PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
(to Prospectus dated January 3, 2023)
Up to $2,096,000
Common Stock
EzFill Holdings, Inc.
We have entered into a sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with ThinkEquity LLC (“ThinkEquity” or the “Sales Agent”) relating to shares of our common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, offered by this prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus. In accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement, we may offer and sell shares of our common stock from time to time up to an aggregate offering price of $2,096,000 through or to the Sales Agent, acting as sales agent or principal.
Upon our delivery of a placement notice and subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Sales Agent may sell shares of common stock by methods deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Sales Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in any escrow, trust or similar arrangement.
We will pay the Sales Agent a total commission for its services in acting as agent in the sale of common stock equal to 3.0% of the gross sales price per share of all shares sold through the Sales Agent as agent under the Sales Agreement. See “Plan of Distribution” for information relating to certain expenses of the Sales Agent to be reimbursed by us.
In connection with the sale of common stock on our behalf, the Sales Agent will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and the compensation to the Sales Agent will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have also agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to the Sales Agent with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Our common stock is traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, under the symbol “EZFL.” On February 13, 2023, the last reported sale price of our common stock was $0.45 per share.
As of the date of this prospectus supplement, the aggregate market value of our outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates, or our public float, was approximately $6,290,680 based on 12,838,123 outstanding shares of common stock held by non-affiliates and a per share price of $0.49, the closing price of our common stock on January 31, 2023, which is the highest closing sale price of our common stock within the prior 60 days. We have not sold any securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3 during the prior 12 calendar month period that ends on and includes the date of this prospectus supplement. We are thus currently eligible to offer and sell up to an aggregate of approximately $2,096,000 of our common stock pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3.
We are an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company under Rule 405 of the Securities Act and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein and future filings.
Investing in our securities involves risks. We strongly recommend that you read carefully the risks we describe in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, as well as the risk factors that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus from our filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-7 of this prospectus supplement and page 3 of the accompanying base prospectus.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved the securities we may be offering or determined if this prospectus is accurate or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus relate to an “at the market offering” of shares of our common stock. Before purchasing any shares of our common stock offered hereby, you should carefully read both this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, together with the additional information described under the headings, “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation by Reference.”
On December 22, 2022, we filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-268960), utilizing a shelf registration process relating to the securities described in this prospectus supplement, which registration statement became effective on January 3, 2023. Under this shelf registration process, we may, from time to time, sell common stock and other securities, including this “at the market offering.”
This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of this “at the market offering” of common stock and also adds to and updates information contained in the accompanying base prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into the base prospectus and this prospectus supplement. The second part, the accompanying base prospectus dated January 3, 2023, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, gives more general information, some of which does not apply to this offering. Generally, when we refer to this prospectus, we are referring to both parts of this document combined.
If the description of the offering varies between this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, you should rely on the information contained in this prospectus supplement. However, if any statement in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another document having a later date — for example, a document incorporated by reference — the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement. In particular, with respect to any information contained in this prospectus supplement, on the one hand, and information in the accompanying base prospectus or documents incorporated by reference, on the other hand, the information in this prospectus supplement shall control.
We further note that the representations, warranties and covenants made by us in any agreement that is filed as an exhibit to any document that is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying base prospectus were made solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, including, in some cases, for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to such agreements, and should not be deemed to be a representation, warranty or covenant to you. Moreover, such representations, warranties or covenants were accurate only as of the date when made. Accordingly, such representations, warranties and covenants should not be relied on as accurately representing the current state of our affairs.
We have not, and the Sales Agent has not, authorized any other person to provide you with any information or to make any representations other than those contained in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying base prospectus. We take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. We will not make an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus is accurate only as of the date on its cover and that any information incorporated by reference is accurate only as of the date of the document incorporated by reference, unless we indicate otherwise. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus incorporate by reference market data and industry statistics and forecasts that are based on independent industry publications and other publicly available information. Although we believe these sources are reliable, we do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this information and we have not independently verified this information. In addition, the market and industry data and forecasts that may be included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, or the accompanying base prospectus may involve estimates, assumptions and other risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus and under similar headings in other documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement or the accompanying base prospectus. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on this information.
Unless otherwise expressly indicated or the context otherwise requires, we use the terms “EzFill Holdings, Inc.,” “EzFill”, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” or similar references to refer to EzFill Holdings, Inc. and our subsidiary.

This summary description about us and our business highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus. It does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in our securities. Important information is incorporated by reference into this prospectus. To understand this offering fully, you should read carefully this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in their entirety, including “Risk Factors” included in this prospectus and incorporated by reference, “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the financial statements and the notes to those financial statements incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, together with the additional information described under “Incorporation by Reference.”
Overview
EzFill is a leading app-based mobile-fueling company based in South Florida and the only company which provides fuel-delivery ‘on-demand’ or ‘in subscription’ to customers in three verticals – CONSUMER, COMMERCIAL and SPECIALTY. We are capitalizing on the ever-increasing trend in ‘at home’ or ‘at work’ delivery of products to enable this convenience in the $500 B (according to market estimates) market segment of fueling services. We believe consumers and commerce’s pain points in the time, risk and costs of fueling at stations can be resolved by our on-demand and subscription-based fuel delivery services.
Our app-based interface provides customers the ability to select the time and location of their fueling needs, whether their service request is ‘on demand’ or structured within routine delivery schedules based on their fuel consumption patterns. We streamline our logistics and fuel purchasing with proprietary, backend software which manages customer accounts and mobilizes our fleet of approximately 40 delivery trucks. The Company plans to acquire additional trucks to the extent supported by business growth and available resources. We are able to achieve volume discounted truckloads of fuel at depots, with subsequent delivery of this fuel to customers at home, work or business locations using our team of trained and certified drivers. We have a strong foothold in the South Florida market and are currently the dominant player in the area. We have begun our expansion in major areas in Florida, including Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville, with a plan to continue growing strategically in major metros and metropolitan statistical areas (“MSAs”) in Florida and other states.
We have begun to disrupt the gas station fueling model by providing consumers and businesses the convenience of gas fueling services brought directly to their locations. EzFill provides a safe, convenient and touch-free way for consumers to fuel their cars. For our commercial and specialty customers, at-site delivery of fuel during the down-times of their vehicles provides operators the benefit of beginning their daily operations with fully-fueled vehicles at cost-savings versus traditional fueling options.
On April 7, 2021, the Company entered into a Technology License Agreement with Fuel Butler LLC. Under the terms of the license, the Company issued 265,728 shares of its common stock to the licensor upon signing. The Company also issued 332,160 shares to the licensor in May 2021 upon the filing of a patent application related to the licensed technology. The Company also issued 186,010 shares to the licensor upon the Company’s IPO. The Company will issue up to 730,752 additional shares to the licensor upon the achievement of certain milestones. In addition, the Company has granted stock options for 531,456 shares at an exercise price of $3.76 per share that will become exercisable for three years after the end of the fiscal year in which certain sales levels are achieved using the licensed technology. The Company has the option for four years after the achievement of certain milestones to either acquire the technology or acquire the licensor for the purchase price of 1,062,913 of its common shares. Until the Company exercise one of these options, it will share with the licensor 50% of pre-revenue costs and 50% of the net revenue, as defined, from the use of the technology. The Company does not expect any significant revenue from this agreement until at least 2023. Fuel Butler has delivered a purported notice of termination of the Technology Agreement based on certain alleged breaches arising from our failure to issue equity securities to Fuel Butler. We have been in communications with Fuel Butler regarding the termination of the Technology Agreement and continue to believe that the Company is in compliance with the Technology Agreement and that the Technology Agreement continues to be in force. While we contest Fuel Butler’s claims of breach and contend that in fact Fuel Butler is in breach, we have communicated to Fuel Butler that we wish to terminate the Technology Agreement. We have sent a proposal to Fuel Butler whereby we will cease utilizing the Technology and Fuel Butler will return any shares it received under the Technology Agreement. However, to date, the Company has not had further communications with Fuel Butler regarding this matter. Currently, the Company does not expect to expand into the state of New York for the foreseeable future.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company had a net loss of $9,383,397. At December 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $17,339,396. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had a net loss of $11,215,589. At September 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $28,554,985. The Company anticipates that it will continue to incur losses in future periods until the Company is successful in significantly increasing its revenues. We currently use approximately $0.8 to $1.0 million cash monthly in our operations and we believe that with the additional capital expected from this offering, we will have enough capital to fund our operations for up to two additional months.
Recent developments
As previously reported, on May 20, 2022, the “Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), for the prior 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer met the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”), as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).
On November 17, 2022, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq informing it that although the Company’s common stock has not regained compliance with the minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement, the Staff has determined that the Company is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until May 15, 2023 to regain compliance. The Staff’s determination was based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Capital Market with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split ( the “Reverse Stock Split), if necessary.
If at any time before May 15, 2023, the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of, subject to the Staff’s discretion, 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
The Company will continue to monitor the closing bid price of its Common Stock and will consider its available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement within the allotted compliance period. If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s Common Stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The share amounts set forth in this prospectus have not been adjusted to give effect to a Reverse Stock Split.
On December 21, 2022 (the “Record Date”), the Company obtained written consent from the holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding voting securities (the “Shareholders”) of EzFill Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) approving (i) authorizing the Corporation to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificated Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock by a ratio of not less than 1 for 5 and not more than 1 for 15 (the “Reverse Stock Split”) with the board having the discretion as to whether or not to effect the Reverse Stock Split and with the exact ratio of any Reverse Stock Split to be set at a whole number within the Reverse Stock Split Range determined by the board of the Company provided that if effected the Reverse Stock Split is effected within one year of the Record Date and (ii) authorizing the Board to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of incorporation to (a) decrease the authorized shares of common stock that the Company is authorized to issue from 500,000,000 shares of common stock to 50,000,000 shares of common stock and (b) decrease the authorized shares of preferred stock that the Company is authorized to issue from 50,0000,000 shares of preferred to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock (the “Authorized Share Decrease”) with the Board having the discretion as to whether or not the Authorized Share Decrease is to be effected, provided that if effected the Authorized Share Decrease is effected within one year this consent. The Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Share Decrease were unanimously approved by our Board of Directors (the “Board”) on December 21, 2022, subject to approval by the Shareholders, which was obtained as described above. The Board has discretion to implement the Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Share Decrease any time prior to December 21, 2023. There cannot be any assurance that the Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Share Decrease will be implemented. On the Record Date, there were 26,630,829 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock were issued or outstanding. The Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Share Decrease were approved by the holders of 13,766,133 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein may contain “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements reflect our current view about future events. When used in this prospectus, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, identify forward-looking statements. Such statements, include, but are not limited to, statements contained in this prospectus supplement relating to our business strategy, our future operating results and liquidity and capital resources outlook. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward–looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees of assurance of future performance. We caution you therefore against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation, our ability to raise capital to fund continuing operations; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; the impact of any infringement actions or other litigation brought against us; competition from other providers and products; our ability to develop and commercialize products and services; changes in government regulation; our ability to complete capital raising transactions; and other factors (including the risks contained in the section of this prospectus supplement entitled “Risk Factors”) relating to our industry, our operations and results of operations. Actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.
Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements.
S-5 |
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment in our common stock, you should carefully consider the risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which are incorporated herein by reference (other than, in each case, information furnished, rather than filed), as well as the information contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus relating to this offering. Any of those risk factors could significantly and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock. Although we describe, and will describe, what we believe to be the principal risks related to our Company and the securities we offer, we can also be affected by risks we do not anticipate or do not think will have a material effect upon us. Please also read carefully the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Risks Related to This Offering
The number of shares of common stock available for future issuance or sale could adversely affect the per share trading price of our common stock.
We cannot predict whether future issuances or sales of our common stock or the availability of shares for resale in the open market will decrease the per share trading price of our common stock. The issuance of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market or the perception that such issuances might occur could adversely affect the per share trading price of our common stock.
The actual number of shares we will issue under the Sales Agreement, at any one time or in total, is uncertain.
Subject to certain limitations in the Sales Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver instruction to the Sales Agent to sell shares of our common stock at any time throughout the term of the Sales Agreement. The number of shares that are sold through the Sales Agent after our instruction will fluctuate based on a number of factors, including the market price of our common stock during the sales period, the limits we set with the Sales Agent in any instruction to sell shares, and the demand for our common stock during the sales period. Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate during this offering, it is not currently possible to predict the number of shares that will be sold or the gross proceeds to be raised in connection with those sales.
The common stock offered hereby will be sold in “at the market offerings,” and investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.
Investors who purchase shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience different levels of dilution, and different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold in this offering. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase in this offering as a result of sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.
Our share price may be volatile and could decline substantially.
The market price of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations due to changes in sentiment in the market regarding our operations or business prospects. Many factors may cause the market price for our common stock to decline, including:
● | shortfalls in revenues, cash flows or continued losses from operations; | |
● | low fuel prices may also impact our profitability; | |
● | future climate change laws and regulations and the market response to these changes may negatively impact our operations; | |
● | local governments may make and enforce laws and regulations that ban mobile fuel delivery | |
● | the decline of the retail fuel market may impact our potential to get new customers.; and | |
● | unfavorable outcomes from litigation. |
S-6 |
In addition, the stock market experiences extreme fluctuations in price and volume that particularly affect the market price of shares of companies like ours. These price and volume fluctuations are often unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the affected companies. Because of this volatility, we may fail to meet the expectations of our stockholders or of securities analysts, and our stock price could decline as a result. Declines in our stock price for any reason, as well as broad-based market fluctuations or fluctuations related to our financial results or other developments, may adversely affect your ability to sell your shares at a price equal to or above the price at which you purchased them. Decreases in the price of our common stock may also lead to de-listing of our common Stock.
Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from this offering, and we may not use the proceeds effectively.
We have not allocated specific amounts of the net proceeds from this offering for any specific purpose. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that you do not agree with or that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. See “Use of Proceeds.” Our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial results, operating results and/or cash flow and could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
Additional financing or future equity issuances may result in future dilution to our stockholders.
We expect that we will need to raise additional funds in the future to finance our growth, our current and planned initiatives, and for other reasons. Any required additional financing may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, you may experience significant dilution of your ownership interest and the newly issued securities may have rights senior to those of the holders of our common stock. The price per share at which we sell additional securities in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering. Alternatively, if we raise additional funds by obtaining loans from third parties, the terms of those financing arrangements may include negative covenants or other restrictions on our business that could impair our operational flexibility and would also require us to fund additional interest expense. If adequate additional financing is not available when required or is not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to successfully execute our business plan.
Because we do not currently intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock, stockholders will primarily benefit from an investment in our stock only if it appreciates in value.
We do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends on our shares of common stock. We currently intend to retain all future earnings, if any, for use in the operations and expansion of the business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of cash dividends or non-cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on factors the board of directors deems relevant, including among others, our results of operations, financial condition and cash requirements, business prospects, and the terms of any of our financing arrangements. Accordingly, realization of a gain on stockholders’ investments will primarily depend on the appreciation of the price of our stock. There is no guarantee that our stock will appreciate in value.
You will experience immediate and substantial dilution.
The offering price per share in this offering may exceed the net tangible book value per share of our common stock outstanding prior to this offering. Assuming that an aggregate of $2,096,000 of shares of our common stock are sold at the assumed offering price of $0.45 per share (the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on February 13, 2023), and after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us, you will experience immediate dilution of $0.10 per share, representing the difference between our as adjusted net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2022 after giving effect to this offering and the assumed offering price. In addition, we are not restricted from issuing additional securities in the future, including shares of common stock, securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock or substantially similar securities. The issuance of these securities may cause further dilution to our stockholders. The exercise of outstanding warrants, stock options and the vesting of outstanding restricted stock units may also result in further dilution of your investment. See the section entitled “Dilution” on page S-15 below for a more detailed illustration of the dilution you may incur if you participate in this offering.
S-7 |
We may issue and sell shares of our common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $2,096,000 from time to time under this prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus and the Sales Agreement. The amount of proceeds from this offering will depend upon the number of shares of our common stock sold and the market price at which they are sold. There can be no assurance that we will be able to sell any shares under or fully utilize the Sales Agreement with the Sales Agent as a source of financing. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the net proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time.
We intend to use the net proceeds, if any, from this offering for general corporate purposes and working capital. Our management will retain broad discretion in the allocation and use of the net proceeds of this offering, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds. The precise amount, use and timing of the application of such proceeds will depend upon our funding requirements and the availability and cost of other capital.
We do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the growth of our business. If we decide to pay cash dividends in the future, the declaration and payment of such dividends will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors and may be discontinued at any time. In determining the amount of any future dividends, our board of directors will take into account any legal or contractual limitations, our actual and anticipated future earnings, cash flow, debt service and capital requirements and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.

If you invest in this offering, your ownership interest will be immediately diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering. We calculate net tangible book value per share by dividing the net tangible book value, which is the total tangible assets less total liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. Dilution represents the difference between the portion of the amount per share paid by purchasers of shares in this offering and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after giving effect to this offering. Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2022 was approximately $8,921,000, or $0.34 per share.
After giving effect to the adjustments described in the “Capitalization” section including the sale of our common stock during the term of the Sales Agreement with the Sales Agent in the aggregate amount of $2,096,000 at an assumed offering price of $0.45 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on February 13, 2023, and after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us, on an as-adjusted basis assuming 26,490,424 outstanding common shares, consisting of shares outstanding as of September 30, 2022, our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2022 would have been approximately $10,796,375, or approximately $0.35 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of approximately $0.01 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of approximately $0.10 per share to new investors.
The following table illustrates this per share dilution based on shares outstanding as of September 30, 2022:
Assumed public offering price per common stock | $ | 0.45 | ||
Net tangible book value per common stock at September 30, 2022 | $ | 0.34 | ||
Increase in net tangible book value per common stock as a result of this offering | $ | 0.01 | ||
Pro Forma Net tangible book value per common stock as of September 30, 2022 after this offering | $ | 0.35 | ||
Dilution in net tangible book value per common share to new investors in this offering | $ | 0.10 |

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a three-year period following the time that this stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Under Section 203, a business combination between a corporation and an interested stockholder is prohibited unless it satisfies one of the following conditions:
● | before the stockholder became interested, our board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; | |
● | upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and employee stock plans, in some instances, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder; or | |
● | at or after the time the stockholder became interested, the business combination was approved by our board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
Section 203 defines a business combination to include: |

We entered into a Sales Agreement with the Sales Agent under which we may issue and sell from time to time up to $2,096,000 of our common stock through or to the Sales Agent as sales agent or principal. The Sales Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K dated the date of this prospectus supplement and is incorporated herein by reference. Sales of the common stock, if any, will be made at market prices by methods deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act.
Upon delivery of a placement notice, the Sales Agent may offer the common stock subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement on a daily basis or as otherwise agreed upon by us and the Sales Agent. We will designate the maximum amount of common stock to be sold through the Sales Agent on a daily basis or otherwise determine such maximum amount together with the Sales Agent. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Sales Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell on our behalf all of the shares of common stock requested to be sold by us. We may instruct the Sales Agent not to sell common stock if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by us in any such instruction. We or the Sales Agent may suspend the offering of the common stock being made through the Sales Agent under the Sales Agreement upon proper notice to the other party and subject to other conditions.
We will pay the Sales Agent a commission, in cash, for its services in acting as agent in the sale of our common stock. The aggregate compensation payable to the Sales Agent shall be equal to 3.0% of the gross sales price per share of all shares sold through the Sales Agent under the Sales Agreement. We also have agreed to reimburse the Sales Agent up to a maximum of $50,000 for its costs and expenses relating to the Sales Agreement, including legal expenses. We have paid an expense deposit of $25,000 to the Sales Agent, which will be applied against the actual out-of-pocket accountable expenses that will be paid by us to the Sales Agent in connection with this offering and will be reimbursed to us to the extent not incurred. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. The total expenses of the offering payable by us, excluding commissions payable to the Sales Agent under the Sales Agreement, is approximately $158,000.
Settlement for sales of common stock will occur on the second business day following the date on which any sales are made, or on some other date that is agreed upon by us and the Sales Agent in connection with a particular transaction, in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. Sales of our common stock as contemplated in this prospectus will be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as we and the Sales Agent may agree upon. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.
The Sales Agent is not required to sell any specific amount of securities, but will act as our sales agent using its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its sales and trading practices under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sales Agreement. In connection with the sales of the common stock on our behalf, the Sales Agent will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation to them will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have also agreed in the Sales Agreement to provide indemnification and contribution to the Sales Agent with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The offering of our common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate automatically upon the sale of all shares of our common stock subject to the Sales Agreement and this prospectus supplement or as otherwise permitted therein. We and the Sales Agent may each terminate the Sales Agreement at any time upon ten days’ prior written notice.

ThinkEquity was paid a commission equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds of the offering and a 1% non-accountable expense allowance in addition to the payment of $125,000 for its expenses incurred in such offering. In addition, the Company issued ThinkEquity warrants to purchase up a number of shares of common stock equal to 5% of the number of shares sold in offering. Furthermore, for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of the Underwriting Agreement, we agreed to grant to ThinkEquity, subject to certain exceptions, an irrevocable right of first refusal to act as sole investment banker, sole book-runner and/or sole placement agent, at ThinkEquity’s sole discretion, for each and every future public and private equity and debt offering, including all equity linked financings, during such eighteen (18) month period for us, or any successor to or any subsidiary of us, on terms agreed to by both us and ThinkEquity.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains “forward-looking statements” Forward-looking statements reflect our current view about future events. When used in this prospectus, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, identify forward-looking statements. Such statements, include, but are not limited to, statements contained in this prospectus relating to our business strategy, our future operating results and liquidity and capital resources outlook. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward–looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees of assurance of future performance. We caution you therefore against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation, our ability to raise capital to fund continuing operations; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; the impact of any infringement actions or other litigation brought against us; competition from other providers and products; our ability to develop and commercialize products and services; changes in government regulation; our ability to complete capital raising transactions; and other factors (including the risks contained in the section of this prospectus entitled “Risk Factors”) relating to our industry, our operations and results of operations. Actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.
Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements.

We streamline our logistics with proprietary, backend software which manages customer accounts and mobilizes our fleet of approximately 40 delivery trucks. The Company plans to acquire additional trucks to the extent supported by business growth. We deliver fuel to customers at home, work or business locations using our team of trained and certified drivers.

We have begun to disrupt the gas station fueling model by providing consumers and businesses the convenience of gas fueling services brought directly to their locations. EzFill provides a safe, convenient and touch-free way for consumers to fuel their cars. For our commercial customers, at-site delivery of fuel during the down-times of their vehicles provides operators the benefit of beginning their daily operations with fully-fueled vehicles at cost-savings versus traditional fueling options. Our specialty vertical includes marinas, individual boat owners, construction sites, heavy machinery, generators and reserve tanks. The Company generally does not have any long-term agreements with its customers. Customer agreements are generally cancelable at any time by either party and as such there cannot be any assurance that any customer will continue to use the Company’s services.
On April 7, 2021, the Company entered into a Technology License Agreement with Fuel Butler LLC. Under the terms of the license, the Company issued 265,728 shares of its common stock to the licensor upon signing. The Company also issued 332,160 shares to the licensor in May 2021 upon the filing of a patent application related to the licensed technology. The Company also issued 186,010 shares to the licensor upon the Company’s IPO. The Company will issue up to 730,752 additional shares to the licensor upon the achievement of certain milestones. In addition, the Company has granted stock options for 531,456 shares at an exercise price of $3.76 per share that will become exercisable for three years after the end of the fiscal year in which certain sales levels are achieved using the licensed technology. The Company has the option for four years after the achievement of certain milestones to either acquire the technology or acquire the licensor for the purchase price of 1,062,913 of its common shares. Until the Company exercise one of these options, it will share with the licensor 50% of pre-revenue costs and 50% of the net revenue, as defined, from the use of the technology. The Company does not expect any significant revenue from this agreement until at least 2023. Under the Technology Agreement, the Company licenses proprietary technology that it believes will enable the Company to expand its services into certain other markets. To this end, the Company believes this technology will allow it to provide its fuel service in high density areas like New York City. Fuel Butler has delivered a purported notice of termination of the Technology Agreement based on certain alleged breaches arising from our failure to issue equity securities to Fuel Butler. We have been in communications with Fuel Butler regarding the termination of the Technology Agreement and continue to believe that the Company is in compliance with the Technology Agreement and that the Technology Agreement continues to be in force. While we contest Fuel Butler’s claims of breach and contend that in fact Fuel Butler is in breach, we have communicated to Fuel Butler that we wish to terminate the Technology Agreement. We have sent a proposal to Fuel Butler whereby we will cease utilizing the Technology and Fuel Butler will return any shares it received under the Technology Agreement. The ongoing issues surrounding the Technology Agreement may delay our expansion into the state of New York. However, to date, the Company has not had further communications with Fuel Butler regarding this matter. Currently, the Company does not expect to expand into the state of New York for the foreseeable future.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company had a net loss of $9,383,397. At December 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $17,339,396. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had a net loss of $11,215,589. At September 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $28,554,985. The Company anticipates that it will continue to incur losses in future periods until the Company is successful in significantly increasing its revenues.
Recent developments
As previously reported, on May 20, 2022, the “Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), for the prior 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer met the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”), as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).
On November 17, 2022, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq informing it that although the Company’s common stock has not regained compliance with the minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement, the Staff has determined that the Company is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until May 15, 2023 to regain compliance. The Staff’s determination was based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Capital Market with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split ( the “Reverse Stock Split), if necessary.
If at any time before May 15, 2023, the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of, subject to the Staff’s discretion, 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

The Company will continue to monitor the closing bid price of its Common Stock and will consider its available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement within the allotted compliance period. If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s Common Stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The share amounts set forth in this prospectus have not been adjusted to give effect to a Reverse Stock Split.
On December 21, 2022 (the “Record Date”), the Company obtained written consent from the holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding voting securities (the “Shareholders”) of EzFill Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) approving (i) authorizing the Corporation to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificated Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock by a ratio of not less than 1 for 5 and not more than 1 for 15 (the “Reverse Stock Split”) with the board having the discretion as to whether or not to effect the Reverse Stock Split and with the exact ratio of any Reverse Stock Split to be set at a whole number within the Reverse Stock Split Range determined by the board of the Company provided that if effected the Reverse Stok Split is effected within one year of the Record Date and (ii) authorizing the Board to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of incorporation to (a) decrease the authorized shares of common stock that the Company is authorized to issue from 500,000,000 shares of common stock to 50,000,000 shares of common stock and (b) decrease the authorized shares of preferred stock that the Company is authorized to issue from 50,0000,000 shares of preferred to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock (the “Authorized Share Decrease”) with the Board having the discretion as to whether or not the Authorized Share Decrease is to be effected, provided that if effected the Authorized Share Decrease is effected within one year this consent. The Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Share Decrease were unanimously approved by our Board of Directors (the “Board”) on December 21, 2022, subject to approval by the Shareholders, which was obtained as described above. The Board has discretion to implement the Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Share Decrease any time prior to December 21, 2023. There cannot be any assurance that the Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Share Decrease will be implemented.
On the Record Date, there were 26,630,829 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock were issued or outstanding. The Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Share Decrease were approved by the holders of 13,766,133 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.

If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of NASDAQ, we would face possible delisting, which would result in a limited public market for our shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.
As previously reported, on May 20, 2022, the “Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), for the prior 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer met the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”), as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).
On November 17, 2022, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq informing it that although the Company’s common stock has not regained compliance with the minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement, the Staff has determined that the Company is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until May 15, 2023 to regain compliance. The Staff’s determination was based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Capital Market with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.
If at any time before May 15, 2023, the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of, subject to the Staff’s discretion, 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
The Company will continue to monitor the closing bid price of its Common Stock and will consider its available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement within the allotted compliance period. If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s Common Stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
If the Company fails to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rules, we could be subject to suspension and delisting proceedings. If our securities lose their status on The NASDAQ Capital Market, our securities would likely trade in the over-the-counter market. If our securities were to trade on the over-the-counter market, selling our securities could be more difficult because smaller quantities of securities would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of us may be reduced. In addition, in the event our securities are delisted, broker-dealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, further limiting the liquidity of our securities. These factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for our securities. Such delisting from The NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatly impair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing, and could significantly increase the ownership dilution to shareholders caused by our issuing equity in financing or other transactions.
A Reverse Stock Split could result in a significant devaluation of the Company’s market capitalization and trading price of the Common Stock, and we cannot assure you that the a Reverse Stock Split will increase our stock price and have the desired effect of increasing the market price of the Common Stock such that the market price of our Common Stock meets Nasdaq’s Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
The Company may effect a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The Company’s Board expects that a Reverse Stock Split of the outstanding Common Stock will increase the market price of the Common Stock. However, the Company cannot be certain whether the Reverse Stock Split would lead to a sustained increase in the trading price or the trading market for the Common Stock. The history of similar stock split combinations for companies in like circumstances is varied. There is no assurance that:
● | the market price per share of the Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split will rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of pre-split shares of Common Stock outstanding before the Reverse Stock Split; | |
● | the Reverse Stock Split will result in a per share price that will attract brokers and investors, including institutional investors, who do not trade in lower priced securities; | |
● | the Reverse Stock Split will result in a per share price that will increase the Company’s ability to attract and retain employees and other service providers; | |
● | the market price per post-split share will be sufficient to satisfy the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and | |
● | the Reverse Stock Split will increase the trading market for the common Stock, particularly if the stock price does not increase as a result of the reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock available in the public market. |
7 |
The market price of the Common Stock will also be based on the Company’s performance and other factors, some of which are unrelated to the number of shares outstanding. If the Reverse Stock Split is consummated and the trading price of the Common Stock declines, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of the Company’s overall market capitalization may be greater than what would occur in the absence of the Reverse Stock Split. Furthermore, the liquidity of the Common Stock could be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split and this could have an adverse effect on the price of the Common Stock. If the market price of the shares of Common Stock declines subsequent to the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, this will detrimentally impact the Company’s market capitalization and the market value of the Company’s public float.
The Reverse Stock Split may result in some stockholders owning “odd lots” that may be more difficult to sell or require greater transaction costs per share to sell.
The Reverse Stock Split may result in some stockholders owning “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of Common Stock on a post-split basis. These odd lots may be more difficult to sell, or require greater transaction costs per share to sell, than shares in “round lots” of even multiples of 100 shares.
The Reverse Stock Split may not help generate additional investor interest.
There can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split will result in a per share price that will attract institutional investors or investment funds or that such share price will satisfy the investing guidelines of institutional investors or investment funds. As a result, the trading liquidity of our Common Stock may not necessarily improve.
We are dependent on one large customer for a significant portion of our revenue
For the year ended December 31, 2021 and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had one customer that made up 58% and 37% of revenue, respectively. The loss of this customer could have a material negative impact on our future revenues and results.
Loss of a major customer could result in a decrease in our future sales and earnings.
In any given quarter or year, sales of our products may be concentrated in a few major customers. We anticipate that a limited number of customers in any given period may account for a substantial portion of our total net revenue for the foreseeable future. The business risks associated with this concentration, including increased credit risks for these and other customers and the possibility of related bad debt write-offs, could negatively affect our margins and profits. Additionally, the Company generally does not have any long-term agreements with its customers. Customer agreements are generally cancelable at any time by either party and as such there cannot be any assurance that any customer will continue to use the Company’s services. The loss of a major customer, whether through competition or consolidation, or a termination in sales to any major customer, could result in a decrease of our future sales and earnings.
Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities under this prospectus for general corporate purposes, including working capital.
Common Stock
We are authorized to issue five hundred million (500,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share. As of October 31, 2022, 26,490,424 shares of our common stock were outstanding and held by stockholders of record.

Preferred Stock
We are authorized to issue up to 50 million (50,000,000) shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001 per share, all of which shares of preferred stock will be undesignated
Our board of directors will have the authority, without further action by our stockholders, to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof. These rights, preferences and privileges could include dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting, or the designation of, such series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of common stock. The issuance of our preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon our liquidation. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company or other corporate action.
Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes could, under some circumstances, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change-in-control of the Company.
We do not have preferred stock outstanding.
Amendments of our Bylaws
The Board of Directors is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal our Bylaws. Any adoption, amendment or repeal of our Bylaws shall require the approval of a majority of the authorized number of directors. Our stockholders shall also have power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Company; provided, however, that, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Company required by law or by our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, such action by stockholders shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.
Our shareholders do not have any registration rights.

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a three-year period following the time that this stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Under Section 203, a business combination between a corporation and an interested stockholder is prohibited unless it satisfies one of the following conditions:
● | before the stockholder became interested, our board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; | |
● | upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and employee stock plans, in some instances, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder; or | |
● | at or after the time the stockholder became interested, the business combination was approved by our board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
Section 203 defines a business combination to include: |
● | any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder; | |
● | any sale, transfer, lease, pledge or other disposition involving the interested stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation; |
We may issue warrants for the purchase of preferred stock or common stock. Warrants may be issued independently or together with any preferred stock or common stock, and may be attached to or separate from any offered securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between a warrant agent specified in the agreement and us. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants of that series and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders or beneficial owners of warrants. This summary of some provisions of the warrants is not complete. You should refer to the warrant agreement, including the forms of warrant certificate representing the warrants, relating to the specific warrants being offered for the complete terms of the warrant agreement and the warrants. The warrant agreement, together with the terms of the warrant certificate and warrants, will be filed with the SEC in connection with the offering of the specific warrants.

Upon receipt of payment and the warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, forward the purchased securities. If less than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate are exercised, a new warrant certificate will be issued for the remaining warrants.
Prior to the exercise of any warrants to purchase preferred stock or common stock, holders of the warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the common stock or preferred stock purchasable upon exercise, including in the case of warrants for the purchase of common stock or preferred stock, the right to vote or to receive any payments of dividends on the preferred stock or common stock purchasable upon exercise.

Sale Through Underwriters or Dealers
Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement.
If underwriters are used in the sale, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account, including through underwriting, purchase, security lending or repurchase agreements with us. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions. Underwriters may sell the securities in order to facilitate transactions in any of our other securities (described in this prospectus or otherwise), including other public or private transactions and short sales. Underwriters may offer securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.
If dealers are used in the sale of securities offered through this prospectus, we will sell the securities to them as principals. They may then resell those securities to the public at varying prices determined by the dealers at the time of resale. The prospectus supplement will include the names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction.
Direct Sales and Sales Through Agents
We may sell the securities offered through this prospectus directly. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. Such securities may also be sold through agents designated from time to time. The prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities and will describe any commissions payable to the agent. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment.
We may sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any sale of those securities. The terms of any such sales will be described in the prospectus supplement.
12 |
Delayed Delivery Contracts
If the supplement indicates, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase securities at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described in the prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.
Continuous Offering Program
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we may enter into a continuous offering program equity distribution agreement with a broker-dealer, under which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock from time to time through a broker-dealer as our sales agent. If we enter into such a program, sales of the shares of common stock, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the OTC Pink or other market on which are shares may then trade at market prices, block transactions and such other transactions as agreed upon by us and the broker-dealer. Under the terms of such a program, we also may sell shares of common stock to the broker-dealer, as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. If we sell shares of common stock to such broker-dealer as principal, we will enter into a separate terms agreement with such broker-dealer, and we will describe this agreement in a separate prospectus supplement or pricing supplement.
Market Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions
Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, other than our common stock, all securities we offer under this prospectus will be a new issue and will have no established trading market. We may elect to list offered securities on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market. Any underwriters that we use in the sale of offered securities may make a market in such securities, but may discontinue such market making at any time without notice. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the securities will have a liquid trading market.
Any underwriter may also engage in stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Rule 104 under the Securities Exchange Act. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security in the open market for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions.
Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be in the absence of the transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these transactions, discontinue them at any time.
General Information
Agents, underwriters, and dealers may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us, to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
