PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

Subject to Completion, Dated August 23, 2024

Up to 20,638,326 shares of common stock

SOBR SAFE, INC.

This prospectus relates to the resale from time to time of an aggregate of up to 20,638,326 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, $0.00001 par value (“Common Stock”) of SOBR Safe, Inc. (the “Company”) which consists of 20,638,326 Shares underlying warrants to purchase Common Stock (each a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”) sold pursuant to an Inducement Letter dated June 4, 2024, between the Company and the selling securityholders (the “Selling Securityholders”) and a Common Stock Purchase Warrant dated June 4, 2024 (the “Common Stock Purchase Warrant”). Each Warrant is convertible into one share of Common Stock upon exercise, exercisable immediately, for a term of 60 months, at an exercise price of $0.27, subject to adjustment thereunder.

If the Selling Securityholders exercise their Warrants in full, the shares being registered for resale by the Selling Securityholders would represent approximately 35.4% of our current issued and outstanding Common Stock.

We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of these shares of common stock by the Selling Securityholder.

Our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SOBR”.

Investing in our common stock involves risks. SOBR Safe, Inc., currently has limited revenue, and limited assets, is in unsound financial condition, and you should not invest unless you can afford to lose your entire investment.

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

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

You should read the following summary together with the more detailed information and the financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Prospectus.

SOBR SAFE, INC.

Corporate Overview

On September 19, 2011, we, as Imagine Media, Ltd., a Delaware corporation, acquired approximately 52% of the outstanding shares of TransBiotec, Inc. (“TBT”), a California corporation, from TBT’s directors in exchange for 124,439 shares of our common stock. In January 2012, our Board of Directors amended our Certificate of Incorporation changing our name from Imagine Media, Ltd. to TransBiotec, Inc., and we acquired approximately 45% of the remaining outstanding shares of TBT in exchange for 109,979 shares of our common stock. With the acquisitions in September 2011 and January 2012 of TBT common stock, we own approximately 99% of the outstanding shares of TBT. As a result of the acquisitions, TBT’s business is our business, and, unless otherwise indicated, any references to “we” or “us” include the business and operations of TBT.

On March 9, 2020, our Board of Directors approved the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation and stockholders holding 52% of our then outstanding voting stock approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation. The Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation was for the purpose of, among other things, changing our name from “TransBiotec, Inc.” to “SOBR Safe, Inc.” The Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation became effective with the State of Delaware on April 24, 2020.

Pursuant to approval of an application with Nasdaq to uplist our common stock to their exchange under the ticker symbol “SOBR,” our common stock began trading and quoted on the Nasdaq exchange on May 16, 2023. Prior to this uplist to the Nasdaq exchange, our common stock was quoted on the “OTCQB” tier of the OTC Markets under the ticker symbol “SOBR.”

Our corporate offices are located at 6400 South Fiddlers Green Circle, Suite 1400, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111, telephone number (844) 762-7723.

Business Operations, Outlook and Challenges

We provide non-invasive technologies to quickly and humanely identify the presence of alcohol in individuals. Our mission is to save lives, positively impact behavioral outcomes and individual wellness, increase workplace safety and productivity, and create significant economic benefits. Our non-invasive technologies are integrated within our scalable and patent-pending software platform, SOBRsafe™, producing statistical, measurable business and user data. To that end, our SOBRsafe™ software platform, along with our integrated hardware devices used to provide non-invasive alcohol detection and identity verification, combine to create a robust solution that has current and potential applications in:

	➢	Behavioral health and wellness
	➢	Judicial administrative applications
	➢	Licensing and integration
	➢	Commercial environments, including but not limited to oil and gas, fleet management, telematics, ride share programs, and general workplace safety
	➢	Individual consumer use, including co-parenting trust, personal accountability, and teen driver safety

Table of Contents

SOBRcheck™

Our SOBRcheck™ device is a patent-pending, touch-based identity verification and alcohol detection solution. Users place two fingers on the device sensors, one compares biometric data points from the finger to confirm identity, while the other senses alcohol released through the pores of the fingertip. The touch-based device connects to the SOBRsafe™ software solution to collect, present and communicate data collected to subscribed parties. The SOBRcheck™ device has been in commercial production since the first quarter of 2022 and we have executed customer agreements since that time.

SOBRsure™

Our SOBRsure™ device is a patent-pending, fitness-style wearable band with an alcohol detection solution intended for discrete, low-profile and voluntary use providing real-time alcohol monitoring and GPS tracking. The wearable band is a device which includes a contained sensor which senses alcohol released through the pores of the skin. The wearable band connects to a mobile device via Bluetooth communication where the SOBRsafe™ mobile application collects and transmits data to the SOBRsafe™ software solution. The SOBRsure™ device provides passive, real-time alcohol insights to administrators, clinicians, parents and more, and also includes device removal and service interruption notifications. The SOBRsure™ is in commercial production and became available for sale in late September 2023.

Our SOBRsafe™ technology can also be deployed across numerous additional devices for various uses. We are currently exploring possible integrations with existing telematics systems and licensing by non-competitive third parties.

We believe our device portfolio approach could yield a substantial repository of user data – a potentially monetizable asset for statistical analytics. The opportunity to collect data points over time could enable the development of business and insurance liability benchmarking, through artificial intelligence (AI), powerful guidance for perpetual safety improvement and associated cost savings capture. By demonstrating substance-free environments, organizations could deliver a data-driven argument for lowering insurance premiums. We could potentially partner with insurance providers to mandate use of the SOBRsafe™ devices and/or technology.

Table of Contents

Design, manufacturing, quality testing and distribution for all SOBRsafe™ integrated devices takes place in the United States.

Our products continue to gain awareness and recognition through trade shows, media exposure, social media and product demonstrations. To generate sales, we have a three-part strategy: 1) direct sales to businesses and consumers, 2) enter into agreements with channel partners and 3) enter into licensing and integration agreements. We currently employ four highly experienced sales professionals facilitating direct sales and channel partner relationships. Licensing and integration opportunities with non-competitive third parties continue in preliminary stages. We anticipate hiring an expert in licensing and integrations in 2024 to formulate and execute an expansion plan.

Marketing

We have developed a marketing plan that includes:

	➢	consumer and enterprise e-commerce web-solutions
	➢	search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM)
	➢	digital and social media campaigns
	➢	online paid advertising placements
	➢	brand ambassadors, affiliate partners and social media influencers,
	➢	public relations initiatives and trade shows
	➢	direct business to business target campaigns,
	➢	alcohol detection/testing channel partners,
	➢	territorial sales agents,
	➢	advocacy group alignment,
	➢	ongoing brand development and
	➢	continuous pursuit of cutting-edge technologies for future integration.

As of August 23, 2024, we have retained four channel partners to augment our sales and marketing efforts, serving business customers with SOBRsafe™ technology solutions, including the SOBRcheck™ and SOBRsure™ devices.

Intellectual Property

We possess the following patent and pending patent applications related to our SOBRsafe™ system and related devices:

	1)	U.S. Patent No. 9,296,298, entitled “Alcohol detection system for vehicle driver testing with integral temperature compensation”, which expires in 2032.
	2)	U.S. Patent Application No. 17/996,996, entitled “Noninvasive Transdermal Alcohol Screening System,” and related foreign filings in Canada and Europe.
	3)	U.S. Patent Application No. 18/251,567, entitled “Wearable Data Collection Device With Non-Invasive Sensing,” and related foreign filings in Canada, Europe, and Mexico.
	4)	U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63,502,580, entitled “Vehicle Diagnostic Port Dongle for Preventing Vehicle Start.”

We are currently applying for the related patents to convert our Provisionals as part of our patent defense strategy.

We applied for trademarks related to the SOBRsafe™ system, SOBRcheck™ and SOBRsure™, and “SOBR” as standard characters with no specific formatting.

Government Regulation

As we utilize a unique “Pass/Fail” methodology that simply alerts to the presence of alcohol (as opposed to measuring a discrete BrAC) - information that may be used at the discretion of the employer (or counselor, parent, etc.) - we do not believe we will be subject to any government regulation in the targeted alcohol detection markets including Behavioral Health, Justice, Alcohol Rehabilitation, Consumer, Facility & Fleet, or Young Driver markets. In the Judicial market, regulations vary significantly by state; some states only allow for the use of certain methodologies like breath or urine, while others do not specify and there exists no regulated barrier to entry for a transdermal solution.

Human Capital Resources and Employees

As of August 23, 2024, there are a total of 14 full time employees, including Company officers Chairman/Chief Executive Officer/Secretary, David Gandini, and Chief Financial Officer, Christopher Whitaker. The employee base primarily operates from our corporate offices located in Greenwood Village, Colorado. Employees who operate remotely from our corporate offices primarily consist of territorial sales and business development representatives. The remainder of our workforce consists of professional consultants in supporting roles due to the size and nature of our business.

Oversight and Management

Our executive officers are tasked with leading our organization in managing employment-related matters, including recruiting and hiring, onboarding and training, compensation planning and talent management and development. We are committed to providing team members with the training and resources necessary to continually strengthen their skills. Our executive team is responsible for periodically reviewing development and training programs, diversity efforts, business ethics and compliance training, team member benefit programs and initiatives, including healthcare and other benefits, as well as our management development and succession planning practices. Management periodically reports to the Board and the Compensation Committee regarding our human capital measures and results that guide how we attract, compensate, retain and develop a workforce to enable our business strategies.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

We believe that a diverse workforce is critical to our success, and we continue to monitor and improve the application of our hiring, retention, compensation and advancement processes for women and underrepresented populations across our workforce, including persons of color, veterans and LGBTQ+ to enhance our inclusive and diverse culture. We continue to invest in recruiting diverse talent.

Workplace Safety and Health

A vital part of our business is providing our workforce with a safe, healthy and sustainable working environment. We focus on implementing change through workforce observation and feedback channels to recognize risk and continuously improve our processes.

		This prospectus also relates to the offering of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

RISK FACTORS

Any investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the following information, together with the other information contained in this Prospectus and in the “Risk Factors” section of the 2023 Form 10-K and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, each of which has been filed with the SEC and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus, before you decide to buy our common stock. We face risks in developing devices based on our SOBRsafe™ platform, as well in marketing and selling such devices. If we are not successful in developing, marketing, and/or selling devices based on our SOBRsafe™ platform we will not be successful in generating revenue. The following risks and risk factors incorporated by reference are material risks that we face. If any of the events or developments discussed below or in our documents incorporated by reference occur, our business, our ability to achieve revenues, our operating results and our financial condition could be seriously harmed. In such an event, the fair value of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our operations.

Risks Related to this Offering

The Selling Securityholders may sell their shares of common stock in the open market, which may cause our stock price to decline.

The Selling Securityholders may sell their shares of common stock being registered in this offering in the public market. That means that up to 20,638,326 shares of common stock, the number of shares being registered in this offering for sale by the Selling Securityholders if they exercise the Warrants, may be sold in the public market. Such sales will likely cause our stock price to decline.

Sale of our common stock by the Selling Securityholders could encourage short sales by third parties, which could contribute to the further decline of our stock price.

The significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock caused by the sale of material amounts of common stock could encourage short sales by third parties. Such an event could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock.

Table of Contents

In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Securityholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

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

The Company agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Securityholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Section 1 of Article VI of our Articles of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware we will indemnify our officers and directors from and against any and all expenses, liabilities, or other matters.

Section 2 of Article VI of our Articles of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no director or officer shall be personally liable to the corporation or its shareholders for damages for breach of any duty owed to the corporation or its shareholders.

Article XI of our Amended and Restated Bylaws further addresses indemnification of our directors and officers and allows us to indemnify our directors and officers in the event they meet certain criteria in terms of acting in good faith and in an official capacity within the scope of their duties, when such conduct leads them to be involved in a legal action.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

From March 2021 through May 31, 2021, we conducted a “Unit” offering under Rule 506 of Regulation D, with each Unit consisting of a $50,000 principal amount convertible debenture (the “Secured Debentures”) and a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 8,334 shares of our common stock. The holders of the Secured Debentures and the Warrants are the Selling Securityholders herein. The Secured Debentures mature two (2) years after issuance. The Secured Debentures will not be redeemable but contain an automatic conversion feature, which will cause all principal and interest due under the Debenture to automatically convert if our common stock closes at or above $6.00 per share on NASDAQ for five (5) consecutive trading days. Interest on each investor’s Secured Debenture accrues at a rate of 12% per annum, beginning on the date we have access to the investor’s funds. At the date of their investment, investors elected to have the interest due under the Secured Debenture paid in cash monthly or have the interest accrue and be payable on the maturity date of the Secured Debenture. For investors that elect to accrue the interest due under the Secured Debenture, the interest will be paid in cash or may be converted into shares of our common stock under the same terms as the principal amount on the maturity date. The Secured Debentures will be convertible at any time, and from time to time, beginning on the date of issuance, into shares of our common stock. The Secured Debentures will be convertible at nine dollars ($9.00) per share; provided, however, that the right of conversion will be limited by the terms of the Secured Debentures to the extent necessary to ensure that each Debenture holder will never beneficially own more than 4.9% of our class of common stock at any one time while any portion of the holder’s Debenture remains outstanding. The repayment of the Secured Debentures is secured by our current patent and patent applications. The Warrant attached to each Unit gives the investor the right to purchase 8,334 shares of our common stock. The Warrants are exercisable at any time, and from time to time, beginning on the date of issuance and expiring two (2) years after issuance, into shares of our common stock at an exercise price of nine dollars ($9.00) per share. In the event our common stock closes at or above $6.00 per share on NASDAQ for five (5) consecutive trading days then we have the right to notify the holder of the Warrants that we plan to purchase the Warrants for $0.30 each, which begins a sixty (60) day period for the holder to exercise the Warrants or we may purchase them for $0.30 each. Under this offering, we issued secured convertible promissory notes totaling $2,005,000 to 25 non-affiliated investors, and one then-affiliate investor – Mr. Ford Fay, one of our directors ($50,000) and additional investors that are now affiliates - Mr. James Bardy (through an entity he controls entitled Financial House, LLC) ($100,000) and Mr. Scott Bennett, our Executive Vice-President of Operations ($50,000), and warrants to purchase 334,167 shares of our common stock with the notes and warrants having the terms described above.

**XBRL (Extensible Business Reporting Language) information is furnished and not filed or a part of a registration statement or prospectus for purposes of Sections 11 or 12 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is deemed not filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and otherwise is not subject to liability under these sections.

(b) Financial Statement Schedules

Schedules not listed above have been omitted because the information required to be set forth therein is not applicable or is shown in the financial statements or the notes thereto.

Undertakings

	A.	Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person 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, we will, unless in the opinion of our 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.

	B.	The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)

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

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

	(b)	To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (Section 230.424(b) of Regulation S-K) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

	(c)	To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

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

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