The second part is the accompanying prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference, which gives more general information about the securities we may offer from time to time, some of which does not apply to our common stock we are currently offering. Generally, when we refer to this prospectus, we are referring to both parts of this document combined.

This summary is not complete and does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in our securities pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

Overview
We are a drone technology company integrating robotic hardware and software for military, government and commercial operations. The Company was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado in 1984 under the name Oravest International, Inc. In November 2016, we changed our name to TimefireVR, Inc. and re-incorporated in Nevada. In May 2019, the Company completed a share exchange agreement with Propware which resulted in the Propware shareholders acquiring an 83% ownership interest, and management control, of the Company. In connection with the share exchange agreement, we changed our name to Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (“Red Cat” or the “Company” or “we”) and our operating focus to the drone industry.
Prior to the share exchange agreement, Propware was focused on the research and development of software solutions that could provide secure cloud-based analytics, storage and services for the drone industry. Following the share exchange agreement and its name change, Red Cat has completed a series of acquisitions and financings which have broadened the scope of its activities in the drone industry. These acquisitions included:
● | In January 2020, the Company acquired Rotor Riot, a reseller of drones and related parts, primarily to the consumer marketplace through its digital storefront located at www.rotorriot.com. The total purchase price was $2.0 million. Rotor Riot was sold in February 2024 to Unusual Machines. |
● | In November 2020, the Company acquired Fat Shark which sells consumer electronics products to the first-person view (“FPV”) sector of the drone industry. Fat Shark’s flagship products are headsets with a built-in display (or “goggles”) that allow a pilot to see a real-time video feed from a camera typically mounted on an aerial platform or drone. The total purchase price was $8.4 million. Fat Shark was sold in February 2024 to Unusual Machines. |
● | In May 2021, the Company acquired Skypersonic, a provider of drone products and software solutions that enable drone inspection flights that can be executed by pilots anywhere in the world. Skypersonic powers drones to “Fly Anywhere” and “Inspect the Impossible”. Its patented software and hardware solutions allow for inspection services in restricted spaces where GPS is denied or unavailable. The total purchase price was $2.8 million. Skypersonic’s technology has been redirected to military applications and its operations consolidated into Teal. |
● | In August 2021, the Company acquired Teal, a leader in providing sophisticated and complex unmanned aerial vehicle (“UAV”) technology, primarily drones, to government and commercial enterprises, most notably, the military. Teal manufactures drones approved by the U.S. Department of Defense for reconnaissance, public safety, and inspection applications. The total purchase price was $10.0 million. |
● | In September 2024, the Company acquired FlightWave Aerospace Systems Corporation, an industry-leading provider of VTOL drone, sensor and software solutions, under an Asset Purchase Agreement. As part of the acquisition, the Company created a new subsidiary, FW Acquisition Inc. for ongoing operations. The total purchase price was $14.0 million. |
Third Amendment to Lind Secured Note Financing

Under the terms of the Lind Amendment, and in exchange for Lind waiving its right to purchase up to 20% of the securities issued in an equity financing, the Company and Lind amended the Promissory Note and the Warrants to (1) exempt any adjustments from this offering to the conversion price of the Promissory Notes and exercise price of the Warrants; (2) remove the Company’s election to pay, in certain circumstances, up to 50% of the conversion amount under the Promissory Note in cash; and (3) remove the Company’s right to prepay the Promissory Note.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully review the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, and under similar headings in our most recent Transition Report on Form 10-KT, as updated by our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other future filings, reports and documents under the Exchange Act, that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, before deciding whether to purchase any of the securities being registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Each of the risk factors could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities, and the occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also significantly impair our business operations.
In addition, please read the section of this prospectus captioned “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” in which we describe additional uncertainties associated with our business and the forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Please note that additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business and operations. Investment in the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus involves risks and uncertainties. Our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The market or trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to This Offering and Our Common Stock
The price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly, and this may make it difficult for you to resell shares of our common stock owned by you at times or at prices you find attractive.
The trading price of our common stock may fluctuate widely as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. In addition, the stock market is subject to fluctuations in the share prices and trading volumes that affect the market prices of the shares of many companies. These broad market fluctuations have adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Among the factors that could affect our stock price are:
● | adverse economic conditions, trade policies, political conditions, outbreaks of war, disasters, or regulatory or other policy changes in states or countries where we have a concentration of our business; | |
● | fluctuations in our financial results, revenues and expenses; | |
● | quarterly and annual variations in our operating results; | |
● | changes in the market’s expectations about our operating results; | |
● | loss of revenues; | |
● | fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; | |
● | our operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period; | |
● | changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning us or the industries in which we operate in general; | |
● | operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us; | |
● | news reports relating to trends in our markets | |
● | changes in laws and regulations affecting our business; |
S-3 |
● | material announcements by us or our competitors; | |
● | the impact or perceived impact of developments relating to our acquisitions such as the Transactions, including the possible perception by securities analysts or investors that such acquisitions divert management attention from our core operations; | |
● | market volatility; | |
● | changes in the U.S.-based credit markets; | |
● | changes in current U.S. or global economic conditions, including an extended slowdown in the markets in which we operate; | |
● | a downgrade to our corporate credit rating, the credit ratings of our outstanding debt or other market speculation; | |
● | general conditions in the industries in which we operate; | |
● | our investments in geographic expansion and to increase our presence in existing markets; | |
● | our ability to successfully execute our growth strategy; | |
● | a cybersecurity attack or any other interruption in information technology and/or data security that may impact our operations or the operations of third parties that support us; | |
● | legal proceedings; | |
● | our ability to comply with non-U.S. laws, regulations and policies; and | |
● | sales of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock by our directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur. |
In recent years, the stock market, and in particular, our industry sector, has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. Such fluctuations, as well as general political conditions, the current economic conditions, or interest rate or currency rate fluctuations, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. This volatility frequently has occurred without regard to the operating performance of the affected companies, and the price of our common stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with us, which could materially reduce our share price.
Our stock price may be negatively affected by fluctuations in our financial results.
The market price of our common stock may be subject to fluctuations due not only to general economic and stock market conditions but also to a change in sentiment in the market regarding our operations, business prospects, liquidity or this offering. Our operating results, revenues and expenses may also fluctuate for many other reasons, many of which are outside of our control, such as: competition; our ability to control expenses; loss of revenues; changes or consolidation in the industries in which we operate; our investments in geographic expansion and to increase our presence in existing markets; interest rate fluctuations; successful execution of our strategic growth plans; managerial execution; employee retention; growing risks associated with international operations; foreign currency and exchange rate fluctuations; inflation; litigation; acquisitions of other companies or assets; or our investments in other corporate resources. In addition, changes in accounting policies or practices may affect our level of net income. Fluctuations in our financial results, revenues and expenses may cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
If securities or industry press or analysts cease covering our common stock, publish negative research or reports about our business, or if they change their recommendations regarding our common stock adversely, the share price and trading volume of our common stock could decline.
The trading market for shares of our common stock may be influenced by the articles, research and reports that industry or securities analysts and press publish about us or our business. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our common stock, or if industry press publishes negative articles about our Company, the share price of our common stock would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceased coverage of our Company or failed to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our share price or trading volume to decline.
S-4 |
Our management team may invest or spend the proceeds raised in this offering in ways with which you may not agree or which may not yield a significant return.
Our management will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. The failure by management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, cause the price of our common stock to decline, and delay the development of our product candidates.
If you purchase securities in this offering, you may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.
We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations, including research and development, increased marketing, hiring new personnel, commercializing our products, and continuing activities as an operating public company. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities in more than one transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and new investors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.
We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our shares of common stock so any returns will be limited to the value of our shares.
We have never paid or declared any cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, future prospects, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. Therefore, any return to shareholders will be limited to the increase, if any, of our share price.
We are currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. If we are unable to maintain listing of our securities on Nasdaq or any stock exchange, our stock price could be adversely affected and the liquidity of our stock and our ability to obtain financing could be impaired and it may be more difficult for our shareholders to sell their securities.
Although our common stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, we may not be able to continue to meet the exchange’s minimum listing requirements or those of any other national exchange. The Listing Rules of Nasdaq require listing issuers to comply with certain standards in order to remain listed on its exchange. If, for any reason, we should fail to maintain compliance with these listing standards and Nasdaq should delist our securities from trading on its exchange and we are unable to obtain listing on another national securities exchange, a reduction in some or all of the following may occur, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our shareholders:
● | the liquidity of our common stock; |
● | the market price of our common stock; |
● | our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations; |
● | the number of investors that will consider investing in our common stock; |
● | the number of market makers in our common stock; |
● | the availability of information concerning the trading prices and volume of our common stock; and |
● | the number of broker-dealers willing to execute trades in shares of our common stock. |
S-5 |
Risks Related to Our Operations
Our financial success is dependent on contracts awarded through a lengthy, uncertain and competitive process
Certain federal government, as well as commercial contracts, are awarded through a lengthy, uncertain and competitive process that could be a year or more from the initial solicitation to final contract award. We expect that certain business we seek in the foreseeable future will be awarded through lengthy and competitive procedures. Competitive contractual processes impose substantial upfront costs and present a number of risks and uncertainties, including:
● | the substantial cost and managerial time and effort that we spend to prepare bids and proposals for contracts that may not be awarded to us; |
● | potential requirements to prove a performance guarantee as part of a bid submission; |
● | the expense and delay that we may face if our competitors protest or challenge contract awards made to us pursuant to competitive procedures; |
● | that any such process requires resubmission of offers, or termination, reduction, or modification of the awarded contract; and |
● | failure to obtain certain such contracts or awards upon which our business is dependent. |
The risks we face in the process to secure contracts may be substantial and, to the extent we participate in such processes and are unable to win particular contracts, there may be a negative effect on our operating results and substantial impact on our realized revenues.
Risks Related to Being a Public Company
We identified a material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, and may in the future identify additional material weaknesses. Until we remediate the identified material weakness or if we identify additional material weaknesses, we may not be able to accurately and timely report our financial results, in which case our business may be harmed and investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports.
Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
In connection with the Company’s evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, we identified instances in which we were unable to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have an adequate level of supervision and segregation of duties. Therefore, management concluded that we did not have a comprehensive and formalized accounting and financial reporting policies and procedures manual by which management could monitor potential errors or technical accounting requirements. While this material weakness did not result in a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements presented in our Transition Report on Form 10-KT filed on March 31, 2025, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 14, 2025, nor in any restatements of consolidated financial statements previously reported by us, it could in the future result in misstatements or restatements of our financial statements.
We are in the process of implementing measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting and remediate the deficiencies that led to the material weaknesses, including training, designing and implementing new control activities, and enhancing existing control activities.
We are working to remediate the material weaknesses as efficiently and effectively as possible and expect full remediation. At this time, we cannot provide an estimate of costs expected to be incurred or precise timing in connection with implementing this remediation plan; however, these remediation measures will be time consuming, will result in the Company incurring additional costs, and will place additional demands on our financial and operational resources.
If we are unable to successfully remediate existing or any future material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting may be adversely affected, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting, and/or we could become subject to litigation or investigations by The Nasdaq Capital Market, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.

We expect to receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately $43.8 million after deducting our estimated offering expenses.
We currently intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered hereby for general corporate and working capital purposes, including but not limited to operating expenditures related to our new unmanned surface vessel division. This expected use of net proceeds from this offering and our existing cash represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business conditions evolve. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering. See “Risk Factors - Our management team may invest or spend the proceeds raised in this offering in ways with which you may not agree or which may not yield a significant return.” Pending the use of the net proceeds from this offering, if any, we may invest the net proceeds in investment grade, short-term interest-bearing obligations, such as money-market funds, certificates of deposit, or direct or guaranteed obligations of the United States government, or hold the net proceeds as cash.
As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot predict with certainty all the uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the completion of this offering or the amounts we will spend on the uses set forth above.

If you purchase securities in the offering, you will experience immediate dilution to the extent of the difference between the effective public offering price per share of $7.25 per share of common stock and our as-adjusted pro forma net tangible book value per share immediately after the offering. Net tangible book value per share is equal to the amount of our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. As of March 31, 2025, our net tangible book value was approximately $3.2 million, or approximately $0.04 per share.
After giving effect the issuance of 4,725,412 shares sold through a registered direct offering on April 10, 2025 for which we received net proceeds of approximately $28.0 million, our pro forma net tangible book value as of March 31, 2025 would have been $31.2 million, or $0.35 per share.
Based on the sale by us in this offering of 6,448,276 shares of common stock at an offering price of $7.25 per share for net proceeds of approximately $43.8 million after deducting estimated offering expenses and placement agent fees and expenses payable by us, our as adjusted pro forma net tangible book value as of March 31, 2025 was approximately $75.0 million, or $0.77 per share of our common stock. This represents an immediate increase in as adjusted pro forma net tangible book value to existing stockholders of $0.42 per share of our common stock and an immediate dilution to purchasers in this offering of $6.48 per share of our common stock.
The following table illustrates this per-share of our common stock dilution:
Effective offering price per share of common stock | $ | 7.25 | ||||||

Overview
The Company was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado in 1984 under the name Oravest International, Inc. In November 2016, we changed our name to TimefireVR, Inc. and re-incorporated in Nevada. In May 2019, the Company completed a share exchange agreement with Propware which resulted in the Propware shareholders acquiring an 83% ownership interest, and management control, of the Company. In connection with the share exchange agreement, we changed our name to Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (“Red Cat” or the “Company” or “we”) and our operating focus to the drone industry.
Prior to the share exchange agreement, Propware was focused on the research and development of software solutions that could provide secure cloud-based analytics, storage and services for the drone industry. Following the share exchange agreement and its name change, Red Cat has completed a series of acquisitions and financings which have broadened the scope of its activities in the drone industry. These acquisitions included:
● In January 2020, we acquired Rotor Riot, a reseller of drones and related parts, primarily to the consumer marketplace through its digital storefront located at www.rotorriot.com. The total purchase price was $2.0 million.
3 |
● In November 2020, the Company acquired Fat Shark which sells consumer electronics products to the first-person view (“FPV”) sector of the drone industry. Fat Shark’s flagship products are headsets with a built-in display (or “goggles”) that allow a pilot to see a real-time video feed from a camera typically mounted on an aerial platform or drone. The total purchase price was $8.4 million.
● In May 2021, we acquired Skypersonic, a provider of drone products and software solutions that enable drone inspection flights that can be executed by pilots anywhere in the world. Skypersonic powers drones to “Fly Anywhere” and “Inspect the Impossible”. Its patented software and hardware solutions allow for inspection services in restricted spaces where GPS is denied or unavailable. The total purchase price was $2.8 million.
● In August 2021, the Company acquired Teal, a leader in providing sophisticated and complex unmanned aerial vehicle (“UAV”) technology, primarily drones, to government and commercial enterprises, most notably, the military. Teal manufactures drones approved by the U.S. Department of Defense for reconnaissance, public safety, and inspection applications. The total purchase price was $10.0 million.
Following the Teal acquisition in August 2021, we concentrated on integrating and organizing these businesses. Effective May 1, 2022, we established the Enterprise segment and the Consumer segment to focus on the unique opportunities in each sector. The Enterprise segment’s initial strategy was to provide UAVs to commercial enterprises, and the military, to navigate dangerous military environments and confined industrial and commercial interior spaces. Subsequently, the segment narrowed its near-term attention on the military and other government agencies. Skypersonic’s technology has been redirected to military applications and its operations consolidated into Teal.
The Enterprise segment’s current business strategy is focused on providing integrated robotic hardware and software for use across a variety of applications. Its solutions provide critical situational awareness and actionable intelligence to on-the-ground warfighters and battlefield commanders as well as firefighters and public safety officials. Our Enterprise segment’s efforts are centered on developing and scaling an American made family of systems. We have since completed construction of a manufacturing facility in Salt Lake City and believe that an increased focus by the United States government and American businesses on purchasing products that are “Made in America” provide our Enterprise segment with a competitive advantage.
On February 16, 2024, we closed the sale of our Consumer segment, consisting of Rotor Riot and Fat Shark, to Unusual Machines, Inc. (or “Unusual Machines” or “UMAC”). The sale reflects our decision to focus our efforts and capital on defense where we believe there are more opportunities to create long term shareholder value.
Key Business Accomplishments during Fiscal 2024 and to date include:
Scaling Teal 2, a military-grade sUAS Designed to “Dominate the Night™”
Following its acquisition by Red Cat in August 2021, Teal accelerated efforts on the development of its next generation drone for our Enterprise segment. These efforts culminated in the launch of the Teal 2 in April 2023. The Teal 2 is the first small, unmanned aircraft system (“sUAS”) designed to “Dominate the Night”, when most combat operations take place, through its enhanced capabilities. The Teal 2 offers the latest intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (“ISR”) technology and delivers time-critical information that enables the warfighter to make faster and smarter decisions.
The Teal 2 is manufactured exclusively at Teal’s purpose-built factory in Salt Lake City, Utah. Teal originally moved into the facility in October 2021. In January 2022, Teal doubled the size of the facility, which now totals approximately 22,000 square feet, to fully scale production capacity to meet the forecast growth in demand and to house its expanding team of software and technology engineers. We believe that maximum production capacity for this facility can reach 5,000 or more drones per month over the next few years, provided that additional capital investments are made and manufacturing efficiencies realized. Manufacturing in the United States, “Made in the USA,” is a critical consideration of the U.S. government and other state and local government agencies.
4 |
During Fiscal 2024, Teal continued to scale the manufacturing facility, including dedicated teams for production and assembly, manufacturing engineering, supply chain and logistics, warranty and returns, as well as a flight operations team that is focused on manufacturing and quality assurance and quality control.
Designation of Teal 2 as Blue UAS received from U.S. Department of Defense
In June 2023, the Teal 2 received clearance from the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) to be designated as a Blue UAS. The DoD defines these drones as NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) compliant, validated as cyber secure, and safe to fly. This designation enables Teal to fill orders from federal, state, and local government agencies subject to oversight by the DoD, including those orders that were contingent upon receiving certification. In addition, many governments of allied nations are more likely to purchase Blue UAS approved drones. Teal’s legacy drone, the Golden Eagle, is also on the cleared list.
After the U.S. Army banned its forces from using Chinese-made quadcopters due to security risks (the radio controls of the drone are unencrypted and the devices could potentially capture, store and upload sensitive information to the Chinese government), the DoD began developing its own alternatives under a defense program known as Blue sUAS. Blue sUAS is an initiative of the Defense Innovation Unit (“DIU”), the only DoD organization focused on accelerating the adoption of commercial and dual use technology to solve operational challenges at a speed and scale that is faster and higher than normal for government agencies.
Red Cat Futures Initiative
In May 2024, we announced the formation of the Red Cat Futures Initiative (RFI). RFI is an independent, industry- wide consortium of robotics and autonomous systems (RAS) partners dedicated to putting the most advanced and interoperable uncrewed aircraft systems into the hands of warfighters. Anchored by Red Cat’s Teal Drones, the RFI unites the world’s most innovative UAS hardware and software companies focused on AI/ML, swarming, FPV, command and control, and payloads.
Founding members include Ocean Power Technologies (NYSE: OPTT), Sentien Robotics, Primordial Labs, Athena AI, Unusual Machines, Reach Power, Doodle Labs, and MMS Products. The shared goal is advocacy, integrations and comarketing that bridges considerable technology gaps through modular open architecture.
Government Contracts and Orders
The Enterprise segment is focused on U.S. federal government agencies, particularly the DoD, as its initial target market. Its longer term target customer base includes U.S. state and local government agencies, as well as governments of foreign allies. An overview of existing government contracts and recent developments include:
Selection for U.S. Army Short Range Reconnaissance Program of Record
On November 19, 2024, we announced that Teal was selected as the winner of the U.S. Army’s Short Range Reconnaissance (SRR) Program of Record. The goal of the program is to provide a small, rucksack portable, fully encrypted small, unmanned aircraft system (“sUAS”) that provides all Army infantry platoons (consisting of 20-50 soldiers) with situational awareness beyond the next terrain. The production selection was made after a test and evaluation process of Teal’s next generation sUAS, completed by the Army Project Management Office for Uncrewed Aircraft Systems, Army Maneuver Battle Lab, Army Test and Evaluation Command, and Army Operational Test Center.

U.S. Border Patrol
$1.8 Million Purchase Order from U.S. Border Patrol
In September 2023, Teal was awarded a $1.8 million contract from U.S. Customs and Border Protection to provide Teal 2 systems to U.S. Border Patrol. The U.S. Border Patrol is using the Teal 2 to provide supplemental airborne reconnaissance, surveillance and tracking capability, enhancing situational awareness for U.S. field commanders and agents.
Customs and Border Protection Contract Worth up to $90 Million over Five Years
In December 2021, Teal was one of only five contractors designated to participate in a firm, fixed price, multiple award blanket purchase agreement (BPA) by the United States Customs and Border Protection. The BPA has an estimated value of $90 million in total over a 5-year period.
The Department of Homeland Security agencies can place orders through the BPA for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). The drones will provide supplemental airborne reconnaissance, surveillance, and tracking capability to enhance situational awareness for field commanders and agents in areas that lack nearby traditional surveillance systems or available manned air support.
U.S. Defense Logistics Agency
In August 2023, Teal received two purchase orders totaling $5.2 million from the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). Both orders were requested by U.S. Air Force Security Forces, whose role is to defend Air Force bases and installations.
The procurements were sourced by global operations support company Noble Supply & Logistics, LLC (NOBLE) as part of the DLA’s Special Operational Equipment Tailored Logistics Support (“SOE TLS Program”). NOBLE is a DLA- designated provider for the SOE TLS Program. This 10-year program, capped at $33 billion, covers the delivery of logistics support to federal agencies, military bases and other DLA customers worldwide, helping them meet their special operational equipment requirements.
NATO Allied Countries
In March 2024, Teal received $2.5 million in new contract awards with two NATO allied countries. As part of our expanded global sales strategy, the contract delivery featured Teal 2 drone systems, training, and accessories.

Common Stock Issuable Upon: (1) Conversion or Other Payment of Senior Secured Promissory Notes issued September 23, 2024 and November 26, 2024; and (2) Exercise of Common Stock Purchase Warrants issued September 23, 2024 and November 26, 2024.
On September 23, 2024, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Lind Global Asset Management X LLC (“Lind”). Under the terms of the SPA, we issued to Lind: (1) a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the amount of $9,600,000 (the “Note”); and (ii) Common Stock Purchase Warrant for the purchase of 750,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $6.50 per share, exercisable for 5 years (the “Warrant”).
The Note, which does not accrue interest, shall be repaid in eighteen (18) consecutive monthly installments in the amount of $533,334 beginning six months from the issuance date. At our option, monthly payments can be increased up to $1,000,000 so long as our market capitalization is at least $50 million. In addition, if the Repayment Share Price (as defined below) is equal to or greater than $2.00, Lind can, at its option, increase the monthly payment amount up to $1,300,000 for up to two months. The monthly payments due under the Note may be made by the issuance of common stock valued at the Repayment Share Price, cash in an amount equal to 1.025 times the required payment amount, or a combination thereof. The Repayment Share Price is defined in the Note as ninety percent (90%) of the average of the five (5) consecutive lowest daily VWAPs for our common stock during the twenty (20) trading days prior to the payment date, subject to a floor price of $0.75 per share.
The Note may be converted by Lind from time to time at a price of $6.50 per share (the “Conversion Price”). The dollar amount of any conversions by Lind will be applied toward required Note payments in chronological order. The Note may be prepaid in whole upon 5 days’ notice, but in the event of a prepayment notice, Lind may convert up to 25% of principal amount due at the lesser of the Repayment Share Price (but only if the Repayment Share Price is equal to or greater than $2.00) or the Conversion Price.
On November 26, 2024, we entered into a First Amendment to the SPA (the “SPA Amendment”). Under the terms of the SPA Amendment, we issued to Lind: (1) an additional Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the amount of $7,200,000 (the “Second Note”); and (ii) a Common Stock Purchase Warrant for the purchase of 326,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $9.20 per share, exercisable for 5 years (the “Second Warrant”).
The Second Note, which does not accrue interest, shall be repaid in eighteen (18) consecutive monthly installments in the amount of $400,000 beginning six months from the issuance date. At our option, monthly payments can be increased up to $750,000 so long as our market capitalization is at least $50 million. In addition, if the Repayment Share Price (as defined below) is equal to or greater than $2.00, Lind can, at its option, increase the monthly payment amount up to $975,000 for up to two months. The monthly payments due under the Second Note may be made by the issuance of common stock valued at the Repayment Share Price, cash in an amount equal to 1.025 times the required payment amount, or a combination thereof. The Repayment Share Price is defined in the Second Note as ninety percent (90%) of the average of the five (5) consecutive lowest daily VWAPs for our common stock during the twenty (20) trading days prior to the payment date, subject to a floor price of $0.75 per share.
The Second Note may be converted by Lind from time to time at a price of $9.20 per share (the “Conversion Price”). The dollar amount of any conversions by Lind will be applied toward upcoming Second Note payments in chronological order. The Second Note may be prepaid in whole upon 5 days’ notice, but in the event of a prepayment notice, Lind may convert up to 25% of principal amount due at the lesser of the Repayment Share Price (but only if the Repayment Share Price is equal to or greater than $2.00) or the Conversion Price.
A total of up to 23,476,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon: (i) conversions of the Note and the Second Note and/or payments under the Note and the Second Note made by issuance of common stock, as provided for therein; and (ii) exercises of the Warrant and the Second Warrant, may be offered hereby in a secondary offering for the account of Lind and/or its successors and assigns. The applicable prospectus supplement will specify the number of shares of common stock to be offered for the account of Lind and/or its successors and assigns.

Common Stock Issuable Upon Exercise of Common Stock Purchase Warrants issued October 5, 2020.
On October 5, 2020, we closed a private offering of convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000. As additional consideration to the convertible note investors in that offering, we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 399,996 shares of our common stock, exercisable for five years (the “October 2020 Warrants”). Currently, October 2020 Warrants to purchase a total of 266,666 shares of our common stock remain issued and outstanding.

The outstanding October 2020 Warrants are held by Cavalry Fund I, LP (66,666 warrants) and our Director, Nicholas Liuzza, Jr. (200,000 warrants).

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK
Pursuant to our articles of incorporation, our board of directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, in one or more series. Our articles of incorporation, as amended, provide that our Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by the shareholders, to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon the preferred stock. Preferred stock may be designated and issued without authorization of shareholders unless such authorization is required by applicable law, the rules of the principal market or other securities exchange on which our stock is then listed or admitted to trading.
Our Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes could, under some circumstances, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company.
The description of preferred stock in this prospectus and the description of the terms of a particular series of preferred stock in any applicable prospectus supplement are not complete. You should refer to any applicable certificate of designation for complete information.
All shares of preferred stock offered hereby will, when issued, be fully paid and nonassessable, including shares of preferred stock issued upon the exercise of preferred stock warrants or subscription rights, if any.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
On May 15, 2019, we closed a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Red Cat Propware, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Red Cat Propware”) and its then current shareholders (the “Acquisition”) pursuant to which we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Red Cat Propware in exchange for our issuance of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Stock”) to the Red Cat Propware shareholders which constituted approximately 83.33% of our issued an outstanding share capital on a fully-diluted basis at such time. With the exception of shares held by our current Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey Thompson, the convertibility of shares of Series A Stock is limited such that a holder of Series A Stock may not convert Series A Stock to our common stock to the extent that the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock owned by the holder at such time, would result in the holder beneficially owning more than 4.99% of all of our outstanding common stock.
On May 15, 2019, we filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada a Certificate of Designation of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Certificate of Designation”). Pursuant to the Series A Certificate of Designation, the Company designated 2,200,000 shares of its blank check preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has no stated value. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, each share of Series A Preferred Stock will not be entitled to a per share preferential payment but will be entitled to participate in any distribution out of the assets of the Company on an equal basis per share with the holders of Common Stock, as if all shares of Series A Preferred Stock had been converted to Common Stock immediately prior to the distribution. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into 8.33 shares of common stock for every one share of Series A Preferred Stock held (the “A Conversion Rate”). The conversion ratio is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, combination of shares and similar recapitalization transactions. The Company is prohibited from effecting the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, the holder beneficially owns more than 4.99%, in the aggregate, which beneficial ownership limitation may be increased by the holder up to, but not exceeding, 9.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock calculated immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limit”). The Beneficial Ownership Limit is inapplicable to a shareholder who, in advance issuance of Series A Preferred Stock, specifically waives such limitations and our Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey Thompson, waived such limitations prior to the Red Cat Propware acquisition. Under the Series A Certificate of Designation, no consideration (including any modification of this Certificate of Designation or related transaction document) shall be offered or paid to any person or entity to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Certificate of Designation or related transaction document unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. There are no longer any shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
On May 13, 2019, we filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada a Certificate of Designation of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Certificate of Designation”). Pursuant to the Series B Certificate of Designation, the Company designated 4,300,000 shares of its blank check preferred stock as Series B Preferred Stock. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock has no stated value. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, each share of Series B Preferred Stock will not be entitled to a per share preferential payment but will be entitled to participate in any distribution out of the assets of the Company on an equal basis per share with the holders of Common Stock, as if all shares of Series B Preferred Stock had been converted to Common Stock immediately prior to the distribution. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into 0.83 shares of common stock for every one share of Series B Preferred Stock held (the “B Conversion Rate”). The conversion ratio is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, combination of shares and similar recapitalization transactions. The Company is prohibited from effecting the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, the holder beneficially owns more than 4.99%, in the aggregate, which beneficial ownership limitation may be increased by the holder up to, but not exceeding, 9.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock calculated immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limit”). Under the Series B Certificate of Designation, no consideration (including any modification of this Certificate of Designation or related transaction document) shall be offered or paid to any person or entity to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Certificate of Designation or related transaction document unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the holders of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
We may issue warrants for the purchase of preferred stock or common stock. Warrants may be issued independently or together with any preferred stock or common stock, and may be attached to or separate from any offered securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between a warrant agent specified in the agreement and us. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants of that series and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders or beneficial owners of warrants. This summary of some provisions of the warrants is not complete. You should refer to the warrant agreement, including the forms of warrant certificate representing the warrants, relating to the specific warrants being offered for the complete terms of the warrant agreement and the warrants.

Sale Through Underwriters or Dealers
Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement.
14 |
If underwriters are used in the sale, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account, including through underwriting, purchase, security lending or repurchase agreements with us. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions. Underwriters may sell the securities in order to facilitate transactions in any of our other securities (described in this prospectus or otherwise), including other public or private transactions and short sales. Underwriters may offer securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.
If dealers are used in the sale of securities offered through this prospectus, we will sell the securities to them as principals. They may then resell those securities to the public at varying prices determined by the dealers at the time of resale. The prospectus supplement will include the names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction.
Direct Sales and Sales Through Agents
We or a selling stockholder may sell the securities offered through this prospectus directly. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. Such securities may also be sold through agents designated from time to time. The prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities and will describe any commissions payable to the agent. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment.
We or a selling stockholder may sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any sale of those securities. The terms of any such sales will be described in the prospectus supplement.
Delayed Delivery Contracts
If the prospectus supplement indicates, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase securities at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described in the prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.
Continuous Offering Program
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we may enter into a continuous offering program equity distribution agreement with a broker-dealer, under which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock from time to time through a broker-dealer as our sales agent. If we enter into such a program, sales of the shares of common stock, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the Nasdaq Capital Market or other market on which are shares may then trade at market prices, block transactions and such other transactions as agreed upon by us and the broker- dealer. Under the terms of such a program, we also may sell shares of common stock to the broker-dealer, as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. If we sell shares of common stock to such broker-dealer as principal, we will enter into a separate terms agreement with such broker-dealer, and we will describe this agreement in a separate prospectus supplement or pricing supplement.
15 |
Market Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions
Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, other than our common stock, all securities we offer under this prospectus will be a new issue and will have no established trading market. We may elect to list offered securities on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market. Any underwriters that we use in the sale of offered securities may make a market in such securities, but may discontinue such market making at any time without notice. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the securities will have a liquid trading market.
Any underwriter may also engage in stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Rule 104 under the Securities Exchange Act. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security in the open market for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions.
Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be in the absence of the transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these transactions, discontinue them at any time.
General Information
Agents, underwriters, and dealers may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us, to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Our agents, underwriters, and dealers, or their affiliates, may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business.
The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock described in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement and there can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock described in this prospectus or any accompanying prospectus supplement. The selling stockholders may act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each of its sales.
In addition to the methods described above, the selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of their respective shares of common stock:
● | any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, including the Nasdaq Capital Market, on which the common stock is currently listed; |
● | the over-the-counter market; |

● | transfer its common stock in other ways not involving market maker or established trading markets, including directly by gift, distribution, or other transfer; |
● | sell its common stock under Rule 144 or Rule 145 of the Securities Act rather than under this prospectus, if the transaction meets the requirements of Rule 144 or Rule 145; or |
