**PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS, SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED AUGUST 29, 2025**![](image_001.jpg)

**LIVEONE, INC.**

**6,000,000 Shares of Common Stock**

**Warrants to Purchase up to 3,000,000 Shares of Common Stock** 

This prospectus relates to the offer and resale from time to time of (i) 3,000,000 shares (the "Shares") of LiveOne, Inc.'s, a Delaware corporation (the "Company," "we," "us" or "our"), common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "common stock"), (ii) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of common stock, exercisable at a price of $0.01 per share (subject to adjustment as provided therein) (the "Warrants"), and (iii) up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants (the "Warrant Shares" and together with the Shares and the Warrants, the "Securities"), by the selling stockholders identified in this prospectus (together with any of such stockholders' transferees, pledgees, donees or successors) (the "Selling Stockholders"). The Shares and the Warrants were issued to the Selling Stockholders in a private placement pursuant to the Letter Agreements entered into by the Company with each of the Selling Stockholders on July 15, 2025.

The Selling Stockholders may sell all or a portion of the Securities from time to time, in amounts, at prices and on terms determined at the time of sale. The Securities may be sold by any means described in the section of this prospectus entitled "Plan of Distribution" beginning on page 24. The Selling Stockholders may also sell the Shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the Securities by the Selling Stockholders. However, we will receive proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants if the Warrants are exercised and the holders of such Warrants pay the exercise price in cash upon such exercise and do not utilize the cashless exercise provision of the Warrants. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the Securities covered by this prospectus. All selling and other expenses incurred by the Selling Stockholders will be borne by the Selling Stockholders.

We are registering the offer and sale of the Securities pursuant to certain registration rights granted to the Selling Stockholders. The registration of the Securities does not necessarily mean that any Selling Stockholder will offer or sell any of their Securities or exercise their Warrants. The timing and amount of any sale or exercise is within the sole discretion of the Selling Stockholders. We are not offering for sale any shares of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus.

Our common stock is listed for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market, or "Nasdaq," under the symbol "LVO." On August 22, 2025, the last reported sale price of our common stock was $0.6008.

**Investing in our securities involves significant risks. We strongly recommend that you read carefully the risks we describe in this prospectus and in any accompanying prospectus supplement, as well as the risk factors that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus from our filings made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. See "Risk Factors" on page 8 of this prospectus.**

**CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

***Risks Related to Our Business and Industry***

● We rely on our largest OEM customer for a substantial percentage of our revenue. The loss of our largest OEM customer or the significant reduction of business or growth of business from such customer could significantly adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

● We rely on our relationship with our largest OEM customer for a substantial percentage of our potential subscribers who are now eligible to convert to become direct customers of LiveOne. Our inability to convert a significant number of these subscribers could cause a significant reduction of our business and could significantly adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

● We have incurred significant operating and net losses since our inception and anticipate that we will continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future.

● We may require additional capital, including to fund our current debt obligations and to fund potential acquisitions and capital expenditures, which may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all and which depends on many factors beyond our control.

● Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq could result in a de-listing of our common stock and penny stock trading, and we may need to seek to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock to avoid delisting.

● There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

● Our business is partially dependent on our ability to secure music streaming rights from Content Providers and to stream their live music and music-related video content on our platform, and we may not be able to secure such content on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

● We may be unable to fund any significant up-front and/or guaranteed payment cash requirements associated with our live music streaming rights, which could result in the inability to secure and retain such streaming rights and may limit our operating flexibility, which may adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

● Advancements in AI technology may adversely affect our business model and competitive position.

iii

***Risks Related to Our Company***

● For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting were not effective. If we are unable to establish and maintain effective disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis or prevent fraud could be impaired, and the market price of our securities may be negatively affected.

● We heavily depend on relationships with our Content Providers and other Industry Stakeholders and adverse changes in these relationships, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

● We rely on key members of management, particularly our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Robert Ellin, and our Chief Financial Officer, Ryan Carhart, and the loss of their services or investor confidence in them could adversely affect our success, development and financial condition.

● Unfavorable outcomes in legal proceedings may adversely affect our business, financial conditions and results of operations.

● Our debt agreements contain restrictive and financial covenants that may limit our operating flexibility and our substantial indebtedness may limit cash flow available to invest in the ongoing needs of our business.

● We may not have the ability to repay the amounts then due under our senior Debentures and/or Capchase Loan (each as defined below) at maturity, required redemption payments and/or to the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

● If we do not comply with the provisions of our senior Debentures, the holders of the Debentures may accelerate our obligations to them and require us to repay all outstanding amounts owed thereunder.

● Our ability to satisfy the conditions to issue the Additional Debentures (as defined above).

● We may incur substantially more debt or take other actions that would intensify the risks related to our indebtedness.

***Risks Related to Our Acquisition Strategy***

● We can give no assurances as to when we will consummate any future acquisitions or whether we will consummate any of them at all.

***Risks Related to Technology and Intellectual Property***

● We rely heavily on technology to stream content and manage other aspects of our operations and on our Content Management System. The failure of any of this technology to operate effectively could adversely affect our business.

***Risks Related to Our PodcastOne Business***

● PodcastOne generates a substantial portion of its revenues from its podcast and advertising sales. If PodcastOne fails to maintain or grow podcasting and advertising and e-commerce merchandise revenue, our financial results may be adversely affected.

● PodcastOne faces and will continue to face competition for listeners and listener listening time.

● PodcastOne's business is dependent upon the performance of the podcasts and their talent.

● If PodcastOne fails to increase the number of listeners consuming its podcast content, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

● PodcastOne's podcasting revenue and operating results are highly dependent on the overall demand for advertising.

● PodcastOne relies on integrations with advertising platforms, demand-side platforms ("DSPs"), proprietary platforms and ad servers, over which we exercise very little control.

iv

● You may lose all of your investment.

● Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market by certain of our stockholders could cause our stock price to fall.

● There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

● Dilution from further financings.

 ****

***Risks Related to the Ownership of Our Common Stock***

● The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile.

● We cannot guarantee that our stock repurchase program will be consummated, fully or all, or that it will enhance long-term shareholder value. Stock repurchases could also increase the volatility of the trading price of our stock and could diminish our cash reserves.

● Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and stockholders affiliated with him own a significant percentage of our stock and will be able to exert significant control over matters subject to stockholder approval.

● Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market by certain of our stockholders could cause our stock price to fall.

● We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock so any returns will be limited to the value of our stock.

● Provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation (as amended, the "Certificate of Incorporation") and Bylaws (as amended, the "Bylaws") and provisions under Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us or increase the cost of acquiring us, even if doing so would benefit our stockholders, and may prevent or frustrate attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.

v

***Risks Related to Our Cryptocurrency Assets Treasury Strategy and Holdings***

● Our Crypto Assets Treasury Strategy (as defined below) exposes us to various risks associated with cryptocurrencies.

● The broader digital assets industry is subject to counterparty risks, which could adversely impact the adoption rate, price, and use of cryptocurrencies.

● We may use our cash and cash equivalents to purchase cryptocurrencies, the price of which has been, and will likely continue to be, highly volatile.

● Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and other digital assets are novel assets, and are subject to significant legal, commercial, regulatory and technical uncertainty.

● Our historical financial statements do not reflect the potential variability in earnings that we may experience in the future relating to our bitcoin holdings.

● We face risks relating to the custody of our bitcoin and other forms of Crypto (as defined below), including the loss or destruction of private keys required to access our Crypto and cyberattacks or other data loss relating to our Crypto holdings.

● Regulatory change reclassifying bitcoin or other forms of cryptocurrencies as a security could lead to our classification as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and could adversely affect the market price of bitcoin or other forms of cryptocurrencies and the market price of our common stock.

● We may be subject to regulatory developments related to cryptocurrency assets and cryptocurrency markets, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

● Our cryptocurrency assets treasury strategy exposes us to risk of non-performance by counterparties.

● Holders of our Debentures and Capchase, our lender, may foreclose on any crypto asset pursuant to certain restrictive covenants in the applicable debt agreements.

We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in this prospectus, particularly in the "Risk Factors" section, as well as the risk factors incorporated by reference in this prospectus, discussed under "Item 1A-Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, and under similar headings in our subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K, that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. Therefore, you should not rely on the occurrence of events described in any of these forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make.

You should read this prospectus and the documents that we have filed as exhibits to this prospectus completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We qualify all of the information presented in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and any document incorporated herein by reference, and particularly our forward-looking statements, by these cautionary statements.

This prospectus includes statistical and other industry and market data that we obtained from industry publications and research, surveys and studies conducted by third parties. Industry publications and third-party research, surveys and studies generally indicate that their information has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, although they do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information.

**PROSPECTUS SUMMARY**

*This summary highlights certain information about us, this offering and information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus and in the documents we incorporate by reference. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our securities. To fully understand this offering and its consequences to you, you should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the information referred to under the heading "Risk Factors" in this prospectus beginning on page 8, the financial statements and other information incorporated by reference in this prospectus when making an investment decision. This is only a summary and may not contain all the information that is important to you. You should carefully read this prospectus, including the information incorporated by reference therein, and any other offering materials, together with the additional information described under the heading "Where You Can Find More Information."*

**Overview**

We generate revenue through the sale of membership-based services and advertising from our music offerings, from the licensing, advertising and sponsorship of our live music and podcast content rights and services, from our expanding pay-per-view offerings and from retail sales of merchandise and gifts.

**Operations**

Historically, we acquired the rights to stream our live and recorded music and broadcasts from a combination of festival owners and promoters, such as Anschutz Entertainment Group ("AEG") and Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. ("Live Nation"), music labels, including Universal Music, Warner Music and Sony Music, and through individual music publishers and rights holders. Beginning mid-March 2020, the pandemic associated with COVID-19 temporarily shut down the production of all on-ground, live music festivals and events. As a result, we pivoted our production to 100% streaming, and began producing, curating, and broadcasting streaming music festivals, concerts and events across our platform. In May 2020, we launched our first pay-per-view ("PPV") performances across our platform, allowing artists and fans to access a new digital compliment to live festivals, concerts and events.

The majority of our content acquisition agreements provide us the exclusive rights to produce, license, broadcast and distribute live broadcast streams of these festivals and events throughout the world and across any digital platform, including cable, Internet, video, audio, video-on-demand ("VOD") and virtual reality ("VR"). We are working to expand our VOD, PPV, content catalog and content capabilities. Since 2018, we launched LiveZone, a traveling studio originating from live music events and festivals all over the world. LiveZone combines music news, commentary, festival updates and artist interviews, and provide context to premiere events by showcasing exotic locales, unique venues, and artist backstories, adding "pre-show" and "post-show" segments to livestreamed artist performances and original festival-based content. During fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we launched our own franchises including "Music Lives," our multi-artist virtual festival, "Music Lives ON," our series of virtual live-streaming performances, "Self Made" our music competition platform, "The Lockdown Awards", our award show celebrating the best in quarantine content, "The Snubbys", our award show celebrating deserving artists who should have been but were not nominated for applicable awards, "The Breakout Awards," our award show celebrating some of the year's most iconic music, celebrities and pop culture moments and "One Rising" an emerging artist program that breaks up and coming talent across the music landscape

In July 2020, we entered the podcasting business with the acquisition of PodcastOne and in December 2020, we entered the merchandising business with the acquisition of CPS. On February 28, 2023, we acquired a majority interest in Splitmind LLC and Drumify LLC. On September 8, 2023, PodcastOne completed a Qualified Event (as defined below) (its spin out from the Company to become a standalone publicly trading company) as a result of its direct listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market on such date (the "Direct Listing"). Through the operations of our DayOne Music Publishing, Drumify and Splitmind subsidiaries, we operate our music publishing and artist and brand development businesses.

On October 1, 2024, we announced an amended relationship with our largest OEM customer. Effective December 1, 2024, the OEM customer no longer subsidizes our products to some of its customers, however, we offer all OEM customer vehicles in North America the opportunity to convert to become direct subscribers of our LiveOne music app. The direct subscription to our LiveOne app allows such users for the first time to access their LiveOne music and LiveOne's other service offerings directly across all of their devices. Our LiveOne music streaming button/icon, which allows users to directly connect their subscription to LiveOne, is expected to remain in the OEM customer's music streaming services dashboard in perpetuity. The OEM customer will continue to pay us monthly for grandfathered vehicles for the term of the OEM license agreement.

 

*Digital Internet Radio and Music Services*

Our digital Internet radio and music services are available to users online and through automotive and mobile original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") on a white label basis, which allow certain OEMs to customize the radio and music services with their own logos, branding and systems. Our users are able to listen to a variety of music, radio personalities, news, sports, comedy and the audio of live music events. Our revenue structure for our digital Internet radio and music services varies and may be in the form of (i) a free service to the listener supported by paid advertising, (ii) paid premium membership services, and/or (iii) a fixed fee per user. The fees generated from ad-supported and membership services are generally subject to revenue sharing arrangements with music right holders and labels, and fees to festivals, clubs, events, concerts, artists, promoters, venues, music labels and publishers ("Content Providers").

 

*Podcast Services*

Our podcasts are available to users online alongside our digital Internet radio. Our users are able to listen to a variety of podcasts, from music, radio personalities, news, entertainment, comedy and sports. PodcastOne has built a distribution network reaching over 1 billion listeners a month across all of its own properties, LiveOne platforms, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, Samsung and over 150 shows exclusively available in Tesla vehicles. Similar to our digital Internet radio fee structure, we monetize podcasts through (i) paid advertising or (ii) paid premium membership services. We own one of the largest networks of podcast content in North America, which has over 300 exclusive podcast shows that produces over 300 episodes per week and has generated over 3.6 billion downloads during the year ended March 31, 2025.

PodcastOne and its roster of top performing hosts are also able to integrate unique visual elements into the podcasts they produce and distribute them via YouTube, with PodcastOne becoming the first podcast network to utilize Adori, a pioneering interface technology. Adori's unique YouTube integration technology allows podcast hosts and networks to seamlessly import episodes from RSS feeds, enhance them with visual elements and upload enriched assets directly to YouTube. Adori's patented technology embeds contextual visuals, multi-format ads, augmented reality ("AR") experiences, buy buttons, polls, and other "call to action" features in the audio creating a more enhanced and richer listener experience. In creating visually enhanced podcasts, Adori's YouTube product provides additional monetization avenues for PodcastOne's slate of original programming, increased discoverability and search engine optimization presence

In addition to PodcastOne's core business, it also built, owns and operates a solution for the growing number of independent podcasters, LaunchpadOne. LaunchpadOne is a self-publishing podcast platform, created to provide a low or no cost tool for independent podcasters without access to parent podcasting networks or state of the art equipment to create shows. LaunchpadOne serves as a talent pool for us to find new podcasts and talent.

In June 2023, we launched PodcastOne TV, a free ad-supported streaming television ("FAST") channel that will stream the video content from PodcastOne's slate of award-winning podcasts, to be distributed through MuxIP to 60 outlets, using MuxIP's FASTHub for OTT platform. MuxIP will enable PodcastOne to expand its content to viewers of niche content on Smart TVs and a wide range of devices. MuxIP is a global leader in powering the rapidly growing TV business model centered on FAST.

On September 8, 2023, PodcastOne completed its spin out from our Company to become a standalone publicly traded company (the "Spin-Out") as a result of PodcastOne's direct listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market on such date.

*Merchandise*

*Live Music Events*

We produce, edit, curate and stream live music events through (i) broadband transmission over the Internet and/or satellite networks to our users throughout the world, where permitted ("Digital Live Events") both advertisers supported and PPV events, and (ii) physical ticket sales of on-location music events and festivals at a variety of indoor clubs and outdoor venues and arenas ("On-premise Live Events"). These services allow our users to access live music content in person and over the Internet, including the ability to chat and communicate over our platform. LiveOne provides Digital Live Events for free to our users; however, beginning in May 2020 we launched PPV capabilities and began charging our users to view certain Digital Live Events. We monetize these live events through third party advertising and sponsorship, including with brands such as Volkswagen, Hyundai, Facebook, Tik Tok, Porsche, and Pepsi, and selling territorial licensing rights to Tencent in China and Ocesa in Mexico. Our cost structure varies by music event, and may include set upfront fees/artist guarantees, the amount of which is often dependent on specific artist. A festival's existing production infrastructure or lack thereof, and, in turn results in, us having a production/financial commitment to the live stream, and in some cases, we may also share the associated revenue. The fees generated from any advertising, sponsored content, VOD/PPV and other services are generally subject to the aforementioned revenue sharing arrangements with certain artists, festival owners and/or music right holders, when applicable.

**Recent Developments**

 

*Debentures Financing*

On May 19, 2025, we, and PodcastOne entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with the Selling Stockholders pursuant to which (i) we sold to the Selling Stockholders our Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debentures, as amended on August 5, 2025 (the "Debentures") in an aggregate principal amount of $16,775,000 for an aggregate cash purchase price of $15.25 million, and (ii) if certain conditions are satisfied as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including at least one of the Conditions (as defined below), we may sell, at our option to the Selling Stockholders our additional Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debentures in an aggregate principal amount of $11,000,000 on substantially the same terms as the Debentures, in a private placement transaction. The Debentures are convertible into shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "common stock"), at the holder's option at a conversion price of $2.10 per share, subject to certain customary adjustments such as stock splits, stock dividends and stock combinations. We may sell to the Selling Stockholders the Additional Debentures (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) if within 15 months of the May 19, 2025 date either of the following conditions have been satisfied during such 15-month period (the "Conditions"): (x) the VWAP (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) of the common stock has been equal to or greater than $4.20 per share (subject to certain customary adjustments such as stock splits, stock dividends and stock combinations) for 30 consecutive trading days, or (y) Free Cash Flow (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) has been equal to or greater to $3,000,000 for three consecutive fiscal quarters, and has increased in each of the foregoing quarters from the immediately preceding fiscal quarter.

The Debentures mature on May 19, 2028 and accrue interest at 11.75% per year. Commencing with the calendar month of August 2025 (subject to the following sentence), the holders of the Debentures will have the right, at their option, to require us to redeem an aggregate of up to $100,000 of the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures per month. For the month of August 2025, the holders may not submit a redemption notice for such a redemption prior to August 18, 2025. Commencing from November 18, 2025, May 18, 2026 and May 18, 2027, the holders of the Debentures will have the right, at their option, to require us to redeem an aggregate of up to $150,000, $250,000 and $300,000, respectively, of the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures per month. We will be required to promptly, but in any event no more than two trading days after a holder of the Debentures delivers a redemption notice to us, pay the applicable redemption amount in cash.

Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including applicable prior notice to the holders of the Debentures, at any time after May 19, 2026, we may elect to prepay all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding Debentures for a prepayment amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of then outstanding Debentures plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, together with a prepayment premium equal to the following (the "Prepayment Premium"): (a) if the Debentures are prepaid after May 19, 2026, but on or prior to May 19, 2027, 5% of the entire outstanding principal balance of the outstanding Debentures (or the applicable portion thereof required to be prepaid by us); and (c) if the Debentures are prepaid on or after May 19, 2027, but prior to the maturity date of the Debentures, 4% of the entire outstanding principal balance of then outstanding Debentures (or the applicable portion thereof required to be prepaid by us). Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, we shall be required to prepay the entire outstanding principal amount of all of then outstanding Debentures in connection with a Change of Control Transaction (as defined in the Debentures) for a prepayment amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of then outstanding Debentures, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, plus the applicable Prepayment Premium based on when such Change of Control Transaction occurs within the period set forth above applicable to such Prepayment Premium; provided, that (x) if a Change of Control Transaction occurs on or prior to May 19, 2026, plus 10% of the entire outstanding principal balance of then outstanding Debentures; (y) if the Specified Carve-Out Transaction (as defined in the Debentures) is consummated, we shall be required to prepay the Debentures, in an aggregate amount equal to the lower of the outstanding principal balance of then outstanding Debentures and $7,500,000, in each case, plus the applicable Prepayment Premium, and (z) if a Permitted Disposition (as defined in the Debentures) pursuant to clause (g) of the definition thereof is consummated, we shall be required to prepay the Debentures in an aggregate amount equal to the lower of the outstanding principal balance of then outstanding Debentures and 50% of the first $1,000,000 of net proceeds resulting from such Permitted Disposition up to $1,000,000 and 25% of such net proceeds in excess of $1,000,000, in each case, plus the applicable Prepayment Premium.

Our obligations under the Debentures can be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain customary events of default. In the event of default and acceleration of our obligations, we would be required to pay the applicable prepayment amount described above.

Our obligations under the Debentures have been guaranteed under a Subsidiary Guarantee, dated as of the Closing Date (the "Subsidiary Guarantee"), by certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries, including PodcastOne, Slacker, Inc. and LiveXLive, Corp. (collectively, the "Guarantors"). Our obligations under the Debentures and the Guarantors' obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee are secured under a Security Agreement (the "Security Agreement") entered into on May 19, 2025 among our Company, the Guarantors, certain Purchasers and JGB Collateral, LLC (the "Agent") as agent for the Purchasers (the "Security Agreement"), by a lien on all of our and the Guarantors' assets, subject to certain exceptions.

 

 

 

 

*Series A Preferred Stock Exchange*

Please see section below captioned "Background of the Offering".

The Offering, including the Option, closed on July 17, 2025.

*Bitcoin Treasury Yield Strategy*

 

We have engaged Arca Investment Management, LLC ("Arca"), a Delaware-registered investment adviser, to provide discretionary investment management services for our digital asset treasury account(s) pursuant to an investment management agreement. Under this arrangement, Arca manages our account in accordance with agreed investment guidelines, which currently involve a derivatives overlay strategy on a long bitcoin position, seeking to generate in-kind returns through the sale of call options and other structured option strategies (the "Bitcoin Treasury Yield Strategy"). Arca has full investment discretion within the investment guidelines but does not act as custodian of our assets. Our digital assets are held by Anchorage Digital ("Anchorage Digital"), a qualified custodian federally regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"), which executes transactions as instructed by Arca and provides account statements directly to us. Chartered by the OCC, Anchorage Digital follows Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC") guidelines. We pay Arca a management fee and a performance fee as set forth in our investment management agreement with Arca, and these fees are paid directly from our account with the custodian. For more information regarding our Bitcoin Treasury Yield Strategy, please see our Registration Statement on Form S-3, Amendment No. 1, filed with the SEC on August 26, 2025.

*Cryptocurrency Assets Treasury Strategy*

**WE ARE NOT REGISTERED AS AN INVESTMENT COMPANY UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED, AND OUR STOCKHOLDERS DO NOT HAVE THE PROTECTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH OWNERSHIP OF SHARES IN A REGISTERED INVESTMENT COMPANY NOR THE PROTECTIONS AFFORDED BY THE COMMODITIES EXCHANGE ACT.**

In July 2025, we adopted our cryptocurrency treasury reserve strategy (the "Crypto Assets Treasury Strategy") and subsequently selected bitcoin as our intended initial treasury reserve asset on an ongoing basis, subject to market conditions, applicable lender consents and our anticipated cash needs, but we may expand our treasury reserve assets to include other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, Solana and/or others (collectively, "Crypto"). We plan to acquire and hold Crypto using cash flows from operations that exceed working capital requirements, and from time to time, subject to market conditions, issuing equity or debt securities or engaging in other capital raising transactions with the objective of using the proceeds to purchase Crypto. We view our Crypto holdings as long term holdings and expect to continue to accumulate Crypto. We have not set any specific target for the amount of Crypto we seek to hold, and we will continue to monitor market conditions in determining whether to engage in additional Crypto purchases. As of July 2025, our board of directors has authorized our Company to acquire up to $500,000,000 of cryptocurrencies as part of the development and implementation of our Crypto Assets Treasury Strategy and/or Bitcoin Treasury Yield Strategy. This overall strategy also contemplates that we may periodically sell Crypto for general corporate purposes or in connection with strategies that generate tax benefits in accordance with applicable law, enter into additional capital raising transactions, including those that could be collateralized by our Crypto holdings, and consider pursuing strategies to create income streams or otherwise generate funds using our Crypto holdings. For more information regarding our Cryptocurrency Assets Treasury Strategy, please see our Registration Statement on Form S-3, Amendment No. 1, filed with the SEC on August 26, 2025.

**Background of the Offering**

On July 15, 2025 (the "Effective Date"), we entered into letter agreements (collectively, the "Agreements") with (i) Harvest Small Cap Partners Master, Ltd. ("HSCPM"), (ii) Harvest Small Cap Partners, L.P. ("HSCP" and together with HSCPM, the "Harvest Funds" or the "Selling Stockholders"), and (iii) Trinad Capital Master Fund Ltd., a fund controlled by Mr. Ellin, our Chief Executive Officer, Chairman, director and principal stockholder ("Trinad Capital" and collectively with the Harvest Funds, the "Holders"), the holders of our Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), with a stated value of $1,000 per share. Pursuant to the Agreements (i) the Harvest Funds exchanged $4,500,000 worth of its shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 3,000,000 shares of common stock, at a price of $1.50 per share (the "Shares"), and Trinad Capital exchanged $2,250,000 worth of shares of its Series A Preferred Stock into 1,500,000 shares of common stock at the same price, and (ii) the Selling Stockholders and Trinad Capital received 3,000,000 (the "Warrants") and 1,500,000 three-year warrants respectively, to purchase common stock exercisable at a price of $0.01 per share.

The Shares and the Warrants were issued, and the shares of the Company's common stock underlying the Warrants (the "Warrant Shares"), to the extent exercised, will be issued, to the Selling Stockholders as restricted securities in a private placement transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are collectively referred to herein as the "Securities".

We agreed, on or prior to the date that is 45 days after the Effective Date, to prepare and file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or such other form as applicable) covering the resale under the Securities Act of the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares. We agreed to use our commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective promptly thereafter on or before 45 days after the filing of such registration statement (or if the SEC issues any comments with respect to such registration statement, on or before 90 days after the filing of such registration statement). Upon effectiveness of such Registration Statement, we agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective with the SEC for a period equal to three years from the Effective Date for the Warrants, and with respect to the Shares and the Warrant Shares, so long as any Warrants or Shares are outstanding or held by Holder, as applicable, and to supplement, amend and/or re-file such Registration Statement to comply with such effectiveness requirement.

Accordingly, we are registering for resale the sale and offer of the Securities to comply with such obligations to the Selling Stockholders.

**THE OFFERING**

We are registering for resale by the Selling Stockholders: (i) 3,000,000 shares of our common stock, (ii) Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock, and (iii) up to 3,000,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants (referred to in this prospectus as the Warrant Shares) as described below.

**RISK FACTORS**

*Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before you make a decision to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully the risks described below, together with other information in this prospectus and the information incorporated by reference herein, including any risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on July 15, 2025, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the SEC on August 14, 2025, and in our other reports filed with the SEC and in future reports that we will file periodically or any amendments or updates thereto. If any of the following events actually occur, our business, operating results, prospects or financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline and you may lose part or all of your investment. The risks described below are not the only ones that we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also significantly impair our business operations and could result in a complete loss of your investment.*

**Risks Related to this Offering**

***We have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from the exercise of any Warrants for cash and may use them in ways with which you do not agree and in ways that may not enhance our operating results or the price of our common stock.***

Our board of directors and management will have broad discretion over the application of the net proceeds that we receive from any exercise of the Warrants for cash. We may spend or invest these proceeds in ways with which our stockholders disagree or that do not yield a favorable return, if at all. We intend to use the net proceeds from any exercise of the Warrants for cash, together with our existing cash resources as described in "Use of Proceeds." However, our use of these proceeds may differ substantially from our current plans. Failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and/or prospects. Pending use, we may invest the net proceeds from the offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.

 **

***You may lose all of your investment.***

 **

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. As an investor, you might never recoup all, or even part of, your investment and you may never realize any return on your investment. You must be prepared to lose all your investment.

***Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market by certain of our stockholders could cause our stock price to fall.***

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales may have on the prevailing market price of our common stock.

 **

***There is no public market for the Warrants.***

 **

The Warrants are not listed on an exchange. A liquid trading market for the Warrants may never develop, or if developed, it may not be sustained. In the absence of a liquid public trading market for the Warrants:

 ****

● you may not be able to liquidate your investment in the Warrants;

● you may not be able to resell the Warrants at favorable prices, or at all;

● the market price of the Warrants may experience significant price volatility; and

● there may be less efficiency in carrying out your purchase and sale orders.

***Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq could result in a de-listing of our common stock and penny stock trading, and we may need to seek to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock to avoid delisting.***

If our common stock is ultimately delisted from Nasdaq, our common stock would likely then trade only in the over-the-counter market and the market liquidity of our common stock could be adversely affected and their market price could decrease. If our common stock were to trade on the over-the-counter market, selling our common stock could be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and we could face significant material adverse consequences, including: a limited availability of market quotations for our securities; reduced liquidity with respect to our securities; a determination that our shares are a "penny stock," which will require brokers trading in our securities to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities; a reduced amount of news and analyst coverage for our Company; and a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. These factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for our common stock and would substantially impair our ability to raise additional funds and could result in a loss of institutional investor interest and fewer development opportunities for us.

In addition to the foregoing, if our common stock is ultimately delisted from Nasdaq and they trade on the over-the-counter market, the application of the "penny stock" rules could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and increase the transaction costs to sell those shares. The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a "penny stock" as an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. If our common stock is ultimately delisted from Nasdaq and then trade on the over-the-counter market at a price of less than $5.00 per share, our common stock would be considered a penny stock. The SEC's penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and the salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that before a transaction in a penny stock occurs, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's agreement to the transaction. If applicable in the future, these rules may restrict the ability of brokers-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell their shares, until our common stock no longer is considered a penny stock.

 ****

 ****

***There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.***

Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an opinion on our audited financial statements incorporated by reference in this prospectus that contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern because we have experienced recurring losses, negative cash flows from operations, and limited capital resources. These events and conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern. The perception that we may not be able to continue as a going concern may have a material adverse effect on our share price and our ability to raise new capital (whether it is through the issuance of equity or debt securities or otherwise), enter into critical contractual relations with third parties and otherwise execute our business objectives. Until we can generate significant profit from operations and positive cash flow from operations, we expect to satisfy our future cash needs through debt and/or equity financing. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to curtail some or all of our ongoing operations and/or liquidate some or all of our assets, and the values we receive for our assets in liquidation or dissolution could be significantly lower than the values reflected in our financial statements.

 ****

***Dilution from further financings.***

Future sales and issuances of our common stock, common stock equivalents and/or rights to purchase common stock, including pursuant to our equity incentive plans or our at-the-market sales agreement with Roth Capital Partners, LLC, could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholders and could cause our stock price to fall. Additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders 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. These sales may also result in material dilution to our existing stockholders, and new investors could gain rights superior to our existing stockholders.

**Risks Related to our Common Stock** 

***A substantial number of shares of our common stock may be issued pursuant to the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock and/or Debentures. Conversion of our Series A Preferred Stock and/or Debentures will dilute the ownership interest of our existing stockholders or may otherwise depress the price of our common stock.***

As of August 22, 2025, the shares of our Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into approximately 3.76 million shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $2.10 per share, and our outstanding Debentures are convertible into approximately 7.99 million shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $2.10 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock and/or Debentures likely will be converted only at times when it is economically beneficial for the holders to do so. The conversion of some or all of the shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and/or Debentures into shares of our common stock will dilute the ownership interests of our existing stockholders. In addition, any sales in the public market of the shares of our common stock issuable upon such conversion and/or any anticipated conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and/or Debentures into shares of our common stock could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock.

***Future sales and issuances of our common stock or rights to purchase common stock, including pursuant to our equity incentive plan and any acquisition or financing agreement, could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholders and could cause our stock price to fall.***

We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity and/or convertible securities, our stockholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell or otherwise issue our 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 or issue our common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities in more than one transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent issuances. These issuances may also result in material dilution to our existing stockholders, and new investors could gain rights superior to our existing stockholders. We may pay for future acquisitions with additional issuances of shares of our common stock as well, which would result in further dilution for existing stockholders.

Pursuant to our 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the "2016 Plan"), there are 17,600,000 shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance to our employees, directors and consultants. If our board of directors elects to issue additional shares of our common stock, stock options, restricted stock units and/or other equity-based awards under the 2016 Plan, as amended, our stockholders may experience additional dilution, which could cause our stock price to fall.

***The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile.***

The trading price of our common stock may be volatile. Our stock price could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors, including the following:

● actual or anticipated fluctuations in our revenue and other operating results;

● actions of securities analysts who initiate or maintain coverage of us, changes in financial estimates by any securities analysts who follow our company, or our failure to meet these estimates or the expectations of investors;

● issuance of our equity or debt securities, or disclosure or announcements relating thereto;

● the lack of a meaningful, consistent and liquid trading market for our common stock;

● additional shares of our common stock being sold into the market by us or our stockholders or the anticipation of such sales;

● our convertible debt securities being converted into equity or the anticipation of such conversion;

● announcements by us or our competitors of significant events or features, technical innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

● changes in operating performance and stock market valuations of companies in our industry;

● price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market, including as a result of trends in the economy as a whole;

● expiration of the lock-up period, as more fully discussed below;

● lawsuits threatened or filed against us;

● regulatory developments in the United States and foreign countries; and

● other events or factors, including those resulting from the impact of war or incidents of terrorism, other epidemics, or responses to these events.

In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market and industry factors may negatively affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

***We cannot guarantee that our stock repurchase program will be consummated fully or that it will enhance long-term shareholder value. Stock repurchases could also increase the volatility of the trading price of our stock and could diminish our cash reserves.***

We have announced that our senior management and/or board of directors has authorized the repurchase up to approximately $12 million worth of shares of our outstanding common stock from time to time, subject to any applicable approvals and consents, which LiveOne fully expects to obtain. The timing, price, and quantity of purchases under the program will be at the discretion of our management and will depend upon a variety of factors including share price, general and business market conditions, compliance with applicable laws and regulations, corporate and regulatory requirements, and alternative uses of capital. The program may be expanded, suspended, or discontinued by our board of directors at any time. Although our board of directors has authorized this stock repurchase program, there is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares, if any, that will be repurchased by us, and we may discontinue purchases at any time that management determines additional purchases are not warranted. We cannot guarantee that the program will be consummated, fully or all, or that it will enhance long-term stockholder value. The program could affect the trading price of our common stock and increase volatility, and any announcement of a termination of this program may result in a decrease in the trading price of our common stock. In addition, this program could diminish our cash reserves.

***Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and stockholders affiliated with him own a significant percentage of our stock and will be able to exert significant control over matters subject to stockholder approval.***

 ****

Mr. Ellin, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, and his affiliates beneficially owned approximately 19.2% of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of August 22, 2025 (not including Mr. Ellin's options which have an exercise price substantially above the market price of our common stock as of the date of this Annual Report). Therefore, Mr. Ellin and stockholders affiliated with him may have the ability to influence us through their ownership positions. Mr. Ellin and these stockholders may be able to determine or significantly influence all matters requiring stockholder approval. For example, Mr. Ellin and these stockholders, acting together, may be able to control or significantly influence elections of directors, amendments of our organizational documents, or approval of any merger, sale of assets, or other major corporate transaction. This may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or offers for our common stock that you may believe are in your best interest as one of our stockholders.

***FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.***

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), has adopted rules requiring that, in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative or low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA has indicated its belief that there is a high probability that speculative or low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. If these FINRA requirements are applicable to us or our securities, they may make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that at least some of their customers buy our common stock, which may limit the ability of our stockholders to buy and sell our common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market for and price of our common stock.

***If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our share price and trading volume could decline.***

The trading market for our shares of common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us. Securities and industry analysts currently provide publish limited research focused on our Company. If the current securities or industry analysts do not provide extensive coverage or commence coverage of our Company, the price and trading volume of our shares of common stock could be negatively impacted. If other securities or industry analysts initiate coverage and one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our shares of common stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our Company, the price of our shares of common stock would likely decline. Furthermore, if one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our Company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our shares of common stock could decrease, which might cause the price of our shares of common stock and trading volume to decline.

***As a smaller reporting company, we are subject to scaled disclosure requirements that may make it more challenging for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects***

Because the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates was less than $250 million as of the last business day of our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024, we continue to be a "smaller reporting company" as defined by the SEC's revised rules. As a "smaller reporting company," we (i) are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in our filings, (ii) are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, and (iii) have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in our filings with the SEC, including being required to provide only two years of audited financial statements in our annual reports. Consequently, it may be more challenging for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects. We will remain a smaller reporting company if we have either (i) a public float of less than $250 million held by non-affiliates as of the last business day of the second quarter of our then current fiscal year or (ii) annual revenues of less than $100 million during such recently completed fiscal year with less than $700 million in public float as of the last business day of the second quarter of such fiscal year.

***If securities or industry analysts publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price could decline.***

The trading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our common stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our common stock price would likely decline.

***Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.***

Section 382 and 383 ("Section 382 and 383") of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), contains rules that limit the ability of a company that undergoes an ownership change to utilize its net operating losses ("NOLs") and tax credits existing as of the date of such ownership change. Under the rules, such an ownership change is generally any change in ownership of more than 50% of a company's stock within a rolling three-year period. The rules generally operate by focusing on changes in ownership among stockholders considered by the rules as owning, directly or indirectly, 5% or more of the stock of a company and any change in ownership arising from new issuances of stock by the company. As a result of these Section 382 and 383 limitations, any ownership changes as defined by Section 382 and 383 may limit the amount of NOL carryforwards that could be utilized annually to offset future taxable income.

***We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock so any returns will be limited to the value of our stock.***

We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our common stock. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Additionally, any credit and security agreement that we may enter into in the future will likely contain covenants that will restrict our ability to pay dividends. Any return to stockholders will therefore be limited to the appreciation of their stock.

***The restrictive covenants contained in the Debentures could adversely affect our business plan, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.***

 ****

The Debentures contain restrictive covenants, including maintenance of minimum free cash covenant. These covenants could have important consequences on our business. In particular, they could:

● limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our businesses and the industries in which we operate;

● increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

● require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to maintain on deposit in one or more accounts of our bank accounts an aggregate required amount equal to the Cash Minimum (as defined in the Debentures), unless otherwise permitted by the written consent of the holders of the Debentures; and

● potentially place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have lower fixed costs.

In addition, we are required to redeem the Debentures monthly in cash and may not do so in shares of our common stock. The debt service requirements of our other outstanding indebtedness, as well as any other indebtedness or preferred stock we incur or issue in the future, and the restrictive covenants contained in the governing documents for such indebtedness or preferred stock, could intensify these risks. As a result of us being required to redeem the Debentures in cash, we may seek to refinance the remaining balance, by either refinancing with the holders of the Debentures, by raising sufficient funds through a sale of equity or debt securities or by obtaining a credit facility. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in making the required payments under the Debentures, or in refinancing our obligations on favorable terms, or at all. Should we determine to refinance, it could be dilutive to stockholders.

***Provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and provisions under Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us or increase the cost of acquiring us, even if doing so would benefit our stockholders, and may prevent or frustrate attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.***

Some provisions of our charter documents may have anti-takeover effects that could discourage an acquisition of us by others, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders, and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management. These provisions include: authorizing the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock, the terms of which may be established and shares of which may be issued without stockholder approval; and establishing advance notice requirements for nominations for election to the board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon at stockholder meetings.

These provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors, which is responsible for appointing the members of our management.

In addition, we are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("Section 203") regulating corporate takeovers. In general, Section 203 prohibits publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder (generally, any entity, person or group beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the company) for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless:

● prior to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

● upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder, (1) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (2) shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

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

This provision could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control, whether or not it is desired by or beneficial to our stockholders.

**Risks Related to Our Cryptocurrency Assets Treasury Strategy and Holdings**

See our Registration Statement on Form S-3, Amendment No. 1, filed with the SEC on August 26, 2025.

**USE OF PROCEEDS**

All of the Securities offered by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Stockholders for their respective accounts. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the Securities by the Selling Stockholders. However, we will receive proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants if the Warrants are exercised and the holders of such Warrants pay the exercise price in cash upon such exercise and do not utilize the cashless exercise provision of the Warrants. The Warrants are exercisable on a net exercise cashless basis or for cash at the option of the holder. If any of the Warrants are exercised on a cashless basis, we will not receive any cash payment from the applicable Selling Stockholder upon any such exercise. Assuming the exercise in full of all such Warrants for cash, we will receive up to an aggregate of approximately $30,000 from the exercise of all of the Warrants.

We intend to use our net proceeds from the cash exercised of the Warrants, if any, for general corporate purposes, to support commercial operations, working capital, repayment of indebtedness and for potential acquisitions. The amounts and timing of any expenditures will vary depending on the amount of cash generated by the cash exercise of the Warrants, if any, and our plans and business conditions.

We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the warrants (including shares of common stock underlying such warrants) covered by this prospectus. All selling and other expenses incurred by the Selling Stockholders will be borne by the Selling Stockholders.

See "Selling Stockholders" and "Plan of Distribution" described below.

 

**BACKGROUND OF THE OFFERING**

See "Selling Stockholders ⸺ Material Transactions with the Selling Stockholders" described below.

 

**SELLING STOCKHOLDERS**

The Securities being offered by the Selling Stockholders include: (i) 3,000,000 shares of our common stock, (ii) Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock, and (iii) up to 3,000,000 Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants. For additional information regarding the issuance of the Securities, see "⸺ Material Transactions with the Selling Stockholders" described below. We are registering the Securities in order to permit the Selling Stockholders to offer the Securities for resale from time to time.

As used in this prospectus, the term "Selling Stockholders" includes the selling stockholders listed in the table below, together with any additional selling stockholders listed in a subsequent amendment or supplement to this prospectus, and their donees, pledgees, assignees, transferees, distributees or other successors-in-interest that receive any Securities in any non-sale transfer after the date of this prospectus. None of the Selling Stockholders or any persons having control over such Selling Stockholders has held any position or office with us or our affiliates within the last three years or has had a material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates within the past three years except as described below.

The table below lists the Selling Stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the "*Exchange Act*," and the rules and regulations thereunder) of the shares of our common stock by each of the Selling Stockholders.

The second column lists the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by each Selling Stockholder ownership before this offering (including shares of our common stock or any other securities of our Company which the Selling Stockholder has the right to acquire within 60 days, including upon conversion of any convertible securities), based on its ownership of the Securities, as of August 22, 2025, assuming exercise of the Warrants held by the Selling Stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on conversions or exercise.

The third column lists the shares of our common stock being offered by this prospectus by the Selling Stockholders and does not take in account any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants set forth therein. As a result of such limitations, the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus may exceed the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders as of August 22, 2025. In accordance with the terms of the Letter Agreements with the Selling Stockholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of at least 100% of the number of the shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants as of the trading day immediately preceding the date the registration statement is initially filed with the SEC. Because the exercise price of the Warrants may be adjusted (in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction), the number of shares of our common stock that will actually be issued may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus.

The fourth and fifth columns list the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders and their percentage ownership after the offering shares of common stock (including shares which the Selling Stockholder has the right to acquire within 60 days, including upon conversion of any convertible securities), assuming the sale of all of the securities offered by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.

The amounts and information set forth below are based upon information provided to us by the Selling Stockholders as of August 22, 2025, except as otherwise noted below. The Selling Stockholders may sell all or some of the shares of common stock it is offering, and may sell, unless indicated otherwise in the footnotes below, shares of our common stock otherwise than pursuant to this prospectus. The tables below assume the Selling Stockholders sell all of the shares offered by them in offerings pursuant to this prospectus, and not acquire any additional shares. We are unable to determine the exact number of shares that will actually be sold or when or if these sales will occur. See "*Plan of Distribution*."

**Material Transactions with the Selling Stockholders**

*Amendment to Notes Agreement*

On July 8, 2021, we entered into an amendment of notes agreement (collectively, the "Amendments") with each of the Selling Stockholders of their subordinated 8.5% Secured Convertible Notes, originally issued to the Selling Stockholders on September 15, 2020, in the aggregate principal amount of $15.0 million (the "Notes") agreed to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date of the Notes to June 3, 2023, (ii) defer the June 30, 2022 quarterly cash interest payment to July 18, 2022, and defer the quarterly cash interest payment for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2022 to be due and payable at the same time as the quarterly cash interest payment due and payable to the Selling Stockholders for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022, and (iii) permit us to prepay the Notes at any time without any repayment/prepayment penalties and without the written consent of the Selling Stockholders, subject to approval from our senior secured lender, provided, that we shall give the Selling Stockholders at least five days prior written notice of any such prepayment or repayment (collectively, "Loan Modification"). We and the Selling Stockholders also agreed that if (i) at least $5,000,000 of the original principal amount of the Notes was not repaid by us on or prior to January 1, 2023, the conversion price of the Notes shall be amended to $3.00 per share, and we shall issue to the Selling Stockholders in aggregate an additional 250,000 shares of our common stock; (ii) at least $7,500,000 of the original principal amount of the Notes is not repaid by us on or prior to June 30, 2023, the conversion price of the Notes shall be further amended to $2.50 per share, and we shall then issue to the Selling Stockholders in aggregate an additional 500,000 shares of common stock; and (iii) the entire principal amount of the Notes then outstanding is not repaid by us on or prior to January 1, 2024, the conversion price of the Notes shall be further amended to $2.25 per share, and we shall then issue to the Selling Stockholders in aggregate an additional 750,000 shares of common stock. In addition, in consideration of the Loan Modification, we issued to the Selling Stockholders in aggregate 500,000 shares of common stock. The shares were issued and to the extent applicable, will be issued, to the Selling Stockholders as restricted securities in a private placement transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

*February 2023 Exchange Agreements*

On February 3, 2023 (the "2023 Effective Date"), we entered into an exchange agreement (collectively, the "Exchange Agreements") with each of the Selling Stockholders pursuant to which they exchanged their Notes, and relinquished any and all rights thereunder, for 21,177 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at a holder's option into shares of our common stock, at a price of $2.10 per share of common stock, bears a dividend of 12% per annum, is perpetual and has no maturity date. At our option, the dividend may be paid in-kind for the first 12 months after the 2023 Effective Date, and thereafter, at the time the Holders had the option to select whether subsequent dividend payments shall be paid in kind or in cash; provided, that as long as any Series A Preferred Stock is held by the Selling Stockholders, Trinad Capital Master Fund Ltd., a fund controlled by Mr. Ellin, our Chief Executive Officer, Chairman, director and principal stockholder ("Trinad Capital"), shall receive the dividend solely in kind. The Series A Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights, except as set forth in the Certificate of Designation (as defined below) or as otherwise required by law.

Without the prior express consent of the majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at the time of such vote (the "Majority Holders"), we shall not authorize or issue any additional or other shares of its capital stock that are (i) of senior rank to the Series A Preferred Stock or (ii) of pari passu rank to the Series A Preferred Stock, in each case in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of our Company.

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, we agreed that at any time that any of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to the Harvest Funds are outstanding, (i) to directly or through its 100% owned subsidiaries (as applicable), to own on a fully diluted basis at least 66% of the total equity and voting rights of any and all classes of securities of each of our PodcastOne, Inc. ("PodcastOne"), Slacker, Inc., PPV One, Inc., and LiveXLive Events, LLC subsidiaries, (ii) not to issue shares of its common stock or convertible equity securities at a price less than $2.10 per share (subject to certain exceptions), provided, that such consent shall not be required in connection with any merger, acquisition or other business combinations of our Company and/or any of its subsidiaries with any unaffiliated third party, (iii) not to raise more than an aggregate of $20,000,000 of capital in one or more offerings, including without limitation, one or more equity or debt offerings or a combination thereof, on an accumulated basis commencing after the 2023 Effective Date (the "Qualified Offering"); provided, that such consent shall not be required for any equity financing of our Company at a price of $2.25 per share or above, and (iv) if after the 2023 Effective Date we distribute any of our assets or any shares of our common stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Exchange agreements) of any of our subsidiaries pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of its common stock, we shall distribute to the Selling Stockholders their pro rata portion of any such distribution (calculated on an as-converted basis with respect to the then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock) concurrently with the distribution to the then record holders of any class of our common stock (including an applicable distribution of shares of PodcastOne's common stock to the Selling Stockholders in connection with the Spin-Out and special dividend of PodcastOne's common stock to our stockholders of record), in each case without the Majority Holders' prior written consent. Any breach of the aforementioned covenants or the terms of the Ellin Letter (as defined below) shall constitute a material breach, which if uncured, shall result in the issuance of an aggregate of 56,473 shares of our restricted common stock (the "Default Shares") to the Holders for each five trading days (or pro rata thereof) after the date of the breach; provided, that if such breach is cured within the applicable cure period, no Default Shares shall be issued.

In consideration for entry into the Exchange Agreements and the Selling Stockholders' willingness to forego certain rights to common stock of our Company previously agreed by the parties, we issued to the Selling Stockholders an aggregate of 600,000 shares of our common stock (the "Harvest Shares"). Additionally, we issued 25,000 shares of common stock to the Selling Stockholders as consideration for their previously agreeing to extend interest payment dates on the HSCPM Note and the HSCP Note (the "Extension Shares"). In connection with and as a condition to the entry of the Exchange Agreements, pursuant to a letter agreement with us, the Selling Stockholders and Mr. Ellin (the "Ellin Letter"), unless otherwise agreed to by the Selling Stockholders, Mr. Ellin agreed to (i) to serve as our Chief Executive Officer and (ii) extend the period during which he cannot dispose of any equity or convertible securities of our Company owned by him or any entity of which he is the beneficial owner and not to cease to be the beneficial owner of any other equity or convertible securities of our Company of which Mr. Ellin is the beneficial owner (subject to certain exceptions), in each case until the time that the Selling Stockholders no longer own any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Harvest Shares, the Extension Shares and the Series A Preferred Stock were issued, and the shares of common stock underlying the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, to the extent applicable, would be issued, to the Holders as restricted securities in a private placement transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

*April 2024 Letter Agreements*

On April 1, 2024, we entered into the Letter Agreements with the Selling Stockholders pursuant to which (i) the Selling Stockholders converted approximately $8.72 million worth of their shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock at a price of $2.10 per share, as follows: HSCPM converted 5,602.09 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 2,667,664 shares of our common stock, and HSCP converted 2,397.91 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 1,141,860 shares of our common stock, and (ii) HSCPM and HSCP received 910,340 and 389,660 the Warrants exercisable at a price of $2.10 per share.

In addition, pursuant to the Letter Agreements, the Selling Stockholders agreed (x) that any future dividends payable on the Series A Preferred Stock shall be paid in-kind or in cash at the option of our Company; provided, that as long as any Series A Preferred Stock is held by the Selling Stockholders, Trinad Capital shall receive the dividend solely in kind, (y) to remove the requirement for us to purchase from the Selling Stockholders $5,000,000 in aggregate of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by the Selling Stockholders on or before August 3, 2024.

*July 2025 Letter Agreements*

On July 15, 2025 (the "Effective Date"), we entered into letter agreements (collectively, the "Agreements") with the Harvest Funds. Pursuant to the Agreements: (i) the Harvest Funds exchanged $4,500,000 worth of its shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 3,000,000 shares of common stock, at a price of $1.50 per share, and (ii) the Harvest Funds received 3,000,000 three-year Warrants to purchase our common stock exercisable at a price of $0.01 per share.

The Shares and the Warrants were issued, and the Warrant Shares, to the extent exercised, will be issued, to the Holders as restricted securities in a private placement transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

We further agreed, on or prior to the date that is 45 days after the Effective Date, to prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or such other form as applicable) covering the resale under the Securities Act of the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares. We agreed to use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective promptly thereafter on or before 45 days after the filing of such registration statement (or if the SEC issues any comments with respect to such registration statement, on or before 90 days after the filing of such registration statement). Upon effectiveness of such Registration Statement, we agreed to use reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective with the SEC for a period equal to three years from the Effective Date for the Warrants, and with respect to the Shares and the Warrant Shares, so long as any Warrants or Shares are outstanding or held by Holder, as applicable, and to supplement, amend and/or re-file such Registration Statement to comply with such effectiveness requirement.

**DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES WE ARE OFFERING**

**General**

The following description of our capital stock and provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws are summaries and are qualified by reference to the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws that are on file with the SEC.

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes us to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 500,000,000 shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share.

As of August 22, 2025, there were 115,413,332 and 7,886.07 shares of our common stock and preferred stock (including accrued dividends as of such date) issued and outstanding, respectively.

As of August 22, 2025, we had 400 holders of record of our common stock, which excludes stockholders whose shares were held in nominee or street name by brokers. The actual number of common stockholders is greater than the number of record holders and includes stockholders who are beneficial owners, but whose shares are held in street name by brokers and other nominees. This number of holders of record also does not include stockholders whose shares may be held in trust by other entities.

**Common Stock**

***Voting***

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors, and do not have cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for election.

***Dividends***

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then outstanding preferred stock, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of legally available funds.

***Liquidation***

In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities, subject to the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock. ****

 ****

***Rights and Preferences***

Holders of our common stock have no preemptive, conversion or subscription rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of our preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.

***Fully Paid and Nonassessable***

All of our outstanding shares of common stock are, and the shares of common stock to be issued in this offering will be, fully paid and nonassessable.

**Preferred Stock**

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, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, to fix the rights, preferences and privileges of the shares of each wholly unissued series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any such series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding.

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 the common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our control that may otherwise benefit holders of our common stock and may adversely affect the market price of the common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock. As of August 22, 2025, there were 7,886.07 shares of our preferred stock outstanding (including accrued dividends as of such date), and except for the dividends payable in kind on our Series A Preferred Stock (as defined below), we have no current plans to issue any other shares of our preferred stock.

***Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock***

On February 2, 2023, we filed the Certificate of Designation (the "Certificate of Designation") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware designating 100,000 shares of our preferred stock as "Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock" (the "Series A Preferred Stock").

The Series A Preferred Stock was issued effective as of February 3, 2023, and is subsequently issued as quarterly dividends as required by its terms, to the Selling Stockholders and Trinad Capital, a fund controlled by Robert Ellin, our Chief Executive Officer, Chairman, director and principal stockholder, in exchange for certain indebtedness exchanged for such Series A Preferred Stock, as more fully discussed above. An amendment to, or waiver of rights of, the Series A Preferred Stock requires the approval of the majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at the time of such vote.

*Voting*

The holders of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock have certain voting rights as described in the Certificate of Designation equal to 1,000 votes per share of Series A Preferred Stock. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote separately as a class or series on any amendment, modification or restatement of the Certificate of Incorporation, except as would be unlawful under the laws of the State of Delaware or except as required by Section 4 of the Certificate of Designation.

*Dividends*

The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, and we shall pay, by issuing shares of Series A Preferred Stock or paying in cash to such holders, subject to and as provided in Section 3 of the Certificate of Designation, dividends on each share of Series A Preferred Stock, based on a stated value per share equal to $1,000 (the "Stated Value"), at a rate of 12% per annum (the "Interest"), commencing on February 3, 2023 (the "Original Issue Date") until the date that such share of Series A Preferred Stock is converted to our common stock (the "Interest Termination Date"). So long as a holder's shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, Interest payments shall accrue and be compounded daily on the basis of a 360-day day year and twelve 30-day months and shall be paid in arrears to such holder on the earlier of the following dates (i) the Interest Termination Date and (ii) quarterly on April 1st, July 1st, October 1st and January 1st of each year (each such date, an "Interest Payment Date"). At our option, the Interest payments may be made in shares of Series A Preferred Stock valued at a price per share equal to the Stated Value (the "Interest Shares"); provided, that Trinad Capital shall receive Interest payments solely in Interest Shares. In addition, in the event we declare any distribution or dividend of any of our assets or any shares of capital stock of any of our subsidiaries pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of common stock, we shall calculate and distribute to each holder its pro rata portion of any such distribution (calculated on an as-converted basis with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding as of the record date set by us for such distribution or dividend) concurrently with the distribution to the then record holders of any class of common stock. Except as provided in this Section 3, Section 5 and Section 7 of the Certificate of Designation, no other dividends shall be paid on shares of the Series A Preferred Stock.

As provided in the Certificate of Designation, Interest in Interest Shares was paid effective as of April 1, 2023, and subsequently as quarterly dividends, on the terms summarized above.

*Liquidation*

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our Company, either voluntarily or involuntarily, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, prior and in preference to the holders of the Common Stock, a per share amount equal to the Stated Value plus any accrued but unpaid Interest thereon, or the amount the holder would be entitled to receive if the Series A Preferred Stock were fully converted (disregarding for such purposes any conversion limitations hereunder) to common stock which amounts shall be paid pari passu with all holders of common stock.

If upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of our Company that are legally available for distribution to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full amounts above, then the entire assets of our Company that are legally available for distribution shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to what they would otherwise be entitled to receive.

 

*Rights and Preferences*

During the period any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, unless we have received the approval of the majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at the time of such vote (voting together as a single class), either at a meeting of holders of Series A Preferred Stock or by written consent, we shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, or otherwise, do any of the following without (in addition to any other vote required by law), and any such act or transaction entered into without such consent or vote shall be null and void *ab initio*, and of no force or effect:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) increase the number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock;

(ii) issue or obligate itself to issue additional shares Series A Preferred Stock other than Interest Shares;

(iii) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Certificate of Designation;

(iv) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or other charter documents in a manner that adversely affects the powers, preferences or rights of the Series A Preferred Stock or in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the Holders; or

(v) enter into any agreement with respect to the foregoing.

For purposes of the foregoing voting requirements, the increase in the amount of the authorized preferred stock (other than Series A Preferred Stock) or common stock, or the creation or issuance of any other series of Preferred Stock or common stock that we may issue, or any increase in the amount of authorized shares of such series, shall not in itself be deemed to materially and adversely affect the rights, preferences or voting powers of the Series A Preferred Stock.

*Conversion*

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock determined by multiply the number of Series A Preferred Stock by the Stated Value and dividing the product thereof by the conversion price for such series in effect at the time of conversion for the Series A Preferred Stock. The conversion price for the Series A Preferred Stock is subject to adjustment in accordance with conversion provisions contained in the Certificate of Designations. As of June 24, 2024, the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock is $2.10 per share.

We will not effect the conversion of any portion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and the holder will not have the right to convert any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and any such conversion shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the holder together with its affiliates collectively would own beneficially in excess of 4.99% (or, upon election by a holder prior to the issuance of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, such beneficial ownership limitation may increase or decrease) of the shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. This limitation is not applicable to any shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by Trinad Capital.

**Authorized and Unissued Capital Stock**

Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions.

One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved common stock or preferred stock may be to enable our board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of our management and possibly deprive the stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares at prices higher than prevailing market prices.

**Warrants**

As of August 22, 2025, there were 6,335,399 warrants outstanding.

**2016 Plan Awards**

As of August 22, 2025, we have granted options, restricted stock units, and restricted share awards, to purchase in aggregate of approximately 2,631,830 shares of our common stock under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, with a weighted average exercise price per share for outstanding shares is $3.72 and the weighted average exercise price per share for exercisable shares is approximately $3.72 per share.

**Delaware Anti-Takeover Law and Certain Charter and Bylaw Provisions**

 ****

***Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute***

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law regulating corporate takeovers. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging, under certain circumstances, in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder unless:

● prior to the date of the transaction, our board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

● upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder, (1) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (2) shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

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

Generally, a business combination includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or, within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, did own 15% or more of a corporation's outstanding voting stock. We expect the existence of this provision to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions our board of directors does not approve in advance. We also anticipate that Section 203 may discourage attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders.

The provisions of Delaware law and the provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting hostile takeovers and, as a consequence, they might also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market price of our common stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions might also have the effect of preventing changes in our management. It is also possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders might otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

***Bylaws***

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

● permit our board of directors to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with any rights, preferences and privileges as they may designate (including the right to approve an acquisition or other change in our control);

● provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the board of directors;

● provide that all vacancies, including newly created directorships, may, except as otherwise required by law, be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum; and

● do not provide for cumulative voting rights (therefore allowing the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors to elect all of the directors standing for election, if they should so choose).

The amendment of any of these provisions, with the exception of the ability of our board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock and designate any rights, preferences and privileges thereto, would require approval by the holders of a majority of our then outstanding common stock.

**Listing**

Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "LVO." The Warrants are not listed on Nasdaq, any national securities exchange or any other nationally recognized trading system.

**Transfer Agent and Registrar**

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is VStock Transfer, LLC. We serve as the registrar for the Warrants. The transfer agent and registrar's address is 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, NY 11598.

**PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION**

We are registering (i) 3,000,000 shares of our common stock, (ii) Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock, and (iii) up to 3,000,000 Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants issued to the Selling Stockholders, and without taking into account the limitations on the exercise of the Warrants set forth in the Warrants, to permit the resale of these Securities by the holders thereof from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the Securities by the Selling Stockholders. However, we will receive proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants if the Warrants are exercised and the holders of such Warrants pay the exercise price in cash upon such exercise and do not utilize the cashless exercise provision of the Warrants. Assuming the exercise in full of all such Warrants for cash, we will receive up to an aggregate of approximately $30,000 from the exercise of all of the Warrants.

The holders of the Securities (and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest (the "Selling Stockholders") may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

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

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

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

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

● privately negotiated transactions;

● broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

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

● a combination of any such methods of sale; or

● any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities. Any compensation paid to underwriters, broker-dealers or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplement and shall comply with the rules and requirements of the FINRA.

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of these shares, estimated to be approximately $50,000 in total, including, without limitation, SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or "blue sky" laws; provided, however, that the Selling Stockholders will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling Stockholders.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective (i) with respect to the Warrants, until July 15, 2028, and (ii) with respect to the Warrant Shares, so long as any Warrants are outstanding, and to supplement, amend and/or re-file the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to comply with such effectiveness requirement. The Securities shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the Securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

There can be no assurance that any Selling Stockholder will sell any or all of their Warrants (or Warrant Shares underlying the Warrants) registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

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

Once sold pursuant to this prospectus, the Warrants (or Warrant Shares underlying the Warrants if such Warrant Shares are sold) will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

**LEGAL MATTERS**

The validity of the securities being offered by this prospectus has been passed upon by Foley Shechter Ablovatskiy LLP ("FSA"). Certain of FSA's partners own shares of our common stock, which represent, in the aggregate, beneficial ownership of less than 1.0 % of our common stock.

**Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.**

Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of its directors or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his or her duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit. Our Certificate of Incorporation contains provisions that limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Consequently, our directors will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for:

● any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

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

● unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or

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

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding to which he or she is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, except that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that we are required to indemnify our directors and officers, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Our amended and restated bylaws also provide that we are obligated to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, and permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in that capacity regardless of whether we would otherwise be permitted to indemnify him or her under the provisions of Delaware law.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors and officers for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders. Further, a stockholder's investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions

In addition, in the future, we may enter into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers and some of our executives may have certain indemnification rights arising under their employment agreements with us. These indemnification agreements may require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors and officers for some expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or officer in any action or proceeding arising out of his or her service as one of our directors or officers, or any of our subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request.

These indemnification provisions and the indemnification agreements may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our officers and directors for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act. We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification of directors or officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy and, therefore, such indemnification provisions may be unenforceable.

We maintain a general liability insurance policy that covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of our corporation arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.

† Management contract or compensatory plan or arrangement. <br> \* Filed herewith.

**Item 17. Undertakings**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) 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) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) 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;

*Provided*, *however*, that:

Paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) That, for the purposes 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 such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities
Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) (A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(B) 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. 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 first use, 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 date of first use.

(b) 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 Section 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.

(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 Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

**SIGNATURES**

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, hereunto duly authorized, in Los Angeles, California on August 29, 2025.

Re: LiveOne, Inc.'s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-______)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the Registration Statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-______) (the "**Registration Statement**") filed by LiveOne, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "**Company**"), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "**Securities Act**"), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "**SEC**") pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, with respect to the resale by certain of the Company's securityholders (the "**Selling Stockholders**"), as set forth in the Registration Statement, of (i) 3,000,000 shares (the "**Shares**") of the Company's common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "**common stock**"), (ii) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of common stock, exercisable at a price of $0.01 per share (subject to adjustment as provided therein) (the "**Warrants**"), and (iii) up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants (the "**Warrant Shares**" and together with the Shares and the Warrants, the "**Securities**"). The Shares and the Warrants were issued to the Selling Stockholders in a private placement pursuant to the Letter Agreements entered into by the Company with each of the Selling Stockholders on July 15, 2025 (the "**Letter Agreements**"). This opinion is being rendered in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined the Registration Statement, the Letter Agreements, the Warrants and such documents and considered such legal matters as we have deemed necessary and relevant as the basis for the opinion set forth below. With respect to such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, including electronic signatures, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as reproduced, certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of those latter documents. As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have, to the extent deemed appropriate, relied upon certificates from, and certain representations of certain officers and employees of, the Company. For purposes of the opinion set forth below, we have assumed that before the Securities are issued the Company does not issue shares of common stock or reduce the total number of shares of common stock the Company is authorized to issue under its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the "**Certificate of Incorporation**"), such that the number of unissued shares of common stock authorized under the Certificate of Incorporation is less than the number of shares of common stock underlying the Securities. With respect to the Securities, we express no opinion to the extent that future issuances of securities of the Company, adjustments to outstanding securities of the Company or other matters cause the number of shares of common stock underlying the Securities to be greater than the number of shares of common stock available for issuance by the Company. Further, we have assumed that the exercise price of the Warrants will not be adjusted to an amount below the par value per share of the common stock.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the additional qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that (i)(x) the Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and, upon (i) the due execution by the Company and registration by its registrar of the Shares, and (y) the issuance and delivery of the Shares, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, (ii) the Warrants are valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, and (iii) the Warrant Shares have been duly authorized by the Company and when paid for upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

Our opinion is expressed only with respect to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the laws of the State of New York (the "**Covered Law**"). The opinions set forth above are subject to the following exceptions, limitations and qualifications: (i) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors; (ii) the effect of general principles of equity, whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought; (iii) the unenforceability under certain circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions providing for the indemnification of, or contribution to, a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification or contribution is contrary to public policy; and (iv) we express no opinion concerning the enforceability of any waiver of rights or defenses with respect to stay, extension or usury laws. We do not express any opinion with respect to the law of any jurisdiction other than Covered Law or as to the effect of any such non-Covered Law on the opinions herein.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we express no opinion with respect to (i) the qualification of the shares under the securities or blue sky laws of any state or any foreign jurisdiction or (ii) the compliance with any federal or state law, rule or regulation relating to securities, or to the sale or issuance thereof. We are not rendering any opinion as to compliance with any federal or state antifraud law, rule, or regulation relating to securities, or to the sale or issuance thereof.

In rendering the foregoing opinion, we have assumed that the Company will comply with all applicable notice requirements regarding uncertificated shares provided in the Covered Law. This opinion is for your benefit in connection with the Registration Statement and may be relied upon by you and by persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Securities Act. It is understood that this opinion is to be used only in connection with the offer, sale, and issuance of the Securities while the Registration Statement is in effect.

We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, to the use of our name as your counsel and to all references made to us in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus forming a part thereof. In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Please note that we are opining only as to the matters expressly set forth herein, and no opinion should be inferred as to any other matters. This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof unless otherwise expressly stated and is based upon currently existing statutes, rules, regulations and judicial decisions, and we disclaim any obligation to advise you of any change in any of these sources of law or subsequent legal or factual developments which might affect any matters or opinions set forth herein.
