The Company

Overview

Applied UV is focused on the development, acquisition and commercialization of technology that address air purification and infection control in the cannabis, food preservation, winery, healthcare, hospitality, schools, correctional facilities, dental and long-term care, dairy, and consumer markets. The Company offers science-based solutions and products in air purification under the Airocide and Scientific Air Management brand and label and disinfection of hard surfaces under the Lumicide brand and label. MunnWorks, our subsidiary focuses on the hospitality market, manufactures and supplies furniture, fine decorative framed mirrors, framed art, and vanities. MunnWorks provides us cross-selling opportunities for our Airocide and Lumicide products. Applied UV is a holding company. Our current operating companies are SteriLumen and MunnWorks.

Air Purification Solutions: Airocide Air Purification

On February 8, 2021 we acquired substantially all of the assets of Akida Holdings LLC ("Akida"), which owned the Airocide™ system of air purification technologies for $7.88 million, consisting of $0.76 million in cash and 1.375 million shares of our Common Stock (the "Acquisition") with a fair market value of $7.12 million. Prior to the Acquisition, Akida granted KES Science & Technology, Inc. ("KES") a non-exclusive irrevocable royalty free license (the "KES License") to manufacture and sell products based on Airocide™ technology in the United States and Canada for use in the commercial food preservation and preparation market, and the cannabis/hemp market. KES also manufactures, distributes and provides technical support for our Airocide™ products pursuant to certain service agreements (the "KES Service Agreements"). At the closing of the KES Acquisition, the KES Service Agreements were assigned to us and we assumed all of the obligations under the KES Service Agreements.

On September 28, 2021, we acquired substantially all of the assets of KES, including the assignment of contracts related to the supply chain management and sale of the Airocide™ system of air purification technologies, for $4.3 million in cash and 300,000 shares of our common stock with a fair market value of $1,959,000 (the "KES Acquisition"). The KES Acquisition along with the Acquisition provides us with all of the rights, title and interest to the Airocide™ system of air purification technologies, including all of the rights KES had under the KES Service Agreements.

The Airocide™ system of air purification technologies, originally developed for the National Aeronatuics and Space Administration ("NASA") with assistance from the University of Wisconsin at Madison, uses a combination of UVC and a proprietary, titanium dioxide based photocatalyst to eliminate airborne bacteria, mold, fungi, viruses, volatile organic compounds and many odors. We believe Airocide™ can provide solutions to accelerate the reopening of the global economy with applications in the hospitality, hotel, healthcare, nursing homes, grocer, wine, commercial buildings and retail sectors. The Airocide™ system has been used by brands such as DelMonte, Kroger, Opus One, and in March 2021 the Boston Red Sox agreed with SteriLumen to install an Airocide™ system at Fenway Park and JetBlue Park.

The core Airocide™ technology has been in use on the International Space Station and is based on photo-catalytic oxidation (PCO), a bioconversion process that continuously converts damaging molds, microorganisms, dangerous pathogens, destructive volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) and biological gasses into harmless water vapor.

Unlike other air purification systems that provide "active" air cleaning, ozone producing systems, ionization or "photo-electrochemical oxidation", Airocide's nanocoating technology permanently bonds titanium dioxide to the surface of the catalytic bed. This permits the perpetual generation of surface-bound (OH-) radicals over the large surface area created by their advanced geometric design and prevents the generation and release of ozone and other harmful byproducts. The proprietary formulation and methods for creating the catalyst are the basis of Airocide's competitive advantage, making it the only consistently robust, highly effective, ozone free PCO technology on the market.

2

Airocide™ has been tested over the past 12 years by governmental agencies such as NASA, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, independent universities including the University of Wisconsin, Texas Tech University and Texas A&M, and air quality science laboratories. Airocide technology is listed as a FDA class II medical device, making it suitable for providing medical grade air purification in critical hospital use cases. Airocide® product lines include: APS (consumer units) and the GCS and HD lines (commercial units) and will enable the commercial units with the SteriLumen App to bring connectivity, reporting and asset management to our air purification products.

The APS series provides true choice, low maintenance filter-less PCO or a filtered air purification option ideal for restaurants, conference rooms, residential and small business or home office spaces. The GCS series is suitable for larger public spaces and enclosed rooms that may have high occupancy such as offices, waiting rooms and hotel lobbies, and airport gate areas. The HD series is the most powerful, providing two-stage purification for fast sanitization of larger or industrial spaces such as sporting venues and locker rooms, airports, museums, winery cellars, warehouses and food-processing facilities. All Airocide™ products also extend the life of any perishables like fruit, produce or flowers.

Scientific Air

On October 13, 2021, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Old SAM Partners, LLC F/K/A Scientific Air Management, LLC ("Old SAM"), which owned a line of air purification technologies ("Scientific Air") for a purchase price of $9.5 million in cash and 200,000 fully vested shares of our Common Stock (the "Vested Shares") and 200,000 shares of our Common Stock that are subject to vesting (the "Earnout Shares") (the "'SciAir' Acquisition"). The number of shares of Common Stock included in the purchase price was based on a per share value of $10.00. With respect to the Vested Shares and the Earnout Shares, the Acquisition agreement provided that we would pay additional cash compensation to Scientific Air if the if the 20 day average price of our common stock was below $10.00 on April 14, 2022, in the case of the Vested Shares or March 31, 2023, in the case of the Earnout Shares. Such amounts were payable only if Old SAM or its affiliates owned Vested Shares or Earnout Shares on the applicable determination date. As described below, Old SAM and certain of its affiliates have relinquished their right to all 400,000 Vested Shares and Earnout Shares.

On March 31, 2022 we entered into a Settlement Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") with Old SAM and the members thereof who executed the Settlement Agreement (collectively, the "Old SAM Parties"), pursuant to which the Old SAM Parties relinquished all of their right, title and interest in any of the Vested Shares and the Earnout Shares and no longer have the right to any additional cash consideration as described above. The Settlement Agreement also contains a mutual release of all claims we and the Old SAM parties have against each other, other than claims related to certain consulting agreements executed in connection with Acquisition. The Settlement Agreement was not the result of any litigation, and no claims were filed by us against any of the Old SAM Parties or by any of the Old SAM Parties against us.

The Scientific Air product line uses a combination of UVC and a proprietary, patented system to eliminate airborne bacteria, mold, fungi, viruses, volatile organic compounds and many odors without producing any harmful by- products. Scientific Air's products are well suited for larger spaces within a facility due to the higher air flow of these units. The units are also mobile with industrial grade casters, allowing for movement throughout a facility to address increased bio burden from larger meetings or increased human traffic. Both of these key items extend our Airocide line, creating a comprehensive air disinfection portfolio that spans from small to large spaces and mobile applications.

Scientific Air's products are currently sold predominantly in North America and into the healthcare market. We see a number of bidirectional synergies. First, we look to leverage Airocide's global distribution capabilities to start distributing Scientific Air's products internationally. Second, we look to leverage Scientific Air's strength in healthcare to pull through existing Airocide units, creating a broad healthcare product line, from small clinics, patient rooms and doctor's offices to larger spaces such as nursing stations, waiting rooms and cafeterias. Scientific Air currently leverages one of the largest healthcare distributors in North America, which is a relationship we intend to further develop to increase our customer base and revenue. Finally, we look to implement our IoT integration to our platform for connecting all our units via the SteriLumen App, creating smart asset management, reporting, and control across enterprises.

Both our Airocide and Scientific Air Management brands are sold globally in 52 countries through approximately 52 distribution channels including master distributors, dealers, and sales representatives.

Market Opportunity

Our goal is to build a company that successfully designs, develops and markets our air and surface disinfection solutions that will enable US and global economies to re-open and provide safe environments during and following the pandemic. We will seek to achieve this goal by having our products actively involved in the following activities:

Focus on key target verticals that have proven business use cases including:

Cannabis
Food Preservation
Healthcare
Winery
Hospitality
Schools
Correctional Facilities
Dental and Long-Term Care
Consumer Markets
In addition to further developing Airocide, Scientific Air, and Lumicide specific sales efforts, we intend to leverage the Company's hospitality business (MunnWorks) for cross-selling opportunities of our air purification and surface disinfectant solutions and products. Our initial research indicates that the key stakeholders in this market value the asset management and reporting capabilities of our platform and provide key points of differentiation.
Expand our global distributor channels into new markets not currently served.
Continue scientific validation through lab testing and data from real world deployments; publish case studies in peer reviewed journals.
Leverage domestic contract manufacture to eliminate the global supply chain and logistics disruption.

We are also prioritizing our opportunities in additional market segments:

Cruise Line Bathrooms. Because of the close quarters inside most cruise line cabins, pathogens can easily be spread amongst passengers, especially on long voyages where cruise line bathrooms have more use and may not be cleaned before the end of the trip. Our SteriLumen App could provide an important means for disinfecting cruise line bathrooms, keeping track of cleanliness during voyages, and decreasing the spread of germs in the cruise liner.

Restaurants. Given the need to prevent foodborne illness, restaurants are constantly urging staff to wash their hands and are required by public health authorities to keep their premises as clean and germ-free as possible. There is an opportunity to become part of upscale restaurants' strategy to demonstrate dedication and commitment to customers and health department to reduce the spread of infections within their establishment.

Consumer. We look to expand our consumer marketplace reach with our Airocide brand and we plan to expand digital marketing activities to gain greater market share.

Surface Disinfection Solutions: Lumicide

The Company's Lumicide brand of products are unique, patented, and automated disinfecting systems that rely on LEDs in the "C" range of the ultraviolet spectrum (UVC). Lumicide offers configurable options for placement of the UVC LEDs in a wide variety of fixtures including but not limited to vanities, restrooms, above desks or along countertops. Lumicide disinfects hard surfaces within 12 to 24 inches of the unit, generating adequate energy required to kill pathogens in a typical disinfection cycle at extremely low power measured in milliwatts. Lumicide has been tested by ResInnova Laboratories, an International Antimicrobial Council certified BSL-2 testing facility ("ResInnova").

Our product platform includes the following attributes:

Focus on high-contamination surfaces Focuses on pathogens that accumulate on the sink area, including handles, faucets, backsplash and in the drain.
Germicidal UVC LEDs. The UVC LEDs in our devices have demonstrated destruction of the most clinically relevant pathogens causing HAIs as well as destruction of SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19.
Automatic operation. A built-in programmable controller within the unit ensures operation for the appropriate UVC dosage required to conduct four logs pathogen destruction and is not dependent on manual operation. Its functionality is expandable and may become a source for recurring income through additional data reporting, leasing and maintenance of add-on elements.
Continuous operation. Works in pre-programmed cycles that can be managed by an on-board programmable controller. The motion detectors enclosed within each device allow continuous disinfection of high contamination areas as long as room occupants are outside a safe distance of the device. Research has shown that microbes can rebound to pre-disinfection levels within two hours following manual cleaning and disinfection. Lumicide products operating continuously mitigate pathogen regeneration.
Safety. Built-in redundant motion sensors automatically shut off when movement is detected within range of the UVC light, or failure of motion sensors on the unit, eliminating safety concerns about UVC exposure. Once there is no movement in the room for programmed time period, Lumcide comes back on to restart and continue its cycle.

We currently have five product lines incorporating Lumicide including:

(i) disinfecting drain device (in market);

(ii) disinfecting shelf, is a ribbon that can be installed above a sink, beneath an existing bathroom mirror, or above other high-contamination risk surfaces (in market);

(iii) disinfecting back-lit mirror (in development);

The Company has pursued validation of its platform in both laboratory and real clinical settings. Devices were independently tested in 2017, before the pandemic, and again in 2020 at ResInnova Laboratories, an International Antimicrobial Council certified BSL-2 testing facility. The disinfecting mirror and disinfecting drain devices were found to be effective in killing (3-4 log reductions) the most infectious and clinically important pathogens including C. difficile, methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), E. Coli, and OC43 human coronavirus, a strain structurally and genetically similar to SARS-CoV-2 and accepted as a surrogate for that virus. The Company is also sponsoring a study at Mount Sinai and its Icahn School of Medicine on the effectiveness of Lumicide in patient bathrooms in a New York hospital in the Mount Sinai system. Mount Sinai has agreed to provide the results of their study in a report to be issued in the third quarter of 2022 as well as publishing their results in an academic, peer reviewed journal.

Integrating Our Solutions Through Our SteriLumen App

The SteriLumen application enables IoT connectivity using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other RF technology for continuous transmission of use and functionality data for collection and analysis. The SteriLumen App provides remote asset management and full visibility into the operation of our devices as well as efficacy reporting on the cycles that have run and subsequent cleanliness status. The application also enables Smart Maintenance, with LED cartridge lifecycle alerts, fault detection/reports and other automatic system updates. We expect to launch the SteriLumen App in Q4 2022.

Hospitality Segment

Through our subsidiary, MunnWorks, we manufacture, and supply furniture, custom designed decorative framed mirrors, framed art, and bathroom vanities primarily to the hospitality market. We supply the major hotel brands in North America including hotel chains such as Hilton Hotels & Resorts, the various Hyatt branded hotels, the various Marriott branded hotels, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts and the subsidiary hotel brands for each of these major brands. We have a national sales force and an established distribution network for hotels and restaurants in every major market in the United States and have begun to develop a distribution network for the assisted living market. These distribution networks will also be a significant asset for cross selling and recommending our Airocide and Lumicide products and solutions, as those networks will be utilized for marketing and sales. On March 25, 2022 MunnWorks acquired substantially all of the assets of VisionMark, LLC, which in the business of manufacturing and selling furniture to the hospitality industry. This acquisition will expand our offerings beyond fine mirrors to include furnishings and enable MunnWorks to compete head-to-head in new construction and remodeling in the luxury hospitality market.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

We qualify as an "emerging growth company" as the term is used in The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"), and therefore, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various public company reporting requirements, including:

a requirement to only have two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related selected financial data and management's discussion and analysis;
exemption from the auditor attestation requirement on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting;
reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation; and
exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory stockholder vote on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments.

We may take advantage of these provisions for up to five years or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenues, have more than $700.0 million in market value of our capital stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1.07 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. So long as we remain an emerging growth company, we may choose to take advantage of some, but not all, of the available benefits of the JOBS Act. In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

We have not determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for such purposes. As a result, we will retain broad discretion over the allocation of net proceeds. We would not receive proceeds from sales by our security holders.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS

Selling security holders are persons or entities that, directly or indirectly, have acquired or will from time to time acquire from us, our securities in various private transactions. Such selling security holders may be parties to registration rights agreements with us, or we otherwise may have agreed or will agree to register their securities for sale. Certain holders of our securities, as well as their transferees, pledgees, donees, or successors, all of whom we refer to as "selling security holders," may from time to time offer and sell the securities pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement.

The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the name of each selling security holder and the number of and type of securities beneficially owned by such selling security holder that are covered by such prospectus supplement.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The descriptions of the securities contained in this prospectus, together with the applicable prospectus supplements, summarize the material terms and provisions of the various types of securities that we may offer. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to any securities the particular terms of the securities offered by that prospectus supplement. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, the terms of the securities may differ from the terms we have summarized below. We will also include in the prospectus supplement information, where applicable, about material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the securities, and the securities exchange, if any, on which the securities will be listed.

In this prospectus, we refer to the common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, and warrants to be sold by us collectively as "securities."

If we issue debt securities at a discount from their original stated principal amount, then we will use the issue price, and not the principal amount, of such debt securities for purposes of calculating the total dollar amount of all securities issued under this prospectus.

This prospectus may not be used to consummate a sale of securities unless it is accompanied by a prospectus supplement.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The following summary description of our common stock is based on the provisions of our amended certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"). This information is qualified entirely by reference to the applicable provisions of our amended certificate of incorporation and bylaws. For information on how to obtain copies of our amended certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which are exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, see the sections titled "Where You Can Find Additional Information" and "Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference" in this prospectus.In this section entitled "Description of Securities," references to "we," "us," "our," and "our company" refer only to Applied UV, Inc. and not to its consolidated subsidiaries. Also, in this section, references to "holders" mean those who own warrants or other rights registered in their own names, on the books that we or any applicable trustee or warrant or rights agent maintain for this purpose, and not those who own beneficial interests in securities registered in street name or in warrants issued in book-entry form through one or more depositaries.

Common Stock

Voting Rights

Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, does not provide for cumulative voting for the election of directors, which means that the holders of a majority of the shares voted can elect all of the directors then standing for election. The common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights and is not subject to conversion or redemption. Each outstanding share of common stock offered by this prospectus will, when issued, be fully paid and nonassessable.

Dividends

Holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in any dividends declared by our Board of Directors, subject to any preferential dividend rights of any outstanding preferred stock. We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Preemptive Rights

Holders of common stock do not have any preemptive rights with respect to any shares that we may issue in the future. Thus, we may sell shares of our common stock without first offering them to the then holders of common stock.

Liquidation

In the event of any liquidation or dissolution of our company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of our common stock would be entitled to receive pro rata, after payment of all our debts and liabilities, all of our assets available for distribution, subject to the rights of the holders of any preferred stock which may be issued with a priority in liquidation or dissolution over the holders of common stock.

Listing

Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "AUVI."

Exclusive Forum

Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company to the Company or the Company's stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, or (d) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in each case subject to said Court of Chancery having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein. This exclusive forum provision may limit the ability of our stockholders to bring a claim in a judicial forum that such stockholders find favorable for disputes with us or our directors or officers, which may discourage lawsuits against us or our directors or officers. Our Certificate of Incorporation also provides that this choice of forum provision does not apply to claims arising under federal securities laws.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Statutory Business Combination Provision. Delaware has adopted a "business combination" statute (Section 203 of the DGCL) that may also have additional anti-takeover effects to provisions in our certificate of incorporation, as amended, and by-laws. Section 203 of the DGCL, which, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years following the time that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

the board of directors of the corporation approves either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, prior to the time the interested stockholder attained that status;
upon the closing of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding, for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding, those shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
at or subsequent to such time, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

With certain exceptions, an "interested stockholder" is a person or group who or which owns 15% or more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock (including any rights to acquire stock pursuant to an option, warrant, agreement, arrangement, or understanding, or upon the exercise of conversion or exchange rights, and stock with respect to which the person has voting rights only), or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of such voting stock at any time within the previous three years.

In general, Section 203 defines a business combination to include:

any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;
any sale, transfer, pledge, or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder;
subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;
any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock or any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or
the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges, or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.

A Delaware corporation may "opt out" of this provision with an express provision in its original certificate of incorporation or an express provision in its amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws resulting from a stockholders' amendment approved by at least a majority of the outstanding voting shares. However, we have not "opted out" of this provision. Section 203 could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change-in-control attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire our company.

Size of the Board and Vacancies. Our by-laws provide that the exact number of directors is determined by resolution of the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has the right to fill any vacancies resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, or removal, as well as any newly created directorships arising from an increase in the size of the Board of Directors.

Amendment of Charter Provisions. The affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of our voting stock, voting together as a single class, is required to, among other things, amend, alter, change, or repeal certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation, as amended. Our by-laws may only be amended (or new by-laws adopted) by the Board of Directors or the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of our voting stock represented in person or by proxy at the meeting at which the amendment is voted on.

10

Undesignated Preferred Stock. Following the filing of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, we could issue preferred stock that could have other rights, including economic rights senior to our common stock, so that the issuance of the preferred stock could adversely affect the market value of our common stock. The issuance of the preferred stock may also have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of our company without any action by the stockholders. The effects of issuing preferred stock could include one or more of the following:

restricting dividends on the common stock;
diluting the voting power of the common stock;
impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock; or
discouraging, delaying, or preventing changes in control or management of our company.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is VStock Transfer, LLC.

Series A Preferred Stock

The following is a summary of the material terms of our Series A Preferred Stock.

Ranking. The Series A Preferred Stock, as to dividend rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, ranks: (i) senior to all classes or series of our common stock and to all other equity securities issued by us expressly designated as ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock; (ii) on parity with any future class or series of our equity securities expressly designated as ranking on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock; (iii) junior to all equity securities issued by us with terms specifically providing that those equity securities rank senior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, none of which exists on the date hereof; and (iv) effectively junior to all our existing and future indebtedness (including indebtedness convertible into our common stock or preferred stock) and to the indebtedness and other liabilities of (as well as any preferred equity interests held by others in) our existing or future subsidiaries.

Dividends. Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when and as declared by our Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 10.5% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per year (equivalent to $2.625 per year), payable monthly in arrears on the 15th day of each month. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock accumulate whether or not we are able to pay such dividends under certain of our agreements or even if such dividends are legally restricted or prohibited. We will not pay or declare and set apart for payment any dividends (other than a dividend paid in common stock or other stock ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock) on our common stock or other stock that ranks junior to or on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock unless we also have either paid or declared and set apart for payment full cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods.

In the event we owe accumulated dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock equal to at least twelve full months of dividends (and sufficient cash or securities have not been deposited with a paying agent for the payment of the accumulated dividends), the number of directors constituting our Board of Directors will be increased by the amount of directors (which we refer to as the "New Preferred Directors") that when added to the then current number of directors will constitute a majority of the Board of Directors. The term of the New Preferred Directors will last for so long as we are in arrears on our dividends. The ability of the holders of Preferred Stock to elect the New Preferred Directors will also terminate, subject to reinstatement, once we have a dividend payment date on which we are no longer in arrears on our dividends to the extent described above. We established a segregated account that we pre-funded for the first twelve (12) monthly dividend payments.

Liquidation Preference. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to be paid out of our assets legally available for distribution to our shareholders a liquidation preference of $25.00, plus an amount equal to any accumulated and unpaid dividends to the date of payment, before any distribution or payment may be made to holders of shares of common stock or any other class or series of our equity securities ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock.

Optional Redemption. The Series A Preferred Stock is generally not redeemable prior to July 16, 2022, subject to certain exceptions. On and after July 16, 2022, the first anniversary of July 16, 2021, to but excluding the second anniversary, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to $30.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. On and after July 16, 2023, the second anniversary of July 16, 2021, to but excluding the third anniversary, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to $28.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. On and after July 16, 2024, the third anniversary of July 16, 2021, to but excluding the fourth anniversary, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to $27.00, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. On and after July 16, 2025, the fourth anniversary of July 16, 2021, to but excluding the fifth anniversary, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to $26.00, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. On and after July 16, 2026, the fifth anniversary of July 16, 2021, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.

13

Unless full cumulative dividends on all shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been or contemporaneously is set apart for payment for all past dividend periods, no shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed and we shall not purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any shares of Series A Preferred Stock (except by exchanging it for our capital stock ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation); provided, however, that the we will not be prevented from purchasing or acquiring shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock.

Special Optional Redemption and Conversion. If the Series A Preferred Stock is no longer listed on Nasdaq or another national exchange and we are no longer subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act or if a change of control of the Company occurs, we may, at our option (i) redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends or (ii) convert some or all of the Series A Preferred Stock into a number of shares of our common stock based on a formula contained in the Series A Preferred Stock certificate of designations.

Limited Voting Rights. The holders of our Series A Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights, except on matters that materially and adversely affect the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Super Voting Preferred Stock

The following is a summary of the material terms of our Super Voting Preferred Stock

Warrants

As of March 31, 2022, warrants to purchase approximately 192,419 shares of our common stock with a weighted average exercise price per share of $5.84 were outstanding.

The following description of warrants does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the description of a particular series of warrants contained in an applicable prospectus supplement. For information relating to our capital stock, see "Description of Securities-Common Stock," and "Description of Securuties-Preferred Stock."

We may offer by means of this prospectus warrants for the purchase of our common stock or preferred stock. We may issue warrants separately or together with any other securities offered by means of this prospectus, and the warrants may be attached to or separate from such securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a warrant agent specified therein. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants of such series and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders or beneficial owners of warrants.

Agreements

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, the following provisions will apply to any warrants we issue pursuant to this prospectus. Each series of warrants may be evidenced by certificates and may be issued under a separate indenture, agreement, or other instrument to be entered into between us and a bank that we select as agent with respect to such series. The agent, if any, will have its principal office in the United States and have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. Warrants in book-entry form will be represented by a global security registered in the name of a depositary, which will be the holder of all the securities represented by the global security. Those who own beneficial interests in a global security will do so through participants in the depositary's system, and the rights of these indirect owners will be governed solely by the applicable procedures of the depositary and its participants.

14

the designation, amount, and terms of the securities purchasable upon exercise of the warrants;
the designation and terms of the other securities with which the warrants are issued and the number of warrants issued with each such security or each principal amount of security;
if applicable, the date on and after which the warrants and any related securities will be separately transferable;
any securities exchange or quotation system on which the warrants or any securities deliverable upon exercise of such securities may be listed;
the price or prices at which and currency or currencies in which the securities purchasable upon exercise of the warrants may be purchased;

Exercise of Warrants

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, the following provisions will apply to any warrants we issue pursuant to this prospectus. If any warrant is exercisable for other securities or other property, the following provisions will apply. Each such warrant may be exercised at any time up to any expiration date and time mentioned in the prospectus supplement relating to those warrants. After the close of business on any applicable expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.

15

Warrants may be exercised by delivery of the certificate representing the securities to be exercised, or in the case of global securities by delivery of an exercise notice for those warrants, together with certain information, and payment to any agent in immediately available funds, as provided in the prospectus supplement, of the required purchase amount, if any. Upon receipt of payment and the certificate or exercise notice properly executed at the office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, in the time period the relevant agreement provides, issue and deliver the securities or other property purchasable upon such exercise. If fewer than all of the warrants represented by such certificates are exercised, a new certificate will be issued for the remaining amount of warrants.

If mentioned in the prospectus supplement, securities may be surrendered as all or part of the exercise price for warrants.

Antidilution Provisions

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, the following provisions will apply to any warrants we issue pursuant to this prospectus. In the case of warrants to purchase common stock, the exercise price payable and the number of shares of common stock purchasable upon warrant exercise may be adjusted in certain events, including:

the issuance of a stock dividend to common stockholders or a combination, subdivision, or reclassification of common stock;
the issuance of rights, warrants, or options to all common and preferred stockholders entitling them to purchase common stock for an aggregate consideration per share less than the current market price per share of common stock;
any distribution to our common stockholders of evidences of our indebtedness of assets, excluding cash dividends or distributions referred to above; and
any other events mentioned in the prospectus supplement.

The prospectus supplement will describe which, if any, of these provisions shall apply to a particular series of warrants. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, no adjustment in the number of shares purchasable upon warrant exercise will be required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment of at least 1% of such number and no fractional shares will be issued upon warrant exercise, but we will pay the cash value of any fractional shares otherwise issuable.

Modification

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, the following provisions will apply to any warrants we issue pursuant to this prospectus. We and any agent for any series of warrants may amend any warrant or rights agreement and the terms of the related warrants by executing a supplemental agreement, without any such warrant holders' consent, for the purpose of:

curing any ambiguity, any defective or inconsistent provision contained in the agreement, or making any other corrections to the agreement that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the warrant certificates;
evidencing the succession of another corporation to us and its assumption of our covenants contained in the agreement and the securities;
appointing a successor depository, if the securities are issued in the form of global securities;
evidencing a successor agent's acceptance of appointment with respect to any securities;
adding to our covenants for the benefit of securityholders or surrendering any right or power we have under the agreement;
issuing warrants in definitive form, if such securities are initially issued in the form of global securities; or
amending the agreement and the warrants as we deem necessary or desirable and that will not adversely affect the interests of the applicable warrant holders in any material respect.
16

We and any agent for any series of warrants may also amend any agreement and the related warrants by a supplemental agreement with the consent of the holders of a majority of the warrants of any series affected by such amendment, for the purpose of adding, modifying, or eliminating any of the agreement's provisions or of modifying the rights of the holders of warrants. However, no such amendment that:

reduces the number or amount of securities receivable upon any exercise of any such security;
shortens the time period during which any such security may be exercised;
otherwise adversely affects the exercise rights of warrant holders in any material respect; or
reduces the number of securities the consent of holders of which is required for amending the agreement or the related warrants;

may be made without the consent of each holder affected by that amendment.

Consolidation, Merger, and Sale of Assets

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, the following provisions will apply to any warrants we issue pursuant to this prospectus. Any agreement with respect to warrants will provide that we are generally permitted to merge or consolidate with another corporation or other entity. Any such agreement will also provide that we are permitted to sell our assets substantially as an entirety to another corporation or other entity or to have another entity sell its assets substantially as an entirety to us. With regard to any series of warrants, however, we may not take any of these actions unless all of the following conditions are met:

if we are not the successor entity, the person formed by the consolidation or into or with which we merge or the person to which our properties and assets are conveyed, transferred, or leased must be an entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any state, or the District of Columbia and must expressly assume the performance of our covenants under any relevant indenture, agreement, or other instrument; and
we or that successor corporation must not immediately be in default under that agreement.

Enforcement by Holders of Warrants

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, the following provisions will apply to any warrants we issue pursuant to this prospectus. Any agent for any series of warrants will act solely as our agent under the relevant agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for any securityholder. A single bank or trust company may act as agent for more than one issue of securities. Any such agent will have no duty or responsibility in case we default in performing our obligations under the relevant agreement or warrant, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any legal proceedings or to make any demand upon us. Any securityholder may, without the agent's consent or consent of any other securityholder, enforce by appropriate legal action its right to exercise any warrant exercisable for any property.

Replacement of Certificates

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, the following provisions will apply to any warrants we issue pursuant to this prospectus. We will replace any destroyed, lost, stolen, or mutilated warrant or rights certificate upon delivery to us and any applicable agent of satisfactory evidence of the ownership of that certificate and of its destruction, loss, theft or mutilation, and (in the case of mutilation) surrender of that certificate to us or any applicable agent, unless we have, or the agent has, received notice that the certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser. That securityholder will also be required to provide indemnity satisfactory to us and the relevant agent before a replacement certificate will be issued.

17

Title

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, the following provisions will apply to any warrants we issue pursuant to this prospectus. We, any agents for any series of warrants, and any of their agents may treat the registered holder of any certificate as the absolute owner of the securities evidenced by that certificate for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights attaching to the warrants so requested, despite any notice to the contrary.

Debt Securities

Any debt securities we may issue, offered by this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement, will be issued under an indenture to be entered into between our company and the trustee identified in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of the debt securities will include those stated in the indenture and those made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in effect on the date of the indenture. We have filed a copy of the form of indenture as an exhibit to the registration statement in which this prospectus is included. The indenture will be subject to and governed by the terms of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will represent direct, unsecured obligations of our company and will rank equally with all of our other unsecured indebtedness.

The following statements relating to the debt securities and the indenture are summaries, qualified in their entirety to the detailed provisions of the indenture.

General

We may issue the debt securities in one or more series with the same or various maturities, at par, at a premium, or at a discount. We will describe the particular terms of each series of debt securities in a prospectus supplement relating to that series, which we will file with the SEC.

The prospectus supplement will set forth, to the extent required, the following terms of the debt securities in respect of which the prospectus supplement is delivered:

the title of the series;
the aggregate principal amount;
the issue price or prices, expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities;
any limit on the aggregate principal amount;
the date or dates on which principal is payable;
the interest rate or rates (which may be fixed or variable) or, if applicable, the method used to determine such rate or rates;
the date or dates from which interest, if any, will be payable and any regular record date for the interest payable;
the place or places where principal and, if applicable, premium and interest, is payable;
the terms and conditions upon which we may, or the holders may require us to, redeem or repurchase the debt securities;
the denominations in which such debt securities may be issuable, if other than denominations of $1,000, or any integral multiple of that number;
whether the debt securities are to be issuable in the form of certificated debt securities (as described below) or global debt securities (as described below);
the portion of principal amount that will be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity date if other than the principal amount of the debt securities;
the currency of denomination;
the designation of the currency, currencies, or currency units in which payment of principal and, if applicable, premium and interest, will be made;
if payments of principal and, if applicable, premium or interest, on the debt securities are to be made in one or more currencies or currency units other than the currency of denomination, the manner in which the exchange rate with respect to such payments will be determined;
if amounts of principal and, if applicable, premium and interest may be determined by reference to an index based on a currency or currencies, or by reference to a commodity, commodity index, stock exchange index, or financial index, then the manner in which such amounts will be determined;
the provisions, if any, relating to any collateral provided for such debt securities;
any addition to or change in the covenants and/or the acceleration provisions described in this prospectus or in the indenture;
any events of default, if not otherwise described below under "Events of Default";
the terms and conditions, if any, for conversion into or exchange for shares of common stock or preferred stock;
any depositaries, interest rate calculation agents, exchange rate calculation agents, or other agents; and
the terms and conditions, if any, upon which the debt securities shall be subordinated in right of payment to other indebtedness of our company.
18

We may issue discount debt securities that provide for an amount less than the stated principal amount to be due and payable upon acceleration of the maturity of such debt securities in accordance with the terms of the indenture. We may also issue debt securities in bearer form, with or without coupons. If we issue discount debt securities or debt securities in bearer form, we will describe material U.S. federal income tax considerations and other material special considerations which apply to these debt securities in the applicable prospectus supplement.

We may issue debt securities denominated in or payable in a foreign currency or currencies or a foreign currency unit or units. If we do, we will describe the restrictions, elections, and general tax considerations relating to the debt securities and the foreign currency or currencies or foreign currency unit or units in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Exchange and/or Conversion Rights

We may issue debt securities that can be exchanged for or converted into shares of common stock or preferred stock. If we do, we will describe the terms of exchange or conversion in the prospectus supplement relating to these debt securities.

Transfer and Exchange

We may issue debt securities that will be represented by either:

"book-entry securities," which means that there will be one or more global securities registered in the name of a depositary or a nominee of a depositary; or
"certificated securities," which means that they will be represented by a certificate issued in definitive registered form.

We will specify in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular offering whether the debt securities offered will be book-entry or certificated securities.

Certificated Debt Securities

Those who hold certificated debt securities may transfer or exchange such debt securities at the trustee's office or at the paying agent's office or agency in accordance with the terms of the indenture. There will be no service charge for any transfer or exchange of certificated debt securities, but there may be a requirement to pay an amount sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with such transfer or exchange.

Those who hold certificated debt securities may effect the transfer of certificated debt securities and of the right to receive the principal of, premium, and/or interest, if any, on the certificated debt securities only by surrendering the certificate representing the certificated debt securities and having us or the trustee issue a new certificate to the new holder.

Global Securities

If we decide to issue debt securities in the form of one or more global securities, then we will register the global securities in the name of the depositary for the global securities or the nominee of the depositary, and the global securities will be delivered by the trustee to the depositary for credit to the accounts of the holders of beneficial interests in the debt securities.

The prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of the depositary arrangement for debt securities of a series that are issued in global form. None of us, the trustee, any payment agent, or the security registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a global debt security or for maintaining, supervising, or reviewing any records relating to these beneficial ownership interests.

No Protection in the Event of Change of Control

The indenture does not have any covenants or other provisions providing for a put or increased interest or otherwise that would afford holders of debt securities additional protection in the event of a recapitalization transaction, a change of control of our company, or a highly leveraged transaction. If we offer any covenants or provisions of this type with respect to any debt securities covered by this prospectus, we will describe them in the applicable prospectus supplement.

19

Covenants

Unless otherwise indicated in this prospectus or a prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not have the benefit of any covenants that limit or restrict our business or operations, the pledging of our assets, or the incurrence by us of indebtedness. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement any material covenants in respect of a series of debt securities.

Consolidation, Merger, and Sale of Assets

We will agree in the indenture that we will not consolidate with or merge into any other person, or convey, transfer, sell, or lease our properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any person, unless:

the person formed by the consolidation or into or with which we are merged or the person to which our properties and assets are conveyed, transferred, sold, or leased, is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any state, or the District of Columbia, or a corporation or comparable legal entity organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction and, if we are not the surviving person, the surviving person has expressly assumed all of our obligations, including the payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities and the performance of the other covenants under the indenture; and
immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no event of default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an event of default, has occurred and is continuing under the indenture.

Events of Default

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the following events will be events of default under the indenture with respect to debt securities of any series:

we fail to pay any principal or premium, if any, when it becomes due and such default is not cured within 5 business days;
we fail to pay any interest within 30 days after it becomes due;
we fail to comply with any other covenant in the debt securities or the indenture for 60 days after written notice specifying the failure from the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series; and
certain events involving bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of our company or any of our significant subsidiaries.

The trustee may withhold notice to the holders of the debt securities of any series of any default, except in payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the debt securities of a series, if the trustee considers it to be in the best interest of the holders of the debt securities of that series to do so.

20

If an event of default (other than an event of default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization) occurs, and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may accelerate the maturity of the debt securities. If this happens, the entire principal amount, plus the premium, if any, of all the outstanding debt securities of the affected series plus accrued interest to the date of acceleration will be immediately due and payable. At any time after the acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on such acceleration is obtained by the trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding debt securities of such series may rescind and annul such acceleration if:

all events of default (other than nonpayment of accelerated principal, premium, or interest) have been cured or waived;
all lawful interest on overdue interest and overdue principal has been paid; and
the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree.

In addition, if the acceleration occurs at any time when we have outstanding indebtedness which is senior to the debt securities, the payment of the principal amount of outstanding debt securities may be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment of any amounts due under the senior indebtedness, in which case the holders of debt securities will be entitled to payment under the terms prescribed in the instruments evidencing the senior indebtedness and the indenture.

If an event of default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization occurs, the principal, premium, and interest amount with respect to all of the debt securities of any series will be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or the holders of the debt securities of that series.

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of a series will have the right to waive any existing default or compliance with any provision of the indenture or the debt securities of that series and to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, subject to certain limitations specified in the indenture.

No holder of any debt security of a series will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the indenture or for any remedy under the indenture, unless:

the holder gives to the trustee written notice of a continuing event of default;
the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the affected series make a written request and offer reasonable indemnity to the trustee to institute a proceeding as trustee;
the trustee fails to institute a proceeding within 60 days after such request; and
the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the affected series do not give the trustee a direction inconsistent with such request during such 60-day period.

These limitations do not, however, apply to a suit instituted for payment on debt securities of any series on or after the due dates expressed in the debt securities.

Modification and Waiver

From time to time, we and the trustee may, without the consent of holders of the debt securities of one or more series, amend the indenture or the debt securities of one or more series, or supplement the indenture, for certain specified purposes, including:

to provide that the surviving entity following a change of control of our company permitted under the indenture will assume all of our obligations under the indenture and debt securities;
to provide for certificated debt securities in addition to uncertificated debt securities;
to comply with any requirements of the SEC under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939;
to cure any ambiguity, defect, or inconsistency, or make any other change that does not materially and adversely affect the rights of any holder; and
to appoint a successor trustee under the indenture with respect to one or more series.
21

From time to time, we and the trustee may, with the consent of holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities, amend or supplement the indenture or the debt securities, or waive compliance in a particular instance by us with any provision of the indenture or the debt securities. We may not, however, without the consent of each holder affected by such action, modify or supplement the indenture or the debt securities, or waive compliance with any provision of the indenture or the debt securities in order to:

reduce the amount of debt securities whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement, or waiver to the indenture or such debt security;
reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest;
reduce the principal of or change the stated maturity of the debt securities;
make any debt security payable in money other than that stated in the debt security;
change the amount or time of any payment required, or reduce the premium payable upon any redemption, or change the time before which no such redemption may be made;
waive a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the debt securities or a redemption payment; or
take any other action otherwise prohibited by the indenture to be taken without the consent of each holder affected by the action.

Defeasance of Debt Securities and Certain Covenants in Certain Circumstances

The indenture will permit us, at any time, to elect to discharge our obligations with respect to one or more series of debt securities by following certain procedures described in the indenture. These procedures will allow us either:

to defease and be discharged from any and all of our obligations with respect to any debt securities except for the following obligations (which discharge is referred to as "legal defeasance"):

(1) to register the transfer or exchange of such debt securities;

(2) to replace temporary or mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen debt securities;

(3) to compensate and indemnify the trustee; or

(4) to maintain an office or agency in respect of the debt securities and to hold monies for payment in trust; or

to be released from our obligations with respect to the debt securities under certain covenants contained in the indenture, as well as any additional covenants which may be contained in the applicable supplemental indenture (which release is referred to as "covenant defeasance").
22

In order to exercise either defeasance option, we must deposit with the trustee or other qualifying trustee, in trust for that purpose:

money;
U.S. Government Obligations (as described below) or Foreign Government Obligations (as described below), which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in accordance with their terms will provide money; or
a combination of money and/or U.S. Government Obligations and/or Foreign Government Obligations sufficient in the written opinion of a nationally-recognized firm of independent accountants to provide money;

which in each case specified above, provides a sufficient amount to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the debt securities of the series, on the scheduled due dates, or on a selected date of redemption in accordance with the terms of the indenture.

In addition, defeasance may be effected only if, among other things:

in the case of either legal or covenant defeasance, we deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel, as specified in the indenture, stating that as a result of the defeasance neither the trust nor the trustee will be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940;
in the case of legal defeasance, we deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel stating that we have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling to the effect that, or there has been a change in any applicable federal income tax law with the effect that (and the opinion shall confirm that), the holders of outstanding debt securities will not recognize income, gain, or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes solely as a result of such legal defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner, including as a result of prepayment, and at the same times as would have been the case if legal defeasance had not occurred;
in the case of covenant defeasance, we deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of the outstanding debt securities will not recognize income, gain, or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of covenant defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner, and at the same times as would have been the case if covenant defeasance had not occurred; and
certain other conditions described in the indenture are satisfied.

If we fail to comply with our remaining obligations under the indenture and applicable supplemental indenture after a covenant defeasance of the indenture and applicable supplemental indenture, and the debt securities are declared due and payable because of the occurrence of any undefeased event of default, the amount of money and/or U.S. Government Obligations and/or Foreign Government Obligations on deposit with the trustee could be insufficient to pay amounts due under the debt securities of the affected series at the time of acceleration. We will, however, remain liable in respect of these payments.

The term "U.S. Government Obligations" as used in the above discussion means securities that are direct obligations of or non-callable obligations guaranteed by the United States of America for the payment of which obligation or guarantee the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged.

The term "Foreign Government Obligations" as used in the above discussion means, with respect to debt securities of any series that are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars (1) direct obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency for the payment of which obligations its full faith and credit is pledged or (2) obligations of a person controlled or supervised by or acting as an agent or instrumentality of such government the timely payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by that government, which in either case under clauses (1) or (2), are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer.

23

Regarding the Trustee

We will identify the trustee with respect to any series of debt securities in the prospectus supplement relating to the applicable debt securities. You should note that if the trustee becomes a creditor of our company, the indenture and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 limit the rights of the trustee to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim, as security or otherwise. The trustee and its affiliates may engage in, and will be permitted to continue to engage in, other transactions with us and our affiliates. If, however, the trustee acquires any "conflicting interest" within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, it must eliminate such conflict or resign.

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of any series may direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the trustee. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the trustee, in the exercise of its rights and powers, must use the degree of care and skill of a prudent person in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Subject to that provision, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any of the holders of the debt securities, unless they have offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity or security.

Rights

General

We may issue rights to our stockholders to purchase shares of our common stock, preferred stock or the other securities described in this prospectus. We may offer rights separately or together with one or more additional rights, debt securities, preferred stock, common stock or warrants, or any combination of those securities in the form of units, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as rights agent. The rights agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the certificates relating to the rights of the series of certificates and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of rights certificates or beneficial owners of rights. The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the rights to which any prospectus supplement may relate. The particular terms of the rights to which any prospectus supplement may relate and the extent, if any, to which the general provisions may apply to the rights so offered will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. To the extent that any particular terms of the rights, rights agreement or rights certificates described in a prospectus supplement differ from any of the terms described below, then the terms described below will be deemed to have been superseded by that prospectus supplement. We encourage you to read the applicable rights agreement and rights certificate for additional information before you decide whether to purchase any of our rights. We will provide in a prospectus supplement the following terms of the rights being issued:

the date of determining the stockholders entitled to the rights distribution;
the aggregate number of shares of common stock, preferred stock or other securities purchasable upon exercise of the rights;
the exercise price;
the aggregate number of rights issued;
whether the rights are transferrable and the date, if any, on and after which the rights may be separately transferred;
the date on which the right to exercise the rights will commence, and the date on which the right to exercise the rights will expire;
the method by which holders of rights will be entitled to exercise;
the conditions to the completion of the offering, if any;
the withdrawal, termination and cancellation rights, if any;
whether there are any backstop or standby purchaser or purchasers and the terms of their commitment, if any;
whether stockholders are entitled to oversubscription rights, if any;
any applicable material United States federal income tax considerations; and
any other terms of the rights, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the distribution, exchange and exercise of the rights, as applicable.
24

Each right will entitle the holder of rights to purchase for cash the principal amount of shares of common stock, preferred stock or other securities at the exercise price provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. Rights may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date for the rights provided in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Holders may exercise rights as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Upon receipt of payment and the rights certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the rights agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, forward the shares of common stock, preferred stock or other securities, as applicable, purchasable upon exercise of the rights. If less than all of the rights issued in any rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed securities directly to persons other than stockholders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby arrangements, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Rights Agent

The rights agent for any rights we offer will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Units

This section outlines some of the provisions of the units and the unit agreements that we may enter into. This information may not be complete in all respects and is qualified entirely by reference to the unit agreement with respect to the units of any particular series. The specific terms of any series of units will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. If so described in a particular supplement, the specific terms of any series of units may differ from the general description of terms presented below.

We may issue units comprised of one or more debt securities, shares of common stock, shares of preferred stock, and warrants in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.

The applicable prospectus supplement may describe:

the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;
any provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described below; and
any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer, or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units.

The provisions described in this section, as well as those described under "Description of Common Stock," "Description of Preferred Stock," "Description of Warrants," and "Description of Debt Securities" will apply to the securities included in each unit, to the extent relevant.

25

Issuance in Series

We may issue units in such amounts and in as many distinct series as we wish. This section summarizes terms of the units that apply generally to all series. Most of the financial and other specific terms of your series will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Unit Agreements

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, the following provisions will apply to any units we issue pursuant to this prospectus. We will issue the units under one or more unit agreements to be entered into between us and a bank or other financial institution, as unit agent. We may add, replace, or terminate unit agents from time to time. We will identify the unit agreement under which each series of units will be issued and the unit agent under that agreement in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The following provisions will generally apply to all unit agreements unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Enforcement of Rights

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, the following provisions will apply to any units we issue pursuant to this prospectus. The unit agent under a unit agreement will act solely as our agent in connection with the units issued under that agreement. The unit agent will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of those units or of the securities comprising those units. The unit agent will not be obligated to take any action on behalf of those holders to enforce or protect their rights under the units or the included securities.

Except as indicated in the next paragraph, a holder of a unit may, without the consent of the unit agent or any other holder, enforce its rights as holder under any security included in the unit, in accordance with the terms of that security and the indenture, warrant agreement, rights agreement or other instrument under which that security is issued. Those terms are described elsewhere in this prospectus under the sections relating to debt securities, preferred stock, common stock, or warrants, as relevant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a unit agreement may limit or otherwise affect the ability of a holder of units issued under that agreement to enforce its rights, including any right to bring a legal action, with respect to those units or any securities, other than debt securities, that are included in those units. Limitations of this kind will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

26

Modification without Consent of Holders. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, the following provisions will apply to any units we issue pursuant to this prospectus. We and the applicable unit agent may amend any unit or unit agreement without the consent of any holder:

to cure any ambiguity;
to correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision; or
to make any other change that we believe is necessary or desirable and will not adversely affect the interests of the affected holders in any material respect.

We do not need any approval to make changes that affect only units to be issued after the changes take effect. We may also make changes that do not adversely affect a particular unit in any material respect, even if they adversely affect other units in a material respect. In those cases, we do not need to obtain the approval of the holder of the unaffected unit; we need only obtain any required approvals from the holders of the affected units.

Modification with Consent of Holders. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, the following provisions will apply to any units we issue pursuant to this prospectus. We may not amend any particular unit or a unit agreement with respect to any particular unit unless we obtain the consent of the holder of that unit, if the amendment would:

impair any right of the holder to exercise or enforce any right under a security included in the unit if the terms of that security require the consent of the holder to any changes that would impair the exercise or enforcement of that right; or
reduce the percentage of outstanding units or any series or class the consent of whose holders is required to amend that series or class, or the applicable unit agreement with respect to that series or class, as described below.

Any other change to a particular unit agreement and the units issued under that agreement would require the following approval:

if the change affects only the units of a particular series issued under that agreement, the change must be approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding units of that series; or
if the change affects the units of more than one series issued under that agreement, it must be approved by the holders of a majority of all outstanding units of all series affected by the change, with the units of all the affected series voting together as one class for this purpose.

These provisions regarding changes with majority approval also apply to changes affecting any securities issued under a unit agreement, as the governing document.

In each case, the required approval must be given by written consent.

Unit Agreements Will Not Be Qualified Under Trust Indenture Act. No unit agreement will be qualified as an indenture, and no unit agent will be required to qualify as a trustee, under the Trust Indenture Act. Therefore, holders of units issued under unit agreements will not have the protections of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to their units.

Mergers and Similar Transactions Permitted; No Restrictive Covenants or Events of Default

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, the following provisions will apply to any units we issue pursuant to this prospectus. The unit agreements will not restrict our ability to merge or consolidate with, or sell our assets to, another corporation or other entity or to engage in any other transactions. If at any time we merge or consolidate with, or sell our assets substantially as an entirety to, another corporation or other entity, the successor entity will succeed to and assume our obligations under the unit agreements. We will then be relieved of any further obligation under these agreements.

The unit agreements will not include any restrictions on our ability to put liens on our assets, including our interests in our subsidiaries, nor will they restrict our ability to sell our assets. The unit agreements also will not provide for any events of default or remedies upon the occurrence of any events of default.

Governing Law

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, the following provisions will apply to any units we issue pursuant to this prospectus. The unit agreements and the units will be governed by Delaware or New York law as decided by the Company at the time of issuance.

27

Form, Exchange, and Transfer

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, the following provisions will apply to any units we issue pursuant to this prospectus. We will issue each unit in global-that is, book-entry-form only. Units in book-entry form will be represented by a global security registered in the name of a depositary, which will be the holder of all the units represented by the global security. Those who own beneficial interests in a unit will do so through participants in the depositary's system, and the rights of these indirect owners will be governed solely by the applicable procedures of the depositary and its participants.

In addition, we will issue each unit in registered form, unless we say otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement. Bearer securities would be subject to special provisions, as we describe below under "Securities Issued in Bearer Form."

Each unit and all securities comprising the unit will be issued in the same form.

If we issue any units in registered, non-global form, the following will apply to them.

The units will be issued in the denominations stated in the applicable prospectus supplement. Holders may exchange their units for units of smaller denominations or combined into fewer units of larger denominations, as long as the total amount is not changed.

Holders may exchange or transfer their units at the office of the unit agent. Holders may also replace lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated units at that office. We may appoint another entity to perform these functions or perform them ourselves.
Holders will not be required to pay a service charge to transfer or exchange their units, but they may be required to pay for any tax or other governmental charge associated with the transfer or exchange. The transfer or exchange, and any replacement, will be made only if our transfer agent is satisfied with the holder's proof of legal ownership. The transfer agent may also require an indemnity before replacing any units.
If we have the right to redeem, accelerate, or settle any units before their maturity, and we exercise our right as to less than all those units or other securities, we may block the exchange or transfer of those units during the period beginning 15 days before the day we mail the notice of exercise and ending on the day of that mailing, in order to freeze the list of holders to prepare the mailing. We may also refuse to register transfers of or exchange any unit selected for early settlement, except that we will continue to permit transfers and exchanges of the unsettled portion of any unit being partially settled. We may also block the transfer or exchange of any unit in this manner if the unit includes securities that are or may be selected for early settlement.

Only the depositary will be entitled to transfer or exchange a unit in global form, since it will be the sole holder of the unit.

Payments and Notices

In making payments and giving notices with respect to our units, we will follow the procedures we plan to use with respect to our debt securities, where applicable.

28

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We and any selling security holders may sell the securities covered by this prospectus directly to purchasers or through underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions, or commissions from us. These discounts, concessions, or commissions as to any particular underwriter, broker-dealer, or agent may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved. In addition, we may issue the securities as a dividend or distribution or in a subscription rights offering to our existing security holders.

The securities may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions which may involve crosses or block transactions.

If underwriters are used in an offering of securities, such offered securities may be resold in one or more transactions:

on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the common stock or the preferred stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, including, as of the date of this prospectus, the Nasdaq Capital Market in the case of the common stock;
in the over-the-counter market;
in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or services or in the over-the-counter market; or
through the writing of options, whether the options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise.

Each prospectus supplement will state the terms of the offering, including, but not limited to:

the names of any underwriters, dealers, or agents;
the public offering or purchase price of the securities and the net proceeds that we will receive from the sale;
any underwriting discounts and commissions or other items constituting underwriters' compensation;
any discounts, commissions, or fees allowed or paid to dealers or agents; and
any securities exchange on which the offered securities may be listed.

If we sell securities to underwriters, we will execute an underwriting agreement with them at the time of the sale and will name them in the applicable prospectus supplement. In connection with these sales, the underwriters may be deemed to have received compensation in the form of underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters also may receive commissions from purchasers of securities for whom they may act as agent. Unless we specify otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the underwriters will not be obligated to purchase the securities unless the conditions set forth in the underwriting agreement are satisfied, and if the underwriters purchase any of the securities offered by such prospectus supplement, they will be required to purchase all of such offered securities. The underwriters may acquire the securities for their own account and may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or varying prices determined at the time of sale. The underwriters may sell the securities to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive discounts, concessions, or commissions from the underwriters as well as from the purchasers for whom they may act as agent.

We may designate agents who agree to use their reasonable efforts to solicit purchasers for the period of their appointment or to sell securities on a continuing basis. We may also sell securities directly to one or more purchasers without using underwriters or agents.

Under agreements entered into with us, underwriters and agents may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution for payments the underwriters or agents may be required to make. The underwriters, agents, and their affiliates may engage in financial or other business transactions with us and our subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business.

29

The aggregate proceeds to us from the sale of the securities will be the purchase price of the securities less discounts and commissions, if any.

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, any securities covered by this prospectus must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

In order to facilitate the offering of the securities, any underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain, or otherwise affect the price of the securities or any other securities the prices of which may be used to determine payments on such securities. Specifically, any underwriters may overallot in connection with the offering, creating a short position for their own accounts. In addition, to cover overallotments or to stabilize the price of the securities or of any such other securities, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, the securities or any such other securities in the open market. Finally, in any offering of the securities through a syndicate of underwriters, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allowed to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing the securities in the offering if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed securities in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in stabilization transactions, or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities above independent market levels. Any such underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time.

The applicable prospectus supplement may provide that the original issue date for your securities may be more than three scheduled business days after the trade date for your securities. Accordingly, in such a case, if you wish to trade securities on any date prior to the third business day before the original issue date for your securities, you will be required, by virtue of the fact that your securities initially are expected to settle in more than three scheduled business days after the trade date for your securities, to make alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

The securities may be new issues of securities and may have no established trading market. The securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. We can make no assurance as to the liquidity of or the existence of trading markets for any of the securities.

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock 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.

To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.

Common Stock

We have entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement ("ATM Sales Agreement") with Maxim Group LLC (the "Sales Agent") dated July 1, 2022, pursuant to which we may, from time to time, issue and sell the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus from time to time through or to the Sales Agent, acting as our agent or principal.

An At-the-Market ("ATM") program will allow us to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock in open market transactions at our discretion. Unlike in underwritten public offerings, sales under ATM programs are not marketed, they are made at prevailing market prices, and they are generally less dilutive to stockholders than marketed offerings that generate the same net proceeds because (i) they are typically less expensive to transact than marketed offerings and (ii) they can be executed without a discount to the prevailing market price of the stock that is typical in marketed offerings. Our Board of Directors has concluded that, at this time, it is in our best interest to have an ATM program available and to be used at our discretion for capital raising, since it enables us to determine the timing, quantity, and pricing of sales. Under the ATM Sales Agreement, we are not obligated to sell any shares, but we may issue and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $50,000,000 through the Sales Agent.

Our common stock trades on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "AUVI." The last reported sale price of our common stock on Nasdaq on June 30, 2022 was $2.27 per share.

Shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus may be sold by any method deemed to be an "at the market offering" as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). When they receive a sale order from us, the Sales Agents have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with normal trading and sales practices to execute the order on mutually agreed terms. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in any escrow, trust, or similar arrangement.

The compensation payable to the Sales Agent for sales of common stock sold pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement will be 3% of the gross proceeds of the sales price of common stock sold. We anticipate no other commissions or material expenses for sales under the ATM Sales Agreement. The orders will be executed at price limits imposed by us.

Even though this prospectus does not relate to a marketed offering of our common stock, in connection with the sale of common stock under the ATM Sales Agreement, the Sales Agents will each be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation of the Sales Agent will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to indemnify the Sales Agent against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. See the section titled "Plan of Distribution" on page 50 of this prospectus.

34

Currently, we are an "emerging growth company" as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and are subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. Please read "Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company."

You should read carefully and consider the "Risk Factors" referenced on page 45 of this prospectus and the risk factors described in other documents incorporated by reference herein.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Overview

Applied UV is focused on the development, acquisition and commercialization of technology that address air purification and infection control in the cannabis, food preservation, winery, healthcare, hospitality, schools, correctional facilities, dental and long-term care, dairy, and consumer markets. The Company offers science-based solutions and products in air purification under the Airocide and Scientific Air Management brand and label and disinfection of hard surfaces under the Lumicide brand and label. MunnWorks, our subsidiary focuses on the hospitality market, manufactures and supplies furniture, fine decorative framed mirrors, framed art, and vanities. MunnWorks provides us cross-selling opportunities for our Airocide and Lumicide products. Applied UV is a holding company. Our current operating companies are SteriLumen and MunnWorks.

Air Purification Solutions: Airocide Air Purification

On February 8, 2021 we acquired substantially all of the assets of Akida Holdings LLC ("Akida"), which owned the Airocide™ system of air purification technologies for $7.88 million, consisting of $0.76 million in cash and 1.375 million shares of our Common Stock (the "Acquisition") with a fair market value of $7.12 million. Prior to the Acquisition, Akida granted KES Science & Technology, Inc. ("KES") a non-exclusive irrevocable royalty free license (the "KES License") to manufacture and sell products based on Airocide™ technology in the United States and Canada for use in the commercial food preservation and preparation market, and the cannabis/hemp market. KES also manufactures, distributes and provides technical support for our Airocide™ products pursuant to certain service agreements (the "KES Service Agreements"). At the closing of the KES Acquisition, the KES Service Agreements were assigned to us and we assumed all of the obligations under the KES Service Agreements.

On September 28, 2021, we acquired substantially all of the assets of KES, including the assignment of contracts related to the supply chain management and sale of the Airocide™ system of air purification technologies, for $4.3 million in cash and 300,000 shares of our common stock with a fair market value of $1,959,000 (the "KES Acquisition"). The KES Acquisition along with the Acquisition provides us with all of the rights, title and interest to the Airocide™ system of air purification technologies, including all of the rights KES had under the KES Service Agreements.

The Airocide™ system of air purification technologies, originally developed for the National Aeronatuics and Space Administration ("NASA") with assistance from the University of Wisconsin at Madison, uses a combination of UVC and a proprietary, titanium dioxide based photocatalyst to eliminate airborne bacteria, mold, fungi, viruses, volatile organic compounds and many odors. We believe Airocide™ can provide solutions to accelerate the reopening of the global economy with applications in the hospitality, hotel, healthcare, nursing homes, grocer, wine, commercial buildings and retail sectors. The Airocide™ system has been used by brands such as DelMonte, Kroger, Opus One, and in March 2021 the Boston Red Sox agreed with SteriLumen to install an Airocide™ system at Fenway Park and JetBlue Park.

The core Airocide™ technology has been in use on the International Space Station and is based on photo-catalytic oxidation (PCO), a bioconversion process that continuously converts damaging molds, microorganisms, dangerous pathogens, destructive volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) and biological gasses into harmless water vapor.

Unlike other air purification systems that provide "active" air cleaning, ozone producing systems, ionization or "photo-electrochemical oxidation", Airocide's nanocoating technology permanently bonds titanium dioxide to the surface of the catalytic bed. This permits the perpetual generation of surface-bound (OH-) radicals over the large surface area created by their advanced geometric design and prevents the generation and release of ozone and other harmful byproducts. The proprietary formulation and methods for creating the catalyst are the basis of Airocide's competitive advantage, making it the only consistently robust, highly effective, ozone free PCO technology on the market.

38

Airocide™ has been tested over the past 12 years by governmental agencies such as NASA, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, independent universities including the University of Wisconsin, Texas Tech University and Texas A&M, and air quality science laboratories. Airocide technology is listed as a FDA class II medical device, making it suitable for providing medical grade air purification in critical hospital use cases. Airocide® product lines include: APS (consumer units) and the GCS and HD lines (commercial units) and will enable the commercial units with the SteriLumen App to bring connectivity, reporting and asset management to our air purification products.

The APS series provides true choice, low maintenance filter-less PCO or a filtered air purification option ideal for restaurants, conference rooms, residential and small business or home office spaces. The GCS series is suitable for larger public spaces and enclosed rooms that may have high occupancy such as offices, waiting rooms and hotel lobbies, and airport gate areas. The HD series is the most powerful, providing two-stage purification for fast sanitization of larger or industrial spaces such as sporting venues and locker rooms, airports, museums, winery cellars, warehouses and food-processing facilities. All Airocide™ products also extend the life of any perishables like fruit, produce or flowers.

Scientific Air

On October 13, 2021, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Old SAM Partners, LLC F/K/A Scientific Air Management, LLC ("Old SAM"), which owned a line of air purification technologies ("Scientific Air") for a purchase price of $9.5 million in cash and 200,000 fully vested shares of our Common Stock (the "Vested Shares") and 200,000 shares of our Common Stock that are subject to vesting (the "Earnout Shares") (the "'SciAir' Acquisition"). The number of shares of Common Stock included in the purchase price was based on a per share value of $10.00. With respect to the Vested Shares and the Earnout Shares, the Acquisition agreement provided that we would pay additional cash compensation to Scientific Air if the if the 20 day average price of our common stock was below $10.00 on April 14, 2022, in the case of the Vested Shares or March 31, 2023, in the case of the Earnout Shares. Such amounts were payable only if Old SAM or its affiliates owned Vested Shares or Earnout Shares on the applicable determination date. As described below, Old SAM and certain of its affiliates have relinquished their right to all 400,000 Vested Shares and Earnout Shares.

On March 31, 2022 we entered into a Settlement Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") with Old SAM and the members thereof who executed the Settlement Agreement (collectively, the "Old SAM Parties"), pursuant to which the Old SAM Parties relinquished all of their right, title and interest in any of the Vested Shares and the Earnout Shares and no longer have the right to any additional cash consideration as described above. The Settlement Agreement also contains a mutual release of all claims we and the Old SAM parties have against each other, other than claims related to certain consulting agreements executed in connection with Acquisition. The Settlement Agreement was not the result of any litigation, and no claims were filed by us against any of the Old SAM Parties or by any of the Old SAM Parties against us.

The Scientific Air product line uses a combination of UVC and a proprietary, patented system to eliminate airborne bacteria, mold, fungi, viruses, volatile organic compounds and many odors without producing any harmful by- products. Scientific Air's products are well suited for larger spaces within a facility due to the higher air flow of these units. The units are also mobile with industrial grade casters, allowing for movement throughout a facility to address increased bio burden from larger meetings or increased human traffic. Both of these key items extend our Airocide line, creating a comprehensive air disinfection portfolio that spans from small to large spaces and mobile applications.

Scientific Air's products are currently sold predominantly in North America and into the healthcare market. We see a number of bidirectional synergies. First, we look to leverage Airocide's global distribution capabilities to start distributing Scientific Air's products internationally. Second, we look to leverage Scientific Air's strength in healthcare to pull through existing Airocide units, creating a broad healthcare product line, from small clinics, patient rooms and doctor's offices to larger spaces such as nursing stations, waiting rooms and cafeterias. Scientific Air currently leverages one of the largest healthcare distributors in North America, which is a relationship we intend to further develop to increase our customer base and revenue. Finally, we look to implement our IoT integration to our platform for connecting all our units via the SteriLumen App, creating smart asset management, reporting, and control across enterprises.

Both our Airocide and Scientific Air Management brands are sold globally in 52 countries through approximately 52 distribution channels including master distributors, dealers, and sales representatives.

39

Market Opportunity

Our goal is to build a company that successfully designs, develops and markets our air and surface disinfection solutions that will enable US and global economies to re-open and provide safe environments during and following the pandemic. We will seek to achieve this goal by having our products actively involved in the following activities:

Focus on key target verticals that have proven business use cases including:

Cannabis
Food Preservation
Healthcare
Winery
Hospitality
Schools
Correctional Facilities
Dental and Long-Term Care
Consumer Markets
In addition to further developing Airocide, Scientific Air, and Lumicide specific sales efforts, we intend to leverage the Company's hospitality business (MunnWorks) for cross-selling opportunities of our air purification and surface disinfectant solutions and products. Our initial research indicates that the key stakeholders in this market value the asset management and reporting capabilities of our platform and provide key points of differentiation.
Expand our global distributor channels into new markets not currently served.
Continue scientific validation through lab testing and data from real world deployments; publish case studies in peer reviewed journals.
Leverage domestic contract manufacture to eliminate the global supply chain and logistics disruption.

We are also prioritizing our opportunities in additional market segments:

Cruise Line Bathrooms. Because of the close quarters inside most cruise line cabins, pathogens can easily be spread amongst passengers, especially on long voyages where cruise line bathrooms have more use and may not be cleaned before the end of the trip. Our SteriLumen App could provide an important means for disinfecting cruise line bathrooms, keeping track of cleanliness during voyages, and decreasing the spread of germs in the cruise liner.

Restaurants. Given the need to prevent foodborne illness, restaurants are constantly urging staff to wash their hands and are required by public health authorities to keep their premises as clean and germ-free as possible. There is an opportunity to become part of upscale restaurants' strategy to demonstrate dedication and commitment to customers and health department to reduce the spread of infections within their establishment.

Consumer. We look to expand our consumer marketplace reach with our Airocide brand and we plan to expand digital marketing activities to gain greater market share.

Surface Disinfection Solutions: Lumicide

The Company's Lumicide brand of products are unique, patented, and automated disinfecting systems that rely on LEDs in the "C" range of the ultraviolet spectrum (UVC). Lumicide offers configurable options for placement of the UVC LEDs in a wide variety of fixtures including but not limited to vanities, restrooms, above desks or along countertops. Lumicide disinfects hard surfaces within 12 to 24 inches of the unit, generating adequate energy required to kill pathogens in a typical disinfection cycle at extremely low power measured in milliwatts. Lumicide has been tested by ResInnova Laboratories, an International Antimicrobial Council certified BSL-2 testing facility ("ResInnova").

Our product platform includes the following attributes:

Focus on high-contamination surfaces Focuses on pathogens that accumulate on the sink area, including handles, faucets, backsplash and in the drain.
Germicidal UVC LEDs. The UVC LEDs in our devices have demonstrated destruction of the most clinically relevant pathogens causing HAIs as well as destruction of SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19.
Automatic operation. A built-in programmable controller within the unit ensures operation for the appropriate UVC dosage required to conduct four logs pathogen destruction and is not dependent on manual operation. Its functionality is expandable and may become a source for recurring income through additional data reporting, leasing and maintenance of add-on elements.
Continuous operation. Works in pre-programmed cycles that can be managed by an on-board programmable controller. The motion detectors enclosed within each device allow continuous disinfection of high contamination areas as long as room occupants are outside a safe distance of the device. Research has shown that microbes can rebound to pre-disinfection levels within two hours following manual cleaning and disinfection. Lumicide products operating continuously mitigate pathogen regeneration.
Safety. Built-in redundant motion sensors automatically shut off when movement is detected within range of the UVC light, or failure of motion sensors on the unit, eliminating safety concerns about UVC exposure. Once there is no movement in the room for programmed time period, Lumcide comes back on to restart and continue its cycle.

We currently have five product lines incorporating Lumicide including:

(i) disinfecting drain device (in market);

(ii) disinfecting shelf, is a ribbon that can be installed above a sink, beneath an existing bathroom mirror, or above other high-contamination risk surfaces (in market);

(iii) disinfecting back-lit mirror (in development);

41

The Company has pursued validation of its platform in both laboratory and real clinical settings. Devices were independently tested in 2017, before the pandemic, and again in 2020 at ResInnova Laboratories, an International Antimicrobial Council certified BSL-2 testing facility. The disinfecting mirror and disinfecting drain devices were found to be effective in killing (3-4 log reductions) the most infectious and clinically important pathogens including C. difficile, methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), E. Coli, and OC43 human coronavirus, a strain structurally and genetically similar to SARS-CoV-2 and accepted as a surrogate for that virus. The Company is also sponsoring a study at Mount Sinai and its Icahn School of Medicine on the effectiveness of Lumicide in patient bathrooms in a New York hospital in the Mount Sinai system. Mount Sinai has agreed to provide the results of their study in a report to be issued in the third quarter of 2022 as well as publishing their results in an academic, peer reviewed journal.

Integrating Our Solutions Through Our SteriLumen App

The SteriLumen application enables IoT connectivity using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other RF technology for continuous transmission of use and functionality data for collection and analysis. The SteriLumen App provides remote asset management and full visibility into the operation of our devices as well as efficacy reporting on the cycles that have run and subsequent cleanliness status. The application also enables Smart Maintenance, with LED cartridge lifecycle alerts, fault detection/reports and other automatic system updates. We expect to launch the SteriLumen App in Q4 2022.

Hospitality Segment

Through our subsidiary, MunnWorks, we manufacture, and supply furniture, custom designed decorative framed mirrors, framed art, and bathroom vanities primarily to the hospitality market. We supply the major hotel brands in North America including hotel chains such as Hilton Hotels & Resorts, the various Hyatt branded hotels, the various Marriott branded hotels, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts and the subsidiary hotel brands for each of these major brands. We have a national sales force and an established distribution network for hotels and restaurants in every major market in the United States and have begun to develop a distribution network for the assisted living market. These distribution networks will also be a significant asset for cross selling and recommending our Airocide and Lumicide products and solutions, as those networks will be utilized for marketing and sales. On March 25, 2022 MunnWorks acquired substantially all of the assets of VisionMark, LLC, which in the business of manufacturing and selling furniture to the hospitality industry. This acquisition will expand our offerings beyond fine mirrors to include furnishings and enable MunnWorks to compete head-to-head in new construction and remodeling in the luxury hospitality market.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

We qualify as an "emerging growth company" as the term is used in The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"), and therefore, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various public company reporting requirements, including:

a requirement to only have two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related selected financial data and management's discussion and analysis;
exemption from the auditor attestation requirement on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting;
reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation; and
exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory stockholder vote on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments.
42

We may take advantage of these provisions for up to five years or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenues, have more than $700.0 million in market value of our capital stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1.07 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. So long as we remain an emerging growth company, we may choose to take advantage of some, but not all, of the available benefits of the JOBS Act. In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

RISK FACTORS

Before purchasing any of the securities you should carefully consider the risk factors relating to our company described below and incorporated by reference in this prospectus from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as well as the risks, uncertainties, and additional information set forth in our reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K filed with the SEC, and in the other documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus. For a description of these reports and documents, and information about where you can find them, see "Where You Can Find More Information" and "Incorporation of Certain Documents By Reference." Additional risks not presently known or that we presently consider to be immaterial could subsequently materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, business, and prospects.

Additional Risks Relating to this Offering

We may allocate the net proceeds from this offering in ways that you and other stockholders may not approve.

We currently intend to use the net proceeds of this offering, if any, for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures, repayment and refinancing of debt, research and development expenditures, acquisitions of additional companies or technologies, and investments. This expected use of the net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. As a result, we will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not necessarily improve our operating results or enhance the value of our common stock. See "Use of Proceeds."

If you purchase our common stock in this offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of your shares.

The public offering price of our common stock is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock. Therefore, if you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds our net tangible book value per share after this offering. Assuming the sale of shares of our common stock in this offering in the aggregate amount of $50,000,000, based on the assumed public offering price of $2.27 per share, which was the last reported sale price of our common stock on Nasdaq on June 30, 2022, and net tangible book value per share of our common stock of $0.76 as of March 31, 2022, if you purchase shares in this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of $1.18 per share in the net tangible book value of common stock purchased. To the extent shares are issued under outstanding options or warrants, you will incur further dilution. See "Dilution" for a more detailed description of the dilution to new investors in the offering.

The sale of our common stock in this offering and any future sales of our common stock may depress our stock price and our ability to raise funds in new stock offerings.

We may issue common stock from time to time in connection with this offering. This issuance from time to time of these new shares of our common stock, or our ability to issue these shares of common stock in this offering, could result in resales of our common stock by our current stockholders concerned about the potential dilution of their holdings. In addition, sales of our common stock in the public market following this offering could lower the market price of our common stock. Sales may also make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that our management deems acceptable, or at all. We cannot predict the number of these shares that might be resold or the effect that future sales of our shares of common stock would have on the market price of our shares of common stock.

We plan to sell shares of our common stock in "at the market offerings" and investors who buy shares of our common stock at different times will likely pay different prices.

Investors who purchase shares of our common stock in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices and may experience different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to the effect of market conditions, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold in this offering. Investors may experience a decline in the value of their shares of our common stock. The trading price of our common stock has been volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. Many factors could have an impact on the market price of our common stock, including the factors described above and in the accompanying prospectus and those incorporated by reference herein and therein.

45

We cannot predict the actual number of shares of our common stock that we will sell under the ATM Sales Agreement, or the gross proceeds resulting from those sales.

Subject to certain limitations in the ATM Sales Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a placement notice to the Sales Agents at any time throughout the term of the ATM Sales Agreement. The number of shares of our common stock that are sold through the Sales Agents 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 Agents in any applicable placement notice, and the demand for our common stock during the sales period. Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate during the sales period, it is not possible to predict the number of shares that will be sold or the gross proceeds we will raise in connection with those sales.

We have never paid dividends on our common stock and we do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.

We have never paid dividends on any of our common stock and currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund the growth of our business. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be the sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

CAUTIONARY NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, and other written and oral statements we make from time to time contain certain "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). You can identify these forward-looking statements by the fact they use words such as "could," "would," "should," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "target," "may," "project," "guidance," "intend," "plan," "believe," "will," "potential," "opportunity," "future," and other words and terms of similar meaning and expression in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. You can also identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including factors that could delay, divert, or change any of them, and could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from current expectations. These statements are likely to relate to, among other things, our business strategy, our research and development, our product development efforts, our ability to commercialize our product candidates, the activities of our licensees, our prospects for initiating partnerships or collaborations, the timing of the introduction of products, the effect of new accounting pronouncements, uncertainty regarding our future operating results and our profitability, anticipated sources of funds as well as our plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions.

We have included more detailed descriptions of these risks and uncertainties and other risks and uncertainties applicable to our business that we believe could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement in the "Risk Factors" sections of this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein including, but not limited to, the risk factors incorporated by reference from our filings with the SEC. We encourage you to read those descriptions carefully. Although we believe we have been prudent in our plans and assumptions, no assurance can be given that any goal or plan set forth in forward-looking statements can be achieved. We caution investors not to place significant reliance on forward-looking statements; such statements need to be evaluated in light of all the information contained and incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Furthermore, the statements speak only as of the date of each document, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise these statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities from offerings under this prospectus for capital expenditures, repayment and refinancing of debt, research and development expenditures, acquisitions of additional companies or technologies, investments and general corporate purposes, including working capital unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise. General corporate purposes may include working capital, We may temporarily invest the net proceeds in investment-grade, interest-bearing securities until they are used for their stated purpose. We have not determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for such purposes. As a result, we will retain broad discretion over the allocation of net proceeds.

DILUTION

If you invest in our common stock, your ownership interest will be 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 this offering. We calculate net tangible book value per share by dividing the net tangible book value, which is tangible assets less total liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. Dilution with respect to net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of shares of common stock in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering. The net tangible book value of our common stock on March 31, 2022, was $9,776,316, or approximately $0.76 per share of common stock.

After giving effect to the sale of 3,964,758 shares of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus in the aggregate amount of $9,000,000 at an assumed price of $2.27 per share, which was the last reported sale price of our common stock on Nasdaq on June 30, 2022, and after deducting commissions (estimated at 3.0% of the gross proceeds from each sale of our shares of common stock) and estimated offering expenses payable by us (estimated at $150,000), our as-adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2022 would have been approximately $18,356,315, or approximately $1.09 per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of approximately $0.33 per share of common stock to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in as-adjusted net tangible book value of approximately $1.18 per share to purchasers of our common stock in this offering, as illustrated by the following table:

Assumed offering price per share $ 2.27
Net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2022 $ 9,776,316
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering 0.76
As adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering 1.09
Dilution per share to new investors participating in this offering $ 1.18

The above discussion and table are based on approximately 12,888,174 shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2022 and does not include:

192,419 shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants with a weighted-average exercise price of $5.84 per share; and
833,314 shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options with a weighted-average exercise price of $5.95 per share.
47

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

General

Each share of our common stock has the same relative rights and is identical in all respects with each other share of common stock.

Voting Rights

Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, does not provide for cumulative voting for the election of directors, which means that the holders of a majority of the shares voted can elect all of the directors then standing for election. The common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights and is not subject to conversion or redemption. Each outstanding share of common stock offered by this prospectus will, when issued, be fully paid and nonassessable.

Dividends

Holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in any dividends declared by our Board of Directors, subject to any preferential dividend rights of any outstanding preferred stock. We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Preemptive Rights

Holders of common stock do not have any preemptive rights with respect to any shares that we may issue in the future. Thus, we may sell shares of our common stock without first offering them to the then holders of common stock.

Liquidation

In the event of any liquidation or dissolution of our company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of our common stock would be entitled to receive pro rata, after payment of all our debts and liabilities, all of our assets available for distribution, subject to the rights of the holders of any preferred stock which may be issued with a priority in liquidation or dissolution over the holders of common stock.

Listing

Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "AUVI."

Exclusive Forum

Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company to the Company or the Company's stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, or (d) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in each case subject to said Court of Chancery having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein. This exclusive forum provision may limit the ability of our stockholders to bring a claim in a judicial forum that such stockholders find favorable for disputes with us or our directors or officers, which may discourage lawsuits against us or our directors or officers. Our Certificate of Incorporation also provides that this choice of forum provision does not apply to claims arising under federal securities laws.

48

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Statutory Business Combination Provision. Delaware has adopted a "business combination" statute (Section 203 of the DGCL) that may also have additional anti-takeover effects to provisions in our certificate of incorporation, as amended, and by-laws. Section 203 of the DGCL, which, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years following the time that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

the board of directors of the corporation approves either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, prior to the time the interested stockholder attained that status;
upon the closing of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding, for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding, those shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
at or subsequent to such time, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

With certain exceptions, an "interested stockholder" is a person or group who or which owns 15% or more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock (including any rights to acquire stock pursuant to an option, warrant, agreement, arrangement, or understanding, or upon the exercise of conversion or exchange rights, and stock with respect to which the person has voting rights only), or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of such voting stock at any time within the previous three years.

In general, Section 203 defines a business combination to include:

any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;
any sale, transfer, pledge, or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder;
subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;
any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock or any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or
the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges, or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.

A Delaware corporation may "opt out" of this provision with an express provision in its original certificate of incorporation or an express provision in its amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws resulting from a stockholders' amendment approved by at least a majority of the outstanding voting shares. However, we have not "opted out" of this provision. Section 203 could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change-in-control attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire our company.

49

Size of the Board and Vacancies. Our by-laws provide that the exact number of directors is determined by resolution of the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has the right to fill any vacancies resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, or removal, as well as any newly created directorships arising from an increase in the size of the Board of Directors.

Amendment of Charter Provisions. The affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of our voting stock, voting together as a single class, is required to, among other things, amend, alter, change, or repeal certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation, as amended. Our by-laws may only be amended (or new by-laws adopted) by the Board of Directors or the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of our voting stock represented in person or by proxy at the meeting at which the amendment is voted on.

Undesignated Preferred Stock. Following the filing of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, we could issue preferred stock that could have other rights, including economic rights senior to our common stock, so that the issuance of the preferred stock could adversely affect the market value of our common stock. The issuance of the preferred stock may also have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of our company without any action by the stockholders. The effects of issuing preferred stock could include one or more of the following:

restricting dividends on the common stock;
diluting the voting power of the common stock;
impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock; or
discouraging, delaying, or preventing changes in control or management of our company.

Transfer Agent

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is VStock Transfer, LLC.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement, we may issue and sell from time to time shares of our common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $9,000,000 through the Sales Agent, acting as sales agent or principal, subject to certain limitations. The ATM Sales Agreement has been filed with the SEC and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus. This is a brief summary of the material terms of the ATM Sales Agreement and does not purport to be a complete statement of its terms and conditions.

Each time that we wish to sell common stock under the ATM Sales Agreement, we will provide an agent designated by the Company as sole executing agent with a placement notice describing the number or dollar value of shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of shares that may be sold in any one day, and any minimum price below which sales may not be made.

Upon receipt of a placement notice from us, and subject to the terms and conditions of the ATM Sales Agreement, the Sales Agent have agreed to use their commercially reasonable efforts consistent with their normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules, and regulations, and the rules of Nasdaq to sell such shares up to the amount specified. The settlement between us and the Sales Agent of each sale will occur on the second trading day following the date on which the sale was made or on some other date that is agreed upon by us and the Sales Agents in connection with a particular transaction. The obligation of the Sales Agent under the ATM Sales Agreement to sell our common stock pursuant to a placement notice is subject to a number of conditions.

50

We will pay the Sales Agent a commission of up to 3% of the gross proceeds of the sale price per share under the ATM Sales Agreement. The Sales Agent may also receive customary brokerage commissions from purchasers of the common stock in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121. The Sales Agent may effect sales to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Sales Agents and/or purchasers of shares of common stock for whom they may act as agents or to whom they may sell as principal. In addition, we have agreed to reimburse legal expenses of the Sales Agent in an amount not to exceed $20,000 in connection with entering into the ATM Sales Agreement plus up to $3,000 per calendar quarter. We estimate that the total expenses for the offering, excluding compensation and reimbursements payable to the Sales Agent under the terms of the ATM Sales Agreement, will be approximately $150,000.

The actual proceeds to us will vary depending on the number of shares sold and the prices of such sales. 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.

In connection with the sale of our common stock contemplated in this prospectus, the Sales Agent will be deemed to be "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation paid to the Sales Agent will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to indemnify the Sales Agent against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

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 Agents may agree upon. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in escrow, trust, or similar arrangement.

The offering of our common stock pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement will terminate on the earlier of (1) the issuance and sale of all of our common stock subject to the ATM Sales Agreement, or (2) termination of the ATM Sales Agreement by us or the Sales Agent.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the securities that may be offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Carmel, Milazzo & Feil LLP, New York, New York. The Sales Agent is being represented by Pryor Cashman LLP, New York, New York.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits, in general, a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party to any proceeding (other than an action by, or in the right of, the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or served another business enterprise in any capacity at the request of the corporation, against liability incurred in connection with such proceeding, including the expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings, additionally had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation's power to indemnify applies to actions brought by or in the right of the corporation as well, but only to the extent of expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit, provided that no indemnification shall be provided in such actions in the event of any adjudication of negligence or misconduct in the performance of such person's duties to the corporation, unless a court believes that in light of all the circumstances indemnification should apply. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law also permits, in general, a Delaware corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or served another entity in any capacity at the request of the corporation, against liability incurred by such person in such capacity, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability.

We have obtained insurance covering our directors and officers against losses and insuring us against certain of our obligations to indemnify our directors and officers.

Our by-laws provide that we shall indemnify each of our directors and officers, to the maximum extent permitted from time to time by law, against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by reason of the fact that he or she is a director or officer.

This right of indemnification conferred in our by-laws is not exclusive of any other right.

In addition, our certificate of incorporation, as amended, includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors to the extent permitted by Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

II-1

These indemnification provisions may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our directors and officers for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act.

Item 17. Undertakings

(a) 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 this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;

(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 this registration statement;

Provided, however, That Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(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 herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

II-3

(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:

(i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:

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

(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415 (a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(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 an 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.

II-4

(b)The undersigned registrant hereby further undertakes that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(h)Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(j)The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act ("Act") in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under section 305(b)(2) of the Act.
