Sales of our connected fitness hardware products have accounted for the substantial portion of our revenue to date.

The price used to calculate the number of the Company’s Common Stock issued for Optional Investment C will be determined on June 15, 2027 by using the VWAP of the previous 20 trading days, subject to compliance with the Nasdaq Minimum Price Rule.

In addition, pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Ahmad will join the Board of Directors of the Company upon closing of the Initial Investment.

We have incurred operating losses in the past, expect to incur operating losses in the future, and may not achieve profitability, or, if we achieve profitability, be able to maintain it in the future.

We have incurred operating losses each year since our inception, including a net loss of $34.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, and expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. We had an accumulated deficit of $202.6 million at December 31, 2024. We expect our operating expenses to increase in the future as we increase our sales and marketing efforts, continue to invest in technology and engineering, expand our operating and retail infrastructure, add training and fitness programs, classes, content, and software features to our streaming platform, expand into new geographies, and invest in new or complementary products, equipment, accessories, content, and services for our immersive, customizable, and digital fitness platform, which include the CLMBR vertical climbing machine, FORME Studio, FORME Studio Lift, accompanying accessories, and our coaching services which we collectively refer to as the “FORME platform.” Further, as a public company, we have incurred, and will continue to incur substantial additional legal, accounting, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. These efforts and additional expenses may be more costly than we expect, and we may not be able to increase our revenue to offset any increase in our expenses. If our revenue does not grow at a greater rate than our operating expenses, we will not be able to achieve or maintain profitability.

Risks Related to Financial, Accounting, and Tax Matters

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and in the future, we may identify additional material weaknesses or fail to maintain an effective system of controls. If we do not remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, or if we fail to establish and maintain effective internal control, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or file our periodic reports in a timely manner, which may cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and may lead to a decline in the market price of the Common Stock.

Effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports in a timely manner. In preparing our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, management identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses we identified related to to (1) the lack of a sufficient number of trained professional with the expertise to design, implement, and execute a formal risk assessment process and formal accounting policies, procedures, and control over accounting and financial reporting to ensure the timely and accurate recording of financial transactions while maintaining a segregation of duties. This, coupled with management’s accounting software system has certain system limitations that do not allow for an effective control environment and the absence of sufficient other mitigating controls, created segregation of duties deficiencies (2) the lack of a sufficient number of trained professionals with the appropriate U.S. GAAP technical expertise to identify, evaluate, and account for complex transactions and review valuation reports prepared by external specialists and (3) management failed to design and implement adequate internal controls over the recording of stock-based compensation expense including a precise review and procedures to ensure the proper accounting for stock based compensation expenses, and the recording of those expenses completely and accurately in the appropriate period.

We are planning on implementing measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting to remediate these material weaknesses, including formalizing our processes and internal control documentation and strengthening supervisory reviews by our financial management; hiring additional qualified accounting and finance personnel and engaging financial consultants to enable the implementation of internal control over financial reporting and segregating duties amongst accounting and finance personnel. In addition, we are planning on implementing an accounting software system with the design and functionality to segregate incompatible accounting duties, which we currently expect will be fully implemented in our 2025 fiscal year.

While we are implementing these measures, we cannot assure you that these efforts will remediate our material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in a timely manner, or at all, or prevent restatements of our financial statements in the future. In particular, our material weakness related to our accounting software was not fully remediated as of December 31, 2024, as we expect to implement new software in 2025. If we are unable to successfully remediate our material weaknesses, or identify any future significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting may be adversely affected, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports, and the market price of our common stock may decline as a result.

Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place so that we can produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming effort that needs to be re-evaluated frequently. We expect to incur additional costs to remediate these control deficiencies, though there can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful or avoid potential future material weaknesses. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. If we are unable to successfully remediate our existing or any future material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, or if we identify any additional material weaknesses, the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting may be adversely affected, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting, and our stock price may decline as a result. We also could become subject to investigations by Nasdaq, the SEC, or other regulatory authorities. Failure to remedy any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, or to implement or maintain other effective control systems required of public companies, could also restrict our future access to the capital markets. In addition, investors’ perceptions that our internal controls are inadequate or that we are unable to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis may harm our stock price and make it more difficult for us to effectively market and sell our products to new and existing customers.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and regulations of the applicable listing standards of Nasdaq. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting, and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly and place significant strain on our personnel, systems and resources. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we will file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the applicable time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed in reports under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and financial officers. We are also continuing to improve our internal control over financial reporting.

In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we have expended, and anticipate that we will continue to expend, significant resources, including accounting-related costs and significant management oversight. Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business. In addition, changes in accounting principles or interpretations could also challenge our internal controls and require that we establish new business processes, systems and controls to accommodate such changes. We have limited experience with implementing the

10


systems and controls necessary to operate as a public company, as well as adopting changes in accounting principles or interpretations mandated by the relevant regulatory bodies. Additionally, if these new systems, controls or standards and the associated process changes do not give rise to the benefits that we expect or do not operate as intended, it could adversely affect our financial reporting systems and processes, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial reports, or the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Moreover, our business may be harmed if we experience problems with any new systems and controls that result in delays in their implementation or increased costs to correct any post-implementation issues that may arise.

We currently have the following weaknesses as disclosed in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, “Controls and Procedures”:

the lack of a sufficient number of trained professional with the expertise to design, implement, and execute a formal risk assessment process and formal accounting policies, procedures, and control over accounting and financial reporting to ensure the timely and accurate recording of financial transactions while maintaining a segregation of duties. This, coupled with management’s accounting software system has certain system limitations that do not allow for an effective control environment and the absence of sufficient other mitigating controls, created segregation of duties deficiencies; and
the lack of a sufficient number of trained professionals with the appropriate U.S. GAAP technical expertise to identify, evaluate, and account for complex transactions and review valuation reports prepared by external specialists; and
The Company failed to design and implement adequate internal controls over the recording of stock-based compensation expense including a precise review and procedures to ensure the proper accounting for stock based compensation expenses, and the recording of those expenses completely and accurately in the appropriate period.

Further, weaknesses in our disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting may be discovered in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement could harm our business or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and may result in a restatement of our financial statements for prior periods. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting also could adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations that we are currently required to include in our periodic reports filed with the SEC and, if applicable, annual independent registered public accounting firm attestation reports that may be required in the future regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that we will eventually be required to include in our periodic reports that will be filed with the SEC. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information, which would likely have a negative effect on the trading price of the Common Stock. In addition, if we are unable to continue to meet these requirements, we may not be able to remain listed on Nasdaq.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Substantial future sales of the Common Stock could cause the market price of the Common Stock to decline.

The market price of the Common Stock could decline as a result of the substantial sales of the Common Stock by the Selling Stockholder.

From June 2024 to December 2024, we issued 648,700 shares of common stock pursuant to an At The Market Offering Agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, dated as of May 17, 2024 with a value of $8.4 million.

As previously disclosed, from November 2024 through December 2024 in the aggregate, the holders of shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A”) converted 919,794 shares of Series A into 262,051 shares of Common Stock (the “Series A Conversion Shares"), certain debt holders converted $2.4 million of the principal amount into a total of 235,161 shares of Common Stock.

11


From February 12, 2025 to March 20, 2025, Vertical Investors LLC converted 2,801,250 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock into 1,723,846 shares of Common Stock.

Risks Related to This Offering

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution.

Since the price per share of the Common Stock being offered is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of the Common Stock, you will suffer substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. The exercise of our outstanding stock options and warrants could result in further dilution of your investment. See the section titled “Dilution” below for a more detailed illustration of the dilution you would incur if you participate in this offering.

Our stockholders may be subject to dilution resulting from future offerings of common stock by us.

We may raise additional funds in the future by issuing common stock or equity-linked securities. Holders of our securities have no preemptive rights in connection with such further issuances. Our board of directors has the discretion to determine if an issuance of our capital stock is warranted, the price at which such issuance is to be effected and the other terms of any future issuance of capital stock. In addition, additional common stock will be issued by us in connection with the exercise of options or grant of other equity awards granted by us. Such additional equity issuances could, depending on the price at which such securities are issued, substantially dilute the interests of the holders of our existing securities.

There are risks, including stock market volatility, inherent in owning the Common Stock.

The market price and volume of the Common Stock have been, and may continue to be, subject to significant fluctuations. These fluctuations may arise from general stock market conditions, the impact of risk factors described herein on our results of operations and financial position, or a change in opinion in the market regarding our business prospects, financial performance and other factors.

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

The Selling Stockholder may sell their shares of Common Stock being registered in this offering in the public market. That means that up to 6,846,970 shares of Common Stock, the number of shares being registered in this offering for sale by the Selling Stockholder, may be sold in the public market. Such sales will likely cause our stock price to decline.

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

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

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholder. All of the net proceeds from the sale of our Common Stock will go to the Selling Stockholder as described below in the sections entitled “Selling Stockholder” and “Plan of Distribution”. We have agreed to bear the expenses relating to the registration of the common stock for the Selling Stockholder. We would, however, receive proceeds if the Class A Incremental Common Warrants issued in March 2025 are exercised, through the payment of the exercise price in cash, in a maximum amount of up to approximately $2,539,420.

12


DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

The Selling Stockholder will offer Common Stock at the prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. The offering price of our Common Stock does not necessarily bear any relationship to our book value, assets, past operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value. Our Common Stock may not trade at the market prices in excess of the offering prices for Common Stock in any public market will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity.

DILUTION

If you invest in this offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution to the extent of the difference between the offering price per share paid in this offering and the adjusted net tangible book value per share of the Common Stock as of December 31, 2024, as adjusted to give effect to this offering.

Our net tangible book value per share of common stock is determined by subtracting our total liabilities from our total tangible assets, which is total assets less intangible assets, and dividing this amount by the number of shares of common stock outstanding. The historical net tangible book value of the Common Stock as of December 31, 2024 was approximately $(12.2) million , or $(8.71) per share, based on 1,402,102 shares of Common Stock outstanding at December 31, 2024.

After giving effect to (i) the issuance of 63,898 shares of the Common Stock from conversions of 100,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; (ii) the issuance of 646 shares of the Common Stock from conversions of 1,060,118 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock; (iii) the issuance of 3,941,578 shares of the Common Stock upon conversion of debt in the aggregate amount of approximately $7.3 million; (iv) the Company’s issuance of 821,500 shares of the Common Stock for approximate proceeds of $1.6 million from the ATM and (v) the issuance of 1,973,846 shares of the Common Stock from conversions of 3,207,500 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, our pro forma net tangible book value as of December 31, 2024 would have been $(6.9) million, or $(0.85) per share of Common Stock.

After giving effect to the sale of 6,846,970 shares of the Common Stock in this offering at an assumed offering price of $1.01 per share and after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us and estimated underwriting discounts and commissions, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31, 2024 would have been approximately $(0.2) million, or $(0.01) per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.84 per share to existing stockholders and immediate dilution of $1.02 per share to investors purchasing securities in this offering at the assumed offering price. The final combined public offering price will be determined between us and the underwriters in the offering and may be at a discount to the current market price. Therefore, the assumed combined public offering price used throughout this prospectus may not be indicative of the final combined public offering price. The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

The above discussion and table do not take into account further dilution to investors purchasing our securities in this offering that could occur upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, or the conversion of convertible securities, having a per share exercise or conversion price less than the public offering price per share in this offering. To the extent that outstanding options or warrants or other shares are issued, investors purchasing our securities in this offering will experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe that we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of the Common Stock, including through the sale of securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders, including investors purchasing our securities in this offering.

The table and discussion above are based on 1,402,102 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2024, but does not include, as of such date:

796 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2024, at a weighted average exercise price of $10,154,03 per share;
70,106 shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance under our 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”) as of December 31, 2024, as well as automatic increases in the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance pursuant to this plan, plus (x) any shares of Common Stock underlying outstanding awards under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) that are subsequently forfeited or terminated before being exercised or becoming vested, not issued because an award is settled in cash, or withheld or reacquired to satisfy the applicable exercise, or purchase price, or a tax withholding obligation, and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock which, but for the termination of the 2020 Plan immediately prior to the effective date of the 2023 Plan, were reserved and available for issuance under the 2020 Plan but not at such time issued or subject to outstanding awards under the 2020 Plan; and
14,137 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), as well as any automatic increases in the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance pursuant to this plan.
61,342 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2024, at a weighted average exercise price of $244.02 per share; and
1,385,412 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the conversion of preferred stock outstanding as of December 31, 2024.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

Director Independence

Our board of directors consists of five (5) members. Our board of directors determined that Ms. Bartok Touw and Mr. Leis qualify as an independent director under applicable SEC and Nasdaq rules. In addition, after the resignation of Mr. Weaver from Apeiron and based on a review of the applicable SEC and Nasdaq rules, our board of directors determined that Mr. Weaver qualifies as an independent director. Specifically, our board of directors undertook a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment, and affiliations, our board of directors determined that each of Ms. Bartok Touw, Mr.

16


Weaver and Mr. Leis does not have relationships that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that Ms. Bartok Touw, Mr. Weaver, and Mr. Leis are “independent” as that term is defined under applicable SEC and Nasdaq rules. In making these determinations, our board of directors considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with our company and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our shares by each non-employee director and the transactions described in “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.” In making this determination with respect to Mr. Weaver, our board of directors also considered the nature of Apeiron’s investment in the Company, the prior advisory services rendered by Apeiron, the nature of Mr. Weaver’s employment position with Apeiron as a portfolio manager and not a director, partner, or executive or senior officer, his direct and indirect ownership of less than 10% in Apeiron, and his resignation from Apeiron.

Board Structure

Our directors are divided into three classes serving staggered three-year terms. Class I, Class II and Class III directors will serve until our annual meetings of stockholders in 2025, 2026, and 2027, respectively. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors will be appointed to succeed the class of directors whose terms have expired. This classification of our board of directors could have the effect of increasing the length of time necessary to change the composition of a majority of our board of directors. In general, at least two annual meetings of stockholders will be necessary for stockholders to effect a change in a majority of the members of our board of directors. Our current directors are divided among the three classes as follows:

the Class I directors are Messrs. Mulchandani and Leis, and their term will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2027;
the Class II director is Mr. Weaver, and his term will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2025; and
the Class III directors are Mr. Ward and Ms. Bartok Touw, and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2026.

Lead Independent Director

Our board of directors adopted corporate governance guidelines that provide that the board of directors shall appoint an independent director to serve as our lead independent director for so long as we have a non-independent Chairperson. Our board of directors appointed Ms. Bartok Touw to serve as our lead independent director. As lead independent director, Ms. Bartok Touw has primary responsibilities to preside over all meetings at which the Chairperson is not present and serve as a liaison between the Chairperson and the independent directors.

Director Compensation

Directors who are also full-time officers or employees of our company receive no additional compensation for serving as directors. All non-employee directors receive compensation in accordance with our non-employee director compensation policy, described below.

No compensation of any kind (whether cash, stock, or options) was paid to our directors, who are not full-time officers or employees, who served during the year ended December 31, 2024. Accordingly, Messrs. Weaver and Leis and Ms. Bartok Touw received no compensation for serving as directors.

17


Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy

We have not historically paid cash retainers or other compensation with respect to service on our board of directors. We have reimbursed and will continue to reimburse all of our non-employee directors for their reasonable expenses incurred in attending meetings of our board of directors and committees of our board of directors.

Although we have adopted a non-employee director compensation policy, this policy was not utilized in 2024. This policy provides for the annual grant of stock options under the Interactive Strength Inc. 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”) following the conclusion of each regular annual meeting of our stockholders, to each non-employee director who will continue serving as a member of our board of directors. The annual option award will be with respect to a number of shares of common stock with an aggregate fair market value as determined under the 2023 Plan equal to $120,000 calculated on the date of grant. This number of shares underlying each such award will be equal to $120,000 divided by the estimated Black-Scholes value of such stock options as of the date of grant, rounded down to the nearest whole share. Each annual option award will be granted with an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value on the date of grant and will become fully vested, subject to continued service as a director, on the earliest of the 12-month anniversary of the date of grant, the next annual meeting of stockholders following the date of grant, or the consummation of a change in control (as defined in the 2023 Plan).

If a non-employee director is elected to our board of directors other than at an annual meeting of our stockholders, such non-employee director will receive an award of stock options upon election to our board of directors that is consistent with the foregoing, provided that such grant will be prorated based on the number of calendar days remaining before (i) the next annual meeting of stockholders, if scheduled, or (ii) the date of the first anniversary of the last annual meeting of stockholders, if the next annual meeting is not yet scheduled.

Each non-employee director who joins the board of directors as a non-employee member will receive a stock option award under the 2023 Plan with an aggregate fair value determined under the 2023 Plan with a grant date fair value as determined under the 2023 Plan equal to $240,000 calculated on the date of grant. The number of shares underlying each such award will be equal to $240,000 divided by the estimated Black-Scholes value of such stock options as of the date of grant, rounded down to the nearest whole share. This option award will be granted with an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value on the date of grant and will vest, subject to continued service as a director, in equal annual installments over three years or, if earlier, the consummation of a change in control (as defined in the 2023 Plan).

The aggregate value of all compensation granted or paid, as applicable, to any non-employee director for service as a non-employee director during any 12-month period, including awards granted and cash fees we pay to such non-employee director, will not exceed $500,000 in total value, and with respect to the 12-month period in which a non-employee director is first appointed or elected to the board of directors, will not exceed $750,000 in total value, in each case calculating the value of any awards based on the grant date fair value of such awards as determined for financial reporting purposes.

Non-Employee Director Share Ownership Policy

Our board of directors adopted a share ownership policy for its non-employee directors to further align the personal interests of such directors with the interests of our stockholders. Under such policy, each non-employee director is expected to acquire, and continue to hold during the term of his or her service on our board of directors, ownership of shares of our common stock having a specified minimum value as determined by our board of directors. Such policy requires non-employee directors to hold a specified minimum percentage of the shares acquired through any of our equity incentive plans (net of the number applied to pay applicable taxes) until the share ownership policy is satisfied. This policy was not implemented in 2024.

Board Committees

Our board of directors established an audit committee, a compensation committee, and a nominating and corporate governance committee. Our board of directors adopted a charter for each of these committees, which complies with the applicable requirements of current Nasdaq rules. We intend to comply with future requirements to the extent they are applicable to us. Copies of the charters for each committee are available on the investor relations page of our website (www.interactivestrength.com). The inclusion of our website address in this prospectus statement is an inactive textual reference only.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee consists of Ms. Bartok Touw, Mr. Weaver, and Mr. Leis. Ms. Bartok Touw is the chairperson of our audit committee. The composition of our audit committee meets the requirements for independence under the current Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules and regulations. Each member of our audit committee can read and understand fundamental financial statements in accordance with Nasdaq audit committee requirements. In arriving at this determination, our board of directors examined each audit committee member’s scope of experience and the nature of their prior and/or current employment. In addition, our board of directors determined that each member of the audit committee is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act. This designation does not impose any duties, obligations or liabilities that are greater than are generally imposed on members of our audit committee and our board of directors. Our audit committee is directly responsible for, among other things:

selecting a firm to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements and determining its compensation;

considering the adequacy of our internal controls and internal audit function;
discussing our major financial risk exposures and the steps we have taken to monitor and control such exposures, including our policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management;
reviewing material related party transactions or those that require disclosure; and
approving or, as permitted, pre-approving all audit and non-audit services to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm.

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee consists of Ms. Bartok Touw and Mr. Weaver. Ms. Bartok Touw is the chairperson of our compensation committee. Each member of this committee is a non-employee director, as defined by Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and meets the requirements for independence under the current Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules and regulations. Our compensation committee is directly responsible for, among other things:

determining and approving, or recommending that our board of directors approve, the compensation of our executive officers;

Ms. Bartok Touw and Mr. Weaver meet the requirements for independence under the current Nasdaq listing standards. Our nominating and corporate governance committee is directly responsible for, among other things:

identifying and recommending candidates for membership on our board of directors;
reviewing and recommending our corporate governance guidelines and policies;
reviewing and making recommendations to our board of directors regarding the type and amount of compensation to be paid or awarded to our non-employee board members;

Code of Ethics

The full text of our codes of business conduct and ethics is posted on the investor relations page of our website (www.interactivestrength.com). The inclusion of our website address in this prospectus is an inactive textual reference only. We intend to disclose future amendments to our codes of business conduct and ethics, or any waivers of such code, on our website or in public filings. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference in this prospectus and does not form a part of this prospectus.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the members of our compensation committee has ever been an executive officer or employee of ours. None of our executive officers currently serve, or has served during the last completed fiscal year, on the compensation committee or board of directors of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our board of directors or compensation committee.

20


Indemnification and Insurance

Our amended and restated certification of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws provide that we shall indemnify our directors and officers against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such director or officer, other than such liability (if any) that he or she may incur by reason of his or her own actual fraud or willful default, in connection with the execution or discharge of his or her duties, powers, authorities or discretions as a director or officer of the Company.

We have also entered into indemnification agreements with our directors, executive officers, and certain other employees under which we have agreed to indemnify each such person and hold them harmless against expenses, judgments, penalties, fines, and amounts payable under settlement agreements in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding to which they have been made a party or in which they became involved by reason of the fact that they are, or were, our director, officer, or employee. Except with respect to expenses to be reimbursed by us in the event that the indemnified person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the action, suit or proceeding, our obligations under the indemnification agreements are subject to certain customary restrictions and exceptions. The indemnification agreements are governed under Delaware law.

In addition, we maintain standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided to our directors and officers against loss rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and to us with respect to payments which may be made by us to such directors and officers pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.

The amounts in this column represent the aggregate grant-date fair value of awards granted to the named executive officer, computed in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718. See Note 16 to the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for a discussion of the assumptions we made in determining the grant-date fair value of our equity awards. Each of the stock option awards granted to Mr. Ward in 2021 was cancelled on August 31, 2022. In connection with the cancellation of these awards, Mr. Ward received two new stock option grants. The first grant, which was fully vested upon grant, was an option to purchase 20 shares of our common stock. The second grant was also an option to purchase 20 shares of our common stock, 10 of which vested on December 1, 2022, 5 of which will vest of December 1, 2023, and the remainder of which will vest ratably over the 12-month period between December 1, 2023 and December 1, 2024. On January 24, 2023, our board of directors approved a common stock repricing whereby previously granted and unexercised options held by certain current employees, including Mr. Ward, with exercise prices above $2,051.40 per share were repriced on a one-for-one-basis to $2,051.40 per share. There was no modification to the other terms, including the vesting schedules, of the

21


previously issued options. We will treat the repricing as a modification of the original awards and calculate additional compensation costs for the difference between the fair value of the modified award and the fair value of the original award on the modification date.

Narrative to Summary Compensation Table

We review compensation annually for all employees, including our executives. In setting executive base salaries and bonuses and granting equity incentive awards, we consider compensation for comparable positions in the market, the historical compensation levels of our executives, individual performance as compared to our expectations and objectives, our desire to motivate our employees to achieve short- and long-term results that are in the best interests of our stockholders, and a long-term commitment to our company. We do not target a specific competitive position or a specific mix of compensation among base salary, bonus or equity incentives.

In evaluating the roles, responsibilities, authority, titles, and functions of our management team, our board of directors has determined that Trent A. Ward, our co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, was one of our executive officers in 2023 and 2024. We based this determination on an analysis of several factors, including those articulated in the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. Specifically, since our inception in 2017, Mr. Ward has held, and is expected to continue to hold for the foreseeable future, primary and ultimate responsibility, authority, and operational decision-making functions over the principal operations, business units, and functions of the Company, including all significant policymaking authority. In addition, we believe this determination is appropriate in light of the current size and scope of our business and operations and the relatively early growth stage of the Company. For 2023 and 2024, Michael J. Madigan, our Chief Financial Officer and principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, was also deemed to be an executive officer. We intend to continue to evaluate the roles and responsibilities of our management team as our business and operations evolve, and to reassess the designation and composition of our executive officers as appropriate and in consideration of applicable rules and regulations.

Base Salaries

In 2023 and 2024, base salaries were set at a level that was commensurate with Mr. Ward’s and Mr. Madigan’s respective duties and authorities, contributions, prior experience, and sustained performance.

Executive Annual Incentive Plan

We have adopted the Executive Annual Incentive Plan (the “Annual Incentive Plan”). The Annual Incentive Plan is administered by the compensation committee. Only key employees designated by the compensation committee as participants are eligible to participate in the Annual Incentive Plan. The Annual Incentive Plan was not utilized in 2024.

During the first quarter of each fiscal year, the compensation committee will establish an individual target award opportunity for employees who participate in the Annual Incentive Plan (including any threshold or maximum award opportunities), the performance goals, the target performance goals (including any threshold or maximum), and the percentage weighting of each performance goal and/or formulas which will be utilized to measure the performance of the participants during the fiscal year.

The amount available to allocate for payment of bonuses under the Annual Incentive Plan in respect of a given fiscal year of the Company (the “Bonus Pool”) will be determined by the compensation committee. During the first quarter of a fiscal year, the compensation committee will establish target funding levels (including any threshold or maximum) for the Bonus Pool. No later than 30 days after the end of each fiscal year, the compensation committee will determine the actual achievement of the performance goals and the overall percentage of achievement based on the achievement of the various performance goals and certify the final Bonus Pool for the year based on the pre-established funding levels and the level of achievement relative to the pre-established performance goals after taking into account any adjustment of the individual target award opportunity (including any threshold or maximum award opportunities), the performance metrics, formulas and the targeted achievement levels (including any threshold or maximum achievement levels) relating to such performance goals and the formulas used in determining the Bonus Pool as deemed necessary

22


or appropriate by the compensation committee in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting us or our consolidated financial statements or changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles.

Individual bonus payouts are determined by applying the participant’s individual target award opportunity by the overall percentage of achievement of the performance goals, provided that the calculated payment may not exceed the maximum award opportunity (to the extent applicable) and no bonus payment will be made if the amount calculated falls below any applicable threshold. Bonuses are not guaranteed and are awarded and payable at our compensation committee’s discretion. Bonuses will be payable in cash or shares of our common stock issued under the 2023 Plan, in either case less applicable deductions and tax withholdings. An employee must be employed on the date of payment to earn any bonus under the Annual Incentive Plan.

Either our board of directors or the compensation committee may amend, suspend or terminate the Annual Incentive Plan in writing at any time, for any and no reason.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, any bonus payments under the Annual Incentive Plan will be subject to any clawback or recoupment policies we have in place from time to time.

Equity Incentive Awards

Our equity incentive awards are designed to align our interests with those of our employees, including Mr. Ward and Mr. Madigan.

We have historically granted stock options to our employees, including Mr. Ward and Mr. Madigan, under the 2020 Plan.

Options are granted at a price not less than the fair market value on the date of grant and generally become exercisable within four years after the date of grant, subject to continued service with us. Options generally expire ten years from the date of grant. The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, which qualify for favorable tax treatment to recipients under Section 422 of the Code and non-qualified stock options. Such awards may be granted to our employees, directors and consultants.

Following the completion of our initial public offering in 2023, equity awards were granted to our employees, including Mr. Ward and Mr. Madigan, under the Interactive Strength Inc. 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (as described below). No awards were granted in 2024.

Health and Welfare Benefits and Perquisites

Mr. Ward and Mr. Madigan are eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans, including our medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance plans, on the same basis as all of our other employees. Except for the provision of life insurance policies to certain executives, including Mr. Ward and Mr. Madigan, we do not maintain any executive-specific benefit or perquisite programs.

Retirement Benefits

We sponsor a tax-qualified Section 401(k) plan for our United States employees, including Mr. Ward and Mr. Madigan. Participants may make pre-tax and certain after-tax (Roth) salary deferral contributions to the plan from their eligible earnings up to the statutorily prescribed annual limit under the Code. An employee’s interest in his or her salary deferral contributions is 100% vested when contributed.

We do not provide employees, including Mr. Ward and Mr. Madigan, any other retirement benefits, including but not limited to tax-qualified defined benefit plans, supplemental executive retirement plans or nonqualified defined contribution plans.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

Executive Severance Plan

In October 2022, we adopted an Executive Severance Plan (the “Executive Severance Plan”) applicable to our Chief Executive Officer and certain other key employees that became effective upon the completion of our initial public offering. Under the Executive Severance Plan, if a participant’s employment is terminated (i) by the participant with “good reason” (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan), (ii) by us without “cause” (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan) or (iii) due to the named executive officer’s death or the named executive officer becoming “disabled” (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan”), and provided the named executive officer (or his or her estate or

25


representative, as applicable) signs and does not revoke our standard release of claims and complies with all applicable restrictive covenants and contractual obligations, the participant will be entitled to receive:

salary continuation payments for 18 months (for our Chief Executive Officer) or 12 months (for participants other than our Chief Executive Officer) (such period, the “Severance Period”) following the participant’s termination of employment; and
subsidized continued health insurance coverage under the Consolidated Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), for the participant and his or her eligible dependents during the Severance Period.

If any participant’s employment is terminated (i)(A) by the participant with good reason, (B) by us without cause or (C) due to the participant’s death or the participant becoming disabled, and (ii) such termination occurs within 12 months after a “change in control” (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan), and provided the participant (or his or her estate or representative, as applicable) signs and does not revoke our standard release of claims and complies with all applicable restrictive covenants and contractual obligations, the participant will be entitled to receive:

continued payments of an amount equal to the sum of (A) the participant’s then current base salary plus (B) the participant’s then current target annual bonus, in equal installments during the Severance Period;
full vesting acceleration with respect to all outstanding equity compensation awards, with post-termination exercisability as specified in the applicable equity award agreement; and
subsidized continued health insurance coverage under COBRA for the participant and his or her eligible dependents during the Severance Period.

In addition, in the event any of the payments or benefits provided for under the Executive Severance Plan or otherwise payable to a participant would constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and could be subject to the related excise tax, the participant would be entitled to receive either full payment of such payments and benefits or such lesser amount which would result in no portion of the payments and benefits being subject to the excise tax, whichever results in the greater amount of after-tax benefits to the participant.

The Executive Severance Plan supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings, written or oral, relating to the participants’ entitlement to receive severance pay or benefits from the Company (including, without limitation, the participants’ offer letters). Accordingly, none of the participants is eligible to receive severance payments or benefits under any other plan or agreement with us.

Current and Potential Equity Grants

We granted options to purchase shares of our common stock under the 2023 Plan to certain of our executive officers and other employees and to non-employee directors. Such option grants were approved and granted immediately prior to the completion of our initial public offering. The grant of options was, and any future grant of RSUs that may be made to directors and executive officers would be, subject to approval by the compensation committee or, in the case of director equity grants, issued pursuant to our non-employee director compensation policy approved by the compensation committee and our board of directors. However, we have not made any final determinations as to any future RSU awards or the timing thereof, and there can be no assurance that we will grant any RSU awards in the future, if at all, or as to the number of shares which may be subject to any such future equity awards.

Equity Incentive Plans

2020 Equity Incentive Plan

The following is a description of the material terms of our 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The summary below does not contain a complete description of all provisions of the 2020 Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2020 Plan, a copy of which is included as an exhibit to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed with the SEC on January 11, 2024.

General. The 2020 Plan was adopted by our board of directors on December 15, 2020 and subsequently approved by our stockholders.

As of December 31, 2022, options to purchase a total of 112 shares of our common stock were outstanding under the 2020 Plan. The weighted-average exercise price of the options outstanding under the 2020 Plan is $9,200.00 per share.

Following the completion of our initial public offering, no additional awards and no additional shares of our common stock will remain available for future issuance under the 2020 Plan. However, the 2020 Plan will continue to govern the terms and conditions of the outstanding awards previously granted thereunder. Shares originally reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan, but which are not subject to outstanding options on the effective date of the 2023 Plan (as defined below), and shares subject to outstanding options under the 2020 Plan on the effective date of the 2023 Plan that are subsequently forfeited or terminated for any reason before being exercised or becoming vested, not issued because an option is settled in cash, or withheld or reacquired to satisfy the applicable exercise, or a tax withholding obligation will again become available for issuance under our 2023 Plan.

The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, or ISOs, to employees and the grant of nonstatutory stock options, NSOs, to employees, non-employee directors, advisors, and consultants. The 2020 Plan also provides for the grant of restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, and stock appreciation rights to employees, non-employee directors, advisors and consultants. While we have granted ISOs and NSOs, we have not granted any restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, or stock appreciation rights.

Administration. The 2020 Plan has been administered by our board of directors, and may be amended, suspended, or terminated by our board of directors. To the extent required by applicable law or deemed necessary or advisable by our board of directors, any amendment to the 2020 Plan is subject to stockholder approval.

Authorized Shares. We previously reserved 620 shares of our common stock for issuance under the 2020 Plan. In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, subdivision, combination, reclassification of the shares, or other change in our capital structure affecting shares without consideration, the administrator of the 2020 Plan will proportionately adjust (i) the number and class of shares (or other securities) that thereafter may be made the subject of awards, (ii) the number, and class of shares (or other securities or property) subject to any outstanding awards, and/or (iii) the purchase or exercise price of any outstanding awards, in each case to the extent necessary to prevent diminution or enlargement of the level of incentives intended by the 2020 Plan and the then-outstanding awards.

Stock Options. The administrator of the 2020 Plan determines the exercise price for each stock option, provided that the exercise price of an option must equal at least 100% of the fair market value of our common stock subject to the option on the date of grant and the term of an option may not exceed ten years, provided further, that no ISO may be granted to any stockholder holding more than 10% of our voting shares unless the option exercise price is at least 110% of the fair market value of the common stock subject to the option on the date of grant, and the term of the ISO does not exceed five years from the date of grant. No option may be transferred by the option holder other than by will, or by the laws of descent or distribution and, in case of NSOs, to a trust or by gift to a “family member” as that term is defined in Rule 701 of the Securities Act. Each option may be exercised during the option holder’s lifetime solely by the option holder or his or her legal representative. Options granted under the 2020 Plan are early exercisable and generally vest over a 48-month period, with 25% vesting on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and the remaining portion vesting in 36 equal monthly installments thereafter. Unless otherwise provided in an applicable award agreement, upon the termination of an option holder’s service as an employee, non-employee director, or consultant due to death or disability (or death within three months after a termination other than for cause) or for any reason other than for cause, such option holder may exercise his or her vested options no later than seven

27


years after the date service terminates. If the option holder’s service is terminated for cause, the shares that are vested under the option will be exercisable only on the option holder’s termination date unless otherwise determined by the administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no option may be exercised after the expiration of its term.

Corporate Transactions. The 2020 Plan provides that, in the event of a merger, consolidation, sale of more than 50% of our voting stock to a third party, or sale of all substantially all of our assets (each, a “Change in Control Event”), the outstanding options will be subject to the agreement evidencing the Change in Control Event which may provide for continuation, assumption, substitution, acceleration, settlement in cash, cash equivalents, or securities of the successor entity, or termination without any consideration of such outstanding options.

2023 Stock Incentive Plan

On January 24, 2023, our board of directors approved and adopted, subject to stockholder approval, the Interactive Strength Inc. 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”), and our stockholders approved the 2023 Plan on January 26, 2023. The 2023 Plan became effective upon the completion of our initial public offering. Once the 2023 Plan became effective, no further grants were made under our 2020 Plan. This summary is not a complete description of all provisions of the 2023 Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2023 Plan, which is filed as an exhibit to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed with the SEC on January 11, 2024.

Stock Awards. The 2023 Plan provides for incentive stock options, or ISOs, non-qualified stock options, or NSOs, restricted share awards, stock unit awards, stock appreciation rights, other stock-based awards, performance-based stock awards, (collectively, “stock awards”) and cash-based awards (stock awards and cash-based awards are collectively referred to as “awards”). ISOs may be granted only to our employees, including officers, and the employees of our parent or subsidiaries. All other awards may be granted to our employees, officers, our non-employee directors, and consultants and the employees and consultants of our subsidiaries and affiliates.

Share Reserve. The aggregate number of shares of our common stock that may be issued pursuant to stock awards under the 2023 Plan will be 401 shares (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, and the like), plus (x) any shares underlying outstanding awards under the 2020 Plan that are subsequently forfeited or terminated for any reason before being exercised or becoming vested, not issued because an award is settled in cash, or withheld or reacquired to satisfy the applicable exercise, or purchase price, or a tax withholding obligation, plus (y) the number of shares which, but for the termination of the 2020 Plan immediately prior to the completion of our initial public offering, were reserved under the 2020 Plan but not at such time issued or subject to outstanding awards under the 2020 Plan, plus (z) an annual increase on the first day of each calendar year, for a period of not more than ten years, beginning on January 1, 2024 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2032, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of our outstanding shares on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar year or (ii) such lesser amount (including zero) that the compensation committee (as defined below) determines for purposes of the annual increase for that calendar year.

If restricted shares or shares issued upon the exercise of options are forfeited, then such shares will again become available for awards under the 2023 Plan. If stock units, options, or stock appreciation rights are forfeited or terminate for any reason before being exercised or settled, or an award is settled in cash without the delivery of shares to the holder, then the corresponding shares will again become available for awards under the 2023 Plan. Any shares withheld to satisfy the exercise price or tax withholding obligation pursuant to any award of options or stock appreciation rights will again become available for awards under the 2023 Plan. If stock units or stock appreciation rights are settled, then only the number of shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of such stock units or stock appreciation rights will reduce the number of shares available under the 2023 Plan, and the balance (including any shares withheld to cover taxes) will again become available for awards under the 2023 Plan.

Shares issued under the 2023 Plan are, and will be, authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, or previously issued shares. As of December 31, 2023, we have granted awards and issued 431 shares of common stock, in each case under the 2023 Plan.

28


Incentive Stock Option Limit. The maximum number of shares that may be issued upon the exercise of ISOs under the 2023 Plan is equal to five (5) times the number of shares specified in subpart (w) of the 2023 Plan’s share reserve formula as described above under the heading “Share Reserve”, plus, to the extent allowable under Section 422 of the Code, any shares of common stock that become available for issuance under the 2023 Plan on account of (i) an award being forfeited before all underlying shares have been issued or settled, or (ii) a portion of the shares underlying an award being withheld to satisfy the exercise price or tax withholding of such award.

Grants to Outside Directors. The sum of (i) the grant date fair value for financial reporting purposes of any awards granted during any calendar year under the 2023 Plan to an outside director as compensation for services as an outside director and (ii) any cash fees paid by us to such outside director during such calendar year for service on our board of directors, may not exceed five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000), or, in the calendar year in which the outside director is first appointed or elect to our board of directors, seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($750,000).

Administration. The 2023 Plan is administered by the compensation committee appointed by our board of directors, or the compensation committee, or by the board of directors acting as the compensation committee. Subject to the limitations set forth in the 2023 Plan, the compensation committee has the authority to determine, among other things, to whom awards will be granted, the number of shares subject to awards, the term during which an option or stock appreciation right may be exercised and the rate at which the awards may vest or be earned, including any performance criteria to which they may be subject. The compensation committee also has the authority to determine the consideration and methodology of payment for awards. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the board of directors or compensation committee may also authorize one or more of our officers to designate employees, other than officers under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, to receive awards and/or to determine the number of such awards to be received by such persons subject to a maximum total number of awards.

Repricing; Cancellation and Re-Grant of Stock Awards. The compensation committee has the authority to modify outstanding awards under the 2023 Plan. Subject to the terms of the 2023 Plan, the compensation committee has the authority to cancel any outstanding stock award in exchange for new stock awards, including awards having the same or a different exercise price cash, or other consideration, without stockholder approval but with the consent of any adversely affected participant.

Stock Options. A stock option is the right to purchase a certain number of shares of stock, at a certain exercise price, in the future. Under the 2023 Plan, ISOs and NSOs are granted pursuant to stock option agreements adopted by the compensation committee. The compensation committee determines the exercise price for a stock option, within the terms and conditions of the 2023 Plan, provided that the exercise price of a stock option generally cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Options granted under the 2023 Plan vest at the rate specified by the compensation committee.

Stock options granted under the 2023 Plan generally must be exercised by the optionee before the earlier of the expiration of such option or the expiration of a specified period following the optionee’s termination of employment.

The compensation committee determines the term of the stock options up to a maximum of ten years. Each stock option agreement will also set forth the extent to which the option recipient will have the right to exercise the option following the termination of the recipient’s service with us, and the right to exercise the option of any executors or administrators of the award recipient’s estate or any person who has acquired such options directly from the award recipient by bequest or inheritance.

Payment of the exercise price may be made in cash or, if provided for in the stock option agreement evidencing the award, (1) by surrendering, or attesting to the ownership of, shares which have already been owned by the optionee, (2) future services or services rendered to the company or its affiliates prior to the award, (3) by delivery of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker to sell shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to us in payment of the aggregate exercise price, (4) by delivery of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker or lender to pledge shares and to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to us in payment of the aggregate exercise price, (5) by a “net exercise” arrangement, (6) by delivering a full-recourse promissory note, or (7) by any other form that is consistent with applicable laws, regulations, and rules.

29


Tax Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. The aggregate fair market value, determined at the time of grant, of our common stock with respect to ISOs that are exercisable for the first time by an option holder during any calendar year under all of our stock plans may not exceed $100,000. Options or portions thereof that exceed such limit will generally be treated as NSOs. No ISO may be granted to any person who, at the time of the grant, owns or is deemed to own stock possessing more than 10% of our total combined voting power or that of any of our affiliates unless (1) the option exercise price is at least one 110% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the option on the date of grant, and (2) the term of the ISO does not exceed five years from the date of grant.

Restricted Share Awards. The terms of any awards of restricted shares under the 2023 Plan will be set forth in a restricted share agreement to be entered into between us and the recipient. The compensation committee will determine the terms and conditions of such restricted share agreements, which need not be identical. A restricted share award may be subject to vesting requirements or transfer restrictions or both. Restricted shares may be issued for such consideration as the compensation committee may determine, including cash, cash equivalents, full recourse promissory notes, past services and future services. Award recipients who are granted restricted shares generally have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to those shares, provided that dividends and other distributions will not be paid in respect of unvested shares unless otherwise determined by the compensation committee and, in such case, only once such unvested shares vest.

Stock Unit Awards. Stock unit awards give recipients the right to acquire a specified number of shares of stock (or cash amount) at a future date upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including any vesting arrangement, established by the compensation committee and as set forth in a stock unit award agreement. A stock unit award may be settled by cash, delivery of stock, a combination of cash and stock as deemed appropriate by the compensation committee. Recipients of stock unit awards generally will have no voting or dividend rights prior to the time the vesting conditions are satisfied and the award is settled. At the compensation committee’s discretion and as set forth in the stock unit award agreement, stock units may provide for the right to dividend equivalents. Dividend equivalents may not be distributed prior to settlement of the stock unit to which the dividend equivalents pertain and the value of any dividend equivalents payable or distributable with respect to any unvested stock units that do not vest will be forfeited.

Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock appreciation rights generally provide for payments to the recipient based upon increases in the price of our common stock over the exercise price of the stock appreciation right. The compensation committee determines the exercise price for a stock appreciation right, which generally cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. A stock appreciation right granted under the 2023 Plan vests at the rate specified in the stock appreciation right agreement as determined by the compensation committee. The compensation committee determines the term of stock appreciation rights granted under the 2023 Plan, up to a maximum of ten years. Upon the exercise of a stock appreciation right, we will pay the participant an amount in stock, cash, or a combination of stock and cash as determined by the compensation committee, equal to the product of (1) the excess of the per share fair market value of our common stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price, multiplied by (2) the number of shares of common stock with respect to which the stock appreciation right is exercised.

Other Stock Awards. The compensation committee may grant other awards based in whole or in part by reference to our common stock. The compensation committee will set the number of shares under the stock award and all other terms and conditions of such awards.

Cash-Based Awards. A cash-based award is denominated in cash. The compensation committee may grant cash-based awards in such number and upon such terms as it will determine. Payment, if any, will be made in accordance with the terms of the award, and may be made in cash or in shares of common stock, as determined by the compensation committee.

Performance-Based Awards. The number of shares or other benefits granted, issued, retainable and/or vested under a stock or stock unit award may be made subject to the attainment of performance goals. The compensation committee may utilize any performance criteria selected by it in its sole discretion to establish performance goals.

Changes to Capital Structure. In the event of a recapitalization, stock split, or similar capital transaction, the compensation committee will make appropriate and equitable adjustments to the number of shares reserved for

30


issuance under the 2023 Plan, the number of shares that can be issued as incentive stock options, the number of shares subject to outstanding awards and the exercise price under each outstanding option or stock appreciation right.

Transactions. If we are involved in a merger or other reorganization, outstanding awards will be subject to the agreement or merger or reorganization. Subject to compliance with applicable tax laws, such agreement may provide, without limitation, for (1) the continuation of the outstanding awards by us, if we are a surviving corporation, (2) the assumption or substitution of the outstanding awards by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary, (3) the immediate vesting, exercisability, and settlement of the outstanding awards followed by their cancellation, (4) cancellation of the award, to the extent not vested or not exercised prior to the effective time of the merger or reorganization, in exchange for such cash or equity consideration (including no consideration) as the compensation committee, in its sole discretion, may consider appropriate, or (5) the settlement of the intrinsic value of the outstanding awards (whether or not vested or exercisable) in cash, cash equivalents, or equity (including cash or equity subject to deferred vesting and delivery consistent with the vesting restrictions applicable to such award or the underlying shares) followed by cancellation of such awards, provided that any such amount may be delayed to the same extent that payment of consideration to the holders of shares in connection with the merger or reorganization is delayed as a result of escrows, earnouts, holdbacks or other contingencies.

Change of Control. The compensation committee may provide, in an individual award agreement or in any other written agreement between a participant and us, that the stock award will be subject to acceleration of vesting and exercisability in the event of a change of control.

Transferability. Unless the compensation committee provides otherwise, no award granted under the 2023 Plan may be transferred in any manner (prior to the vesting and lapse of any and all restrictions applicable to shares issued under such award), except by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a domestic relations order, provided that all ISOs may only be transferred or assigned only to the extent consistent with Section 422 of the Code.

Amendment and Termination. Our board of directors has the authority to amend, suspend, or terminate the 2023 Plan, provided that such action does not materially impair the existing rights of any participant without such participant’s written consent.

No ISOs may be granted more than ten years after years after the later of (i) the approval of the 2023 Plan by the board of directors (or if earlier, the stockholders) and (ii) the approval by the board of directors (or if earlier, the stockholders) of any amendment to the 2023 Plan that constitutes the adoption of a new plan for purposes of Section 422 of the Code.

Recoupment. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the compensation committee will have the authority to require that, in the event that we are required to prepare restated financial results owing to an executive officer’s intentional misconduct or grossly negligent conduct, such executive officer will reimburse or forfeit to us the amount of any bonus or incentive compensation (whether cash-based or equity-based) such executive officer received during a fixed period, as determined by the compensation committee, preceding the year the restatement is determined to be required.

That executive officer will forfeit or reimburse to us any bonus or incentive compensation to the extent that such bonus or incentive compensation exceeds what the officer would have received in that period based on an applicable restated performance measure or target. We will recoup incentive-based compensation from executive officers to the extent required under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules, regulations and listing standards that may be issued under that act.

2023 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On January 24, 2023, our board of directors approved and adopted, subject to stockholder approval, the Interactive Strength Inc. 2023 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), and our stockholders approved the ESPP on January 26, 2023. The ESPP became effective upon the completion of our initial public offering. This summary is not a complete description of all provisions of the ESPP and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the ESPP, which is filed as an exhibit to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed with the SEC on January 11, 2024.

General. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Code Section 423, except as explained below under the heading “International Participation.” During regularly scheduled “offerings” under the ESPP, participants will be able to request payroll deductions and then expend the accumulated deduction to purchase a number of shares of our common stock at a discount and in an amount determined in accordance with the ESPP’s terms.

Shares Available for Issuance. The ESPP has 81 authorized but unissued shares of our common stock (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, and the like) reserved for issuance upon becoming effective, plus an additional number of shares of our common stock to be reserved annually on the first day of each calendar year for a period of not more than ten years, beginning on January 1, 2024, in an amount equal to the least of (i) 1% of the outstanding shares of our common stock on such date, (ii) 9 shares (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, and the like), or (iii) a lesser amount (including zero) that the compensation committee determines for purposes of the annual increase for that calendar year.

Administration. The ESPP is administered by the compensation committee, or by our board of directors acting as the compensation committee. The compensation committee has the authority to construe, interpret and apply the terms of the ESPP, to determine eligibility, to establish such limitations and procedures as it determines are consistent with the ESPP and to adjudicate any disputed claims under the ESPP.

Eligibility. Each full-time and part-time employee, including officers, employee directors, and employees of participating subsidiaries, who is employed by us on the day preceding the start of any offering period will be eligible to participate in the ESPP. The ESPP requires that an employee customarily work more than twenty (20) hours per week and more than five months per calendar year in order to be eligible to participate in the ESPP. The ESPP permits an eligible employee to purchase our common stock through payroll deductions, which may not be less than 1% nor more than 15% of the employee’s compensation, or such lower limit as may be determined by the compensation committee from time to time. However, no employee is eligible to participate in the ESPP if, immediately after electing to participate, the employee would own stock (including stock such employee may purchase under this plan or other outstanding options) representing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of our common stock. Unless provided otherwise by the compensation committee prior to the commencement of an offering, in no event will a participant be eligible to purchase during any offering period that number of whole shares of our common stock determined by dividing $25,000 by the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the first date of such offering period (subject to any adjustment pursuant to the terms of the ESPP). In addition, under applicable tax rules, no employee is permitted to accrue, under the ESPP and all of our or our subsidiaries’ similar purchase plans, a right to purchase stock having a fair market value in excess of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) (determined at the time the right is granted) for each calendar year. Employees will be able to withdraw their accumulated payroll deductions prior to the end of the offering period in accordance with the terms of the offering. Participation in the ESPP will end automatically on termination of employment.

Offering Periods and Purchase Price. The ESPP is implemented through a series of offerings of purchase rights to eligible employees. Under the ESPP, the compensation committee may specify offerings with a duration of not more than 27 months and may specify shorter purchase periods within each offering. During each purchase period, payroll deductions will accumulate, without interest. On the last day of the purchase period, accumulated payroll deductions will be used to purchase our common stock for employees participating in the offering.

The purchase price will be specified pursuant to the offering, but cannot, under the terms of the ESPP, be less than 85% of the fair market value per share of our common stock on either the offering date or on the purchase date, whichever is less. The fair market value of our common stock for this purpose will generally be the closing price on

32


the Nasdaq Stock Market (or such other exchange as our common stock may be traded at the relevant time) for the date in question, or if such date is not a trading day, for the last trading day before the date in question.

Reset Feature. The compensation committee may specify that, if the fair market value of a share of our common stock on any purchase date within a particular offering period is less than or equal to the fair market value on the start date of that offering period, then the offering period will automatically terminate and the employee in that offering period will automatically be transferred and enrolled in a new offering period which will begin on the next day following such purchase date.

Changes to Capital Structure. In the event that there is a specified type of change in our capital structure, such as a stock split, appropriate adjustments will be made to (1) the number of shares reserved under the ESPP, (2) the individual and aggregate participant share limitations described in the plan and (3) the price of shares that any participant has elected to purchase.

International Participation. To provide us with greater flexibility in structuring our equity compensation programs for our non-U.S. employees, the ESPP also permits us to grant employees of our non-U.S. subsidiary entities rights to purchase shares of our common stock pursuant to other offering rules or sub-plans adopted by the compensation committee in order to achieve tax, securities law or other compliance objectives. While the ESPP is intended to be a qualified “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Code Section 423, any such international sub-plans or offerings are not required to satisfy those U.S. tax code requirements and therefore may have terms that differ from the ESPP terms applicable in the U.S. However, the international sub-plans or offerings are subject to the ESPP terms limiting the overall shares available for issuance, the maximum payroll deduction rate, maximum purchase price discount and maximum offering period length.

Corporate Reorganization. Immediately before a corporate reorganization, the offering period and purchase period then in progress will terminate and either our common stock will be purchased with the accumulated payroll deductions or the accumulated payroll deductions will be refunded without occurrence of any common stock purchase, unless the surviving corporation (or its parent corporation) assumes the ESPP under the plan of merger or consolidation.

Amendment and Termination. Our board of directors and the compensation committee each have the right to amend, suspend or terminate the ESPP at any time. Any increase in the aggregate number of shares of stock to be issued under the ESPP is subject to stockholder approval. Any other amendment is subject to stockholder approval only to the extent required under applicable law or regulation, including Section 423 of the Code.

33


We describe below transactions and series of similar transactions, since January 1, 2023 to which we were a party or will be a party, in which:

the amounts involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years; and
any of our directors, executive officers or beneficial holders of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Other than as described below, there have not been, nor are there any currently proposed, transactions or series of similar transactions meeting these criteria to which we have been or will be a party other than compensation arrangements, which are described where required under “Management - Director Compensation” and “Executive Compensation.”

Offer Letter

We have entered into an offer letter with our Chief Executive Officer, Trent A. Ward. Mr. Ward is also a director and a 5% or greater stockholder. See “Executive Compensation - Narrative to Summary Compensation Table - Offer Letter with Our Named Executive Officer.”

34


Indemnification Agreements

We have also entered into customary indemnification agreements with our directors, executive officers, and certain other employees under which we have agreed to indemnify each such person and hold them harmless against expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts payable under settlement agreements in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding to which they have been made a party or in which they became involved by reason of the fact that they are, or were, our director or officer or employee. Except with respect to expenses to be reimbursed by us in the event that the indemnified person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the action, suit or proceeding, our obligations under the indemnification agreements are subject to certain customary restrictions and exceptions. The indemnification agreements are governed under Delaware law.

Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions

Our board of directors approved a policy, effective immediately prior to the completion of our initial public offering, that our executive officers, directors, nominees for election as a director, beneficial owners of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities (including our common stock), including any of their immediate family members and affiliates, including entities owned or controlled by such persons (collectively, “related persons”) are not permitted to enter into a related person transaction with us without the prior consent of our audit committee. Transactions involving compensation for services provided to us as an employee, consultant, or director are not considered related person transactions under this policy. Any request for us to enter into a transaction with any related person in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years (to extent we are deemed a smaller reporting company), and such person would have a direct or indirect interest must first be presented to our audit committee for review, consideration and approval. To identify related person transactions in advance, we rely on information supplied by our executive officers, directors, and certain significant stockholders. In considering related person transactions, our audit committee takes into account the relevant available facts and circumstances, which may include, but are not limited to:

the risks, costs, and benefits to us;
the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction;
the impact on a director’s independence in the event the related person is a director, immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated;
the terms of the transaction;
the availability of other sources for comparable services or products; and
the terms available whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances.

We did not have a formal review and approval policy for related party transactions at the time of any of the transactions described above. However, all of the transactions described above were entered into after presentation, consideration and approval by our board of directors.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock, as of April 11, 2025 by:

each person or group of affiliated persons known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our common stock;
each of our named executive officers;
each of our directors; and
all of our executive officers and directors as a group.

The number of shares beneficially owned by each stockholder is determined under rules issued by the SEC. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial” owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. Except as indicated in the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the individuals and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock beneficially owned by them, subject to any applicable community property laws.

Percentage ownership of our common stock is based on 8,203,570 shares of Common Stock outstanding on April 11, 2025. Unless noted otherwise, the address of all listed stockholders is 1005 Congress Avenue, Suite 925, Austin, Texas 78701. Our executive officers and directors, collectively, own less than one tenth of one percent (0.1%) of our shares outstanding.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

Common Stock

The Company’s authorized common stock consisted of 900,000,000 shares at $0.0001 par value.. As of April 11, 2025, the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock was 8,203,570.

Preferred Stock

In January 2024, our board authorized the proposed issuance of shares of non-voting Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock. The Company's authorized preferred stock consists of 200,000,000 shares at $0.0001 par value as of December 31, 2024. The Series A Certificate designated 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock. The Series B Certificate designated 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock as Series B Preferred Stock. In September 2024, our board authorized the proposed issuance of shares of non-voting Series C convertible preferred stock. The Series C Certificate designated 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock as Series C Preferred Stock. The remaining unissued shares of our authorized preferred stock are undesignated. On April 18, 2024, the Series A Certificate was amended increasing designated shares from 5,000,000 to 7,000,000. On June 28, 2024 the Series A Certificate was amended increasing designated shares from 7,000,000 to 10,000,000.

The Series A convertible preferred stock is subject to certain rights, preferences, privileges, and obligations, including voluntary and mandatory conversion provisions, as well as beneficial ownership restrictions and share issuance caps, as described below and as set forth in the Series A Certificate. The Series A convertible preferred stock can be issued at any time and any subsequent mandatory or voluntary conversion into common stock shall be at a conversion price at least equal to or above the closing price per share of the Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq on the last trading day immediately preceding the date that the Series A Certificate was approved by our board of directors, subject to customary adjustments for stock splits and combinations.

The Series A convertible preferred stock includes the following:

Subject to certain restrictions specified in the Series A Certificate, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including without limitation, the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market, (i) each share of Series A convertible preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time, provided that such conversion occurs at least 12 months following the Original Issuance Date (as defined in the Series A Certificate), into such whole number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing the Original Issue Price (as defined in the Series A Certificate) by the Conversion Price (as defined in the Series A Certificate) in effect at the time of conversion, and (ii) upon the earliest Mandatory Conversion Time (as defined in the Series A Certificate) all outstanding shares of Series A convertible preferred stock shall automatically be converted into shares of common stock;
In no event shall any share of Series A convertible preferred stock convert into shares of common stock if the total number of shares of common stock issued would exceed 19.99% of the total number of our shares of common stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the adoption of the Series A Certificate;
Dividends accrue on each share of Series A convertible preferred stock at the rate per annum of 8% of the Original Issue Price of such share, plus the amount of previously accrued dividends, compounded annually, subject to certain restrictions and provisions as set forth in the Series A Certificate; and
The Series A convertible preferred stock does not have any voting rights, other than any vote required by law or our certificate of incorporation (which does not currently provide for any such voting rights).

38


Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations of Series A Preferred Stock, on September 30, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of the record date for such dividend, as a dividend in kind, in the form of 269,334 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Company issued 59,668 Dividend Shares on September 30, 2024 and 209,666 Dividend Shares on October 1, 2024.

There are no circumstances outside the Company's control other than final liquidation that would require the Company to settle the Series A Preferred Stock in cash therefore the Company classified the Series A Preferred Stock as permanent equity as of December 31, 2024.

On January 23, 2025, we issued 112,334 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the aggregate as a dividend on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

As of April 11, 2025, the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock was 4,671,071.

The Series B convertible preferred stock includes the following:

Subject to certain restrictions specified in the Series B Certificate, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including without limitation, the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market, (i) each share of Series B convertible preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time, into such whole number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing the Original Issue Price (as defined in the Series B Certificate) by the Conversion Price (as defined in the Series B Certificate) in effect at the time of conversion.
In the event that stockholder approval is not obtained, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock may voluntarily convert the Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock, provided that in no event shall the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon such voluntary conversion exceed 19.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement.
The Series B Preferred Stock does not have any voting rights, other than any vote required by law or the Company’s certificate of incorporation (which does not currently provide for any such voting rights) and is not entitled to any dividends.

The Company classifies Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, as there are conversion features that are subject to shareholder approval which is outside of the Company and therefore the securities should be classified outside of permanent stockholders’ deficit. Upon shareholder approval on May 31, 2024, the Company classified the Series B Preferred Stock as permanent equity as of December 31, 2024.

As of April 11, 2025, the issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock was 439,882.

The Series C convertible preferred stock includes the following:

Subject to certain restrictions specified in the Series A Certificate, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including without limitation, the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market, (i) each share of Series C convertible preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time, provided that such conversion occurs at least 18 months following the Original Issuance Date (as defined in the Series C Certificate), into such whole number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing the Original Issue Price (as defined in the Series C Certificate) by the Conversion Price (as defined in the Series C Certificate) in effect at the time of conversion, and (ii) upon the earliest Mandatory Conversion Time (as defined in the Series C Certificate) all outstanding shares of Series C convertible preferred stock shall automatically be converted into shares of common stock;

39


In the event that stockholder approval is not obtained, the holders of the Series C convertible preferred stock may voluntarily convert the Series C convertible preferred stock, provided that in no event shall the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon such voluntary conversion exceed 19.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Date (as defined in the Series C Certificate);
Dividends accrue on each share of Series C convertible preferred stock at the rate per annum of 15% of the Original Issue Price of such share, plus the amount of previously accrued dividends, compounded annually, subject to certain restrictions and provisions as set forth in the Series C Certificate; and
The Series C convertible preferred stock does not have any voting rights, other than any vote required by law or our certificate of incorporation (which does not currently provide for any such voting rights).

There are no circumstances outside the Company's control other than final liquidation that would require the Company to settle the Series C Preferred Stock in cash therefore the Company classified the Series C Preferred Stock as permanent equity as of December 31, 2024.

On January 23, 2025, we issued 126,515 shares of Series C Preferred Stock as a dividend on the shares of Series C Preferred Stock.

As of April 11, 2025, the issued and outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock was 1,464,960.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Selling Stockholder of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal Trading Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
privately negotiated transactions;
settlement of short sales that are not in violation of Regulation SHO;
in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholder to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
a combination of any such methods of sale; or
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholder may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.

40


Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM- 2440.

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholder may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Stockholder and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

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

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholder without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of our common stock by non-U.S. holders (as defined below). This summary deals only with common stock held as a capital asset (within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) and does not discuss all of the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to a non-U.S. holder that is subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws, including, but not limited to: a dealer in securities or currencies; a broker-dealer; a financial institution; a qualified retirement plan, individual retirement plan, or other tax-deferred account; a regulated investment company; a real estate investment trust; a tax-exempt organization; an insurance company; a person holding common stock as part of a hedging, integrated, conversion, or straddle transaction or a person deemed to sell common stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code; a trader in securities that has elected the mark-to-market method of tax accounting; an accrual method taxpayer subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code; an entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or an investor therein); a person that received such common stock in connection with services provided, including upon the exercise of an option; a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax; a corporation organized outside the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia that is nonetheless treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes; a person that is not a non-U.S. holder; a “controlled foreign corporation;” a “passive foreign investment company;” or a U.S. expatriate.

This summary is based upon provisions of the Code, its legislative history, applicable U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, published rulings, and judicial decisions, all as in effect as of the date hereof. We have not sought, and will not seek, any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) with respect to the tax consequences discussed herein, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a position contrary to the tax consequences discussed below or that any position taken by the IRS would not be sustained. Those authorities may be repealed, revoked, or modified, perhaps retroactively, or may be subject to differing interpretations, which could result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. This summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income tax, does not deal with all tax considerations that may be relevant to stockholders in light of their personal circumstances, and does not address the Medicare tax imposed on certain investment income or any state, local, foreign, gift, estate, or alternative minimum tax considerations.

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. holder” is a beneficial holder of common stock that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes: an individual citizen or resident of the United States; a corporation (or any other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or a trust if it (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (2) was in existence on August 20, 1996 and has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

For purposes of this discussion, a “non-U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of common stock that is neither a U.S. holder nor a partnership (or any other entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership) for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its place of organization or formation. If a partnership (or an entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds common stock, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A partner of a partnership holding common stock is urged to consult its tax advisors.

PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME, ESTATE, AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF ACQUIRING, OWNING, AND DISPOSING OF OUR COMMON STOCK IN LIGHT OF THEIR SPECIFIC SITUATIONS, AS WELL AS THE TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER ANY STATE, LOCAL, OR NON-U.S. TAX LAWS AND ANY OTHER U.S. FEDERAL TAX LAWS (INCLUDING THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE AND GIFT TAX LAWS).

Distributions on Our Common Stock

Distributions with respect to common stock, if any, generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid out of current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any portion of a distribution in excess of current or accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a return of capital and will first be applied to reduce the holder’s tax basis in its common stock, but not below zero. Any remaining amount will then be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of the common stock and will be treated as described under “-Disposition of Our Common Stock” below.

Distributions treated as dividends that are paid to a non-U.S. holder, if any, with respect to shares of our common stock will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified in an applicable income tax treaty) of the gross amount of the dividends unless the dividends are effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, subject to the discussion below regarding foreign accounts. If a non-U.S. holder is engaged in a trade or business in the United States and dividends with respect to the common stock are effectively connected with the conduct of that trade or business and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment, then although the non-U.S. holder will generally be exempt from the 30% U.S. federal withholding tax, provided certain certification requirements are satisfied, the non-U.S. holder will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on those dividends on a net income basis at regular U.S. federal income tax rates in the same manner as if such holder were a resident of the United States. Any such effectively connected income received by a foreign corporation may, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional branch profits tax equal to 30% (or lower applicable income tax treaty rate) of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, as adjusted under the Code. To claim the exemption from withholding with respect to any such effectively connected income, the non-U.S. holder must generally furnish to us or our paying agent a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or applicable successor form). In the case of a non-U.S. holder that is an entity, Treasury Regulations and the relevant tax treaty provide rules to determine whether, for purposes of determining the applicability of a tax treaty, dividends will be treated as paid to the entity or to those holding an interest in that entity. If a non-U.S. holder holds stock through a financial institution or other agent acting on the holder’s behalf, the holder will be required to provide appropriate documentation to such agent. Such holder’s agent will then be required to provide certification to us or our paying agent.

A non-U.S. holder of shares of common stock who wishes to claim the benefit of a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable treaty must furnish to us or our paying agent a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or applicable successor form) certifying such holder’s qualification for the exemption or reduced rate. If a non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty and does not timely file the required certification, it may obtain a refund or credit of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing a U.S. tax return with the IRS. Non-U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under a relevant income tax treaty.

Disposition of Our Common Stock

Subject to the discussion below regarding backup withholding, a non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain from a sale, exchange or other disposition of our stock unless: (a) that gain is effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder); (b) the non-U.S. holder is a nonresident alien individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of that disposition, and certain other conditions are met; or (c) we are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation” within the meaning of Code Section 897(c)(2) for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period preceding the date of disposition or the holder’s holding period for our common stock, and certain other requirements are met. Although there can be no assurance, we believe that we are not, and we do not anticipate becoming, a United States real property holding corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Even if we are treated as a United States real property holding corporation, gain realized by a non-U.S. holder on a disposition of our common stock will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax so long as: (1) the non-U.S. holder owned, directly, indirectly and constructively, no more than five percent of our common stock at all times within the shorter of (x) the five-year period preceding the disposition, or (y) the holder’s holding period, and (2) our common stock is regularly traded on an established securities market. Although Nasdaq qualifies as an established securities market, there can be no assurance that our common stock will continue to qualify as regularly

43


traded on an established securities market. If any gain on your disposition is taxable because we are a United States real property holding corporation and your ownership of our common stock exceeds five percent, you will be taxed on such disposition generally in the manner applicable to U.S. persons and in addition, a purchaser of your common stock may be required to withhold tax with respect to that obligation.

If a non-U.S. holder is described in clause (a) of the preceding paragraph, the non-U.S. holder will generally be subject to tax on the net gain derived from the disposition at the regular U.S. federal income tax rates in the same manner as if such non-U.S. holder were a U.S. person, unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise. In addition, a non-U.S. holder that is a corporation may be subject to the branch profits tax at a rate equal to 30% (or lower applicable income tax treaty rate) of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, as adjusted under the Code. If the non-U.S. holder is an individual described in clause (b) of the preceding paragraph, the non-U.S. holder will generally be subject to a flat 30% tax on the gain derived from the disposition, which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses even though the non-U.S. holder is not considered a resident of the United States, provided that the non-U.S. holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Tax

We report to our non-U.S. holders and the IRS certain information with respect to any dividends we pay on our common stock, including the amount of dividends paid during each fiscal year, the name and address of the recipient, and the amount, if any, of tax withheld. All distributions to holders of common stock are subject to any applicable withholding. Information reporting requirements apply even if no withholding was required because the distributions were effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business or withholding was reduced by an applicable income tax treaty. This information also may be made available under a specific treaty or agreement with the tax authorities in the country in which the non-U.S. holder resides or is established. Under U.S. federal income tax law, interest, dividends, and other reportable payments may, under certain circumstances, be subject to “backup withholding” at the then applicable rate (currently, 24%). Backup withholding, however, generally will not apply to distributions on our common stock 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, IRS Form 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 but merely an advance payment, which may be credited against the tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding or refunded to the extent it results in an overpayment of tax and the appropriate information is timely supplied to the IRS.

Foreign Accounts

Certain withholding taxes may apply to certain types of payments made to “foreign financial institutions” (as specially defined under these rules) and certain other non-U.S. entities if certification, information reporting and other specified requirements are not met. A 30% withholding tax may apply to “withholdable payments” if they are paid to a foreign financial institution or to a non-financial foreign entity, unless (a) the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations and other specified requirements are satisfied, or (b) the non-financial foreign entity either certifies it does not have any substantial U.S. owners or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial U.S. owner and other specified requirements are satisfied. “Withholdable payment” generally means any payment of interest, dividends, rents, and certain other types of generally passive income if such payment is from sources within the United States. Treasury regulations proposed in December 2018 (and upon which taxpayers and withholding agents are entitled to rely) eliminate possible withholding under these rules on the gross proceeds from any sale or other disposition of our common stock, previously scheduled to apply beginning January 1, 2022. If the payee is a foreign financial institution, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain U.S. persons or U.S.-owned foreign entities, annually report certain information about such accounts and withhold 30% on payments to account holders whose actions prevent it from complying with these reporting and other requirements, or comply with comparable requirements under an applicable inter-governmental agreement between the United States and the foreign financial institution’s home jurisdiction. If an investor does not provide the information necessary to comply with these rules, it is possible that distributions to such investor that are attributable to withholdable payments, such as dividends, will be subject to the 30% withholding tax. Holders should consult their own tax advisers regarding the implications of these rules for their investment in our common stock.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Our amended certificate of incorporation provides that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, no director shall be personally liable to us or our shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as director.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent to the corporation. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Our bylaws provide for indemnification by us of our directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be provided for directors, officers, employees, agents or persons controlling an issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the opinion of the SEC is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification by such director, officer or controlling person of us in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being offered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

No pending material litigation or proceeding involving our directors, executive officers, employees or other agents as to which indemnification is being sought exists, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened material litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any of our directors or executive officers.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

The following sets forth information regarding all unregistered securities sold by us in transactions that were exempt from the requirements of the Securities Act in the last three years. Except where noted, all of the securities discussed in this Item 15 were all issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Unless otherwise indicated, all of the share issuances described below were made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

(1)
From December 15, 2020 to February 28, 2023, we granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 631 shares of our Class B common stock at exercise prices ranging from $40.00 to $90,000.00 per share to a total of 218 employees, consultants and directors under the 2020 Plan. Of these options, through February 28, 2023, options to purchase 196 shares of our Class B Common Stock have been exercised for cash consideration in the aggregate amount of $622,041, options to purchase 12 shares have been forfeited, cancelled, or expired without being exercised, and options to purchase 423 shares remain outstanding.

From November 13, 2022 to November 29, 2022, we issued convertible notes to 28 accredited investors in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $4.4 million with a maturity date of November 13, 2023, and warrants exercisable for up to 23 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $40.00 per share. In connection with the initial public offering and based on the initial public offering price of $32,000.00 per share, the convertible notes were automatically converted into 142 shares of common stock and the warrants were automatically deemed net exercised for 23 shares of common stock.
(3)
In November 2022, we issued to one accredited investor in connection with an acquisition transaction a warrant that is exercisable for a number of shares of our Class A common stock that is determined by dividing $225,000 by (x) the price per share of our next bona fide equity financing with total proceeds of at least $10,000,000 or (y) the offering price of our initial public offering, whichever event occurs first, for an exercise price of $40.00 per share, in whole or in part. In connection with the initial public offering and based on the initial public offering price of $32,000.00 per share, the warrants were automatically deemed net exercised for 8 shares of common stock.

Each accredited investor received the right to elect to purchase shares of Class A common stock in the rights offering up to their respective pro rata amount, which was equal to the product of (x) $5,000,000, multiplied by (y) the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the number of shares of our capital stock held by the accredited investor as of December 19, 2022 including any common stock issuable on the exercise of warrants or options held by such accredited investor as of December 19, 2022, by (b) our fully-diluted capitalization as of December 19, 2022.
(5)
In March 2023, we issued warrants to four accredited investors in consideration for services rendered, which warrants are exercisable for a number of shares of our common stock that is determined by dividing $400,000 by (x) the price per share of our next bona fide equity financing with total proceeds of at least $10,000,000 or (y) the offering price per share in our initial public offering price, whichever event occurs first, for an exercise price of $40.00 per share, in whole or in part. In connection with the initial public offering and based on the initial public offering price of $32,000.00 per share, the warrants were automatically deemed net exercised for 14 shares of common stock.
(6)
In March 2023, we issued warrants to purchase a total of 47 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.040 per share to three accredited investors in lieu of future cash interest payments under our senior secured notes issued to such investors. In connection with the initial public offering and based on the initial public offering price of $8.00 per share, the warrants were automatically deemed net exercised for 41 shares of common stock.

The warrants are not exercisable until May 2024, after which they will become exercisable for such number of shares of common stock equal to the then-outstanding principal amount under the promissory note divided by the Warrant Stock Fair Market Value as defined in the warrant, with the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant and the Warrant Price are subject to adjustment as set forth in the Warrant.

† The schedules and exhibits to this agreement have been omitted pursuant to Item 601(a)(5) of Regulation S-K. A copy of any omitted schedule or exhibit will be furnished to the SEC upon request.

(b)
Financial Statement Schedules.

All schedules have been omitted because either they are not required, are not applicable or the information is otherwise set forth in the financial statements and related notes thereto.

Item 17. Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)

56


if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
(2)
That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4)
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(5)
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii)
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv)
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(6)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
(7)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 14 above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

57


(8)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(i)
That for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4), or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(ii)
That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and this offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

58
