Additionally, the Selling Shareholders may also offer and sell their respective common shares described in this prospectus in one or more offerings. This prospectus only provides you with a general description of the securities that we and the Selling Shareholders may offer. Each time we or the Selling Shareholders offer securities, we will provide you with a supplement to this prospectus that will describe the specific information about the securities being offered and the specific terms of that offering. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change the information contained in this prospectus. If there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, you should rely on the prospectus supplement. Before purchasing any securities, you should read carefully both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, together with the additional information described below.

This prospectus and any prospectus supplement are part of a registration statement we filed with the SEC and do not contain all the information in such registration statement. Forms of the indentures and other documents establishing the terms of the offered securities are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Statements in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement about these documents are summaries and each statement is qualified in all respects by reference to the document to which it refers. You should refer to the actual documents for a more complete description of the relevant matters. For further information about us or the securities offered hereby, you should refer to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, which you can obtain from the SEC as described below under the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information”.

The Selling Shareholders may offer and sell or otherwise dispose of their common shares described in this prospectus from time to time through public or private transactions at prevailing market prices, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. The Selling Shareholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to the sales of their common shares. We will bear all other costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the Selling Shareholders’ common shares. See “Plan of Distribution” for more information about how the Selling Shareholder may sell or dispose of their common shares.

You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. We desire to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are including this cautionary statement in connection therewith. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management's expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future and other statements that are other than statements of historical fact. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

The forward-looking statements in this prospectus and incorporated by reference herein are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections. As a result, you are cautioned not to rely on any forward-looking statements.

Many of these statements are based on our assumptions about factors that are beyond our ability to control or predict and are subject to risks and uncertainties that are described more fully in “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is incorporated by reference herein. Any of these factors or a combination of these factors could materially affect our future results of operations and the ultimate accuracy of the forward-looking statements. In addition to these important factors and matters discussed elsewhere herein and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, among other things:

•

our ability to maintain or develop new and existing customer relationships with major refined product importers and exporters, major crude oil companies and major commodity traders, including our ability to enter into long-term charters for our vessels;

•

our future operating and financial results;

•

our future vessel acquisitions, our business strategy and expected and unexpected capital spending or operating expenses, including any dry-docking, crewing, bunker costs and insurance costs;

•

our financial condition and liquidity, including our ability to pay amounts that we owe and to obtain financing in the future to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate activities;

•

oil and chemical tanker industry trends, including fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values and factors affecting vessel supply and demand;

•

our ability to take delivery of, integrate into our fleet, and employ any newbuildings we may acquire or order in the future and the ability of shipyards to deliver vessels on a timely basis;

•

our dependence on our fleet manager to operate our business;

•

the aging of our vessels and resultant increases in operation and dry-docking costs;

•

the ability of our vessels to pass classification inspections and vetting inspections by oil majors and big chemical corporations;

•

significant changes in vessel performance, including increased vessel breakdowns;

•

the creditworthiness of our charterers and the ability of our contract counterparties to fulfill their obligations to us;

•

our ability to repay outstanding indebtedness, to obtain additional financing and to obtain replacement charters for our vessels, and any vessels we may acquire in the future, in each case, at commercially acceptable rates or at all;

•

changes to governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities and the expected costs thereof;

•

our ability to maintain the listing of our common shares on Nasdaq or another trading market;

•

our ability to comply with additional costs and risks related to our environmental, social and governance policies;

•

potential liability from litigation and our vessel operations, including purported discharge of pollutants;

•

changes in general economic and business conditions;

•

general domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents, political events, including “trade wars,” piracy, acts by terrorists or other hostilities or conflicts, including the war in Ukraine, the war between Israel and Hamas, tensions between the United States and Iran and between Israel and Iran or the Houthi crisis in and around the Red Sea, current instability in Venezuela and Iran and potential tensions between the U.S. and Greenland, Denmark or Venezuela;

•

changes in production of or demand for oil and petroleum products and chemicals, either globally or in particular regions;

•

the strength of world economies and currencies, including fluctuations in charterhire rates and vessel values;

•

potential liability from future litigation and potential costs due to our vessel operations, and the operation of any vessels we may acquire in the future, including due to any environmental damage and vessel collisions;

•

the length and severity of public health threats, epidemics and pandemics and other disease outbreaks and their impact on the demand for commercial seaborne transportation and the condition of the financial markets and governmental responses thereto; and

•

other important factors discussed in “Item 3. Key Information-D. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025 or described from time to time in the reports filed by us with the SEC.

Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Consequently, there can be no assurance that actual results or developments anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, us. Given these uncertainties, prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable laws. If one or more forward-looking statements are updated, no inference should be drawn that additional updates will be made with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are a Marshall Islands corporation and our principal executive office is located outside of the United States in Athens, Greece.

Most of our directors and officers and those of our subsidiaries are residents of countries other than the United States. Substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets and a substantial portion of the assets of our directors and officers are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for United States investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us, our directors or officers, our subsidiaries or to realize against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Marshall Islands would (1) recognize or enforce against us, or our directors, or officers, judgments of courts of the United States based on civil liability provisions of applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws; or (2) impose liabilities against us or our directors and officers in original actions brought in the Marshall Islands, based on these laws.

SUMMARY

In addition, certain statements include forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this prospectus.

Unless otherwise indicated, references in this prospectus to “Rubico,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us,” refer to Rubico Inc. or any one or more of its subsidiaries, or to such entities collectively. References in this registration statement to the “Former Parent” refer to Top Ships Inc. References to our “Fleet Manager” or “CSI” are to Central Shipping Inc., a related party of our Former Parent and us, which performs the day-to-day management of our fleet.

Unless otherwise indicated, references to “U.S. dollars,” “dollars,” “USD” and “$” in this prospectus are to the lawful currency of the United States of America. We use the term “deadweight tons”, or “dwt”, expressed in metric tons, each of which is equivalent to 1,000 kilograms, in describing the size of vessels. We use the term “fleet” in describing our tanker vessels to the exclusion of any yachts that may be owned by us or purchased by us in the future.

Further, unless otherwise indicated, references to our common shares and per share amounts, including the number of common shares issuable upon exercise of warrants and the exercise price per common share, are adjusted to reflect the consolidation of our common shares through the one-for-thirty reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common shares that became effective on December 2, 2025, the one-for-seven-and-eight-tenths reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common shares that became effective on February 12, 2026, the one-for-ten reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common shares that became effective on April 9, 2026, and the one-for-twenty-five reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common shares that became effective on June 26, 2026.

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this prospectus shall have the meanings ascribed to them in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, which was filed with the Commission on March 23, 2026.

Our Company

We are a global provider of shipping transportation services. We specialize in the ownership of vessels. The vessels initially comprising our fleet and each of the vessels we may acquire in the future is or will be owned through a separate wholly owned subsidiary.

We are an international owner and operator of two modern, fuel efficient eco, 157,000 dwt Suezmax tankers, the M/T Eco Malibu with an age of 5.1 years and the M/T Eco West Coast with an age of 5.3 years, each focusing on the transportation of crude oil.

We also have two newbuilding contracts, one for a 47,499 dwt chemical/product oil carrier and one for the M/Y Sanlorenzo 1150Exp, a 60 meters megayacht.

We were incorporated by the Former Parent under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands on August 11, 2022 to serve as the holding company for two of its vessel-owning subsidiaries, Athenean Empire Inc. (the “Athenean Rubico Predecessor” or “Athenean”) and Roman Empire Inc. (the “Roman Rubico Predecessor” or “Roman” and, together with the Athenean Rubico Predecessor, the “Rubico Predecessor”) that were contributed to us by the Former Parent in connection with the distribution of our issued and outstanding common shares (including the related preferred stock purchase rights), to the Former Parent’s shareholders and warrant holders (the “Spin-Off”).

Chartering of our Fleet

We intend to expand our fleet into other seaborne transportation sectors depending on available opportunities, opportunistically considering further expansion into other crude or product oil tanker vessels as well as diversification into other sectors related to seaborne transportation of goods or passengers, including recreational transportation, depending on our assessment of market conditions and available opportunities at the time when an acquisition is possible. Our targets may include newbuilding vessels or vessels from the secondhand market, including acquisitions from unrelated third parties, the Former Parent or other related parties.

Management of our Company and our Fleet

Prior to the consummation of the Spin-Off, we entered into a letter agreement (the “CSI Letter Agreement”) with our Fleet Manager, a related party affiliated with the family of Mr. Evangelos J. Pistiolis, and our controlling shareholder, is a trust established for the benefit of certain family members of Mr. Evangelos J. Pistiolis, which detailed the terms on which any vessels we may acquire will be managed. Both Athenean and Roman have entered into management agreements with our Fleet Manager on May 28, 2020 and on March 18, 2026, Roman Shark IX Inc., a subsidiary of the Company entered into a management agreement with our Fleet Manager (each a “Management Agreement” and, together, “the “Management Agreements”). Both the Management Agreements and the CSI Letter Agreement can only be terminated subject to an eighteen-month advance notice, subject to a termination fee equal to twelve months of fees payable under the CSI Letter Agreement or each of the Management Agreements.

Pursuant to the CSI Letter Agreement as well as the Management Agreements, we currently pay a management fee of $670 per day per vessel for the provision of technical, commercial, operation, insurance, bunkering and crew management, commencing three months before the vessel is scheduled to be delivered by the shipyard. In addition, the Management Agreements and the CSI Letter Agreement provide for payment to our Fleet Manager of: (i) $609 per day for superintendent visits plus actual expenses; (ii) a chartering commission of 1.25% on all freight, hire and demurrage revenues; (iii) a commission of 1.00% on all gross vessel sale proceeds or the purchase price paid for vessels, (iv) in the case of a vessel under construction, a 1.00% of commission denoted as “Newbuilding vessels monitoring fee” that is payable as follows: 25% of the commission on the purchase of the newbuilding construction contract, 25% of the commission on the steel cutting of the newbuilding vessel, 25% of the commission on launching of the newbuilding vessel and 25% of the commission on the delivery of the newbuilding vessel to the Company (“steel cutting” and “launching” are newbuilding vessel construction milestones, evidenced by notices received by the shipyard) and (v) a financing fee of 0.2% on derivative agreements and loan financing or refinancing. Our Fleet Manager will also perform supervision services for any newbuilding vessel we may acquire while the vessel is under construction, for which we will pay our Fleet Manager the actual cost of the supervision services plus a fee of 7% of such supervision services.

Our Fleet Manager provides, at cost, all accounting, reporting and administrative services. Finally, the Management Agreements and the CSI Letter Agreement provide for a performance incentive fee for the provision of management services to be determined at the discretion of our Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”). The Management Agreements and the CSI Letter Agreement have an initial term of five years, after which they will continue to be in effect until terminated by either party subject to an eighteen-month advance notice of termination. Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreements and the CSI Letter Agreement, all fees payable to our Fleet Manager are adjusted annually according to the U.S. Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) of the previous year and if CPI is less than 2% then a 2% increase is effected and if CPI is more than 5%, then a 5% increase is effected.

For further information, please see “Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F.

Our Competitive Strengths

Opportunity for growth. We believe we will be well positioned to opportunistically expand and maximize our current fleet due to competitive cost structure, strong customer relationships and experienced management team.

Demonstrated access to financing. We believe that we are well placed to take advantage of business opportunities due to the Fleet Manager’s operational platform, which we aim to leverage, along with our Fleet Manager’s demonstrated access to financing at the Former Parent. We believe that our ability to access financing will continue to allow us to capture additional market opportunities when they arise.

Our Fleet Manager’s commercial relationships, reputation and track record. We believe that our Fleet Manager’s network of commercial relationships and reputation and track record in building shipping fleets should provide us with access to attractive acquisition, chartering and vessel financing opportunities.

Modern, Fuel Efficient, Scrubber Fitted Fleet. Our vessels have the latest-generation, fuel efficient design and specifications. We believe that modern, fuel-efficient vessels like ours command higher charter rates than conventional vessels.

Our Business Strategies

Opportunistic and sector-agnostic vessel acquisition strategy. We plan to exploit opportunities in any sector related to seaborne transportation of goods or passengers, including recreational transportation that provides an attractive demand and supply profile as well as a positive market outlook in the medium to long-term by acquiring vessels trading in this sector. The decision for entering a new sector will be based on robust fundamentals and thoughtful analysis of factors affecting both the demand side and the supply side, while the selection of the target vessel will be subject to strict qualitative criteria including the environmental performance and energy efficiency of the acquisition candidates.

Expand our fleet through accretive acquisitions. We intend to grow our current fleet through timely and selective acquisitions of additional vessels at attractive valuations. In evaluating acquisitions, we consider and analyze, among other things, our expectation of fundamental developments in the shipping industry, the level of liquidity in the resale and charter market, the vessel condition and technical specifications, the expected remaining useful life, as well as the overall strategic positioning of our fleet and customers. For vessels acquired with charters attached, we also consider the credit quality of the charterer and the duration and terms of the contracts in place. Based on our Fleet Manager’s successful track record, commercial expertise and reputation in the marketplace as well as our transparent and public corporate structure, we believe that we are well-positioned to source off-market opportunities to acquire secondhand vessels. As a result, we may be able to acquire vessels on terms more favorable than those we could obtain without access to these opportunities.

Access to attractive chartering opportunities. Our Fleet Manager has built relationships with many well-known charterers, which we believe is the result of its and our Former Parent’s reputation for reliable service, safety and dependability. Through a combination of fixed period time charters and spot charters, our Former Parent and Fleet Manager have historically provided services to many national, regional and international oil companies, charterers and oil traders, including Shell, BP, ExxonMobil, Petrobras, ConocoPhillips, Pemex, Hellenic Petroleum, Glencore, Clearlake, Vitol and Trafigura. We focus on the needs of our customers and intend to acquire tankers and upgrade our fleet based on the requirements and specifications of our charterers, which we believe will enable us to obtain repeat business from our customers.

Environmental, Social, Governance, or ESG, Practices: We actively manage a broad range of ESG initiatives, taking into consideration their expected impact on the sustainability of our business over time, and the potential impact of our business on society and the environment. Scrubber installations, Existing Vessel Design Index, or EEXI, upgrades, and Energy Saving Devices (“ESDs”) installations, weather routing, slow steaming, ballast and trim optimization during the ballast voyage legs, application of noise reduction designs and frequent propeller and hull cleaning policy constitute examples of the environmental practices our management team has deployed. Moreover, we pay considerable attention to our human resources both on our vessels, or vessels we may acquire and ashore, proven by a variety of practices, including, gender discrimination elimination, performance KPIs, worldwide training and medical insurance.

Recent and Other Developments Summary

On March 31, 2025, the Newbuilding Yacht SPA was consummated. As of the date of this prospectus, the $38.0 million Newbuilding Yacht consideration has been settled in full.

On April 9, 2026, we effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split of our common shares. There was no change in the number of our authorized common shares.

On April 20, 2026, we entered into a second common shares purchase agreement (the “2026 Equity Line Purchase Agreement”) and a registration rights agreement (the “2026 Equity Line Registration Rights Agreement”) with B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC (“B. Riley”). Pursuant to the 2026 Equity Line Purchase Agreement, we have the right to sell to B. Riley, from time to time during the term of the 2026 Equity Line Purchase Agreement, up to $50,000,000 of our common shares, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the 2026 Equity Line Purchase Agreement. Sales of our common shares pursuant to the 2026 Equity Line Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, are solely at our option, and we are under no obligation to sell any securities to B. Riley under the 2026 Equity Line Purchase Agreement. In accordance with our obligations under the 2026 Equity Line Registration Rights Agreement, we have registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the resale by B. Riley of common shares that we may, in our sole discretion, elect to sell to B. Riley in one or more transactions from time to time during the term of the 2026 Equity Line Purchase Agreement. Our right to cause B. Riley to purchase our common shares is subject to certain conditions set forth in the 2026 Equity Line Purchase Agreement.

On May 21, 2026, we closed a public offering (the “May 2026 Offering”) of 210,526 units, with each unit consisting of one common share (or one pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof (the “May 2026 Pre-funded Warrants”)) and 1.5 Class C Warrants (each, a “Class C Warrant”). Each Class C Warrant was exercisable to purchase one common share at a public offering price of $23.75 per Class C Warrant, subject to customary adjustments. We also agreed to issue to Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), who acted as placement agent in the May 2026 Offering, warrants to purchase a number of common shares equal to 5.0% of the total number of common shares and May 2026 Pre-funded Warrants sold in the May 2026 Offering (the “May 2026 Representative Warrants”). May 2026 Representative Warrants to purchase 10,526 Common Shares were issued in connection with the closing of the May 2026 Offering. The May 2026 Representative Warrants have substantially similar terms to the Class C Warrants. As of the date of this registration statement no pre-funded warrants remain outstanding. The aggregate gross proceeds to us from the May 2026 Offering, before deducting placement agent fees and other expenses payable by us, were $5.0 million.

On June 12, 2026, we entered into a warrant exercise inducement letter agreement (“Inducement Letter”) with the existing holders of all of the Company’s outstanding Class C Warrants issued on May 21, 2026, exercisable to purchase up to an aggregate of 315,789 of the Company’s common shares, pursuant to which the holders agreed to exercise all of the outstanding Class C Warrants at an exercise price reduced from $23.75 per share to $16.25 per share. The net proceeds of the exercise of the Class C Warrants to the Company, after deducting estimated expenses and fees, were approximately $4.8 million. In consideration for the immediate exercise of the Class C Warrants for cash, the exercising holders received Class D Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 631,575 Common Shares in the Private Placement Transaction. The Class D Warrants were issued on June 26, 2026, were immediately exercisable upon issuance at an exercise price of $16.25 per Common Share and will expire five years after issuance.

On June 26, 2026, we effected a one-for-twenty-five reverse stock split of our common shares. There was no change in the number of our authorized common shares.

Formation Transactions

The operating vessels of our fleet were contributed to us by the Former Parent in connection with the Spin-Off.

The Spin-Off distribution occurred on August 1, 2025. The Spin-Off distribution was pro rata to the beneficial holders of the Former Parent’s outstanding common shares and to beneficial holders of the Former Parent’s outstanding common stock purchase warrants on an as-exercised basis to the extent such warrants contain anti-dilution provisions conferred an interest equivalent to the Spin-Off distribution, in each case as of June 16, 2025, the record date of the Spin-Off, so that such holders maintained the same proportionate interest (on a fully-diluted basis) in each respective class of shares of the Former Parent and of us both immediately before and immediately after the Spin-Off. In connection with the Spin-Off, the Former Parent distributed 100,000 Series D preferred shares (the “Series D Preferred Shares”) to the holder of the Series D perpetual preferred shares of the Former Parent. The Series D Preferred Shares distributed to the holder of the Series D perpetual preferred shares of the Former Parent were created to mirror the rights of the Series D perpetual preferred shares of the Former Parent. The holder of the Series D perpetual preferred shares of the Former Parent is the Lax Trust, which is an irrevocable trust established for the benefit of certain family members of the President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Former Parent, Mr. Evangelos Pistiolis. The Former Parent did not distribute the Series D Preferred Shares to its common shareholders in connection with the Spin-Off.

On June 23, 2025, in connection with the Spin-Off, Nasdaq approved the listing of our common shares under the symbol “RUBI.” The common shares began trading on Nasdaq on August 4, 2025, the Trading Day following the consummation of the Spin-Off.

Implications of Being a Foreign Private Issuer

As a non-U.S. company which qualifies as a “foreign private issuer” subject to reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we are subject to different requirements under the U.S. securities laws than U.S. domestic issuers. See “Item 3. Key Information-D. Risk Factors-Risks Relating to Our Company-We are a ‘foreign private issuer,’ which could make our common shares less attractive to some investors or otherwise harm our stock price” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F and “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal controls over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or Sarbanes-Oxley;

exemption from new or revised financial accounting standards applicable to public companies until such standards are also applicable to private companies; and

exemption from compliance with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and financial statements.

We may take advantage of these provisions until the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the closing of this offering or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1.235 billion in “total annual gross revenues” during the most recently completed fiscal year, or we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in the past three years, or we become a “large accelerated filer”. For as long as we take advantage of the reduced reporting obligations, the information that we provide shareholders may be different from information provided by other public companies.

We are choosing to take advantage of these reduced burdens, save for the exemption from new or revised financial accounting standards applicable to public companies until such standards are also applicable to private companies. We are choosing to “opt out” of such extended transition period and will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth public companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

See “Item 10. Additional Information — B. Memorandum and Articles of Association” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025, incorporated by reference herein.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

We may offer and issue debt securities from time to time in one or more series, under one or more indentures, each dated as of a date on or prior to the issuance of the debt securities to which it relates, and pursuant to an applicable prospectus supplement. We may issue senior debt securities and subordinated debt securities pursuant to separate indentures, a senior indenture and a subordinated indenture, respectively, in each case between us and the trustee named in the indenture. We have filed forms of these documents as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part. We refer to any applicable prospectus supplement, amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, report we file with the SEC under the Exchange Act as “subsequent filings.” The senior indenture and the subordinated indenture, as amended or supplemented from time to time, are each referred to individually as an “indenture” and collectively as the “indentures.” Each indenture will be subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), and will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to any principles thereof relating to conflicts of law that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction) unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement and indenture (or post-effective amendment hereto). Each indenture will contain the specific terms of any series of debt securities or provide that those terms must be set forth in or determined pursuant to, an authorizing resolution, as defined in the applicable prospectus supplement or a supplemental indenture, if any, relating to such series. Our debt securities may be convertible or exchangeable into any of our equity or other debt securities.

The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities. The particular terms and provisions of the debt securities offered by any prospectus supplement, and the extent to which the general terms and provisions described below may apply to the offered debt securities, will be described in the applicable subsequent filings. The statements below are not complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the applicable indenture. The specific terms of any debt securities that we may offer, including any modifications of, or additions to, the general terms described below as well as any applicable material U.S. federal income tax considerations concerning the ownership of such debt securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement and indenture and, as applicable, supplemental indenture. Accordingly, for a complete description of the terms of a particular issue of debt securities, the general description of the debt securities set forth below should be read in conjunction with the applicable prospectus supplement and indenture, as amended or supplemented from time to time.

General

We expect that neither indenture will limit the amount of debt securities that may be issued. The debt securities may be issued in one or more series.

You should read the applicable indenture and subsequent filings relating to the particular series of debt securities for the following terms of the offered debt securities:

•

the designation, aggregate principal amount and authorized denominations;

•

the issue price, expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount;

•

the maturity date;

•

the interest rate per annum, if any;

•

if the debt securities provide for interest payments, the date from which interest will accrue, the dates on which interest will be payable, the date on which payment of interest will commence and the regular record dates for interest payment dates;

•

any optional or mandatory sinking fund provisions or exchangeability provisions;

•

the terms and conditions upon which conversion of any convertible debt securities may be effected, including the conversion price, the conversion period and other conversion provisions;

•

whether the debt securities will be our senior or subordinated securities;

•

whether the obligations under the debt securities will be our secured or unsecured obligations;

•

the applicability and terms of any guarantees;

•

the date, if any, after which and the price or prices at which the debt securities may be optionally redeemed or must be mandatorily redeemed and any other terms and provisions of optional or mandatory redemptions;

•

if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, the denominations in which the debt securities of the series will be issuable;

•

if other than the full principal amount, the portion of the principal amount of the debt securities of the series that will be payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy;

•

any events of default not set forth in this prospectus;

•

the currency or currencies, including composite currencies, in which principal, premium and interest will be payable, if other than the currency of the United States of America;

•

if principal, premium or interest is payable, at our election or at the election of any holder, in a currency other than that in which the debt securities of the series are stated to be payable, the period or periods within which, and the terms and conditions upon which, the election may be made;

•

whether interest will be payable in cash or additional securities at our or the holder’s option and the terms and conditions upon which the election may be made;

•

if denominated in a currency or currencies other than the currency of the United States of America, the equivalent price in the currency of the United States of America for purposes of determining the voting rights of holders of those debt securities under the applicable indenture;

•

if the amount of payments of principal, premium or interest may be determined with reference to an index, formula or other method based on a coin or currency other than that in which the debt securities of the series are stated to be payable, the manner in which the amounts will be determined;

•

any restrictive covenants or other material terms relating to the debt securities;

•

whether the debt securities will be issued in the form of global securities or certificates in registered or bearer form;

•

any listing on any securities exchange or quotation system;

•

additional provisions, if any, related to defeasance and discharge of the debt securities; and

•

any other special features of the debt securities.

Subsequent filings may include additional terms not listed above. Unless otherwise indicated in subsequent filings with the SEC relating to the indenture, principal, premium and interest will be payable and the debt securities will be transferable at the corporate trust office of the applicable trustee. Unless other arrangements are made or set forth in subsequent filings or a supplemental indenture, principal, premium and interest will be paid by checks mailed to the registered holders at their registered addresses.

Unless otherwise indicated in subsequent filings with the SEC, the debt securities will be issued only in fully registered form without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof. No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of the debt securities, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with these debt securities.

Some or all of the debt securities may be issued as discounted debt securities, bearing no interest or interest at a rate which at the time of issuance is below market rates, to be sold at a substantial discount below the stated principal amount. United States federal income tax consequences and other special considerations applicable to any discounted securities will be described in subsequent filings with the SEC relating to those securities.

We refer you to the appliable subsequent filings for the particular terms and provisions of the debt securities offered by any prospectus supplement.

Senior Debt Securities

We may issue senior debt securities, which may be secured or unsecured, under the senior debt indenture. The senior debt securities will rank on an equal basis with all our other senior debt except subordinated debt. The senior debt securities will be effectively subordinated, however, to all of our secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt. We will disclose the amount of our debt in the prospectus supplement.

Subordinated Debt Securities

We may issue subordinated debt securities under a subordinated debt indenture. Subordinated debt would rank subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent set forth in the subordinated debt indenture, to all our senior debt.

Covenants

Any series of offered debt securities may have covenants in addition to or differing from those included in the applicable indenture which will be described in subsequent filings prepared in connection with the offering of such securities, limiting or restricting, among other things:

•

our ability to incur either secured or unsecured debt, or both;

•

our ability to make certain payments, dividends, redemptions or repurchases;

•

our ability to create dividend and other payment restrictions affecting our subsidiaries;

•

our ability to make investments;

•

mergers and consolidations by us;

•

sales of assets by us;

•

our ability to enter into transactions with affiliates;

•

our ability to incur liens; and

•

sale and leaseback transactions.

Modification of the Indentures

We expect that each indenture and the rights of the respective holders generally may be modified by us only with the consent of holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series under the respective indenture affected by the modification, taken together as a class. But we expect that no modification that:

changes the amount of securities whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

reduces the rate of or changes the interest payment time on any security or alters its redemption provisions (other than any alteration to any such section which would not materially adversely affect the legal rights of any holder under the indenture) or the price at which we are required to offer to purchase the securities;

reduces the principal or changes the maturity of any security or reduces the amount of, or postpones the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation;

waives a default or event of default in the payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on any security (except a rescission of acceleration of the securities of any series by the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding securities of that series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

makes the principal of or interest, if any, on any security payable in any currency other than that stated in the security;

makes any change with respect to holders’ rights to receive principal and interest, the terms pursuant to which defaults can be waived, certain modifications affecting shareholders or certain currency-related issues; or

waives a redemption payment with respect to any security or changes any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of any securities will be effective against any holder without his consent.

Events of Default

We expect that each indenture will define an event of default for the debt securities of any series as being any one of the following events:

•

default in any payment of interest when due which continues for 30 days;

•

default in any payment of principal or premium at maturity;

•

default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment when due;

•

default in the performance of any covenant in the debt securities or the applicable indenture which continues for 60 days after we receive notice of the default;

•

default under a bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness for borrowed money by us (to the extent we are directly responsible or liable therefor) having a principal amount in excess of a minimum amount set forth in the applicable subsequent filings, whether such indebtedness now exists or is hereafter created, which default shall have resulted in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, without such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled or cured within 30 days after we receive notice of the default; and

•

events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization.

An event of default of one series of debt securities will not necessarily constitute an event of default with respect to any other series of debt securities.

There may be such other or different events of default as described in any applicable subsequent filing with respect to any class or series of offered debt securities.

We expect that under each indenture, in case an event of default occurs and continues for the debt securities of any series, the applicable trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities then outstanding of that series may declare the principal and accrued but unpaid interest of the debt securities of that series to be due and payable. Further, any event of default for the debt securities of any series which has been cured is expected to be permitted to be waived by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of that series then outstanding.

We expect that each indenture will require us to file annually after debt securities are issued under that indenture with the applicable trustee a written statement signed by two of our officers as to the absence of material defaults under the terms of that indenture. We also expect that each indenture will provide that the applicable trustee may withhold notice to the holders of any default if it considers it in the interest of the holders to do so, except notice of a default in payment of principal, premium or interest.

Subject to the duties of the trustee in case an event of default occurs and continues, we expect that each indenture will provide that the trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under that indenture at the request, order or direction of holders unless the holders have offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity. Subject to these provisions for indemnification and the rights of the trustee, each indenture is expected to provide that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of any series then outstanding have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee as long as the exercise of that right does not conflict with any law or the indenture.

Defeasance and Discharge

The terms of each indenture are expected to provide us with the option to be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the debt securities issued thereunder upon the deposit with the trustee, in trust, of money or United States government obligations, or both, which through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay any installment of principal, premium and interest on, and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of, the debt securities on the stated maturity of the payments in accordance with the terms of the debt securities and the indenture governing the debt securities. We expect that this right may only be exercised if, among other things, we have received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling to the effect that such a discharge will not be deemed, or result in, a taxable event with respect to holders. This discharge would not apply to our obligations to register the transfer or exchange of debt securities, to replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities, to maintain paying agencies and hold moneys for payment in trust.

Defeasance of Certain Covenants

We expect that the terms of the debt securities provide us with the right not to comply with specified covenants and that specified events of default described in a subsequent filing will not apply provided we deposit with the trustee money or U.S. government obligations, or both, which through the payment of interest and principal will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay any installment of principal, premium, and interest on, and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of, the debt securities on the stated maturity of such payments in accordance with the terms of the debt securities and the indenture governing such debt securities.

We expect that to exercise this right, we will also be required to deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the deposit and related covenant defeasance should not cause the holders of such series to recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes.

A subsequent filing may further describe the provisions, if any, of any particular series of offered debt securities permitting a discharge defeasance.

Form of Debt Securities

Each debt security will be represented either by a certificate issued in definitive form to a particular investor or by one or more global securities representing the entire issuance of securities. Both certificated securities in definitive form and global securities may be issued either in registered form, where our obligation runs to the holder of the security named on the face of the security, or in bearer form, where our obligation runs to the bearer of the security.

Definitive securities name the owner or their nominee as the owner of the security, other than definitive bearer securities, which name the bearer as owner, and in order to transfer or exchange these securities or to receive payments other than interest or other interim payments, the owner or their nominee must physically deliver the securities to the trustee, registrar, paying agent or other agent, as applicable.

Global securities name a depositary or its nominee as the owner of the debt securities represented by these global securities, other than global bearer securities, which name the bearer as owner. The depositary maintains a computerized system that will reflect each investor’s beneficial ownership of the securities through an account maintained by the investor with its broker/dealer, bank, trust company or other representative, as we explain more fully below.

Global Securities

The debt securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depository identified in an applicable subsequent filing and registered in the name of the depository or a nominee for the depository. In such a case, one or more global securities will be issued in a denomination or aggregate denominations equal to the portion of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding debt securities of the series to be represented by the global security or securities. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for debt securities in definitive certificated form, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depository for the global security to a nominee of the depository or by a nominee of the depository to the depository or another nominee of the depository or by the depository or any nominee to a successor depository for that series or a nominee of the successor depository and except in the circumstances described in an applicable subsequent filing.

We refer you to applicable subsequent filings with respect to any deletions or additions or modifications from the description contained in this prospectus.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

We may issue warrants to purchase any of our debt or equity securities or other rights, including rights to receive payment in cash or securities based on the value, rate or price of one or more specified currencies, securities or indices, or any combination of the foregoing. Warrants may be issued independently or together with any other securities and may be attached to, or separate from, such securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a warrant agent. The terms of any warrants to be issued and a description of the material provisions of the applicable warrant agreement will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. We expect that such terms will include, among others:

•	the title of such warrants;

•	the aggregate number of such warrants;

•	the price or prices at which such warrants will be issued;

•	the currency or currencies in which the price of such warrants will be payable;

•	the securities or other rights, including rights to receive payment in cash or securities based on the value, rate or price of one or more specified currencies, securities or indices, or any combination of the foregoing, purchasable upon exercise of such warrants;

•	the price at which, and the currency or currencies in which, the securities or other rights purchasable upon exercise of such warrants may be purchased;

•	the date on which the right to exercise such warrants shall commence and the date on which such right shall expire;

•	if applicable, the minimum or maximum amount of such warrants which may be exercised at any one time;

•	if applicable, the designation and terms of the securities with which such warrants are issued and the number of such warrants issued with each such security;

•	if applicable, the date on and after which such warrants and the related securities will be separately transferable;

•	information with respect to book-entry procedures, if any;

•	if applicable, a discussion of any material U.S. federal income tax considerations; and

•	any other terms of such warrants, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of such warrants.

DESCRIPTION OF PURCHASE CONTRACTS

We may issue purchase contracts for the purchase or sale of debt or equity securities issued by us, a basket of such securities, an index or indices of such securities, or any combination of the above as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement; or currencies.

Each purchase contract will entitle the holder thereof to purchase or sell, and obligate us to sell or purchase, on specified dates, such securities or currencies at a specified purchase price, which may be based on a formula, all as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Any purchase contracts we issue will be physically settled by delivery of the securities or, in the case of purchase contracts on underlying currencies, by delivering the underlying currencies, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will also specify the methods by which the holders may purchase or sell such securities or currencies and any acceleration, cancellation or termination provisions, provisions relating to U.S. federal income tax considerations, if any, or other provisions relating to the settlement of a purchase contract.

The purchase contracts may require the holders thereof to secure their obligations in a specified manner to be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Alternatively, purchase contracts may require holders to satisfy their obligations thereunder when the purchase contracts are issued. Our obligation to settle such pre-paid purchase contracts on the relevant settlement date may constitute indebtedness. Accordingly, pre-paid purchase contracts will be issued under either a senior indenture or subordinated indenture.

DESCRIPTION OF RIGHTS

We may issue rights to purchase our securities. These rights may be issued independently or together with any other security offered by this prospectus and may or may not be transferable by the shareholder receiving the rights in the rights offering. In connection with any rights offering, we may enter into a standby underwriting agreement with one or more underwriters pursuant to which the underwriter will purchase any securities that remain unsubscribed for upon completion of the rights offering.

The applicable prospectus supplement relating to any rights will describe the terms of the offered rights, including, where applicable, the following:

•	the exercise price for the rights;

•	the number of rights issued to each shareholder;

•	the extent to which the rights are transferable;

•	any other terms of the rights, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of the rights;

•	the date on which the right to exercise the rights will commence and the date on which the right will expire;

•	the amount of rights outstanding;

•	the extent to which the rights include an over-subscription privilege with respect to unsubscribed securities; and

•	the material terms of any standby underwriting arrangement entered into by us in connection with the rights offering.

The description in the applicable prospectus supplement of any rights we offer will not necessarily be complete and will be qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable rights certificate or rights agreement, which will be filed with the SEC if we offer rights. For more information on how you can obtain copies of any rights certificate or rights agreement if we offer rights, see “Where You Can Find More Information” of this prospectus. We urge you to read the applicable rights certificate, the applicable rights agreement and any applicable prospectus supplement in their entirety.

DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES

We may issue fractional shares of preferred stock, rather than full shares of preferred stock. If we do so, we may issue receipts for depositary shares that each represent a fraction of a share of a particular series of preferred stock. A related prospectus supplement will indicate that fraction. The shares of preferred stock represented by depositary shares will be deposited under a depositary agreement between us and a bank or trust company that is selected by us, which we refer to as the “bank depositary.” Each owner of a depository share will be entitled to all the right, preferences and privileges of the preferred stock represented by the depositary share. The depositary share will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued pursuant to the depositary agreement. Depositary receipts will be distributed to those persons purchasing the fractional shares of preferred stock in accordance with the terms of the offering.

The forms of the depositary agreement and the depository receipts relating to any particular issue of depositary shares will be filed with the SEC each time we issue depositary shares, and any prospectus supplement relating to any particular depositary shares will describe, among other things, the following:

•	the material terms of the depositary shares and of the underlying preferred stock;

•	the identity of the bank depositary and the material terms of the depositary agreement;

•	any limitation on the depositary's liability;

•	all fees and charges that a holder of depositary shares will have to pay, either directly or indirectly;

•	any procedure for voting the deposited securities;

•	any procedure for collecting and distributing dividends;

•	any material provisions relating to the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the depositary shares; and

•	any applicable material United States federal income tax considerations.

You should read the particular terms of any depositary shares and any depositary receipts that we offer and any deposit agreement relating to a particular series of preferred shares which will be described in more detail in a prospectus supplement. A copy of the form of deposit agreement, including the form of depositary receipt, will be filed with the SEC at the time of the offering and incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. You can obtain copies of these documents when they are filed by following the directions outlined in “Where You Can Find More Information.”

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

As specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may issue units consisting of one or more of our depositary shares, rights, purchase contracts, warrants, debt securities, shares of preferred stock, common shares (including preferred stock purchase rights) or any combination of such securities. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe, to the extent applicable:

•

the terms of the units and of the depositary shares, rights, purchase contracts, warrants, debt securities, preferred shares and/or common shares (including preferred stock purchase rights) comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances the securities comprising the units may be traded separately;

•	a description of the terms of any unit agreement governing the units;

•	if applicable, a discussion of any material U.S. federal income tax considerations; and

•	a description of the provisions for the payment, settlement, transfer or exchange or the units.

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is incorporated by reference herein, as updated by annual and other reports and document we file with the SEC after the date of this prospectus and that are incorporated by reference herein, provides a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations and Marshall Islands tax considerations that may be relevant to prospective investors in our common shares. The applicable prospectus supplement may also contain information about any material U.S. federal income tax considerations and any material non-U.S. tax considerations relating to the securities covered by such prospectus supplement.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

This prospectus relates in part to the offering of up to 631,575 common shares that the Selling Shareholders may sell in one or more offerings upon exercise of some or all of the Class D Warrants that the Selling Shareholders have purchased from us in the Private Placement Transaction.

The selling shareholders listed below and their permitted transferees, pledgees or other successors may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the common shares set forth below pursuant to this prospectus. When we refer to the “Selling Shareholders” in this prospectus, we refer to the persons listed in the table below, and the pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees, successors and other permitted transferees that hold any of that Selling Shareholder’s interest in the common shares after the date of this prospectus.

The registration of these common shares does not mean that the Selling Shareholders will sell or otherwise dispose of all or any of those securities. The Selling Shareholders may sell or otherwise dispose of all, a portion or none of such common shares from time to time. We do not know the number of common shares, if any, that will be offered for sale or other disposition by any of the Selling Shareholders under this prospectus. The Selling Shareholders identified below may currently hold or acquire our common shares or warrants to purchase our common shares in addition to the Class C Warrants or the common shares registered hereby. In addition, the Selling Shareholders identified below may sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of some or all of the common shares covered hereby in private placement transactions exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

To our knowledge, the Selling Shareholders do not have nor have had within the past three years, any position, office or other material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates, other than their ownership of our common shares.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to each Selling Shareholder, including (i) the common shares beneficially owned by the Selling Shareholder prior to this offering (including the common shares underlying the Class D Warrants), (ii) the number of common shares underlying the Class D Warrants and being offered by the Selling Shareholder pursuant to this prospectus and (iii) the Selling Shareholder’s beneficial ownership after completion of this offering, assuming that all of the common shares covered hereby (but none of the other common shares, if any, held by the Selling Shareholders) are sold.

We have prepared the following table based on information supplied to us by the Selling Shareholders on or prior to June 30, 2026, and we have not sought to verify such information. Ownership and percentage ownership are determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding beneficial ownership and include voting or investment power with respect to common shares. This information does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. In computing the number of common shares beneficially owned by a Selling Shareholder and the percentage ownership of that Selling Shareholder, common shares underlying warrants held by that selling stockholder that are exercisable as of June 30, 2026, or exercisable within 60 days after June 30, 2026, are deemed outstanding. Such common shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The calculation of percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 605,012 common shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2026. The number of common shares owned prior to this offering and the number of common shares owned following this offering in the table below do not give effect to the beneficial ownership limitation contained in the Class D Warrants held by the Selling Shareholders, but the percentages in the table below do give effect to such beneficial ownership limitation.

	Number of Common Shares Beneficially Owned Prior to Offering			Maximum Number of Common Shares to be Offered	Number of Common Shares to be Beneficially Owned After the Registration Statement⁽²⁾
Name of Selling shareholder	Number	Percentage⁽¹⁾		Pursuant to this Registration Statement	Number	Percent
Anson East Master Fund LP⁽³⁾	63,157		4.99%	63,157	0	—
Anson Investments Master Fund LP	189,473		4.99%	189,473	0	—
Hudson Bay Master Fund Ltd.⁽⁴⁾	126,315		4.99%	126,315	0	—
Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd.⁽⁵⁾	126,315		4.99%	126,315	0	—
Funicular Funds LP⁽⁶⁾	178,301		4.99%	126,315	51,986	4.99%

(1) Applicable percentage ownership is based on 605,012 common shares outstanding as of June 30, 2026. The Class D Warrants are subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%, which such limitation restricts each Selling Shareholder from exercising that portion of the Class D Warrants that would result in the relevant Selling Shareholder and its affiliates owning, after exercise, a number of shares of common stock in excess of the beneficial ownership limitation.

(2) Assumes the exercise of all Class D Warrants and the sale of all Secondary Offering Securities being registered pursuant to this registration statement.

(3) Anson Advisors Inc and Anson Funds Management LP, the Co-Investment Advisers of Anson Investments Master Fund LP (“AIMF”) and Anson East Master Fund LP (“AEMF”, and collective with AIMF, “ANSON”), hold voting and dispositive power over the shares of common stock held by ANSON. Tony Moore is the managing member of Anson Management GP LLC, which is the general partner of Anson Funds Management LP. Moez Kassam and Amin Nathoo are directors of Anson Advisors Inc. Mr. Moore, Mr. Kassam and Mr. Nathoo each disclaim beneficial ownership of these shares of common stock except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein. The principal business address of ANSON is Maples Corporate Services Limited, PO Box 309, Ugland House, Grand Cayman, KY1-1104, Cayman Islands.

(4) Hudson Bay Master Fund Ltd. ("Hudson Bay"). Hudson Bay Capital Management LP, the investment manager of Hudson Bay, has voting and investment power over these securities. Sander Gerber is the managing member of Hudson Bay Capital GP LLC, which is the general partner of Hudson Bay Capital Management LP. Each of Hudson Bay and Sander Gerber disclaims beneficial ownership over these securities. The principal business address of Hudson Bay is c/o Hudson Bay Capital Management LP, 290 Harbor Dr., 3rd Floor, Stamford, CT 06902.

(5) The securities are directly held by Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Master Fund”), and may be deemed to be beneficially owned by: (i) Armistice Capital, LLC (“Armistice Capital”), as the investment manager of the Master Fund; and (ii) Steven Boyd, as the Managing Member of Armistice Capital. The warrants are subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%, which such limitation restricts the Selling Shareholder from exercising that portion of the warrants that would result in the Selling Shareholder and its affiliates owning, after exercise, a number of shares of common stock in excess of the beneficial ownership limitation. The address of Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. is c/o Armistice Capital, LLC, 510 Madison Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10022.

(6) The shares of common stock are directly held by Funicular Funds, LP and may be deemed to be beneficially owned by Jacob Ma-Weaver, who has investment and dispositive power over the securities. The address of Funicular Funds, LP and Mr. Ma-Weaver is 601 California Street, Suite 1151, San Francisco, CA 94108.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We and the Selling Shareholders may sell or distribute the securities included in this prospectus through underwriters, through agents, to dealers, in private transactions, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to market prices, at a fixed price or prices subject to change, at varying prices determined at the time of sale (which may be above or below market prices prevailing at the time of sale) or at negotiated prices. The Selling Shareholders, which, as used herein, includes donees, pledgees, transferees, or other successors-in-interest selling common shares or interests in common shares received after the date of this prospectus from the Selling Shareholders as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution, or other non-sale related transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any or all of their common shares on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions.

The Selling Shareholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale of the Secondary Offering Securities. The Selling Shareholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the common shares owned by such shareholder and, if he defaults in the performance of his secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the common shares, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of Selling Shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee, or other successors in interest as Selling Shareholders under this prospectus. In addition, we and the Selling Shareholders may sell some or all of our securities included in this prospectus through:

•	a block trade in which a broker-dealer may resell a portion of the block, as principal, in order 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;

•	sales “at the market” to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market (on an exchange or otherwise), for the securities;

•	sales in other ways not involving market makers or established trading markets;

•	in privately negotiated transactions;

•	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which a broker solicits purchasers;

•	trading plans entered into by us pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement hereto that provide for periodic sales of our securities on the basis of parameters described in such trading plans;

•	a combination of any such methods of sale; or

•	any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

In addition, we and the Selling Shareholders may enter into options or other types of transactions that require us to deliver our securities to a broker-dealer, who will then resell or transfer the securities under this prospectus. We may enter into hedging transactions with respect to our securities. For example, we and the Selling Shareholders may:

•	enter into transactions involving short sales of our common shares by broker-dealers;

•	sell common shares short and deliver the shares to close out short positions;

•	enter into option or other types of transactions that require us to deliver common shares to a broker-dealer, who will then resell or transfer the common shares under this prospectus; or

•	loan or pledge the common shares to a broker-dealer, who may sell the loaned shares or, in the event of default, sell the pledged shares.

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

We and the Selling Shareholders may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, we and the Selling Shareholders may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

Any broker-dealers or other persons acting on our or the Selling Shareholders’ behalf that participate with us in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters and any commissions received or profit realized by them on the resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. As of the date of this prospectus, neither we nor the Selling Shareholders are a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding between any broker or dealer and us with respect to the offer or sale of the securities pursuant to this prospectus.

If a Selling Shareholder is deemed an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, he will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. We will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be amended from time to time) available to the Selling Shareholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the Selling Shareholder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Shareholder, in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.

As of the date of this prospectus, we are not a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding between any broker or dealer and us with respect to the offer or sale of securities pursuant to this prospectus.

At the time that any particular offering of securities is made, to the extent required by the Securities Act, a prospectus supplement will be distributed, setting forth the terms of the offering, including the aggregate number of securities being offered, the purchase price of the securities, the initial offering price of the securities, the names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other items constituting compensation from us and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers. Furthermore, we, our executive officers, our directors and major shareholders may agree, subject to certain exemptions, that for a certain period from the date of the prospectus supplement under which the securities are offered, we and they will not, without the prior written consent of an underwriter, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of any of our common shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for common shares. However, an underwriter, in its sole discretion, may release any of the securities subject to these lock-up agreements at any time without notice. We expect an underwriter to exclude from these lock-up agreements securities exercised and/or sold pursuant to trading plans entered into by us pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement hereto that provide for periodic sales of our securities on the basis of parameters described in such trading plans.

The Selling Shareholders and any other person participating in a distribution of the common shares covered by this prospectus will be subject to the 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 any of the common shares by the Selling Shareholders and any other such person. To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the common shares to engage in market-making activities with respect to the common shares.

Underwriters or agents could make sales in privately negotiated transactions and/or any other method permitted by law, including sales deemed to be an at-the-market offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, which includes sales made directly on or through Nasdaq, the existing trading market for our common shares, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange.

We will bear costs relating to all of the securities offered and sold by us under this registration statement.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 8.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company provide that any person who is or was a director or officer of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director or officer of another partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise shall be entitled to be indemnified by the Company upon the same terms, under the same conditions, and to the same extent as authorized by Section 60 of the Business Corporation Act of the Republic of The Marshall Islands, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

Section 60 of the BCA provides as follows:

(1)

Actions not by or in right of the corporation. A corporation shall have the power 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 (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he 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 that his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of no contest, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he 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 reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

(2)

Actions by or in right of the corporation. A corporation shall have the power 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 or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

(3)

When director or officer is successful. To the extent that a director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (1) or (2) of this section, or in the defense of a claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

(4)

Payment of expenses in advance. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the board of directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section.

(5)

Indemnification pursuant to other rights. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

(6)

Continuation of indemnification. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(7)

Insurance. A corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in such capacity whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this section.

Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(a)

Under Rule 415 of the Securities Act,

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement unless the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of a prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement;

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2)

(3)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to any purchaser;

(i)

Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in this Registration Statement; and

(ii)

Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(6)

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

(i)

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

II-3

(ii)

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

(iii)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(g)

Not applicable.

(h)

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

(i)

Not applicable.

(j)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the SEC under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.
