**PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS, SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED AUGUST 4, 2025**

**1,500,000 Shares of Common Stock**

**Representative's Warrants to purchase up to 75,000 Shares of Common Stock**

**75,000 Shares of Common Stock underlying the Representative's Warrants**

![gevi_drsimg6.jpg](gevi_drsimg6.jpg)

**General Enterprise Ventures, Inc.**

This is a firm commitment public offering of General Enterprise Ventures, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (the "Company," "GEVI," "we," "us," or "our"). We are offering 1,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), at an assumed offering price of $8.00 per share of Common Stock, which is the midpoint of the range of $7.00 to $9.00 per share, in connection with the reverse stock split of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company at a 1-for-6 ratio (together with the reverse stock split of our outstanding Series A Preferred Stock at the same ratio effective as of July 8, 2025, the "Reverse Stock Split").

We are also seeking to register (i) warrants to purchase 75,000 common shares (or warrants to purchase 86,250 common shares if the underwriters exercise the over-allotment option in full) (the "Representative's Warrants"), being issued to the representative of the underwriters (the "Representative") in connection with the offering, as well as (ii) 75,000 common shares (or 86,250 common shares if the underwriters exercise the over-allotment option in full) issuable upon exercise of the Representative's Warrants at an exercise price of $10.00 per share (125% of the assumed initial public offering price).

Immediately after this offering, Mr. Theodore Ralston, our President, Chief Executive officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, will control approximately 81.3% of our voting power through his ownership of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock") (or 81.3% of our voting power if the underwriter's option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full). As a result, we expect to be a controlled company within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of the NYSE American LLC ("NYSE American") following the consummation of this offering.

Prior to this offering, our Common Stock is quoted on the OTCID Basic Market (the "OTCID"), maintained by OTC Markets, Inc., under the symbol "GEVI". On July 31, 2025, the last reported sale price of our Common Stock on the OTC Pink Open Market (which was replaced by OTCID on July 1, 2025) was $1.30 per share ($7.80 per share after the Reverse Stock Split). We have applied to list our shares of Common Stock on NYSE American under the symbol "MFB". No assurance can be given that our application will be approved or that a trading market will develop. This offering is contingent upon the approval of such application. If our Common Stock is not approved for listing on NYSE American, we will not consummate this offering.

The actual public offering price of the Common Stock will be determined between the underwriters and us at the time of pricing, considering our historical performance and capital structure, prevailing market conditions, and overall assessment of our business, and may be at a discount to the current market price. Therefore, the assumed public offering price per share used throughout this prospectus may not be indicative of the actual public offering price for the Common Stock. See "Determination of Offering Price" for additional information.

Unless otherwise noted, the share and per share information in this prospectus reflects, other than in our financial statements and the notes thereto, the Reverse Stock Split of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock of the Company at a 1-for-6 ratio, as well as the resulting change to the conversion rate of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (defined below) from 1-for-20 to 1-for-3 and one third, both of which would occur following the time that the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and prior to the closing of the offering.

We are a "smaller reporting company" as defined under the federal securities laws and, as such, we have elected to comply with certain reduced reporting requirements for this prospectus and may elect to do so in future filings. See "Risk Factors", and "Prospectus Summary - Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company."

We are a "Controlled Company" as defined under the listing rules of NYSE American because, and as long as, Mr. Theodore Ralston, our President, Chief Executive officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, holds more than 50% of the Company's outstanding voting power, he will exercise control over the management and affairs of the Company and matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of the Company's directors. For so long as we remain a Controlled Company under that definition, we are permitted to elect, and intend, to rely on certain exemptions from the corporate governance rules of NYSE American, including:

· an exemption from the rule that a majority of our board of directors must be independent directors;

· an exemption from the rule that the compensation of our officers must be determined or recommended to the board of directors by a majority of our independent directors or by a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors; and

· an exemption from the rule that our director nominees must be selected or recommended by a majority of the independent directors or by a nominating committee composed solely of independent directors.

**Investing in our Common Stock involves risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 11.**

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

**PROSPECTUS SUMMARY**<br>This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in the securities. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and our financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.<br>**Our Business**<br>General Enterprise Ventures, Inc., ("GEVI," "we," "us," or the "Company") is an environmentally sustainable flame retardant and flame suppression company for the residential home industry. Steve Conboy, the founder of Mighty Fire Breaker, LLC, a California limited liability company ("MFB California"), has been in the lumber business for over 30 years. Mr. Conboy understood that, even if lumber was treated, it was toxic by nature and this toxicity is harmful to humans and the environment. He realized that there was a market, and most importantly a need, for a product that was capable of fire suppression and being a fire retardant while also being safe for the environment and for human beings.<br>Mr. Conboy set out to develop a formula for a product that would meet these requirements. During the course of research and development, Mr. Conboy formed MFB California and contributed numerous patents toward the development of a green product line that was envisioned many years ago--CitroTech. In September 2021, Mr. Conboy was introduced to the Company. During discussions with Mr. Conboy, the Company realized that its general business acumen and financial ability could help Mr. Conboy to utilize his technical expertise in the flame retardant and flame suppression industry and bring his product and vision to the market. On January 3, 2022, the Company formed Mighty Fire Breaker, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company ("MFB Ohio"), with the intention to acquire all the intellectual property of MFB California, in connection with the flame retardant and flame suppression segments of the environmental industry, including patents and pending patents. <br>On April 13, 2022, the Company, MFB Ohio, MFB California and Mr. Conboy, the sole member of MFB California, entered into a Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company (i) acquired all membership interests of MFB California, (ii) acquired all intellectual property owned by MFB California and Mr. Conboy, (iii) issued 1,000,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value of $0.0001 per share of the Company ("Series C Convertible Preferred Stock"), valued at $4,200,000 at closing to Mr. Conboy and (iv) agreed to provide a 10% royalty to Mr. Conboy on gross sales before taxes of the MFB Ohio product. <br>Since MFB Ohio acquired MFB California and the intellectual property from MFB California and Mr. Conboy, the Company has continued to develop many formulations based on its intellectual property and Mr. Conboy has remained involved with the Company as a technical consultant. Mr. Conboy is not an employee of the Company. His management and his services include supervision of product blending at the Company's facility located in Oceanside, California according to the formulas developed by Mr. Conboy, and the development of new products and formulas as the Company's Chief Technology Officer, pursuant to the Consulting Agreement discussed below. In addition, Mr. Conboy utilizes his network in the fire retardant and flame suppression industry to make introductions to prospective customers and form strategic relationships for the Company. <br>The Purchase Agreement contemplated the parties entering into a separate royalty agreement related to sales of the MFB Ohio product. However, the Company and Mr. Conboy mutually agreed not to enter into a separate royalty agreement and instead entered into a Consulting Agreement, dated January 26, 2025, effective as of March 1, 2025 (the "Consulting Agreement"). Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, Mr. Conboy will serve as the Company's Chief Technology Officer, Mr. Conboy will receive a monthly fee of $35,000 beginning on March 1, 2025, and the Company has the right, but not the obligation, at any time upon written notice to Mr. Conboy, to purchase the royalty from Mr. Conboy for the amount of $7,500,000. The Purchase Agreement also states that Mr. Conboy is entitled to appoint one member on the Board of Directors of the Company. As of the date of this prospectus, Mr. Conboy has not exercised such right.<br>Our current product is CitroTech, which is utilized in wildfire defense and to treat lumber to inhibit fire. In addition, we are developing a coating to treat lumber during manufacture prior to distribution Our product is sustainable, because it is made of food-grade ingredients derived from corn, fruits and other renewable sources. Our current customer base is mainly comprised of homeowners, developers and fire departments in 11 Western States. Homeowners and developers use our product to proactively spray wood framing during construction to treat the property prior to the occurrence of fires. We install systems to deploy our product remotely to provide a buffer zone around properties to prevent combustion. Fire Departments use our product to proactively spray around controlled burns and areas that traditionally have active wildfire risk to prevent expansion of the burn area.<br>As of the date of this prospectus, the Company has received the EPA Safer Choice award twice and has been awarded the UL GreenGuard Gold status (demonstrates minimal impact on the indoor environment in the long period). CitroTech is the first and only EPA recognized fire retardant (safe for the environment) that has been adopted by departments throughout the State of California. In addition, MFB Ohio entered into a Partnership Agreement between MFB Ohio and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") on August 26, 2022 (the "EPA Partnership Agreement"). Under the EPA Partnership Agreement, MFB Ohio agreed to participate in EPA Safer Choice's surveillance and auditing program, which consists primarily of annual desk audits and triennial on-site audits. The EPA Partnership Agreement has a term of three years and may be renewed by mutual agreement prior to the expiration date. During the 2025, the Company plans to initiate the audit process with the EPA to review the Partnership Agreement.<br>The Company intends to expand its patent portfolio and technology into areas previously thought of as toxic and carcinogenic and provide environmentally safe product alternatives. MFB Ohio has developed and is in the initial phases of marketing wood coatings using its safe, environmentally friendly technology. MFB Ohio provides a self-contained sprinkler system containing its patented CitroTech product that can be proactively deployed in advance of wildfires (the "Proactive Wildfire Defense System") on residential and commercial properties, thereby reducing the fire risk to the structures. <br>The Company is also in discussions with insurance companies to reduce the fire risk and help ensure properties in the Wilderness Urban Interface, a transitional zone where developed areas meet wilderness and face heightened risk of catastrophic wildfires, remain insurable. There is a wildfire base insurance shortage in 11 Western States. In those States, insurance companies are refusing to provide coverage on new construction and will not renew existing policies, resulting in cancelation of polices. MFB Ohio is partnering with a large insurance broker to offer insurance to our customers if they utilize our Proactive Wildfire Defense System in their properties. Our product is currently in the proof-of-concept phase and beginning to generate revenues across several markets.<br>Our management is comprised of four individuals: Thedore Ralston, our Chief Executive officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Nanuk Warman, our Chief Financial Officer, Stephen Conboy, who is our Chief Technology Officer and Anthony Newton, who is our General Counsel. As of the date of this prospectus, Mr. Ralston has approximately 85% of the voting power through his ownership of Series A Preferred Stock, which has super voting rights, and substantially controls all corporate matters.<br>

**Business Model**<br>***Principal product, services and markets***<br>The Company's subsidiary MFB holds various intellectual property in the form of patents and trademarks in the fields of fire suppression, mapping and tracking of fire retardant dispersion and fire inhibition chemistry and technology. The Company and MFB have obtained multiple certifications and accreditations in this industry for their CitroTech product, such as being the only United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") Safer Choice approved, long-term fire retardant, awarded UL GreenGuard Gold status, and California Bioassay water approval. The EPA Safer Choice award recognizes achievements in the design, manufacture, promotion, selection and use of products with safer chemicals, that furthers outstanding or innovative source reduction, including work that results in cleaner air or water. UL GreenGuard Gold recognizes demonstrated product sustainability and commitment to increased health through products that have low chemical emissions.<br>Future Markets Insights, a market researcher in Pimpri-Chinchwad, India, projects that the fire-retardant market is forecast to be $13.6 billion dollars globally by 2034. MFB markets its product to home, industrial and commercial users, as well as fire departments.<br>***Distribution methods***<br>MFB ships directly from its Oceanside, California facility, and has product available to fulfill orders. The Company's product is blended in Oceanside, California according to the formulas developed by Mr. Conboy, under his supervision, whereafter the product is either shipped directly to customers or delivered to the regional retailers for direct sale to smaller consumers.<br>***Competitive business conditions and the Company's competitive position in the industry***<br>The fire-retardant market has been status quo for many years without significant innovation. A study at the University of Southern California published in Environmental Science and Technology explained that the fire retardant industry is known for having products containing toxic metals that are not environmentally safe, and are considered not friendly toward humans, wildlife, fish, water, and plants. MFB's CitroTech is an all-green fire retardant. We feel that MFB's product will be sold at amounts that can be competitive in many markets, including western states where wildfires occur, and areas of the United States where there is new home construction relating to population growth, such as Florida and Texas. Our industry is evolving rapidly and is becoming increasingly competitive. Competitors, such as Perimeter Solutions, SA have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. Competitors, such as Perimeter Solutions, SA have adopted, and may continue to adopt, aggressive pricing policies and devote substantially more resources to marketing, website and systems development than we do.<br>***Patents, trademarks and licenses and their duration***<br>MFB currently holds 31 granted patents and 56 pending patent applications. The granted patents include MFB's main chemistry and applications. MFB has 21 trademarks and various copyrights. <br>

***Need for government approval of principal product or services.*** <br>Use of MFB's product on government land may require governmental permits and certifications from the EPA. MFB is in the process of determining the scope of any permit and certification requirements. Once completed, MFB will obtain required permits and certificates. <br>***Effect of existing or probable government regulations on the business***<br>MFB tracks all proposed regulatory changes and makes commercially reasonable efforts to comply in advance. MFB maintains an advisory board of retired high level fire officials that watch such changes for the Company. MFB also retains legal counsel that is experienced in this regard.<br>***Cost and effects of compliance with environmental laws***<br>Expenses for initial permit and certification applications with the EPA have been paid. MFB expects annual costs for EPA certifications to be not more than $10,000. We believe that the only certification required for our product is with the EPA.<br>**Recent Developments**<br>**Proposed Listing on NYSE American**<br>Our Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTCID under the symbol "GEVI". In connection with this offering, we have applied to list our Common Stock on NYSE American under the symbol "MFB". If our listing application is approved, we expect to list our Common Stock on NYSE American upon consummation of the offering, at which point our Common Stock will cease to be quoted on the OTCID. No assurance can be given that our listing application will be approved. This offering will only be consummated if NYSE American approves the listing of our Common Stock. NYSE American listing requirements include, among other things, a stock price threshold. As a result we are taking the necessary steps to meet NYSE American listing requirements. If NYSE American does not approve the listing of our Common Stock, we will not proceed with this offering. There can be no assurance that our Common Stock will be listed on NYSE American.<br>**Reverse Stock Split**<br>On April 15, 2025, our Board of Directors and our stockholders that have a majority of our voting power approved an amendment to our articles of incorporation (as amended, the "Articles of Incorporation") to effect the Reverse Stock Split (which includes the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock of the Company at a 1-for-6 ratio) following the effective time on which the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is declared effective by the SEC but prior to the closing of this offering. The Board of Directors has effected the Reverse Stock Split in connection with the consummation of this offering and our intended listing of our Common Stock on NYSE American; however, we cannot guarantee that the Reverse Stock Split will cause NYSE American to approve our initial listing application for our Common Stock.<br>The Reverse Stock Split will not impact the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, which will remain at 1,000,000,000 shares. Unless otherwise noted, the share and per share information in this prospectus reflects, other than in our historical financial statements and the notes thereto, the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of 1-for-6 to occur following the effective time on which the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is declared effective by the SEC but prior to the closing of this offering.<br>**Cancellation of Placement Agent Warrants**<br>Effective July 31, 2025, the Company and Univest Securities, LLC agreed that placement agent warrant numbers PA-1 to purchase up to 249,500 shares of common stock, PA-2 to purchase up to 101,125 shares of common stock, PA-3 to purchase up to 142,000 shares of common stock and PA-4 to purchase up to 178,750 shares of common stock (collectively, the "Placement Agent Warrants") would be terminated in full and rendered null and void, and all past, current, or future obligations under the Placement Agent Warrants shall be extinguished, and there shall be no surviving right, title or interest in or to the Placement Agent Warrants any shares purchasable thereunder. The Placement Agent Warrants were originally issued on March 7, 2025, in connection with private placement transactions conducted with Univest acting as placement agent.<br>**Summary of Risks Associated with our Business and Operations**<br>Our business is subject to a number of risks that you should be aware of before making an investment decision to purchase our securities. You should carefully consider all of the information set forth in this prospectus and, in particular, should evaluate the specific factors set forth in the section titled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 11 in deciding whether to invest in our securities.

| <u>Risks Relating to this Offering and our Reverse Stock-Split</u> | <u>Risks Relating to this Offering and our Reverse Stock-Split</u> |
| ·  | Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value. |
| ·  | Our management will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this offering and may not use the proceeds effectively. |
| ·  | Even if the Reverse Stock Split of our Common Stock currently achieves the requisite increase in the market price of our Common Stock for listing of our Common Stock, we cannot assure you that the market price of our Common Stock will remain high enough for the Reverse Stock Split to have the intended effect of complying with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing. |
| ·  | Subject to the requirements of controlled company status, there can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with continued listing standards, a failure of which could result in a delisting of our Common Stock. |
| ·  | The Reverse Stock Split may decrease the liquidity of the shares of our Common Stock. |
| ·  | Following the Reverse Stock Split, the resulting market price of our Common Stock may not attract new investors, including institutional investors, and may not satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. Consequently, the trading liquidity of our Common Stock may not improve. |
| ·  | As a result of the timing of the Reverse Stock Split, uplisting to NYSE American and pricing of this offering, potential investors will not have an opportunity to check the actual post-split market price before confirming their purchases in this offering. |
| <u>Risks Relating to our Common Stock and Securities</u> | <u>Risks Relating to our Common Stock and Securities</u> |
| ·  | Our stock price has fluctuated in the past, has recently been volatile and may be volatile in the future, and as a result, investors in our Common Stock could incur substantial losses. |
| ·  | Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may cause the price of our Common Stock to decline. |
| ·  | We do not expect to declare any Common Stock cash dividends in the foreseeable future. |
| <u>Risks Relating to Our Business</u> | <u>Risks Relating to Our Business</u> |
| ·  | The report of the independent registered public accounting firm on our 2024 and 2023 financial statements contains a going concern qualification. |
| ·  | We are controlled by one principal stockholder who serves as our Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. Because the principal stockholder controls the outcome of all stockholder votes and thus, the vote of other stockholders is less valuable. |
| ·  | If we are unable to expand our base of customers, our future growth and operating results could be adversely affected. |
| ·  | If we are unable to expand our base of raw material suppliers, our future growth and operating results could be adversely affected. |
| ·  | Various factors outside our direct control may adversely affect manufacturing and distribution of our product. |
| ·  | Interruption of our supply chain could affect our ability to produce or deliver our product and could negatively impact our business and profitability. |
| ·  | We are subject to the seasonality of wildfires that may occur by acts of God that are inconsistent and unpredictable. |
| ·  | We are relying exclusively on the skills and expertise of a four person management team: Thedore Ralston, our Chief Executive officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Nanuk Warman, our Chief Financial Officer, Stephen Conboy, who is our Chief Technology Officer and Anthony Newton, who is our General Counsel, and none of our executive officers are full-time employees, which may impede our ability to carry on our business. |
| ·  | Since we have a limited operating history, it is difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business. |
| ·  | We do not currently have sufficient cash flow to maintain our business. |
| ·  | Increased operating costs and obstacles to cost recovery due to the pricing and cancelation terms of our raw materials and support services contracts may constrain our ability to make a profit. |
| ·  | Governmental regulations relating to environmental product may subject us to significant liability. |
| ·  | If we do not have sufficient product liability insurance, we may be subject to claims that are in excess of our net worth. |
| <u>Risks Relating to our Indebtedness</u> | <u>Risks Relating to our Indebtedness</u> |
| ·  | We are highly leveraged. |
| ·  | We could incur additional indebtedness in the future. If new indebtedness is added to our current debt levels, the related risks we now face could increase. |
| <u>Risks Relating to MFB</u> | <u>Risks Relating to MFB</u> |
| ·  | Changes in consumer preferences or discretionary consumer spending could harm our performance. |
| ·  | We may become subject to potential claims for product liability. |
| ·  | Increases in prices of commodities needed to manufacture our product could adversely affect profitability. |

**CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This prospectus contains "forward-looking statements," all of which are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "expects," "plans," "will," "forecasts," "projects," "intends," "estimates," and other words of similar meaning. One can identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements are likely to address our growth strategy, financial results and product and development programs. One must carefully consider any such statement and should understand that many factors could cause actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements. These factors may include inaccurate assumptions and a broad variety of other risks and uncertainties, including some that are known and some that are not. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual future results may vary materially.

These risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, include, and are not limited to:

· Risk of going concern opinion from our auditors, indicating the possibility that we may not continue to operate;

· Due to limited operating history, it may be difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business;

· Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value;

· Our management will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this offering and may not use the proceeds effectively;

· Even if the Reverse Stock Split increases the market price of our Common Stock and we meet initial listing requirements, there can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with continued listing standards, a failure of which could result in a delisting of our Common Stock;

· Our stock price has fluctuated in the past, has recently been volatile and may be affected by limited trading volume and price fluctuations;

· It cannot be assured that the market price of our Common Stock will remain high enough to list our Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split;

· The Reverse Stock Split may decrease the liquidity of our shares and may not attract new investors, including institutional investors;

· Upon exercise of our outstanding options or warrants and upon conversion of our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, we will be obligated to issue a substantial number of additional shares of Common Stock which will dilute our present stockholders and may cause our stock price to decline;

· We may issue preferred stock without approval of our stockholders and have other antitakeover defenses which may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us and could depress our stock price;

· We do not intend to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future;

· Our ability to raise the necessary financing for the development of our business and the terms of any financing which we are able to raise;

· Our ability to obtain and enforce any United States and foreign intellectual property we may seek;

· Our ability to generate sufficient revenue from our contract services to cover our operating expenses;

**RISK FACTORS**

*An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this prospectus before making an investment decision with regard to our securities. The statements contained in this prospectus include forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. The risks set forth below are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties may exist that could also adversely affect our business, prospects or operations. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or a significant part of your investment.*

**<u>Risks Relating to this Offering and our Reverse Stock-Split</u>**

***Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value.***

The assumed public offering price of the shares of Common Stock is substantially higher than the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. As a result, investors in this offering will incur immediate dilution of $7.00 per share based on the assumed public offering price of $8.00 per share (after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split). Investors in this offering will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds the book value of our assets after subtracting our liabilities. See "Dilution" for a more complete description of how the value of your investment will be diluted upon the completion of this offering.

***Our management will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this offering and may not use the proceeds effectively***.

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this offering. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to provide funding for the following purposes: approximately 40% of the proceeds will be used for working capital, human resources, and general corporate purposes, approximately 50% of the proceeds will be used for production and inventory, and the remaining approximately 10% of the proceeds will be used for marketing. Our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. The net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not improve our operating results or enhance the value of our securities.

***Even if the Reverse Stock Split of our Common Stock currently achieves the requisite increase in the market price of our Common Stock for listing of our Common Stock, we cannot assure you that the market price of our Common Stock will remain high enough for the Reverse Stock Split to have the intended effect of complying with minimum bid price requirement for continued listing.***

Even if the Reverse Stock Split achieves the requisite increase in the market price of our Common Stock to be in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of NYSE American, there can be no assurance that the market price of our Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split and closing of this offering will remain at a price per share sufficient to meet the continued listing standards on the NYSE American. Maintaining a low price per share for a substantial period will result in a notice from the NYSE American requiring the Company to be subject to delisting. It is not uncommon for the market price of a company's Common Stock to decline in the period following a Reverse Stock Split. If the market price of our Common Stock declines following the Reverse Stock Split, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of the Reverse Stock Split. In any event, other factors unrelated to the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding, such as negative financial or operational results, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and jeopardize our ability to meet or maintain the NYSE American's minimum trading price requirement.

***Subject to the requirements of controlled company status, there can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with continued listing standards, a failure of which could result in a delisting of our Common Stock***.

The Company is a controlled company, because more than 50% of the voting rights are vested in one person, Theodore Ralston, our Chairman of the Board and an executive officer. Accordingly, the Company will have reduced listing standards until such time as it is no longer a controlled company. In conjunction with this offering, we have applied to list our Common Stock on NYSE American. Prior to the consummation of this offering, our Common Stock was quoted on the OTCID. There is no assurance that our Common Stock will be listed or be able to continue to comply with the applicable listing standards. Should our Common Stock be listed on NYSE American, to maintain that listing, NYSE American requires that the trading price of a company's listed stock on NYSE American remain above one dollar in order for such stock to remain listed. If a listed stock trades below one dollar for more than 30 consecutive trading days, then it is subject to delisting from NYSE American. In addition, to maintain a listing on NYSE American, we must satisfy minimum financial and standards, including minimum stockholders' equity, and certain corporate governance requirements. If we are unable to satisfy these requirements or standards, we could be subject to delisting, which would have a negative effect on the price of our Common Stock and would impair your ability to sell or purchase our Common Stock when you wish to do so. In the event of a delisting, we would expect to take actions to restore our compliance with the listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our Common Stock to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our Common Stock, prevent our Common Stock from dropping below the minimum bid price requirement, or prevent future non-compliance with the listing requirements.

***The Reverse Stock Split may decrease the liquidity of the shares of our Common Stock***.

The liquidity of the shares of our Common Stock may be affected adversely by the Reverse Stock Split given the reduced number of shares that will be outstanding following the Reverse Stock Split, especially if the market price of our Common Stock does not increase as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split may increase the number of stockholders who own odd lots (less than 100 shares) of our Common Stock, creating the potential for such stockholders to experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares of Common Stock and greater difficulty effecting such sales.

***Following the Reverse Stock Split, the resulting market price of our Common Stock may not attract new investors, including institutional investors, and may not satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. Consequently, the trading liquidity of our Common Stock may not improve***.

Although we believe that a higher market price of our Common Stock may help generate greater or broader investor interest, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split will result in a share price that will attract new investors, including institutional investors. In addition, there can be no assurance that the market price of our Common Stock will satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. As a result, the trading liquidity of our Common Stock may not necessarily improve.

***As a result of the timing of the Reverse Stock Split, uplist to NYSE American and pricing of this offering, potential investors will not have an opportunity to check the actual post-split market price before confirming their purchases in this offering.***

We have filed an amendment to our articles of incorporation, as amended, to effect the Reverse Stock Split. Because such Reverse Stock Split will occur prior to FINRA adjusting the price of the Common Stock of the Company on OTCID, following the SEC declaring such registration statement effective and concurrently with the pricing of this offering, potential investors will not be able to check the actual post-split market price of our Common Stock on NYSE American before confirming purchases in the offering.

**<u>Risks Relating to our Common Stock and Securities</u>**

***Our stock price has fluctuated in the past, has recently been volatile and may be volatile in the future, and as a result, investors in our Common Stock could incur substantial losses.***

Our stock price has fluctuated in the past, has recently been volatile and may be volatile in the future. We may incur rapid and substantial decreases in our stock price in the foreseeable future that are unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. The market price for our Common Stock may be influenced by many factors, including the following:

● investor reaction to our business strategy;

● the success of competitive products or technologies;

● regulatory or legal developments in the United States, especially changes in laws or regulations applicable to our product;

● variations in our financial results or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to us;

● our ability or inability to raise additional capital and the terms on which we raise it;

● declines in the market prices of stocks generally;

● our public disclosure of the terms of any financing which we consummate in the future;

● an announcement that we have effected the Reverse Stock Split;

● our failure to become profitable;

---

| *[Table of contents](#toc)* |

---

● our failure to raise working capital;

● cancellation of key contracts;

● our failure to meet financial forecasts we publicly disclose;

● trading volume of our Common Stock;

● sales of our Common Stock by us or our stockholders; and

● general economic, industry and market conditions.

These broad market and industry factors may seriously harm the market price of our Common Stock, regardless of our operating performance. Since the stock price of our Common Stock has fluctuated in the past, has been recently volatile and may be volatile in the future, investors in our Common Stock could incur substantial losses. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management's attention and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. There can be no guarantee that our stock price will remain at current prices or that future sales of our Common Stock will not be at prices lower than those sold to investors.

Additionally, recently, securities of certain companies have experienced significant and extreme volatility in stock price due short sellers of shares of Common Stock, known as a "short squeeze." These short squeezes have caused extreme volatility in those companies and in the market and have led to the price per share of those companies to trade at a significantly inflated rate that is disconnected from the underlying value of the company. Many investors who have purchased shares in those companies at an inflated rate face the risk of losing a significant portion of their original investment as the price per share has declined steadily as interest in those stocks have abated. While we have no reason to believe our shares would be the target of a short squeeze, there can be no assurance that we won't be in the future, and you may lose a significant portion or all of your investment if you purchase our shares at a rate that is significantly disconnected from our underlying value.

Market prices for our Common Stock will be influenced by a number of factors, including:

● the issuance of new equity securities of the Company pursuant to a future offering, including issuances of preferred stock;

● the introduction of new products or services by us or our nearest market competitor;

● changes in interest rates;

● competitive developments, including announcements by our nearest market competitor of new products or services or significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

● variations in our quarterly operating results;

● change in financial estimates by securities analysts;

● a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for our Company;

● the depth and liquidity of the market for our shares of Common Stock;

● sales of large blocks of our Common Stock, including sales by our major stockholders, any executive officers or directors appointed in the future, or by other significant stockholders;

● investor perceptions of our Company; and

● market price fluctuations may negatively affect the ability of investors to sell our shares at consistent prices.

***Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may cause the price of our Common Stock to decline***.

Sales of large blocks of our Common Stock could depress the price of our Common Stock. The existence of these shares and shares of Common Stock that may be issuable upon conversion or exercise, as applicable, of outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock, warrants and options create a circumstance commonly referred to as an "overhang" which can act as a depressant to our Common Stock price. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-linked securities more difficult in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. If our existing stockholders and investors seek to convert or exercise such securities or sell a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock, such selling efforts may cause significant declines in the market price of our Common Stock. In addition, the shares of our Common Stock in the offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). As a result, a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may be sold in the public market following this offering. If there are significantly more shares of Common Stock offered for sale than buyers are willing to purchase, then the market price of our Common Stock may decline to a market price at which buyers are willing to purchase the offered Common Stock and sellers remain willing to sell our Common Stock.

**<u>Risks Relating to Our Business</u>**

***The report of the independent registered public accounting firm on our 2024 and 2023** **financial statements contains a going concern qualification.***

Our consolidated financial statements for 2024 and 2023 are prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses since inception and has been dependent on related parties to fund operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.

There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available from external sources, such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations, or to raise capital from external sources, would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company's existing stockholders.

The Company intends to overcome the circumstances that impact its ability to remain a going concern through a combination of increasing its revenues, with interim cash flow deficiencies being addressed through additional equity and debt financing. The Company anticipates raising additional funds through public or private financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements in the near future to support its business operations; however, the Company may not have commitments from third parties for a sufficient amount of additional capital. The Company cannot be certain that any such financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and its failure to raise capital when needed could limit its ability to continue its operations.

The Company's ability to obtain additional funding will determine its ability to continue as a going concern. Failure to secure additional financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial performance, results of operations and stock price and require it to curtail or cease operations, sell off its assets, seek protection from its creditors through bankruptcy proceedings, or otherwise. Furthermore, additional equity financing may be dilutive to the holders of the Company's Common Stock, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, and strategic relationships, if necessary to raise additional funds, and may require that the Company relinquish valuable rights.

***We are controlled by one principal stockholder who serves as our Chairman of the Board and our executive officer.***

As of the date of this prospectus, Mr. Theodore Ralston holds 1,364,141 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to vote 1,000 votes per share, and as such Mr. Ralston controls approximately 81.4% of the vote prior to the consummation of the offering, or 81.3% of the vote immediately following the consummation of the offering, assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option (81.3% of the vote immediately following the consummation of the offering, assuming full exercise of the over-allotment option), and the ability to control all other matters requiring the approval of our stockholders, including the election of all of our directors.

***If we are unable to expand our base of customers, our future growth and operating results could be adversely affected.***

We have committed and continue to commit resources to the expansion and increased marketing of our CitroTech™ product. If we are unable to market and sell our product to new customers, our ability to grow revenue and achieve profitability could be negatively impacted.

***If we are unable to expand our base of materials suppliers, our future growth and operating results could be adversely affected.***

We currently compound our product in house with materials supplied from manufacturers. There are no contracts in place with the suppliers. We have committed resources to expanding our supplier base. If we are unable to obtain additional sources for our materials, it could limit our ability to grow revenue and achieve profitability.

***Various factors outside our direct control may adversely affect suppliers and distribution of our product.***

Changes that our suppliers may make outside the purview of our direct control can have an impact on our processes, quality of our product, and the successful delivery of our product to our customers. Mistakes and mishandling are not uncommon and can affect supply and delivery. Some of these risks include:

● compliance with the required regulatory standards;

● transportation risk;

● the cost and availability of components and supplies;

● delays in analytical results or failure of analytical techniques that we will depend on for quality control and release of product; and

● natural disasters, labor disputes, financial distress, raw material availability, issues with facilities and equipment, or other forms of disruption to business operations affecting our suppliers.

If any of these risks were to materialize, our ability to provide our product to customers on a timely basis would be adversely impacted.

***We are subject to the seasonality of wildfires that may occur and acts of God that are inconsistent and unpredictable.***

Our business is highly dependent on the needs of commercial property owners, residential homeowners and government agencies to suppress fires. As such, our financial condition and results of operations are significantly impacted by weather as well as environmental and other factors affecting climate change, which impact the number and severity of fires in any given year. Historically, sales of our product have been higher in the summer season of each calendar year due to weather patterns which we believe are generally correlated to a higher prevalence of wildfires; however, one example of an exception to this seasonality is the wildfires in Los Angeles, California during January 2025.

***We rely exclusively on the skills and expertise of a four-person management team in conducting our business, who does not devote all of their time to managing the Company, and none of our executive officers are full-time employees, which may impede our ability to carry on our business.***

We are relying exclusively on the skills and expertise of a four-person management team in conducting our business: Thedore Ralston, our Chief Executive officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Nanuk Warman, our Chief Financial Officer, Stephen Conboy, who is our Chief Technology Officer and Anthony Newton, who is our General Counsel. Our President, Chief Executive officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Technology Officer, General Counsel and Chairman of the Board of Directors do not devote all of their time to managing the Company. None of our executive officers are full-time employees, which may impede our ability to carry out our business. The lack of full-time employees among our executive officers may very well prevent the Company's operations from being efficient, and may impair the business progress and growth, which is a risk to any investor. Our lack of full-time management may be an impediment to our business development. Without full-time officers, we may not have sufficient devoted time and effort to our commercialization efforts, or efforts to find and raise additional capital, or manage our business, which could impair our ability to succeed in our business plan and could cause investment in our Company to lose value.

***Since we have a limited operating history, it is difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business.***

Our limited operating history makes it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business or prospective operations. Since our formation in March of 1990, we have not generated enough revenues to exceed our expenses. MFB California acquired MFB Ohio and its portfolio of intellectual property in April 2022 and entered the fire retardant and fire suppression industry as of that date. As a result, we are subject to all the risks inherent in the initial organization, financing, expenditures, complications, and delays inherent in new business lines. Investors should evaluate an investment in us in light of the uncertainties encountered by developing companies in a competitive environment. Our business is dependent upon the implementation of our business plan. We may not be successful in implementing such a plan and cannot guarantee that, if implemented, we will ultimately be able to attain profitability.

***We do not currently have sufficient cash flow to maintain our business.***

We do not currently have enough cash flow to operate our business. Without the proceeds from this offering, the Company anticipates that it existing cash will support its operations for two years. We expect our existing cash together with proceeds from this offering will enable us to fund our operating expenses through and capital expenditure requirements for five years from the date of this prospectus. We believe, that due to the effect of the wildfires in Los Angeles during January 2025, and the more common wildfire season during the summer months that our product orders will continue at the current rate throughout the calendar year 2025. We do not anticipate a material increase to our sales, general and administrative expenses during 2025. We believe that the proceeds from this offering will also enable us to expand sales and business development efforts to further increase product orders subsequent to calendar year 2025. Therefore, the Company does not anticipate being dependent upon additional capital in the form of either debt or equity to continue our operations and expand our product to new markets.

***Increased operating costs and obstacles to cost recovery due to the pricing and cancelation terms of our raw materials and support services contracts may constrain our ability to make a profit.***

Our profitability can be adversely affected to the extent we are faced with cost increases for raw materials, wages, or other labor-related expenses, especially when we cannot recover such increased costs through increases in the prices for our product and services. In some cases, we will have to absorb any cost increases, which may adversely impact our operating results.

***If we do not have sufficient product liability insurance, we may be subject to claims that are in excess of our net worth.***

The Company currently has product liability insurance. However, in the event of major claims from the use of our product, it is possible that our product liability insurance will not be sufficient to cover claims against us. We cannot assure you that we will not face liability arising out of the use of our product which is significantly in excess of the limits of our product liability insurance. In such event, if we do not have the funds or access to the funds necessary to satisfy such liability, we may be unable to continue in business.

***Our failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could have an adverse impact on us***.

We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition, or results of operations. In addition, management's assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure of management's assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure of our public accounting firm's attestation to or report on management's assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our Common Stock.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no system of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Further, controls can be circumvented by individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more persons, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

At present, management has identified a material weakness due to lack of segregation of duties. The lack of segregation of duties existed as a result of the Company having none of its executives being full-time employees. Management plans to add additional resources, technology and headcount as warranted by the growth of the Company. Management is in the process of putting proper policies and procedures in place to ensure proper documentation is established and maintained for transactions that the Company enters into. While we believe these efforts will improve our internal controls and address the underlying causes of the material weakness, such material weakness will not be remediated until our remediation plan has been fully implemented and we have concluded that our controls are operating effectively for a sufficient period of time. We cannot be certain that the steps we are taking will be sufficient to remediate the control deficiencies that led to our material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting or prevent future material weaknesses or control deficiencies from occurring. While we are working to remediate the material weakness as timely and efficiently as possible, at this time we cannot provide an estimate of costs expected to be incurred in connection with the implementation of this remediation plan, nor can we provide an estimate of the time it will take to complete this remediation plan. Even if management does establish effective remedial measures, we cannot guarantee that those internal controls and disclosure controls that we put in place will prevent all possible errors, mistakes, or all fraud.

**<u>Risks Relating to MFB</u>**

***Changes in consumer preferences or discretionary consumer spending could harm our performance.***

The success of our business depends, in part, upon the continued popularity of our product, and shifts in these consumer preferences could negatively affect our future profitability.

Negative publicity over certain environmental products may adversely affect demand for our product and could result in a decrease in our revenues, which could materially harm our business. Additionally, our success depends, in part, on a builder preference for our product and, to an extent, on numerous factors affecting operational budgeting, including economic conditions and customer confidence.

A decline in operational budgeting or economic conditions could reduce guest traffic or impose practical limits on pricing, either of which could harm our business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flow.

***We may become subject to potential claims for product liability.***

Our business could expose us to claims for personal injury from contamination of our product. We believe that our product's quality is carefully monitored through regular product testing, but we may be subject to liability as a result of customer or distributor misuse or storage. The Company maintains product liability insurance against certain types of claims in amounts which it believes to be adequate. The Company also maintains an umbrella insurance policy that it considers to be sufficient to cover claims made above its product liability insurance limits. Although no claims have been made against the Company or its distributors to date and the Company believes its current level of insurance to be adequate for its current business operations, it is possible that such claims will arise in the future, and the Company's policies may not be sufficient to pay for such claims.

***Increases in prices of commodities needed to manufacture our product could adversely affect profitability.***

The ingredients and materials needed to manufacture and package our product are subject to the commodities markets' normal price fluctuations. Any increase in the price of those ingredients and materials that cannot be passed along to the consumer will adversely affect our profitability. Any prolonged or permanent increase in the cost of the raw ingredients to manufacture our product may in the long term make it more difficult for us to earn a profit.

**Risks Related to Regulatory and Legal Matters**

***Our product is provided to emergency services personnel and is intended to protect lives and property, so we are subject to heightened liability and reputational risks if our product fails to provide such protection as intended.***

Our fire retardant product is provided to, among other customers, emergency services personnel and is intended to protect lives and property, so we are subject to heightened liability risks if our product fails to provide such protection. While our product is effective in retarding fires, there is no guarantee such product will be able to stop all fires due to their unpredictability and variation in size and/or speed in which a fire is burning. In addition, fires need to be fought with the cooperation and assistance of local fire authorities as well as the additional tools and resources that they bring. Therefore, while we recognize the importance of the role our product plays in these critical efforts, our product is not the only factor in fighting fires and therefore we cannot guarantee that our product will always be able to protect life and property. Any failure to do so could have an adverse effect on our business.

The product we manufacture may be used in applications and situations that involve high levels of risk of personal injury. Failure to use our product for its intended purpose, failure to use our product properly or the malfunction of our product could result in serious bodily injury or death of the user. In such cases, we may be subject to product liability claims arising from the design, manufacture or sale of our product. If these claims are decided against us, and we are found to be liable, we may be required to pay substantial damages, and our insurance costs may increase significantly as a result. We cannot assure you that our indemnity and insurance coverage would be sufficient to cover the payment of any potential claim. In addition, we cannot assure you that this or any other indemnity or insurance coverage will continue to be available or, if available, that we will be able to obtain insurance at a reasonable cost. Any material uninsured loss could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Our product is subject to extensive government scrutiny and regulations, including the EPA. There can be no assurance that such regulations will not change and that our product will continue to be approved for usage.***

We are subject to regulations by federal government authorities. We need to pass the EPA audit process every three years, which is a rigorous process that requires the product passing several tests and standards, including toxicity, corrosion and stability. We are also subject to ongoing reviews of our product, manufacturing processes and facilities by government authorities, and such agencies may at times be involved in challenges by outside groups, and as a result, the Company may be required to produce product data and comply with detailed regulatory requirements.

The Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act modified the Toxic Control Substances Act ("TSCA"), by requiring the EPA, to prioritize and evaluate the environmental and health risks of existing chemicals and provided the EPA with greater authority to regulate chemicals posing unreasonable risks. According to this statute, the EPA is required to make an affirmative finding that a new chemical will not pose an unreasonable risk before such chemical can go into production. These laws and regulations increase the complexity and costs of transporting our product to our customers. Further changes to these and similar regulations could restrict our ability to expand, build or acquire new facilities, require us to acquire costly control equipment, cause us to incur expenses associated with remediation of contamination, cause us to modify our manufacturing or shipping processes or otherwise increase our cost of doing business and have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the adoption of new laws, rules or regulations related to climate change poses risks that could harm our results of operations or affect the way we conduct our businesses. For example, new or modified regulations could require us to make substantial expenditures to enhance our environmental compliance efforts. New or stricter laws and regulations may be introduced that could result in additional compliance costs and prevent or inhibit the development, manufacture, distribution and sale of our product. Such outcomes could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Our product or facility could have environmental impacts and side effects.***

If the product we sell does not have the intended effects, our business may suffer and it may be subject to product liability or other legal actions. Our product contains innovative combinations of materials. We have received third-party testing demonstrating the reduced toxicity and flammability of our product, however, this is limited in scope and therefore, does not present all the potential side effects and/or the product's interaction with animal biochemistry. In a UL GreenGuard Certification Program Profile Study Test Report dated June 21, 2022, UL determined that our product contained less than 0.001 parts per million of formaldehyde and total aldehydes. As a result, while our product could have minimal impact on the environment, the scope of that impact is currently unknown.

***Legal and regulatory claims, investigations and proceedings may be initiated against us in the ordinary course of business. The outcomes and the amounts of any damages awarded, or fines or penalties assessed, cannot be predicted, and could have a material adverse effect on our reputation as well as our business, financial condition and results of operations.***

We may be the subject of litigation by customers, suppliers and other third parties. A significant judgment against us, the loss of a significant permit, license or other approval, or a significant fine, penalty or contractual dispute could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Litigation is expensive, time consuming and may divert management's attention away from the operation of the business. The outcome of litigation can never be predicted with certainty and an adverse outcome in any of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our reputation as well as our business, financial condition and results of operations.

**<u>Risks Relating to Our Indebtedness</u>**

***We are highly leveraged.***

As of March 31, 2025, our outstanding indebtedness was $6,509,371. This indebtedness includes: (i) principal amount of $3,371,000 ($541,905, net of discount of $2,829,095) incurred in connection with convertible notes issued during July 2024 to February 2025; (ii) a $2,576,693 ($783,456, net of discount of $1,793,237) convertible note issued to related parties; (iii) $31,206 was for accrued interest related parties; and (iv) $530,472 recorded as accounts payable.

The material terms of the convertible notes issued during July 2024 to February 2025, giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split are: (i) a 12-month maturity; (ii) 10% interest per annum, capitalized on the maturity date; (iii) conversion rights in the amount of the principal, divided by a fixed conversion rate of 2.40; and (iv) warrant coverage at the rate of 0.20834 shares of Common Stock for each dollar of principal, at an exercise price of $3.00 per share.

The convertible note to a related party was issued on December 31, 2024, in exchange for amounts due to TC Special Investments, LLC and the sole owner of TC Special Investments LLC, Mr. Theodore Ralston. The material terms of this convertible note, giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split are: (i) a 12-month maturity; (ii) 10% interest per annum; and (iii) conversion rights assuming a conversion rate of 2.16. The convertible note to a related party was issued in February 2025 to BoltRock Holding LLC. The material terms of this convertible note, giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split are: (i) a 12-month maturity; (ii) 10% interest per annum, capitalized on the maturity date; (iii) conversion rights in the amount of the principal, divided by a fixed conversion rate of 2.40; and (iv) warrant coverage at the rate of 0.20834 shares of Common Stock for each dollar of principal, at an exercise price of $3.00 per share.

Our leverage could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations, limit our ability to react to changes in the economy or our industries, expose us to interest rate risk to the extent of our variable rate debt and prevent us from meeting our obligations. This degree of leverage could have significant consequences, including:

● requiring a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest our indebtedness, thereby reducing our ability to use our cash flow to fund our operations, capital expenditures, and future business opportunities;

● limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisitions, and general corporate or other purposes; and

● limiting our ability to adjust to changing market conditions and placing us at a disadvantage compared to our nearest market competitor.

***We could incur additional indebtedness in the future. If new indebtedness is added to our current debt levels, the related risks we now face could increase.***

If due to such a deterioration in our financial performance, our cash flows and capital resources were to be insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. In addition, if we were required to raise additional capital in the current financial markets, the terms of such financing, if available, could result in higher costs and greater restrictions on our business. If we were to need to refinance our existing indebtedness, the conditions in the financial markets at that time could make it difficult to refinance our existing indebtedness on acceptable terms or at all. If such alternative measures proved unsuccessful, we could face substantial liquidity problems.

**<u>General Business Risks</u>**

***We will be increasingly dependent on information technology, and our systems and infrastructure face certain risks, including cybersecurity and data leakage risks.***

Significant disruptions to our information technology systems or breaches of information security could adversely affect our business. In the ordinary course of business, we will collect, store and transmit confidential information, and it is critical that we do so in a secure manner to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of such information. The size and complexity of our information technology systems, and those of third-party vendors, make such systems potentially vulnerable to service interruptions and security breaches from inadvertent or intentional actions by our employees, partners or vendors. These systems are also vulnerable to attacks by malicious third parties and may be susceptible to intentional or accidental physical damage to the infrastructure maintained by us or by third parties. Maintaining the secrecy of confidential, proprietary and/or trade secret information is important to our competitive business position. While we have taken steps to protect such information and have invested in systems and infrastructures to do so, there can be no guarantee that our efforts will prevent service interruptions or security breaches in our systems or the unauthorized or inadvertent wrongful use or disclosure of confidential information that could adversely affect our business operations or result in the loss, dissemination or misuse of critical or sensitive information. The increasing sophistication and frequency of cybersecurity threats, including targeted data breaches, ransomware attacks designed to encrypt our data for ransom and other malicious cyber activities, pose a significant risk to the integrity and confidentiality of our data systems. A breach of our security measures or the accidental loss, inadvertent disclosure, unapproved dissemination, misappropriation or misuse of trade secrets, proprietary information or other confidential information, whether as a result of theft, hacking, fraud, trickery or other forms of deception, or for any other cause, could enable others to produce competing products, use our proprietary technology or information, and/or adversely affect our business position. Further, any such interruption, security breach, loss or disclosure of confidential information could result in financial, legal, business and reputational harm to us and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flow.

***We could become subject to litigation that could be costly, result in the diversion of management's time and efforts, require us to pay damages, and/or prevent us from developing or marketing our existing product or future products.***

Our commercial success will depend in part on not having any adverse environmental claims, whether relating to product failure, violating the rights of third parties or violating applicable law. Any litigation or claim against us, even those without merit, may cause us to incur substantial costs, and could place a significant strain on our financial resources, divert the attention of management from our core business, and harm our reputation. Further, as the number of participants in the environmental industry grows, the possibility of claims against us increases. If we are found to violate applicable law or the rights of third parties, we could be required to pay substantial damages, including treble, or triple, damages if an infringement is found to be willful, and/or royalties and could be prevented from selling our product.

***We could become subject to patent litigation that could be costly, result in the diversion of management's time and efforts, require us to pay damages, and/or prevent us from developing or marketing our existing product or future products.***

Our commercial success will depend in part on not infringing the patents or violating the other proprietary rights of third parties. Any litigation or claim against us, even those without merit, may cause us to incur substantial costs, and could place a significant strain on our financial resources, divert the attention of management from our core business, and harm our reputation. Further, as the number of participants in the environmental industry grows, the possibility of intellectual property infringement claims against us increases. If we are found to infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties, we could be required to pay substantial damages, including treble, or triple, damages if an infringement is found to be willful, and/or royalties and could be prevented from selling our product unless we obtain a license or are able to redesign our product to avoid infringement. Any such license may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all, and there can be no assurance that we would be able to redesign our product in a way that would not infringe the intellectual property rights of others. If we fail to obtain any required licenses or make any necessary changes to our product or technologies, we may have to withdraw our existing product from the market or may be unable to commercialize one or more of our future products, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. If passed into law, patent reform legislation currently pending in the U.S. Congress could significantly change the risks associated with bringing or defending a patent infringement lawsuit. For example, fee shifting legislation could require a non-prevailing party to pay the attorney fees of the prevailing party in some circumstances.

***Our operating results and stock price may be volatile, and the market price of our Common Stock after this offering may drop below the price you pay.***

Our quarterly operating results are likely to fluctuate in the future. In addition, securities markets worldwide have experienced, and are likely to continue to experience, significant price and volume fluctuations. This market volatility, as well as general economic, market or political conditions, could subject the market price of our shares to wide price fluctuations regardless of our operating performance. Our operating results and the trading price of our shares may fluctuate in response to various factors, including:

● market conditions in our industry or the broader stock market;

● actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial and operating results;

● issuance of new or changed securities analysts' reports or recommendations;

● sales, or anticipated sales, of large blocks of our stock;

● additions or departures of key personnel;

● regulatory or political developments;

● litigation, litigation-related indemnification and governmental investigations;

● investors' perception of us;

● events beyond our control, such as weather and war; and

● any default on our indebtedness.

---

These and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, may cause our operating results and the market price and demand for our shares to fluctuate substantially. Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results could limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares and may otherwise negatively affect the market price and liquidity of our shares. In addition, in the past, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have sometimes instituted securities class action litigation against the company that issued the stock. If any of our stockholders brought a lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit. Such a lawsuit could also divert the time and attention of our management away from our business, which could significantly harm our profitability and reputation.

***The availability of shares for sale in the future could reduce the market price of our Common Stock.***

In the future, we may issue securities to raise cash for acquisitions or otherwise. We may also acquire interests in other companies by using a combination of cash and Common Stock or just Common Stock. We may also issue securities convertible into our Common Stock. Any of these events may dilute your ownership interest in our Company and adversely impact our Common Stock's price.

Also, sales of a substantial amount of our Common Stock in the public market or the perception that these sales may occur could reduce our Common Stock's market price and impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of our securities.

***Our corporate organizational documents and provisions of state law to which we are subject will contain certain provisions that could have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, make more difficult, or prevent an attempted acquisition that you may favor or an attempted replacement of our board of directors or management.***

In connection with this offering, we will amend and restate our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, and following completion of this offering, our Board of Directors will be divided into three classes of directors, with the classes as nearly equal in number as possible. Our governing documents will have anti-takeover effects and may delay, discourage, or prevent an attempted acquisition or change of control or a replacement of our incumbent board of directors or management. Our governing documents will include provisions that:

● authorize our board of directors, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 30,000, 0000 shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series, and with respect to each series, to fix the number of shares constituting that series, the powers, rights, and preferences of the shares of that series, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of that series;

● specify that special meetings of our stockholders can be called only by our Board of Directors, the chairman of our Board of Directors, our president, or holders of a majority of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of our capital stock;

● provide that our Bylaws may be amended by our board of directors without stockholder approval;

● provide that no director may be removed when the votes cast against removal would be sufficient to elect such director if voted cumulatively at an election at which the same total number of votes were cast;

● provide that the Board of Directors is divided into three classes. The members of each class are elected for a term of three years and only one class of directors is elected annually. Thus, it would generally take at least two annual elections to replace a majority of the board of directors;

● provide that vacancies on our board of directors or newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of our directors may be filled only by a vote of a majority of directors then in office, or, if the number of directors then in office is less than a quorum, by (1) the unanimous written consent of the directors then in office, (2) the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, or (3) a sole remaining director;

● provide that, subject to the express rights, if any, of the holders of any series of preferred stock, any amendment, modification, or repeal of, or the adoption of any new or additional provision, inconsistent with our Articles of Incorporation provisions relating to the removal of directors and the vote of our stockholders required to amend our Bylaws, requires the affirmative vote of the holders of majority of the voting power of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors;

● provide that the stockholders may amend, modify, or repeal our Bylaws, or adopt new or additional provisions of our Bylaws, only with the affirmative vote of majority of the voting power of our capital stock entitled to vote generally; and

● establish advance notice procedures for stockholders to submit nominations of candidates for election to our board of directors and other proposals to be brought before a stockholders meeting.

In addition, certain provisions of Wyoming law, including a provision which restricts certain business combinations between a Wyoming corporation and certain affiliated shareholders, may delay, discourage, or prevent an attempted acquisition or change in control.

***The indemnification provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws under Wyoming law may result in substantial expenditures by our Company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers, and employees.***

As permitted by Wyoming law, our Articles of Incorporation provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers against expenses and liabilities they incur to defend, settle or satisfy any civil or criminal action brought against them on account of their being or having been directors or officers of us, unless, in any such action, they are adjudged to have acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under our agreements with our directors, officers, and employees. These indemnification obligations could result in our Company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors, officers, and employees that we may not recoup.

Pursuant to the laws of the State of Wyoming, our Articles of Incorporation exclude personal liability for its directors for monetary damages based upon any violation of their fiduciary duties as directors, except as to liability for any breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, acts in violation of the Wyoming Business Corporation Act, or any transaction from which a director receives an improper personal benefit.

This exclusion of liability does not limit any right, which a director may have to be indemnified, and does not affect any director's liability under federal or applicable state securities laws.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to provisions of the State of Wyoming, the Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

***We are classified as a "smaller reporting company," and we cannot be sure if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies will make our Common Stock less attractive to investors.***

We are currently a "smaller reporting company." Specifically, smaller reporting companies may provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; 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 have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings. Reduced disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as a "smaller reporting company" may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.

***Because directors and officers currently and for the foreseeable future will continue to control the Company, you will not likely be able to elect directors or have any say in the Company's policies.***

Our stockholders are not entitled to cumulative voting rights. Consequently, a majority vote will decide the election of directors and all other matters requiring stockholder approval. As long as the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the preferred stock will have voting rights representing 1,000 votes for each share of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Theodore Ralston, who is our President, Chief Executive officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, holds 1,364,141 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and has voting control of the Company. Mr. Theodore Ralston holds 1,364,141 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, and as such Mr. Ralston controls approximately 81.4% of the vote prior to the consummation of the offering and the ability to control all other matters requiring the approval of our stockholders, including the election of all of our directors.

***We do not expect to pay dividends in the future; any return on investment may be limited to our Common Stock's value.***

We do not currently anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our Common Stock will depend on earnings, financial condition, and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the Board of Directors may consider relevant. Our current intention is to apply net earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increase our capital base and development and marketing efforts.

There can be no assurance that we will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and pay dividends to the holders of our Common Stock, and in any event, a decision to declare and pay dividends is at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors. If we do not pay dividends, our Common Stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

***Because our Company has anti-takeover mechanisms through the issuance of our Series A Preferred Stock, which votes with the Common Stock together as a single class, this preference could have a negative impact on other stockholders in voting on matters of the Company.***

Our stockholders are not entitled to cumulative voting rights. Consequently, a majority vote will decide the election of directors and all other matters requiring stockholder approval. As long as the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the preferred stock will have voting rights representing 1,000 votes for each share of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Theodore Ralston, who is our President, Chief Executive officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, controls a super-majority of the outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and will continue to have, voting control of the Company. Mr. Ralston has the ability to influence significantly all matters requiring approval by our stockholders. Mr. Ralston may have interests that differ from other stockholders, and they may vote in a way with which other stockholders disagree and either or both may be adverse in the future to the interests of other stockholders. The concentration of ownership of our voting securities may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change of control of our Company, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their securities as part of a sale of our Company.

***Our Series A Preferred Stock may lead to conflicts of interest and could negatively impact the price of our securities.***

Except as otherwise required by law or by the Articles of Incorporation and except as set forth below, the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the shares of Common Stock and other voting securities of the Company as a single class. Mr. Ralston, our President, Chief Executive officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, owns 1,364,141 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and will continue to have voting control of the Company and the ability to influence significantly all matters requiring approval by our stockholders. Mr. Ralston may have interests that differ from other stockholders, and may vote in a way with which other stockholders disagree and either or both may be adverse in the future to the interests of other stockholders. The concentration of ownership of our voting securities may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change of control of our Company, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their securities as part of a sale of our Company, and consequently may affect the market price of our Common Stock. This concentration of ownership of our voting securities may also have the effect of influencing the completion of a change in control that may not necessarily be in the best interests of all of our stockholders. Also, the voting power of our Series A Preferred Stock means that Mr. Ralston will continue to control who is elected to serve on the Board of Directors, and other stockholders will have no say in the Company's policies.

(1) The capitalization information above is illustrative only and will be further adjusted based on the actual public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing. The number of common shares to be outstanding immediately after this offering is based on the assumed issuance of 1,500,000 common shares in this offering and does not include (i) up to 225,000 common shares issuable upon the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional common shares from us based upon an assumed offer and sale of 1,500,000 common shares at an assumed public offering price of $8.00 per share (which is the midpoint of the range of $7.00 to $9.00 per share); and (ii) up to an aggregate of 86,250 common shares underlying the Representative's Warrants to be issued to the Representative in connection with this offering (assuming the underwriters exercise the over-allotment option in full).

**DILUTION**

If you invest in our Common Stock, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the assumed public offering price of $8.00 per share, which is the midpoint of the range of $7.00 to $9.00 per share (after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split) that you pay and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock after this offering. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing our total tangible assets less our total liabilities by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Our historical net tangible book value as of March 31, 2025, was $454,138 or $0.01 per share, based on 52,378,201 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2025. The pro forma net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets as adjusted to take into account the Reverse Stock Split, (i) the conversion of 532,638 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock into 1,775,459 shares of Common Stock, (ii) the issuance of 1,667 shares of Common Stock, and (iii) the issuance of 585,004 shares of Common Stock for conversion of debt, prior to consummation of this offering. After giving effect to such transactions, our pro forma net tangible book value as of March 31, 2025 would have been approximately $2,354,186, or $0.21 per share.

Dilution represents the difference between the amount per share paid by new investors who purchase shares from us in this offering and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of Common Stock immediately after completion of this Offering. After giving effect to the transactions referred to above and the sale of 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock in this offering at a assumed public offering price of $8.00 per share, which is the midpoint of the range of $7.00 to $9.00 per share (after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split) and deducting the underwriting fees and discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2025 would have been $12,558,386 or $1.00 per share. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $0.79 per share to existing stockholders, and an immediate dilution in pro forma net tangible book value of $7.00 per share to new investors purchasing shares in this offering. The table below illustrates this per share dilution as of March 31, 2025.

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| Assumed public offering price per ordinary share |  | $8.00 |
| Pro forma net tangible book value per share of common stock before this offering as of March 31, 2025 | $0.21 |  |
| Increase in pro forma net tangible book value per share of common stock attributable to purchasers in this offering | $0.79 |  |
| Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of common stock immediately after this offering |  | $1.00 |
| Dilution to pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of common stock to purchasers in this offering |  | $7.00 |

---

The dilution information discussed above is illustrative only and may change based on the actual public offering price and other terms of this offering.

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of $8.00 per share (which is the midpoint of the range of $7.00 to $9.00 per share) would increase (decrease) our pro forma, as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering and dilution per share to investors purchasing Common Stock in this offering by $0.89 and ($0.89), respectively, assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

If the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase up to 225,000 shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments, if any, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering would be $1.11 per share, representing an immediate increase to existing stockholders of $0.90 per share and immediate dilution to new investors participating in this offering of $6.89 per share, assuming that the public offering price remains the same, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

The following table sets forth, on a pro forma as adjusted basis as of March 31, 2025, the number of shares of Common Stock purchased or to be purchased from us, the total consideration paid or to be paid and the average price per share paid or to be paid by existing holders of Common Stock and by new investors, at an assumed public offering price of $8.00 per share (which is the midpoint of the range of $7.00 to $9.00 per share), before deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us.

|  | Number | Percent | Amount | Percent | Share |
| Existing stockholders | 11091831 | 88.1% | $3512600 | 22.6% | $0.32 |
| Purchasers in this offering | 1500000 | 11.9% | 12000000 | 77.4% | 8.00 |
| Total | 12591831 | 100.0% | $15512600 | 100.0% | $1.23 |

---

If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock in full, the number of shares of Common Stock held by existing stockholders will be reduced to 1.7% of the total number of shares of Common Stock to be outstanding after this offering, and the number of shares of Common Stock held by investors participating in this offering will be further increased to 1.7% of the total number of shares of Common Stock to be outstanding after this offering, based on all of the assumptions described above in this section.

To the extent any outstanding securities are exercised or converted or to the extent that we issue new securities which result in the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock, new investors would experience further dilution.

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

*The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. See "Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements." Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors discussed in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus.*

**Overview**

The Company was originally incorporated in Nevada on March 14, 1990. Our offices are located at 1740H Del Range Blvd, Suite 166, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82009. Our telephone number is (800) 401-4535, and our email address is welcome@generalenterpriseventures.com. Our websites are www.generalenterpriseventures.com and www.mightyfirebreaker.com. We do not incorporate the information on or accessible through our website into this Registration Statement, and you should not consider any information on, or that can be accessed through, our website a part of this Registration Statement.

We are an environmentally sustainable fire retardant and fire suppression company throughout the United States. Management is highly experienced at business integration and re-branding potential. Our brand will be unique as we focus on markets in need of development.

We operate one line of business, which is sales and services relating to the CitroTech flame retardant and flame suppression product. Since MFB Ohio acquired the MFP portfolio of intellectual property on April 13, 2022, MFB currently holds 31 granted patents and has 56 pending patent applications in and for the flame retardant and flame suppression industry. Our fire retardant and fire suppression product helps slow, stop and prevent wildfires. This product is typically applied ahead of an active wildfire to stop or slow its spread. Our product is differentiated by a high level of retardant and suppression effectiveness. While fire retardant is primarily used to stop or slow the spread of wildfires, our product is also utilized in a fire preventative capacity. Since the wildfires in Los Angeles, California during January 2025, western U.S. states are becoming diligent in wildfire prevention efforts and increasing investments to prevent wildfire risk.

Our management is comprised of four individuals: Theodore Ralston, who is our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors; Nanuk Warman, who is out Secretary and Chief Financial Officer; Stephen Conboy, who is our Chief Technology Officer; and Anthony Newton, who is our General Counsel. Mr. Ralston has approximately 85% of the voting power through his ownership of Series A Preferred Stock with super voting rights to control the vote on substantially all corporate matters.

**Known Trends and Uncertainties**

***Growth in Fire Safety***

We believe that fire safety benefits from several growth drivers, including increasing fire severity, as measured by higher acres burned, longer fire seasons and a growing urban component, resulting in a need for higher quantity of fire retardant and fire suppression use per acre, thereby increasing production. We believe these trends are prevalent in North America, as well as globally and we expect these trends to continue and drive growth in demand for fire retardant and fire suppression products.

We are working to grow our fire prevention and protection business, which is primarily focused on expanding use of ground-applications for long-term fire retardant. This growth includes use of ground assets in response to active fires (protection), as well as proactive treatments around critical infrastructure and known high-risk areas (prevention). Fire prevention products can be used to prevent fire ignitions and protect property from potential fire danger by providing proactive retardant treatment in high-risk areas such as residential neighborhoods and commercial infrastructure. Treating these areas ahead of the fire season can potentially stop ignitions from equipment failures or sparks. Although there is no certainty in wildfire defense, when our system is installed we fill it with our CitroTech product. Thereafter, we will conduct an annual inspection of the system to help ensure it is ready to defend against a wildfire. While there is no specific useful life for our product, if the system has not been deployed since the third anniversary of the initial installation, or three years following an annual inspection, in an abundance of caution we will remove and replace the CitroTech to increase its effectiveness. In addition, we suggest spraying CitroTech in areas surrounding the property that pose the greatest risk (at least twice during the months of June, July and August) to help reduce the risk posed by dry vegetation, patio covers, decks, garden bark, and fences.

We have invested and intend to continue investing in the expansion of our fire retardant and fire suppression business through product development and business development to grow our customer base.

***Weather Conditions and Climate Trends***

Our business is highly dependent on the needs of residential homeowners and fire departments to prevent and suppress fires. As such, our financial condition and results of operations are significantly impacted by weather as well as environmental and other factors affecting climate change, which impact the number and severity of fires in any given year. Typically, sales of our product is higher during the summer months in the United States of America due to weather patterns that are generally correlated to a higher prevalence of wildfires. We believe, however, that due to the effect of the wildfires in Los Angeles, California during January 2025, and the more common wildfire season during the summer months that product orders will continue at the current rate throughout calendar year 2025.

**Results of Operations**

The Company is developing and commercializing their product lines. The Company has been focused historically on obtaining patents and various accreditations. To date, the Company does not have a large customer base, having relied heavily on a few customers, for the commercialization and testing of our CitroTech product and delivery system. The Company currently does not have an established retail product line nor recurring significant customer base. Therefore, period over period comparisons of our results of operations are not indicative of future results.

The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and our unaudited interim financial statements for the three month ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, which are included herein. The following summary of our results of operations gives effect for the Reverse Stock Split, where applicable.

In addition to TCSI, stock-based compensation was remitted to certain individuals with fire retardant and flame suppression industry experience, who provided guidance and insight to the Company's management and Board of Directors with respect to the fire retardant and flame suppression industry, business development connections, and oversight during the testing and recognition processes.

***Other Expenses***

For the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the other expenses consisted of $258,000 and $4,000 interest related to convertible notes payable issued in 2024, respectively, change in fair value of derivative liability related to convertible notes payable issued in 2024 of $410,000 and $0, respectively, and loss on settlement of notes payable and convertible note issued in 2022 of $909,000 and $0, respectively.

***Net loss***

The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2024, decreased by approximately $3.2 million as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily due to the decrease in operating expenses, primarily from stock-based professional fees, partially offset by an increase in other expenses.

As of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and 2023, the current liabilities consisted of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $530,000, $187,000 and $55,000, respectively, due to related parties of $0, $0 and $1.3 million, respectively, promissory note of $0, $0 and $120,000, respectively, convertible notes net of discount of $542,000, $196,000 and $54,000, respectively, convertible note – related party of $783,000, $577,000 and $0, respectively, financing loan of $0, $97,000 and $0, respectively, derivative liability of $2.9 million, $1.1 million, and $0, respectively, and current portion of operating lease liability of $29,000, $50,000 and $80,000, respectively.

*2025 versus 2024*

The increase in working capital in 2025 was primarily due to an increase in cash and accounts receivable offset by an increase in the convertible notes and derivative liability related to convertible notes. The Company had net loss and negative cash flows from our operations. In 2025, the Company generated funds from more debt financing than equity financing, however, the carrying value of convertible notes included an unamortized debt discount of $4.6 million. Considering this unamortized discount, the Company still had capital deficiency of $4.6 million as of March 31, 2025.

2024 versus 2023

The increase in working capital deficiency in 2024 was primarily due to the convertible notes and derivative liability related to convertible notes. The Company had net loss and negative cash flows from our operations. In 2024, the Company generated funds from more debt financing than equity financing, therefore, current liabilities increased more than current assets.

**Going Concern**

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared (i) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and (ii) assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant income to date. The Company is subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with a business with no substantive revenue, as well as limitations on its operating capital resources. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. In light of these matters, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's ability to raise capital and generate revenue and profits in the future.

**Contingencies**

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. In consultation with its legal counsel as appropriate, our management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against us or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, we, in consultation with legal counsel, evaluate the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in our financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is likely, but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"), which require management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We believe our most critical accounting estimates relate to the following:

· Incremental borrowing rate for Right of Use Assets

· Fair Value of Convertible Notes

· Fair Value of Warrants to Purchase Common Stock

While our estimates and assumptions are based on our knowledge of current events and on actions we may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates and assumptions. For a discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies, refer to Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

*Incremental borrowing rate for Right of Use Assets*

As the Company's operating leases typically do not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate. The assessment of the Company's incremental borrowing rate involves judgment regarding the cost of borrowing funds on a collateralized basis over a similar term and in a similar economic environment.

*Fair Value of Convertible Notes*

The Company determined that the conversion feature, embedded in the convertible notes, met the definition of a liability in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815-40, *Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Stock* and therefore bifurcated the embedded conversion option once the note become convertible and accounted for it as a derivative liability. The fair value of the conversion feature was recorded as a debt discount and "day 1" derivative loss for the excess amount of debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the term of the note.

For the conversion feature classified as a liability, the Company uses a Binomial Lattice valuation model to value the derivative instrument at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The use of this valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions. Any change to these inputs could produce significantly higher or lower fair value measurements.

The underlying assumptions of the Binomial Lattice model are as follows:

1. The short-term interest rates, including risk-free rate, are known and remain constant over time.

2. The absence of any arbitrage opportunities is assumed.

3. The stock price follows a continuous-time random walk, with the rate of variance proportional to the square of the stock price.

4. The distribution of possible stock prices at the end of any given finite interval is assumed to be lognormal.

5. The variance of the rate of return on the stock is constant.

6. No commissions or transaction costs are incurred when buying or selling the stock or option.

7. The option's early exercise value is evaluated at each node of the lattice.

8. If applicable, the tax rate remains consistent for all transactions and market participants.

For the automatic conversion feature the average timing and average price at automatic conversion were calculated utilizing an independent Monte Carlo Simulation. The Monte Carlo Simulation utilized the same inputs as the Binomial Lattice Model. Once determined, the average automatic conversion price and timing were incorporated into the Bionomical Lattice Model.

The use of Monte Carlo and Binomial Lattice valuation models require key inputs, some of which are based on estimates and judgements by management. Any change to these key inputs could produce significantly higher or lower fair value measurements.

*Fair Value of Warrants to Purchase Common Stock*

The Company has issued warrants to investors in our debt offerings.

We evaluate all warrants issued to determine the appropriate classification under ASC 480 and ASC 815. In addition to determining classification, we evaluate these instruments to determine if such instruments meet the definition of a derivative.

For warrants that are determined to be equity-classified, we estimate the fair value at issuance and record the amounts to additional paid in capital (potentially on a relative fair value basis if issued in a basket transaction with other financial instruments). Warrants that are equity-classified are not subsequently remeasured unless modified or required to be reclassified as liabilities. The classification of all outstanding warrants, including whether such instruments should be recorded as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.

The warrants are valued using a Black Scholes valuation model. The use of this valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions. Any change to these inputs could produce significantly higher or lower fair value measurements.

**Off-balance sheet arrangements**

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

**BUSINESS**

**Our Business**

General Enterprise Ventures, Inc., ("GEVI," "we," "us," or the "Company") was originally incorporated in Nevada on March 14, 1990. Our offices are located at 1740H Del Range Blvd, Suite 166, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82009. Our telephone number is (800) 401-4535, and our email address is welcome@generalenterpriseventures.com. Our websites are www.generalenterpriseventures.com and www.mightyfirebreaker.com. We do not incorporate the information on or accessible through our website into this Registration Statement, and you should not consider any information on, or that can be accessed through, our website a part of this Registration Statement.

We are an environmentally sustainable flame retardant and flame suppression company for the residential home industry throughout the United States and Canada markets. Since MFB Ohio acquired the MFB portfolio of intellectual property on April 13, 2022. Steve Conboy, who founded MFB, has been in the lumber business for over 30 years. Approximately 10 years ago, he realized that residential and commercial fires, as well as wildfires, would not cease for the foreseeable future. Mr. Conboy understood that, even if lumber was treated, it was toxic by nature and this toxicity Is harmful to humans and the environment. He realized that there was a market, and most importantly a need, for a product that was capable of fire suppression and being a fire retardant while also being the safest for the environment and for human beings.

Mr. Conboy set out to develop a formula for a product that would meet these requirements. During the course of research and development, Mr. Conboy formed MFB and contributed numerous patents toward development of the green product line that was envisioned many years ago. That product is CitroTech. Since MFB Ohio acquired the MFB portfolio of intellectual property, Company management has continued to develop many formulations to achieve the vision. In addition, the Company has been recognized and certified for their achievement. These recognitions and achievements include twice receiving the EPA Safer Choice award and being the first and only EPA recognized fire retardant (safe for the environment), being awarded UL GreenGuard Gold status (demonstrates minimal impact on the indoor environment in the long period), other accreditations, and adoption by fire departments throughout the State of California.

After the Company's acquisition of the technology, the patent portfolio and technology will be expanded into areas that benefit from an environmentally safe product disrupting a market previously thought of as toxic and carcinogenic. MFB has developed and is in the initial phases of marketing wood coatings using its safe, environmentally friendly technology. MFB is also currently deploying Proactive Wildfire Defense Systems on residential and commercial properties. MFB installs self-contained sprinkler systems utilizing its patented CitroTech product that are proactively deployed in advance of wildfires thereby reducing the risk to the structures protected by the systems. Wildfire insurance is a significant problem in eleven western states. MFB is working with insurance companies to reduce the risk and allow properties to be insured in the Wilderness Urban Interface, a zone of transition between wilderness and developed land where built environment meets natural environment at greater risk of catastrophic wildfire. There is a wildfire base insurance shortage in 11 western states. In those states, policies are not being written on new construction or renewal of existing policies (resulting in cancelation of current polices). MFB is working with a large insurance broker to offer insurance to our customers when installing an MFB proactive wildfire defense system. The insurance policies are being underwritten by large name insurance companies. MFB is now in the proof of concept phase and developing revenues in the various markets.

Our management is comprised of four individuals: Theodore Ralston, who is our President, Chief Executive officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors; Nanuk Warman, who is our Secretary and Chief Financial Officer; Stephen Conboy, who is our Chief Technology Officer; and Anthony Newton, who is our General Counsel. Mr. Ralston has approximately 85% of the voting power through his ownership of Series A Preferred Stock with super voting rights to control the vote on substantially all corporate matters.

**Financial Performance to Date**

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, we had revenue of $969,382 and $808,372, respectively. We believe, that due to the effect of the wildfires in Los Angeles during January 2025, and the more common wildfire season during the summer months that our product orders will continue at the current rate throughout the calendar year 2025. We do not anticipate a material increase to our sales, general and administrative expense during 2025. We believe that the proceeds from this offering will also enable us to expand sales and business development efforts to further increase product orders subsequent to calendar year 2025. Therefore, the Company does not anticipate being dependent upon additional capital in the form of either debt or equity to continue our operations and expand our product to new markets.

**Business Model**

***Principal product, services and markets***

We hold various intellectual property in the form of patents and trademarks related to fire suppression, mapping and tracking of fire retardant dispersion and fire inhibition chemistry and technology. We have obtained multiple certifications and accreditations in this industry for our CitroTech product. We have received the EPA Safer Choice award twice and have been awarded the UL GreenGuard Gold status (demonstrates minimal impact on the indoor environment in the long period).

Future Markets Insights, a market researcher in Pimpri-Chinchwad, India, projects that the fire-retardant market is forecast to be $13.6 billion dollars globally by 2034. MFB Ohio markets its product primarily to home, industrial and commercial users, as well as fire departments.

***Distribution methods***

CitroTech is blended in Oceanside, California according to the formulas developed by Mr. Conboy, under his supervision, whereafter the product is either shipped directly to customers or delivered to 12 regional retailers for direct sales to smaller consumers.

***Competitive business conditions and the Company's competitive position in the industry***

The fire retardant market has been status quo for many years without significant innovation. A study at the University of Southern California published in Environmental Science and Technology explained that the fire retardant industry is known for having products containing toxic metals that are not environmentally safe, and are considered not friendly toward humans, wildlife, fish, water, and plants. Our CitroTech is an all-green fire retardant. We believe that our product will be sold at amounts that can be competitive in many markets, including Western States where wildfires occur, and areas of the United States where there is new home construction relating to population growth, such as Florida and Texas. Our industry is evolving rapidly and is becoming increasingly competitive. Competitors, such as Perimeter Solutions, SA, have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. Competitors, such as Perimeter Solutions, SA, have adopted, and may continue to adopt, aggressive pricing policies and devote substantially more resources to marketing, website and systems development than we do.

***Patents, trademarks and licenses and their duration***

We currently hold 31 granted patents, including the main chemistry and applications, and 56 pending patent applications. We also hold 21 trademarks and various copyrights.

| TOTAL PENDING US AND FOREIGN TRADEMARK APPLICATIONS: 12 |
| LIST OF TERMS USED IN PATENT AND TRADEMARK LAW AROUND THE WORLD: <br>(a) Most countries or geographical/political regions around the world have an intellectual property office (IPO) within its legal governmental framework, that administers its national and international laws relating to (i) patent-protectable subject matter covering useful/utility inventions and/or patent-protectable subject matter covering ornamental/industrial designs, and (ii) trademarks, servicemarks and/or tradename related subject matter.<br>(b) WIPO and WO are shorthand notation for the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO) https://www.wipo.int/portal/en/index.html ;<br>(c) the PCT is shorthand notation for Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) which is administered by WIPO; <br>(d) the EPC is shorthand notation for the European Patent Convention (EPC) which is administered by the European Patent Office (EPO) https://www.epo.org/en/legal/epc ;<br>(e) "Application Status" as used herein reflects the status of a filed patent application or trademark application, as the case may be; for a patent application that has been filed with a patent office, the patent application can have (at any instant in time) the status indicator of: (i) pending, which means it has been filed with the respective patent office and has been assigned a filing date and application number; (ii) granted, when the claims in the patent application have been examined by the patent office, and at one of the claims have been allowed to issue in the granted patent; or (iii) abandoned, when certain conditions in the patent application may not have been timely met in the patent office; for a trademark application that has been filed with a trademark office, the trademark application can have (at any instant in time) the status indicator of: (i) pending, which means the trademark application has been filed with the respective trademark office and has been assigned a filing date and application number; (ii) abandoned, when certain conditions in the trademark application may not have been timely met in the trademark office; (iii) registered when the claims in the trademark application have been published and examined by the trademark office, and at least one of the trademark claims have been allowed to be registered in the trademark office, and are ultimately registered in the trademark office; or (iii) canceled when certain trademark claims in the trademark registration have been re-examined by the trademark office, and canceled from the trademark register maintained by the trademark office; <br>(f) Most countries around the world support legal systems that offer (i) patent protection over useful inventions (i.e. the utilitarian features of useful inventions) by way of Utility-Type patents, and (ii) patent protection over ornamental inventions (i.e. the ornamental features of industrial and product designs) by way Design-Type patents. <br>(g) In utility-type patents, legal protection is determined by linguistic-based claims to invention that particularly and specifically define the inventor's right to exclude others from making, using and selling the utility-type invention, specified by the language recited in the claims. In contrast, with design-type patents, legal protection is determined by the lines used in the drawings of the design patent, which will typically include solid and dotted lines that particularly define the inventor's right to exclude others from making, using and selling the claimed design-type invention, specified by the lines shown in the drawings. <br>(h) All patents and patent applications listed herein are utility-type patents, as of June 24, 2025. Also, to help indicate the nature of these utility-type inventions being claimed in such pending patent applications or granted patents, six kinds or classes of subject matter covered by the claims of the utility-type patent (or patent application) are indexed herein, namely: Granted Chemical Composition; Granted Delivery Method; Granted Fire-Protected Product; Pending Chemical Composition; Pending Delivery Method; and Pending Fire-Protected Product; and<br>(i) The significance of a granted US Patent is that the allowed claims in granted US patent can be the legal basis for a cause of action in a patent infringement suit involving the granted US Patent, whereas the claims in a pending US Patent Application cannot be the legal basis for a cause of action in a patent infringement suit involving the pending US Patent Application; in the USA, patent infringement suits in the USA can only be based on granted US Patents that are maintained. |

***Need for government approval of principal product or services***

Use of our product on government land may require governmental permits and certifications from the EPA. We are in the process of determining the scope of any permit and certification requirements. Once completed, we will obtain the required permits and certificates.

***Effect of existing or probable government regulations on the business***

We track all proposed regulatory changes and make commercially reasonable efforts to comply in advance. We maintain an advisory board of retired high level fire officials that monitor such changes for the Company. We also retain legal counsel that is experienced in this regard.

***Cost and effects of compliance with environmental laws***

Expenses for initial permit and certification applications with the EPA have been paid. We expect the annual costs for EPA certifications to be not more than $10,000.

***Product Installation***

Residential product installation includes installing wildfire resistant vents, closing the underpinning of wooden decks (to help prevent dry vegetation from getting trapped underneath), and installing rooftop sprinkler systems. In the event of a fire, the system is activated, saturating the residence with CitroTech, which should then prevent combustion.

***<u>Competition</u>***

We do not believe that there is a primary wholesale or retail competitor for environmentally sustainable flame retardant and flame suppression products in the commercial and residential construction industry, or for sale to fire departments, because we believe that all other producers use toxic chemicals in their flame retardant and flame suppression products. Our closest market competitor, Perimeter Solutions, SA, engages in the fire safety and specialty product industries, which may have some market overlap with the Company; however, we believe this overlap in the flame retardant and flame suppression space is with toxic chemicals, whereas our product is environmentally sustainable and non-toxic. Furthermore, the Company does not believe there are competitors that provide environmentally sustainable flame retardant and flame suppression products for sale to fire departments.

The flame retardant and flame suppression markets in North America are rapidly expanding. Growing population density and the need for fire protection materials in structures and products fuels the market's growth, specifically in the U.S. and Canada. The U.S. flame retardant and flame suppression market is in gradual expansion due to increasing compliance standards. Changes in demographics, especially the urbanization process and infrastructural improvements, have made flame retardants and flame suppression more crucial in buildings. Therefore, we believe that the flame retardant and flame suppression markets in the United States and Canada are open to new non-toxic products and participants, and thus those markets are positive for entry by us.

**<u>Governmental Regulation</u>**

Our business is subject to regulations by the EPA, including standards for product descriptions, efficacy claims and label format.

Our product contain materials from multiple suppliers. Some of these entities must comply with federal and local environmental laws and regulations. The EPA regulates finished products by requiring disclosure of components and hazardous materials. The EPA can inspect our product and our producer's facility to determine the accuracy of the disclosures. State laws may also impose additional regulations on the use, preparation and storage of our products. We believe that our component providers are in compliance in all material respects with governmental regulations regarding our current product and have obtained governmental permits, licenses, qualifications and approvals required for our operations. Our supplier's compliance with federal, state and local environmental laws has not materially affected us either economically or in the manner in which we conduct our business.

However, there can be no assurance that our current or any future supplier will be able to comply with such laws and regulations in the future or that new governmental laws and regulations will not be introduced that could prevent or temporarily inhibit the development, distribution and sale of our product to end users.

New government laws and regulations may be introduced in the future that could result in additional compliance costs, seizures, confiscations, recalls or monetary fines, any of which could prevent or inhibit the development, distribution and sale of our product. If our supplier fails to comply with applicable laws and regulations, we may be subject to civil remedies, including fines, injunctions, recalls or seizures, as well as potential criminal sanctions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***Europe and Other Countries***

If we market our product in any countries other than the United States, we would be subject to the laws of those countries. To market our product in other countries we must comply with numerous and varying regulatory requirements of such countries regarding safety and efficacy and governing, among other things, and commercial sales, pricing and distribution of our product.

The European regulatory system is based on a network of about 50 regulatory authorities from the 31 countries in the European Economic Area and the European Commission. All products must be authorized before they can be placed on the market in the European Union. The European system offers different routes for authorization. A centralized procedure allows the marketing of a product on the basis of a single European Union assessment and marketing authorization which is valid throughout the European Union. However, a majority of products authorized in the European Union do not fall within the scope of the centralized procedure, and we do not know whether our product will fall within the centralized authorization. We also do not know how the withdrawal of Great Britain from the European Union will affect the procedure for approval of medicines in the United Kingdom. If we are not able to use the centralized procedure, we would need to use one of two procedures. One method is the decentralized procedure where we would apply for the simultaneous authorization in more than one European Union member. The second method is the mutual-recognition procedure where we would have a product authorized in one European Union country and then apply for authorization to be recognized in other European Union countries. In either case, we would be required to demonstrate and show and that the product is manufactured in accordance with good manufacturing practices based upon European Union standards.

In countries other than the United States, Canada and the European Union, we would be required to comply with the applicable laws of those countries.

Failure to obtain regulatory approval in any country would prevent our product candidates from being marketed in those countries. In order to market and sell our product in jurisdictions other than the United States and the European Union, we must obtain separate marketing approvals and comply with numerous and varying regulatory requirements.

If we are unable to obtain approval of our product candidates by regulatory authorities in other foreign jurisdictions, the commercial prospects of those product candidates may be significantly diminished and our business prospects could decline.

**<u>Facilities</u>**

Our Company owns no real property. Our principal office is located at 2170 Allentown Rd, Lima, OH 45808 which is commercial space under a one year lease agreement at $500 per month. The Company leased commercial space for office, retail and warehousing at 3230 Production Avenue, Suite B, Oceanside, CA 92058, which was under a one year lease agreement at $6,225 per month and expired on March 31, 2025. Commencing April 1, 2025, the Company leases commercial space for office, retail and warehousing at 3230 Production Avenue, Suite C & D, Oceanside, CA 92058 (10,000 square feet of warehouse and office space and 17,000 square feet of yard space), which is under a five year lease at $15,810 per month.

The Lima property is managed by Mr. Ralston and warehousing is supported by contractors without a written agreement. The Oceanside property is managed by Mr. Conboy and warehousing is supported by contractors without a written agreement. Our principal executive office is 1740H Del Range Blvd, Suite 166, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82009. Our primary phone number is (800) 401-4535.

**<u>Employees</u>**

Currently, none of our executive officers are full-time employees.

**Legal Proceedings**

From time to time, we may be involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, in the opinion of management, would have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us due to defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, negative publicity and reputation harm, and other factors.

**DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS**

The following table sets forth the names, ages, and positions of the Company's executive officers and directors. Executive officers are elected annually by the Board of Directors. Each executive officer holds his office until he resigns, is removed by the Board of Directors, or his successor is elected and qualified. Each director holds his office until his successor is elected and qualified or his earlier resignation or removal.

**<u>Board Composition and Director Independence</u>**

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board. In connection with this offering, we will amend and restate our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, and following completion of this offering, our Board will be composed of three directors. Our Articles of Incorporation will provide that our Board of Directors will be divided into three classes of directors, with the classes as nearly equal in number as possible. Each class will serve for three-year periods with staggered elections. Class I will next be elected by written consent in 2025, Class II at our first annual meeting in 2026, and Class III at our annual meeting in 2027. Subject to any earlier resignation or removal in accordance with the terms of our articles of incorporation and bylaws:

• our Class I director will be Jeffrey Pomerantz, who will serve until the first annual meeting of stockholders following the completion of this offering; 

• our Class II director will be John Costa, who will serve until the second annual meeting of stockholders following the completion of this offering; and 

• our Class III director will be Theodore Ralston, who will serve until the third annual meeting of stockholders following the completion of this offering. 

Upon completion of this offering, we expect that each of our directors will serve in the classes as indicated above.

We anticipate that, prior to our completion of this offering, the Board will determine that all of our directors, with the exception of Theodore Ralston, meet NYSE American's requirements to be independent directors. In making this determination, our Board considered the relationships that each such non-employee director has with the Company and all other facts and circumstances that our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence.

***Controlled Company Status***

After completion of this offering, Theodore Ralston will continue to control a majority of our outstanding common stock. As a result, we will be a "controlled company." Under NYSE American rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group, or another company, is a "controlled company" and may elect not to comply with certain NYSE American corporate governance requirements, including the requirements that, within one year of the date of the listing of our common stock:

• we have a board that is composed of a majority of "independent directors," as defined under the rules of such exchange; 

• we have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors; 

• we have a nominating and corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors; and 

• we have an annual performance evaluation of the nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees. 

Following this offering, we intend to rely on these exemptions. As a result, we may not have a majority of independent directors on our Board. In addition, our Compensation and Nominating & Governance Committees may not consist entirely of independent directors and/or may not be subject to annual performance evaluations. Accordingly, you may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the NYSE American corporate governance requirements.

***Board Committees***

Upon completion of this offering, our Board will have an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating & Governance Committee. The composition, duties and responsibilities of these committees will be as set forth below. In the future, our Board may establish other committees, as it deems appropriate, to assist it with its responsibilities.

We anticipate that, prior to the completion of this offering, our Board will determine that John Costa and Jeffrey Pomerantz meet the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the applicable listing standards of NYSE American. We anticipate that, prior to our completion of this offering, our Board will appoint a person who is an "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of SEC regulations and applicable listing standards of NYSE American. The Audit Committee's responsibilities upon completion of this offering will include:

• appointing, approving the compensation of, and assessing the qualifications, performance, and independence of our independent registered public accounting firm;

• preparing the Audit Committee report required by the rules of the SEC to be included in our annual proxy statement; 

• reviewing all related party transactions for potential conflict of interest situations and approving all such transactions; and 

• reviewing and discussing with management and our independent registered public accounting firm our earnings releases and guidance. 

**Compensation Committee** 

Following this offering, our Compensation Committee will be composed of John Costa and Jeffrey Pomerantz, with John Costa serving as chair of the committee. The Compensation Committee's responsibilities upon completion of this offering will include:

• annually reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our chief executive officer; 

• evaluating the performance of our chief executive officer in light of such corporate goals and objectives and determining and approving the compensation of our chief executive officer;

Our Board will delegate to the Audit Committee oversight of our risk management process. Our other committees of our Board will also consider and address risk as they perform their respective committee responsibilities. All committees will report to the full Board as appropriate, including when a matter rises to the level of a material or enterprise level risk.

Prior to completion of this offering, we intend to adopt a code of conduct that applies to all of our employees, officers, and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting.

Limitation on liability of officers and directors

Wyoming law provides that subject to certain very limited statutory exceptions, a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer, unless it is proven that the act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer and such breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. The statutory standard of liability established by Wyoming Business Corporations Act Section 17-16-831 controls even if there is a provision in the corporation's articles of incorporation unless a provision in the corporation's articles of incorporation provides for greater individual liability.

**Indemnification** 

Wyoming law permits broad provisions for indemnification of officers and directors.

Our bylaws provide that each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved (including, without limitation, as a witness) in any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether formal or informal, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director of or who is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of this or another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise, or employee benefit plan (a "covered person"), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a covered person, shall be indemnified and held harmless by us to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as then in effect, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, costs, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who ceased to be a covered person and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators.

However, no indemnification shall be provided hereunder to any covered person to the extent that such indemnification would be prohibited by Wyoming state law or other applicable law as then in effect, nor, with respect to proceedings seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, shall we indemnify any covered person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person except where such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by our board of directors, nor shall we indemnify any covered person who shall be adjudged in any action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification is sought, to be liable for any negligence or intentional misconduct in the performance of a duty.

**SEC Policy on Indemnification for Securities Act liabilities** 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

<sup>(1)</sup> Under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the number of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) because of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in the above table does not necessarily reflect the person's actual ownership or voting power concerning the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of this filing.

<sup>(2)</sup> In calculating any percentage in this table of Common Stock beneficially owned by one or more persons named therein, the table prior to this offering is based on 11,091,831 shares of Common Stock as of the filing date of this registration statement and any shares of Common Stock the person has the right to acquire within the 60 days following the date of this filing.

**DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES**

***<u>Common Stock</u>***

We are authorized to issue 1,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The holders of shares of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to equal dividends and distributions, with respect to the Common Stock when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors from funds legally available for such dividends. No holder of Common Stock has any preemptive right to subscribe for any of our stock nor are any shares subject to redemption. Upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, and after payment of creditors and any amounts payable to senior securities, the assets will be divided pro rata on a share-for-share basis among the holders of the shares of Common Stock.

No holder of shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be entitled as of right to purchase or subscribe for any part of any unissued stock of the Company or of any new or additional authorized stock of the Company of any class whatsoever, or any issue of securities of the Company convertible into stock, whether such stock or securities be issued for money or consideration other than money or by way of dividend, but any such unissued stock or such new or additional authorized stock or such securities convertible into stock may be issued and disposed of to such persons, firms, corporations and associations, and upon such terms as may be deemed advisable by the Board of Directors without offering to stockholders then of record or any class of stockholders any thereof upon the same terms or upon any terms.

We have never paid any dividends to stockholders of our Common Stock. The declaration in the future of any cash or stock dividends will depend upon our capital requirements and financial position, general economic conditions, and other pertinent factors. We presently intend not to pay any cash or stock dividends in the foreseeable future. Management intends to reinvest earnings, if any, in the development and expansion of our business. No dividend may be paid on the Common Stock until all preferred stock dividends are paid in full.

***<u>Preferred Stock</u>***

The powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations, and restrictions pertaining to the preferred stock, or any series thereof, shall be such as may be fixed, from time to time, by the Stockholders and the Board of Directors.

Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock do not have cumulative voting rights. This aspect means that a holder of a single share of Series A Preferred Stock cannot cast more than one vote for each position to be filled on the Board of Directors.

The Company will not, by amendment of the Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issuance or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock against impairment.

So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent as provided by the Wyoming Business Corporations Act) of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock: (a) alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock; (b) alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of any capital stock of the Company so as to adversely affect the Series A Preferred Stock; (c) increase the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock; or (d) authorize or issue any shares of senior securities.

Such Conversion Ratio, and the rate at which shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to certain adjustments as provided in the certificate of designation and preferences of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.

**Certain Provisions of Wyoming Law and of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws**

*The following summary of certain provisions of the Wyoming Business Corporations Act (referred to as the WBCA) and of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the WBCA and our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.*

**Our Board of Directors**

Pursuant to our Bylaws, each member of our board of directors who is elected at our annual meeting of our stockholders, and each director who is elected in the interim to fill vacancies and newly created directorships, will hold office until the next annual meeting of our stockholders and until his or her successor is elected and qualified. Pursuant to our Bylaws, directors will be elected by a majority of votes cast by the shares present in person or by proxy at a meeting of stockholders and entitled to vote thereon, a quorum being present at such meeting.

**Removal of Directors**

Our Bylaws provide that, the entire Board of Directors, or an individual director, may be removed from office and the remaining members of the Board of directors may elect a successor director to fill such vacancy for the remaining unexpired term of the director so removed. However, no director may be removed when the votes cast against removal would be sufficient to elect such director if voted cumulatively at an election at which the same total number of votes were cast (or, if such action is taken by written consent, all shares entitled to vote, were voted) and the entire number of directors authorized at the time of the director's most recent election were then being elected; and when by the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation the holders of the shares of any class or series voting as a class or series are entitled to elect one or more directors, any director so elected may be removed only by the applicable vote of the holders of the shares of that class or series.

**Meetings of Stockholders**

Pursuant to our Bylaws, an annual meeting of our stockholders for the purpose of the election of directors and the transaction of any other business will be held on a date and at the time and place, if any, determined by our board of directors. Each of our directors is elected by our stockholders to serve until the next annual meeting and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified. In addition, our board of directors, the chairman of our board of directors, the President, or by one or more Stockholders holding shares in the aggregate entitled to cast not less than 10% of the votes at any such meeting, may call a special meeting of our stockholders for any purpose, but business transacted at any special meeting of our stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice of such meeting. In addition, we will be required to hold a special election meeting under the circumstances described above under "Removal of Directors."

**Articles of Incorporation Amendments**

Unless a higher vote is required by its governing documents, the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote is required to amend a Wyoming corporation's Articles of Incorporation. However, amendments which make changes relating to the capital stock by increasing or decreasing the par value or the aggregate number of authorized shares of a class, or by altering or changing the powers, preferences or special rights of a class so as to affect them adversely, also require the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class, even though such class would not otherwise have voting rights.

**Bylaw Amendments**

Our board of directors has the power to amend, modify or repeal our Bylaws or adopt any new provision authorized by the laws of the State of Wyoming in force at such time, provided, however, that the Stockholders entitled to vote with respect thereto may alter, amend or repeal Bylaws made by the Board of Directors, except that the Board of Directors shall have no power to change the quorum for meetings of Stockholders or of the Board of Directors or to change any provisions of the Bylaws with respect to the removal of directors or the filling of vacancies in the Board resulting from the removal by the Stockholders.

**Amendment by Stockholders**

All Bylaws of the Company shall be subject to alteration or repeal, and new Bylaws may be made by the affirmative vote of Stockholders of record holding in the aggregate at least a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote in the election of directors at any annual or special meeting of Stockholders, provided that the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting shall have summarized or set forth in full therein, the proposed amendment.

**Advance Notice of Director Nominations and New Business**

Our Bylaws provide that, with respect to an annual meeting of stockholders, nominations of individuals for election to our board of directors and the proposal of other business to be considered by our stockholders at an annual meeting of stockholders may be made only (1) pursuant to our notice of the meeting, (2) by or at the direction of our board of directors or (3) by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record both at the time such stockholder gives us the requisite notice of such nomination or business and at the time of the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the notice procedures set forth in our Bylaws, including a requirement to provide certain information about the stockholder and its affiliates and the nominee or business proposal, as applicable.

With respect to special meetings of stockholders, only the business specified in our notice of meeting may be brought before the meeting. Nominations of persons for election to our board of directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected only (1) by or at the direction of our board of directors or (2) provided that our board of directors has determined that a purpose of the special meeting is to elect directors, by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record both at the time such stockholder gives us the requisite notice of such nomination or business and at the time of the special meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and upon such election and who has complied with the notice procedures set forth in our Bylaws, including a requirement to provide certain information about the stockholder and its affiliates and the nominee.

**Anti-Takeover Provisions**

The Wyoming Business Corporation Law contains a provision governing "Acquisition of Controlling Interest." This law provides generally that any person or entity that acquires 20% or more of the outstanding voting shares of a publicly-held Wyoming corporation in the secondary public or private market may be denied voting rights with respect to the acquired shares, unless a majority of the disinterested stockholders of the corporation elects to restore such voting rights in whole or in part. The control share acquisition act provides that a person or entity acquires "control shares" whenever it acquires shares that, but for the operation of the control share acquisition act, would bring its voting power within any of the following three ranges: (1) 20 to 33 1/3%, (2) 33 1/3 to 50%, or (3) more than 50%. A "control share acquisition" is generally defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of either ownership or voting power associated with issued and outstanding control shares. The stockholders or board of directors of a corporation may elect to exempt the stock of the corporation from the provisions of the control share acquisition act through adoption of a provision to that effect in the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the corporation. Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws do not exempt our common stock from the control share acquisition act. The control share acquisition act is applicable only to shares of "Issuing Corporations" as defined by the act. An Issuing Corporation is a Wyoming corporation, which; (1) has 200 or more stockholders, with at least 100 of such stockholders being both stockholders of record and residents of Wyoming; and (2) does business in Wyoming directly or through an affiliated corporation.

At this time, we do not have 100 stockholders of record who are also residents of Wyoming. Therefore, the provisions of the control share acquisition act do not apply to acquisitions of our shares and will not until such time as these requirements have been met. At such time as they may apply to us, the provisions of the control share acquisition act may discourage companies or persons interested in acquiring a significant interest in or control of the Company, regardless of whether such acquisition may be in the interest of our stockholders.

Our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and Wyoming law contain provisions that may delay or prevent a transaction or a change in control of us that might involve a premium paid for shares of our Common Stock or otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders, which could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. Certain of these provisions are described below.

*Selected anti-takeover provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws*. Our Articles of Incorporation and/or Bylaws contain anti-takeover provisions that:

---

| |
|:---|
| authorize our Board of Directors, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 30,000, 0000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, and with respect to each series, to fix the number of shares constituting that series, the powers, rights, and preferences of the shares of that series, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of that series; |
| specify that special meetings of our stockholders can be called only by our board of directors, the chairman of our board of directors, our president, or holders of a majority of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of our capital stock; |
| provide that our Bylaws may be amended by our board of directors without stockholder approval; |
| provide that no director may be removed when the votes cast against removal would be sufficient to elect such director if voted cumulatively at an election at which the same total number of votes were cast; |
| provide that the board of directors is divided into three classes. The members of each class are elected for a term of three years and only one class of directors is elected annually. Thus, it would generally take at least two annual elections to replace a majority of the board of directors; |
| provide that vacancies on our board of directors or newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of our directors may be filled only by a vote of a majority of directors then in office, or, if the number of directors then in office is less than a quorum, by (1) the unanimous written consent of the directors then in office, (2) the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, or (3) a sole remaining director; |
| provide that, subject to the express rights, if any, of the holders of any series of preferred stock, any amendment, modification, or repeal of, or the adoption of any new or additional provision, inconsistent with our Articles of Incorporation provisions relating to the removal of directors and the vote of our stockholders required to amend our Bylaws, requires the affirmative vote of the holders of majority of the voting power of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; |
| provide that the stockholders may amend, modify, or repeal our Bylaws, or adopt new or additional provisions of our Bylaws, only with the affirmative vote of majority of the voting power of our capital stock entitled to vote generally; and |
| establish advance notice procedures for stockholders to submit nominations of candidates for election to our board of directors and other proposals to be brought before a stockholders meeting. |

*Business Combinations under Wyoming Law*. The Wyoming "Combination with Interested Stockholders Statute" may also have an effect of delaying or making it more difficult to effect a change in control of the Company. This statute prevents an "interested stockholder" and a resident domestic Wyoming corporation from entering into a "combination," unless certain conditions are met. The statute defines "combination" to include any merger or consolidation with an "interested stockholder," or any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions with an "interested stockholder" having; (1) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation; (2) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation; or (3) representing 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation.

An "interested stockholder" means the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting shares of a resident domestic corporation, or an affiliate or associate thereof. A corporation affected by the statute may not engage in a "combination" within three years after the interested stockholder acquires its shares unless the combination or purchase is approved by the board of directors before the interested stockholder acquired such shares. If approval is not obtained, then after the expiration of the three-year period, the business combination may be consummated with the approval of the board of directors or a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders, or if the consideration to be paid by the interested stockholder is at least equal to the highest of: (1) the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the three years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or in the transaction in which he became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher; (2) the market value per common share on the date of announcement of the combination or the date the interested stockholder acquired the shares, whichever is higher; or (3) if higher for the holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock. The effect of Wyoming's business combination law is to potentially discourage parties interested in taking control of the Company from doing so if they cannot obtain the approval of our board of directors.

**Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers**

Our Bylaws eliminate the personal liability of our directors for damages arising from a breach of their fiduciary duty as directors or officers involving any act or omission of any such directors or officers, provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer (i) for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. Any repeal or modification of this Article by the stockholders of the Company shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director of officer of the Company for acts or omissions prior to such repeal or modification. Our Bylaws require us to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Wyoming law, including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under Wyoming law.

Under Wyoming law, we may indemnify our directors or officers or other persons who were, are or are threatened to be made, a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding because the person is or was our director, officer, employee or agent, if we determine that the person:

· conducted himself or herself in good faith;

· reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity as our director or officer, that his or her conduct was in our best interests, and, in all other cases, that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to our best interests; and

· in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

These persons may be indemnified against expenses, including attorney fees, judgments, fines, including excise taxes, and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred, by the person in connection with the proceeding. If the person is found liable to the Company, no indemnification shall be made unless the court in which the action was brought determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity in an amount that the court will establish.

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

**Authorized but Unissued Shares**

Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock will be available for future issuance without your approval. We may use additional shares for a variety of purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, to fund acquisitions and as employee compensation. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock could render it more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

**Transfer Agent** 

The transfer agent is Colonial Stock Transfer Company, Inc., 7840 S. 700 E, Sandy, UT 84070; telephone number is (801) 355-5740, and its website is www.colonialstock.com.

**SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE**

**Sale of Restricted Securities**

Upon consummation of this offering, we will have 12,591,831 shares of Common Stock outstanding (assuming no exercise of the over allotment). Of these shares, all shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable without further restriction or registration under the Securities Act, except that any shares purchased by our affiliates may generally only be sold in compliance with Rule 144, which is described below.

**Rule 144**

The shares of our Common Stock sold in this offering will be freely transferable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. Any shares of our Common Stock held by an "affiliate" of ours may not be resold publicly except in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or under an exemption under Rule 144 or otherwise. Rule 144 permits our Common Stock that has been acquired by a person who is an affiliate of ours, or has been an affiliate of ours within the three months of the date of sale, to be sold into the market in an amount that does not exceed, during any three-month period, the greater of:

· 1% of the total number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding; or

· the average weekly reported trading volume of our Common Stock for the four calendar weeks prior to the sale.

Such sales are also subject to specific manner of sale provisions, a six-month holding period requirement, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us.

Rule 144 also provides that a person who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has for at least six months beneficially owned shares of our Common Stock that are restricted securities, will be entitled to freely sell such shares of our Common Stock subject only to the availability of current public information regarding us. A person who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned for at least one year shares of our Common Stock that are restricted securities, will be entitled to freely sell such shares of our Common Stock under Rule 144 without regard to the current public information requirements of Rule 144.

**Lock-Up Agreements**

All of our directors, executive officers and holders of 5% or more of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible or exercisable for Common Stock) prior to this offering, are subject to lock-up agreements that, subject to certain exceptions, prohibit them from directly or indirectly offering, pledging, selling, contracting to sell, selling any option or contract to purchase, purchasing any option or contract to purchase, granting any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transferring or disposing of any shares of Common Stock, options to acquire shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or entering into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfer, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership, for a period of 180 days following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, without the prior written consent of the Representative.

**UNDERWRITING**

Univest Securities, LLC is acting as representative of the underwriters. Subject to the terms and conditions of an underwriting agreement between us and the Representative, we have agreed to sell to each underwriter named below, and each underwriter named below has severally agreed to purchase, at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the number of shares of Common Stock listed next to its name in the following table:

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the securities offered by this prospectus are subject to various conditions and representations and warranties, including the approval of certain legal matters by their counsel and other conditions specified in the underwriting agreement. The securities are offered by the underwriters, subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify the offer to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part. The underwriters are obligated to take and pay for all of the shares of Common Stock offered by this prospectus if any such shares are taken, other than those shares of Common Stock covered by the over-allotment option described below.

**Over-Allotment Option**

We have granted a 45-day option to the Representative, exercisable one or more times in whole or in part, to purchase up to 225,000 additional shares from us (15% of the shares of Common Stock offered to the public). If the Representative exercises all or part of this option, it will purchase shares of Common Stock covered by the option at the public offering price per share of Common Stock that appears on the cover page of this prospectus, less the underwriting discount. We will be obligated, pursuant to the option, to sell these additional shares of Common Stock to the underwriters to the extent the option is exercised.

**Discounts and Commissions**

The underwriters propose initially to offer the shares of Common Stock at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to dealers at those prices less a concession not in excess of $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share of Common Stock.

The following table shows the public offering price, underwriting discounts and commissions and proceeds before expenses to us. The information assumes either no exercise or full exercise of the over-allotment option we granted to the representative of the underwriters.

Our total estimated expenses of the offering, including registration, filing and listing fees, printing fees and legal and accounting expenses, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, are approximately $835,800.

**Lock-Up Agreements**

We, our executive officers and directors, and holders of 5% or more of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible or exercisable for Common Stock) prior to this offering, have agreed, not to directly or indirectly, offer to sell, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer or dispose of any of shares of (or enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the transfer or disposition by any person at any time in the future of) our Common Stock, enter into any swap or other derivatives transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic benefits or risks of ownership of shares of our Common Stock, make any demand for or exercise any right or cause to be filed a registration statement, including any amendments thereto, with respect to the registration of any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or any other securities of ours or publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing, subject to customary exceptions, for a period of 180 days following of the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, without the prior written consent of the Representative.

**Tail Financing**

We have agreed that the Representative shall be entitled to compensation commensurate with that to be received in this offering from the sale of any equity, debt and/or equity derivative instruments to any investor actually introduced by the Representative to us during the period between the date of that certain engagement agreement by and between the Company and the Representative, dated December 15, 2024 (the "Engagement Agreement"), and the closing of the offering, in connection with any public or private financing or capital raise (each a "Tail Financing"), and such Tail Financing is consummated any time within the 18-month period following the closing date of this offering

**Discretionary Accounts**

The underwriters do not intend to confirm sales of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby to any accounts over which they have discretionary authority.

**Determination of Offering Price**

The public offering price of the shares of Common Stock was negotiated between us and the underwriters. Factors considered in determining the public offering price of the shares and warrants include the history and prospects of the Company, the stage of development of our business, our business plans for the future and the extent to which they have been implemented, an assessment of our management, general conditions of the securities markets at the time of the offering and such other factors as were deemed relevant.

**Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids**

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our Common Stock. Specifically, the underwriters may over-allot in connection with this offering by selling more shares of Common Stock than are set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. This creates a short position in our Common Stock for its own account. The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares of Common Stock over-allotted by the underwriters is not greater than the number of shares of Common Stock that they may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of shares of Common Stock involved is greater than the number of securities in the over-allotment option. To close out a short position, the underwriters may elect to exercise all or part of the over-allotment option. The underwriters may also elect to stabilize the price of our Common Stock or reduce any short position by bidding for, and purchasing, Common Stock in the open market.

The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter or dealer repays selling concessions allowed to it for distributing securities in this offering because the underwriter repurchases the securities in stabilizing or short covering transactions.

Finally, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, securities in market making transactions, including "passive" market making transactions as described below.

These activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of our Common Stock at a price that is higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the absence of these activities. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities, and may discontinue any of these activities at any time without notice. These transactions may be effected on the national securities exchange on which our shares of Common Stock are traded, in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise.

**Indemnification**

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against liabilities relating to this offering arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, liabilities arising from breaches of some or all of the representations and warranties contained in the underwriting agreement, and to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make for these liabilities.

**Affiliations**

The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The underwriters and their affiliates may from time to time in the future engage with us and perform services for us or in the ordinary course of their business for which they will receive customary fees and expenses. In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of us. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of these securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in these securities and instruments.

**Conflicts of Interest**

We are not under any contractual obligation to engage any of the underwriters to provide any services for us after this offering and have no present intent to do so. However, any of the underwriters may introduce us to potential target businesses or assist us in raising additional capital in the future. If any of the underwriters provide services to us after this offering, we may pay such underwriter fair and reasonable fees that would be determined at that time in an arm's length negotiation; provided that no agreement will be entered into with any of the underwriters and no fees for such services will be paid to any of the underwriters prior to the date that is 90 days from the date of this prospectus, unless FINRA determines that such payment would not be deemed underwriter's compensation in connection with this offering and we may pay the underwriters of this offering or any entity with which they are affiliated a finder's fee or other compensation for services rendered to us in connection with the completion of a business combination.

**Electronic Distribution**

This prospectus in electronic format may be made available on websites or through other online services maintained by one or more of the underwriters, or by their affiliates. Other than this prospectus in electronic format, the information on any underwriter's website and any information contained in any other website maintained by an underwriter is not part of this prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or any underwriter in its capacity as underwriter, and should not be relied upon by investors.

**MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS**

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our shares of Common Stock, but is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations. This summary is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as of the date hereof. These authorities may be changed, possibly retroactively, so as to result in U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences different from those set forth below. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") will not challenge one or more of the tax consequences described herein, and we have not obtained, and do not intend to obtain, an opinion of counsel or ruling from the IRS with respect to the U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership or disposition of our securities.

This summary does not address any alternative minimum tax considerations, any considerations regarding the tax on net investment income, or the tax considerations arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction, or under any non-income tax laws, including U.S. federal gift and estate tax laws, except to the limited extent set forth below. In addition, this summary does not address tax considerations applicable to an investor's particular circumstances or to investors that may be subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation:

● banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions;

● tax-exempt organizations or governmental organizations;

● regulated investment companies and real estate investment trusts;

● controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

● brokers or dealers in securities or currencies;

● traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings;

● persons that own, or are deemed to own, more than five percent of our capital stock (except to the extent specifically set forth below);

● tax-qualified retirement plans;

● certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

● partnerships or entities or arrangements classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and other pass-through entities (and investors therein);

● persons who hold our securities as a position in a hedging transaction, "straddle," "conversion transaction" or other risk reduction transaction or integrated investment;

● persons who do not hold our securities as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code; or

● persons deemed to sell our securities under the constructive sale provisions of the Code.

In addition, if a partnership (or entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our securities, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend on the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. Accordingly, partnerships that hold our securities, and partners in such partnerships, should consult their tax advisors.

**You are urged to consult your own tax advisors with respect to the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our securities arising under the U.S. federal estate or gift tax laws or under the laws of any state, local, non-U.S., or other taxing jurisdiction or under any applicable tax treaty.**

**Consequences to U.S. Holders**

The following is a summary of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that will apply to a U.S. holder of our securities. For purposes of this discussion, you are a U.S. holder if, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, you are a beneficial owner of our securities, other than a partnership, that is:

● an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

● a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia;

● an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

● a trust (x) whose administration is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more "United States persons" (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (y) which has made a valid election to be treated as a "United States person."

***Distributions***

As described in the section titled "Dividend Policy," we have never declared or paid cash dividends on our Common Stock and do not anticipate paying any dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. However, if we do make distributions on our Common Stock, those payments will constitute dividends for U.S. tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent those distributions exceed both our current and our accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will constitute a return of capital and will first reduce your basis in our Common Stock, but not below zero, and then will be treated as gain from the sale of stock as described below under "Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock."

Dividend income may be taxed to an individual U.S. holder at rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided that a minimum holding period and other limitations and requirements are satisfied. Any dividends that we pay to a U.S. holder that is a corporation may qualify for a deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations equal to a portion of any dividends received, subject to generally applicable limitations on that deduction. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the holding period and other requirements that must be satisfied to qualify for the reduced tax rate on dividends or the dividends-received deduction.

***Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock***

A U.S. holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our Common Stock. The amount of gain or loss will equal the difference between the amount realized on the sale and such U.S. holder's tax basis in such Common Stock. The amount realized will include the amount of any cash and the fair market value of any other property received in exchange for such Common Stock. Gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder has held the Common Stock for more than one year. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. holders are generally taxed at preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

**Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders**

***Gain on Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock***

Subject to the discussion below regarding backup withholding and foreign accounts, a non-U.S. holder generally will not be required to pay U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our Common Stock unless:

● the gain is effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder's conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the gain is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States);

● the non-U.S. holder is a non-resident alien individual who is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the calendar year in which the sale or disposition occurs and certain other conditions are met; or

---

| |
|:---|
| 82 |
| *[Table of contents](#toc)* |

---

● shares of our Common Stock constitute U.S. real property interests by reason of our status as a "United States real property holding corporation" (a USRPHC) for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the non-U.S. holder's disposition of, or the non- U.S. holder's holding period for, our Common Stock.

We believe that we are not currently and will not become a USRPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the remainder of this discussion so assumes. However, because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends on the fair market value of our U.S. real property relative to the fair market value of our other business assets, there can be no assurance that we will not become a USRPHC in the future. Even if we become a USRPHC, however, as long as our Common Stock is regularly traded on an established securities market, such Common Stock will be treated as U.S. real property interests only if the non-U.S. holder actually or constructively holds more than five percent of such regularly traded Common Stock at any time during the shorter of the five-year period preceding the non-U.S. holder's disposition of, or the non-U.S. holder's holding period for, our Common Stock.

If the non-U.S. holder is described in the first bullet above, it will be required to pay tax on the net gain derived from the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition under regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates, and a corporate non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet above also may be subject to the branch profits tax at a rate of 30%, or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. An individual non-U.S. holder described in the second bullet above will be required to pay a flat 30% tax (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the gain derived from the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition, which gain may be offset by U.S. source capital losses for the year (provided the non-U.S. holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses). Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding any applicable income tax or other treaties that may provide for different rules.

***Federal Estate Tax***

Common Stock beneficially owned by an individual who is not a citizen or resident of the United States (as defined for U.S. federal estate tax purposes) at the time of their death will generally be includable in the decedent's gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes. Such shares, therefore, may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax, unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise.

**Backup Withholding and Information Reporting**

Generally, we must report annually to the IRS the amount of dividends paid to you, your name and address and the amount of tax withheld, if any. A similar report will be sent to you. Pursuant to applicable income tax treaties or other agreements, the IRS may make these reports available to tax authorities in your country of residence.

Payments of dividends on or of proceeds from the disposition of our securities made to you may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding at a current rate of 28% unless you establish an exemption, for example, by properly certifying your non-U.S. status on an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E or other applicable IRS Form W-8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, backup withholding and information reporting may apply if either we or our paying agent has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that you are a U.S. person.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax; rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund or credit may generally be obtained from the IRS, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

**Foreign Account Tax Compliance**

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA") generally imposes withholding tax at a rate of 30% on dividends on and gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our securities paid to a "foreign financial institution" (as specially defined under these rules), unless such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to, among other things, withhold on certain payments and to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding the U.S. account holders of such institution (which includes certain equity and debt holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that are foreign entities with U.S. owners) or otherwise establishes an exemption. FATCA also generally imposes a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on dividends on and gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our securities paid to a "non-financial foreign entity" (as specially defined for purposes of these rules) unless such entity provides the withholding agent with a certification identifying certain substantial direct and indirect U.S. owners of the entity, certifies that there are none or otherwise establishes an exemption. The withholding provisions under FATCA generally apply to dividends paid by us, and under current transitional rules are expected to apply with respect to the gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of our securities on or after January 1, 2020. Under certain circumstances, a non-U.S. holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify the requirements described in this paragraph. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of this legislation on their investment in our securities.

Each prospective investor should consult its own tax advisor regarding the particular U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities, including the consequences of any proposed changes in applicable laws.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To:

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of

General Enterprises Ventures, Inc.

**Opinion on the Financial Statements** 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of General Enterprises Ventures, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

**Substantial Doubt about the Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern** 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a working capital deficit that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans with regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

**Basis for Opinion** 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, audits of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal controls over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates

**Critical Audit Matters** 

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

*Valuation of Intangible Assets*

Description of the Matter

As described in Notes 2 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company reviews intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company's intangible assets comprised of patents and totaled $3.7 million as of December 31, 2024. We identified the auditing of the valuation of intangible assets as a critical audit matter because it represents a significant portion of the Company's total assets, and it requires a significant amount of judgment to evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of the intangible assets. The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included the following, among others:

· We obtained an understanding of the process utilized by the Company's management to evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of the intangible assets.

· We tested the Company's process and evaluated the reasonableness of the inputs that management used in its analysis, including the comparison of revenue projections with actual results.

*Valuation of Derivative Liability*

Description of the Matter

As described in Notes 2, 8 and 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recorded convertible notes that included a conversion feature that was required to be accounted for separately as a derivative liability under ASC 815, *Derivatives and Hedging*. We identified the auditing of the valuation of derivative liability as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgment and complex estimation required in determining its fair value. The fair value of this derivative liability is estimated using a binomial lattice model, which incorporates assumptions about the Company's conversion price, volatility, dividend yield, risk-free interest rate, credit risk, and potential early conversion behavior. The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included the following, among others:

· We obtained the Company's valuation model and obtained an understanding of the process utilized by the Company to determine the fair value of the derivative liability.

· We tested the Company's process and evaluated the reasonableness of the inputs and assumptions used in the Company's fair value calculation.

**General Enterprise Ventures, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

**December 31, 2024 and 2023**

**Note 1 – Organization, Business and Going Concern**

General Enterprise Ventures, Inc., was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 14, 1990 and on June 3, 2021 was redomiciled to the State of Wyoming. When used in these notes, the terms "GEVI," "Company," "we," "us" and "our" mean General Enterprise Ventures, Inc. and all entities included in our consolidated financial statements.

**Business**

We are an environmentally sustainable flame retardant and flame suppression company for the residential home industry throughout the United States and Canada markets. Management is experienced at business integration and branding potential. The Company is bringing to the marketplace unique, disruptive product with significant environmental impact potential.

The Company holds various intellectual property in the form of patents and trademarks in the fields of fire suppression, mapping and tracking of fire retardant dispersion and fire inhibition chemistry and technology. The Company has obtained multiple certification and accreditations in this industry, such as being the only EPA Safer Choice approved, long-term fire retardant, awarded UL GreenGuard Gold status, and California Bioassay water approval.

**Going Concern**

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses since inception and has a net loss of approximately $6.9 million and revenue of $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company also has a working capital deficiency of approximately $0.5 million as of December 31, 2024. In addition, the Company has been dependent on related parties to fund operations and has an amount owing to related parties of $0.6 million outstanding at December 31, 2024. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.

Management recognizes that the Company must obtain additional resources to successfully implement its business plans. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company completed financings from the issuance of Series C preferred stock, common stock, promissory notes and related party loans, generating net proceeds of approximately $3.1 million. However, the Company's existing cash resources and income from operations, are not expected to provide sufficient funds to carry out the Company's operations and business development through the next twelve (12) months.

Management plans to continue to raise funds and complete an Initial Public Offering (IPO) to support our operations in 2025. However, no assurances can be given that we will be successful. If management is not able to timely and successfully raise additional capital and/or complete an IPO, the implementation of the Company's business plan, financial condition and results of operations will be materially affected. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

**Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

**Basis of Presentation**

The Financial Statements and related disclosures have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") of the United States.

The Company's fiscal year is December 31.

**Principles of Consolidation**

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of General Enterprise Ventures, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

**Reclassification**

Certain amounts have been reclassified to improve the clarity and comparability of the financial statements. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported total assets, liabilities, equity, net income (loss), or cash flows for any periods presented.

**Use of Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these good faith estimates and judgments.

**Segment Information**

Our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") is the chief operating decision maker who reviews financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Accordingly, we determined we operate in a single reporting segment - environmentally sustainable flame retardant and flame suppression company for the residential home industry.

Our CEO assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources primarily based on consolidated net income, which is reported on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Total assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets represent our segment assets.

**Cash and Cash Equivalents**

For purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents at December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company had cash of $775,133 and $549,755 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Periodically, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions more than the federally insured limit of $250,000 per institution. The amount in excess of the FDIC insurance as of December 31, 2024, was approximately $387,000. The Company has not experienced losses on account balances and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant.

**Inventory**

Inventories consist of finished goods and raw materials which are stated at lower cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined on the weighted average method.

**Accounts Receivable**

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts to reflect any expected loss on the trade accounts receivable balances and charged to the provision for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make the required payments for services. Accounts with known financial issues are first reviewed and specific estimates are recorded. The remaining accounts receivable balances are then grouped in categories by the number of days the balance is past due, and the estimated loss is calculated as a percentage of the total category based upon past history. Account balances are charged against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered.

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $22,774 and $0, respectively, and no allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

**Intangible Assets**

Intangible assets with finite lives are initially recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic useful lives of the respective assets. Acquired intangible assets from business combinations and asset acquisitions are recognized and measured at fair value at the time of acquisition. These assets are patents and represent assets with finite lives and are further amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic useful lives of 20 years for these acquired patents.

**Property and Equipment**

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method. Currently our assets consist of furniture and equipment and vehicle which we amortize over a useful life of 5 and 7 years.

---

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Improvements of a major nature are capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in the income.

**Impairment of Long-lived Assets Other Than Goodwill**

Long-lived assets with finite lives, primarily property and equipment, intangible assets, and operating lease right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are below the asset's carrying value, then the asset is deemed to be impaired and written down to its fair value.

**Leases**

ASC 842 supersedes the lease requirements in ASC 840 "Leases", and generally requires lessees to recognize operating and finance lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use ("ROU") assets on the balance sheet and to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.

Any lease with a term of 12 months or less is considered short-term. As permitted by ASC 842, short-term leases are excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Consistent with all other operating leases, short-term lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company determines the present value of minimum future lease payments for operating leases by estimating a rate of interest that it would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments and a similar economic environment (the "incremental borrowing rate" or "IBR").The Company determines the appropriate IBR by identifying a reference rate and making adjustments that take into consideration financing options and certain lease-specific circumstances.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company's lease agreement is accounted for as operating leases.

**Fair Value of Financial Instruments** 

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value. The three tiers are defined as follows:

● Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

● Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and

● Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.

---

The Company's financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and loans payable, are carried at historical cost. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

**Convertible Notes**

The Company bifurcates conversion options from their host instruments and accounts for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments if certain criteria are met. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

**Derivative Financial Instruments**

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For our derivative financial instruments, the Company used a Binomial Lattice model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within twelve (12) months of the balance sheet date.

**Warrant** 

For warrants that are determined to be equity-classified, we estimate the fair value at issuance and record the amounts to additional paid in capital (potentially on a relative fair value basis if issued in a basket transaction with other financial instruments). Warrants that are equity-classified are not subsequently remeasured unless modified or required to be reclassified as liabilities.

**Related Parties**

The Company follows ASC 850*, "Related Party Disclosures,"* for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

**Revenue**

The Company recognizes revenue from its contracts with customers in accordance with *ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers.* The Company recognizes revenues when satisfying the performance obligation of the associated contract that reflects the consideration expected to be received based on the terms of the contract.

Revenue related to contracts with customers is evaluated utilizing the following steps:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. Identify the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii. Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii. Determine the transaction price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iv. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;v. Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, our revenues currently consist of a sale of product used for lumber products for fire prevention and an installation of self-contained sprinkler systems. Revenue is recognized at a point in time, that is which the risks and rewards of ownership of the product transfer from the Company to the customer.

**Cost of Revenue**

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, cost of revenue consisted of:

---

**Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share**

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive securities had been issued.

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the following common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the result of the computation was anti-dilutive.

**Deferred Offering Costs**

Pursuant to ASC 340-10-S99-1, costs directly attributable to an offering of equity securities are deferred and would be charged against the gross proceeds of the offering as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Deferred offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting, and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the proposed public offering. Should the proposed public offering prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be expensed.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, deferred offering costs consisted of the following:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | December 31,<br>2024 | December 31<br>2023 |
| Legal fees  | $52131 | $- |
| General and administrative expenses | 73973 | - |
| Total  | $126104 | $- |

---

**Share-Based Compensation**

The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock awards under ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, whereby equity instruments issued to employees for services are recorded based on the fair value of the instrument issued and those issued to nonemployees are recorded based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service.

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, stock-based compensation was recognized as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Years Ended | Years Ended |
|  | December 31, | December 31, |
|  | 2024 | 2023 |
| Management compensation | $- | $180000 |
| Professional fees | 975249 | 146850 |
| Professional fees - related party | 1422750 | 8640000 |
| Advertising and marketing | 660000 | - |
|  | $3057999 | $8966850 |

---

The Company valued common stock based on the quoted stock price on a date of issuance and Series C Convertible Preferred stock as if converted to common stock, using the quoted stock price of the Company's common stock on a date of issuance.

**Income Taxes**

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the Company's deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

**Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements**

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02 "*Codification Improvements – Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements*" ("ASU 2024-02"), which contains amendments to the Codification to remove references to various FASB Concepts Statements. In most instances, the references are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. Generally, ASU 2024-02 is not intended to result in significant accounting changes for most entities. ASU 2024-02 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not expect this update to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires, among other things, additional disclosures primarily related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The expanded annual disclosures are effective for our year ending December 31, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2023-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and whether we will apply the standard prospectively or retrospectively.

The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.

**Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement**

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"), which requires additional disclosures around significant segment expenses and disclosures to identify the title and position of the chief operating decision maker ("CODM").

The fair value of the conversion feature was recorded as a debt discount and "day 1" derivative loss for the excess amount of debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the term of the note.

**Note 9 – Derivative Liability** 

***Fair Value Assumptions Used in Accounting for Derivative Liabilities***

ASC 815 requires us to assess the fair market value of derivative liabilities at the end of each reporting period and recognize any change in the fair market value as other income or expense. The Company determined our derivative liabilities to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and used the Binomial Lattice model to calculate the fair value as of issuance and December 31, 2024.

The underlying assumptions of Binomial Lattice model are as follows:

1. The short-term interest rates, including risk-free rate, are known and remain constant over time.

2. The absence of any arbitrage opportunities is assumed.

3. The stock price follows a continuous-time random walk, with the rate of variance proportional to the square of the stock price.

4. The distribution of possible stock prices at the end of any given finite interval is assumed to be lognormal.

5. The variance of the rate of return on the stock is constant.

6. No commissions or transaction costs are incurred when buying or selling the stock or option.

7. The option's early exercise value is evaluated at each node of the lattice.

8. If applicable, the tax rate remains consistent for all transactions and market participants.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the estimated fair values of the liabilities measured on a recurring basis are as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | December 31<br>2024 |
| Expected term  | 0.29 years |
| Total Nodes | 72 |
| Risk-free interest rate  | 4.15% |
| Stock price at valuation date | $0.73 |
| Adjusted stock price at valuation date | $7.30 |
| Expected average volatility  | 95.41% |

We evaluate all warrants issued to determine the appropriate classification under ASC 480 and ASC 815.

The classification of all outstanding warrants, including whether such instruments should be recorded as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.

The warrants are valued using a Black Scholes valuation model. The use of this valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions. Any change to these inputs could produce significantly higher or lower fair value measurements.

The Company utilized the following assumptions:

**Note 13 - Income Taxes**

Components of income tax expense (benefit) are as follows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | 2024 | 2023 |
| Current | $- | $- |
| Deferred | - | - |
| Income tax benefit | $- | $- |

The tax effects of temporary differences which give rise to the significant portions of deferred tax assets or liabilities are as follows at December 31, 2024 and 2023:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | 2024 | 2023 |
| Deferred tax assets and liabilities |  |  |
| Net operating losses carried forward | $7148000 | $5780000 |
| Intangibles | (57000) | (103000) |
| Total deferred tax asset | 7091000 | 5677000 |
| Less: valuation allowance | (7091000) | (5677000) |
| Net deferred tax asset | $- | $- |

---

The Company will have approximately $34.4 million and $27.5 million of gross net operating loss carry-forwards at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Federal NOLs do not expire, but are subject to 80% income limitation on use; state and local laws may vary by jurisdiction. Net deferred tax assets are mainly comprised of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amount and tax basis of assets and liabilities.

ASC 740 requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, a full valuation allowance was recognized.

In addition, the Company performed a comprehensive review of its uncertain tax positions and determined that no adjustments were necessary relating to unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company's federal and state income tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities for three years after the returns are filed, and as such the Company's federal and state income tax returns remain open to examination.

The reconciliation of the income tax benefit is computed at the U.S. federal statutory rate as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | 2024 | 2023 |
| Statutory tax rate | 21.0% | 21.0% |
| State tax rate | 8.8% | 8.8% |
| Effect of change in income tax rate for deferred tax assets |  |  |
| Effect of expenses not deductible for tax purpose | (1.8)% | 0.0% |
| Amortization | 0.5% | 0.5% |
| Change in valuation allowance | (28.5)% | (30.3)% |
| Effective income tax rate | 0.0% | 0.0% |

As a result, the Company believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited.

**General Enterprise Ventures, Inc.**

**Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements**

**March 31, 2025**

**Note 1 – Organization, Business and Going Concern**

General Enterprise Ventures, Inc., was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 14, 1990. On June 3, 2021, after approval by the board of directors and shareholders of the Company, the Company was redomiciled to the State of Wyoming. On October 11, 2021, after approval by the board of directors and shareholders of the Company, the Company was renamed General Enterprise Ventures, Inc., in the State of Wyoming. When used in these notes, the terms "GEVI," "Company," "we," "us" and "our" mean General Enterprise Ventures, Inc. and all entities included in our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

**Corporate Changes**

Effective June 25, 2024, the Company formed and organized a wholly owned subsidiary, GEVI Insurance Holdings Inc., an Ohio corporation ("GEVI Insurance"), to enter the wildfire insurance markets utilizing the Company's flame retardant and flame suppression product. Effective February 21, 2025, the Company formed MFB Insurance Company, Inc., a Hawaii corporation ("MFBI") and organized it as a wholly owned subsidiary of GEVI Insurance to act as a captive insurance company to enter the wildfire insurance market. MFBI was formed to act as a captive insurance company to reinsure real property protected with the Company's CitroTech product. MFBI is not currently able to reinsure real property.

***Business***

Our product is CitroTech™, which is utilized in wildfire defense and to treat lumber to inhibit fire. In addition, we are developing a coating to treat lumber during manufacture prior to distribution. Our product is sustainable, because it is made of food-grade ingredients derived from corn, fruits and other renewable sources. Our current customer base is mainly comprised of homeowners, developers and fire departments. Homeowners and developers use our product to proactively spray wood framing during construction to treat the property prior to the occurrence of fires. We install systems to deploy our product remotely to provide a buffer zone around properties to prevent combustion. Fire Departments use our product to proactively spray around controlled burns and areas that traditionally have active wildfire risk to prevent expansion of the burn area.

**Going Concern**

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses since inception and has a net loss of approximately $10.9 million and revenue of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company also has working capital of approximately $49,000 as of March 31, 2025. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the unaudited consolidated financial statements are issued.

Management recognizes that the Company must obtain additional resources to successfully implement its business plans. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company completed financings from the issuance of Series C preferred stock, and convertible notes, generating net proceeds of approximately $3.9 million. However, the Company's existing cash resources and income from operations, are not expected to provide sufficient funds to carry out the Company's operations and business development through the next twelve (12) months.

Management plans to continue to raise funds and complete a public offering to support our operations in 2025. However, no assurances can be given that we will be successful. If management is not able to timely and successfully raise additional capital and/or complete a public offering, the implementation of the Company's business plan, financial condition and results of operations will be materially affected. These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

**Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

**Basis of Presentation**

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring entries necessary for a fair statement of the periods presented for: (a) the financial position; (b) the result of operations; and (c) cash flows, have been made in order to make the unaudited interim financial statements presented not misleading. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operations for a full year. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025.

**Principles of Consolidation**

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of General Enterprise Ventures, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

**Reclassification**

Certain amounts have been reclassified to improve the clarity and comparability of the financial statements. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported total assets, liabilities, equity, net income (loss), or cash flows for any periods presented.

**Use of Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these good faith estimates and judgments.

**Segment Information**

Our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") is the chief operating decision maker who reviews financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Accordingly, we determined we operate in a single reporting segment - environmentally sustainable flame retardant and flame suppression company for the residential home industry.

Our CEO assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources primarily based on consolidated net income, which is reported on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Total assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets represent our segment assets.

**Cash and Cash Equivalents**

For purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company had cash of $3,740,336 and $775,133, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Periodically, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions more than the federally insured limit of $250,000 per institution. The amount in excess of the FDIC insurance as of March 31, 2025, was approximately $2.7 million. The Company has not experienced losses on account balances and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant.

**Accounts Receivable**

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts to reflect any expected loss on the trade accounts receivable balances and charged to the provision for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make the required payments for services. Accounts with known financial issues are first reviewed and specific estimates are recorded. The remaining accounts receivable balances are then grouped in categories by the number of days the balance is past due, and the estimated loss is calculated as a percentage of the total category based upon past history. Account balances are charged against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded no bad debt expense, and no allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

**Fair Value of Financial Instruments** 

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value. The three tiers are defined as follows:

● Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

● Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and

● Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.

The Company's financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and loans payable, are carried at historical cost. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

**Convertible Notes**

The Company bifurcates conversion options from their host instruments and accounts for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments if certain criteria are met. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

**Derivative Financial Instruments**

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For our derivative financial instruments, the Company used a Binomial Lattice model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within twelve (12) months of the balance sheet date.

**Warrants**

For warrants that are determined to be equity-classified, we estimate the fair value at issuance and record the amounts to additional paid in capital (potentially on a relative fair value basis if issued in a basket transaction with other financial instruments). Warrants that are equity-classified are not subsequently remeasured unless modified or required to be reclassified as liabilities.

**Revenue**

The Company recognizes revenue from its contracts with customers in accordance with *ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers.* The Company recognizes revenues when satisfying the performance obligation of the associated contract that reflects the consideration expected to be received based on the terms of the contract.

Revenue related to contracts with customers is evaluated utilizing the following steps:

i. Identify the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

ii. Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

iii. Determine the transaction price;

iv. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract;

v. Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our revenues currently consist of a sale of product used for lumber products for fire prevention and an installation of self-contained sprinkler systems. Revenue is recognized at a point in time, that is which the risks and rewards of ownership of the product transfer from the Company to the customer.

**Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share**

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive securities had been issued.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the following common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the result of the computation was anti-dilutive.

**Deferred Offering Costs**

Pursuant to ASC 340-10-S99-1, costs directly attributable to an offering of equity securities are deferred and would be charged against the gross proceeds of the offering as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Deferred offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting, and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the proposed public offering. Should the proposed public offering prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be expensed.

| General and administrative expenses | 77627 | 73973 |
| Total  | $149452 | $126104 |

---

**Share-Based Compensation**

The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock awards under ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, whereby equity instruments issued to employees for services are recorded based on the fair value of the instrument issued and those issued to nonemployees are recorded based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, stock-based compensation was recognized as follows:

---

|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Three months ended  | Three months ended  |

The Company valued common stock based on the quoted stock price on a date of issuance, warrants with using a Black Scholes valuation model, and Series C Preferred stock as if converted to common stock, using the quoted stock price of the Company's common stock on a date of issuance.

**Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements**

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *"Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures"* (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02 "*Codification Improvements – Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements*" ("ASU 2024-02"), which contains amendments to the Codification to remove references to various FASB Concepts Statements. In most instances, the references are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. Generally, ASU 2024-02 is not intended to result in significant accounting changes for most entities. ASU 2024-02 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not expect this update to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, *"Income Taxes"* (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires, among other things, additional disclosures primarily related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The expanded annual disclosures are effective for our year ending December 31, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2023-09 will have its financial statements and whether we will apply the standard prospectively or retrospectively.

The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.

On July 15, 2024 and August 15, 2024, the Company entered into seventeen (17) convertible notes ($1,121,000) and warrants (1,401,250 shares of common stock). The convertible notes have a term of twelve (12) months, at an interest rate of 10% per annum and warrants are with a term of five (5) years, at exercise price of $0.50 per share. The outstanding principal amount of convertible notes and unpaid interest is convertible at conversion price of the lesser of (i) $0.40 or (ii) a 30% discount to the price of shares issued in connection with a qualified financing. In November and December, the Company entered into three (3) convertible notes ($175,000) and warrants (218,750 shares of common stock). The Company paid 8% financing fee of $89,680, accrued fee of $14,000 and recorded financing fee as debt discount.

In February 2025, the Company entered into eleven (11) convertible notes ($2,075,000) and warrants (2,593,750 shares of common stock). The convertible notes have a term of twelve (12) months, at an interest rate of 10% per annum and warrants are with a term of five (5) years, at exercise price of $0.50 per share. The outstanding principal amount of convertible notes and unpaid interest is convertible at conversion price of the lesser of (i) $0.40 or (ii) a 30% discount to the price of shares issued in connection with a qualified financing. The Company paid 8% financing fee of $166,000 recorded financing fee as debt discount.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized the debt discount of $2,075,000 (Original Issued Discounts of discount of $166,000, warrants of $882,000 and derivative liability of $1,027,000).

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized interest expenses of $60,258 and $135 and amortization of debt discount of $345,828 and $0, respectively. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded accrued interest of $110,981 and $50,723, respectively.

The Company determined that the conversion feature met the definition of a liability in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815-40, *Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Stock* and therefore bifurcated the embedded conversion option once the note becomes convertible and accounted for it as a derivative liability. The fair value of the conversion feature was recorded as a debt discount and "day 1" derivative loss for the excess amount of debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the term of the note.

**Note 8 – Derivative Liability**

***Fair Value Assumptions Used in Accounting for Derivative Liabilities***

ASC 815 requires us to assess the fair market value of derivative liabilities at the end of each reporting period and recognize any change in the fair market value as other income or expense.

The Company determined our derivative liabilities to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and used the Binomial Lattice model to calculate the fair value as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, the estimated fair values of the liabilities measured on a recurring basis, used the following significant assumptions:

**Item 17. Undertakings**

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% 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;&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 (a)(1)(i), (ii), and (iii) of this section do not apply if 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, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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;&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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser: If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C (§230.430C of this chapter), 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 (§230.430A of this chapter), 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§230.424 of this chapter);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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.

(d) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(e) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(f) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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.

*As Representative of the Underwriters*

*named on <u>Schedule A</u> hereto*

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned, **General Enterprise Ventures, Inc.**, a Wyoming corporation (collectively with its subsidiaries and affiliates, including, without limitation, all entities disclosed or described in the Registration Statement (as hereinafter defined) as being subsidiaries or affiliates of the Company, the "**Company**"), hereby confirms its agreement (this "**Agreement**") with the several underwriters (such underwriters, including the Representative (as defined below), the "**Underwriters**" and each an "**Underwriter**") named in <u>Schedule A</u> hereto for which Univest Securities, LLC is acting as the representative (in such capacity, the "**Representative**") to issue and sell an aggregate of [•] shares (each, a "**Firm Share**" and collectively, the "**Firm Shares**") of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company ("**Common Stock**"),. The Company has also granted to the several Underwriters an option to purchase up to [•] additional shares (each, an "**Additional Share**", and collectively, the "**Additional Shares**"), on the terms and for the purposes set forth in <u>Section 2(c)</u> hereof. The Firm Shares and any Additional Shares purchased pursuant to this Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the "**Offered Securities**." The offering and sale of the Offered Securities contemplated by this Agreement is referred to herein as the "**Offering**."

The Company confirms its agreement with the Underwriters as follows:

SECTION 1. *Representations and Warranties of the Company*.

The Company represents and warrants to the Underwriters as follows with the understanding that the same may be relied upon by the Underwriters in this Offering, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date (as defined below) and each Option Closing Date (as defined below), if any:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Filing of the Registration Statement*. The Company has prepared and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "**Commission**") a registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-282611), which contains a preliminary prospectus, as may be amended and supplemented from time to time, to such registration statement to be used in connection with the public offering and sale of the Offered Securities and the offer and sale of the Underwriter's Securities (as defined below). Such registration statement, including the preliminary prospectus contained therein, as may be amended or supplemented through the date of this Agreement, including the financial statements and the notes thereto, exhibits and schedules thereto contained in the registration statement at the time such registration statement became effective, in the form in which it was declared effective by the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "**Securities Act**"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "**Securities Act Regulations**"), and including any required information deemed to be a part thereof at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations, or pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (collectively, the "**Exchange Act**"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "**Exchange Act Regulations**"), is called the "**Registration Statement**." Any registration statement filed by the Company in connection with this Offering pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations is called the "**Rule 462(b) Registration Statement**," and from and after the date and time of filing of the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, the term "**Registration Statement**" shall also include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement. Such preliminary prospectus included in the Registration Statement filed prior to the date hereof, the Pricing Prospectus (as defined below) and such final prospectus in the form first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations after the date and time that this Agreement is executed and delivered by the parties hereto, is called the "**Prospectus**." All references in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, the preliminary prospectus included in the Registration Statement or filed with the Commission under Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations (the "**preliminary prospectus**"), the Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements to any of the foregoing, shall include any copy thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System ("**EDGAR**"). The preliminary prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement, as amended or supplemented immediately prior to the Applicable Time (as defined below) is hereinafter called the "**Pricing Prospectus**." Any reference herein to the preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or any supplement or amendment to either thereof shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents incorporated by reference therein as of the date of such reference.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) "**Applicable Time**" means 5:00 pm, Eastern Time, or such other time as agreed by the Company and the Representative, on the date of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Compliance with Registration Requirements*. The Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission under the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations on [•], 2025. The Company has complied, to the Commission's satisfaction, with all requests of the Commission for additional or supplemental information. No stop order preventing or suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement is in effect and no proceedings for such purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, are contemplated or threatened by the Commission.

The preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus, when filed, complied or will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations and, if filed by electronic transmission pursuant to EDGAR (except as may be permitted by Regulation S-T under the Securities Act), was identical in content to the copy thereof delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offer and sale of the Offered Securities and the Underwriter's Securities, other than with respect to any artwork and graphics that were not filed. Each of the Registration Statement, any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, and any post-effective amendment to either the Registration Statement or the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, at the time it became effective and at all subsequent times until the expiration of the prospectus delivery period required under Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act, complied and will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations and did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, as of its date and at all subsequent times until the Underwriters have completed the Offering of the Offered Securities and the Offering of the Underwriter's Warrants, did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The representations and warranties set forth in the two immediately preceding sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, or any post-effective amendment to either the Registration Statement or the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, or in the Prospectus, including the Pricing Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to the Underwriters furnished to the Company in writing expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished on behalf of any of the Underwriters consists of (i) the name of the Underwriters contained on the cover page of the Prospectus, including the Pricing Prospectus, and (ii) the sub-sections titled "Lock-Up Agreements", "Representative's Warrants", "Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids", "Determination of Public Offering Price" and "Electronic Distribution", in each case under the caption "Underwriting" in the Prospectus (the "**Underwriter Information**"). There are no contracts or other documents required to be described in the Prospectus, including the Pricing Prospectus, or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement that have not been fairly and accurately described in all material respects or filed as required.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Disclosure Package*. The term "**Disclosure Package**" shall mean (i) the Prospectus, including the Pricing Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, (ii) each issuer free writing prospectus, as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act (each, an "**Issuer Free Writing Prospectus**"), if any, identified in <u>Schedule B</u> hereto, (iii) the pricing terms set forth in <u>Schedule C</u> to this Agreement, and (iv) any other free writing prospectus that the parties hereto shall hereafter expressly agree in writing to treat as part of the Disclosure Package. As of the Applicable Time, the Disclosure Package did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Disclosure Package based upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) *Intentionally Omitted.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) *Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses*. No Issuer Free Writing Prospectus includes any information that conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement, including any document incorporated by reference therein that has not been superseded or modified. The foregoing sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus based upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) *Offering Materials Furnished to the Underwriters*. The Company has delivered to the Underwriters copies of the Registration Statement and of each consent and certificate of experts filed as a part thereof, and the preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, in such quantities and at such places as the Underwriters has reasonably requested in writing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) *Distribution of Offering Material by the Company*. The Company has not distributed and will not distribute, prior to the completion of the Underwriters' purchase of the Offered Securities, any offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the Offered Securities other than the preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus reviewed and consented to by the Underwriters, and the Registration Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) *Due Authorization, Execution and Delivery*. Each of this Agreement and the Underwriter's Warrants (as defined below) have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and when duly executed and delivered by the other parties hereto shall constitute a valid and binding agreement of, the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as rights to indemnification hereunder may be limited by applicable law and except as the enforcement hereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors or by general equitable principles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) *Authorization of the Offered Securities and Underwriter's Securities*. Each of the Offered Securities to be offered and sold by the Company through the Underwriters, as well as each of the Underwriter's Warrants and the Underlying Shares (each as defined herein), has been duly and validly authorized by all required corporate action and the Firm Shares, the Additional Shares and the Underlying Shares have been reserved for issuance and sale pursuant to this Agreement and, when so issued and delivered by the Company, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, in compliance with all applicable securities laws, free and clear of all Liens imposed by the Company and free of preemptive, registration or similar rights. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Underwriter's Warrants (the "**Underlying Shares**", and together with the Underwriter's Warrants, the "**Underwriter's Securities**") have been duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Underwriter's Warrants, as applicable, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, in compliance with all applicable securities laws, free and clear of all Liens imposed by the Company and free of preemptive, registration or similar rights. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the Company has a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock for the issuance of the maximum number of Offered Securities and Underlying Shares issuable in connection with the Offering and pursuant to the Underwriter's Warrants, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) *No Applicable Registration or Other Similar Rights*. There are no persons with registration or other similar rights to have any securities of the Company registered for sale under the Prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) *No Material Adverse Change*. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Package, subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the Disclosure Package: (i) there has been no material adverse change, or any development that could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change, singularly or in the aggregate, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business, assets, prospects or operations, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, of the Company (any such change, a "**Material Adverse Change**"); (ii) the Company has not incurred any material liability or obligation, indirect, direct or contingent, not in the ordinary course of business nor entered into any material transaction or agreement not in the ordinary course of business; and (iii) there has been no dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made by the Company in respect of its capital stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) *Independent Accountant*. WWC, P.C., which has expressed its opinions with respect to the audited financial statements (which term as used in this Agreement includes the related notes thereto) of the Company filed with the Commission as a part of the Registration Statement and included in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, is an independent registered public accounting firm as required by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) *Preparation of the Financial Statements*. Each of the historical financial statements of the Company, respectively, filed with the Commission as a part of the Registration Statement and included in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, presents fairly the information provided as of and at the dates and for the periods indicated. Such financial statements comply as to form with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations and have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("**U.S. GAAP**") applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved, except as may be expressly stated in the related notes thereto, or in the case of unaudited interim financial statements, which are subject to normal year-end audit adjustments that are not expected to be material. No other financial statements or supporting schedules are required to be included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement. Each item of historical financial data relating to the operations, assets or liabilities of the Company set forth in summary form in each of the preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus fairly presents such information on a basis consistent with that of the complete financial statements contained in the Registration Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o) *Incorporation and Good Standing*. The Company has been duly incorporated or formed and is validly existing and in good standing as a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and has corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement. As of the Closing, the Company does not own or control, directly or indirectly, any corporation, association or other entity that is not otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Package.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(p) *Capitalization and Other Capital Stock Matters*. The authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company is as set forth in each of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (other than for subsequent issuances, if any, pursuant to employee benefit plans described in each of the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or upon exercise or conversion of outstanding options, convertible notes or warrants described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, as the case may be). The shares of Common Stock conform, and, when issued and delivered as provided in this Agreement, each of the other Offered Securities and each of the Underwriter's Securities will conform, when issued and delivered as provided in this Agreement, in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained in each of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, and, except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, will entitle the holders of such Offered Securities and Underwriter's Securities to the applicable rights and benefits provided therein. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company outstanding disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus prior to the issuance of the Shares, any Additional Shares and the Underwriter's Securities have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and have been issued in compliance with applicable laws. None of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company were issued in violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company. There are no authorized or outstanding options, convertible notes, warrants, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other rights to purchase, or equity or debt securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, any capital stock of the Company other than those described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. The description of the Company's stock option and other stock plans or arrangements, and the options or other rights granted thereunder, set forth in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus accurately and fairly presents the information required to be shown with respect to such plans, arrangements, options and rights. No further approval or authorization of any shareholder, the board of directors of the Company (the "**Board**") or others is required for the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities or the Underwriter's Securities. Except as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there are no shareholders agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the Company's capital stock to which the Company is a party or, to the knowledge of the Company, between or among any of the Company's shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(q) *Non-Contravention of Existing Instruments; No Further Authorizations or Approvals Required*. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the Company is not in violation of its articles of incorporation, as amended, or bylaws ("**Charter Documents**") or in default (or, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, would be in default) ("**Default**") under any indenture, mortgage, loan or credit agreement, note, contract, franchise, lease or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it may be bound (including, without limitation, any agreement or contract filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement or to which any of the property or assets of the Company are subject (each, an "**Existing Instrument**")). Except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the Company's execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Underwriter's Warrants, and consummation of the Offering and issuance of the Shares and Additional Shares (if applicable) and all transactions contemplated hereby, thereby and by the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and will not result in any violation of the provisions of the Charter Documents, (ii) will not conflict with or constitute a breach of, or Default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company pursuant to, or require the consent of any other party to, any Existing Instrument and (iii) will not result in any violation of any law, administrative regulation or administrative or court decree applicable to the Company, except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), to the extent such conflict, breach, Default or violation could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. No consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or registration or filing with, any court or other governmental or regulatory authority or agency, is required for the Company's execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Underwriter's Warrants, and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, thereby and by the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, except the registration or qualification of the Offered Securities and the Underwriter's Securities under the Securities Act and applicable state securities or blue sky laws and from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("**FINRA**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(r) *Subsidiaries.* Each of the Company's direct and indirect subsidiaries (each a "**Subsidiary**" and collectively, the "**Subsidiaries**") has been identified on <u>Schedule D</u> hereto. Each of the Subsidiaries has been duly formed, is validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, organization or formation, as the case may be, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, organization or formation, has full power and authority (corporate or otherwise) to own its property and to conduct its business as described in the Prospectus, and is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership or leasing of property requires such qualification, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Change on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, all of the equity interests of each Subsidiary have been duly and validly authorized and issued, are owned directly or indirectly by the Company, are fully paid in accordance with its certificate of incorporation, articles of incorporation, articles of association, memorandum of association or other organizational documents, and non-assessable, and are free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, or claims ("**Liens**"). None of the outstanding share capital or equity interest in any Subsidiary was issued in violation of preemptive or similar rights of any security holder of such Subsidiary. All of the constitutive or organizational documents of each of the Subsidiaries comply with the requirements of applicable laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or formation and are in full force and effect. Apart from the Subsidiaries, the Company has no direct or indirect subsidiaries or any other company over which it has direct or indirect effective control. Other than the Subsidiaries, the Company does not directly or indirectly control any entity through contractual arrangements or otherwise such that the entity would be deemed a consolidated affiliated entity whose financial results would be consolidated under U.S. GAAP with the financial results of the Company on the consolidated financial statements of the Company, regardless of whether the Company directly or indirectly owns less than a majority of the equity interests of such person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(s) *No Material Actions or Proceedings*. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there are no legal, governmental or regulatory investigations, actions, demands, claims, suits, arbitrations, inquiries or proceedings (collectively, "**Actions**") pending or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened (i) against the Company, (ii) which have as the subject thereof any officer or director (in such capacities) of, or property owned or leased by, the Company, where in any such case (A) there is a reasonable possibility that such Action might be determined adversely to the Company and (B) any such Action, if so determined adversely, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change or adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, no material labor dispute with the employees of the Company exists or, to the Company's knowledge, is threatened or imminent. None of the Company's or its Subsidiaries' employees is a member of a union that relates to such employee's relationship with the Company or such Subsidiary, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to a collective bargaining agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries believe that their relationships with their employees are good. No executive officer, to the knowledge of the Company, is in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement or non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant in favor of any third party, and the continued employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. Neither the Company or any Subsidiary, nor any director or officer thereof, is or has within the last 10 years been the subject of any Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty. There has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the Commission involving the Company or any current or former director or officer of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Indemnification by the Company*. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters, their respective affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, members, employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively the "**Underwriter Indemnified Parties**," and each a "**Underwriter Indemnified Party**") from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (including in settlement of any litigation if such settlement is effected with the prior written consent of the Company) arising out of (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including the information deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness and at any subsequent time pursuant to Rules 430A and 430B of the Securities Act Regulations, or arise out of or are based upon the omission from the Registration Statement, or alleged omission to state therein, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (ii) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any other materials used in connection with the Offering, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and shall reimburse such Underwriter Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with evaluating, investigating or defending against such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; *provided, however*, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement in, or omission from the preliminary prospectus, any Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any other materials used in connection with the Offering made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information. The indemnification obligations under this <u>Section 7(a)</u> are not exclusive and will be in addition to any liability, which the Underwriters might otherwise have and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available at law or in equity to each Underwriter Indemnified Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Indemnification by the Underwriters*. The Underwriters shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Company's affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively the "**Company Indemnified Parties**" and each a "**Company Indemnified Party**") from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (including in settlement of any litigation if such settlement is effected with the prior written consent of the Underwriters) arising out (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any "issuer information" filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Securities Act Regulations, any Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) the omission to state in the preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any "issuer information" filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Securities Act Regulations, any Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information and shall reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as third party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, investigation or proceeding, as such fees and expenses are incurred. Notwithstanding the provisions of this <u>Section 7(b)</u>, in no event shall any indemnity by the Underwriters under <u>this Section 7(b)</u> exceed the total discounts received by the Underwriters in connection with the Offering. The indemnification obligations under this <u>Section 7(b)</u> are not exclusive and will be in addition to any liability, which the Company might otherwise have and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available at law or in equity to each Company Indemnified Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Procedure*. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this <u>Section 7</u> of notice of the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this <u>Section 7</u>, notify such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 7 except to the extent it has been materially adversely prejudiced by such failure; and, provided, further, that the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this <u>Section 7</u>. If any such action shall have been brought against an indemnified party, such indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party of such action, and the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (which counsel shall not, except with the written consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party). After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such action, except as provided herein, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under <u>Section 7(a)</u> or <u>7(b)</u>, as applicable, for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense of such action other than reasonable costs of investigation; *provided, however*, that any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense of such action but the fees and expenses of such counsel (other than reasonable costs of investigation) shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized in writing by the Company in the case of a claim for indemnification under <u>Section 7(a)</u>or the Underwriters in the case of a claim for indemnification under <u>Section 7(b)</u>, (ii) such indemnified party shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or (iii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party within a reasonable period of time after notice of the commencement of the action or the indemnifying party does not diligently defend the action after assumption of the defense, in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of (or, in the case of a failure to diligently defend the action after assumption of the defense, to continue to defend) such action on behalf of such indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall be responsible for legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense of such action; *provided, however,* that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time of any such indemnified party (in addition to any local counsel), which firm shall be designated in writing by the Underwriters if the indemnified party under this <u>Section 7</u> is an Underwriter Indemnified Party or by the Company if an indemnified party under this <u>Section 7</u> is a Company Indemnified Party. Subject to this <u>Section 7(c)</u>, the amount payable by an indemnifying party under <u>Section 7</u> shall include, but not be limited to, (x) reasonable legal fees and expenses of counsel to the indemnified party and any other expenses in investigating, or preparing to defend or defending against, or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with, any action, investigation, proceeding or claim, and (y) all amounts paid in settlement of any of the foregoing. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to any pending or threatened action or any claim whatsoever, in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this <u>Section 7</u> (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. Subject to the provisions of the following sentence, no indemnifying party shall be liable for settlement of any pending or threatened action or any claim whatsoever that is effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with its written consent, if its consent has been unreasonably withheld or delayed or if there be a judgment for the plaintiff in any such matter, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. In addition, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested that an indemnifying party reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated herein effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than forty-five (45) days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the request for reimbursement, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least thirty (30) days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Contribution*. If the indemnification provided for in this <u>Section 7</u> is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under <u>Section 7(a)</u> or <u>Section 7(b)</u>, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid, payable or otherwise incurred by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (or any action, investigation or proceeding in respect thereof), as incurred, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified parry or parties on the other hand from the Offering, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) of this <u>Section 7(d)</u> is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) of this <u>Section 7(d)</u> but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other with respect to the statements, omissions, acts or failures to act which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (or any action, investigation or proceeding in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the Offering purchased by investors as contemplated by this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts received by the Underwriters in connection with the Offering, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement, omission, act or failure to act; provided that the parties hereto agree that the written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriters for use in the preliminary prospectus, any Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, consists solely of the Underwriters' Information. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this <u>Section 7(d)</u> be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding referred to above in this <u>Section 7(d)</u> shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this <u>Section 7(d)</u>, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with, any such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding. Notwithstanding the provisions of this <u>Section 7(d)</u>, the Underwriters shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the total discounts received in cash by the Underwriters in connection with the Offering less the amount of any damages that the Underwriters have otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission, act or alleged act or failure to act or alleged failure to act. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

SECTION 8. *Termination of this Agreement*. Prior to the Closing Date and each Option Closing Date, if applicable, whether before or after notification by the Commission to the Company of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Securities Act, this Agreement may be terminated by the Underwriters by written notice given to the Company if at any time (i) trading or quotation in any of the Company's securities shall have been suspended or limited by the Commission or by NYSE American; (ii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by any U.S. federal authorities; (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or international hostilities or any crisis or calamity, or any change in the United States or international financial markets, or any substantial change or development involving a prospective substantial change in U.S. or international political, financial or economic conditions that, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriters, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable to market the Offered Securities in the manner and on the terms described in the Prospectus or to enforce contracts for the sale of Offered Securities; (iv) if the Company shall have sustained a material loss by fire, flood, accident, hurricane, earthquake, theft, sabotage or other calamity or malicious act which, whether or not such loss shall have been insured, will, in the Representative's opinion, make it inadvisable to proceed with the delivery of the Offered Securities, (v) if the Company is in material breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants hereunder, or (vi) if the Representative shall have become aware after the date hereof of such a Material Adverse Change in the conditions or prospects of the Company, or such Material Adverse Change in general market conditions as in the Representative's judgment would make it impracticable to proceed with the offering, sale and/or delivery of the Offered Securities or to enforce contracts made by the Underwriters for the sale of the Offered Securities. Any termination pursuant to this <u>Section 8</u> shall be without liability on the part of (a) the Company to any of the Underwriters, except that the Company shall be, subject to demand by the Underwriters, obligated to reimburse the Underwriters for only those out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of their counsel, and expenses associated with a due diligence report), actually incurred by the Underwriters in connection herewith as allowed under FINRA Rule 5110, less any amounts previously paid by the Company; provided, however, that all such expenses shall not exceed $350,000 in the aggregate, (b) the Underwriters to the Company, or (c) of any party hereto to any other party except that the provisions of <u>Section 4</u> (with respect to the reimbursement of out-of-pocket accountable, bona fide expenses actually incurred by the Underwriters) and <u>Section 7</u> shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination; provided, that the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that in the event that the Company completes an offering with a party introduced to the Company by the Representative during the twelve (12) month period following the termination of the Engagement Agreement (as defined below), the Representative shall be entitled to the compensation and expenses set forth under Section 2, Section 4 and this Section 8, pursuant to Section 6 of the Engagement Agreement.

SECTION 9. *No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility*. The Company hereby acknowledges that the Underwriters are acting solely as underwriters in connection with the Offering. The Company further acknowledges that the Underwriters are acting pursuant to a contractual relationship created solely by this Agreement entered into on an arm's-length basis and in no event do the parties intend that the Underwriters act or be responsible as a fiduciary to the Company, its management, shareholders, creditors or any other person in connection with any activity that the Underwriters may undertake or have undertaken in furtherance of the Offering, either before or after the date hereof. The Underwriters hereby expressly disclaim any fiduciary or similar obligations to the Company, either in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions, and the Company hereby confirms its understanding and agreement to that effect. The Company hereby further confirms its understanding that no Underwriter has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the Offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including, without limitation, any negotiation related to the pricing of the Offered Securities; and the Company has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate in connection with this Agreement and the Offering. The Company and the Underwriters agree that they are each responsible for making their own independent judgments with respect to any such transactions, and that any opinions or views expressed by the Underwriters to the Company regarding such transactions, including but not limited to any opinions or views with respect to the price or market for the Company's securities, do not constitute advice or recommendations to the Company. The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company may have against the Underwriters with respect to any breach or alleged breach of any fiduciary or similar duty to the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions.

SECTION 10. *Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery; Third-Party Beneficiaries*. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, of its officers, and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters or the Company or any of its or their partners, officers or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities sold hereunder, the Underwriter's Securities, and any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 11. *Additional Agreements*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Board Observer Rights*. For a period of three (3) months from the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Representatives are hereby given the right to designate one observer to the board of directors of the Company, which observer shall be mutually agreeable to the Company and the Representatives, to attend all meetings of the board of directors and committees thereof in a non-voting observer capacity; provided, however, (i) that the Company reserves the right to withhold any information and to exclude such observer from any meeting, or any portion thereof, if necessary to protect confidentiality of information, avoid a material conflict of interest, or preserve attorney-client privilege; (ii) that in no event shall the failure to provide the notice described above invalidate in any way any action taken at a meeting of the board of directors or a committee thereof; and (iii) such observer and the Representatives shall be required to enter into a confidentiality agreement in the form reasonably required by the Company and shall comply with applicable law with respect to use of information of the Company obtained in the role of a board observer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Tail Financings*. The Representative shall be entitled to receive from the Company the compensation commensurate with those set forth under <u>Sections 2(a)</u> and <u>4</u> herein, with respect to any public or private offering or other financing or capital-raising transaction of any kind (the "**Tail Financing**") to the extent that such financing or capital is provided to the Company by investors whom the Representative introduced to the Company in writing during the period from the date of that certain Exclusive Engagement Agreement by and between the Company and the Representative, dated as of December 15, 2024, as amended by the Amendment to Exclusive Engagement Agreement, dated as of July 23, 2025 (as amended, the "**Engagement Agreement**") through the Closing Date, if such Tail Financing is consummated at any time within eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date.

**Re: General Enterprise Ventures, Inc.—Public Offering; Uplisting** 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned, a holder of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("**Shares**"), or rights to acquire Shares, of General Enterprise Ventures, Inc. (the "**Company**"), understands that you are the representative (the "**Representative**") of the several underwriters (collectively, the "**Underwriters**") named or to be named in the final form of the underwriting agreement (the "**Underwriting Agreement**") to be entered into among the Underwriters and the Company, providing for the public offering (the "**Public Offering**") of Shares and if applicable, other securities (collectively, the "**Securities**") pursuant to a registration statement filed or to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "**SEC**"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth for them in the Underwriting Agreement.

In consideration of the Underwriters' agreement to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the Public Offering of the Securities, and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees, for the benefit of the Company, the Representative and the other Underwriters that, without the prior written consent of the Representative, the undersigned will not, during the period specified in the following paragraph (the "**Lock-Up Period**"), directly or indirectly, unless otherwise provided herein, (a) offer, sell, agree to offer or sell, solicit offers to purchase, grant any call option or purchase any put option with respect to, pledge, encumber, assign, borrow or otherwise dispose of (each a "**Transfer**") any Relevant Security (as defined below) or otherwise publicly disclose the intention to do so, or (b) establish or increase any "put equivalent position" or liquidate or decrease any "call equivalent position" with respect to any Relevant Security (in each case within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "**Exchange Act**"), and the rules and regulations thereunder) with respect to any Relevant Security or otherwise enter into any swap, derivative or other transaction or arrangement that Transfers to another, in whole or in part, any economic consequence of ownership of a Relevant Security, whether or not such transaction is to be settled by the delivery of Relevant Securities, other securities, cash or other consideration, or otherwise publicly disclose the intention to do so. As used herein, the term "**Relevant Security**" means any Share, warrant to purchase Shares or any other security of the Company or any other entity that is convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Shares or any other equity security of the Company, in each case owned beneficially or otherwise by the undersigned on the date of closing of the Public Offering or acquired by the undersigned during the Lock-Up Period.

Ex. A-1<br>

Such notice shall state the purpose for which the meeting is called and the time and the place, which may be within or without this State, where it is to be held. A copy of such notice shall be either delivered personally to or shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before such meeting. If mailed, it shall be directed to a stockholder at his address as it appears upon the records of the Corporation and upon such mailing of any such notice, the service thereof shall be complete and the time of the notice shall be to run from the date upon which such notice is deposited in the mail for transmission to such stockholder.

In the event of the transfer of stock after delivery of such notice of and prior to the holding of the meeting it shall not be necessary to deliver or mail notice of the meeting to the transferee.

Section 2.6 PURPOSE OF MEETINGS - Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

Section 2.7 QUORUM - The holders of a majority of all shares entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by statute or by the Articles of Incorporation. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until such quorum shall be present or represented.

Section 2.8 NOTICE OF ADJOURNED MEETING - When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of the adjourned meeting if the time and place to which the meeting is adjourned at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, and at the adjourned meeting any business may be transacted that might have been transacted on the original date of the meeting. If, however, after the adjournment the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as provided in this Article to each stockholder of record on the new record date.

Section 2.9 VOTING - When a quorum is present or represented at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote and represented at a meeting of stockholders in person or represented by proxy shall be sufficient to decide any questions brought before such meeting except the election of directors, which is governed by Article 3, Section 4, unless the question is one upon which by the express provision of the statutes or of the Articles of Incorporation, a different vote is required in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

Section 2.10 SHARE VOTING - A stockholder may vote at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, either in person or by proxy. Shares standing in the name of another Corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by the officer, agent or proxy designated by the bylaws of such corporate stockholder or, in the absence of any applicable bylaw, by such person or persons as the board of directors of the corporate stockholder may designate. In the absence of any such designation, or, in case of conflicting designation by the corporate stockholder, the chairman of the board, the president, any vice president, the secretary and the treasurer of the corporate stockholder, in that order, shall be presumed to be fully authorized to vote such shares. Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, personal representative, or conservator may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his name. Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by him without a transfer of such shares into his name or the name of his nominee. Shares held by or under the control of a receiver, a trustee in bankruptcy proceedings, or an assignee for the benefit of creditors may be voted by such person without the transfer thereof into his name. If shares stand of record in the names of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety or otherwise, or if two or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the same shares, unless the Secretary of the Corporation is given notice to the contrary and is furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein it is so provided, then acts with respect to voting shall have the following effect: (a) if only one votes, in person or by proxy, his act binds all; (b) if more than one vote, in person or by proxy, the act of the majority so voting binds all; (c) if more than one vote, in person or by proxy, but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, each faction is entitled to vote the share or shares in question proportionally; or (d) if the instrument or order so filed shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interest, a majority or a vote evenly split for purposes hereof shall be a majority or a vote evenly split in interest. The principles of this paragraph shall apply, insofar as possible, to execution of proxies, waivers, consents, or objections and for the purpose of ascertaining the presence of a quorum.

Section 2.11 PROXIES - Any stockholder of the Corporation, other person entitled to vote on behalf of a stockholder pursuant to law, or attorney-in-fact for a stockholder may vote the stockholder's shares in person or by proxy. Any stockholder of the Corporation, other person entitled to vote on behalf of a stockholder pursuant to law, or attorney-in-fact for a stockholder may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act for the stockholder by signing an appointment form or by electronic transmission. Any type of electronic transmission appearing to have been, or containing or accompanied by such information or obtained under such procedures to reasonably ensure that the electronic transmission was, transmitted by such person is a sufficient appointment. An appointment of a proxy is effective when received by the Secretary of the Corporation or such other officer or agent which is authorized to tabulate votes, and shall be valid for up to 6 months, unless a longer period is expressly provided in the appointment. The death or incapacity of the stockholder appointing a proxy does not affect the right of the Corporation to accept the proxy's authority unless notice of the death or incapacity is received by the secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes before the proxy exercises his authority under the appointment. An appointment of a proxy is revocable by the stockholder unless the appointment form or electronic transmission conspicuously states that it is irrevocable and the appointment is coupled with an-interest.

Section 2.12 STOCKHOLDER LIST - After fixing a record date for a meeting of stockholders, the Corporation shall prepare an alphabetical list of the names of all its stockholders who are entitled to notice of the meeting, arranged by voting group with the address of, and the number and class and series, if any, of shares held by each. The stockholders' list must be available for inspection by any stockholder for a period of ten (10) days prior to the meeting or such shorter time as exists between the record date and the meeting and continuing through the meeting at the Corporation's principal office, at a place identified in the meeting notice in the city where the meeting will be held, or at the office of the Corporation's transfer agent or registrar.

If no record date is fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders, or stockholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which the notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolutions of the Board of Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of stockholders.

The inspectors or judges, if any, shall determine the number of shares of stock outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares of stock represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots and consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate votes, ballots and consents, determine the result, and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders.

**ARTICLE III.**

**<u>DIRECTORS</u>**

Section 3.1 POWERS - The business of the Corporation shall be managed by its Board of Directors which may exercise all such power of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the Articles of Incorporation or by these Bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

Section 3.2 NUMBER OF DIRECTORS - The number of directors which shall constitute the whole board shall be set by the Board of Directors but shall never be less than one (1). The directors shall be elected at the Annual Meeting of the Stockholders except as provided in <u>Section 3.5</u> of this Article. Each director elected shall hold office until his successor is elected and qualified. Directors need not be stockholders.

Section 3.3 TERM OF OFFICE -- Each director elected shall serve until the director's successor is duly elected and qualified or until the director's earlier resignation, removal from office or death. At each Annual Meeting of Stockholders, directors shall be elected, and the directors chosen to succeed those whose terms shall have expired shall be elected to hold office for a term to expire at the next ensuing Annual Meeting of Stockholders after their election, and until their respective successors are elected and qualified.

Section 3.4 VOTING FOR DIRECTORS -- Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, each candidate for director shall be elected a director by the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to such candidate at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present; provided, however, that directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting of stockholders. For purposes of this <u>Section 3.4</u>, election by "the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast" means that the number of shares voted "for" a director's election exceeds 50% of the number of votes cast with respect to that director's election. Votes cast include votes to withhold authority in each case and exclude abstentions with respect to that director's election. If directors are to be elected by a plurality of the votes cast, stockholders shall not be permitted to vote against a candidate.

Section 3.5 VACANCIES - A vacancy or vacancies in the Board of Directors shall be deemed to exist in case of the death, resignation or removal of any directors, or if the authorized number of directors be increased, or if the stockholders fail at any annual or special meeting of stockholders at which any director or directors are elected to elect the full authorized number of directors to be voted for at that meeting. Vacancies in the Board of Directors, including those caused by an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and each director so elected shall hold office until his successor is elected at an annual or a special meeting of the stockholders.

The stockholders may elect a director or directors at any time to fill any vacancy or vacancies not filled by the directors. If the Board of Directors accepts the resignation of a director tendered to take effect at a future time, the Board or the stockholders shall have the power to elect a successor to take office when the resignation is to become effective.

No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director prior to the expiration of his term of office.

Any director may be removed at any time, with or without cause, at meeting of the stockholders, provided that notice of the meeting states that the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the meeting is the removal of the director.

Section 3.6 RESIGNATION OF DIRECTORS

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) A director may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Corporation, the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Board. Such resignation shall take effect when the notice is delivered unless the notice specifies a later effective date or an effective date determined upon the subsequent happening of an event. If a resignation is made effective at a later date or upon the subsequent happening of an event, the Board of Directors may fill the pending vacancy before the effective date if they provide that the successor does not take office until the effective date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) In an uncontested election, if a nominee for director does not receive the vote of at least the majority of the votes cast at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, the director will promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors. For purposes of this bylaw, a majority of votes cast means that the number of shares voted "for" a director's election exceeds 50% of the number of votes cast with respect to that director's election. Votes cast include votes to withhold authority in each case and exclude abstentions with respect to that director's election. The Nominating and Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the Board of Directors as to whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board of Directors will act on the tendered resignation, taking into account the Nominating and Governance Committee's recommendation, and publicly disclose (by a press release, a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other broadly disseminated means of communication) its decision regarding the tendered resignation and the rationale behind the decision within 90 days from the date of the certification of the election results. The Nominating and Governance Committee in making its recommendation, and the Board of Directors in making its decision, may each consider any factors or other information that it considers appropriate and relevant. The director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee or the decision of the Board of Directors with respect to his or her resignation. If a director's resignation is not accepted by the Board of Directors, such director will continue to serve until the next annual meeting and until his or her successor is duly elected, or his or her earlier resignation or removal. If a director's resignation is accepted by the Board of Directors, then the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may fill any resulting vacancy pursuant to the provisions of <u>Section 3.5</u> above or may decrease the size of the Board of Directors pursuant to the provisions of <u>Section 3.2</u> above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) To be eligible to be a nominee for election or reelection as a director of the Corporation, a person must deliver in accordance with the time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under Article Two, Section 15 to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation a written agreement (in the form provided by the secretary upon written request) that such person will abide by the requirements of <u>Section 3.6(b)</u> above.

Section 11.1. <u>Indemnification Respecting Third-Party Claims</u>. The Corporation, to the full extent and in a manner permitted by Wyoming law as in effect from time to time, shall indemnify, in accordance with the provisions of this Article, any person (including the heirs, executors, administrators or estate of any such person) who was or is made a party to or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (including any appeal thereof), whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation or by any Corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which the Corporation owns, directly or indirectly through one or more other entities, a majority of the voting power or otherwise possesses a similar degree of control), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, member, manager, partner, trustee, fiduciary, employee or agent (a "Subsidiary Officer") of another Corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (any such entity for which a Subsidiary Officer so serves, an "Associated Entity"), against expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person is not liable pursuant to the WBCA, or acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided, however, that (i) the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify a person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or a Subsidiary Officer of an Associated Entity against expenses incurred in connection with an action, suit, proceeding or investigation to which such person is threatened to be made a party but does not become a party unless the incurring of such expenses was authorized by or under the authority of the Board of Directors and (ii) the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify against any amount paid in settlement unless the Board of Directors has consented to such settlement. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction or upon a plea of *nolo contendere* or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person (i) is liable pursuant to the WBCA or (ii) did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that such person had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.1, a person shall not be entitled, as a matter of right, to indemnification pursuant to this Section 11.1 against costs or expenses incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding commenced by such person against the Corporation or any Associated Entity or any person who is or was a director, officer, fiduciary, employee or agent of the Corporation or a Subsidiary Officer of any Associated Entity (including, without limitation, any action, suit or proceeding commenced by such person to enforce such person's rights under this Article, unless and only to the extent that such person is successful on the merits of such claim), but such indemnification may be provided by the Corporation in a specific case as permitted by Section 11.7 below in this Article.

Section 11.2. <u>Indemnification Respecting Derivative Claims</u>. The Corporation, to the full extent and in a manner permitted by Wyoming law as in effect from time to time, shall indemnify, in accordance with the provisions of this Article, any person (including the heirs, executors, administrators or estate of any such person) who was or is made a party to or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit (including any appeal thereof) brought in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Subsidiary Officer of an Associated Entity, against expenses (including attorneys' fees and disbursements) and costs actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person is not liable pursuant to the WBCA, or acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom to be liable to the Corporation unless, and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses and costs as the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper; *provided*, *however*, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or a Subsidiary Officer of an Associated Entity against expenses incurred in connection with an action or suit to which such person is threatened to be made a party but does not become a party unless the incurrence of such expenses was authorized by or under the authority of the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.2, a person shall not be entitled, as a matter of right, to indemnification pursuant to this Section 11.2 against costs and expenses incurred in connection with any action or suit in the right of the Corporation commenced by such person, but such indemnification may be provided by the Corporation in any specific case as permitted by Section 11.7 below in this Article.

Section 11.3. <u>Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification</u>. Any indemnification to be provided under either of Section 11.1 or 11.2 above in this Article (unless ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or advanced as provided in Section 11.5 of this Article) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper under the circumstances. Such determination must be made (a) by the stockholders, (b) by the Board of Directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding, or (c) if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion. In the event a request for indemnification is made by any person referred to in Section 11.1 or 11.2 above in this Article, the Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such determination to be made not later than sixty (60) days after such request is made after the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding.

Section 11.4. <u>Right to Indemnification upon Successful Defense and for Service as a Witness</u>. (a) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article, to the extent that a present or former director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in either of Section 11.1 or 11.2 above in this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees and disbursements) and costs actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) To the extent any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or a Subsidiary Officer of an Associated Entity has served or prepared to serve as a witness in, but is not a party to, any action, suit or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory or investigative in nature), including any investigation by any legislative or regulatory body or by any securities or commodities exchange of which the Corporation or an Associated Entity is a member or to the jurisdiction of which it is subject, by reason of his or her services as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or his or her service as a Subsidiary Officer of an Associated Entity (assuming such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Subsidiary Officer of such Associated Entity), the Corporation may indemnify such person against expenses (including attorneys' fees and disbursements) and out-of-pocket costs actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith and, if the Corporation has determined to so indemnify such person, shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide such indemnity within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Corporation from such person of a statement requesting such indemnification, averring such service and reasonably evidencing such expenses and costs; it being understood, however, that the Corporation shall have no obligation under this Article to compensate such person for such person's time or efforts so expended.

Section 11.5. <u>Advance of Expenses</u>. (a) Expenses incurred by any present or former director or officer of the Corporation in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding shall, to the extent permitted by law, be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking in writing by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized by this Article.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Expenses and costs incurred by any other person referred to in Section 11.1 or 11.2 above in this Article in defending a civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by or under the authority of the Board of Directors upon receipt of an undertaking in writing by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation in respect of such costs and expenses as authorized by this Article and subject to any limitations or qualifications provided by or under the authority of the Board of Directors.

Section 11.6. <u>Notice of Action; Assumption of the Defense</u>. Promptly after receipt by any person referred to in Section 11.1, 11.2 or 11.5 above in this Article of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or advancement of expenses may be sought under any such Section, such person (the "Indemnitee") shall notify the Corporation thereof. The Corporation shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding and, to the extent that it may wish, except in the case of a criminal action or proceeding, to assume the defense thereof with counsel chosen by it. If the Corporation shall have notified the Indemnitee of its election so to assume the defense, it shall be a condition of any further obligation of the Corporation under such Sections to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to such action, suit or proceeding that the Indemnitee shall have provided an undertaking in writing to repay all legal or other costs and expenses subsequently incurred by the Corporation in conducting such defense if it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified in respect of the costs and expenses of such action, suit or proceeding by the Corporation as authorized by this Article. Notwithstanding anything in this Article to the contrary, after the Corporation shall have notified the Indemnitee of its election so to assume the defense, the Corporation shall not be liable under such Sections for any legal or other costs or expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such action, suit or proceeding, unless (a) the parties thereto include both (i) the Corporation and the Indemnitee, or (ii) the Indemnitee and other persons who may be entitled to seek indemnification or advancement of expenses under any such Section and with respect to whom the Corporation shall have elected to assume the defense, and (b) the counsel chosen by the Corporation to conduct the defense shall have determined, in their sole discretion, that, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict of interest exists that would prevent them from representing both (i) the Corporation and the Indemnitee, or (ii) the Indemnitee and such other persons, as the case may be, in which case the Indemnitee may retain separate counsel at the expense of the Corporation to the extent provided in such Sections above in this Article.

Section 11.7. <u>Indemnification Not Exclusive</u>. The provision of indemnification or the advancement of expenses and costs to any person under this Article, or the entitlement of any person to indemnification or advancement of expenses and costs under this Article does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Articles of Incorporation or any Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in his official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding his office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to the WBCA or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to Section 11.5 of this Article may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action.

Section 11.8. <u>Corporate Obligations; Reliance</u>. The provisions of Sections 11.1, 11.2, 11.4(a) and 11.5(a) above of this Article shall be deemed to create a binding obligation on the part of the Corporation to the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Corporation, and the persons who are serving at the request of the Corporation as Subsidiary Officers of Associated Entities, on the effective date of this Article and persons thereafter elected as directors and officers or retained as employees or agents, or serving at the request of the Corporation as Subsidiary Officers of Associated Entities (including persons who served as directors, officers, employees and agents, or served at the request of the Corporation as Subsidiary Officers of Associated Entities, on or after such date but who are no longer so serving at the time they present claims for advancement of expenses or indemnity), and such persons in acting in their capacities as directors, officers, employees or agents of the Corporation, or serving at the request of the Corporation as Subsidiary Officers of any Associated Entity, shall be entitled to rely on such provisions of this Article.

Section 11.9. <u>Further Changes</u>. Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Article, nor the adoption of any provision of the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of such provisions in respect of any act or omission or any matter occurring prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision regardless of when any cause of action, suit or claim relating to any such matter accrued or matured or was commenced, and such provision shall continue to have effect in respect of such act, omission or matter as if such provision had not been so amended or repealed or if a provision inconsistent therewith had not been so adopted.

Section 11.10. <u>Successors</u>. The right, if any, of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Subsidiary Officer of an Associated Entity, to indemnification or advancement of expenses under Sections 11.1 through 11.9 above in this Article shall continue after he shall have ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent or a Subsidiary Officer of an Associated Entity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, distributees, executors, administrators and other legal representatives of such person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Any insurance or other financial arrangement made on behalf of a person pursuant to this section may be provided by the Corporation or other person approved by the Board of Directors, even if all or part of the other person's stock or other securities is owned by the Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) In the absence of fraud or violation of any law or statute: (i) the decision of the Board of Directors as to the propriety of the terms and conditions of any insurance or other financial arrangement made pursuant to this section and the choice of the person to provide the insurance or other financial arrangement is conclusive; and (ii) the insurance or other financial arrangement (A) is not void or voidable, and (B) does not subject any director approving it to personal liability for his action, even if, in either case, a director approving the insurance or other financial arrangement is a beneficiary of the insurance or other financial arrangement.

Section 11.12. <u>Definitions of Certain Terms</u>. For purposes of this Article, references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; references to "serving at the request of the Corporation" shall include any service as a director, officer employee or agent of the Corporation or as a Subsidiary Officer of any Associated Entity which service imposes duties on, or involves services by, such person with respect to any employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation" as referred to in this Article.

The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise on the Trading Day of receipt of such notice. **The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) <u>Exercise Price</u>. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $[•], subject to adjustment hereunder (the "<u>Exercise Price</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) <u>Cashless Exercise</u>. If at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder, then this Warrant may only be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a "cashless exercise" in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

(A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of "regular trading hours" (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (" <u>Bloomberg</u> ") as of the time of the Holder's execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during "regular trading hours" on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of "regular trading hours" on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of "regular trading hours" on such Trading Day;

(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

(X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d) <u>Mechanics of Exercise</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. <u>Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise</u>. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder's or its designee's balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system ("<u>DWAC</u>") if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company's share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the "<u>Warrant Share Delivery Date</u>"). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the third Trading Day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, "<u>Standard Settlement Period</u>" means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company's primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Notice(s) of Exercise delivered on or prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Initial Exercise Date, which may be delivered at any time after the time of execution of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agrees to deliver the Warrant Shares subject to such notice(s) by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Initial Exercise Date and the Initial Exercise Date shall be the Warrant Share Delivery Date for purposes hereunder, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received by such Warrant Share Delivery Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii. <u>Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise</u>. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii. <u>Rescission Rights</u>. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iv. <u>Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise</u>. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder's brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a "<u>Buy-In</u>"), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;v. <u>No Fractional Shares or Scrip</u>. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;vi. <u>Charges, Taxes and Expenses</u>. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;vii. <u>Closing of Books</u>. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e) <u>Holder's Exercise Limitations</u>. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder's Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder's Affiliates (such Persons, "<u>Attribution Parties</u>")), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder's determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company's most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The "<u>Beneficial Ownership Limitation</u>" shall be 4.99% (or, upon election by a Holder prior to the issuance of any Warrants, 9.99%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61<sup>st</sup> day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

<u>Section 3</u>. <u>Certain</u> <u>Adjustments</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) <u>Stock Dividends and Splits</u>. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) <u>[Reserved]</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) <u>Subsequent Rights Offerings</u>. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the "<u>Purchase Rights</u>"), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d) <u>Pro Rata Distributions</u>. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise other than cash (including, without limitation, any distribution of stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a "<u>Distribution</u>"), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (<u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that, to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e) <u>Fundamental Transaction</u>. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company or any Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of greater than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock or greater than 50% of the voting power of the common equity of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires greater than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or greater than 50% of the voting power of the common equity of the Company (each a "<u>Fundamental Transaction</u>"), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the "<u>Alternate Consideration</u>") receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder's option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company's control, including not approved by the Company's Board of Directors, the Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that if holders of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received common stock of the Successor Entity (which Successor Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. "<u>Black Scholes Value</u>" means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the "OV" function on Bloomberg, L.P. ("<u>Bloomberg</u>") determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to 100%, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction, (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or such other consideration) within the later of (i) five Business Days of the Holder's election and (ii) the date of consummation of the Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the "<u>Successor Entity</u>") to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall be added to the term "Company" under this Warrant (so that from and after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the "Company" shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of this Section 3(e) regardless of (i) whether the Company has sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock for the issuance of Warrant Shares and/or (ii) whether a Fundamental Transaction occurs prior to the Initial Exercise Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f) <u>Calculations</u>. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g) <u>Notice to Holder</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. <u>Adjustment to Exercise Price</u>.

This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer.

The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the "<u>Warrant Register</u>"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.\

<u>Section 5</u>. <u>Miscellaneous</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) <u>No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash</u>. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a "cashless exercise" pursuant to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) <u>Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant</u>. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) <u>Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc</u>. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d) <u>Authorized Shares</u>.

14<br>

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e) <u>Governing Law</u>. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or their respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, County of New York for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for their reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f) <u>Restrictions</u>. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g) <u>Nonwaiver and Expenses</u>. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder's rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;h) <u>Notices</u>. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without limitation, any Notice of Exercise, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company, at [•], Attention: **[•]**, email address: [•], or such other email address or address as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each Holder at the e-mail address or address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this Section prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (ii) the next Trading Day after the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the second Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i) <u>Limitation of Liability</u>. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;j) <u>Remedies</u>. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;k) <u>Successors and Assigns</u>. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;l) <u>Amendment</u>. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company, on the one hand, and the Holder, on the other hand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;m) <u>Severability</u>. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;n) <u>Headings</u>. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

**GENERAL ENTERPRISE VENTURES, INC.**

**<u>COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT</u>**

General Enterprise Ventures, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (together with any corporation which shall succeed to or assume the obligations of General Enterprise Ventures, Inc. hereunder, the "<u>Company</u>"), hereby certifies that, for value received, Bradley Richmond, an individual (the "<u>Holder</u>"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company at any time during the Exercise Period (as defined in <u>Section 9</u>) up to 600,000 fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined in <u>Section 9</u>), at a purchase price per share equal to the Exercise Price (as defined in <u>Section 9</u>). The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Common Stock Purchase Warrant (this "<u>Warrant</u>") is exercisable and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided herein.

1. <u>DEFINITIONS</u>. Certain terms are used in this Warrant as specifically defined in <u>Section 9</u>.

2. <u>EXERCISE OF WARRANT</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1. <u>Exercise</u>. This Warrant may be exercised prior to its expiration pursuant to <u>Section 2.5</u> hereof by the Holder at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period, by submitting the form of subscription attached hereto (the "<u>Exercise Notice</u>") duly executed by the Holder, to the Company at its principal office, indicating whether the Holder is electing to purchase a specified number of shares by paying the Aggregate Exercise Price as provided in <u>Section 2.2</u> or is electing to exercise this Warrant as to a specified number of shares pursuant to the net exercise provisions of <u>Section 2.3</u>. On or before the first Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by electronic mail an acknowledgement of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice. Subject to <u>Section 2.4</u>, this Warrant shall be deemed exercised for all purposes as of the close of business on the day on which the Holder has delivered the Exercise Notice to the Company. The Aggregate Exercise Price, if any, shall be paid by wire transfer to the Company within five (5) Business Days of the date of exercise and prior to the time the Company issues the certificates evidencing the shares issuable upon such exercise. In the event this Warrant is not exercised in full, the Company may, at its expense, require the Holder, after such partial exercise, to promptly return this Warrant to the Company and the Company will forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder or as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock equal (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) for which this Warrant shall have been exercised.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2. <u>Payment of Exercise Price by Wire Transfer</u>. If the Holder elects to purchase a specified number of shares by paying the Aggregate Exercise Price, the Holder shall pay such amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Company in its acknowledgement of receipt of such Exercise Notice pursuant to <u>Section 2.1</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3. <u>Net Exercise</u>. If a registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock that are the subject of the Notice of Exercise (the "<u>Unavailable Warrant Shares</u>") is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant Shares to the public or upon exercise of this Warrant in connection with a Fundamental Transaction, the Holder may elect to exercise this Warrant by receiving shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares determined pursuant to the following formula:

X = <u>Y (A - B)</u> <br> A

where,

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| X = | the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder; |
| Y = | the number of shares of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is to be exercised (as indicated on the Exercise Notice); |
| A = | VWAP for the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of exercise; and |
| B = | the Exercise Price. |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4. <u>Antitrust Notification</u>. If the Holder determines, in its sole judgment upon the advice of counsel, that the issuance of any Warrant Shares pursuant to the terms hereof would be subject to the provisions of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "<u>HSR Act</u>"), the Company shall file as soon as practicable after the date on which the Company receives notice from the Holder of the applicability of the HSR Act and a request to so file with the United States Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice the notification and report form required to be filed by it pursuant to the HSR Act in connection with such issuance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5. <u>Termination</u>. This Warrant shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) exercise in full or (ii) the expiration of the Exercise Period.

3. <u>DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES ON EXERCISE</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. <u>Delivery of Exercise Shares</u>. As soon as practicable after any exercise of this Warrant and in any event within two (2) Trading Days thereafter (such date, the "<u>Exercise Share Delivery Date</u>"), the Company shall, at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue or stamp taxes), cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder may direct, a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (which number shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share in the event any fractional share may otherwise be issuable upon such exercise and the Company shall pay a cash adjustment to the Holder in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price) to which the Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, in such denominations as may be requested by the Holder, which certificate or certificates shall be free of restrictive and trading legends (except for any such legends as may be required under the Securities Act). In lieu of delivering physical certificates for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon any exercise of this Warrant, provided the Warrant Shares are not restricted securities and the Company's transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company ("<u>DTC</u>") Fast Automated Securities Transfer program or a similar program, upon request of the Holder, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit such shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant to the Holder (or its designee), by crediting the account of the Holder's (or such designee's) broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (provided that the same time periods herein as for stock certificates shall apply) as instructed by the Holder (or its designee). The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, "<u>Standard Settlement Period</u>" means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company's primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2. [Reserved.]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3. <u>Charges, Taxes and Expenses</u>. Issuance of Exercise Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Exercise Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Exercise Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that in the event Exercise Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto (the "<u>Assignment Form</u>") duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

4. <u>CERTAIN ADJUSTMENT</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1. <u>Stock Dividends and Splits</u>. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (a) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (b) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this <u>Section 5.1</u> shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2 [Reserved.]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.3 <u>Fundamental Transaction</u>. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (a) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (b) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (c) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (d) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (each, a "<u>Fundamental Transaction</u>"), then, upon the closing of a Fundamental Transaction and payment of the exercise price therefore (including at the election of the Holder by cashless exercise), the Holder shall receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the "<u>Alternate Consideration</u>") receivable as a result of such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon exercise of this Warrant upon the closing of such Fundamental Transaction. The foregoing notwithstanding, if the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange, in each case, into another security of the Company, this Warrant shall remain outstanding and the Holder shall be entitled to receive the Alternative Consideration upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant and the payment of the exercise price therefor. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this <u>Section 5.3</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.4 <u>Adjustment to Exercise Price Upon Issuance of Common Stock</u>. If the Company shall, at any time after the Issue Date, other than pursuant to a Qualified Financing, issue or sell any shares of Common Stock (other than Exempted Securities), whether directly or indirectly by way of Convertible Securities or any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Convertible Securities ("<u>Additional</u> <u>Shares of Common Stock</u>"), with any term that the Holder reasonably believes is more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that the Holder reasonably believes was not similarly provided to the Holder in this Warrant, then (i) the Holder, after receipt of written notice thereof from the Company, shall notify the Company of such additional or more favorable term within five (5) Business Days of the issuance or amendment (as applicable) of the respective security or, if later, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the previously described notice, and (ii) such term, at Holder's option, shall become a part of this Warrant (regardless of whether the Company or Holder complied with the notification provision of this Warrant or the Subscription Agreement). The types of terms contained in another security that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include, but are not limited to, terms addressing conversion or exercise discounts, conversion or exercise lookback periods, and discounts to the effective price per share of a Qualified Financing. If Holder elects to have the term become a part of this Warrant, then the Company shall immediately deliver acknowledgment of such adjustment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder (the "Acknowledgment") within five (5) Business Days of Company's receipt of request from Holder (the "Adjustment Deadline"), provided that Company's failure to timely provide the Acknowledgement shall not affect the automatic amendments contemplated hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.5 <u>Calculations</u>. All calculations under this <u>Section 5</u> shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this <u>Section 5</u>, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding at the close of the Trading Day on or, if not applicable, most recently preceding, such given date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.6 <u>Notice to Holder</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Adjustment to Exercise Price</u>. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this <u>Section 5</u>, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder</u>. If (i) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock; (ii) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock; (iii) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (iv) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; or (v) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. Subject to applicable law, the Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of the notice described in this <u>Section 5.6</u> is not intended to and shall not bestow upon the Holder any voting rights whatsoever with respect to outstanding unexercised Warrants.

5. <u>NO IMPAIRMENT</u>. The Company will not, by amendment of the Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable on the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor on such exercise and (b) will take all such action as may be resonably necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of stock on the exercise of this Warrant from time to time outstanding.

6. <u>NOTICES OF RECORD DATE</u>. In the event of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person or any other Change of Control; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company; then, and in each such event, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder a notice specifying (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is anticipated to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable on such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date specified in such notice on which any such action is to be taken.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.1. <u>Reservation of Stock Issuable on Exercise of Warrant</u>.

The Company shall, from time to time in accordance with Chapter 78 of the Wyoming Revised Statutes, increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock or take other effective action if at any time the unissued number of authorized shares shall not be sufficient to satisfy the Company's obligations under this <u>Section 8</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.2. <u>Regulatory Compliance</u>. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of exercise of the Warrant Shares require registration or listing with or approval of any Governmental Authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon exercise, the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.3. <u>Stockholder Approval</u>.

"<u>Warrant Shares</u>" means collectively the shares of Common Stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with its terms, as such number may be adjusted pursuant to the provisions thereof.

9. <u>LIMITATION ON BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall not be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock or other securities (together with Common Stock, "<u>Equity Interests</u>") upon exercise of this Warrant to the extent (but only to the extent) that such exercise or receipt would cause the Holder Group to become, directly or indirectly, a "beneficial owner" (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of a number of Equity Interests of a class that is registered under the Exchange Act which exceeds the Maximum Percentage (as defined below) of the Equity Interests of such class that are outstanding at such time. Any purported delivery of Equity Interests in connection with the exercise of the Warrant prior to the termination of this restriction in accordance herewith shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in the Holder Group becoming the beneficial owner of more than the Maximum Percentage of the Equity Interests of a class that is registered under the Exchange Act that is outstanding at such time. If any delivery of Equity Interests owed to the Holder following exercise of this Warrant is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this limitation, the Company's obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and the Company shall deliver such Equity Interests as promptly as practicable after the Holder gives notice to the Company that such delivery would not result in such limitation being triggered or upon termination of the restriction in accordance with the terms hereof. To the extent limitations contained in this <u>Section 10</u> apply, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be the sole responsibility and in the sole determination of the Holder, and the submission of an Exercise Notice shall be deemed to constitute the Holder's determination that the issuance of the full number of Warrant Shares requested in the Exercise Notice is permitted hereunder, and neither the Company nor any Warrant agent shall have any obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For purposes of this <u>Section 10</u>, (i) the term "<u>Maximum Percentage</u>" shall mean 4.99%; provided, that if at any time after the date hereof the Holder Group beneficially owns in excess of 4.99% of any class of Equity Interests in the Company that is registered under the Exchange Act (excluding any Equity Interests deemed beneficially owned by virtue of this Warrant or the Note), then the Maximum Percentage shall automatically increase to 9.99% so long as the Holder Group owns in excess of 4.99% of such class of Equity Interests (and shall, for the avoidance of doubt, automatically decrease to 4.99% upon the Holder Group ceasing to own in excess of 4.99% of such class of Equity Interests); and (ii) the term "<u>Holder Group</u>" shall mean the Holder plus any other Person with which the Holder is considered to be part of a group under Section 13 of the Exchange Act or with which the Holder otherwise files reports under Sections 13 and/or 16 of the Exchange Act. In determining the number of Equity Interests of a particular class outstanding at any point in time, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Equity Interests of such class as reflected in (x) the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) a more recent notice by the Company or its transfer agent to the Holder setting forth the number of Equity Interests of such class then outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall, within one (1) Trading Day of such request, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Equity Interests of any class then outstanding. Anything herein to the contrary, any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this <u>Section 10</u> shall be construed, corrected and implemented in a manner so as to effectuate the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained.

10. <u>REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER OF WARRANT</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.1. <u>Registration of Warrant</u>. The Company shall register and record transfers, exchanges, reissuances and cancellations of this Warrant, upon the records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose, in the name of the record holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary. The Company shall be entitled to rely and held harmless in acting or refraining from acting in reliance upon, any notices, instructions or documents it believes in good faith to be from an authorized representative of the Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.2 <u>Transferability</u>. This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form of assignment (the "<u>Assignment Notice</u>") attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. The Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of the transferred Warrant under the Securities Act. Upon such surrender, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such Assignment Notice, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. This Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Exercise Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.3. <u>New Warrants</u>. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with <u>Section 11.2</u>, as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for this Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Exercise Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

11. <u>LOSS, THEFT, DESTRUCTION OR MUTILATION OF WARRANT</u>. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Exercise Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of this Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

12. [Reserved.]

13. <u>NO RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER</u>. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Exercise Shares.

14. <u>NOTICES</u>. All notices, requests, demands and other communications that are required or may be given pursuant to the terms of this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered (i) on the date of delivery when delivered by hand on a Business Day during normal business hours or, if delivered on a day that is not a Business Day or after normal business hours, then on the next Business Day, (ii) on the date of transmission when sent by facsimile transmission or email during normal business hours on a Business Day with telephone confirmation of receipt or, if transmitted on a day that is not a Business Day or after normal business hours, then on the next Business Day, or (iii) on the second Business Day after the date of dispatch when sent by a reputable courier service that maintains records of receipt. The addresses for notice shall be as set forth in the Subscription Agreement.

15. <u>CONSENT TO AMENDMENTS</u>. Any term of this Warrant may be amended, and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or compliance therewith may be waived, only if the Company shall have obtained the written consent (and not without such written consent) to such amendment, action or waiver from the Holder. No course of dealing between the Company and the Holder nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any rights of the Holder.

16. <u>MISCELLANEOUS</u>. In case any provision of this Warrant shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, or partially invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the provision shall be enforced to the extent, if any, that it may legally be enforced and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. If any provision of this Warrant is found to conflict with the Subscription Agreement, the provisions of this Warrant shall prevail. If any provision of this Warrant is found to conflict with the Note, the provisions of the Note shall prevail. THIS WARRANT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF WYOMING EXCLUDING CHOICE-OF-LAW PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW OF SUCH STATE THAT WOULD PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN SUCH STATE. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof.

General Enterprise Ventures, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (together with any corporation which shall succeed to or assume the obligations of General Enterprise Ventures, Inc. hereunder, the "<u>Company</u>"), hereby certifies that, for value received, Bradley Richmond, an individual (the "<u>Holder</u>"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company at any time during the Exercise Period (as defined in <u>Section 9</u>) up to 1,000,000 fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined in <u>Section 9</u>), at a purchase price per share equal to the Exercise Price (as defined in <u>Section 9</u>). The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Common Stock Purchase Warrant (this "<u>Warrant</u>") is exercisable and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided herein.

1. <u>DEFINITIONS</u>. Certain terms are used in this Warrant as specifically defined in <u>Section 9</u>.

2. <u>EXERCISE OF WARRANT</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1. <u>Exercise</u>. This Warrant may be exercised prior to its expiration pursuant to <u>Section 2.5</u> hereof by the Holder at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period, by submitting the form of subscription attached hereto (the "<u>Exercise Notice</u>") duly executed by the Holder, to the Company at its principal office, indicating whether the Holder is electing to purchase a specified number of shares by paying the Aggregate Exercise Price as provided in <u>Section 2.2</u> or is electing to exercise this Warrant as to a specified number of shares pursuant to the net exercise provisions of <u>Section 2.3</u>. On or before the first Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by electronic mail an acknowledgement of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice. Subject to <u>Section 2.4</u>, this Warrant shall be deemed exercised for all purposes as of the close of business on the day on which the Holder has delivered the Exercise Notice to the Company. The Aggregate Exercise Price, if any, shall be paid by wire transfer to the Company within five (5) Business Days of the date of exercise and prior to the time the Company issues the certificates evidencing the shares issuable upon such exercise. In the event this Warrant is not exercised in full, the Company may, at its expense, require the Holder, after such partial exercise, to promptly return this Warrant to the Company and the Company will forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder or as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock equal (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) for which this Warrant shall have been exercised.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2. <u>Payment of Exercise Price by Wire Transfer</u>. If the Holder elects to purchase a specified number of shares by paying the Aggregate Exercise Price, the Holder shall pay such amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Company in its acknowledgement of receipt of such Exercise Notice pursuant to <u>Section 2.1</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3. <u>Net Exercise</u>. If a registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock that are the subject of the Notice of Exercise (the "<u>Unavailable Warrant Shares</u>") is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant Shares to the public or upon exercise of this Warrant in connection with a Fundamental Transaction, the Holder may elect to exercise this Warrant by receiving shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares determined pursuant to the following formula:

X = <u>Y (A - B)</u> <br> A

where,

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| X = | the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder; |
| Y = | the number of shares of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is to be exercised (as indicated on the Exercise Notice); |
| A = | VWAP for the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of exercise; and |
| B = | the Exercise Price. |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4. <u>Antitrust Notification</u>. If the Holder determines, in its sole judgment upon the advice of counsel, that the issuance of any Warrant Shares pursuant to the terms hereof would be subject to the provisions of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "<u>HSR Act</u>"), the Company shall file as soon as practicable after the date on which the Company receives notice from the Holder of the applicability of the HSR Act and a request to so file with the United States Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice the notification and report form required to be filed by it pursuant to the HSR Act in connection with such issuance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5. <u>Termination</u>. This Warrant shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) exercise in full or (ii) the expiration of the Exercise Period.

3. <u>DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES ON EXERCISE</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. <u>Delivery of Exercise Shares</u>. As soon as practicable after any exercise of this Warrant and in any event within two (2) Trading Days thereafter (such date, the "<u>Exercise Share Delivery Date</u>"), the Company shall, at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue or stamp taxes), cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder may direct, a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (which number shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share in the event any fractional share may otherwise be issuable upon such exercise and the Company shall pay a cash adjustment to the Holder in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price) to which the Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, in such denominations as may be requested by the Holder, which certificate or certificates shall be free of restrictive and trading legends (except for any such legends as may be required under the Securities Act). In lieu of delivering physical certificates for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon any exercise of this Warrant, provided the Warrant Shares are not restricted securities and the Company's transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company ("<u>DTC</u>") Fast Automated Securities Transfer program or a similar program, upon request of the Holder, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit such shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant to the Holder (or its designee), by crediting the account of the Holder's (or such designee's) broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (provided that the same time periods herein as for stock certificates shall apply) as instructed by the Holder (or its designee). The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, "<u>Standard Settlement Period</u>" means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company's primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2. [Reserved.]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3. <u>Charges, Taxes and Expenses</u>. Issuance of Exercise Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Exercise Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Exercise Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that in the event Exercise Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto (the "<u>Assignment Form</u>") duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

4. <u>CERTAIN ADJUSTMENT</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1. <u>Stock Dividends and Splits</u>. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (a) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (b) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this <u>Section 5.1</u> shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2 [Reserved.]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.3 <u>Fundamental Transaction</u>. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (a) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (b) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (c) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (d) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (each, a "<u>Fundamental Transaction</u>"), then, upon the closing of a Fundamental Transaction and payment of the exercise price therefore (including at the election of the Holder by cashless exercise), the Holder shall receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the "<u>Alternate Consideration</u>") receivable as a result of such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon exercise of this Warrant upon the closing of such Fundamental Transaction. The foregoing notwithstanding, if the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange, in each case, into another security of the Company, this Warrant shall remain outstanding and the Holder shall be entitled to receive the Alternative Consideration upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant and the payment of the exercise price therefor. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this <u>Section 5.3</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.4 <u>Adjustment to Exercise Price Upon Issuance of Common Stock</u>. If the Company shall, at any time after the Issue Date, other than pursuant to a Qualified Financing, issue or sell any shares of Common Stock (other than Exempted Securities), whether directly or indirectly by way of Convertible Securities or any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Convertible Securities ("<u>Additional</u> <u>Shares of Common Stock</u>"), with any term that the Holder reasonably believes is more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that the Holder reasonably believes was not similarly provided to the Holder in this Warrant, then (i) the Holder, after receipt of written notice thereof from the Company, shall notify the Company of such additional or more favorable term within five (5) Business Days of the issuance or amendment (as applicable) of the respective security or, if later, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the previously described notice, and (ii) such term, at Holder's option, shall become a part of this Warrant (regardless of whether the Company or Holder complied with the notification provision of this Warrant or the Subscription Agreement). The types of terms contained in another security that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include, but are not limited to, terms addressing conversion or exercise discounts, conversion or exercise lookback periods, and discounts to the effective price per share of a Qualified Financing. If Holder elects to have the term become a part of this Warrant, then the Company shall immediately deliver acknowledgment of such adjustment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder (the "Acknowledgment") within five (5) Business Days of Company's receipt of request from Holder (the "Adjustment Deadline"), provided that Company's failure to timely provide the Acknowledgement shall not affect the automatic amendments contemplated hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.5 <u>Calculations</u>. All calculations under this <u>Section 5</u> shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this <u>Section 5</u>, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding at the close of the Trading Day on or, if not applicable, most recently preceding, such given date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.6 <u>Notice to Holder</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Adjustment to Exercise Price</u>. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this <u>Section 5</u>, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

Subject to applicable law, the Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of the notice described in this <u>Section 5.6</u> is not intended to and shall not bestow upon the Holder any voting rights whatsoever with respect to outstanding unexercised Warrants.

5. <u>NO IMPAIRMENT</u>. The Company will not, by amendment of the Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable on the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor on such exercise and (b) will take all such action as may be resonably necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of stock on the exercise of this Warrant from time to time outstanding.

6. <u>NOTICES OF RECORD DATE</u>. In the event of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person or any other Change of Control; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.2. <u>Regulatory Compliance</u>.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall not be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock or other securities (together with Common Stock, "<u>Equity Interests</u>") upon exercise of this Warrant to the extent (but only to the extent) that such exercise or receipt would cause the Holder Group to become, directly or indirectly, a "beneficial owner" (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of a number of Equity Interests of a class that is registered under the Exchange Act which exceeds the Maximum Percentage (as defined below) of the Equity Interests of such class that are outstanding at such time. Any purported delivery of Equity Interests in connection with the exercise of the Warrant prior to the termination of this restriction in accordance herewith shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in the Holder Group becoming the beneficial owner of more than the Maximum Percentage of the Equity Interests of a class that is registered under the Exchange Act that is outstanding at such time. If any delivery of Equity Interests owed to the Holder following exercise of this Warrant is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this limitation, the Company's obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and the Company shall deliver such Equity Interests as promptly as practicable after the Holder gives notice to the Company that such delivery would not result in such limitation being triggered or upon termination of the restriction in accordance with the terms hereof. To the extent limitations contained in this <u>Section 10</u> apply, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be the sole responsibility and in the sole determination of the Holder, and the submission of an Exercise Notice shall be deemed to constitute the Holder's determination that the issuance of the full number of Warrant Shares requested in the Exercise Notice is permitted hereunder, and neither the Company nor any Warrant agent shall have any obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For purposes of this <u>Section 10</u>, (i) the term "<u>Maximum Percentage</u>" shall mean 4.99%; provided, that if at any time after the date hereof the Holder Group beneficially owns in excess of 4.99% of any class of Equity Interests in the Company that is registered under the Exchange Act (excluding any Equity Interests deemed beneficially owned by virtue of this Warrant or the Note), then the Maximum Percentage shall automatically increase to 9.99% so long as the Holder Group owns in excess of 4.99% of such class of Equity Interests (and shall, for the avoidance of doubt, automatically decrease to 4.99% upon the Holder Group ceasing to own in excess of 4.99% of such class of Equity Interests); and (ii) the term "<u>Holder Group</u>" shall mean the Holder plus any other Person with which the Holder is considered to be part of a group under Section 13 of the Exchange Act or with which the Holder otherwise files reports under Sections 13 and/or 16 of the Exchange Act. In determining the number of Equity Interests of a particular class outstanding at any point in time, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Equity Interests of such class as reflected in (x) the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) a more recent notice by the Company or its transfer agent to the Holder setting forth the number of Equity Interests of such class then outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall, within one (1) Trading Day of such request, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Equity Interests of any class then outstanding. Anything herein to the contrary, any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this <u>Section 10</u> shall be construed, corrected and implemented in a manner so as to effectuate the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained.

10. <u>REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER OF WARRANT</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.1. <u>Registration of Warrant</u>. The Company shall register and record transfers, exchanges, reissuances and cancellations of this Warrant, upon the records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose, in the name of the record holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary. The Company shall be entitled to rely and held harmless in acting or refraining from acting in reliance upon, any notices, instructions or documents it believes in good faith to be from an authorized representative of the Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.2 <u>Transferability</u>. This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form of assignment (the "<u>Assignment Notice</u>") attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.

No course of dealing between the Company and the Holder nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any rights of the Holder.

16. <u>MISCELLANEOUS</u>. In case any provision of this Warrant shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, or partially invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the provision shall be enforced to the extent, if any, that it may legally be enforced and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. If any provision of this Warrant is found to conflict with the Subscription Agreement, the provisions of this Warrant shall prevail. If any provision of this Warrant is found to conflict with the Note, the provisions of the Note shall prevail. THIS WARRANT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF WYOMING EXCLUDING CHOICE-OF-LAW PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW OF SUCH STATE THAT WOULD PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN SUCH STATE.

**GENERAL ENTERPRISE VENTURES, INC.**

**<u>COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT</u>**

General Enterprise Ventures, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (together with any corporation which shall succeed to or assume the obligations of General Enterprise Ventures, Inc. hereunder, the "<u>Company</u>"), hereby certifies that, for value received, Bradley Richmond, an individual (the "<u>Holder</u>"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company at any time during the Exercise Period (as defined in <u>Section 9</u>) up to 1,000,000 fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined in <u>Section 9</u>), at a purchase price per share equal to the Exercise Price (as defined in <u>Section 9</u>). The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Common Stock Purchase Warrant (this "<u>Warrant</u>") is exercisable and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided herein.

1. <u>DEFINITIONS</u>. Certain terms are used in this Warrant as specifically defined in <u>Section 9</u>.

2. <u>EXERCISE OF WARRANT</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1. <u>Exercise</u>. This Warrant may be exercised prior to its expiration pursuant to <u>Section 2.5</u> hereof by the Holder at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period, by submitting the form of subscription attached hereto (the "<u>Exercise Notice</u>") duly executed by the Holder, to the Company at its principal office, indicating whether the Holder is electing to purchase a specified number of shares by paying the Aggregate Exercise Price as provided in <u>Section 2.2</u> or is electing to exercise this Warrant as to a specified number of shares pursuant to the net exercise provisions of <u>Section 2.3</u>. On or before the first Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by electronic mail an acknowledgement of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice. Subject to <u>Section 2.4</u>, this Warrant shall be deemed exercised for all purposes as of the close of business on the day on which the Holder has delivered the Exercise Notice to the Company. The Aggregate Exercise Price, if any, shall be paid by wire transfer to the Company within five (5) Business Days of the date of exercise and prior to the time the Company issues the certificates evidencing the shares issuable upon such exercise. In the event this Warrant is not exercised in full, the Company may, at its expense, require the Holder, after such partial exercise, to promptly return this Warrant to the Company and the Company will forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder or as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock equal (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) for which this Warrant shall have been exercised.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2. <u>Payment of Exercise Price by Wire Transfer</u>. If the Holder elects to purchase a specified number of shares by paying the Aggregate Exercise Price, the Holder shall pay such amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Company in its acknowledgement of receipt of such Exercise Notice pursuant to <u>Section 2.1</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3. <u>Net Exercise</u>. If a registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock that are the subject of the Notice of Exercise (the "<u>Unavailable Warrant Shares</u>") is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant Shares to the public or upon exercise of this Warrant in connection with a Fundamental Transaction, the Holder may elect to exercise this Warrant by receiving shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares determined pursuant to the following formula:

X = <u>Y (A - B)</u> <br> A

where,

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| X = | the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder; |
| Y = | the number of shares of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is to be exercised (as indicated on the Exercise Notice); |
| A = | VWAP for the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of exercise; and |
| B = | the Exercise Price. |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4. <u>Antitrust Notification</u>. If the Holder determines, in its sole judgment upon the advice of counsel, that the issuance of any Warrant Shares pursuant to the terms hereof would be subject to the provisions of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "<u>HSR Act</u>"), the Company shall file as soon as practicable after the date on which the Company receives notice from the Holder of the applicability of the HSR Act and a request to so file with the United States Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice the notification and report form required to be filed by it pursuant to the HSR Act in connection with such issuance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5. <u>Termination</u>. This Warrant shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) exercise in full or (ii) the expiration of the Exercise Period.

3. <u>DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES ON EXERCISE</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. <u>Delivery of Exercise Shares</u>. As soon as practicable after any exercise of this Warrant and in any event within two (2) Trading Days thereafter (such date, the "<u>Exercise Share Delivery Date</u>"), the Company shall, at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue or stamp taxes), cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder may direct, a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (which number shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share in the event any fractional share may otherwise be issuable upon such exercise and the Company shall pay a cash adjustment to the Holder in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price) to which the Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, in such denominations as may be requested by the Holder, which certificate or certificates shall be free of restrictive and trading legends (except for any such legends as may be required under the Securities Act). In lieu of delivering physical certificates for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon any exercise of this Warrant, provided the Warrant Shares are not restricted securities and the Company's transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company ("<u>DTC</u>") Fast Automated Securities Transfer program or a similar program, upon request of the Holder, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit such shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant to the Holder (or its designee), by crediting the account of the Holder's (or such designee's) broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (provided that the same time periods herein as for stock certificates shall apply) as instructed by the Holder (or its designee). The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, "<u>Standard Settlement Period</u>" means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company's primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2. [Reserved.]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3. <u>Charges, Taxes and Expenses</u>. Issuance of Exercise Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Exercise Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Exercise Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that in the event Exercise Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto (the "<u>Assignment Form</u>") duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

4. <u>CERTAIN ADJUSTMENT</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1. <u>Stock Dividends and Splits</u>. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (a) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (b) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this <u>Section 5.1</u> shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2 [Reserved.]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.3 <u>Fundamental Transaction</u>. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (a) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (b) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (c) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (d) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (each, a "<u>Fundamental Transaction</u>"), then, upon the closing of a Fundamental Transaction and payment of the exercise price therefore (including at the election of the Holder by cashless exercise), the Holder shall receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the "<u>Alternate Consideration</u>") receivable as a result of such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon exercise of this Warrant upon the closing of such Fundamental Transaction. The foregoing notwithstanding, if the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange, in each case, into another security of the Company, this Warrant shall remain outstanding and the Holder shall be entitled to receive the Alternative Consideration upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant and the payment of the exercise price therefor. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this <u>Section 5.3</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.4 <u>Adjustment to Exercise Price Upon Issuance of Common Stock</u>. If the Company shall, at any time after the Issue Date, other than pursuant to a Qualified Financing, issue or sell any shares of Common Stock (other than Exempted Securities), whether directly or indirectly by way of Convertible Securities or any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Convertible Securities ("<u>Additional</u> <u>Shares of Common Stock</u>"), with any term that the Holder reasonably believes is more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that the Holder reasonably believes was not similarly provided to the Holder in this Warrant, then (i) the Holder, after receipt of written notice thereof from the Company, shall notify the Company of such additional or more favorable term within five (5) Business Days of the issuance or amendment (as applicable) of the respective security or, if later, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the previously described notice, and (ii) such term, at Holder's option, shall become a part of this Warrant (regardless of whether the Company or Holder complied with the notification provision of this Warrant or the Subscription Agreement). The types of terms contained in another security that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include, but are not limited to, terms addressing conversion or exercise discounts, conversion or exercise lookback periods, and discounts to the effective price per share of a Qualified Financing. If Holder elects to have the term become a part of this Warrant, then the Company shall immediately deliver acknowledgment of such adjustment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder (the "Acknowledgment") within five (5) Business Days of Company's receipt of request from Holder (the "Adjustment Deadline"), provided that Company's failure to timely provide the Acknowledgement shall not affect the automatic amendments contemplated hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.5 <u>Calculations</u>. All calculations under this <u>Section 5</u> shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this <u>Section 5</u>, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding at the close of the Trading Day on or, if not applicable, most recently preceding, such given date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.6 <u>Notice to Holder</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Adjustment to Exercise Price</u>. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this <u>Section 5</u>, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder</u>. If (i) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock; (ii) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock; (iii) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (iv) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; or (v) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. Subject to applicable law, the Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of the notice described in this <u>Section 5.6</u> is not intended to and shall not bestow upon the Holder any voting rights whatsoever with respect to outstanding unexercised Warrants.

5. <u>NO IMPAIRMENT</u>. The Company will not, by amendment of the Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable on the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor on such exercise and (b) will take all such action as may be resonably necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of stock on the exercise of this Warrant from time to time outstanding.

6. <u>NOTICES OF RECORD DATE</u>. In the event of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person or any other Change of Control; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company; then, and in each such event, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder a notice specifying (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is anticipated to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable on such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date specified in such notice on which any such action is to be taken.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.2. <u>Regulatory Compliance</u>. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of exercise of the Warrant Shares require registration or listing with or approval of any Governmental Authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon exercise, the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.3. <u>Stockholder Approval</u>.

"<u>Warrant Shares</u>" means collectively the shares of Common Stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with its terms, as such number may be adjusted pursuant to the provisions thereof.

9. <u>LIMITATION ON BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall not be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock or other securities (together with Common Stock, "<u>Equity Interests</u>") upon exercise of this Warrant to the extent (but only to the extent) that such exercise or receipt would cause the Holder Group to become, directly or indirectly, a "beneficial owner" (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of a number of Equity Interests of a class that is registered under the Exchange Act which exceeds the Maximum Percentage (as defined below) of the Equity Interests of such class that are outstanding at such time. Any purported delivery of Equity Interests in connection with the exercise of the Warrant prior to the termination of this restriction in accordance herewith shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in the Holder Group becoming the beneficial owner of more than the Maximum Percentage of the Equity Interests of a class that is registered under the Exchange Act that is outstanding at such time. If any delivery of Equity Interests owed to the Holder following exercise of this Warrant is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this limitation, the Company's obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and the Company shall deliver such Equity Interests as promptly as practicable after the Holder gives notice to the Company that such delivery would not result in such limitation being triggered or upon termination of the restriction in accordance with the terms hereof. To the extent limitations contained in this <u>Section 10</u> apply, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be the sole responsibility and in the sole determination of the Holder, and the submission of an Exercise Notice shall be deemed to constitute the Holder's determination that the issuance of the full number of Warrant Shares requested in the Exercise Notice is permitted hereunder, and neither the Company nor any Warrant agent shall have any obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For purposes of this <u>Section 10</u>, (i) the term "<u>Maximum Percentage</u>" shall mean 4.99%; provided, that if at any time after the date hereof the Holder Group beneficially owns in excess of 4.99% of any class of Equity Interests in the Company that is registered under the Exchange Act (excluding any Equity Interests deemed beneficially owned by virtue of this Warrant or the Note), then the Maximum Percentage shall automatically increase to 9.99% so long as the Holder Group owns in excess of 4.99% of such class of Equity Interests (and shall, for the avoidance of doubt, automatically decrease to 4.99% upon the Holder Group ceasing to own in excess of 4.99% of such class of Equity Interests); and (ii) the term "<u>Holder Group</u>" shall mean the Holder plus any other Person with which the Holder is considered to be part of a group under Section 13 of the Exchange Act or with which the Holder otherwise files reports under Sections 13 and/or 16 of the Exchange Act. In determining the number of Equity Interests of a particular class outstanding at any point in time, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Equity Interests of such class as reflected in (x) the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) a more recent notice by the Company or its transfer agent to the Holder setting forth the number of Equity Interests of such class then outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall, within one (1) Trading Day of such request, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Equity Interests of any class then outstanding. Anything herein to the contrary, any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this <u>Section 10</u> shall be construed, corrected and implemented in a manner so as to effectuate the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained.

10. <u>REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER OF WARRANT</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.1. <u>Registration of Warrant</u>. The Company shall register and record transfers, exchanges, reissuances and cancellations of this Warrant, upon the records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose, in the name of the record holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary. The Company shall be entitled to rely and held harmless in acting or refraining from acting in reliance upon, any notices, instructions or documents it believes in good faith to be from an authorized representative of the Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.2 <u>Transferability</u>. This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form of assignment (the "<u>Assignment Notice</u>") attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. The Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of the transferred Warrant under the Securities Act. Upon such surrender, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such Assignment Notice, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. This Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Exercise Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.3. <u>New Warrants</u>. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with <u>Section 11.2</u>, as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for this Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Exercise Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

11. <u>LOSS, THEFT, DESTRUCTION OR MUTILATION OF WARRANT</u>. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Exercise Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of this Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

12. [Reserved.]

13. <u>NO RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER</u>. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Exercise Shares.

14. <u>NOTICES</u>. All notices, requests, demands and other communications that are required or may be given pursuant to the terms of this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered (i) on the date of delivery when delivered by hand on a Business Day during normal business hours or, if delivered on a day that is not a Business Day or after normal business hours, then on the next Business Day, (ii) on the date of transmission when sent by facsimile transmission or email during normal business hours on a Business Day with telephone confirmation of receipt or, if transmitted on a day that is not a Business Day or after normal business hours, then on the next Business Day, or (iii) on the second Business Day after the date of dispatch when sent by a reputable courier service that maintains records of receipt. The addresses for notice shall be as set forth in the Subscription Agreement.

15. <u>CONSENT TO AMENDMENTS</u>. Any term of this Warrant may be amended, and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or compliance therewith may be waived, only if the Company shall have obtained the written consent (and not without such written consent) to such amendment, action or waiver from the Holder. No course of dealing between the Company and the Holder nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any rights of the Holder.

16. <u>MISCELLANEOUS</u>. In case any provision of this Warrant shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, or partially invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the provision shall be enforced to the extent, if any, that it may legally be enforced and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. If any provision of this Warrant is found to conflict with the Subscription Agreement, the provisions of this Warrant shall prevail. If any provision of this Warrant is found to conflict with the Note, the provisions of the Note shall prevail. THIS WARRANT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF WYOMING EXCLUDING CHOICE-OF-LAW PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW OF SUCH STATE THAT WOULD PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN SUCH STATE. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof.

**GENERAL ENTERPRISE VENTURES, INC.**

**<u>COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT</u>**

General Enterprise Ventures, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (together with any corporation which shall succeed to or assume the obligations of General Enterprise Ventures, Inc. hereunder, the "<u>Company</u>"), hereby certifies that, for value received, Bradley Richmond, an individual (the "<u>Holder</u>"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company at any time during the Exercise Period (as defined in <u>Section 9</u>) up to 1,000,000 fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined in <u>Section 9</u>), at a purchase price per share equal to the Exercise Price (as defined in <u>Section 9</u>). The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Common Stock Purchase Warrant (this "<u>Warrant</u>") is exercisable and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided herein.

1. <u>DEFINITIONS</u>. Certain terms are used in this Warrant as specifically defined in <u>Section 9</u>.

2. <u>EXERCISE OF WARRANT</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1. <u>Exercise</u>. This Warrant may be exercised prior to its expiration pursuant to <u>Section 2.5</u> hereof by the Holder at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period, by submitting the form of subscription attached hereto (the "<u>Exercise Notice</u>") duly executed by the Holder, to the Company at its principal office, indicating whether the Holder is electing to purchase a specified number of shares by paying the Aggregate Exercise Price as provided in <u>Section 2.2</u> or is electing to exercise this Warrant as to a specified number of shares pursuant to the net exercise provisions of <u>Section 2.3</u>. On or before the first Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by electronic mail an acknowledgement of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice. Subject to <u>Section 2.4</u>, this Warrant shall be deemed exercised for all purposes as of the close of business on the day on which the Holder has delivered the Exercise Notice to the Company. The Aggregate Exercise Price, if any, shall be paid by wire transfer to the Company within five (5) Business Days of the date of exercise and prior to the time the Company issues the certificates evidencing the shares issuable upon such exercise. In the event this Warrant is not exercised in full, the Company may, at its expense, require the Holder, after such partial exercise, to promptly return this Warrant to the Company and the Company will forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder or as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock equal (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) for which this Warrant shall have been exercised.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2. <u>Payment of Exercise Price by Wire Transfer</u>. If the Holder elects to purchase a specified number of shares by paying the Aggregate Exercise Price, the Holder shall pay such amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Company in its acknowledgement of receipt of such Exercise Notice pursuant to <u>Section 2.1</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3. <u>Net Exercise</u>. If a registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock that are the subject of the Notice of Exercise (the "<u>Unavailable Warrant Shares</u>") is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant Shares to the public or upon exercise of this Warrant in connection with a Fundamental Transaction, the Holder may elect to exercise this Warrant by receiving shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares determined pursuant to the following formula:

X = <u>Y (A - B)</u> <br> A

where,

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| X = | the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder; |
| Y = | the number of shares of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is to be exercised (as indicated on the Exercise Notice); |
| A = | VWAP for the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of exercise; and |
| B = | the Exercise Price. |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4. <u>Antitrust Notification</u>. If the Holder determines, in its sole judgment upon the advice of counsel, that the issuance of any Warrant Shares pursuant to the terms hereof would be subject to the provisions of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "<u>HSR Act</u>"), the Company shall file as soon as practicable after the date on which the Company receives notice from the Holder of the applicability of the HSR Act and a request to so file with the United States Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice the notification and report form required to be filed by it pursuant to the HSR Act in connection with such issuance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5. <u>Termination</u>. This Warrant shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) exercise in full or (ii) the expiration of the Exercise Period.

3. <u>DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES ON EXERCISE</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. <u>Delivery of Exercise Shares</u>. As soon as practicable after any exercise of this Warrant and in any event within two (2) Trading Days thereafter (such date, the "<u>Exercise Share Delivery Date</u>"), the Company shall, at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue or stamp taxes), cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder may direct, a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (which number shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share in the event any fractional share may otherwise be issuable upon such exercise and the Company shall pay a cash adjustment to the Holder in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price) to which the Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, in such denominations as may be requested by the Holder, which certificate or certificates shall be free of restrictive and trading legends (except for any such legends as may be required under the Securities Act). In lieu of delivering physical certificates for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon any exercise of this Warrant, provided the Warrant Shares are not restricted securities and the Company's transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company ("<u>DTC</u>") Fast Automated Securities Transfer program or a similar program, upon request of the Holder, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit such shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant to the Holder (or its designee), by crediting the account of the Holder's (or such designee's) broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (provided that the same time periods herein as for stock certificates shall apply) as instructed by the Holder (or its designee). The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, "<u>Standard Settlement Period</u>" means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company's primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2. [Reserved.]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3. <u>Charges, Taxes and Expenses</u>. Issuance of Exercise Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Exercise Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Exercise Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that in the event Exercise Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto (the "<u>Assignment Form</u>") duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

4. <u>CERTAIN ADJUSTMENT</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1. <u>Stock Dividends and Splits</u>. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (a) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (b) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this <u>Section 5.1</u> shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2 [Reserved.]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.3 <u>Fundamental Transaction</u>. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (a) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (b) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (c) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (d) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (each, a "<u>Fundamental Transaction</u>"), then, upon the closing of a Fundamental Transaction and payment of the exercise price therefore (including at the election of the Holder by cashless exercise), the Holder shall receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the "<u>Alternate Consideration</u>") receivable as a result of such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon exercise of this Warrant upon the closing of such Fundamental Transaction. The foregoing notwithstanding, if the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange, in each case, into another security of the Company, this Warrant shall remain outstanding and the Holder shall be entitled to receive the Alternative Consideration upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant and the payment of the exercise price therefor. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this <u>Section 5.3</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.4 <u>Adjustment to Exercise Price Upon Issuance of Common Stock</u>. If the Company shall, at any time after the Issue Date, other than pursuant to a Qualified Financing, issue or sell any shares of Common Stock (other than Exempted Securities), whether directly or indirectly by way of Convertible Securities or any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Convertible Securities ("<u>Additional</u> <u>Shares of Common Stock</u>"), with any term that the Holder reasonably believes is more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that the Holder reasonably believes was not similarly provided to the Holder in this Warrant, then (i) the Holder, after receipt of written notice thereof from the Company, shall notify the Company of such additional or more favorable term within five (5) Business Days of the issuance or amendment (as applicable) of the respective security or, if later, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the previously described notice, and (ii) such term, at Holder's option, shall become a part of this Warrant (regardless of whether the Company or Holder complied with the notification provision of this Warrant or the Subscription Agreement). The types of terms contained in another security that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include, but are not limited to, terms addressing conversion or exercise discounts, conversion or exercise lookback periods, and discounts to the effective price per share of a Qualified Financing. If Holder elects to have the term become a part of this Warrant, then the Company shall immediately deliver acknowledgment of such adjustment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder (the "Acknowledgment") within five (5) Business Days of Company's receipt of request from Holder (the "Adjustment Deadline"), provided that Company's failure to timely provide the Acknowledgement shall not affect the automatic amendments contemplated hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.5 <u>Calculations</u>. All calculations under this <u>Section 5</u> shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this <u>Section 5</u>, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding at the close of the Trading Day on or, if not applicable, most recently preceding, such given date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.6 <u>Notice to Holder</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Adjustment to Exercise Price</u>. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this <u>Section 5</u>, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder</u>. If (i) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock; (ii) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock; (iii) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (iv) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; or (v) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. Subject to applicable law, the Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of the notice described in this <u>Section 5.6</u> is not intended to and shall not bestow upon the Holder any voting rights whatsoever with respect to outstanding unexercised Warrants.

5. <u>NO IMPAIRMENT</u>. The Company will not, by amendment of the Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable on the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor on such exercise and (b) will take all such action as may be resonably necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of stock on the exercise of this Warrant from time to time outstanding.

6. <u>NOTICES OF RECORD DATE</u>. In the event of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person or any other Change of Control; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company; then, and in each such event, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder a notice specifying (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is anticipated to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable on such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date specified in such notice on which any such action is to be taken.

The Company shall, from time to time in accordance with Chapter 78 of the Wyoming Revised Statutes, increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock or take other effective action if at any time the unissued number of authorized shares shall not be sufficient to satisfy the Company's obligations under this <u>Section 8</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.2. <u>Regulatory Compliance</u>. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of exercise of the Warrant Shares require registration or listing with or approval of any Governmental Authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon exercise, the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.3. <u>Stockholder Approval</u>.

"<u>Warrant Shares</u>" means collectively the shares of Common Stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with its terms, as such number may be adjusted pursuant to the provisions thereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall not be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock or other securities (together with Common Stock, "<u>Equity Interests</u>") upon exercise of this Warrant to the extent (but only to the extent) that such exercise or receipt would cause the Holder Group to become, directly or indirectly, a "beneficial owner" (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of a number of Equity Interests of a class that is registered under the Exchange Act which exceeds the Maximum Percentage (as defined below) of the Equity Interests of such class that are outstanding at such time. Any purported delivery of Equity Interests in connection with the exercise of the Warrant prior to the termination of this restriction in accordance herewith shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in the Holder Group becoming the beneficial owner of more than the Maximum Percentage of the Equity Interests of a class that is registered under the Exchange Act that is outstanding at such time. If any delivery of Equity Interests owed to the Holder following exercise of this Warrant is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this limitation, the Company's obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and the Company shall deliver such Equity Interests as promptly as practicable after the Holder gives notice to the Company that such delivery would not result in such limitation being triggered or upon termination of the restriction in accordance with the terms hereof. To the extent limitations contained in this <u>Section 10</u> apply, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be the sole responsibility and in the sole determination of the Holder, and the submission of an Exercise Notice shall be deemed to constitute the Holder's determination that the issuance of the full number of Warrant Shares requested in the Exercise Notice is permitted hereunder, and neither the Company nor any Warrant agent shall have any obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For purposes of this <u>Section 10</u>, (i) the term "<u>Maximum Percentage</u>" shall mean 4.99%; provided, that if at any time after the date hereof the Holder Group beneficially owns in excess of 4.99% of any class of Equity Interests in the Company that is registered under the Exchange Act (excluding any Equity Interests deemed beneficially owned by virtue of this Warrant or the Note), then the Maximum Percentage shall automatically increase to 9.99% so long as the Holder Group owns in excess of 4.99% of such class of Equity Interests (and shall, for the avoidance of doubt, automatically decrease to 4.99% upon the Holder Group ceasing to own in excess of 4.99% of such class of Equity Interests); and (ii) the term "<u>Holder Group</u>" shall mean the Holder plus any other Person with which the Holder is considered to be part of a group under Section 13 of the Exchange Act or with which the Holder otherwise files reports under Sections 13 and/or 16 of the Exchange Act. In determining the number of Equity Interests of a particular class outstanding at any point in time, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Equity Interests of such class as reflected in (x) the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) a more recent notice by the Company or its transfer agent to the Holder setting forth the number of Equity Interests of such class then outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall, within one (1) Trading Day of such request, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Equity Interests of any class then outstanding. Anything herein to the contrary, any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this <u>Section 10</u> shall be construed, corrected and implemented in a manner so as to effectuate the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained.

10. <u>REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER OF WARRANT</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.1. <u>Registration of Warrant</u>. The Company shall register and record transfers, exchanges, reissuances and cancellations of this Warrant, upon the records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose, in the name of the record holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary. The Company shall be entitled to rely and held harmless in acting or refraining from acting in reliance upon, any notices, instructions or documents it believes in good faith to be from an authorized representative of the Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.2 <u>Transferability</u>. This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form of assignment (the "<u>Assignment Notice</u>") attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. The Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of the transferred Warrant under the Securities Act. Upon such surrender, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such Assignment Notice, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. This Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Exercise Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.3. <u>New Warrants</u>. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with <u>Section 11.2</u>, as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for this Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Exercise Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

11. <u>LOSS, THEFT, DESTRUCTION OR MUTILATION OF WARRANT</u>. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Exercise Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of this Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

12. [Reserved.]

13. <u>NO RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER</u>. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Exercise Shares.

14. <u>NOTICES</u>. All notices, requests, demands and other communications that are required or may be given pursuant to the terms of this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered (i) on the date of delivery when delivered by hand on a Business Day during normal business hours or, if delivered on a day that is not a Business Day or after normal business hours, then on the next Business Day, (ii) on the date of transmission when sent by facsimile transmission or email during normal business hours on a Business Day with telephone confirmation of receipt or, if transmitted on a day that is not a Business Day or after normal business hours, then on the next Business Day, or (iii) on the second Business Day after the date of dispatch when sent by a reputable courier service that maintains records of receipt. The addresses for notice shall be as set forth in the Subscription Agreement.

15. <u>CONSENT TO AMENDMENTS</u>. Any term of this Warrant may be amended, and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or compliance therewith may be waived, only if the Company shall have obtained the written consent (and not without such written consent) to such amendment, action or waiver from the Holder. No course of dealing between the Company and the Holder nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any rights of the Holder.

16. <u>MISCELLANEOUS</u>. In case any provision of this Warrant shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, or partially invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the provision shall be enforced to the extent, if any, that it may legally be enforced and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. If any provision of this Warrant is found to conflict with the Subscription Agreement, the provisions of this Warrant shall prevail. If any provision of this Warrant is found to conflict with the Note, the provisions of the Note shall prevail. THIS WARRANT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF WYOMING EXCLUDING CHOICE-OF-LAW PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW OF SUCH STATE THAT WOULD PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN SUCH STATE.

General Enterprise Ventures, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (together with any corporation which shall succeed to or assume the obligations of General Enterprise Ventures, Inc. hereunder, the "<u>Company</u>"), hereby certifies that, for value received, Univest Securities, LLC., an corporation (the "<u>Holder</u>"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company at any time during the Exercise Period (as defined in <u>Section 9</u>) up to 400,000 fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined in <u>Section 9</u>), at a purchase price per share equal to the Exercise Price (as defined in <u>Section 9</u>). The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Common Stock Purchase Warrant (this "<u>Warrant</u>") is exercisable and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided herein.

1. <u>DEFINITIONS</u>. Certain terms are used in this Warrant as specifically defined in <u>Section 9</u>.

2. <u>EXERCISE OF WARRANT</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1. <u>Exercise</u>. This Warrant may be exercised prior to its expiration pursuant to <u>Section 2.5</u> hereof by the Holder at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period, by submitting the form of subscription attached hereto (the "<u>Exercise Notice</u>") duly executed by the Holder, to the Company at its principal office, indicating whether the Holder is electing to purchase a specified number of shares by paying the Aggregate Exercise Price as provided in <u>Section 2.2</u> or is electing to exercise this Warrant as to a specified number of shares pursuant to the net exercise provisions of <u>Section 2.3</u>. On or before the first Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by electronic mail an acknowledgement of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice. Subject to <u>Section 2.4</u>, this Warrant shall be deemed exercised for all purposes as of the close of business on the day on which the Holder has delivered the Exercise Notice to the Company. The Aggregate Exercise Price, if any, shall be paid by wire transfer to the Company within five (5) Business Days of the date of exercise and prior to the time the Company issues the certificates evidencing the shares issuable upon such exercise. In the event this Warrant is not exercised in full, the Company may, at its expense, require the Holder, after such partial exercise, to promptly return this Warrant to the Company and the Company will forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder or as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock equal (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) for which this Warrant shall have been exercised.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2. <u>Payment of Exercise Price by Wire Transfer</u>. If the Holder elects to purchase a specified number of shares by paying the Aggregate Exercise Price, the Holder shall pay such amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Company in its acknowledgement of receipt of such Exercise Notice pursuant to <u>Section 2.1</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3. <u>Net Exercise</u>. If a registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock that are the subject of the Notice of Exercise (the "<u>Unavailable Warrant Shares</u>") is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant Shares to the public or upon exercise of this Warrant in connection with a Fundamental Transaction, the Holder may elect to exercise this Warrant by receiving shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares determined pursuant to the following formula:

X = <u>Y (A - B)</u> <br> A

where,

If the Holder determines, in its sole judgment upon the advice of counsel, that the issuance of any Warrant Shares pursuant to the terms hereof would be subject to the provisions of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "<u>HSR Act</u>"), the Company shall file as soon as practicable after the date on which the Company receives notice from the Holder of the applicability of the HSR Act and a request to so file with the United States Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice the notification and report form required to be filed by it pursuant to the HSR Act in connection with such issuance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5. <u>Termination</u>. This Warrant shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) exercise in full or (ii) the expiration of the Exercise Period.

As soon as practicable after any exercise of this Warrant and in any event within two (2) Trading Days thereafter (such date, the "<u>Exercise Share Delivery Date</u>"), the Company shall, at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue or stamp taxes), cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder may direct, a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (which number shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share in the event any fractional share may otherwise be issuable upon such exercise and the Company shall pay a cash adjustment to the Holder in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price) to which the Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, in such denominations as may be requested by the Holder, which certificate or certificates shall be free of restrictive and trading legends (except for any such legends as may be required under the Securities Act).

As used herein, "<u>Standard Settlement Period</u>" means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company's primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3. <u>Charges, Taxes and Expenses</u>. Issuance of Exercise Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Exercise Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Exercise Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that in the event Exercise Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto (the "<u>Assignment Form</u>") duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

4. <u>CERTAIN ADJUSTMENT</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1. <u>Stock Dividends and Splits</u>. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (a) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (b) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this <u>Section 5.1</u> shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2 [Reserved.]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.3 <u>Fundamental Transaction</u>. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (a) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (b) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (c) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (d) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (each, a "<u>Fundamental Transaction</u>"), then, upon the closing of a Fundamental Transaction and payment of the exercise price therefore (including at the election of the Holder by cashless exercise), the Holder shall receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the "<u>Alternate Consideration</u>") receivable as a result of such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon exercise of this Warrant upon the closing of such Fundamental Transaction. The foregoing notwithstanding, if the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange, in each case, into another security of the Company, this Warrant shall remain outstanding and the Holder shall be entitled to receive the Alternative Consideration upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant and the payment of the exercise price therefor. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this <u>Section 5.3</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.4 <u>Adjustment to Exercise Price Upon Issuance of Common Stock</u>. If the Company shall, at any time after the Issue Date, other than pursuant to a Qualified Financing, issue or sell any shares of Common Stock (other than Exempted Securities), whether directly or indirectly by way of Convertible Securities or any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Convertible Securities ("<u>Additional</u> <u>Shares of Common Stock</u>"), with any term that the Holder reasonably believes is more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that the Holder reasonably believes was not similarly provided to the Holder in this Warrant, then (i) the Holder, after receipt of written notice thereof from the Company, shall notify the Company of such additional or more favorable term within five (5) Business Days of the issuance or amendment (as applicable) of the respective security or, if later, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the previously described notice, and (ii) such term, at Holder's option, shall become a part of this Warrant (regardless of whether the Company or Holder complied with the notification provision of this Warrant or the Subscription Agreement). The types of terms contained in another security that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include, but are not limited to, terms addressing conversion or exercise discounts, conversion or exercise lookback periods, and discounts to the effective price per share of a Qualified Financing. If Holder elects to have the term become a part of this Warrant, then the Company shall immediately deliver acknowledgment of such adjustment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder (the "Acknowledgment") within five (5) Business Days of Company's receipt of request from Holder (the "Adjustment Deadline"), provided that Company's failure to timely provide the Acknowledgement shall not affect the automatic amendments contemplated hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.5 <u>Calculations</u>. All calculations under this <u>Section 5</u> shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this <u>Section 5</u>, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding at the close of the Trading Day on or, if not applicable, most recently preceding, such given date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.6 <u>Notice to Holder</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Adjustment to Exercise Price</u>. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this <u>Section 5</u>, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder</u>. If (i) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock; (ii) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock; (iii) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (iv) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; or (v) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. Subject to applicable law, the Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of the notice described in this <u>Section 5.6</u> is not intended to and shall not bestow upon the Holder any voting rights whatsoever with respect to outstanding unexercised Warrants.

5. <u>NO IMPAIRMENT</u>. The Company will not, by amendment of the Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable on the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor on such exercise and (b) will take all such action as may be resonably necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of stock on the exercise of this Warrant from time to time outstanding.

6. <u>NOTICES OF RECORD DATE</u>. In the event of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person or any other Change of Control; or

The Company shall, from time to time in accordance with Chapter 78 of the Wyoming Revised Statutes, increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock or take other effective action if at any time the unissued number of authorized shares shall not be sufficient to satisfy the Company's obligations under this <u>Section 8</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.2. <u>Regulatory Compliance</u>. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of exercise of the Warrant Shares require registration or listing with or approval of any Governmental Authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon exercise, the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.3. <u>Stockholder Approval</u>.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall not be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock or other securities (together with Common Stock, "<u>Equity Interests</u>") upon exercise of this Warrant to the extent (but only to the extent) that such exercise or receipt would cause the Holder Group to become, directly or indirectly, a "beneficial owner" (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of a number of Equity Interests of a class that is registered under the Exchange Act which exceeds the Maximum Percentage (as defined below) of the Equity Interests of such class that are outstanding at such time. Any purported delivery of Equity Interests in connection with the exercise of the Warrant prior to the termination of this restriction in accordance herewith shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in the Holder Group becoming the beneficial owner of more than the Maximum Percentage of the Equity Interests of a class that is registered under the Exchange Act that is outstanding at such time. If any delivery of Equity Interests owed to the Holder following exercise of this Warrant is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this limitation, the Company's obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and the Company shall deliver such Equity Interests as promptly as practicable after the Holder gives notice to the Company that such delivery would not result in such limitation being triggered or upon termination of the restriction in accordance with the terms hereof. To the extent limitations contained in this <u>Section 10</u> apply, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be the sole responsibility and in the sole determination of the Holder, and the submission of an Exercise Notice shall be deemed to constitute the Holder's determination that the issuance of the full number of Warrant Shares requested in the Exercise Notice is permitted hereunder, and neither the Company nor any Warrant agent shall have any obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For purposes of this <u>Section 10</u>, (i) the term "<u>Maximum Percentage</u>" shall mean 4.99%; provided, that if at any time after the date hereof the Holder Group beneficially owns in excess of 4.99% of any class of Equity Interests in the Company that is registered under the Exchange Act (excluding any Equity Interests deemed beneficially owned by virtue of this Warrant or the Note), then the Maximum Percentage shall automatically increase to 9.99% so long as the Holder Group owns in excess of 4.99% of such class of Equity Interests (and shall, for the avoidance of doubt, automatically decrease to 4.99% upon the Holder Group ceasing to own in excess of 4.99% of such class of Equity Interests); and (ii) the term "<u>Holder Group</u>" shall mean the Holder plus any other Person with which the Holder is considered to be part of a group under Section 13 of the Exchange Act or with which the Holder otherwise files reports under Sections 13 and/or 16 of the Exchange Act. In determining the number of Equity Interests of a particular class outstanding at any point in time, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Equity Interests of such class as reflected in (x) the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) a more recent notice by the Company or its transfer agent to the Holder setting forth the number of Equity Interests of such class then outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall, within one (1) Trading Day of such request, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Equity Interests of any class then outstanding. Anything herein to the contrary, any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this <u>Section 10</u> shall be construed, corrected and implemented in a manner so as to effectuate the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained.

The Company shall register and record transfers, exchanges, reissuances and cancellations of this Warrant, upon the records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose, in the name of the record holder hereof from time to time.

The Company shall be entitled to rely and held harmless in acting or refraining from acting in reliance upon, any notices, instructions or documents it believes in good faith to be from an authorized representative of the Holder.

The Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of the transferred Warrant under the Securities Act. Upon such surrender, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such Assignment Notice, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. This Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Exercise Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Exercise Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

11. <u>LOSS, THEFT, DESTRUCTION OR MUTILATION OF WARRANT</u>. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Exercise Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of this Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

12. [Reserved.]

13. <u>NO RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER</u>. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Exercise Shares.

No course of dealing between the Company and the Holder nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any rights of the Holder.

16. <u>MISCELLANEOUS</u>. In case any provision of this Warrant shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, or partially invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the provision shall be enforced to the extent, if any, that it may legally be enforced and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. If any provision of this Warrant is found to conflict with the Subscription Agreement, the provisions of this Warrant shall prevail.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (the "<u>Registration Statement</u>"), of General Enterprise Ventures, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (the "<u>Company</u>"), filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "<u>Securities Act</u>"), in connection with the offering by the Company of: (a) up to an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares (the "<u>Shares</u>") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "<u>Common Stock</u>"), including up to 225,000 shares that may be sold pursuant to the underwriters' over-allotment option; (b) the representative's warrants that will be issued by the Company to the representative of the underwriters of the offering (the "<u>Representative's Warrants</u>"); and (c) up to 75,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Representative's Warrants (the "<u>Representative's Warrant Shares</u>").

In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being true and complete copies of the originals, of specimen common stock certificates, and such other documents, corporate records, certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable to enable us to render the opinions set forth below. In our examination, we have assumed without independent investigation the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that: (i) the Shares, when issued against payment therefor as set forth in the Registration Statement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; (ii) the Representative's Warrant Shares, when issued upon exercise of the Representative's Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; and (iii) the Representative's Warrants, when issued as set forth in the Registration Statement, will be legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

The opinions expressed above are subject to the following additional exceptions, qualifications, limitations and assumptions:

A. Our opinion expressed herein is limited to the federal laws of the United States, the laws of the State of Wyoming. The opinions expressed herein are based upon the federal laws of the United States and the laws of the State of Wyoming in effect on the date hereof and as of the effective date of the Registration Statement. We assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion in the event of future changes in such laws or the interpretations thereof or such facts.

General Enterprise Ventures, Inc.

B. The opinion in clause (iii) above is subject to (a) the effect of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, arrangement or similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors' generally, including without limitation the effect of statutory or other laws regarding fraudulent transfers or preferential transfers, and (b) general principles of equity, including without limitation concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance, liquidated damages, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, and we further consent to the use of our name under the caption "Legal Matters" in the Registration Statement and the prospectus that forms a part thereof. In giving these consents, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission.
