**INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS** 

This prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference may contain and refer to certain statements that are not historical facts that contain "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "possible," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "would" and similar expressions and include references to assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable and relate to its future prospects, developments and business strategies. Such statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated due to a number of facts, including but not limited to those described from time to time in our reports filed or furnished with the SEC, and in particular those factors set forth in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our annual and quarterly reports filed with the SEC.

While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, there should be no inference that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

Important factors which could cause our actual results to differ, possibly materially from the forward-looking statements in this prospectus include, but are not limited to, the following items:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Edge Autonomy's future growth depends on the demand for, and customers' willingness to adopt uncrewed aircraft systems ("UAS") technology;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Redwire's limited operating history in an evolving industry and history of losses to date as well as the limited operating history of Edge Autonomy and the relatively novel nature of the drone industry makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and the risks and challenges we may encounter;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if we are unable to successfully integrate recently completed and future acquisitions, including the business combination with Edge Autonomy, or successfully select, execute or integrate future acquisitions into the business, or we fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the transaction or to realize estimated projected combined company results, our operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our and the combined company's dependence on U.S. and foreign government contracts, which often are only partially funded and subject to immediate termination, which may be affected by changes in government program requirements, spending priorities or budgetary constraints, including government shutdowns, or which may be influenced by the level of military activities and related spending, such as in or with respect to ongoing or future conflicts, including the war in Ukraine, or as a result of changes in international support for military assistance to Ukraine;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a significant portion of Edge Autonomy's revenues result from sales to customers in Ukraine, which sales have been declining and may continue to decline in the event that the war and hostilities in Ukraine end, decline or change, or as a result of changes in international support for military assistance to Ukraine;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Edge Autonomy's failure to satisfy mandated compliance requirements or safety standards or failure to design, manufacture and operate safe products could have a materially adverse effect on its business and operating results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Edge Autonomy's work for the U.S. government and international governments may expose us to increased security risks;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• risks associated with the continued economic uncertainty, including high inflation, effects of trade tariffs and other trade actions, supply chain challenges, labor shortages, increased labor costs, high interest rates,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to grow our business depends on the successful development and continued refinement of many of Redwire's and the combined company's proprietary technologies, products, and service offerings, which are subject to many uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• competition with new or existing companies could cause downward pressure on prices, fewer customer orders, reduced margins, the inability to take advantage of new business opportunities, and the loss of market share;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the possibility that Redwire's expectations and assumptions relating to future results and projections with respect to Redwire or Edge Autonomy may prove incorrect;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• litigation matters and potential related expenses may adversely affect our business and results of operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• natural disasters, geopolitical conflicts, or other natural or man-made catastrophic events could disrupt and impact our business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adverse publicity stemming from any incident or perceived risk involving Redwire, Edge Autonomy, the combined company or their competitors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our business involves significant risks and uncertainties that may not be covered by insurance or indemnity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if we fail to respond to commercial industry cycles in terms of our cost structure, manufacturing capacity, and/or personnel needs, our business could be seriously harmed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any delays in the development, design, engineering and manufacturing of our core offerings may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unsatisfactory performance of our and the combined company's products resulting from challenges in the space environment, extreme weather events, the environments in which drones operate, including in combat or other areas where hostilities may occur, or otherwise could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our results of operations and cash flows are substantially affected by our mix of fixed-price, cost-plus and time-and-material type contracts;

These core offerings include leading technologies and production capability for mission solutions including: avionics, sensors and payloads; power generation; structures and mechanisms; radio frequency systems; spacecraft platforms and missions; and microgravity payloads. A majority of our projects result in funded technology development and as a result, we benefit from continuous innovation aligned to our three (3) primary focus areas as described below.

Our mission is to accelerate humanity's expansion into space by delivering reliable, economical and sustainable infrastructure for future generations. With decades of proven flight heritage combined with innovative products and culture, Redwire is uniquely positioned to assist our customers in solving the complex challenges of future space missions and industries. Redwire has three (3) primary areas of focus that form our business:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Enabling space mission providers, such as government agencies and large prime contractors, with a broad portfolio of space defense and civil infrastructure, systems, subsystems, and components;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Providing the infrastructure and technology needed for people to explore, live and work in space; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Assisting international spacefaring allies in the development of organic space capabilities.

With our core space infrastructure offerings, Redwire is a leading innovator in space infrastructure, enabling space mission providers with the foundational building blocks and integrated solutions needed for complex space missions.

We are also a provider of innovative technologies with the potential to help transform the economics of space and create new markets for its exploration and commercialization.

Redwire's broad portfolio of core offerings, plus our domestic and international reach, allows us to participate in national security, civil, and commercial space markets globally. With the increasing importance of space for national security and economic development, international spacefaring allies' demand for the products and services of a provider like Redwire may increase as they seek to develop their organic space capabilities. We have a unique portfolio of highly synergistic and complementary core space infrastructure offerings that significantly enhance our access to addressable markets in Europe and the rest of the world.

**Recent Developments**

***Merger Agreement***

On June 13, 2025, Redwire consummated its acquisition of Edge Autonomy pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger with Edge Autonomy Ultimate Holdings, LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("Seller"), and the other parties thereto (as amended, the "Edge Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which Redwire, via the mergers set forth in the Edge Merger Agreement (the "Mergers", and together with the stock issuance described below, the "Transactions"), acquired Edge Autonomy. Immediately following the Mergers, on June 13, 2025, Echelon Purchaser LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the surviving entity in the Mergers, merged with and into Redwire Intermediate Edge Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

The aggregate merger consideration paid by Redwire at the closing of the Transactions (the "Acquisition Closing") was $925 million, subject to customary working capital, cash and indebtedness adjustments (the "Merger Consideration"). The Merger Consideration consisted of (i) $160 million in cash, which included a promissory note in the principal amount of $100 million issued by a subsidiary of Redwire (such promissory note the "Seller Note") and (ii) the remainder in shares of our common stock issued at a price per share of $15.07, based on the volume-weighted average trading price on the NYSE for the 30 trading days ending on January 17, 2025 (the "Equity Consideration"), subject to a portion of such common stock being held back from the Equity Consideration to satisfy post-Acquisition Closing adjustments to the Merger Consideration. Redwire financed the cash portion of the Merger Consideration with cash on hand, issuance of the Seller Note, and proceeds under its existing credit facility and/or proceeds from new debt facilities that Redwire entered into upon the Acquisition Closing. Redwire plans to use the proceeds of this offering in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Coordination Agreement (as defined and described below), including to repay all or a portion of the Seller Note to the extent the proceeds of this offering permits.

The Seller Note has a 3.00% upfront fee to be paid-in-kind and added to the principal amount of the Seller Note and will be fully earned at the maturity date thereof and a cash minimum return payment calculated as follows: (x) to the extent the Seller Note is repaid in whole or in part from the Acquisition Closing through July 15, 2025, 1.20 times the principal amount being repaid, (y) to the extent the Seller Note is repaid in whole or in part from July 16, 2025 through December 31, 2025, 1.35 times the principal amount being repaid and (z) to the extent the Seller Note is repaid in whole or in part from and after January 1, 2026, 1.50 times the principal amount being repaid, in each case, less aggregate cash payments of principal, interest (including paid-in-kind interest) and the upfront fee previously or then being paid in cash. The Seller Note also provides that if Redwire or any of its subsidiaries (a) receives any equity financing net proceeds (including proceeds from the offering described herein) or (b) receives any net debt proceeds from a refinancing or modification of certain existing Redwire or Edge Autonomy credit facilities, 100.00% of such proceeds, to the extent made available to the issuer of the Seller Note, must be applied to the prepayment of the obligations (the "Prepayment Obligation") under the Seller Note in cash.

AE Industrial owned approximately 43.0% of the common stock of Redwire (including through its shares of convertible preferred stock, on an as converted basis) prior to the Mergers and, following the Mergers but without

------

giving effect to this offering own approximately 60.2% of the common stock of Redwire (including through its shares of convertible preferred stock on an as converted basis). In addition, prior to the Mergers, AE Industrial held a controlling equity interest in the Seller.

***Registration Rights Coordination Agreement***

On June 8, 2025, Redwire entered into a registration rights coordination agreement (the "Registration Rights Coordination Agreement") with Bain, AE Industrial Partners Fund II, L.P. ("AE Fund II") and AE Industrial Partners Structured Solutions I, L.P. ("AE Industrial Partners Structured Solutions") relating to that certain Registration Rights Agreement (the "RRA") dated October 28, 2022 by and among Redwire, Bain, AE Fund II and AE Industrial Partners Structured Solutions, which was entered into in connection with the issuance of Redwire convertible preferred stock. The Registration Rights Coordination Agreement provides that, if Redwire effects any equity offering (including the offering described herein) within 90 days after the Acquisition Closing (a "Post-Acquisition Closing Offering"), (i) the first $40 million of net proceeds of the Post-Acquisition Closing Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts but before our estimated offering expenses, shall be added to Redwire's cash on hand for working capital and other corporate uses, (ii) an amount equal to the greater of (A) 25% of the net proceeds of the Post-Acquisition Closing Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts but before our estimated offering expenses and (B) $50 million would, at Bain's election (the "Purchase Election") within five business days following consummation of the Post-Acquisition Closing Offering, be applied to purchase a portion of Bain's shares of Redwire convertible preferred stock based on the then-current conversion rate of the Redwire convertible preferred stock at a price based on the per share price of Redwire common stock sold by Redwire in any Post-Acquisition Closing Offering, and (iii) the balance of the net proceeds of the Post-Acquisition Closing Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts but before our estimated offering expenses, shall be added to Redwire's cash on hand for working capital and other corporate uses, including the repayment of the Seller Note in accordance with its terms (including the Prepayment Obligation). In addition, Bain, AE Fund II and AE Industrial Partners Structured Solutions each agreed in the Registration Rights Coordination Agreement that, subject to certain limitations, if requested by the underwriters of the Post-Acquisition Closing Offering, it and its affiliates would enter into a 90-day lock-up agreement, as would have been required if their shares of Redwire common stock were to be included in the Post-Acquisition Closing Offering pursuant to the RRA. See "<u>[Underwriting](#i2f579420dba04cfc882ae9619a03dbe1_915)</u>" in this prospectus supplement for a description of lock-up agreements that have been entered into by such parties. In addition, Redwire agreed to file with the SEC a resale registration statement as required by the RRA and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause it to be declared effective by the SEC not later than the 90<sup>th</sup> day after the Acquisition Closing.

**RISK FACTORS** 

Investing in shares of our common stock involves risks. The following risk factors, as well as those under Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which are incorporated herein by reference, should be considered prior to deciding to invest in any shares of our common stock offered for sale pursuant to this prospectus supplement. These risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by risk factors contained in Exchange Act reports that we file with the SEC, which will be incorporated herein by reference, or by a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement forms a part. There may be additional risks that are not presently material or known. If any of the events described below occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or access to the debt or capital markets could be materially adversely affected. The following risks could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and from any estimates or expectations set forth in forward-looking statements made in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement or the documents incorporated herein by reference.

**Risks Related to Edge Autonomy**

***Edge Autonomy's future growth depends on the demand for, and customers' willingness to adopt UAS technology.***

Evolving global security requirements and increasing demand for efficient supply chain and logistics solutions may present opportunities for growth in the market for autonomous aerial systems and advanced UAS technology. However, potential failure to manage the risks described above may discourage current or potential customers from purchasing its UAS products. If the market for UAS products does not develop as Edge Autonomy expects or develops more slowly than Edge Autonomy expects, its business, prospects, financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected.

***Following the Transactions, Redwire stockholders own interests in a company with different risks and liabilities.***

Following consummation of the Transactions, Redwire stockholders own interests in a company operating an expanded business with a different mix of risks and liabilities. Edge Autonomy is a provider of UAS technology, and the market for UAS technology services is still an emerging market. Unsatisfactory performance of Edge Autonomy's products resulting from the environments in which drones operate, including in combat or other areas where wars and hostilities may occur (for example, the war in Ukraine), or numerous other market and technological factors may cause the demand for the products and technologies offered by Edge Autonomy to decline or be subject to variation and may cause variations in the market price of our common stock following the Transactions. In particular, a significant portion of Edge Autonomy's sales are to customers in Ukraine, which sales have been declining and may continue to decline in the event that the war and hostilities in Ukraine end, decline or change, or as a result of changes in international support for military assistance to Ukraine.

***Edge Autonomy faces competition from other firms, many of which have substantially greater resources.***

Edge Autonomy is a provider of UAS and autonomous technology solutions in a sector that has experienced significant growth driven by advancements in autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and sensor technologies.

Edge Autonomy faces competition from various entities, including established defense contractors, autonomous flight system specialists, security technology providers, and companies focused on sensor technology and artificial intelligence software development, many of which are larger than Edge Autonomy and have greater technical, manufacturing and financial resources. The product capabilities of consumer and commercially focused drone manufacturers continue to increase and their product prices remain low relative to existing defense solutions. This competition could affect Edge Autonomy's market position, as rapid technological advancements in artificial intelligence and automation may require significant ongoing investment in research and development to maintain its competitive advantage. Edge Autonomy's future growth prospects depend on its ability to successfully innovate, differentiate its offerings, and maintain or expand its market share in an increasingly competitive landscape. Failure

------

to effectively compete in these areas could result in reduced sales, margin pressure, and loss of strategic opportunities.

***Edge Autonomy's UAS products are subject to certain safety standards and complex regulatory frameworks, and the failure to satisfy such mandated compliance requirements or safety standards or failure to design, manufacture and operate safe products could have a materially adverse effect on its business and operating results.***

The UAS industry is subject to several complex regulatory frameworks including National Defense Authorization Act compliance requirements, Federal Aviation Regulations, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations, International Traffic in Arms Regulations and Export Administration Regulations. Edge Autonomy strives to maintain compliance with all applicable U.S. and international export control laws, regulations, and security requirements.

In the United States, the Federal Aviation Administration oversees the safety of aircraft operations in the national airspace system and has the authority to grant airworthiness certificates and related exemptions to UAS. If Edge Autonomy fails to have its UAS satisfy applicable UAS standards in any jurisdiction where it operates, its business and operating results could be adversely affected. While Edge Autonomy is committed to producing safe products, there can be no assurance that its safety technology will be effective in preventing incidents related to product safety, such as accidents involving its UAS products. Failure to ensure the safe operation of its UAS products may affect its reputation and the sale of its UAS products, which may ultimately have a materially adverse effect on its business operation and financial results.

***Geopolitical and macroeconomic events and conditions could adversely affect the Edge Autonomy business, financial condition and operating results.***

Edge Autonomy's international business is affected by changes in U.S. and non-U.S. national policies and priorities, and geopolitical relationships, any of which may be influenced by changes in the global threat environment, political leadership, geopolitical and economic uncertainties, war and terrorist events, the escalation or continuation of armed conflict, government budgets, inflationary pressures, sanctions imposed in countries where Edge Autonomy does business or seek to do business, and economic and political factors more generally.

Unsatisfactory performance of Edge Autonomy's products resulting from the environments in which drones operate, including in combat or other areas where wars and hostilities may occur (for example, the war in Ukraine), may cause the demand for the products and technologies offered by Edge Autonomy to decline or be subject to variation. In particular, approximately 15% of Edge Autonomy's sales for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025 are to customers in Ukraine, which sales have been declining and may continue to decline in the event that the war and hostilities in Ukraine end, decline or change, or as a result of changes in international support for military assistance to Ukraine.

Further, there is a possibility that political decisions made by the U.S. government, such as changes in prior military commitments, including in response to the armed conflict in Ukraine or the Middle East, or an impasse on policy issues, could impact future spending and program authorizations, which may not increase or may decrease or shift to programs in areas in which Edge Autonomy does not provide products or services or are less likely to be awarded contracts. Such changes in spending authorizations and budgetary priorities may occur as a result of shifts in spending priorities from defense-related and other programs due to, among other factors, competing demands for federal funds and the number and intensity of military conflicts, all of which may ultimately have a materially adverse effect on its business operation and financial results.

***Edge Autonomy's work for the U.S. government and international governments may expose us to increased security risks.***

As a government contractor, given the enhanced sensitivity of the information Edge Autonomy has access to and the nature of its products and services, Edge Autonomy is at increased risk of being targeted for cyber and other security attacks, including threats to the physical security of its facilities and employees. In addition, Edge Autonomy works in international locations where there are high security risks, which could result in harm to its

------

employees, contractors, and remote assets, and substantial protection or recovery costs. Some of its services are performed in or adjacent to high-risk locations where the country or location is experiencing political, social or economic issues, or war or civil unrest. In those locations where Edge Autonomy has employees or operations, it may incur substantial costs to maintain the safety of its personnel, its remote assets and its information. As such international locations and the risks associated with them change rapidly, such precautions may be insufficient to avoid such risks including possible possession of Edge Autonomy's remote assets and related access to its intellectual property by unintended third parties and the possible loss of its personnel in these locations, which could harm our business and operating results.

**Risks Related to the Transactions**

***Redwire may be unable to integrate the operations of Redwire and Edge Autonomy successfully and realize the anticipated synergies and other benefits of the Mergers, or unable to do so within the anticipated timeframe.***

The Mergers involved the combination of two (2) companies which previously operated independently. Following the Acquisition Closing, Redwire is expected to benefit from certain synergies and the elimination of duplicative costs associated with general and administrative expenses, among others. Redwire will, however, be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating the business practices, cultures and operations of Edge Autonomy with Redwire's. Potential difficulties Redwire may encounter in the integration process include, among others, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.the inability to successfully combine the operations of Redwire and Edge Autonomy in a manner that permits Redwire to achieve the cost savings from the Mergers, or results in the anticipated benefits and synergies of the Mergers not being realized in the timeframe currently anticipated or at all;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.the inability to minimize the diversion of management attention from ongoing business concerns during the process of integrating Edge Autonomy into our businesses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.the inability to integrate product lines and capitalize on cross-selling opportunities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.the inability to resolve potential conflicts that may arise relating to customer, supplier and other important relationships of our business and Edge Autonomy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses, delays or regulatory conditions associated with the Mergers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.failure to retain key management and other key employees of Edge Autonomy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.the potential need to upgrade Edge Autonomy's reporting systems, including internal controls over financial reporting and/or systems, which may be found to have material weaknesses or significant deficiencies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.the difficulties harmonizing differences in the business cultures of Redwire and Edge Autonomy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.the challenge of managing the expanded operations of a significantly larger and more complex company and coordinating geographically separate organizations; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.additional complexities of combining two (2) companies with different histories, organizations, systems, operating procedures, compliance programs, products, markets, customers, technology, networks and other assets.

For all these reasons, it is possible that the integration process could result in the distraction of Redwire's management, the disruption of Redwire's ongoing business or inconsistencies in Redwire's operations, services, standards, controls, procedures and policies, any of which could adversely affect the ability of Redwire to maintain relationships with customers, vendors and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Mergers, or could otherwise adversely affect Redwire's business and financial results.

------

***Redwire stockholders have a smaller ownership and voting interest in Redwire following completion of the Mergers, compared to their respective ownership and voting interest in Redwire prior to the Mergers.***

Following completion of the Mergers, after giving effect to the related stock issuance but without giving effect to this offering, based on the number of shares of our common stock and convertible preferred stock outstanding on June 13, 2025, (i) continuing Redwire stockholders own approximately 69.9% and the Seller owns approximately 30.1% of our common stock and Redwire convertible preferred stock (on an as converted to common stock basis), (ii) AE Industrial (including Seller) beneficially owns approximately 60.2% of our common stock and Redwire convertible preferred stock (on an as converted to common stock basis) and (iii) Bain beneficially owns approximately 14.5% of our common stock and Redwire convertible preferred stock (on an as converted to common stock basis but without giving effect to the exercise by Bain, if applicable, of the Purchase Election). Accordingly, the Redwire stockholders prior to the Mergers exercise significantly less influence over Redwire after the Mergers relative to their respective influence over Redwire prior to the Mergers, and thus have a less significant impact on the approval or rejection of future Redwire proposals submitted to a stockholder vote.

***Following completion of the Mergers, AE Industrial (including Seller) holds a majority of the voting power of Redwire and will appoint a majority of the directors to the Redwire Board of Directors (the "Redwire Board").***

Following the Mergers, without giving effect to this offering, AE Industrial (including Seller) beneficially owns approximately 60.2% of our common stock and Redwire convertible preferred stock (on an as converted to common stock basis). Additionally, among other things, an amended and restated investor rights agreement (the "A&R Investor Rights Agreement") entered into by Redwire, Seller, certain AE Industrial stockholders (the "AE Industrial Stockholders") and Genesis Park Holdings provides that, of the nine (9) or more directors that will sit on the Redwire Board, (i) the AE Industrial Stockholders will be permitted to designate four (4) directors for election to the Redwire Board, which number would be reduced once the AE Industrial Stockholders no longer hold fifty percent (50%) or more of the Redwire common stock beneficially owned by the AE Industrial Stockholders (excluding Redwire common stock beneficially owned by Seller) at the Acquisition Closing and (ii) Seller will be permitted to designate one (1) director for election to the Redwire Board so long as Seller continues to hold twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Redwire common stock beneficially owned by Seller (excluding Redwire common stock beneficially owned by the AE Industrial Stockholders) at the Acquisition Closing, provided that so long as the AE Industrial Stockholders and Seller collectively may nominate an aggregate of five (5) directors to the Redwire Board, all but one (1) director must be independent under NYSE listing standards and, if less than five (5) directors, a majority must be independent.

***Redwire expects to incur substantial expenses related to the Transactions, including with respect to integration.***

Redwire expects to incur substantial expenses in integrating the business, operations, systems, technologies, policies and procedures of Edge Autonomy with those of Redwire. While Redwire has assumed that a certain level of expenses would be incurred, there are a number of factors beyond its control that could affect the total amount or the timing of the expenses relating to the integration of Redwire's and Edge Autonomy's operations. Many of the expenses that will be incurred, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately at the present time. As a result, the expenses associated with the Transactions could, particularly in the near term, reduce the savings that Redwire expects to achieve from the elimination of duplicative expenses and the realization of economies of scale and cost savings following the completion of the Transactions, and impact Redwire's business and operations and the market price of the Redwire common stock.

***The market price of our common stock may decline as a result of the Transactions.***

The market price of our common stock may decline as a result of the Transactions if (a) Redwire does not achieve the perceived benefits of the Transactions as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial or industry analysts, or (b) the effect of the Transactions on Redwire's financial results is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts. Redwire stockholders prior to the Mergers may not wish to continue to invest in Redwire, or for other reasons may wish to dispose of some or all of their shares of our common stock. In addition, the expiration of the lock-up set forth in the A&R Investor Rights Agreement may result in additional shares of our

------

common stock being sold. If, following the Acquisition Closing, significant amounts of our common stock are sold, the price of our common stock could decline.

***The historical consolidated financial information of Edge Autonomy and the unaudited pro forma information included and incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement may not be a reliable indicator of future results.***

We and Edge Autonomy have no prior history as a combined company and our assets and operations have not been managed on a combined basis. As a result, our unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, which was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, and historical financial statements of our and Edge Autonomy's businesses are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have actually occurred had the Transactions not been completed at or as of the dates indicated, nor is it indicative of the future operating results or financial position of the combined company.

Our unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that the combined company may achieve as a result of the Transactions, nor does it reflect the costs to integrate the operations of Edge Autonomy or the costs necessary to achieve any cost savings, operating synergies and revenue enhancements. Our unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement is based in part on certain assumptions regarding the Transactions. We believe the assumptions underlying such unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are reasonable under the circumstances, however, such assumptions and estimates are preliminary and may not prove to be accurate over time. In addition, if and to the extent there are any changes in market conditions affecting the Transactions, then the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the future operating results or financial position of the combined company may be impacted, and such impact may be material. We have no obligation to update the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information for any subsequent event and may not do so.

As a result, investors should not place any undue reliance on our unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, and our actual results following the completion of the Transactions may differ from those that are anticipated.

***Redwire may need to incur additional indebtedness in the future.***

In connection with executing Redwire's business strategies following the Transactions, Redwire may need to incur additional indebtedness to fund working capital or other corporate needs, including the repayment of Edge Autonomy's outstanding indebtedness and transaction expenses incurred to acquire Edge Autonomy. The amount of such indebtedness could have material adverse consequences for Redwire, including subjecting Redwire to debt covenants that may limit Redwire's activities, flexibility or ability to take advantage of business opportunities, limiting the amount of free cash flow available for future operations, acquisitions, dividends, stock repurchases or other uses, and making Redwire more vulnerable to economic or industry downturns, including interest rate increases, the impact of which could have a material adverse effect on Redwire's results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

***Recent tariff actions by the United States and other countries may adversely affect demand for Redwire's and Edge Autonomy's products and services, as well as increase manufacturing costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.***

The current U.S. administration recently announced significant tariff actions on imports from a broad set of countries, including Canada, Mexico, European Union member states, Japan and China. The effects of these tariffs cannot be predicted with certainty but there is a likelihood that they will create increased supply chain costs for certain inputs to the manufacture of both Redwire and Edge Autonomy products and potentially cause shortages of certain raw materials or supplied components. In response to these tariffs, U.S. trading partners have imposed, or are likely to impose, their own tariffs, which could have the effect of increasing the cost of both Redwire and Edge Autonomy products and services that are sold to or in foreign countries. In addition, many economists and other

------

market experts have indicated an increased likelihood of global recession as a result of the potential disruption to international trade.

Although a majority of Redwire's sales are to domestic customers and a significant portion of Edge Autonomy's sales to non-U.S. customers is supplied from its factory in Europe, which should mitigate the effects of tariff actions on such sales, foreign sales are expected to represent a significant portion of Redwire's and Edge Autonomy's combined total revenues. Accordingly, these trade actions and the widespread uncertainty and international tensions resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, the effect on the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies, may adversely affect revenues, costs of sales and production volumes, any of which could materially and adversely harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

**Risks Related to this Offering**

***The price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly, and this may make it difficult for you to resell shares of our common stock owned by you at times or at prices you find attractive.***

The trading price of our common stock may fluctuate widely as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. In addition, the stock market is subject to fluctuations in the share prices and trading volumes that affect the market prices of the shares of many companies. These broad market fluctuations have adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Among the factors that could affect our stock price are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adverse economic conditions, trade policies, political conditions, outbreaks of war, disasters, or regulatory or other policy changes in states or countries where we have a concentration of our business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fluctuations in our financial results, revenues and expenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• quarterly and annual variations in our operating results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the market's expectations about our operating results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• loss of revenues;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning us or the industries in which we operate in general;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• news reports relating to trends in our markets

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in laws and regulations affecting our business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• material announcements by us or our competitors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the impact or perceived impact of developments relating to our acquisitions such as the Transactions, including the possible perception by securities analysts or investors that such acquisitions divert management attention from our core operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• market volatility;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the U.S.-based credit markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in current U.S. or global economic conditions, including an extended slowdown in the markets in which we operate;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a downgrade to our corporate credit rating, the credit ratings of our outstanding debt or other market speculation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• general conditions in the industries in which we operate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our investments in geographic expansion and to increase our presence in existing markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to successfully execute our growth strategy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a cybersecurity attack or any other interruption in information technology and/or data security that may impact our operations or the operations of third parties that support us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• legal proceedings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to comply with non-U.S. laws, regulations and policies; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• sales of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock by our directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur.

In recent years, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. Such fluctuations, as well as general political conditions, the current economic conditions, or interest rate or currency rate fluctuations, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. This volatility frequently has occurred without regard to the operating performance of the affected companies, and the price of our common stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with us, which could materially reduce our share price.

***Our stock price may be negatively affected by fluctuations in our financial results.***

The market price of our common stock may be subject to fluctuations due not only to general economic and stock market conditions but also to a change in sentiment in the market regarding our operations, business prospects, liquidity or this offering. Our operating results, revenues and expenses may also fluctuate for many other reasons, many of which are outside of our control, such as: competition; our ability to control expenses; loss of revenues; changes or consolidation in the industries in which we operate; our investments in geographic expansion and to increase our presence in existing markets; interest rate fluctuations; successful execution of our strategic growth plans; managerial execution; employee retention; growing risks associated with international operations; foreign currency and exchange rate fluctuations; inflation; litigation; acquisitions of other companies or assets; or our investments in other corporate resources. In addition, changes in accounting policies or practices may affect our level of net income. Fluctuations in our financial results, revenues and expenses may cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

***There may be future sales or other dilution of our equity, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.***

Except as described under "Underwriting," we are not restricted from issuing additional shares of our common stock, including any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, shares of our common stock. The issuance of any additional shares of our common stock or convertible securities could be substantially dilutive to holders of our common stock. Moreover, to the extent that we issue restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock, performance stock units, stock appreciation rights, options or warrants to purchase our shares of our common stock in the future and those stock appreciation rights, options or warrants are exercised or as the restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock or performance stock units vest, our stockholders may experience further dilution. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights that entitle holders to purchase their pro rata share of any offering of shares of any class or series and, therefore, such sales or offerings could result in increased dilution to our stockholders. The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of shares of our common stock made after this offering or the perception that such sales could occur.

------

***If securities or industry press or analysts cease covering our common stock, publish negative research or reports about our business, or if they change their recommendations regarding our common stock adversely, the share price and trading volume of our common stock could decline.***

The trading market for shares of our common stock may be influenced by the articles, research and reports that industry or securities analysts and press publish about us or our business. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our common stock, or if industry press publishes negative articles about our Company, the share price of our common stock would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceased coverage of our Company or failed to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our share price or trading volume to decline.

***Our common stock is equity and is subordinate to our existing and future indebtedness.***

Shares of our common stock are equity interests in the Company and do not constitute indebtedness. As such, shares of our common stock will rank junior to all indebtedness and other non-equity claims on the Company with respect to assets available to satisfy claims on the Company, including in a liquidation of the Company.

------

**USE OF PROCEEDS** 

We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $244.9 million (or approximately $281.8 if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full), after deducting underwriting discounts and our estimated offering expenses.

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering as follows in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Coordination Agreement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the first $40 million of the net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts but before our estimated offering expenses, shall be added to Redwire's cash on hand for working capital and other corporate uses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an amount equal to the greater of (A) 25% of the net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts but before our estimated offering expenses and (B) $50 million will, at Bain's proper exercise of the Purchase Election, be applied to purchase a portion of Bain's shares of convertible preferred stock based on the then-current conversion rate of the convertible preferred stock at a price based on the per share price of Redwire common stock sold by Redwire in this offering; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the balance, after deducting underwriting discounts but before our estimated offering expenses, shall be added to Redwire's cash on hand for working capital and other corporate uses, including the repayment of the Seller Note in accordance with its terms (including the Prepayment Obligation).

Interest on the Seller Note will accrue as follows, and will be payable in arrears quarterly, at Redwire's option, in cash or in-kind at an annual rate equal to: (x)(i) from the Acquisition Closing through July 15, 2025, and (ii) from July 16, 2025 through December 31, 2025, in each case, fifteen percent (15.00%) and (y) from and after January 1, 2026, eighteen percent (18.00%).

The Seller Note matures on the date that is the earliest of (i) a change of control of the majority of outstanding Redwire common stock (determined on a fully diluted and as converted basis), or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Redwire; (ii) the date that is ninety-one (91) days following the maturity date of certain existing Redwire or Edge Autonomy credit facilities; and (iii) acceleration following an Event of Default (as defined therein).

Following this offering, AE Industrial will own approximately 55.0% of the common stock of Redwire (including through its shares of convertible preferred stock on an as converted basis) and Bain will own approximately 13.2% of the common stock of Redwire (including through its shares of convertible preferred stock on an as converted basis but without giving effect to the exercise by Bain, if applicable, of the Purchase Election).

**SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA** 

**Supplemental Non-GAAP Information**

Redwire uses and, prior to its acquisition, Edge Autonomy used, Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) to evaluate its operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources which are not calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") and are considered to be non-GAAP financial measures.. This non-GAAP financial performance measure is used to supplement the financial information presented on a U.S. GAAP basis and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the relevant U.S. GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with information presented on a U.S. GAAP basis. Because not all companies use identical calculations, Redwire's presentation of its own or Edge Autonomy's Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA of Redwire is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for interest expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, impairment expense, transaction expenses, acquisition integration costs, purchase accounting fair value adjustment related to deferred revenue, severance costs, capital market and advisory fees, litigation-related expenses, equity-based compensation, committed equity facility transaction costs, debt financing costs, gain on sale of joint ventures, net of costs incurred, and warrant liability change in fair value adjustment.

Adjusted EBITDA of Edge Autonomy is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for interest expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, transaction expenses, equity-based compensation, debt financing costs, management fees, board compensation, Riga fire costs, non-recurring integration costs and reversal of contingent consideration.

The table below presents a reconciliation of Redwire Adjusted EBITDA to Redwire net income (loss), computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the following periods:

**CERTAIN MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES** 

The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to non-U.S. holders (as defined below) with respect to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of shares of our common stock, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax considerations related thereto. This summary is based on current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code"), final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative rulings and judicial opinions, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. We have not sought any ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following summary, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with such statements and conclusions.

This summary is limited to non-U.S. holders who purchase shares of our common stock issued pursuant to this offering and who hold such shares of our common stock as "capital assets" within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to a particular non-U.S. holder in light of that non-U.S. holder's individual circumstances, nor does it address any alternative minimum tax, impact of the Medicare surtax on certain net investment income, any aspects of U.S. federal estate or gift tax laws or tax considerations arising under the laws of any non-U.S., state or local jurisdiction.

This discussion also does not address tax considerations applicable to a non-U.S. holder subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, including, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• partnerships or other pass-through entities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• tax-exempt organizations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• tax-qualified retirement plans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• dealers in securities or currencies;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• certain U.S. expatriates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• controlled foreign corporations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• passive foreign investment companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons that own, or have owned, actually or constructively, more than 5% of our common stock; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons that will hold our common stock as a position in a hedging transaction, "straddle" or "conversion transaction" for tax purposes.

Accordingly, we urge you to consult with your own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and other tax considerations of acquiring, holding and disposing of shares of our common stock.

If a partnership (or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of shares of our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Any partner in a partnership holding shares of our common stock (and such partnership) should consult their own tax advisors.

PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX RULES OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATY.

------

**Definition of Non-U.S. Holder**

In general, a "non-U.S. holder" is any beneficial owner of shares of our common stock (other than a partnership or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is not a U.S. person. A "U.S. person" is a beneficial owner of shares of our common stock that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a trust if (a) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) it has in effect a valid election under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

**Distributions on Our Common Stock**

Distributions, if any, on our common stock will generally constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. If a distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be treated first as reducing your adjusted basis in your shares of our common stock, and, to the extent it exceeds such adjusted basis, as capital gain from the sale or exchange of such common stock, which will be treated as described under the section titled "— Gain on Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Shares of Our Common Stock" below.

Dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder on shares of our common stock will generally be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30%, or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. To receive the benefit of a reduced treaty rate, a non-U.S. holder must furnish to us or our paying agent a valid IRS Form W-8BEN (or other applicable form) certifying, under penalties of perjury, such non-U.S. holder's qualification for the reduced rate.

If a non-U.S. holder holds shares of our common stock in connection with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and dividends paid on shares of our common stock are effectively connected with such non-U.S. holder's U.S. trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States), the non-U.S. holder will be exempt from the aforementioned U.S. federal withholding tax. To claim the exemption, the non-U.S. holder must furnish to us or our paying agent a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or applicable successor form). Such effectively connected dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the same graduated U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to U.S. persons. A non-U.S. holder that is a corporation may also be subject to an additional branch profits tax equal to 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, as adjusted.

A non-U.S. holder that claims an exemption from withholding or the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty will generally be required to satisfy applicable certification and other requirements prior to the distribution date. Non-U.S. holders that do not timely provide us or our paying agent with the required certification may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.

------

**Gain on Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Shares of Our Common Stock**

Subject to the discussion below regarding backup withholding, a non-U.S. holder will not generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other taxable disposition of shares of our common stock, unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business carried on by the non-U.S. holder in the United States and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the gain is attributable to a permanent establishment of the non-U.S. holder maintained in the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the non-U.S. holder is an individual present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and certain other requirements are met; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our common stock constitutes a "U.S. real property interest" by reason of our status as a "U.S. real property holding corporation," or USRPHC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding your disposition of, or your holding period for, our common stock, and, in the case where shares of our common stock are regularly traded on an established securities market, you own, or are treated as owning, more than 5% of our common stock at any time during the foregoing period.

We believe we currently are not, and we do not anticipate becoming, a USRPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors about the consequences that could result if we are, or become, a USRPHC.

Gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the same graduated U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to U.S. persons. A non-U.S. holder that is a corporation may also be subject to an additional branch profits tax equal to 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, as adjusted. Non-U.S. holders should consult any applicable income tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

Gain described in the second bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a flat 30% rate (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty), but may be offset by U.S. source capital losses realized during the same taxable year. Non-U.S. holders should consult any applicable income tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

**Backup Withholding and Information Reporting**

Generally, we must report annually to the IRS and to each non-U.S. holder the amount of dividends paid to, and the tax withheld with respect to, each non-U.S. holder. This information may also be made available to the tax authorities of the country in which the non-U.S. holder resides or is incorporated under the provisions of a specific treaty or agreement. Backup withholding will not generally apply to distributions to a non-U.S. holder provided the non-U.S. holder furnishes to us or our paying agent the required certification as to its non-U.S. status, such as by providing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8ECI, or certain other requirements are met. Notwithstanding the foregoing, backup withholding may apply if either we or our paying agent has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that the holder is a U.S. person that is not an exempt recipient.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a credit against a non-U.S. holder's U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such non-U.S. holder to a refund, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

**Foreign Accounts Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA")**

Under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (such Sections commonly referred to as "FATCA"), a 30% United States federal withholding tax may apply to any dividends paid to: (i) a "foreign financial institution" (as specifically defined in the Code) which does not provide sufficient documentation, typically on IRS Form W-8BEN-E, evidencing either: (x) an exemption from FATCA, or (y) its compliance (or deemed compliance) with FATCA (which may alternatively be in the form of compliance with an intergovernmental agreement with the United States) in a manner which avoids withholding, or (ii) a "non-financial foreign entity" (as specifically defined in the Code)

------

which does not provide sufficient documentation, typically on IRS Form W-8BEN-E, evidencing either: (x) an exemption from FATCA, or (y) adequate information regarding certain substantial United States beneficial owners of such entity (if any). You are urged to consult your own tax advisor regarding these rules.

------

exchangeable for shares of our common stock (including without limitation, our common stock or such other securities which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by such person in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and securities which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant) (collectively with our common stock, the "Lock-Up Securities"), (2) enter into any hedging, swap or other agreement or transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Lock-Up Securities, in cash or otherwise, (3) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of Lock-Up Securities, or (4) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing. The foregoing also precludes our directors, executive officers and each of AE Industrial and Bain from engaging in any hedging or other transactions or arrangements (including, without limitation, any short sale or the purchase or sale of, or entry into, any put or call option, or combination thereof, forward, swap or any other derivative transaction or instrument, however described or defined) designed or intended, or which would reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, a sale or disposition or transfer (whether by them or any other person) of any economic consequences of ownership, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, of Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction or arrangement (or instrument provided for thereunder) would be settled by delivery of Lock-Up Securities, in cash or otherwise.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to certain requirements, our directors and executive officers, as well as each of AE Industrial and Bain, may transfer their Lock-Up Securities: (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, or for bona fide estate planning purposes; (ii) by will or intestacy; (iii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of them or their immediate families; (iv) to a partnership, limited liability company or other entity of which they and their immediate families are the legal and beneficial owner of all of the outstanding equity securities or similar interests; (v) to a nominee or custodian of a person or entity to whom a disposition or transfer would be permissible under clauses (i) through (iv) above; (vi) in the case of each of AE Industrial and Bain, (A) to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity that is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act), or to any investment fund or other entity controlling, controlled by, managing or managed by or under common control with the undersigned or affiliates of the undersigned (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where the undersigned is a partnership, to its general partner or a successor partnership or fund, or any other funds managed by such partnership), or (B) as part of a distribution to members or stockholders of each of AE Industrial and Bain; (vii) by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order, divorce settlement, divorce decree or separation agreement; (viii) to the Company from an employee of the Company upon death, disability or termination of employment, in each case, of such employee; (ix) as part of a sale of the Lock-Up Securities acquired in open market transactions after the closing date for this offering; (x) to the Company in connection with the vesting, settlement, or exercise of restricted stock units, options, warrants or other rights to purchase shares of our common stock (including, in each case, by way of "net" or "cashless" exercise), including for the payment of exercise price and tax and remittance payments due as a result of the vesting, settlement, or exercise of such restricted stock units, options, warrants or rights, provided that any such shares of our common stock received upon such exercise, vesting or settlement shall be subject to the terms described above, and provided further that any such restricted stock units, options, warrants or rights are held pursuant to an agreement or equity awards granted under a stock incentive plan or other equity award plan, and each such agreement or plan is described in this prospectus supplement; (xi) in connection with certain change of control transactions; (xii) pursuant to a 10b5-1 trading plan that complies with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act that has been entered into prior to the beginning of the Restricted Period; and (xiii) in the case of Bain, to the Company in accordance with the Registration Rights Coordination Agreement.

In accordance with the Registration Rights Coordination Agreement, if any of our stockholders who has entered into a lock-up agreement (each, a "Triggering Stockholder") is granted an early release or waiver from the restrictions described herein during the Restricted Period (each, a "Triggering Release"), then each of AE Industrial and Bain shall also be granted an early release or waiver, as applicable, from their lockup restriction obligations on the same terms and conditions as the Triggering Release with respect to the same percentage of their Lock-Up Securities as the percentage that the securities being released or waived in the Triggering Release represent with respect to the Lock-Up Securities held by the Triggering Stockholder at the time of the Triggering Release.

------

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the pro rata release rights or waiver described in this paragraph will not apply if it is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the lock-up restrictions described above.

To the extent any of our officers, directors or stockholders enters into a lock-up agreement in connection with this offering that includes a Restricted Period of less than 90 days, then each of AE Industrial and Bain will automatically be deemed have the right to and benefit of such shorter Restricted Period.

In accordance with the Registration Rights Coordination Agreement, if the "Net Proceeds" (as defined in the Registration Rights Coordination Agreement) of this offering amount to less than $90,000,000, then Bain's lock-up agreement in connection with this offering shall terminate and be of no further effect two (2) days following Bain's prior written notice to the Company, with a copy to J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, BofA Securities, Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC.

The underwriters have advised us that, pursuant to Regulation M of the Securities Act, they may also engage in other activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the common stock, including the imposition of penalty bids. This means that if the representatives of the underwriters purchase common stock in the open market in stabilizing transactions or to cover short sales, the representatives can require the underwriters that sold those shares as part of this offering to repay the underwriting discount received by them.

These activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock, and, as a result, the price of the common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If the underwriters commence these activities, they may discontinue them at any time. The underwriters may carry out these transactions on the NYSE, in the over the counter market or otherwise.

We and the underwriters have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

A prospectus supplement in electronic format may be made available on websites maintained by the underwriters, or selling group members, if any, participating in this offering. The underwriters may agree to allocate a number of shares of our common stock for sale to their online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the underwriters that may make Internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations.

**ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS**

This prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") using the "shelf" registration process. Under this shelf process, we may, from time to time, offer and sell up to an aggregate of $400,000,000 of our securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings.

This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities that we may offer. Each time we use this prospectus to offer securities, we will, to the extent required by law, provide you with a prospectus supplement that contains specific information about the terms of that offering. The prospectus supplement may also supplement, update or change information contained in this prospectus. Therefore, if there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and the prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in the prospectus supplement.

We have not authorized anyone to provide you with any information other than that contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, any related prospectus supplement or in any free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of us or to which we have referred you. We take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. We are not making an offer of these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus and any related prospectus supplement to this prospectus is accurate as of the date on their respective covers, and that any information incorporated by reference herein or therein is accurate only as of the date of the document incorporated by reference, unless we indicate otherwise.

To understand the terms of the securities described in this prospectus, you should carefully read any applicable prospectus supplement. You should also read the documents we have referred you to under "Where You Can Find More Information" and "Information Incorporated By Reference" below for information about us. The shelf registration statement, including the exhibits thereto, can be read at the SEC's website as described under "Where You Can Find More Information."

Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in this prospectus to the "Company," "Redwire," "we," "us," "our" and similar terms refer to Redwire Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. The phrase "this prospectus" refers to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement unless the context otherwise requires.

**CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference may contain and refer to certain statements that are not historical facts that contain "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "possible," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "would" and similar expressions and include references to assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable and relate to its future prospects, developments and business strategies. Such statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated due to a number of facts, including but not limited to those described from time to time in our reports filed or furnished with the SEC, and in particular those factors set forth in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our annual and quarterly reports filed with the SEC.

While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, there should be no inference that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

**THE COMPANY**

We are a global leader in mission critical space solutions and high reliability components for the next generation space economy, with valuable intellectual property for solar power generation, in-space 3D printing and manufacturing, avionics, critical components, sensors, digital engineering and space-based biotechnology. We combine decades of flight heritage with an agile and innovative culture. Our "Heritage plus Innovation" strategy enables us to combine proven performance with new, innovative capabilities to provide our customers with the building blocks for the present and future of space infrastructure. Our mission is to accelerate humanity's expansion into space by delivering reliable, economical and sustainable infrastructure for future generations. With decades of proven flight heritage uniquely combined with innovative products and culture, Redwire is uniquely positioned to assist our customers in solving the complex challenges of future space missions and industries. Redwire has three primary areas of focus that form our business: (1) Enabling space mission providers, such as government agencies and large prime contractors, with a broad portfolio of space infrastructure, systems, subsystems, and components; (2) providing the infrastructure and technology needed for people to permanently live and work in space; and (3) assisting international spacefaring allies in the development of organic space capabilities.

Redwire is a global leader in space infrastructure enabling space mission providers with the foundational building blocks needed for their complex space missions to succeed. Space infrastructure is critical to our terrestrial economy in areas such as telecommunications, navigation and timing, climate monitoring, weather forecasting, Earth observation, national security, and even planetary defense. Redwire does not offer full mission solutions for all these areas, but our government and marquee customers such as government agencies and large prime contractors do. We offer a broad array of products and services, many of which have been enabling space missions since the 1960s and have been flight-proven on over 200 spaceflight missions, including missions such as the GPS constellation, New Horizons and Perseverance. We are also a provider of innovative technologies with the potential to help transform the economics of space and create new markets for its exploration and commercialization. Examples of our proprietary technologies include deployable structures, roll out solar array systems, human-rated camera systems, in-space servicing, assembly and manufacturing products, and advanced payload adapters.

We believe the space economy is at an inflection point. The reduction of launch costs over the last decade has eliminated the single largest economic barrier to entry for the expanded utilization of space, and the increasing cadence of launches provides more flexible, reliable access. This lower cost access has resulted in both the expansion and modernization of traditional national security and civil uses of space and has enticed new commercial entrants to invest substantial capital to develop new space-based business models. Our goal is to provide a full suite of infrastructure solutions, including mission-critical components, services and systems that will contribute to a dramatic expansion of the space-based economy. We believe that our products and services are the foundational building blocks essential to the growth of the space civil, commercial and national security ecosystem now and into the future.

Redwire was formed to fill a void in the middle market for a pure play, public space infrastructure company with scale. We are achieving this goal by combining proven space technology providers with next generation space disruptors into a single, integrated platform. The Company, in its current form, was founded in 2020 by private equity firm AE Industrial Partners Fund II, LP ("AEI Fund II"), but the heritage of the various businesses that were brought together to form Redwire stretch back decades.

We have grown organically while also continuing to integrate several acquisitions from a fragmented landscape of space-focused technology companies with innovative capabilities and deep flight heritage. Strategic acquisitions that augment our technology and product offerings are a key part of our growth strategy. We have completed nine acquisitions since March 2020, which collectively have provided us with a wide variety of complementary technologies and solutions to serve our target markets and customers.

On September 2, 2021, a merger (the "Merger") with Genesis Park Acquisition Corp. ("GPAC") was consummated pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") dated March 25, 2021 by and among GPAC, Shepard Merger Sub Corporation ("Merger Sub"), a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of GPAC, Cosmos Intermediate, LLC ("Cosmos") and AE Red Holdings, LLC (formerly known as Redwire, LLC, and prior thereto as Cosmos Parent, LLC) ("Holdings"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the

------

parties completed a business combination transaction by which, (i) GPAC domesticated as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") and the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands, (ii) Merger Sub merged with and into Cosmos, with Cosmos being the surviving entity in the merger (the "First Merger"), and (iii) immediately following the First Merger, Cosmos merged with and into GPAC, with GPAC being the surviving entity in the merger (the "Second Merger" and, together with the First Merger, the "Merger"). Upon the closing of the Merger, GPAC was renamed Redwire Corporation.

We are headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. Our principal executive offices are located at 8226 Philips Highway, Suite 101, Jacksonville, Florida 32256, and our telephone number is (650) 701-7722. We maintain a website at https://redwirespace.com/ where general information about us is available. The information contained in, or that may be accessed through, our website is not part of, and is not incorporated into, this prospectus or the registration statement of which it forms a part. Our common stock and warrants trade on NYSE under the symbols "RDW" and "RDW WS," respectively.

**RISK FACTORS**

Investing in our securities involves risks. Before you make a decision to buy our securities, in addition to the risks and uncertainties discussed above under "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," you should carefully consider the specific risks incorporated by reference in this prospectus to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, and all other information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the risk factors and other information contained in any applicable prospectus supplement. If any of these risks actually occur, it may materially harm our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. As a result, the market price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. Additionally, the risks and uncertainties incorporated by reference in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may become material and adversely affect our business.

**USE OF PROCEEDS**

Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of our securities offered by us under this prospectus for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, the repayment of debt, working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions. We retain broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered hereby. Additional information on the use of net proceeds from the sale of the securities that we may offer from time to time by this prospectus may be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular offering.

------

**DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK**

The following summary of the material terms of the Company's securities is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities, and is qualified by reference to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") and the Company's Bylaws (the "Bylaws"), which are exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The Company urges you to read the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws and the applicable provisions of Delaware law.

**General**

The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, which number includes the currently issued and outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

**Common Stock**

***Dividend Rights***

Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the Company's preferred stock or any class or series of stock having a preference over or the right to participate with the Company's common stock with respect to the payment of dividends, dividends may be declared and paid ratably on the Company's common stock out of the assets of the Company that are legally available for this purpose at such times and in such amounts as the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") in its discretion shall determine.

***Voting Rights***

Each outstanding share of the Company's common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of shares of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights.

***Preemptive Rights***

The Company's common stock is not entitled to preemptive or other similar subscription rights to purchase any of our securities.

**Conversion or Redemption Rights**

The Company's common stock is neither convertible nor redeemable.

***Liquidation Rights***

Upon liquidation, the holders of the Company's common stock are entitled to receive pro rata the Company's assets that are legally available for distribution, after payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any holders of the Company's preferred stock then outstanding.

**Preferred Stock**

The Board may, without further action by the Company's stockholders, from time to time, direct the issuance of shares of preferred stock in series and may, at the time of issuance, determine the designations, powers, preferences, privileges and relative participating, optional or special rights as well as the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of the Company's common stock. Satisfaction of any dividend preferences of outstanding shares of the Company's preferred stock would reduce the amount of funds available for the payment of dividends on shares of the Company's common stock. Holders of shares of the Company's preferred stock may be entitled to receive a preference payment in the event of our liquidation before any payment is made to the holders of shares of the Company's common stock.

Under certain circumstances, the issuance of shares of the Company's preferred stock may render more difficult or tend to discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, the assumption of control by a holder of a large block

------

of the Company's securities or the removal of incumbent management. Upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors then in office, the Company's Board may issue shares of the Company's preferred stock with voting and conversion rights which could adversely affect the holders of shares of the Company's common stock.

***Quorum***

The holders of a majority of the voting power of the capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise required by law, the rules of any stock exchange upon which the Company's securities are listed or provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or the Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designation"); provided, however, that where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of such class or classes or series of the capital stock of the Company's issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on such matter, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to the vote on such matter. If, however, such quorum will not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the chairperson of the meeting or stockholders holding a majority in voting power of the shares of the Company's capital stock, present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time without notice other than announcement at the meeting until a quorum shall be present. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting will be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

***Anti-Takeover Effects of The Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws***

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, Certificate of Designation, the investment agreements governing the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the DGCL contain provisions, which are summarized in the following paragraphs that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the Company's Board. These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, reduce the Company's vulnerability to a hostile change of control and enhance the ability of the Board to maximize stockholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire the Company. However, these provisions may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, deter or prevent a merger or acquisition of the Company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or other takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that may result in a premium over the prevailing market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders.

These provisions include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Classified Board:** The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that its Board be divided into three classes of directors, with the classes as nearly equal in number as possible, and with the directors serving three-year terms. As a result, approximately one-third of the Board will be elected each year. The classification of directors will have the effect of making it more difficult for stockholders to change the composition of the Board. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation also provides that, subject to any rights of holders of the Company's preferred stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the number of directors will be fixed exclusively pursuant to a resolution adopted by the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Stockholder Action by Written Consent:** The Company's Certificate of Incorporation will preclude stockholder action by written consent at any time when Holdings and its permitted transferees beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 50% in voting power of the Company's stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Special Meetings of Stockholders:** The Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provides that, except as required by law, special meetings of the Company's stockholders may be called at any time only by or at the direction of the Board or the chairman of the Board. The Company's Bylaws prohibit the

------

conduct of any business at a special meeting other than as specified in the notice for such meeting. These provisions may have the effect of deferring, delaying or discouraging hostile takeovers, or changes in control or management of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Advance Notice Procedures:** The Company's Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of the Company's stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to the Board. Stockholders at an annual meeting are only able to consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board or by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has given the Company's secretary timely written notice, in proper form, of the stockholder's intention to bring that business before the meeting. Although the Bylaws do not give the Board the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting, the Bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Removal of Directors; Vacancies:** The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that directors may be removed with or without cause upon the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class; provided, however, at any time when Holdings and its permitted transferees beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 50% in voting power of the Company's stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, directors may only be removed for cause, and only by the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66 2∕3% in voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of the Company's stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class. In addition, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that, subject to the rights of any holders of the Company's common stock under the Investor Rights Agreement and the rights granted to one or more series of the Company's preferred stock then outstanding, at any time when Holdings and its permitted transferees beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 50% in voting power of the Company's stock, any newly created directorship on the Board that results from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the Board will be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. If a member of the Board is appointed by Bain Capital pursuant to the Investment Agreement, dated October 28, 2022, by and between the Company and Bain Capital, and there is a vacancy on the Board resulting from the death, disability, resignation or removal of such director, Bain Capital shall be entitled to designate the director to fill such vacancy. Further, the Certificate of Designation provides that if dividends on any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid for three or more dividend periods (whether or not consecutive) ending after the seven year and six month anniversary of the initial issue date, the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to vote for the election of two additional members to the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Supermajority Approval Requirements:** The Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the Board is expressly authorized to make, alter, amend, change, add to, rescind or repeal, in whole or in part, the Bylaws without a stockholder vote in any matter not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Delaware and the Company's Certificate of Incorporation. The Bylaws may be amended or repealed, and new bylaws may be adopted, by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2∕3% of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote on such amendment, repeal or adoption, voting together as a single class; provided, however, that if the Board recommends that stockholders approve such amendment or repeal at such meeting of stockholders, such amendment or repeal shall only require the affirmative vote of the majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote on such amendment or repeal, voting together as a single class. At any time when Holdings and its permitted transferees beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 50% in voting power of all outstanding shares of the Company's capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, any amendment, alteration, rescission or repeal of the Bylaws by the Company's stockholders will require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2∕3% in voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of the

------

Company's stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as AEI or Bain Capital satisfy the 25% Beneficial Ownership Requirement, without the affirmative vote or written consent of the Required Holders (as defined below), the Company may not amend, waive, alter or repeal any provision of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or comparable organizational documents in a manner that would adversely affect the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. "Required Holders" means all of (a) Bain Capital (as long as the Bain Capital satisfies the 25% Beneficial Ownership Requirement),(b) AEI (as long as AEI satisfies the 25% Beneficial Ownership Requirement) and (c) in the event the Bain Capital does not constitute a Required Holder pursuant to clause (a) and AEI does not constitute a Required Holder pursuant to clause (b), the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

The DGCL provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, is required to amend a corporation's certificate of incorporation, unless the certificate of incorporation requires a greater percentage.

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that at any time when Holdings and its permitted transferees beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 50% in voting power of the Company's capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, the following provisions in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation may be amended, altered, repealed or rescinded only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2∕3% (as opposed to a majority threshold that would apply if Holdings and its permitted transferees beneficially own, in the aggregate, 50% or more) in voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of the Company's stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provision requiring a 66 2∕3% supermajority vote for stockholders to amend the Company's Bylaws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provisions providing for a classified board of directors (the election and term of the Company's directors);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provisions regarding resignation and removal of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provisions regarding entering into business combinations with interested stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provisions regarding stockholder action by written consent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provisions regarding calling special meetings of stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provisions regarding filling vacancies on the Company's Board and newly created directorships;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provisions eliminating monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty by a director;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provision requiring exclusive forum in Delaware; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the amendment provision requiring that the above provisions be amended only with a 66 2/3% supermajority vote.

The combination of the classification of the Board, the lack of cumulative voting and the supermajority voting requirements will make it more difficult for the Company's existing stockholders to replace the Board as well as for another party to obtain control of the Company by replacing the Board. Because the Board has the power to retain and discharge the Company's officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management.

**Authorized but Unissued Shares**

The Company's authorized but unissued shares of its common stock and preferred stock will be available for future issuance without stockholder approval, subject to stock exchange rules, at the discretion of the Board. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise

------

additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. One of the effects of the existence of authorized but unissued common stock or preferred stock may be to enable the Board to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of the Company's management and possibly deprive the Company's stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of the Company's common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.

**Dissenters' Rights of Appraisal and Payment**

Under the DGCL, with certain exceptions, the Company's stockholders have appraisal rights in connection with a merger or consolidation of the Company. Pursuant to the DGCL, stockholders who properly request and perfect appraisal rights in connection with such merger or consolidation have the right to receive payment of the fair value of their shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery.

------

**DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS**

We may issue additional warrants to purchase any combination of our common stock, preferred stock or other securities. We may issue additional warrants independently or together with other securities. Additional warrants sold with other securities may be attached to or separate from the other securities. We will issue additional warrants under one or more new warrant agreements between us and a warrant agent that we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The applicable prospectus supplement will include specific terms relating to the offering. We will file the form of any new warrant agreement with the SEC, and you should read the warrant agreement for provisions that may be important to you. The applicable prospectus supplement will include some or all of the following terms:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the title of the warrants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the aggregate number of warrants offered;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the designation, number and terms of the common stock, preferred stock or other securities purchasable upon exercise of the warrants, and procedures by which the number of securities purchasable may be adjusted, if any;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the exercise price of the warrants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the dates or periods during which the warrants are exercisable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the designation and terms of any securities with which the warrants are issued;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if the warrants are issued as a unit with another security, the date on and after which the warrants and the other security will be separately transferable, if ever;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any minimum or maximum amount of warrants that may be exercised at any one time; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any terms, procedures and limitations relating to the transferability, exchange or exercise of the warrants.

------

**DESCRIPTION OF SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS**

We may, at our option, issue subscription rights independently or together with any other security, which may or may not be transferable. As part of any rights offering, we may enter into a standby underwriting or other arrangement under which the underwriters or any other person would purchase any securities that are not purchased in such rights offering. If we issue subscription rights, they may be governed by a separate subscription agent agreement that we will sign with a bank or trust company, as rights agent, that will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement. The rights agent will act solely as our agent and will not assume any obligation to any holders of rights certificates or beneficial owners of rights.

In general, a right entitles the holder to purchase for cash a specific number of shares of common stock or other securities at a specified exercise price. The rights are normally issued to stockholders as of a specific record date, may be exercised only for a limited period of time and become void following the expiration of such period. If we determine to issue subscription rights, we will accompany this prospectus with a prospectus supplement that will describe, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the record date for stockholders entitled to receive the rights;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the number of shares of common stock or other securities that may be purchased upon exercise of each right;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the exercise price of the rights;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether the rights are transferable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the period during which the rights may be exercised and when they will expire;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the steps required to exercise the rights;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the price, if any, for the subscription rights;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the number of subscription rights issued;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the terms of the shares of common stock or shares of preferred stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if applicable, the material terms of any standby underwriting or other arrangement entered into by us in connection with the offering of subscription rights;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the other terms of the subscription rights, including the terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exercise of the subscription rights;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether the rights include "oversubscription rights" so that the holder may purchase more securities if other holders do not purchase their full allotments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether we intend to sell the shares of common stock or other securities that are not purchased in the rights offering to an underwriter or other purchaser under a contractual "standby" commitment or other arrangement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any applicable United States federal income tax considerations.

If fewer than all of the rights issued in any rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed securities directly to persons other than stockholders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby arrangements, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

------

**DESCRIPTION OF UNITS**

As specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may issue units comprised of two or more of the other securities described in this prospectus in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances the securities comprising the units may be held or transferred separately;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a description of the provisions for the payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether the units will be issued in fully registered or global form.

The unit agreement, together with the terms of the underlying securities, will be filed with the SEC in connection with the offering of the specific units. You should read such filings for provisions that may be important to you.

------

**PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION**

We may sell securities offered by this prospectus from time to time in one or more transactions, including without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• directly to one or more purchasers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• through agents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in "at the market offerings" as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, into an existing trading market, or a securities exchange or otherwise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to or through underwriters, brokers or dealers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• through a combination of any of these methods; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

A distribution of shares of our securities offered by this prospectus may also be effected through the issuance of derivative securities, including without limitation, warrants, subscriptions, exchangeable securities, forward delivery contracts and the writing of options. In addition, the manner in which we may sell some or all of the shares of our securities covered by this prospectus includes, without limitation, through:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a block trade in which a broker-dealer will attempt to sell as agent, but may position or resell a portion of the block, as principal, in order to facilitate the transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• purchases by a broker-dealer, as principal, and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• privately negotiated transactions.

We may also enter into hedging transactions. For example, we may:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• enter into transactions with a broker-dealer or affiliate thereof in connection with which such broker-dealer or affiliate will engage in short sales of shares of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus, in which case such broker-dealer or affiliate may use shares of our common stock received from us to close out its short positions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• sell securities short and redeliver such shares to close out our short positions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• enter into option or other types of transactions that require us to deliver to a broker-dealer or an affiliate thereof, who will then resell or transfer shares of our common stock under this prospectus; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• loan or pledge shares of our common stock to a broker-dealer or an affiliate thereof, who may sell the loaned shares or, in an event of default in the case of a pledge, sell the pledged shares pursuant to this prospectus.

In addition, we may enter into derivative or hedging transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. In connection with such a transaction, the third parties may sell shares of our securities covered by and pursuant to this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement or other offering materials, as the case may be. If so, the third party may use securities borrowed from us or others to settle such sales and may use securities received from us to close out any related short positions. We may also loan or pledge securities covered by this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement to third parties, who may sell the loaned securities or, in an event of default in the case of a pledge, sell the pledged securities pursuant to this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement or other offering materials, as the case may be.

------

We may sell securities in and outside the United States through underwriters or dealers, directly to purchasers, including our affiliates, through agents, or through a combination of any of these methods.

The prospectus supplement will include the specific plan of distribution, which will include the following information:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• terms of the offering;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the names of any underwriters, dealers or agents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the name or names of any managing underwriter or underwriters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the purchase price of the securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the net proceeds from the sale of the securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any delayed delivery arrangements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any underwriting discounts, commissions and other items constituting underwriters' compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any public offering price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any commissions paid to agents; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the terms of any arrangement entered into with any dealer or agent.

**Sale Through Underwriters or Dealers**

If underwriters are used in the sale of shares of our securities, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Underwriters may offer our securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless we inform you otherwise in any prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.

During and after an offering through underwriters, the underwriters may purchase and sell our securities in the open market. These transactions may include overallotment and stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover syndicate short positions created in connection with the offering. The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid, which means that selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers for the offered securities sold for their account may be reclaimed by the syndicate if the offered securities are repurchased by the syndicate in stabilizing or covering transactions. These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the offered securities, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue these activities at any time.

If dealers are used in the sale of shares of our securities, we will sell the securities to them as principals. They may then resell those securities to the public at varying prices determined by the dealers at the time of resale. We will include in the prospectus supplement the names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction.

We are subject to the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, including Regulation M. Regulation M may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the securities offered in this prospectus. The anti-manipulation rules under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market. Furthermore, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of our securities to engage in market-making activities for the particular securities being distributed for a period of up

------

to two business days before the distribution. The restrictions may affect the marketability of the securities and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities for the securities.

**Direct Sales and Sales Through Agents**

We may sell our securities directly, and not through underwriters or agents. Our securities may also be sold through agents designated from time to time. In the prospectus supplement, we will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities, and we will describe any commissions payable to the agent. Unless we inform you otherwise in the prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment.

We may sell our securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect to any sale of those securities. We will describe the terms of any such sales in the prospectus supplement.

**Delayed Delivery Contracts**

If we so indicate in the prospectus supplement, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase our securities from us at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described in the prospectus supplement. The prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.

**Institutional Purchasers**

We may authorize agents, dealers or underwriters to solicit certain institutional investors to purchase offered securities on a delayed delivery basis pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified future date. The applicable prospectus supplement or other offering materials, as the case may be, will provide the details of any such arrangement, including the offering price and commissions payable on the solicitations.

We will enter into such delayed contracts only with institutional purchasers that we approve. These institutions may include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies and educational and charitable institutions.

**Market-Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions**

There is currently no market for any of the offered securities, other than our common stock and warrants that are listed on the NYSE. If the offered securities are traded after their initial issuance, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering price, depending upon prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities and other factors. While it is possible that an underwriter could inform us that it intends to make a market in the offered securities, such underwriter would not be obligated to do so, and any such market-making could be discontinued at any time without notice. Therefore, no assurance can be given as to whether an active trading market will develop for the offered securities.

In connection with any offering of our securities, the underwriters may purchase and sell our securities in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, syndicate covering transactions and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve syndicate sales of shares of our common stock in excess of the number of shares to be purchased by the underwriters in the offering, which creates a syndicate short position. "Covered" short sales are sales of shares made in an amount up to the number of shares represented by the underwriters' over-allotment option. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered syndicate short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the over-allotment option. Transactions to close out the covered syndicate short involve either purchases of shares of our common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed or the exercise of the over-allotment option. The underwriters may also make "naked" short sales of shares in excess of the over-allotment option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by

------

purchasing shares of common stock in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of bids for or purchases of shares in the open market while the offering is in progress for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities.

In connection with any offering, the underwriters may also engage in penalty bids. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be in the absence of these transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these transactions, discontinue them at any time.

**General Information**

We may have agreements with the agents, dealers and underwriters to indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute with respect to payments that the agents, dealers or underwriters may be required to make. Agents, dealers and underwriters may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of their businesses.
