digital advertising partners to improve the integrity of online traffic.

Inuvo Response

In response to the systemic industry changes above, we have taken the following actions:

Bonfire platform reset. In response to more stringent compliance requirements, including changes in the Google ecosystem which have suppressed revenue per click (RPC), and as a result of the detection of lower quality traffic on our systems, we developed and deployed an AI compliance system (Ranger) to not only enforce our partners’ stricter standards, but to reveal quality differences that had previously been difficult to detect at scale. While this allowed us to take action against bad actors, it also necessitated that we intentionally constrain Bonfire-related revenue in order to have clearer visibility and insight into traffic quality (Bonfire Reset). As a result, revenue from our Legacy Search business was lower year-over-year beginning in late fourth quarter 2025 and continued to be lower year-over-year in the first quarter of 2026. As our Legacy Search business generates a higher gross margin and lower operating margin compared to the Audience Modeling business, lower revenue from Legacy Search has also constrained our consolidated gross margins. We have taken, and continue to take, steps to lower costs in our Legacy Search business, including reducing headcount. We currently expect this business to recover gradually as the year progresses, but there can be no guarantees that it will fully recover.

Table of Contents

Investment focus on IntentKey. We believe IntentKey is positioned to benefit from the aforementioned industry shifts because it is designed to operate as a privacy-safe decisioning layer that does not rely on cookies or persistent identifiers. We further believe that the adoption of autonomous and AI-enabled workflows may increase demand for algorithmic software, like IntentKey, that can translate intent signals into real-time activation across programmatic environments. As a result, we are focused on growing and enhancing the IntentKey AI product. To the extent we are successful in accelerating IntentKey revenue and that IntentKey becomes a larger portion of our overall revenue mix, we expect that direct operating margins will also increase, as Audience Modeling has historically yielded higher direct operating margins than our Legacy Search business.

Additional Information

Please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on March 5, 2026, and our other subsequent filings with the SEC for additional information about our business, operations and financial condition.

Corporate Information

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in October 1987 and originally operated within the oil and gas industry. This endeavor was not profitable, and as a result from 1993 to 1997 the Company had essentially no operations. In 1997, the business was reorganized and through 2006 several companies were acquired from within the advertising and internet marketing industry. In 2009, following the weakness in the economy, a new team was called in to assess the array of businesses that had been acquired in the preceding years and as a result between 2009 and 2011, that team sold and/or retired eleven businesses as a part of the restructuring that became the foundation of Inuvo, Inc.

Our principal executive offices are located at 500 President Clinton Boulevard, Suite 300, Little Rock, AR 72201, and our telephone number is (501) 205-8508. Our fiscal year end is December 31. We maintain a corporate website at www.inuvo.com. Except as specifically set forth herein, the information which appears on our website at www.inuvo.com is not a part of the prospectus or this prospectus supplement.

RISK FACTORS

Before you invest in our securities, you should be aware that our business faces numerous financial and market risks, including those described below, as well as general economic and business risks. Our securities are speculative, and you should not make an investment in the Company unless you can afford to bear the loss of your entire investment. Prior to making a decision about investing in our Common Stock, you should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed under Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 as updated by our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which are incorporated herein by reference, together with the information in this prospectus and any other information incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Before you decide whether to invest in our securities, you should carefully consider these risks and uncertainties, together with all of the other information included in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus. The risks and uncertainties identified are not the only risks and uncertainties we face. If any of the material risks or uncertainties that we face were to occur, you could lose part or all of your investment.

Risks Related to this Offering

The issuance of our Common Stock upon exercise of the Common Warrants may cause dilution and the sale of the shares of Common Stock acquired by the Selling Stockholders, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of our Common Stock to decrease.

The shares of our Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Common Warrants and the sale of such shares may cause the trading price of our Common Stock to decrease.

Further, we are not restricted from issuing additional securities in the future, including our Common Stock, securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, our Common Stock or substantially similar securities. To the extent that we raise additional funds through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities will result in dilution to our stockholders.

The Selling Stockholders may choose to sell the shares at prices below the current market price.

The Selling Stockholders are not restricted as to the prices at which they may sell or otherwise dispose of the shares covered by this prospectus. Sales or other dispositions of the shares below the then-current market price could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

We do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future; you should not buy our stock if you expect dividends.

We have never paid a dividend on our common stock. The determination of whether to pay dividends on our common stock in the future will depend on several factors, including without limitation, our earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as our board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates. We currently intend to retain our future earnings to support operations and to finance expansion and, therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

We could issue preferred stock without stockholder approval with the effect of diluting then current stockholder interests and impairing their voting rights; and provisions in our charter documents could discourage a takeover that stockholders may consider favorable.

Our articles of incorporation, as amended, authorizes the issuance of up to 500,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors. Our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue a series of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could dilute the interest of, or impair the voting power of, our common stockholders. The issuance of a series of preferred stock could be used as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control. For example, it would be possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of our company.

Table of Contents

We may seek to raise additional funds, finance acquisitions or develop strategic relationships by issuing securities that would dilute the ownership of the Common Stock. Depending on the terms available to us, if these activities result in significant dilution, it may negatively impact the trading price of our shares of Common Stock.

We have financed our acquisitions and the development of strategic relationships by issuing equity securities and may continue to do so in the future, which could significantly reduce the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. Further, any additional financing that we secure may require the granting of rights, preferences or privileges senior to, or pari passu with, those of our Common Stock. Any issuances by us of equity securities may be at or below the prevailing market price of our Common Stock and in any event may have a dilutive impact on your ownership interest, which could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline. We may also raise additional funds through the incurrence of debt or the issuance or sale of other securities or instruments senior to our shares of Common Stock. The holders of any securities or instruments we may issue may have rights superior to the rights of our common stockholders. If we experience dilution from issuance of additional securities and we grant superior rights to new securities over common stockholders, it may negatively impact the trading price of our shares of Common Stock.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our Common Stock adversely, our Common Stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our shares of Common Stock will be influenced by many factors, including without limitation, the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our market or our competitors. If any of the analysts who may cover us change their recommendation regarding our Common Stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, our share price would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover us were to cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our Common Stock price or trading volume to decline.

Our quarterly operating results can be difficult to predict and can fluctuate substantially, which could result in volatility in the price of our Common Stock.

Our quarterly revenues and other operating results have varied in the past and are likely to continue to vary significantly from quarter to quarter. Our agreements with distribution partners and key customers do not require minimum levels of usage or payments, and our revenues therefore fluctuate based on the actual usage of our service each quarter by existing and new distribution partners. Quarterly fluctuations in our operating results also might be due to numerous other factors, including:

	·	our ability to attract new distribution partners, including the length of our sales cycles, or to sell increased usage of our service to existing distribution partners;

	·	technical difficulties or interruptions in our services;

	·	changes in privacy protection and other governmental regulations applicable to our industry;

	·	changes in our pricing policies or the pricing policies of our competitors;

	·	the financial condition and business success of our distribution partners;

	·	purchasing and budgeting cycles of our distribution partners;

Table of Contents

	·	acquisitions of businesses and products by us or our competitors;

	·	competition, including entry into the market by new competitors or new offerings by existing competitors;

	·	discounts offered to advertisers by upstream advertising networks;

	·	our history of litigation;

	·	our ability to hire, train and retain sufficient sales, client management and other personnel;

	·	timing of development, introduction and market acceptance of new services or service enhancements by us or our competitors;

	·	concentration of marketing expenses for activities such as trade shows and advertising campaigns;

	·	expenses related to any new or expanded data centers; and

	·	general economic and financial market conditions.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

This prospectus relates to the possible resale by the Selling Stockholders identified in the table below of up to an aggregate of 6,086,069 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Common Warrants. For additional information regarding the issuance of the Common Warrants, see “The Offering.”

The table below sets forth certain information, to our knowledge, regarding the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders as of July 23, 2026, and the shares of Common Stock being offered by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus. The information in the table below with respect to the Selling Stockholders has been obtained from the respective Selling Stockholders or is based on the Company’s books and records. When we refer to the “Selling Stockholders” in this prospectus, or, if required, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, we mean the Selling Stockholders listed in the table below as offering shares, as well as their respective donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest.

Table of Contents

Because the Selling Stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares of Common Stock, we cannot estimate the number of shares of Common Stock that will be held by the Selling Stockholders upon completion of this offering. The fourth column assumes the sale of all shares offered by each Selling Stockholder pursuant to this prospectus.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to our Common Stock. Generally, a person “beneficially owns” shares of our Common Stock if the person has or shares with others the right to vote those shares or to dispose of them, or if the person has the right to acquire voting or disposition rights within 60 days. The inclusion of any shares in this table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership for any Selling Stockholder named below.

(1)	The number of shares of our common stock under “Maximum Number of Shares of Common Stock Being Offered” represents all of the shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Common Warrants held by a Selling Stockholder that a Selling Stockholder may offer and sell from time to time under this prospectus, without giving effect to the beneficial ownership limitations described herein. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Common Warrants will become eligible for sale by the Selling Stockholders under this prospectus only when such warrants are exercised. We cannot predict when or whether any of the Selling Stockholders will exercise their Common Warrants.
(2)	We do not know when or in what amounts a Selling Stockholder may offer shares for sale. The Selling Stockholders might not sell any or might sell all of the shares offered by this prospectus. Because the Selling Stockholders may offer all or some of the shares pursuant to this offering, and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the shares, we cannot estimate the number of the shares that will be held by the Selling Stockholders after completion of the offering. However, for purposes of this table, we have assumed that, after completion of the offering, each Selling Stockholder exercises all of their Common Warrants, and none of the shares covered by this prospectus will be held by the Selling Stockholders.
(3)	The shares reported under “Shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned Prior to the Offering” consist of (i) 1,370,222 shares of Common Stock, (ii) 1,337,693 shares of Common Stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants, (iii) 2,968,814 shares of Common Stock underlying Class A Warrants, and (iv) 2,968,814 shares of Common Stock underlying Class B Warrants held by Armistice Capital Fund, Ltd.

The Pre-Funded Warrants, Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants are subject to beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% (9.99% for the Pre-Funded Warrants or at such stockholder’s election), which such limitation restricts such Selling Stockholder from exercising that portion of such warrants that would result in such Selling Stockholder and its affiliates owning, after exercise, a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the beneficial ownership limitation. The share amounts shown do not account for such beneficial ownership limitations. The address of Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. is c/o Armistice Capital, LLC, 510 Madison Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10022.
(4)	The shares reported under “Shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned Prior to the Offering” consist of 148,441 shares of Common Stock underlying the Placement Agent Warrants held by Ladenburg Thalmann & Co.

	·	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 of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

In connection with the sale of the 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 1933 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 1933 Act. The Selling Stockholders have 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 1933 Act.

Table of Contents

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 1933 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 1933 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 1934 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 1934 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 1933 Act).

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have not declared or paid cash dividends on our Common Stock since our inception. Under Nevada law, we are prohibited from paying dividends if the distribution would result in our company not being able to pay its debts as they become due in the normal course of business if our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to pay the dividends, or if we were to be dissolved at the time of distribution to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution. Even if our board of directors (“Board”) decides to pay dividends, the form, the frequency, and the amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Board may deem relevant. While our Board will make any future decisions regarding dividends, as circumstances surrounding us change, it currently does not anticipate that we will pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Selected legal matters with respect to the validity of the securities offered by this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Porter Wright Morris & Arthur LLP, 41 South High Street, Columbus, Ohio, 43215.
