PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information from this prospectus and may not contain all of the information that is important to you in making an investment decision. Before investing in our securities, you should carefully read this entire prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes included in this prospectus and the information set forth under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” See also the section entitled “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

Overview

We are an Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) technology company developing innovative neuroscientific solutions with goals to improve brain health outcomes for patients with mental illnesses and neurological disorders. Our FDA-510(k) cleared BNA™, or Brain Network Analytics, is an advanced neurophysiological assessment tool that uses AI and machine learning to analyze EEG data recorded during rest and cognitive activity. In addition, the Evox System is FDA-510(k) cleared, and is intended for the acquisition, display, and storage, of electrical activity of a patient’s brain including electroencephalograph (EEG) and event-related potentials (ERP) obtained by placing two or more electrodes on the head to aid in diagnosis. Our products may enhance neurological assessments by providing objective, data-driven insights that allow for the early and longitudinal detection of neurophysiological deviations. These insights into brainwave patterns underlying cognitive function may help in tailoring personalized treatment plans and improving patient outcomes more effectively than traditional EEG analysis.

Most neurological disorders affect the neurophysiological state of brain networks. Our products have the potential to detect these subtle changes, aiding the management of various cognitive and neurological disorders where cognitive functions are impacted. This can include but is not limited to: Mood and anxiety disorders as well as neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases and brain injuries. While our products offer significant benefits in these areas, they may be most effective when integrated into a comprehensive diagnostic and treatment approach.

We have taken a period of 15 years and an investment of more than $60 million, to develop the software, compile the requisite database of brain wave tests, gain patent protection, and receive Federal Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance to market and sell the BNA Platform. The BNA Platform is a software as a medical solution that was developed using AI through unsupervised machine learning (via clustering analysis) on our extensive proprietary database of standardized, high-definition longitudinal electroencephalograms (“EEG”) of over 18,000 patients representing twelve disorders, as well as clinically healthy normal patients. The AI algorithms underlying the BNA platform play a crucial role throughout the workflow by automating complex computational tasks during the following steps of data analysis: (1) data pre-processing, (2) data segmentation, (3) clustering data, (4) functional modeling of the data and (5) single subject matching and scoring. These algorithms find and measure patterns of brain activity, identify locations and measure intensity over time and lastly compare the data generated to an age-matched normative database. Clustering data further aids in breaking down the dataset by grouping subjects based on EEG outputs and identifying key characteristics of the cluster such as age, gender, alertness or dominant hand.

As of the date of this filing, our products are in market. We believe there is further potential for such commercialization, both with respect to pharmaceutical companies in their drug research and clinical trial activities, as well as medical practitioners in their clinics. In concert with the commercialization of BNA Platform, we are collaborating with neuroscience drug development companies to support their clinical strategies. We plan to generate revenue through two segments: through the use of our products by United States health care professionals and through collaborations with pharmaceutical companies in support of neuroscience drug development. The proposed business model for healthcare provider clinics consists of a base service fee for licensing the product and a per use fee based on volume. The proposed business model for pharmaceutical companies will be tailored to each customer based on the volume and costs associated to provide such services. In order to further grow our products in the medical community, the company has hired sales staff, and plans to continue marketing efforts to secure new accounts. The company will continue to focus on targeted outreach and client engagement in the clinics segment. Using its database of potential customers and external lead generating services, the company will identify key targets in select markets and connect with them through personalized emails and calls to schedule meetings with decision-makers. The sales team, equipped with marketing materials, case studies, peer-reviewed publications, and knowledge gained from our current research partners, will present the benefits of our products and practical applications during these meetings. Follow-up efforts, including addressing questions and offering assistance by our Clinical Support Team, will aim to build strong client relationships and drive adoption of the platform.

The clinical utility of EEG technology to support better outcomes for patients with mental illnesses and cognitive disorders has been well documented. Historically, clinical adoption of EEG by medical professionals, including psychiatrists, neurologists, nurse practitioners and general practitioners, we believe has been limited due to the complexity of interpreting EEG recordings and the inability to practically compare a patient’s brain electrophysiology to that of a clinically normal age-matched patient. Firefly believes that without defining a standard deviation to the norm, it is not possible to objectively assess brain electrophysiology. By establishing an objective baseline measurement of brain electrophysiology, our products enables clinicians to optimize patient care, leading to improved outcomes for people suffering from mental illnesses and cognitive disorders.

Our value proposition is supported by real-world use of our products. Incorporating our products as part of a patient management protocol demonstrated improved response rates, enhanced therapy compliance, reduced non-responder rates and a reduction in need for medication switching among patients. Further, we believe that our extensive clinical database, when combined with advanced AI, provides the opportunity to identify clinically relevant biomarkers that will support better patient outcomes through precision medicine and companion diagnostics. We expect to gather additional data through the clinical deployments and clinical studies conducted by drug companies. This additional data should allow us to discover new biomarkers and objectively measure the impact of therapeutic interventions on patients of different types, further enhancing our platform’s effectiveness. We believe that we will be able to enhance accurate diagnosis and predict what therapy or drug, or a combination thereof, is best suited to optimize patient outcomes. This represents a paradigm shift in how clinicians manage patients with mental illnesses and cognitive disorders holding the potential to transform brain health.

Upon the initial satisfaction of the conditions to Arena’s purchase obligations set forth in the ELOC Purchase Agreement (the “Commencement”), including that the registration statement that includes this prospectus shall have been declared effective by the SEC, we will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time in our sole discretion over the 36-month period beginning on the date upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the right of our Company to deliver an advance notice occurs (the “Commencement Date”), to direct Arena to purchase a specified number of shares of the Common Stock not to exceed certain limitations set forth in the ELOC Purchase Agreement (each, a “Purchase”), including that (i) the aggregate number of Common Stock to be issued to Arena under the ELOC Purchase Agreement shall not exceed the ELOC Beneficial Ownership Limitation, which is 9.99% of the then total outstanding Common Stock, and (ii) the aggregate number of Common Stock to be purchased by Arena under the ELOC Purchase Agreement shall not exceed 19.99% of the then outstanding Common Stock before such proposed purchase and sale (the “Exchange Cap”); provided further that, the Exchange Cap will not apply if our shareholders have approved issuances in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq, by timely delivering an advance notice to Arena (each, an “Advance Notice”), on any trading day (each, a “Purchase Date”). The number of Common Stock of each Purchase (“Maximum Advance Amount”) varies in accordance with the time the Advance Notice is received, if the Advance Notice is received by 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time, the lower of: (i) an amount equal to forty percent (40%) of the average of the daily value traded of the Common Stock on the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding an Advance Notice, or (ii) $2 million; provided, however, that the parties may modify the aforementioned conditions by mutual prior written consent.

The per share purchase price that Arena is required to pay for our Common Stock in a Purchase effected by us pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement, if any, will be determined by reference to the volume weighted average price of our Common Stock (the “VWAP”), calculated in accordance with the ELOC Purchase Agreement, for the period (a) from 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time through 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, excluding the opening price and the closing price, if the Advance Notice is received before 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time (the “Measurement Period”). If the total day’s VWAP at the end of any given 1-hour interval has changed by +/- 6% versus the previous 1-hour interval, the purchase price will be 88.0% of Arena’s sale execution for that day.

In consideration for Arena’s execution and delivery of the ELOC Purchase Agreement, we shall pay Arena $300,000 in cash (the “Commitment Fee”) which shall be deemed fully earned on the date of the ELOC Purchase Agreement and which shall be payable within five (5) calendar days of the date of the ELOC Purchase Agreement. As of the date of this prospectus, we have paid Arena the Commitment Fee.

From and after the Commencement, we will control the timing and amount of any sales of our Common Stock to Arena under the ELOC Purchase Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of our Common Stock and determinations by us as to the appropriate sources of funding for our business and operations.

The net proceeds to us from sales that we elect to make to Arena under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, if any, will depend on the frequency and prices at which we sell our Common Stock to Arena. We expect that any proceeds received by us from such sales to Arena will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

There are no restrictions on future financings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the ELOC Purchase Agreement, other than a prohibition (with certain limited exceptions) on entering into specified “Variable Rate Transactions” (as such term is defined in the ELOC Purchase Agreement) during the term of the ELOC Purchase Agreement. Such transactions include, among others, the issuance of convertible securities with a conversion or exercise price that is based upon or varies with the trading price of our Common Stock after the date of issuance, or our effecting or entering into an agreement to effect an “equity line of credit” or other substantially similar continuous offering with a third party, in which we may offer, issue or sell our Common Stock or any securities exercisable, exchangeable or convertible into our Common Stock at a future determined price.

Arena has represented and agreed that none of Arena or its affiliates has or will engage in or effect any short sales of our Common Stock or hedging transaction that establishes a net short position in our Common Stock during the term of the ELOC Purchase Agreement.

The ELOC Purchase Agreement will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the first day of the month following the 36-month anniversary of the Commencement Date, and (ii) the date on which Arena shall have purchased from us under the ELOC Purchase Agreement our Common Stock for an aggregate gross purchase price of $10,000,000, subject to the Exchange Cap. We may terminate the ELOC Purchase Agreement effective upon five trading days’ prior written notice to Arena; provided that (i) there are no outstanding Advance Notices, and the Common Stock under which have yet to be issued, and (ii) we have paid all amounts owed to Arena pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement. The ELOC Purchase Agreement may be terminated at any time by the mutual written consent of the parties.

The ELOC Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations of the parties. Copies of the agreements have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement that includes this prospectus and are available electronically on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

We do not know what the purchase price for our Common Stock will be and therefore cannot be certain as to the number of shares of Common Stock we might issue to Arena under the ELOC Purchase Agreement after the Commencement Date. As of July 12, 2025, the latest practicable date, there were 13,243,054 shares of Common Stock outstanding, including 11,061,829 shares of Common Stock held by non-affiliates of our Company. If all of the 2,934,666 shares of Common Stock offered by Arena under this prospectus were issued and outstanding as of the date hereof, such shares would represent 18.14% of the total number of our outstanding Common Stock. If we elect to issue and sell more than 2,934,666 Common Stock to Arena pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement, in our sole discretion, we will register for resale under the Securities Act any such additional Common Stock, which could cause additional substantial dilution to our shareholders. The number of our Common Stock ultimately offered for resale by Arena is dependent upon the number of our Common Stock we can sell to Arena pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement.

The number of our Common Stock ultimately offered for resale by Arena through this prospectus is dependent upon the number of our Common Stock, if any, we elect to sell to Arena under the ELOC Purchase Agreement from and after the Commencement Date. The issuance of our Common Stock to Arena pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement will not affect the rights or privileges of our existing shareholders, except that the economic and voting interests of each of our existing shareholders will be diluted. Although the number of our Common Stock that our existing shareholders own will not decrease, the Common Stock owned by our existing shareholders will represent a smaller percentage of our total outstanding Common Stock after any such issuance.

March 2025 Units Offering

On March 28, 2025, we entered into the March 2025 Subscription Agreement with the Subscribers, pursuant to which we sold 547,737 March 2025 Units, at a purchase price of $3.00 per March 2025 Unit. Each March 2025 Unit consists of (i) either (A) one share of Common Stock and/or (B) a prefunded warrant to purchase Common Stock to the extent that acquiring the shares of Common Stock instead of such prefunded warrants would have caused the Subscriber to own in excess of 4.99% of the shares of outstanding Common Stock on a post-issuance basis and (ii) one Common Stock purchase warrant to purchase Common Stock over thirty-six (36) months at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. On the same date, the closing under the March 2025 Subscription Agreement occurred, and we issued 547,737 March 2025 Units to the Subscribers.

The March 2025 Units Offering Pre-Funded Warrants have a nominal exercise price of $0.0001 (subject to standard adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, mergers and similar transactions) and may be exercised on a cashless basis. The prefunded warrants also contain a beneficial ownership limitation which provides that the Company shall not effect any exercise, and a holder shall not have the right to exercise, any portion of a prefunded to the extent that, after giving effect to the exercise, such holder (together with such holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares issuable upon the exercise. This limitation may be waived (up to a maximum of 9.99%) by the holder and in its sole discretion, upon not less than sixty-one (61) days’ prior notice to the Company.

In connection with the March 2025 Units Offering, we entered into a finder’s fee agreement with Canaccord, pursuant to which the Company will pay Canaccord at the closing of the March 2025 Units Offering (i) a payment of up to 7.5% of the gross proceeds raised from subscriptions in the March 2025 Units Offering from persons introduced to the Company by Canaccord, payable in cash; and (ii) the issuance of the Finder’s Warrant to Canaccord of up to 7.5% of the March 2025 Units subscribed for by person introduced to the Company by Canaccord.

The parties executed broad mutual releases of any and all claims arising from or relating to McLean’s employment, termination, or the related litigation. The releases extend to claims under employment standards legislation, human rights laws, and common law and include an agreement by the McLean Parties to file a discontinuance of the Ontario litigation on a without-cost basis.

The Subscription Agreement provides that the McLean Parties Settlement Shares will be issued on a fully diluted basis and will be subject to applicable transfer restrictions under U.S. and Canadian securities laws, and that such securities are being issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on the exemption provided under Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D. The McLean Parties Settlement Shares will bear a customary restrictive legend and may not be transferred without registration or an available exemption.

June 2025 Units Offering

On June 16, 2025, we entered into the June 2025 Purchase Agreement with certain June 2025 Units Offering investors, pursuant to which we issued and sold 400,000 of June 2025 units, at a purchase price of $3.00 per June 2025 Unit. Each June 2025 Unit consists of (i) either (A) one share of Common Stock, or (B) a prefunded warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at a nominal exercise price of $0.0001 per share, to the extent that acquiring the shares of Common Stock instead of the June 2025 Units Offering Pre-Funded Warrant would have caused the investors to own in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock on a post-issuance basis; (ii) one common stock purchase warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock over five (5) years at an exercise price of $3.50 per share; and (iii) one common stock purchase warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock over five (5) years at an exercise price of $4.00 per share.

Risk Factors

Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section entitled “Risk Factors” immediately following this prospectus summary, that represent challenges that we face in connection with the successful implementation of our strategy and the growth of our business. In particular, the following considerations, among others, may offset our competitive strengths or have a negative effect on our business strategy, which could cause a decline in the price of shares of our Common Stock and result in a loss of all or a portion of your investment:

•

We are facing significant liquidity risks that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

•

We are subject to operating risks, including excess or constrained capacity and operational inefficiencies, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

•

If we are not successful in enhancing awareness of our BNA platform, driving adoption across our current target population and expanding the population of eligible patients, our sales, business, financial condition and results of operations will be negatively affected.

•

If we fail to successfully initiate our broad commercialization program, market and sell our BNA Platform cost-effectively, our sales, business, financial condition and results of operations will be negatively affected.

•

We may be unable to compete successfully with competitive technologies, which could harm our sales, business, financial condition and results of operations.

•

Use of our BNA Platform requires appropriate training and inadequate training may lead to negative clinician experiences, which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

•

We are highly dependent on our senior management team and key personnel, and our business could be harmed if we are unable to attract and retain personnel necessary for our success.

•

We may not be able to achieve or maintain satisfactory pricing and margins for our BNA Platform, which could harm our business and results of operations.

•

Future sales of our BNA Platform may depend on healthcare providers’ or patients’ ability to obtain reimbursement from third-party payors, such as insurance carriers.

•

Complying with regulations enforced by FDA and other regulatory authorities is expensive and time consuming, and failure to comply could result in substantial penalties.

•

We may not receive the necessary authorizations to market our BNA Platform or any future new products, and any failure to timely do so may adversely affect our ability to grow our business.

•

Since our BNA Platform will utilize cloud-based information systems and the exchange of information between patents and doctors, we will be subject to numerous U.S. federal and state laws and regulations related to the privacy and security of personally identifiable information, including health information.

•

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, shareholders could lose confidence in our financial and other public reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our Common Stock.

•

Our success depends in part on our proprietary technology, and if we are unable to successfully enforce our intellectual property rights, our competitive position may be harmed.

•

We use AI in our business, and challenges with properly managing its use could result in reputational harm, competitive harm, and legal liability, and adversely affect our results of operations.

Implication of Being a Smaller Reporting Company

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of any fiscal year for so long as either (1) the market value of our shares of Common Stock held by non-affiliates does not equal or exceed $250 million as of the prior June 30th, or (2) our annual revenues did not equal or exceed $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our shares of Common Stock held by non-affiliates did not equal or exceed $700 million as of the prior June 30th. To the extent we take advantage of any reduced disclosure obligations, it may make comparison of our financial statements with other public companies difficult or impossible.

Corporate Information

Our corporate history began in April 2006 with the formation of Elminda Ltd, a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel, for the purpose of developing a system to provide clinicians with an objective assessment of brain function to support better outcomes for people with mental illnesses and cognitive disorders. On November 15, 2023, we entered into the Merger Agreement with WaveDancer and FFN, and on August 12, 2024, FFN merged with and into Private Firefly, with Private Firefly surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of WaveDancer. On the Closing Date (i) pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of WaveDancer, we changed our name to “Firefly Neuroscience, Inc.,” (ii) pursuant to an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation, Private Firefly changed its name to Firefly Neuroscience 2023, Inc. and (iii) Private Firefly and FFN filed the Certificate of Merger with the State of Delaware.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before you make a decision to buy our securities, in addition to the risks and uncertainties discussed above under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below together with all of the other information contained in this prospectus, including our financial statements and related notes appearing at the end of this prospectus and in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” before deciding to invest in our securities. If any of the events or developments described below were to occur, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition could suffer materially, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also adversely affect our business.

Risks Related to our Business, Operations, and Industry

We have engaged, and may continue to engage, in strategic acquisitions or transactions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Acquisitions involve a number of risks, including diversion of management’s attention, ability to finance the acquisition on attractive terms, failure to retain key personnel or valuable customers, legal liabilities, the need to amortize acquired intangible assets, and intellectual property ownership and infringement risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Any additional future acquisitions may also result in the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance of additional equity securities.

We could also experience financial or other setbacks if transactions encounter unanticipated problems, including problems related to governmental approval, execution, integration or underperformance relative to prior expectations. Acquisitions may not result in long-term benefits to us or we may not be able to further develop the acquired business in the manner we anticipated.

Following the completion of acquisitions, we may have to rely on the seller to provide administrative and other support, including financial reporting and internal controls, and other transition services to the acquired business for a period of time. There can be no assurance that the seller will do so in a manner that is acceptable to us.

We may not realize the anticipated benefits of past or future acquisitions and integration of these acquisitions may disrupt our business.

On April 30, 2025, we completed the acquisition of the Evoke Neuroscience Inc ("Evoke"), which resulted in our acquisition of the Evoke business and a significant expansion of our business operations and headcount. In the future, we may acquire additional companies, project pipelines, products, or technologies, or enter into joint ventures or other strategic initiatives. Our ability as an organization to integrate acquisitions is unproven. We may not realize the anticipated benefits of our acquisitions or any other future acquisition or the acquisition may be viewed negatively by customers, financial markets or investors.

Any acquisition has numerous risks, including, but not limited to, the following:

●

difficulty in assimilating the operations and personnel of the acquired company;

●

difficulty in effectively integrating the acquired technologies or products with current products and technologies;

●

difficulty in maintaining controls, procedures and policies during the transition and integration;

●

disruption of ongoing business and distraction of management and employees from other opportunities and challenges due to integration issues;

●

difficulty integrating the acquired company’s accounting, management information and other administrative systems;

●

inability to retain key technical and managerial personnel of the acquired business;

●

inability to retain key customers, vendors, and other business partners of the acquired business;

●

inability to achieve the financial and strategic goals for the acquired and combined businesses;

●

incurring acquisition-related costs or amortization costs for acquired intangible assets that could impact operating results;

●

failure of due diligence processes to identify significant issues with product quality, legal and financial liabilities, among other things;

●

inability to assert that internal controls over financial reporting are effective; and

●

inability to obtain, or obtain in a timely manner, approvals from governmental authorities, which could delay or prevent such acquisitions.

●

inability to rebuild trust with home builders due to the SunPower bankruptcy.

●

inability to obtain advantageous financing arrangements with financiers in order to pass the saving on to customers.

We are facing significant liquidity risks that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have incurred recurring losses and experienced negative cash flows from operations since our inception, and we may continue to incur operating losses. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $87.1 million and negative cash flows from operating activities of approximately $6.2 million. We have generated minimal revenue to date, and our ability to generate recurring revenue depends on the successful commercialization of our BNA Platform, which remains in the early stages of market adoption.

Our financial position raises significant liquidity concerns. Our existing capital resources may be insufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months, and we may be unable to realize our assets or discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. To mitigate these risks, we are actively pursuing additional capital through equity or debt financings and implementing cost-reduction measures. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to secure such funding on favorable terms or at all. Failure to obtain additional financing would materially and adversely affect our ability to continue operations and could force us to delay, reduce, or eliminate our commercialization efforts, product development activities, or other key initiatives.

Our continued existence is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital and ultimately achieve and maintain profitable operations. Even if we are successful in raising additional funds, our expenses may exceed expectations, or we may deplete our available capital resources more quickly than anticipated. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, includes an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may further impair our ability to raise capital and negatively impact investor confidence.

We are subject to operating risks, including excess or constrained capacity and operational inefficiencies, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

We are subject to operating risks, including excess or constrained capacity and pressure on our internal systems and personnel. In order to manage current and anticipated future operations effectively, we must continually implement and improve our operational, financial and management information systems, hire, train, motivate, manage and retain employees. We may be unable to balance near-term efforts to meet existing demand with future customer demand, including adding personnel, creating scalable, secure and robust systems and operations, and automating processes needed for long term efficiencies. Any such failure could have a material impact on our business, operations and prospects.

Our products and information technology systems are critical to our business. Issues with product development or enhancements, IT system integration, implementation, updates and upgrades could disrupt our operations and have a material impact on our business and operating results.

We rely on the efficient, uninterrupted and secure operation of our IT systems and are dependent on key third-party software embedded in our products and IT systems as well as third-party hosted IT systems to support our operations. All software and IT systems are vulnerable to damage, cyber-attacks or interruption from a variety of sources. To effectively manage and improve our operations, our IT systems and applications require an ongoing commitment of significant expenditures and resources to maintain, protect, upgrade, enhance and restore existing systems and develop new systems to keep pace with continuing changes in information processing technology, evolving industry and regulatory standards, increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, and changing consumer preferences. Failure to adequately protect and maintain the integrity of our products and IT systems may result in a material effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

We plan to continuously upgrade and issue new releases of our products and customer-facing software applications, upon which our operations depend. Software applications and products containing software frequently contain errors or defects, especially when first introduced or when new versions are released. Additionally, the third-party software integrated into or interoperable with our products and services will routinely reach end of life, and as a consequence, may be exposed to additional vulnerabilities, including increased security risks, errors and malfunctions that may be irreparable or difficult to repair. The discovery of a defect, error or security vulnerability in our products, software applications or IT systems, incompatibility with future customers’ computer operating systems and hardware configurations with a new release or upgraded version or the failure of our products or primary IT systems may cause adverse consequences, including: delay or loss of revenues, significant remediation costs, delay in market acceptance, loss of data, disclosure of financial, health or other personal information of any customers or patients, product recalls, damage to our reputation, or increased service costs, any of which could have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of our operations and the operations of our potential customers or our business partners.

Our operations and financial performance depend on global and regional economic conditions. Inflation, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, changes in consumer confidence and demand, and weakness in general economic conditions and threats, or actual recessions, could materially affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Macroeconomic conditions impact consumer confidence and discretionary spending, which could adversely affect demand for any products we bring to market. Consumer spending habits are affected by, among other things, inflation, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, weakness in general economic conditions, threats or actual recessions, pandemics, wars and military actions, levels of employment, wages, debt obligations, discretionary income, interest rates, volatility in capital, and consumer confidence and perceptions of current and future economic conditions. Changes and uncertainty can, among other things, reduce or shift spending away from treatments and procedures to address mental illness and cognitive disorders, and could drive patients and clinicians towards other options in the marketplace that may cost less than our products, reduce patient traffic in clinicians’ offices or reduce demand for services to treat mental illness and cognitive disorder generally. The recent declines in, or uncertain economic outlooks for, the U.S., European and certain other international economies has and may continue to adversely affect consumer and healthcare practice spending. The increase in the cost of fuel and energy, food and other essential items along with elevated interest rates could reduce consumers’ disposable income, resulting in less discretionary spending for products like ours. Decreases in disposable income and discretionary spending or change in consumer confidence and spending habits may adversely affect our revenues and operating results.

Inflation continues to adversely impact spending and trade activities and we are unable to predict the impacts of higher inflation on global and regional economies. Higher inflation has also increased domestic and international shipping costs, raw material prices, and labor rates, which could adversely impact the costs of producing, procuring and shipping any products we bring to market. If similar trends continue once we begin marketing our BNA Platform, our ability to recover these cost increases through price increases may have limited effectiveness, resulting in downward pressure on our operating results. Attempts to offset cost increases with price increases could reduce sales, increase customer dissatisfaction or otherwise harm our reputation. Further, we are unable to predict the impact of efforts by central banks and federal, state and local governments to combat elevated levels of inflation. If their efforts to reduce inflation are too aggressive, they may lead to a recession. Alternatively, if they are insufficient or are not sustained long enough to lower inflation to more acceptable levels, consumer spending may be adversely impacted for a prolonged period of time. Any of these events could materially affect our business and operating results.

Our business could be impacted by political events, trade and other international disputes, war, and terrorism, including the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

Political events, trade and other international disputes, war, and terrorism could harm or disrupt international commerce and the global economy and could have a material effect on our business as well as our potential customers, suppliers, contract manufacturers, distributors, and other business partners.

Political events, trade and other international disputes, wars, and terrorism can lead to unexpected tariffs or trade restrictions, which could adversely impact our business. Once we begin marketing our products, these increased costs could adversely impact our gross margin and make our products less competitive or reduce demand. Countries could also adopt other measures, such as controls on imports or exports of goods, technology or data, that could adversely impact our operations and supply chain and limit our ability to offer products and services. These measures could require us to take various actions, including changing suppliers or restructuring business relationships. Complying with new or changed trade restrictions is expensive, time-consuming and disruptive to our operations. Such restrictions can be announced with little or no advance notice and we may be unable to effectively mitigate the adverse impacts of such measures. If disputes and conflicts escalate in the future, actions by governments in response could be significantly more severe and restrictive and could materially affect our business.

Political unrest, threats, tensions, actions and responses to any social, economic, business, geopolitical, military, terrorism, or acts of war involving key commercial, development or manufacturing markets such as China, Mexico, Israel, Europe, or other countries or regions could materially impact any international operations we undertake. For example, our employees in Israel could be obligated to perform annual reserve duty in the Israeli military and be called for additional active duty under emergency circumstances. If any of these events or conditions occur, the impact on us, our employees and potential customers is uncertain, particularly if emergency circumstances, armed conflicts or an escalation in political instability or violence disrupts our product development, data or information exchange, payroll or banking operations, product or materials shipping by us or our suppliers and other unanticipated business disruptions, interruptions and limitations in telecommunication services or critical systems or applications reliant on a stable and uninterrupted communications infrastructure.

U.S. and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions and the start of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. On February 24, 2022, a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops was reported. In response to the military conflict, the United States and other North Atlantic Treaty Organization member states, as well as non-member states, announced targeted economic sanctions on Russia, including certain Russian citizens and enterprises, and the continuation of the conflict may trigger additional economic and other sanctions. The potential impacts of the conflict and related sanctions could include supply chain and logistics disruptions, macro financial impacts resulting from the exclusion of Russian financial institutions from the global banking system, volatility in foreign exchange rates and interest rates, inflationary pressures on raw materials and energy and heightened cybersecurity threats. We have no way to predict the progress or outcome of the conflict in Ukraine or the reactions by governments, businesses or consumers. A prolonged conflict, intensified military activities or more extensive sanctions impacting the region and the resulting economic impact could have a material effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, growth prospects and business outlook.

We conduct certain of our operations in Israel. Conditions in Israel, including the recent attack by Hamas and other terrorist organizations from the Gaza Strip and Israel’s war against them, may affect our operations.

We currently have seven full-time employees, who are located in and/or reside in Israel. As a result, our business and operations are directly affected by economic, political, geopolitical and military conditions in Israel. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have occurred between Israel and its neighboring countries and terrorist organizations active in the region. These conflicts have involved missile strikes, hostile infiltrations and terrorism against civilian targets in various parts of Israel, which have negatively affected business conditions in Israel.

In October 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Hamas also launched extensive rocket attacks on Israeli population and industrial centers located along Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip and in other areas within the State of Israel. These attacks resulted in extensive deaths, injuries and kidnapping of civilians and soldiers. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas and a military campaign against these terrorist organizations commenced in parallel to their continued rocket and terror attacks.

Following the October 7th attacks by Hamas terrorists in Israel’s southern border, Israel declared war against Hamas and since then, Israel has been involved in military conflicts with Hamas, Hezbollah, a terrorist organization based in Lebanon, and Iran, both directly and through proxies like the Houthi movement in Yemen and armed groups in Iraq and other terrorist organizations. Additionally, following the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, Israel has conducted limited military operations targeting the Syrian army, Iranian military assets and infrastructure linked to Hezbollah and other Iran-supported groups. The fall of the Assad regime in Syria may create geopolitical instability in the region. Although certain ceasefire agreements have been reached, and some Iranian proxies have declared a halt to their attacks, there is no assurance that these agreements will be upheld, military activity and hostilities continue to exist at varying levels of intensity, and the situation remains volatile, with the potential for escalation into a broader regional conflict involving additional terrorist organizations and possibly other countries.

In June 2025, a new round of direct hostilities broke out between Israel and Iran, involving significant missile and drone strikes exchanged between the two countries. This escalation has heightened regional instability, increased security risks across Israel, resulted in significant travel restrictions, facility closures and shelter-in-place orders, including remote work measures, in various locations, and may further impact critical infrastructure, supply chains, and the broader Israeli economy. It is possible that hostilities with Iran, Hezbollah, the Houthis and Syria will continue to escalate, and that other terrorist organizations, including Palestinian military organizations in the West Bank, will join the hostilities. In addition, Iran has threatened to continue to attack Israel, and is also widely believed to be developing nuclear weapons. Iran is also believed to have a strong influence among extremist groups in the region, such as Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen and various rebel militia groups in Syria and Iraq. These situations may potentially escalate in the future to more violent events which may affect Israel and us. Any hostilities, armed conflicts, terrorist activities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its trading partners, or any political instability in the region could adversely affect business conditions and our results of operations and could make it more difficult for us to raise capital and could adversely affect the market price of our shares. The continuation of the war has also led to a deterioration of certain indicators of Israel’s economic standing, for instance, a downgrade in Israel’s credit rating by rating agencies (such as by Moody’s, S&P Global, and Fitch). An escalation of tensions or violence might result in a significant downturn in the economic or financial condition of Israel, which could have an adverse effect on our operations in Israel and our business.

Any hostilities involving Israel could adversely affect our operations and results of operations. Shelter-in-place and work-from-home measures, government-imposed restrictions on movement and travel and other precautions taken to address the ongoing conflict may temporarily disrupt our employees’ ability to effectively perform their daily tasks.

The Israel Defense Force (the “IDF”), the national military of Israel, is a conscripted military service, subject to certain exceptions. Several of our employees are subject to military service in the IDF and have been and may be called to serve. Currently, all male adult citizens and permanent residents of Israel under the age of 40 (or older, depending on their position with the Israeli Defense Forces reserves), unless exempt, are obligated to perform military reserve duty annually and are subject to being called to active duty at any time under emergency circumstances. It is possible that there will be further or longer military reserve duty call-ups in the future, which may affect our business due to a shortage of skilled labor and loss of institutional knowledge, and necessary mitigation measures we may take to respond to a decrease in labor availability, such as overtime and third-party outsourcing, for example, which may have unintended negative effects and adversely impact our results of operations, liquidity or cash flows.

Also, in the event of sustained military conflict, civil unrest, or other disruptive events in Israel, we could face challenges in maintaining normal business operations or communicating with employees in the region. Our ability to recruit and retain talent locally could also be affected. Moreover, government-imposed restrictions, transportation shutdowns, or damage to infrastructure may inhibit our ability to conduct business activities.

While our facilities have not been damaged during the current war, the hostilities with Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran and its proxies and others have caused and may continue to cause damage to private and public facilities, infrastructure, utilities, and telecommunication networks, and potentially disrupting our operations and supply chains. In addition, Israeli organizations, government agencies and companies have been subject to extensive cyber attacks. This could lead to increased costs, risks to employee safety, and challenges to business continuity, with potential financial losses.

Our commercial insurance does not cover losses that may occur as a result of events associated with war and terrorism. Although the Israeli government currently covers the reinstatement value of direct damages that are caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, we cannot assure you that this government coverage will be maintained or that it will sufficiently cover our potential damages. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our operations may be impacted by natural disasters, which may become more frequent or severe as a result of climate change and may adversely impact our business and operating results as well as those of our potential customers and suppliers.

Natural disasters and other extreme weather events may impact us and our potential customers, as well as suppliers critical to our operations. Natural disasters include earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, droughts, hurricanes, wildfires, and other extreme weather conditions that can cause deaths, injuries, and critical health crises, power outages, restrictions and shortages of food, water, shelter, and medical supplies, telecommunications failures, materials scarcity, price volatility and other ramifications.

The frequency and severity of such events can vary over time and by region. Regardless of their cause, natural disasters and extreme weather may pose ongoing operational and financial risks to us and others within our supply chain. These events can lead to facility shutdowns, shipping and logistics disruptions, increased insurance or operating costs, and potential loss of revenue.

In addition, changes in the broader economic environment due to environmental factors may affect the supply, demand, or availability of energy and other critical resources used in our operations. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Risks Related to the BNA Platform

If we are not successful in enhancing awareness of our BNA Platform, driving adoption across our current target population and expanding the population of eligible patients, our sales, business, financial condition and results of operations will be negatively affected.

Our business currently depends primarily on our ability to successfully market our BNA Platform, which involves successfully launching our commercialization program, increasing adoption of and driving utilization our BNA Platform by target clinicians, namely neurologists in the United States. We are aiming to increase awareness about our BNA Platform, as well as grow the number of clinicians that utilize our BNA Platform after the launch of our commercialization program, but there can be no assurance that we will succeed.

The commercial success of our BNA Platform will continue to depend on a number of factors, including the following:

●

the actual and perceived effectiveness and clinical benefit, of our BNA Platform;

●

the prevalence and severity of any adverse patient events involving our BNA Platform;

●

our ability to provide earlier awareness of and education about our BNA Platform to patients and clinicians;

●

the degree to which clinicians and patients adopt our BNA Platform;

●

the availability, relative cost and perceived advantages and disadvantages of alternative technologies or treatment methods for cognitive disorders;

●

the results of future clinical and other studies relating to the health, economic or other benefits of our BNA Platform;

●

whether key thought leaders in the medical community accept that our future clinical utility is sufficiently meaningful to influence their decision to adopt our BNA Platform;

●

the extent to which we are successful in educating clinicians and patients about the benefits of our BNA Platform;

●

our reputation among clinicians and patients;

●

our ability to predict product performance;

●

the strength of our marketing and distribution infrastructure, including our ability to drive adoption and utilization of our BNA Platform;

●

our ability to obtain, maintain, protect, enforce and defend our intellectual property rights, including those covering our BNA Platform;

●

our ability to maintain compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements, including those applicable to our BNA Platform; and

●

our ability to continue to attract and retain key talent.

Our commercial success will depend in large part on the future adoption of the BNA Platform into patient work streams in clinics. We cannot predict how quickly, if at all, clinicians and patients will adopt our BNA Platform. Moreover, we cannot predict how quickly, if at all, those currently living with mental illness or cognitive disorders but who are not being treated will seek treatment. Our ability to grow sales of our BNA Platform and drive market acceptance will depend on successfully educating clinicians and patients of the relative benefits of our BNA Platform. If we are unable to successfully drive interest in our BNA Platform, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be harmed.

We may be unable to compete successfully with competitive technologies, which could harm our sales, business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our industry is competitive and has been evolving rapidly. Our BNA Platform is indicated for use in in individuals 12 to 85 years of age for the post-hoc statistical analysis of the human electroencephalogram, including event-related potentials.

Our initial market entry strategy is focused on neurologists in the United States. Once we commence a broad commercialization program of our BNA Platform, we will face competition in the market for our BNA Platform from competing technologies, and we expect competition from new companies that may enter the market or introduce new technologies in the future. Third-party payors may encourage the use of competitors’ products due to lower costs of competing products or alternatives. Additionally, treating neurologists may promote the use of other competitors’ products or alternative therapies.

Our current and future competitors may include large, well-capitalized companies with significant market share and resources. They may have more established sales and marketing programs than we do and have greater name recognition. In addition to competing for market share, competitors may develop or acquire patents or other rights that may limit our ability to compete.

We believe that the competitive advantages of our BNA Platform will be important factors in our future success. Our continued success depends on, among other things, our ability to:

●

successfully launch our commercialization program to target clinicians (i.e. neurologists in the United States);

●

drive awareness to increase the number of mental illness and cognitive impairment patients referred to target clinicians, namely neurologists in the United States;

●

attract and retain skilled research, development, sales, marketing and clinical personnel;

●

continue to innovate in order to improve our BNA Platform and enhance the patient and provider experience;

●

adequately predict product performance;

●

obtain and maintain regulatory clearances and approvals, including for expanded indications;

●

cost-effectively market and sell our BNA Platform;

●

obtain, maintain, protect, enforce and defend our intellectual property rights and operate our business without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of others; and

●

acquire products or technologies complementary to or necessary for our business.

The medical device industry is intensely competitive, subject to rapid change and significantly affected by new product introductions and other market activities of industry participants. There can be no assurance that other companies or institutions will not succeed in developing or marketing devices and products that are more effective than our BNA Platform or that would render our BNA Platform obsolete or noncompetitive.

Patient and product variability may produce misleading BNA results.

Misled clinical decision due to incorrect score results is a known risk and is continually mitigated. EEG is subject to external “noise” or artifact that contaminates waveforms such as Electrical grid; nearby medical/other devices which cause interference in frequencies near EEG frequencies., or excessive patient movement. Artifact-free data cannot always be guaranteed. This variability may lead to customer dissatisfaction which could harm our sales, business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Use of our BNA Platform requires appropriate training and inadequate training may lead to negative clinician experiences, which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The successful use of our BNA Platform depends in part on the training and skill of the clinician performing EEG recording and reading BNA reports. Clinicians could experience difficulty interpreting the results of BNA reports. Moreover, clinicians rely on their previous medical training and experience when recommending or utilizing our BNA Platform, and we cannot guarantee that all clinicians will have the necessary skills to properly utilize the BNA Platform. We cannot be certain that clinicians that will use our BNA Platform will have received sufficient training, and clinicians who have not received adequate training may nonetheless attempt to use our BNA Platform with their patients. If clinicians utilize our BNA Platform incorrectly, or without adhering to or completing all relevant training, their patient outcomes may not be consistent with the outcomes achieved in our research studies and any future clinical studies. Adverse safety outcomes that arise from improper or incorrect use of our BNA Platform may negatively impact the perception of patient benefit and the safety of our BNA Platform, notwithstanding results from our research studies and any future clinical studies. These results could limit adoption of our BNA Platform, which would harm our sales, business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We are highly dependent on our senior management team and key personnel, and our business could be harmed if we are unable to attract and retain personnel necessary for our success.

We are highly dependent on our senior management and key personnel. Our success will depend on our ability to retain senior management and to attract and retain qualified personnel in the future, including sales and marketing professionals, engineers, scientists, data science specialists and other highly skilled personnel and to integrate current and additional personnel in all departments.

Competition for skilled personnel in our market is intense and may limit our ability to hire and retain highly qualified personnel on acceptable terms, or at all. To induce valuable employees to remain at our company, in addition to salary and cash incentives, we have issued stock options that vest over time, restricted share units subject to vesting conditions, and certain performance warrants. The value to employees of stock options that vest over time may be significantly affected by fluctuations in our stock price that are beyond our control, and may at any time be insufficient to counteract more lucrative offers from other companies. Despite our efforts to retain valuable employees, members of our management and other key personnel may terminate their employment with us on short notice. Our employment arrangements with our employees provide for at-will employment, which means that any of our employees could leave our employment at any time, with or without notice. We also do not maintain “key man” insurance policies on the lives of these individuals or the lives of any of our other employees.

As we launch the commercialization program for our BNA Platforms, expand our product offerings in the future and increase our future marketing efforts, we will need to build and expand the reach of our marketing and sales networks. Our future success will depend largely on our ability to continue to hire, train, retain and motivate skilled employees with significant technical knowledge in various areas. An inability to attract, hire, train and retain employees will harm our sales, business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We expect to increase the size of our organization in the future, and we may experience difficulties in managing the operational elements or timing of this growth. If we are unable to manage or appropriately time the anticipated growth of our business, our future revenue and operating results may be harmed.

As of the date of this prospectus, we have twenty full time employees and two contractors. As our sales and marketing strategies evolve and as we launch commercialization of our BNA Platform, we may need additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial and other personnel. Future growth would impose significant added responsibilities on members of management, including:

●

identifying, recruiting, integrating, maintaining and motivating additional employees;

●

managing our internal development efforts effectively, while complying with our contractual obligations to contractors and other third parties; and

●

improving our operational, financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures.

Our future financial performance and our ability to successfully market and sell our BNA Platform will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively manage or time any future growth, and our management may also have to divert a disproportionate amount of attention away from day-to-day activities in order to devote a substantial amount of time to managing these growth activities.

As demand for our BNA Platform increases in the future, we will need to expand customer service, billing and systems processes and enhance our internal quality assurance program. We cannot be certain that any increases in scale, related improvements and quality assurance will be successfully implemented or that appropriate personnel will be available to facilitate the growth of our business. If we encounter difficulty meeting market demand, quality standards or clinician expectations, our reputation will be harmed and our business will suffer. Additionally, additional growth may result in higher fixed costs and may slow our ability to reduce costs in the face of a sudden decline in demand for our products.

We may not be able to achieve or maintain satisfactory pricing and margins for our BNA Platform, which could harm our business and results of operations.

The medical device industry has a history of price competition, and we can give no assurance that we will be able to maintain satisfactory prices for our BNA Platform or any future products at competitive levels. The pricing of our products could be impacted by several factors, including pressure to reduce prices by our customers due to a decline in the amount that third-party payors reimburse for EEG tests for clinicians utilizing our BNA Platform. If we are forced to lower or are unable to increase the price we charge for our BNA Platform, our gross margins will decrease, which will harm our ability to invest in and grow our business. If we are unable to maintain our prices, or if our costs increase and we are unable to offset such increase with an increase in our prices, our margins could erode, which could harm our business and results of operations.

Future sales of our BNA Platform may depend on healthcare providers’ or patients’ ability to obtain reimbursement from third-party payors, such as insurance carriers.

Future sales of our BNA Platform may depend on healthcare providers’ or patients’ ability to obtain reimbursement from third-party payors, such as insurance carriers. Where such insurance or third-party reimbursement becomes available in the future, any reduction in insurance or other third-party payor reimbursement for our BNA Platform may cause negative price pressure, which would reduce our revenues. Without a corresponding reduction in the cost to produce such products, the result would be a reduction in our overall gross profit. Similarly, any increase in the cost of such products would reduce our overall gross profit unless there was a corresponding increase in third-party payor reimbursement. Failure by our patients or healthcare provider customers to obtain or maintain coverage or to secure adequate reimbursement for our treatment by third-party payors could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our results of operations may be harmed if we are unable to accurately forecast clinician demand for our BNA Platform or any future products.

Our ability to accurately forecast demand for our BNA Platform or our future our products could be negatively affected by many factors, including our failure to accurately manage our expansion strategy, product introductions by competitors, our inability to forecast the lifecycle of our products, an increase or decrease in customer demand for our products or for competitor products, our failure to accurately forecast customer adoption of new products, unanticipated changes in general market conditions or regulatory matters and weakening of economic conditions or consumer confidence in future economic conditions. Inventory levels in excess of customer demand may result in inventory write-downs or write-offs, which would cause our gross margin to be adversely affected and could impair the strength of our brand, which may negatively affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Adoption of our BNA Platform depends on positive clinical data as well as clinician acceptance of the data and our products, and negative clinical data or perceptions among these clinicians would harm our sales, business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The rate of adoption and sales of our products is heavily influenced by clinical data. Although we have positive research data from a 2023 white paper study, there can be no assurance that future clinical studies, including those to demonstrate the efficacy of our BNA Platform or future products in current target patient populations and those to support label retention and expansion for our products, will demonstrate clinical utility and effectiveness. Unfavorable or inconsistent clinical data from future clinical studies conducted by us, our competitors, or third parties, or the negative interpretation of our clinical data internally and externally, including by customers, competitors, patients, and regulators could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The rate of adoption and sales of our products are also influenced by clinician perceptions. Negative perceptions of our products by clinicians, including due to negative clinical data, could result in decreased adoption or use of our products, which would harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Further, if we are not able to attain strong working relationships with clinicians and receive their advice and input, the marketing of our products could suffer, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our future success also depends upon patients having an experience with our products that meets their expectations in order to increase clinician demand for our products as a result of positive feedback and word-of-mouth. Patients may be dissatisfied if their expectations of the BNA Platform are not met or if the performing clinicians are not adequately trained on use of our BNA Platform. If the results of our products do not meet the expectations of the patient it could discourage the patient and/or their healthcare provider from continuing to use our device or referring our products to others. Dissatisfied patients may express negative opinions through social media, advocacy, or other publicity. Any failure to meet patient expectations and any resulting negative publicity could harm our reputation and future sales.

We may acquire businesses or products, or form strategic alliances, in the future, and may not realize the benefits of such acquisitions.

We may acquire additional businesses or products, form strategic alliances, or create joint ventures with third parties that we believe will complement or augment our existing business. If we acquire businesses with promising markets or technologies, we may not be able to realize the benefit of acquiring such businesses if we are unable to successfully integrate them with its existing operations and company culture. We may encounter numerous difficulties in developing, manufacturing, and marketing any new products resulting from a strategic alliance or acquisition that delay or prevent it from realizing our expected benefits or enhancing our business. There is no assurance that, following any such acquisition, we will achieve the synergies expected to justify the transaction, which could result in a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.

Risks Related to Legal, Regulatory and Compliance Matters

Complying with regulations enforced by FDA and other regulatory authorities is expensive and time consuming, and failure to comply could result in substantial penalties.

Our product, the BNA Platform (for which we have obtained FDA 510(k) clearance), and our future products are considered medical devices and, accordingly, are subject to rigorous regulation by government agencies in the U.S. and other countries in which we intend to sell our products. Compliance with these rigorous regulations will affect capital expenditures, earnings and the competitive position of the Company. These regulations vary from country to country but cover, among other things, the following activities with respect to medical devices:

●

design, development and manufacturing;

●

testing, labeling, content and language of instructions for use and storage;

●

product storage and safety;

●

marketing, sales and distribution;

●

pre-market clearance and approval;

●

record keeping procedures;

●

advertising and promotion;

●

recalls and field safety corrective actions;

●

post-market surveillance;

●

post-market approval studies; and

●

product import and export.

The regulations to which we are subject are complex. Regulatory changes could result in restrictions on our ability to carry on or expand our operations, higher than anticipated costs, or lower than anticipated sales. Our failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could result in enforcement action by FDA or state agencies, which may include any of the following sanctions:

●

warning letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees, and civil penalties;

●

repair, replacement, refunds, recall, or seizure of our products;

●

operating restrictions or partial suspension or total shutdown of production;

●

refusing our requests for 510(k) clearance or pre-market approval of new products, new intended uses, or modifications to existing products;

●

withdrawing clearance or pre-market approvals that have already been granted; and

●

criminal prosecution.

If any of these events were to occur, they could harm our business.

We may not receive the necessary authorizations to market our BNA Platform or any future new products, and any failure to timely do so may adversely affect our ability to grow our business.

Before we can sell a new medical device in the U.S., or market a new use of, new claim for, or significant modification to a legally marketed device, we must first obtain either FDA 510(k) clearance or approval, unless an exemption applies. In the 510(k) clearance process, before a device may be marketed, the applicant must submit a premarket notification to FDA under Section 510(k) of the FD&C Act, and FDA must determine that a proposed device is “substantially equivalent” to a legally-marketed “predicate” device. To be “substantially equivalent,” the proposed device must have the same intended use as the predicate device, and either have the same technological characteristics as the predicate device or have different technological characteristics, not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness than the predicate device, and be as safe and as effective as the predicate device. The 510(k) clearance process can be expensive and uncertain and typically takes from three to 12 months, but may last significantly longer. Clinical data may be required in connection with an application for 510(k) clearance. Furthermore, even if we are granted regulatory clearances or approvals, they may include limitations on the indications for use or intended uses of the device, which may limit the market for the device.

Our BNA Platform is a Class II medical device, which was cleared by FDA for commercialization in the U.S. pursuant to the 510(k) notification process for the post-hoc statistical analysis of the human electroencephalogram in December 2020 for use in individuals 12 to 85 years of age.

FDA can delay, limit, or deny 510(k) clearance, or other approval or reclassification, of a device for many reasons, including:

●

we may be unable to demonstrate to FDA’s satisfaction that the products or modifications are substantially equivalent to a proposed predicate device or safe and effective for their intended uses;

●

we may be unable to demonstrate that the clinical and other benefits of the device outweigh the risks; and

●

the applicable regulatory authority may identify deficiencies in our submissions or in the facilities or processes of our third party contract manufacturers.

Any delay or failure to obtain necessary regulatory clearances or approvals could harm our business. For example, if we decide to market the BNA Platform for a broader or additional indication(s) for use and/or make any material modifications to any element of the device and/or the manufacturing or distribution thereof in the future, an additional 510(k) submission, and FDA clearance thereof, will be required prior to making any promotional communications expressly or impliedly claiming that the device may be used for such indication(s) and/or prior to making such modification, respectively.

In addition, FDA may change its policies, adopt additional regulations, revise existing regulations, or take other actions, or Congress may enact different or additional statutory requirements, which may prevent or delay clearance of our future products under development or impact our ability to modify our currently marketed products on a timely basis. Such policy, statutory, or regulatory changes could impose additional requirements upon us that could delay our ability to obtain new 510(k) clearances, increase the costs of compliance, or restrict our ability to maintain our current marketing authorizations.

We received our European CE mark, indicating that we affirm our product’s conformity with European health, safety and environmental protection standards, in 2021. We will also need to obtain regulatory approval in other foreign jurisdictions in which we plan to market and sell our products. The time required to obtain registrations or approvals, if required by other countries, may be longer than that required for FDA clearance, and requirements for such registrations, clearances, or approvals may significantly differ from FDA requirements. If we modify our products, we may need to apply for additional regulatory approvals before we are permitted to sell the modified product. In addition, we may not continue to meet the quality and safety standards required to maintain the authorizations that we have received. If we are unable to maintain our authorizations in a particular country, we will no longer be able to sell the applicable product in that country.

Failure to comply with these rules, regulations, self-regulatory codes, circulars, and orders could result in significant civil and criminal penalties and costs and could have a material adverse impact on our business. Also, these regulations may be interpreted or applied by a prosecutorial, regulatory, or judicial authority in a manner that could require us to make changes in our operations or incur substantial defense and settlement expenses. Even unsuccessful challenges by regulatory authorities or private relators could result in reputational harm and the incurring of substantial costs. In addition, many of these laws are vague or indefinite and have not been interpreted by the courts and have been subject to frequent modification and varied interpretation by prosecutorial and regulatory authorities, increasing compliance risks.

Certain modifications to our products may require new 510(k) clearance or other marketing authorizations.

Once a medical device is permitted to be legally marketed in the U.S. pursuant to a 510(k) clearance, a medical device developer may be required to notify FDA of certain modifications to the device. Medical device developers determine in the first instance whether a change to a product requires a new premarket submission, but FDA may review any such decision.

While our BNA Platform received 510(k) clearance in December 2020, we may in the future apply for 510(k) clearance for updated components of our BNA Platform, which must, then, be found by the FDA to be substantially equivalent to the cleared BNA Platform and, thus, may not be lawfully marketed in the U.S. until FDA make a substantial equivalence determination and issues the requisite 510(k) clearance for the updated BNA Platform. Although the development of our BNA Platform has been carefully monitored and documented by professionals who are experienced in the FDA clearance process, there is no assurance that the FDA will agree that an updated component of our BNA Platform is substantially equivalent to the cleared BNA Platform and allow the updated BNA Platform to be marketed in the United States. The FDA may determine that the device is not substantially equivalent and require a premarket approval (“PMA”) or, more likely, a de novo reclassification, and/or require further information, such as additional test data, including data from clinical studies, before it is able to make a determination regarding substantial equivalence. By requesting additional information, the FDA can delay market introduction of an updated BNA Platform. Delays in receipt of or failure to receive any necessary 510(k) clearance, de novo classification, or PMA, or the imposition of stringent restrictions for our BNA Platform, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In the future, we may make other modifications to our products, including our BNA Platform, and determine, based on our review of the applicable FDA regulations and guidance, that in certain instances new 510(k) clearances or other premarket submissions are not required. If FDA disagrees with our determinations, we may be subject to a wide range of enforcement actions, including, for example, a warning letter, among other consequences, after which we will likely have to cease marketing the applicable modified product and/or to recall distributed units of such modified product until we obtain the requisite clearance or approval.

Our acquisition of Evoke increases our exposure to 510(k) regulatory risks due to the expansion of our medical device portfolio.

With our recent acquisition of Evoke, we have expanded our product portfolio to include additional medical devices that are subject to regulation by the FDA under the 510(k) premarket notification process. As a result, we are now responsible for ensuring ongoing regulatory compliance, post-market surveillance, and reporting obligations for multiple Class II medical devices, including both our BNA Platform and the products acquired from Evoke. This expansion increases our exposure to FDA 510(k) regulatory risks in several ways. Each product line may have unique technical characteristics, intended uses, and regulatory histories, which increases the complexity of our compliance management and the likelihood of regulatory scrutiny. Any compliance issue, adverse event, or regulatory deficiency associated with any product in our expanded portfolio could trigger FDA enforcement actions, including warning letters, product recalls, or withdrawal of marketing clearance, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Furthermore, modifications to any of the acquired products, or efforts to expand their indications for use, may require new 510(k) submissions, increasing the risk of delays, denials, or additional data requirements from the FDA. The integration of Evoke’s regulatory processes and quality systems into our existing compliance infrastructure may also present challenges, and any gaps or deficiencies in Evoke’s historical compliance could expose us to legacy risks or require remediation efforts. As a result, the addition of Evoke’s products to our portfolio has heightened our overall risk profile with respect to FDA 510(k) regulatory compliance, and any failure to effectively manage these increased risks could have a material adverse effect on our ability to commercialize our products and achieve our strategic objectives.

Ongoing changes in healthcare regulation could negatively affect our revenues, business and financial condition.

The United States healthcare system has been continually evolving at the federal and state level due to comprehensive reforms relating to the payment for, the availability of and reimbursement for healthcare services. Key reforms have ranged from fundamentally changing federal and state healthcare reimbursement programs, including providing comprehensive healthcare coverage to the public under government-funded programs, to minor modifications to existing programs, and many have been challenged (with some being overturned or modified) along the way. One example, among countless others, is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “Affordable Care Act”), which was the most significant federal healthcare reform law enacted in the U.S. in recent history. The Affordable Care Act has undergone substantial challenges and changes since its enactment in 2010, and numerous other federal healthcare reform legislation, executive orders, and judicial rulings have been implemented in the years since, most of which have been or are aimed at lowering healthcare costs in the U.S. To the extent any such reform measures or any future initiatives reduce reimbursement or coverage eligibility or any amounts or funds available (such as by reductions in reimbursement to our healthcare provider customers) for our BNA Platform and/or any future products we may market in the U.S. (if any), our business may be adversely affected.

Healthcare reform initiatives will continue to be proposed and may reduce healthcare related funding. It is impossible to predict the ultimate content and timing of any healthcare reform legislation and its resulting impact on us. If significant reforms are made to the healthcare system in the United States, or in other jurisdictions, those reforms may increase our costs or otherwise negatively effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

On April 5, 2017, the European Parliament passed the Medical Devices Regulation (Regulation 2017/745), which repeals and replaces the EU Medical Device Directive and became effective on May 26, 2021. The Medical Devices Regulation, among other things, is intended to establish a uniform, transparent, predictable, and sustainable regulatory framework across the EEA for medical devices and ensure a high level of safety and health while supporting innovation. The new regulations, among other things:

●

strengthen the rules on placing devices on the market and reinforce surveillance once they are available;

●

establish explicit provisions on manufacturers’ responsibilities for the follow-up of the quality, performance and safety of devices placed on the market;

●

improve the traceability of medical devices throughout the supply chain to the end-user or patient through a unique identification number;

●

set up a central database to provide patients, healthcare professionals and the public with comprehensive information on products available in the European Union; and

●

strengthen rules for the assessment of certain high-risk devices, such as implants, which may have to undergo an additional check by experts before they are placed on the market.

These modifications may have an effect on the way we conduct our business in the EEA.

Any change in the laws or regulations that govern the clearance and approval processes relating to our current, planned and future products could make it more difficult and costly to obtain clearance or approval for new products or to produce, market and distribute existing products. Significant delays in receiving clearance or approval or the failure to receive clearance or approval for our new products would have an adverse effect on our ability to expand our business.

Our products may contribute to adverse medical events that we are required to report to FDA and other governmental authorities, and if we fail to do so, we would be subject to sanctions that could harm our reputation, business, results of operations, and financial condition. The discovery of serious safety issues with our products, or a recall of our products either voluntarily or at the direction of FDA or another governmental authority, could have a negative impact on us.

We are required to timely file various reports with FDA, including reports required by the medical device reporting regulations which require us to report to FDA when we receive or become aware of information that reasonably suggests that one of our products may have contributed to a death or serious injury or malfunctioned in a way that, if the malfunction were to recur in the device or a similar device that we market, could contribute to a death or serious injury. If we fail to comply with our reporting obligations, FDA or other governmental authorities could take action, including warning letters, untitled letters, administrative actions, criminal prosecution, imposition of civil monetary penalties, revocation of our device clearance, seizure of our products, or delay in clearance of future products. FDA and certain foreign regulatory bodies have the authority to require the recall of commercialized products under certain circumstances.

A government-mandated or voluntary recall by us could occur as a result of an unacceptable risk to health, component failures, malfunctions, labeling or design deficiencies, packaging defects, or other deficiencies, or failures to comply with applicable regulations. If we do not adequately address problems associated with our devices, we may face additional regulatory requirements or enforcement action, including required new marketing authorizations, FDA warning letters, product seizure, injunctions, administrative penalties, or civil or criminal proceedings.

We may initiate voluntary withdrawals, removals, or corrections for our products in the future that we determine do not require notification of FDA because no material compliance issue or safety risk is involved. If FDA disagrees with our determinations, it could require us to report those actions and we may be subject to enforcement action. A future recall announcement or other corrective action could harm our financial results and reputation, potentially lead to product liability claims against us, require the dedication of our time and capital, and negatively affect our sales.

In addition, FDA’s and other regulatory authorities’ policies may change, and additional government regulations may be enacted that could prevent, limit, or delay regulatory approval of our future products. For example, in November 2018, FDA announced that it plans to develop proposals to drive manufacturers utilizing the 510(k) pathway toward the use of newer predicates. It is unclear the extent to which any proposals, if adopted, could impose additional regulatory requirements on us that could delay our ability to obtain new 510(k) clearances, increase the costs of compliance, or restrict our ability to maintain our current clearances.

We also cannot predict the likelihood, nature, or extent of government regulation that may arise from future legislation or administrative or executive action, either in the U.S. or abroad. For example, the Trump Administration previously enacted several executive actions that could impose significant burdens on, or otherwise materially delay, FDA’s ability to engage in routine regulatory and oversight activities. It is difficult to predict how these executive actions and executive actions that may be taken under the Biden Administration may affect FDA’s ability to exercise its regulatory authority. If these executive actions impose constraints on FDA’s ability to engage in oversight and implementation activities in the normal course, our business may be negatively impacted.

Changes in internet regulations could adversely affect our business.

Laws, rules, and regulations governing internet communications, advertising, and e-commerce are dynamic, and the extent of future government regulation is uncertain. Federal and state regulations govern various aspects of our online business, including intellectual property ownership and infringement, trade secrets, the distribution of electronic communications, marketing and advertising, user privacy and data security, search engines, and internet tracking technologies. Future taxation on the use of the internet or e-commerce transactions could also be imposed. Existing or future regulation or taxation could increase our operating expenses and expose us to significant liabilities.

Disruptions at the FDA, other agencies or notified bodies caused by funding shortages or global health concerns could hinder their ability to hire, retain, or deploy key leadership and other personnel, or otherwise prevent new or modified products from being developed, cleared or approved, or commercialized in a timely manner, or at all, which could negatively impact our business.

The ability of the FDA, other agencies and notified bodies to review and authorize or certify for marketing new products can be affected by a variety of factors, including government budget and funding levels, statutory, regulatory and policy changes, agency’s or notified body’s ability to hire and retain key personnel and accept the payment of user fees, and other events that may otherwise affect the agency’s or notified body’s ability to perform routine functions. Average review times at the FDA and other agencies and notified bodies have fluctuated in recent years as a result. In addition, government funding of other government agencies that fund research and development activities is subject to the political process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable. Disruptions at the FDA, other agencies and notified bodies may also slow the time necessary for new medical devices or modifications to be reviewed and/or cleared, approved or certified by necessary agencies or notified bodies, which would adversely affect our business. For example, over the last several years, the U.S. government has shut down several times and certain regulatory agencies, such as the FDA, have had to furlough critical FDA employees and stop critical activities. In addition, in recent years, the FDA postponed most inspections of domestic and foreign manufacturing facilities at various points in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. If a prolonged government shutdown occurs, or if global health concerns, including pandemics, were to prevent the FDA or other regulatory authorities from conducting their regular inspections, reviews, or other regulatory activities, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA or other regulatory authorities to timely review and process our regulatory submissions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

In the EU, notified bodies must be officially designated to certify products and services in accordance with the MDR, which regulates the development and sale of medical devices in Europe. While several notified bodies have been designated, the COVID-19 pandemic significantly slowed down their designation process and the current designated notified bodies are facing a large amount of requests with the new regulation, as a consequence of which review times have lengthened although a regulation amending the EU MDR was adopted in March 2023, extending existing transitional provisions to December 31, 2028. This situation could significantly impact the ability of notified bodies to timely review and process our regulatory submissions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business in the EU and EEA (which consists of the 27 EU member states plus Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland).

The misuse or off-label use of our BNA Platform may harm our reputation in the marketplace, result in injuries that lead to product liability suits or result in costly investigations, fines or sanctions by regulatory bodies, particularly if we are deemed to have engaged in the promotion of these uses, any of which could be costly to our business.

Our BNA Platform is a Class II medical device cleared by FDA for commercialization in the U.S. pursuant to the 510(k) notification process for the post-hoc statistical analysis of the human electroencephalogram in December 2020 for use in individuals 12 to 85 years of age. We, thus, are not currently able to promote the BNA Platform for any other indications for use or make any promotional claims that are inconsistent with, or outside the scope of, such FDA clearance (often referred to as “off-label” claims). However, the assessment of whether a given claim is or is not consistent with a given FDA clearance or approval can often be subjective, and we cannot guarantee that FDA will always agree with our position regarding a particular claim or that all of our employees, representatives, and agents will abide by our marketing policies. If FDA determines that we have promoted any product without the requisite clearance or approval and/or for an off-label or unapproved use, it could take any number of enforcement actions against us, including (among others), issuing untitled or warning letters and/or pursuing an injunction, seizure, civil fine and/or criminal penalties. It is also possible that other federal, state or foreign enforcement authorities might take action under other regulatory authority, such as laws prohibiting false claims for reimbursement, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and/or business as a whole.

Additionally, we must have competent and reliable scientific evidence or, where applicable, other adequate substantiation for each reasonable interpretation of every promotional claim we make. In particular, comparative or superiority claims generally require adequate, well controlled, head-to-head clinical studies, comparing the product to the applicable competing products. To the extent we make any claims, or are otherwise held responsible for third-party claims about any product we may market in the United States, without the requisite clinical substantiation, we could be subject to enforcement action by FDA and/or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), as well as a competitor challenge via the National Advertising Division (NAD) of the Better Business Bureau. Our plans to utilize social media as a primary promotional tool for our device(s) increases the applicable enforcement risk, as it makes it easier for our employees, affiliates, and any third parties with which we may have a relationship and/or arrangement under which we are deemed responsible for such party’s claims about our product(s) to disseminate promotional claims about our product(s) that may be inconsistent with applicable regulations governing device promotions. Further, consumers can bring private false-advertising lawsuits, including class actions, against us for any material misrepresentations and/or deceptive or unsubstantiated claims (among other similar causes of action) in our promotional materials or other advertising. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We may be subject to certain federal, state, and foreign fraud and abuse laws, health information privacy and security laws, and transparency laws, which, if violated, could subject us to substantial penalties. Additionally, any challenge to or investigation into our practices under these laws could cause adverse publicity and be costly to respond to, and thus could harm our business.

There are numerous U.S. federal and state, as well as foreign, laws pertaining to healthcare fraud and abuse, including anti-kickback, false claims, and physician transparency laws. Efforts to ensure that our business arrangements with third parties will comply with applicable healthcare laws and regulations may involve substantial costs. Our business practices and relationships with providers and patients are subject to scrutiny under these laws. We may also be subject to patient information privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states and foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct our business. The healthcare laws and regulations that may affect our ability to operate include:

●

the federal healthcare Medicare and Medicaid Patient Protection Act of 1987 (the “Anti-Kickback Statute”), which prohibits, among other things, persons, and entities from knowingly and willfully soliciting, offering, receiving or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, in cash or in kind, to induce or reward either the referral of an individual for, or the purchase, lease, order, or arrange for or recommend a good or service, for which payment may be made, in whole or in part, under federal healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid. The term “remuneration” has been broadly interpreted to include anything of value. The government can establish a violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute without proving that a person or entity had actual knowledge of the law or a specific intent to violate. Moreover, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal healthcare Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the federal civil False Claims Act. Although there are a number of statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors to the federal healthcare Anti-Kickback Statute protecting certain common business arrangements and activities from prosecution or regulatory sanctions, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practices that involve remuneration to those who prescribe, purchase, or recommend medical device products, including discounts, or engaging individuals as speakers, consultants, or advisors, may be subject to scrutiny if they do not fit squarely within an exception or safe harbor. Our practices may not in all cases meet all of the criteria for safe harbor protection from anti- kickback liability. Moreover, there are no safe harbors for many common practices, such as reimbursement support programs, educational or research grants, or charitable donations;

●

the federal civil False Claims Act, which prohibits, among other things, individuals or entities from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, false or fraudulent claims for payment of federal government funds, and knowingly making, using or causing to be made or used a false record or statement material to a false or fraudulent claim to avoid, decrease or conceal an obligation to pay money to the federal government. Private individuals, commonly known as “whistleblowers,” can bring civil False Claims Act qui tam actions, on behalf of the government and such individuals and may share in amounts paid by the entity to the government in recovery or settlement. False Claims Act liability is potentially significant in the healthcare industry because the statute provides for treble damages and mandatory penalties for each false or fraudulent claim or statement. The government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim under the federal civil False Claims Act. Many pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers have been investigated and have reached substantial settlements under the federal civil False Claims Act in connection with alleged off-label promotion of their products and allegedly providing free products to customers with the expectation that the customers would bill federal health care programs for the product. In addition, manufacturers can be held liable under the federal civil False Claims Act even when they do not submit claims directly to government payers if they are deemed to “cause” the submission of false or fraudulent claims. There are also criminal penalties, including imprisonment and criminal fines, for making or presenting false, fictitious or fraudulent claims to the federal government;

●

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), which created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among other things, knowingly and willfully executing or attempting to execute a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private third-party payers, knowingly and willfully embezzling or stealing from a healthcare benefit program, willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense, and knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statements or representations, or making or using any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement or entry in connection with the delivery of, or payment for, healthcare benefits, items or services. Similar to the federal healthcare Anti-Kickback Statute, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to have committed a violation;

●

the federal Physician Payments Sunshine Act under the Affordable Care Act, which requires certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available under Medicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (with certain exceptions) to report annually to the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, information related to payments and other transfers of value to physicians (defined to include doctors, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists and chiropractors) and teaching hospitals, and applicable manufacturers and group purchasing organizations, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Since January 2022, applicable manufacturers are also required to report information regarding payments and transfers of value provided to physician assistants, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, certified nurse anesthetists, and certified nurse-midwives;

●

HIPAA, as amended by Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH”), and their respective implementing regulations, which imposes privacy, security, and breach reporting obligations with respect to Protected Health Information (“PHI”), upon entities subject to the law, such as health plans, healthcare clearinghouses and certain healthcare providers, and their respective business associates that perform services on their behalf that involve PHI. HITECH also created new tiers of civil monetary penalties, amended HIPAA to make HIPAA compliance as well as civil and criminal penalties directly applicable to business associates, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federal courts to enforce the HIPAA laws and seek attorneys’ fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions; and

●

analogous state and foreign law equivalents of each of the above federal laws, such as anti-kickback and false claims laws which may apply to items or services reimbursed by any third-party payer, including commercial insurers or patients; state laws that require device companies to comply with the industry’s voluntary compliance guidelines and the applicable compliance guidance promulgated by the federal government or otherwise restrict payments that may be made to healthcare providers and other potential referral sources; state and local laws that require the licensure of sales representatives; state laws that require device manufacturers to report information related to payments and other transfers of value to physicians and other healthcare providers or marketing expenditures and pricing information; data privacy and security laws and regulations in foreign jurisdictions that may be more stringent than those in the United States (such as the EU, which adopted the General Data Protection Regulation, which became effective in May 2018); state laws governing the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other in significant ways and may not have the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts; and state laws related to insurance fraud in the case of claims involving private insurers.

These laws and regulations, among other things, may constrain our business, marketing, and other promotional activities by limiting the kinds of financial arrangements, including sales programs, we may have with physicians or other potential purchasers of our products and consulting agreements we enter into with physicians. Further, while we do not submit claims and our future customers will make the ultimate decision on whether or how to submit any potential claims, we may provide reimbursement guidance and support regarding our products, to the extent reimbursement may be available, which could implicate these laws. Due to the breadth of these laws, the narrowness of statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors available, and the range of interpretations to which they are subject, it is possible that some of our current or future practices might be challenged under one or more of these laws.

To enforce compliance with healthcare regulatory laws, certain enforcement bodies have recently increased their scrutiny of interactions between healthcare companies and healthcare providers, which has led to a number of investigations, prosecutions, convictions and settlements in the healthcare industry. For example, U.S. federal and state regulatory and enforcement agencies continue to actively investigate violations of healthcare laws and regulations, including pursuing novel theories of liability under these laws. These government agencies recently have increased regulatory scrutiny and enforcement activity with respect to manufacturer reimbursement support activities and patient support programs, including bringing criminal charges or civil enforcement actions under the federal healthcare Anti-Kickback statute, federal civil False Claims Act, the health care fraud statute, and HIPAA privacy provisions. Responding to investigations can be time and resource consuming and can divert management’s attention from the business. Any such investigation or settlement could increase our costs or otherwise have an adverse effect on our business. Even an unsuccessful challenge or investigation into our practices could cause adverse publicity, and be costly to respond to.

If our operations are found to be in violation of any of the healthcare laws or regulations described above or any other healthcare regulations that may apply to us, we may be subject to administrative, civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, substantial monetary penalties, exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, imprisonment, additional reporting obligations, and oversight if we become subject to a corporate integrity agreement or other agreement to resolve allegations of non-compliance with these laws, reputational harm, and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations.

Among other data-privacy and/or confidentiality laws to which we may be subject, HIPAA establishes privacy and security standards that limit the use and disclosure of PHI and require covered entities and business associates to implement administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of individually identifiable health information in electronic form, among other requirements.

Violations of HIPAA may result in civil and criminal penalties. We must also comply with HIPAA’s breach notification rule which requires notification to affected individuals and the Secretary of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), and in certain cases to media outlets, in the case of a breach of unsecured PHI. The regulations also require business associates of covered entities to notify the covered entity of breaches by the business associate.

State attorneys general also have the right to prosecute HIPAA violations committed against residents of their states, and HIPAA standards have been used as the basis for the duty of care in state civil suits, such as those for negligence or recklessness in misusing personal information. In addition, HIPAA mandates that HHS conduct periodic compliance audits of HIPAA covered entities and their business associates for compliance.

Many states also have laws that protect the privacy and security of sensitive and personal information, including health information. These laws may be similar to or even more protective than HIPAA and other federal privacy laws. For example, the laws of the State of California are more restrictive than HIPAA. Where state laws are more protective than HIPAA, we must comply with the state laws we are subject to, in addition to HIPAA. For example, California passed the California Consumer Privacy Act or CCPA on June 28, 2018, which went into effect January 1, 2020. On November 3, 2020, the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CPRA”), which amends the CCPA and adds new privacy protections that became effective on January 1, 2023, was enacted through a ballot initiative. While information we maintain that is covered by HIPAA may be exempt from the CCPA, other records and information we maintain related to patients or personnel may be subject to the CCPA. In certain cases, it may be necessary to modify our planned operations and procedures to comply with these more stringent state laws. Not only may some of these state laws impose fines and penalties upon violators, but also some, unlike HIPAA, may afford private rights of action to individuals who believe their personal information has been misused. In addition, state and federal privacy laws subject to frequent change.

In addition to HIPAA and state health information privacy laws, we may be subject to other state and federal privacy laws, including laws that prohibit unfair privacy and security practices and deceptive statements about privacy and security, laws that place specific requirements on certain types of activities, such as data security and texting, and laws requiring holders of personal information to maintain safeguards and to take certain actions in response to a data breach.

Our subsidiary, Firefly Neuroscience Ltd., has received Israeli governmental grants to assist in the funding of its research and development activities. The IIA grants which Firefly Neuroscience Ltd.’s technology has received for research and development expenditures restrict its ability to manufacture products and transfer (including by way of license for R&D purposes) know-how outside of Israel and require it to satisfy specified conditions.

Firefly Neuroscience Ltd.’s technologies were developed, in part, with grants from the Israel Innovation Authority, or IIA (formerly known as the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Economy and Industry) in the aggregate amount of approximately $4.60 million. As of December 31, 2024, Firefly Neuroscience Ltd. has paid royalties to the IIA and had a contingent obligation to the IIA (including interest) of $5.83 million. The requirements and restrictions for such grants are set forth in the Encouragement of Research, Development and Technological Innovation in Industry Law, 5744-1984 (formerly known as the Law for the Encouragement of Research and Development in Industry, 5744-1984), or the Innovation Law, the IIA’s rules and guidelines and the terms of these grants.

In general, the recipients of IIA grants are obligated to pay the IIA royalties from the revenues generated from the sale of products and related services developed as a result of a research and development program funded, in whole or in part, by the IIA, at rates which are determined under the IIA’s rules and guidelines (generally of 3% to 6% on sales of IIA-funded products or related services, which rates may be increased under certain circumstances) up to the aggregate amount of the total grants received by the IIA (which may be increased under certain circumstances, as described below), plus annual interest (as determined in the IIA’s rules and guidelines). Following the full payment of such royalties and interest, there is generally no further liability for royalty payments; however, other restrictions under the Innovation Law continue to apply, as described below.

Under the IIA’s rules and guidelines, Firefly Neuroscience Ltd. is generally prohibited from manufacturing products developed using the IIA funding outside of the State of Israel without the prior approval of the IIA (except for the transfer of less than 10% of the manufacturing capacity in the aggregate which requires only a notice) and subject to payment of increased royalties (up to 300% of the grant amount plus accrued interest, depending on the manufacturing volume that is performed outside of Israel). Additionally, under the IIA’s rules and guidelines, Firefly Neuroscience Ltd. is prohibited from transferring the IIA-funded know-how and related intellectual property rights outside of the State of Israel, except under limited circumstances and only with the prior approval of the IIA. Firefly Neuroscience Ltd. may not receive the required approvals for any proposed transfer, and even if received, Firefly Neuroscience Ltd. may be required to pay the IIA a redemption fee of up to 600% of the grant amounts (less paid royalties, if any, and depreciation, but no less than the total grants received) plus accrued interest. Approval of the transfer of know-how to an Israeli company is also required, and may be granted if the recipient assumes all of our responsibilities towards the IIA, including the restrictions on the transfer of know-how and the manufacturing rights outside of Israel and the obligation to pay royalties, and, although such transfer will not be subject to the payment of a redemption fee, there will be an obligation to pay royalties to the IIA from the income of such sale transaction as part of the royalty payment obligation. No assurance can be given that approval for any such transfer, if requested, will be granted.

These restrictions may impair our ability to perform or outsource manufacturing outside of Israel or otherwise transfer or sell Firefly Neuroscience Ltd.’s IIA funded know-how outside of Israel, without the approval of the IIA. Furthermore, the consideration available to Firefly Neuroscience Ltd.’s and/or our shareholders in a transaction involving the transfer outside of Israel of know-how developed with IIA funding (such as a merger or similar transaction) may be reduced by any amounts that Firefly Neuroscience Ltd. is required to pay to the IIA. If Firefly Neuroscience Ltd. fails to comply with the requirements of the Innovation Law and the IIA’s rules and guidelines, Firefly Neuroscience Ltd. may become subject to financial sanctions, be required to return certain grants previously received along with interest and penalties and may become subject to criminal proceedings. In addition, the Government of Israel may, from time to time, audit sales of products which it claims incorporate technology funded via IIA programs and this may lead to additional royalties being payable on additional products, and may subject such products to the restrictions and obligations specified hereunder.

It may be difficult to enforce a U.S. judgment against our subsidiary, Firefly Neuroscience Ltd., and our officers and directors in Israel or otherwise outside the United States, to assert U.S. securities laws claims in Israel or to serve process on our officers and directors.

While we are incorporated in Delaware, our subsidiary, Firefly Neurosciences Ltd. Is incorporated Israel. Some of our executive officers and directors reside outside of the United States, and many of our assets and most of the assets of our executive officers and directors are located outside of the United States. Therefore, a judgment obtained in the United States against us or such executive officers and our directors, including one based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws, may not be collectible in the United States, and it may be difficult for you to affect service of process on these persons in the United States. In addition, it may be difficult to obtain a judgment in Israel based on the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities laws. Israeli courts might not enforce judgments obtained in the United States against us or our non-U.S. directors and executive officers, which may make it difficult to collect on judgments rendered against us or our non-U.S. officers and directors by either a U.S. or foreign court. Moreover, an Israeli court will not enforce a non-Israeli judgment if it was given in a state whose laws do not provide for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts (subject to exceptional cases), if its enforcement is likely to prejudice the sovereignty or security of the State of Israel, if it was obtained by fraud or in the absence of due process, if it is at variance with another valid judgment that was given in the same matter between the same parties, or if a suit in the same matter between the same parties was pending before a court or tribunal in Israel at the time the foreign action was brought.

Cybersecurity incidents, including data security breaches or computer viruses, could harm our business by disrupting our delivery of services, damaging our reputation, or exposing us to liability.

We receive, process, store, and transmit, often electronically, data of our customers and others which may be confidential. Unauthorized access to our computer systems or stored data could result in the theft or improper disclosure of confidential information, the deletion or modification of records, or could cause interruptions in our operations. These cybersecurity risks increase when we transmit information from one location to another, including transmissions over the Internet or other electronic networks. Despite implemented security measures, our facilities, systems, and procedures, and those of our third-party service providers, may be vulnerable to security breaches, phishing scams, acts of vandalism, software viruses, misplaced or lost data, programming and/or human errors, or other similar events which may disrupt our delivery of services or expose the confidential information of the Company, our customers and others. Any security breach involving the misappropriation, loss, or other unauthorized disclosure or use of confidential information of our customers or others, whether by us or a third party, could: (i) subject us to civil and criminal penalties; (ii) have a negative impact on our reputation; or (iii) expose us to liability to our customers, third parties, or government authorities. Any of these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Foreign data protection, privacy, and other laws and regulations are often more restrictive than those in the U.S. The E.U., for example, traditionally has imposed stricter obligations under its laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection and consumer protection than the U.S. In May 2018, the GDPR, governing data practices and privacy in the E.U., became effective and replaced the data protection laws of the individual member states. GDPR requires companies to meet stringent requirements regarding the handling of personal data of individuals in the E.U. These more stringent requirements include expanded disclosures to inform members about how we may use their personal data, increased controls on profiling members, and increased rights for members to access, control and delete their personal data. In addition, there are mandatory data breach notification requirements. The law also includes significant penalties for non-compliance, which may result in monetary penalties of up to 20 million Euros or 4% of a company’s worldwide turnover, whichever is higher. GDPR and other similar regulations require companies to give specific types of notice, and informed consent is required for the placement of a cookie or similar technologies on a user’s device for online tracking for behavioral advertising and other purposes and for direct electronic marketing. The GDPR also imposes additional conditions in order to satisfy such consent, such as a prohibition on pre-checked consents. It remains unclear how the U.K. data protection laws or regulations will develop in the medium to longer term and how data transfer to the U.K. from the E.U. will be regulated. Outside of the E.U., there are many other countries with data protection laws, and new countries are adopting data protection legislation with increasing frequency.

Many of these laws may require consent from individuals for the use of data for various purposes, including marketing, which may reduce our ability to market our products.

There is no harmonized approach to these laws and regulations globally. Consequently, we increase our risk of non-compliance with applicable foreign data protection laws and regulations when we expand internationally. We may need to change and limit the way we use personal information in operating our business and may have difficulty maintaining a single operating model that is compliant. Compliance with such laws and regulations will result in additional costs and may necessitate changes to our business practices and divergent operating models, limit the effectiveness of our marketing activities, adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition, and subject us to additional liabilities.

Our business could be adversely affected by professional and legal challenges to our business model or by new state actions restricting our ability to provide our products and services in certain states.

Since the success of our business will be dependent on the widespread adaptation of our BNA Platform as a valid method for statistical analysis of EEG scans, neurologists across multiple geographies will be needed to use our BNA Platform and provide positive feedback and results. This will expose us to legal risk of patients or neurologists who may have a negative experience with our BNA Platform filing lawsuits claiming damages or other claims. Although we will seek insurance coverage for such legal actions, there is no assurance that the amount of coverage will be sufficient to cover these claims. In addition, such legal actions from consumers and neurologists may result in material and adverse effects on our ability to continue to conduct business due to negative press.

Security breaches, data breaches, cyber-attacks, other cybersecurity incidents or the failure to comply with privacy, security and data protection laws could materially impact our operations, patient care could suffer, we could be liable for damages, and our business, operations and reputation could be harmed.

We expect to retain confidential customer personal and financial, patient health information and our own proprietary information and data essential to our business operations. We will rely upon the effective operation of our IT systems, and those of our service providers, vendors, and other third parties to safeguard the information and data. Additionally, our success may be dependent on the success of healthcare providers, many of whom are comprised of individual or small operations with limited IT experience and inadequate or untested security protocols, in managing data privacy and data security requirements. It is critical that the facilities, infrastructure and IT systems on which we depend to run our business and the products we develop remain secure and be perceived by the marketplace and our potential customers to be secure. Despite the implementation of security features in our products and security measures in our IT systems, we and our service providers, vendors, and other third parties may become subject to physical break-ins, computer viruses or other malicious code, unauthorized or fraudulent access, programming errors or other technical malfunctions, hacking or phishing attacks, malware, ransomware, employee error or malfeasance, cyber-attacks, and other breaches of IT systems or similar disruptive actions, including by organized groups and nation-state actors. For example, we may experience cybersecurity incidents and unauthorized internal employee exfiltration of company information.

Further, the frequency of third-party cyber-attacks has increased over the last several years. The military conflict in Ukraine may cause nation-state actors or hackers sympathetic to either side of the conflict to carry out cyber-attacks to achieve their goals, which may include espionage, information gathering operations, monetary gain, ransomware, disruption, and destruction. Significant service disruptions, breaches in our infrastructure and IT systems or other cybersecurity incidents could expose us to litigation or regulatory investigations, impair our reputation and competitive position, be distracting to our management, and require significant time and resources to address. Affected parties or regulatory agencies could initiate legal or regulatory action against us, which could prevent us from resolving the issues quickly or force us to resolve them in unanticipated ways, cause us to incur significant expense and liability, or result in judicial or governmental orders forcing us to cease operations or modify our business practices in ways that could materially limit or restrict the products and services we provide. Concerns over our privacy practices could adversely affect others’ perception of us and deter potential customers, patients and partners from using our products. In addition, patient care could suffer, and we could be liable if our products or IT systems fail to deliver accurate and complete information in a timely manner. We have internal monitoring and detection systems as well as cybersecurity and other forms of insurance coverage related to a breach event covering expenses for notification, credit monitoring, investigation, crisis management, public relations and legal advice. However, damages and claims arising from such incidents may not be covered or may exceed the amount of any coverage and do not cover the time and effort we may incur investigating and responding to any incidents, which may be material. The costs to eliminate, mitigate or recover from security problems and cyber-attacks and incidents could be material and depending on the nature and extent of the problem and the networks or products impacted, may result in network or systems interruptions, decreased product sales, or data loss that may have a material impact on our operations, net revenues and operating results.

Our business will expose us to potential liability for the quality and safety of our products and services, how we advertise and market those products and services and how and to whom we sell them, and we may incur substantial expenses or be found liable for substantial damages or penalties if we are subject to claims or litigation.

Our products and services involve an inherent risk of claims concerning their design, manufacture, safety and performance, how they are marketed and advertised in a complex framework of highly regulated domestic and international laws and regulations, how we package, bundle or sell them to potential customers, who may be private individuals or companies or public entities such as hospitals and clinics, and how we train and support doctors, their staffs and patients who administer or use our products. Moreover, consumer products and services are routinely subject to claims of false, deceptive or misleading advertising, consumer fraud and unfair business practices. Additionally, we may be held liable if any product we develop or manufacture or services we offer or perform causes injury or is otherwise found unhealthy. If our products are safe but they are promoted for off-label usage, we may be investigated, fined or have our products or services enjoined or approvals rescinded or we may be required to defend ourselves in litigation. Although we maintain insurance for product liability, business practices and other types of activities we make or offer, coverage may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and may be insufficient for actual liabilities. Any claim for product liability, sales, advertising and business practices, regardless of its merit or eventual outcome, could result in material legal defense costs and damage our reputation, increase our expenses and divert management’s attention.

Increased focus on current and anticipated environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) laws and increased scrutiny of our ESG policies and practices may materially increase our costs, expose us to potential liability, adversely impact our reputation, employee retention, willingness of potential customers and suppliers to do business with us and willingness of investors to invest in us.

Our operations are subject to a variety of existing local, regional and global ESG laws and regulations, and we will likely be required to comply with new, broader, more complex and more costly laws and regulations that focus on ESG matters. Our compliance obligations will likely span all aspects of our business and operations, including product design and development, materials sourcing and other procurement activities, product packaging, product safety, energy and natural resources usage, facilities design and utilization, recycling and collection, transportation, disposal activities and workers’ rights.

Environmental regulations related to greenhouse gases are expected to have an increasingly larger impact on our or our suppliers’ energy sources. Many U.S. and foreign regulators have enacted or are considering enacting new or additional disclosure requirements or limits on the emissions of greenhouse gases, including, but not limited to, carbon dioxide and methane, from power generation units using fossil fuels. The effects of greenhouse gas emission limits on power generation are subject to significant uncertainties, including the timing of any new requirements, levels of emissions reductions and the scope and types of emissions regulated. These limits may have the effect of increasing our costs and those of our suppliers and could result in manufacturing, transportation and supply chain disruptions and delays if clean energy alternatives are not readily available in adequate amounts when required. Moreover, alternative energy sources, coupled with reduced investments in traditional energy sources and infrastructure, may fail to provide the predictable, reliable, and consistent energy that we, our suppliers and other businesses need for operations.

Meeting our obligations under existing ESG laws, rules, or regulations is already costly to us and our suppliers, and we expect those costs to increase as new laws are enacted, possibly materially. Additionally, we expect regulators to perform investigations, inspections and periodically audit our compliance with these laws and regulations, and we cannot provide assurance that our efforts or operations will be compliant. If we fail to comply with any requirements, we could be subject to significant penalties or liabilities and we may be required to implement new and materially more costly processes and procedures to come into compliance. Further, these laws are subject to unpredictable changes. Even if we successfully comply with these laws and regulations, our suppliers may fail to comply. We may also suffer financial and reputational harm if future customers require, and we are unable to deliver, certification that our products are conflict free. In all of these situations, our future customers may stop purchasing products from us, and may take legal action against us, which could harm our reputation, revenues and results of operations.

Investor advocacy groups, institutional investors, investment funds, proxy advisory services, stockholders, and consumers are also increasingly focused on corporate ESG practices. Additionally, public interest and legislative pressure related to public companies’ ESG practices continues to grow. If our ESG practices fail to meet investors’ or other industry stakeholders’ evolving expectations and standards, including environmental stewardship, support for local communities, board of director and employee diversity, human capital management, employee health and safety practices, product quality, supply chain management, corporate governance and transparency and employing ESG strategies in our operations, our brand, reputation and employee retention may be negatively impacted, potential customers and suppliers may be unwilling to do business with us and investors may be unwilling to invest in us. In addition, as we work to align our ESG practices with industry standards, we have expanded and will likely continue to expand our disclosures in these areas. We also expect to incur additional costs and require additional resources to monitor, report, and comply with our various ESG practices. If we fail to adopt ESG standards or practices as quickly as stakeholders desire, report on our ESG efforts or practices accurately, or satisfy the disclosure and other expectations of stakeholders, our reputation, business, financial performance, growth, and stock price may be adversely impacted.

We are subject to consumer protection laws that regulate our marketing practices and prohibit unfair or deceptive acts or practices. Our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could harm our business, and changes in such regulations or laws could require us to modify our products, marketing or advertising efforts.

In connection with the marketing or advertisement of our products and services, we could be the target of claims relating to false, misleading, deceptive, or otherwise noncompliant advertising or marketing practices, including under the auspices of the FTC and state consumer protection statutes. If we rely on third parties to provide any marketing and advertising of our products and services, we could be liable for, or face reputational harm as a result of, their marketing practices if, for example, they fail to comply with applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.

If we are found to have breached any consumer protection, advertising, unfair competition, or other laws or regulations, we may be subject to enforcement actions that require us to change our marketing and business practices in a manner which may negatively impact us. This could also result in litigation, fines, penalties, and adverse publicity that could cause reputational harm and loss of patient trust, which could have an adverse effect on our business.

Risks Related to our Intellectual Property

Our success depends in part on our proprietary technology, and if we are unable to successfully enforce our intellectual property rights, our competitive position may be harmed.

Our success will depend in part on our ability to maintain existing intellectual property and to obtain and maintain further intellectual property protection for our products and services, both in the U.S. and in other countries. We intend to protect our intellectual property rights, including our AI technology and related algorithms, through a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret laws, as well as third-party confidentiality and assignment agreements. Our inability to do so could harm our competitive position.

We rely on our portfolio of issued and pending patent applications in the U.S. and other countries to protect a large part of our intellectual property and our competitive position; however, our currently pending or future patent filings may not result in the issuance of patents. While we generally apply for patents in those countries where we intend to make, have made, use, or sell patented products, we may not accurately predict all of the countries where patent protection will ultimately be desirable. If we fail to timely file for a patent, we may be precluded from doing so at a later date.

Economic and trade policy, including tariffs and customs regulations, could have a material and adverse effect on our business.

The U.S. has established free trade laws and regulations that set certain duties and tariffs for qualifying imports and exports, subject to compliance with the applicable classification and other requirements. Changes in laws or policies governing the terms of foreign trade, and in particular increased trade restrictions, tariffs or taxes on imports from countries where components of our products may be sourced, such as China, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results. In recent years, the U.S. and Chinese governments have imposed a series of significant incremental retaliatory tariffs to certain imported products. Most notably with respect to the automotive industry, the U.S. imposed tariffs on imports of certain steel, aluminum and automotive components, and China imposed retaliatory tariffs on imports of U.S. vehicles and certain automotive components. Further, the U.S. administration recently has proposed and begun to enact additional or enhanced tariffs in various jurisdictions relevant to our business. Implementation of tariffs or other restrictive trade measures by the United States and potentially reciprocally by other countries subject to such to tariffs remains highly uncertain. Due to the global nature of our business, specifically in the jurisdictions impacted by the recent tariffs announcements, if the actual and potential tariffs and reciprocal tariffs are implemented as currently proposed, our results of operations could be materially negatively impacted, both directly and indirectly through negative effects to our supply chain, as a result of increased costs, decreased demand and other adverse economic impacts, and we may not be able to successfully mitigate or offset such impacts. Depending upon their implementation and duration, as well as our ability to mitigate their impact, these tariffs and any other future regulatory actions implemented on a broader range of products or raw materials could materially affect our business, including in the form of increased cost of goods sold, decreased margins, increased pricing for customers, reduced sales and disruption in our supply chain. Furthermore, additional trade restrictions could be adopted with little to no advanced notice, and we may not be able to effectively mitigate the adverse impacts from such measures, which could further increase the cost of our products, disrupt our supply chain and impair our ability to effectively operate and compete in the countries where we do business.

In addition, various countries regulate cross-border transactions of certain products through import permitting and licensing requirements. The exportation, re-exportation, transfers within foreign countries and importation of our products, including by our suppliers and vendors, must comply with these laws and regulations, and any violations may result in reputational harm, government investigations and penalties, and a denial or curtailment of importing or exporting activities. Complying with U.S. export, sanctions and import laws, including ongoing and rapidly changing sanctions against certain countries, regions, governments and related persons and entities, may be time consuming, may increase our costs, and may result in the delay or loss of sales opportunities. If we are found to be in violation of U.S. export, sanctions or import laws, or similar laws in other jurisdictions, we and the individuals working for us could incur substantial fines and penalties. Changes in export, sanctions or import laws or regulations may delay the sale of complementary products in the U.S. and international markets, and require us to spend resources to seek necessary alternatives, or, in some cases, prevent the export or import of complementary products to certain countries, regions, governments, persons or entities, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Patent rights are territorial, and patent protection extends only to those countries where we have issued patents. Filing, prosecuting and defending patents on our products and our future products in all countries and jurisdictions throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive, and our intellectual property rights in some countries outside the United States could be less extensive than those in the United States. Many countries do not protect intellectual property to the same extent as the U.S. or Europe, and their litigation processes differ. Competitors may successfully challenge or avoid our patents, or manufacture products in countries where we have not applied for patent protection. Changes in the patent laws in the U.S. or other countries may diminish the value of our patent rights. As a result of these and other factors, the scope, validity, enforceability, and commercial value of our patent rights are uncertain and unpredictable.

Furthermore, the patent positions of medical device companies involve complex legal and factual questions, and, therefore, the issuance, scope, validity and enforceability of any patent claims that we may obtain cannot be predicted with certainty. The issuance of a patent, while presumed valid and enforceable, is not conclusive as to its validity or its enforceability and it may not provide us with adequate proprietary protection or competitive advantages against competitors with similar products. Any patents issued to us may be challenged, invalidated, held unenforceable, circumvented, or may not be sufficiently broad to prevent third parties from producing competing products similar in design to our products. In addition, any protection afforded by foreign patents may be more limited than that provided under U.S. patent and intellectual property laws. There can be no assurance that any of our patents, any patents licensed to us, or any patents which we may be issued in the future, will provide us with a competitive advantage or afford us protection against infringement by others, or that the patents will not be successfully challenged or circumvented by third parties, including our competitors. Further, there can be no assurance that we will have adequate resources to enforce our patents. Competitors may also be able to design around our patents. Other parties may develop and obtain patent protection for more effective technologies, designs or methods.

Our ability to enforce our patent rights depends on our ability to detect infringement. It is difficult to detect infringers who do not advertise the components that are used in their products. Moreover, it may be difficult or impossible to obtain evidence of infringement in a competitor’s or potential competitor’s product, particularly in litigation in countries other than the U.S. that do not provide an extensive discovery procedure. Any litigation to enforce or defend our patent rights, if any, even if we were to prevail, could be costly and time-consuming and would divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations. We may not prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate and the damages or other remedies awarded if we were to prevail may not be commercially meaningful.

Moreover, advances in AI technology may generate developments that existing IP laws do not adequately protect. The legislative and regulatory environment is out of our control, may change rapidly and unpredictably, and may negatively influence our revenue, costs, earnings, and growth. Some rules and regulations may be subject to litigation or other challenges that delay or modify their implementation and impact on us.

We also may seek to rely on protection of copyright, trade secrets, know how, and confidential and proprietary information. We generally enter into confidentiality and non-compete agreements with our employees, consultants, and collaborative partners upon their commencement of a relationship with us. However, these agreements may not provide meaningful protection against the unauthorized use or disclosure of our trade secrets or other confidential information, and adequate remedies may not exist if unauthorized use or disclosure were to occur. The exposure of our trade secrets and other proprietary information would impair our competitive advantages and could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition, and future growth prospects. In particular, a failure to protect our proprietary rights might allow competitors to copy our technology, which could adversely affect our pricing and market share. We may not be able to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of our technical knowledge or trade secrets by consultants, vendors, former employees and current employees. Further, other parties may independently develop substantially equivalent know-how and technology.

We currently own registered trademarks for our BNA Platform, and we intend to rely on both registered and common law rights for our trademarks in the future. There can be no assurance that our future trademark applications will be approved. Third parties may also oppose our trademark applications, or otherwise challenge our use of the trademarks. In the event that our trademarks are successfully challenged, we could be forced to rebrand our products and services, which could result in loss of brand recognition, and could require us to devote resources to advertising and marketing new brands. Further, there can be no assurance that competitors will not infringe our trademarks, or that we will have adequate resources to enforce our trademarks.

Litigation, interferences, oppositions, re-exams, inter partes reviews, post grant reviews, or other proceedings are, have been, and may in the future be necessary in some instances to determine the validity and scope of certain of our proprietary rights, and in other instances to determine the validity, scope, or non-infringement of certain proprietary rights claimed by third parties to be pertinent to the manufacture, use, or sale of our products or provision of our services. These types of proceedings are unpredictable and may be protracted, expensive, and distracting to management. The outcome of such proceedings could adversely affect the validity and scope of our patent or other proprietary rights, hinder our ability to manufacture and market our products and provide our services, require us to seek a license for the infringed product or technology, or result in the assessment of significant monetary damages. An unfavorable ruling could include monetary damages or, in cases where injunctive relief is sought, an injunction prohibiting us from selling our products or providing our services. Any of these results from litigation could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Successful cybersecurity attacks, data breaches, unapproved use of machine learning or AI tools, or other security incidents could result in the loss of IP and key technological advantages. Security incidents could result in, for example, unauthorized access to, disclosure, modification, misuse, loss, or destruction of company, patient, or other third party data; theft or import of sensitive, regulated, or confidential data including personal information and IP, such as key innovations in AI; the loss of access to critical data or systems through ransomware; and business delays.

If we infringe or violate the patents or proprietary rights of other parties or are subject to an intellectual property infringement or misappropriation claim, our ability to grow our business may be severely limited.

Our commercial success also depends upon our ability, and the ability of any third party with which we may partner, to develop, manufacture, market and sell our products, if approved, and use our patent-protected technologies without infringing the patents of third parties. Extensive litigation over patents and other intellectual property rights is common in the medical device industry.

We may not have identified all patents, published applications or published literature that affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize our products, by preventing the patentability of one or more aspects of our products, or by covering the same or similar technologies that may affect our ability to market our products. For example, we may not have conducted a patent clearance search sufficient to identify potentially obstructing third party patent rights. Moreover, patent applications in the United States are maintained in confidence for up to 18 months after their filing. In some cases, however, patent applications remain confidential in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO, for the entire time prior to issuance as a U.S. patent. Patent applications filed in countries outside of the United States are not typically published until at least 18 months from their first filing date. Similarly, publication of discoveries in the scientific or patent literature often lags behind actual discoveries. We cannot be certain that we were the first to invent, or the first to file, patent applications covering our products. We also may not know if our competitors filed patent applications for technology covered by our pending applications or if we were the first to invent the technology that is the subject of our patent applications. Competitors may have filed patent applications or received patents and may obtain additional patents and proprietary rights that block or compete with our patents.

We may therefore in the future be the subject of patent or other litigation. From time to time, we may in the future receive letters from third parties drawing our attention to their patent rights. While we do not believe that we infringe upon any valid and enforceable rights that have been brought to our attention, and we take necessary steps to ensure that we do not infringe on the rights of others, there may be other more pertinent rights of which we are presently unaware. The defense and prosecution of intellectual property suits, interference proceedings, and related legal and administrative proceedings could result in substantial expense to us and significant diversion of effort by our technical and management personnel. An adverse determination of any litigation or interference proceeding to which we may become a party could subject us to significant liabilities. An adverse determination of this nature could also put our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly or require us to seek licenses from third parties. Licenses may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all, in which event, our business would be materially adversely affected. Intellectual property litigation or claims could force us to cease developing, selling or otherwise commercializing one or more of our products; to pay substantial damages for past use of the asserted intellectual property; and redesign, or rename in the case of trademark claims, our product(s) to avoid such third party rights, which may not be possible or which could be costly and time-consuming. Any of these risks coming to fruition could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Our failure to secure trademark registrations could adversely affect our ability to market our products and operate our business.

Any future trademark applications in the United States and any other jurisdictions where we may file may not be allowed registration, and we may not be able to maintain or enforce our registered trademarks. During trademark registration proceedings, we may receive rejections. Although we are given an opportunity to respond to those rejections, we may be unable to overcome such rejections. In addition, in the USPTO and in corresponding foreign agencies, third parties are given an opportunity to oppose pending trademark applications and to seek to cancel registered trademarks. Opposition or cancellation proceedings may be filed against our applications and/or registrations, and our applications and/or registrations may not survive such proceedings. Failure to secure such trademark registrations in the United States and in foreign jurisdictions could adversely affect our ability to market our products and our business.

We may be subject to claims that our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their former employers.

As is common in the medical device industry, we may employ individuals who were previously employed at other companies similar to ours, including our competitors or potential competitors. We may become subject to claims that these employees or we have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information of their former employers. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. Even if we are successful in defending against these claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management.

Obtaining and maintaining patent protection depends on compliance with various procedures and other requirements, and our patent protection could be reduced or eliminated in case of non-compliance with these requirements.

Periodic maintenance fees, renewal fees, annuity fees and various other governmental fees on patents and/or applications will be due to the relevant patent agencies in several stages over the lifetime of the patents and /or applications. The relevant patent agencies require compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payment and other provisions during the patent application process. In many cases, an inadvertent lapse can be cured by payment of a late fee or by other means in accordance with the applicable rules. However, there are situations in which the failure to comply with the relevant requirements can result in the abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. In such an event, our competitors might be able to use our technologies and know-how which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operation.

Patent terms may be inadequate to protect our competitive position on our products for an adequate amount of time.

Patents have a limited lifespan. In the United States, if all maintenance fees are timely paid, the natural expiration of a patent is generally 20 years from its earliest U.S. non-provisional filing date. Various extensions may be available, but the life of a patent, and the protection it affords, is limited. Even if patents covering our products are obtained, once the patent life has expired for a product, we may be open to competition from competitive products. Given the amount of time required for the development, testing and regulatory review of new products, patents protecting such products might expire before or shortly after such products are commercialized. As a result, our patent portfolio may not provide us with sufficient rights to exclude others from commercializing products similar or identical to ours.

We may be subject to claims challenging the inventorship of our patents and other intellectual property.

We may be subject to claims that former employees, collaborators or other third parties have an interest in our patents or other intellectual property as an inventor or co-inventor or an author. For example, we may have inventorship or ownership disputes arise from conflicting obligations of consultants or others who are involved in developing our products. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these and other claims challenging inventorship or our ownership of our patents or other intellectual property. If we fail in defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights, such as exclusive ownership of, or right to use, valuable intellectual property. Such an outcome could have a material adverse effect on our business. Even if we are successful in defending against such claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management and other employees.

We use AI in our business, and challenges with properly managing its use could result in reputational harm, competitive harm, and legal liability, and adversely affect our results of operations.

We incorporate AI solutions into our BNA platform, services, and features, and these applications are important in our operations. Our competitors or other third parties may incorporate AI into their products more quickly or more successfully than us, which could impair our ability to compete effectively and adversely affect our results of operations.

Additionally, if the content, analyses, or recommendations that AI applications assist in producing are or are alleged to be deficient, inaccurate, or biased, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected. Our use of AI and machine learning is subject to risks related to flaws in our algorithms and datasets that may be insufficient or contain biased information. The development of AI technologies is complex, and there are several challenges associated with achieving the desired level of accuracy, efficiency, and reliability. The algorithms and models used in our AI systems may have limitations, including biases, errors, or inability to handle certain data types or scenarios. There is a risk of system failures, disruptions, or vulnerabilities that could compromise the integrity, security, or privacy of our platform. These failures could result in reputational damage, legal liabilities, or loss of user confidence, which could materially affect our business.

The use of AI applications has resulted in, and may in the future result in, cybersecurity incidents that implicate the personal data of patients and users of such applications. Any such cybersecurity incidents related to our use of AI applications could adversely affect our reputation and results of operations. AI also presents emerging ethical issues, and if our use of AI becomes controversial, we may experience brand or reputational harm, competitive harm, or legal liability. The rapid evolution of AI, including potential government regulation of AI, will require significant resources to develop, test and maintain our platform, services, and features to help us implement AI ethically in order to minimize unintended, harmful impact.

Legislative and governmental activity in the privacy area may result in new laws or regulations that are applicable to us and that may hinder our business, for example, by restricting use or sharing of patient data, limiting our ability to provide certain data to our customers, limiting our ability to develop or modify our AI systems, or otherwise regulating AI and machine learning, including the use of algorithms and automated processing in ways that could materially affect our business, or which may lead to significant increases in the cost of compliance.

General Risks Related to Us

Our limited access to sufficient funding may hinder our ability to conduct planned operations and realize potential profits.

To date, we have primarily funded our operations through the sale of equity securities and the issuance of convertible notes. These funding sources have been critical to supporting our ongoing research and development initiatives, maintaining our workforce, and financing our early commercialization efforts. However, the capital we have raised to date has not been sufficient to cover our long-term operational needs, and we continue to rely on external funding to sustain and grow our business. Although we have had success in raising funds previously, the availability of capital markets is subject to a variety of factors beyond our control, including macroeconomic conditions, investor sentiment, and market volatility.

There is no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. Market conditions or changes in our financial performance may limit our ability to attract new investment. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds through equity or debt financing or other strategic alternatives, we may be forced to delay, scale back, or discontinue our product development and commercialization efforts, reduce our workforce, or suspend or curtail planned operations altogether.

Moreover, the report of our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, includes a statement that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may also limit our ability to access the capital markets or obtain favorable financing terms. The going concern qualification may raise concerns among potential investors, creditors, and business partners, making it more challenging to secure future funding or enter into strategic relationships. Without adequate financing, we may be unable to achieve our planned milestones, capitalize on market opportunities, or execute our growth strategy in a timely and effective manner.

We may not continue to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, which could result in a delisting of our Common Stock.

Our Common Stock is listed on Nasdaq. While we are currently in compliance, WaveDancer has been in the past been, and we may in the future be, unable to comply with certain of the listing standards that we are required to meet to maintain the listing of our Common Stock on Nasdaq. For instance, on August 8, 2024, WaveDancer received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Staff”) indicating that in the former WaveDancer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 14, 2024, WaveDancer reported stockholders’ equity of $1,708,520 for the period ended March 31, 2024, which did not comply with Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”). Additionally, as previously reported, in a decision dated November 14, 2023, a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) confirmed that we had regained compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement for a prior outstanding deficiency under the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement as related to the WaveDancer’s stockholders’ equity for the period ended March 31, 2023. In the decision, the Panel imposed a Mandatory Panel Monitor for a period of one year or until November 14, 2024, which would require the Staff to issue a Delist Determination Letter in the event that WaveDancer, prior to the consummation of the Merger, or we, following the consummation of the Merger, failed to maintain compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Rule. On August 13, 2024, we received a notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC indicating that following the Staff’s review of the Merger, the Staff determined that we now comply with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement and that the matter is now closed.

While we have regained compliance with the continued listing requirements for Nasdaq, it cannot be assured that we will continue to do so. If Nasdaq delists our Common Stock from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, an investor would likely find it significantly more difficult to dispose of or obtain our shares, and our ability raise future capital through the sale of our shares could be severely limited. Delisting could also have other negative results, including the potential loss of confidence by employees, the loss of institutional investor interest and fewer business development opportunities. Additionally, if we are unable to list on Nasdaq, it would likely be more difficult to trade in or obtain accurate quotations as to the market price of our Common Stock. If our securities are delisted from trading on Nasdaq, and we are not able to list its securities on another exchange or to have them quoted on Nasdaq, our securities could be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or on the “pink sheets.” As a result, we could face significant adverse consequences including:

●

a limited availability of market quotations for its securities;

●

a determination that our Common Stock is a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our Common Stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;

●

a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for us; and

●

a decreased ability to issue additional securities (including pursuant to short-form registration statements on Form S-3) or to obtain additional financing in the future.

The market price of our Common Stock may be subject to significant fluctuations and volatility, and the stockholders of the company may be unable to resell their shares at a profit and may incur losses.

Prior to the Merger, there has not been a public market for our Common Stock. The market price of our Common Stock could be subject to significant fluctuation. The previous business of WaveDancer differs from our business in important respects and, accordingly, our results of operations and the market price of our Common Stock following the Merger may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the results of operations of WaveDancer. Market prices for securities of life sciences and medical technology companies in particular have historically been particularly volatile and have shown extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Broad market and industry factors, as well as general economic, political and market conditions such as recessions or interest rate changes, may seriously affect the market price of our Common Stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. Some of the factors that may cause the market price of our Common Stock to fluctuate include:

●

investors reacting negatively to the effect of our business and prospects from the Merger;

●

the announcement of new products, new developments, services or technological innovations by us or our competitors;

●

actual or anticipated quarterly increases or decreases in revenue, gross margin or earnings, and changes in our business, operations or prospects;

●

announcements relating to strategic relationships, mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, joint ventures, capital commitments, or other events by us or our competitors;

●

conditions or trends in the life sciences and medical technology industries;

●

changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other life sciences and medical technology companies;

●

general market conditions or domestic or international macroeconomic and geopolitical factors unrelated to our performance or financial condition;

●

sale of our Common Stock by stockholders, including executives and directors;

●

volatility and limitations in trading volumes of our Common Stock;

●

volatility in the market prices and trading volumes of the life sciences and medical technology stocks;

●

our ability to finance our business;

●

ability to secure resources and the necessary personnel to pursue our plans;

●

failure to meet external expectations or management guidance;

●

changes in our capital structure or dividend policy, future issuances of securities, sales or distributions of large blocks of Common Stock by stockholders;

●

our cash position;

●

announcements and events surrounding financing efforts, including debt and equity securities;

●

analyst research reports, recommendations and changes in recommendations, price targets, and withdrawals of coverage;

●

departures and additions of key personnel;

●

disputes and litigation related to intellectual properties, proprietary rights, and contractual obligations;

●

investigations by regulators into our operations or those of our competitors;

●

changes in applicable laws, rules, regulations, or accounting practices and other dynamics; and

●

other events or factors, many of which may be out of our control.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market prices of particular companies’ securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these companies. Litigation of this type, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources. Any adverse determination in any such litigation or any amounts paid to settle any such actual or threatened litigation could require us to make significant payments.

We currently take advantage of reduced disclosure and governance requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies, which could result in our Common Stock being less attractive to investors.

We have a public float of less than $250 million and therefore qualify as a smaller reporting company under the rules of the SEC. As a smaller reporting company, we are able to take advantage of reduced disclosure requirements, such as simplified executive compensation disclosures and reduced financial statement disclosure requirements in our SEC filings. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as a smaller reporting company may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects. We cannot predict if investors will find our Common Stock less attractive if we rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Common Stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Common Stock and our stock price may be more volatile. We may take advantage of the reporting exemptions applicable to a smaller reporting company until we are no longer a smaller reporting company, which status would end once we have a public float greater than $250 million. In that event, we could still be a smaller reporting company if our annual revenues were below $100 million and we have a public float of less than $700 million.

Our Charter provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.

Our Charter provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or stockholder to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company, its current or former directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Charter or the Bylaws, (iv) any action as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or (v) any action asserting a claim against us, our directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine. This exclusive forum provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. To the extent that any such claims may be based upon federal law claims, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers or employees. If a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We will issue additional equity securities in the future, which may result in dilution to existing investors.

To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience substantial dilution. We will, from time to time, sell additional equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner it determines. If we sell additional equity securities, existing stockholders may be materially diluted. In addition, new investors could gain rights superior to existing stockholders, such as liquidation and other preferences. In addition, the number of shares available for future grant under our equity compensation plans may be increased in the future. In addition, the exercise or conversion of outstanding options or warrants to purchase shares of capital stock may result in dilution to our stockholders upon any such exercise or conversion.

All of WaveDancer’s outstanding shares of common stock, and any shares of WaveDancer Common Stock that were issued in the Merger are, freely tradable without restrictions or further registration under the Securities Act, except for any shares held by our affiliates, as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Rule 144 defines an affiliate as a person who directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, us and would include persons such as our directors and executive officers and large stockholders. In turn, resales, or the perception by the market that a substantial number of resales could occur, could have the effect of depressing the market price of our Common Stock.

The concentration of the capital stock ownership with our insiders will likely limit the ability of our stockholders to influence corporate matters.

Our executive officers, directors, five percent or greater stockholders, and the respective affiliated entities beneficially own approximately 20% of our outstanding Common Stock. As a result, these stockholders, acting together, have control over matters that require approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. Corporate actions might be taken even if other stockholders oppose them. This concentration of ownership might also have the effect of delaying or preventing a corporate transaction that other stockholders may view as beneficial.

Certain stockholders could attempt to influence changes, which could adversely affect our operations, financial condition and the value of our Common Stock.

Our stockholders may from time to time seek to acquire a controlling stake, engage in proxy solicitations, advance stockholder proposals or otherwise attempt to effect changes. Campaigns by stockholders to effect changes at publicly traded companies are sometimes led by investors seeking to increase short-term stockholder value through actions such as financial restructuring, increased debt, special dividends, stock repurchases or sales of assets or the entire company. Responding to proxy contests and other actions by activist stockholders can be costly and time-consuming and could disrupt our operations and divert the attention of the Board and senior management from our business and operations. These actions could adversely affect our operations, financial condition and the value of our Common Stock.

The sale or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock of could adversely affect the market price of such shares.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock in the public market and other legal restrictions on resale, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of such shares and could materially impair our ability to raise capital through equity offerings in the future. As of July 12, 2025, we have approximately 13,243,054 shares of Common Stock outstanding, without giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, excluding securities underlying options and warrants, and based on the Exchange Ratio of 0.1040. This includes the shares being issued to our stockholders as merger consideration, which may be resold in the public market immediately without restriction. We are unable to predict what effect, if any, market sales of securities held by our significant stockholders, directors or officers or the availability of these securities for future sale will have on the market price of our Common Stock.

If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they publish negative evaluations, the price of our Common Stock could decline.

The trading market for our Common Stock will rely in part on the availability of research and reports that third-party industry or financial analysts publish about us. There are many large, publicly traded companies active in the life sciences and medical technology industries, which may mean it will be less likely that we receive widespread analyst coverage. Furthermore, if one or more of the analysts who do cover us downgrades our stock, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline. Additionally, if securities analysts publish negative evaluations of competitors in the life sciences and medical technology industries, the comparative effect could cause our stock price to decline.

Our management will be required to devote substantial time to comply with public company regulations.

As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses we did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), as well as rules implemented by the SEC and Nasdaq, impose various requirements on public companies, including those related to corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these requirements. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs relative to those of we incurred as a private company, and will make some activities more time consuming and costly.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. In particular, we must perform system and process evaluation and testing of its internal control over financial reporting to allow management and our independent registered public accounting firm to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“Section 404”). Our compliance with these requirements will require that we incur substantial accounting and related expenses and expend significant management efforts. We will likely need to hire additional accounting and financial staff to satisfy the ongoing requirements of Section 404. The costs of hiring such staff may be material and there can be no assurance that such staff will be immediately available to us. Moreover, if we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404, or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identifies deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our Common Stock could decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by Nasdaq, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.

As a non-accelerated filer, we will not be required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

We are not an “accelerated filer” or a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act. Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act defines an “accelerated filer” to mean any company that first meets the following conditions at the end of each fiscal year: The company had a public float of $75 million or more, but less than $700 million, as of the last business day of the company’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter; the company has been subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for at least twelve calendar months; the company has filed at least one annual report under the Exchange Act; and the company is not eligible to use the requirements for a “smaller reporting company” under the revenue test in paragraph (2) or (3)(iii)(B), as applicable, of the “smaller reporting company” definition in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act defines a “large accelerated filer” in the same way as an “accelerated filer” except that the company meeting the definition must have a public float of $700 million or more as of the last business day of the company’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter.

A non-accelerated filer is not required to file an auditor attestation report on internal control over financial reporting that is otherwise required under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Therefore, our internal control over financial reporting will not receive the level of review provided by the process relating to the auditor attestation included in annual reports of issuers that are subject to the auditor attestation requirements. In addition, we cannot predict if investors will find our Common Stock less attractive because we are not required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements. If some investors find our Common Stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Common Stock and the trading price for our Common Stock may be negatively affected.

Effective internal controls over financial reporting are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and, together with adequate disclosure controls and procedures, are designed to prevent fraud. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. In addition, any testing by us conducted in connection with Section 404 or any subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm, may reveal deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses or that may require prospective or retroactive changes to our financial statements or identify other areas for further attention or improvement. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares.

A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Prior to the Merger in August 2024, we were a private company with limited accounting personnel and other resources with which to address our internal controls and procedures. In preparing our consolidated financial statements for the ended December 31, 2024, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as related to the (i) not having adequate Information Technology General Controls ("ITGC") or related Information Produced by Entity ("IPE") Controls, and (ii) lack of segregation of duties

To remediate our material weaknesses, we expect to incur substantially more additional costs for addressing our material weaknesses and deficiencies. Our remedial measures will include: (a) developing, maintaining and revising impacted ITGC and IPE controls as necessary, including reviewing the names and functions of each individual involved in the overall control environment to ensure there is proper segregation of duties and (b) development of policies and procedures that require approval of journal entries by the appropriate supervisor of, or an individual that is in an oversight role to, the individuals who prepare them and retain such documentation. We have commenced the implementation of several aforementioned remedial measures, which we expect to complete in 2025.

The implementation of any or all of these aforementioned measures, however, still may not fully address the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Additionally, as most of our documentation will be prepared internally, we do not expect there to be significant material costs to implement our remedial measures. Our failure to correct the material weaknesses or our failure to discover and address any other material weaknesses or control deficiencies could result in inaccuracies and material misstatements in our financial statements, which could result in a restatement of our consolidated financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, reduce our ability to obtain financing or cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, leading to a decline in our stock price. Material weaknesses could also impair our ability to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements and related regulatory filings on a timely basis, reduce our ability to obtain financing or cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, leading to a decline in our stock price, and significantly hinder our ability to prevent fraud.

As a recently listed public company, we may not be able to timely and effectively implement controls and procedures required by Section 404 that are applicable to us as public company.

The standards required for a public company under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are significantly more stringent than those required of a privately held company. Management may not be able to effectively and timely implement controls and procedures that adequately respond to the increased regulatory compliance and reporting requirements that will be applicable to us as a public company. If management is not able to implement the additional requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, it may not be able to assess whether its internal control over financial reporting is effective, which may subject us to adverse regulatory consequences and could harm investor confidence and cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline.

We may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition, results of operations and stock price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

Although WaveDancer and Private Firefly had conducted due diligence on each other prior to the consummation of the Merger, there can be no assurances that their diligence revealed all material issues that may be present in our business, that all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence will be uncovered, or that factors outside of our control will not later arise. As a result, we may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in losses. Even if due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise, and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with each company’s preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and may not have an immediate impact on liquidity, the fact that we report charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about us or our securities. In addition, charges of this nature may make future financing difficult to obtain on favorable terms or at all.

Anti-takeover provisions under Delaware corporate law may make it difficult for our stockholders to replace or remove our Board, and could deter or delay third parties from acquiring us, which may be beneficial to our stockholders.

We are subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the DGCL. Under these provisions, which became effective upon the closing of the Merger, if anyone becomes an “interested stockholder,” we may not enter into a “business combination” with that person for three (3) years without special approval, which could discourage a third party from making a takeover offer and could delay or prevent a change of control. For purposes of Section 203 of the DGCL, “interested stockholder” means, generally, someone owning fifteen percent (15%) or more of our outstanding voting stock during the past three (3) years, subject to certain exceptions as described in Section 203 of the DGCL.

We do not anticipate that we will pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

The current expectation is that we will retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our Common Stock will be your sole source of gain, if any, for the foreseeable future.

It is not possible to predict the actual number of shares of the Common Stock we will sell under the ELOC Purchase Agreement to Arena, or the actual gross proceeds resulting from those sales.

On December 20, 2024, we entered into the ELOC Purchase Agreement with Arena, pursuant to which Arena has committed to purchase up to $10,000,000 of our Common Stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the ELOC Purchase Agreement. The Common Stock that may be issued under the ELOC Purchase Agreement may be sold by us to Arena at our discretion from time to time over the 36-month period beginning on the Commencement Date.

We generally have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our Common Stock to Arena under the ELOC Purchase Agreement. Sales of our Common Stock, if any, to Arena under the ELOC Purchase Agreement will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined by us. We may ultimately decide to sell to Arena all, some or none of our Common Stock that may be available for us to sell to Arena pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement.

Because the purchase price per share to be paid by Arena for our Common Stock that we may elect to sell to Arena under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, if any, will fluctuate based on the market prices of our Common Stock at the time we elect to sell shares to Arena pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement, if any, it is not possible for us to predict, as of the date of this filing and prior to any such sales, the number of our Common Stock that we will sell to Arena under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, the purchase price per share that Arena will pay for shares purchased from us under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, or the aggregate gross proceeds that we will receive from those purchases by Arena under the ELOC Purchase Agreement.

Although the ELOC Purchase Agreement provides that we may sell up to an aggregate of $10,000,000 of our Common Stock to Arena, up to 2,934,666 Common Stock have been registered for resale under a prior registration statement. The number of Common Stock ultimately offered for resale by Arena is dependent upon the number of the shares of Common Stock, if any, we ultimately elect to sell to Arena pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement.

If we elect to issue and sell to Arena pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement more Common Stock than have been registered for resale in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to an aggregate of $10,000,000 available under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, we will file with the SEC one or more additional registration statements to register under the Securities Act the resale by Arena of any such additional Common Stock we elect to sell to Arena from time to time under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, and the SEC must declare such additional registration statements effective before we can sell any additional Common Stock to Arena under the ELOC Purchase Agreement. Any issuance and sale by us under the ELOC Purchase Agreement of a substantial amount of Common Stock in addition to the 2,934,666 Common Stock already registered for resale could cause additional substantial dilution to our shareholders.

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the ELOC Purchase Agreement, (i) the number of Common Stock we will sell to Arena under each Advance Notice will not exceed the ELOC Beneficial Ownership Limitation which is 9.99% of the then total outstanding Common Stock and (ii) the aggregate number of Common Stock we will sell to Arena will not exceed the “Exchange Cap” which is 19.99% of the then outstanding Common Stock before such proposed sale, unless we obtain shareholders’ approval to issue shares in excess of the Exchange Cap.

Our inability to access a portion or the full amount available under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, in the absence of any other financing sources, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The sale and issuance of our Common Stock to Arena will cause dilution to our existing shareholders, and the sale of Common Stock acquired by Arena or the perception that such sales may occur could cause the price of our Common Stock to fall.

The purchase price for the Common Stock that we may sell to Arena under the ELOC Purchase Agreement will fluctuate based on the price of our Common Stock. Depending on market liquidity at the time, sales of such shares may cause the trading price of our Common Stock to fall.

If and when we do sell shares to Arena, after Arena has acquired the shares, Arena may resell all, some, or none of those shares at any time or from time to time in its discretion. Therefore, sales to Arena by us could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our Common Stock. Additionally, the sale of a substantial number of Common Stock to Arena, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.

Investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices. Pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement, we will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares of Common Stock sold to Arena. If and when we do elect to sell Common Stock to Arena pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement, after Arena has acquired such shares, Arena may resell all, some or none of such shares at any time or from time to time in its discretion and at different prices. As a result, investors who purchase shares from Arena at different times will likely pay different prices for those shares, and so may experience different levels of dilution and in some cases substantial dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase from Arena as a result of future sales made by us to Arena at prices lower than the prices such investors paid for their shares. In addition, if we sell a substantial number of shares to Arena under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, or if investors expect that we will do so, the actual sales of shares or the mere existence of our arrangement with Arena may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect such sales.

Arena will pay less than the then-prevailing market price for the Common Stock, which could cause the price of the Common Stock to decline.

The purchase price of the Common Stock sold to Arena under the ELOC Purchase Agreement is derived from multiplying the market price of our Common Stock on Nasdaq by 88%. Our Common Stock to be sold to Arena pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement will be purchased at a discounted price. As a result of the pricing structure, Arena may sell the Common Stock it receives immediately after receipt of such shares, which could cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.

Our management team will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from the sales of our Common Stock to Arena, if any, and investors may not agree with how we use the proceeds and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.

Our management team will have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from our sale of our Common Stock to Arena, if any, and we could use such proceeds for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of commencement of this offering. Accordingly, investors will be relying on the judgment of our management team with regard to the use of those net proceeds, and investors will not have the opportunity, as part of their investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that, pending their use, we may invest those net proceeds in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us. The failure of our management team to use such funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

Substantial future sales or issuances of the Common Stock or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, the Common Stock, or the perception in the public markets that these sales or issuances may occur, may depress our stock price. Also, future issuances of the Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause our stock price to fall.

The conversion or exercise of our outstanding convertible or exercisable securities and resale of the underlying Common Stock, and any other future issuances of the Common Stock or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, the Common Stock, would result in a decrease in the ownership percentage of existing shareholders, i.e., dilution, which may cause the market price of the Common Stock to decline. We cannot predict the effect, if any, of future issuances, conversions, or exercises of our securities, on the price of the Common Stock. In all events, future issuances of the Common Stock would result in the dilution of your holdings. In addition, the perception that new issuances of our securities are likely to occur, or the perception that holders of securities convertible or exercisable for Common Stock are likely to sell their securities, could adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock. The effect of such dilution may be magnified as to all shares that are not or may eventually not be subject to restrictions on resale as enumerated below.

We also expect that significant additional capital may be needed in the future to continue our planned operations, including expanding research and development, hiring new personnel, marketing our products, and continuing activities as an operating public company. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell Common Stock, convertible securities or other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell Common Stock, convertible securities, or other equity securities in more than one transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and new investors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.

USE OF PROCEEDS

All of the shares of Common Stock offered by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Securityholders for their respective accounts.

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

Overview

We are an Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) technology company developing innovative neuroscientific solutions that improve brain health outcomes for patients with mental illnesses and neurological disorders. Our FDA-510(k) cleared Brain Network Analytics software platform (the “BNA Platform”) is focused on advancing diagnostic and treatment approaches for people suffering from mental illnesses and cognitive disorders, including depression, dementia, anxiety disorders, concussions, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. We have invested a substantial amount of time and resources to develop the software, compile the requisite database of brain wave tests, gain patent protection, and receive Federal Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance to market and sell the BNA Platform. The BNA Platform is a software as a medical solution that was developed using AI through unsupervised machine learning (via clustering analysis) on our extensive proprietary database of standardized, high-definition longitudinal electroencephalograms (“EEG”) of over 18,000 patients representing twelve disorders, as well as clinically normal patients. The BNA Platform, in conjunction with an FDA-cleared EEG system, may provide clinicians with comprehensive insights into brain function (cognition). These insights could enhance a clinician’s ability to accurately diagnose mental illnesses and cognitive disorders and assist in evaluating what therapy or drug is best suited to optimize a patient’s outcome.

As of the date of this filing, the BNA Platform has been developed and is in the pre-commercial stages, but has not yet been launched widely. However, we are currently planning to undertake a commercial launch of the BNA Platform in 2025. We do not expect that additional development costs to achieve this commercial launch will be material. We believe there is potential for such commercialization, both with respect to pharmaceutical companies in their drug research and clinical trial activities, as well as medical practitioners in their clinics. In concert with the commercialization of BNA Platform, we are collaborating with neuroscience drug development companies to support their clinical strategies. We plan to generate revenue through two segments: through the use of BNA Platform by United States neurologists and through collaborations with pharmaceutical companies in support of neuroscience drug development. The proposed business model for neurological clinics consists of a base service fee for licensing the product and a per use fee based on volume. The proposed business model for pharmaceutical companies will be tailored to each customer based on the volume and costs associated to provide such services. In order to commercially launch to the medical community, the company has hired sales staff, conducted soft launches into a number of strategic accounts and plans to continue marketing efforts to secure new accounts. In 2025, the company will focus on targeted outreach and client engagement to commercialize the BNA Platform in the clinics segment. Using its database of potential customers, the company will identify key targets in select markets and connect with them through personalized emails and calls to schedule meetings with decision-makers. The sales team, equipped with marketing materials, case studies, peer-reviewed publications, and knowledge gained from our current research partners, are focused on presenting the platform’s benefits and practical applications during these meetings. Follow-up efforts, including addressing questions and offering support by our Neurological Team, will aim to build strong client relationships and drive adoption of the platform.

The clinical utility of EEG technology to support better outcomes for patients with mental illnesses and cognitive disorders has been well documented. Historically, clinical adoption of EEG by medical professionals, including psychiatrists, neurologists, nurse practitioners and general practitioners, has been limited due to the complexity of interpreting EEG recordings and the inability to practically compare a patient’s brain function to that of a clinically normal age-matched patient. Firefly believes that without defining a standard deviation to the norm, it is not possible to objectively assess brain function. By establishing an objective baseline measurement of brain function, the BNA Platform enables clinicians to optimize patient care, leading to improved outcomes for people suffering from mental illnesses and cognitive disorders.

Our value proposition is supported by real-world use of the BNA Platform. Incorporating the BNA Platform as part of a patient management protocol demonstrated improved response rates, enhanced therapy compliance, reduced non-responder rates and a reduction in need for medication switching among patients. Further, we believe that our extensive clinical database, when combined with advanced AI, provides the opportunity to identify clinically relevant biomarkers that will support better patient outcomes through precision medicine and companion diagnostics. We expect to gather additional data through the clinical deployments and clinical studies conducted by drug companies. This additional data may allow us to discover new biomarkers and objectively measure the impact of therapeutic interventions on patients of different types, further enhancing our platform’s effectiveness. We believe that we will be able to enhance accurate diagnosis and predict what therapy or drug, or a combination thereof, may be best suited to optimize patient outcomes. This represents a paradigm shift in how clinicians manage patients with mental illnesses and cognitive disorders holding the potential to transform brain health.

Financial Operations Overview

Revenue

Revenue consists of BNA testing, equipment rental and the undertaking of projects and/or clinical studies. In the future, we plan to generate revenue through two segments: through the use of BNA Platform by neurologists in the United States and through collaborations with pharmaceutical companies in support of neuroscience drug development.

Operating Expense

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expenses represent costs incurred to conduct research and development, such as the development of the BNA Platform. We recognize all research and development costs as they are incurred. Research and development expenses consist primarily of the following:

●

salaries and benefits;

●

consulting arrangements; and

●

other expenses incurred to advance our research and development activities.

The largest component of our operating expenses has historically been the investment in research and development activities. We expect research and development expenses will increase in the future as we further refine and optimize the BNA Platform and invest in its evolution. It is likely that we will continue to evaluate opportunities and strategic partnerships to acquire or license other products and technologies, which may result in higher research and development expenses due to licensing fees and/or integrations.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses consist of employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel, clinical fees and other marketing functions, as well as fees paid for consulting services.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist of employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and noncash stock-based compensation, and other administrative functions, as well as fees paid for legal, and accounting services, consulting fees and facilities costs not otherwise included in research and development expense. Legal costs include general corporate legal fees and patent costs. We expect to incur additional expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq, additional insurance, investor relations and other administrative expenses and professional services.

Other (Income) Expense

Other (income) expense consists primarily of interest bank fees and loan fees, foreign exchange gain or loss and penalties.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and the disclosure of our contingent liabilities in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

See Note 3 to our financial statements elsewhere in this registration statement for information about our significant accounting policies and how estimates are involved in the preparation of our financial statements. We believe the following reflect the critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

The decrease is primarily due to the recognition of deferred revenue relating to outstanding contracts when such contractual obligations were deemed fulfilled in 2023.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024, were $1,954,000, as compared to $741,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023, representing an increase of $1,213,000, or 164%. The increase was primarily due to the vesting of outstanding management options in connection with the consummation of the Merger representing 47% of the increase and a further 26% due to additional internal resources being brought on in 2024.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024, were $1,201,000, as compared to $639,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023, representing an increase of $562,000, or 88%. The increase was primarily due to three main drivers; (i) the vesting of management options in connection with the consummation of the Merger representing 13% of the increase, (ii) additional internal resources in 2024 as compared to 2023 representing 7% of the increase, (iii) professional marketing services and related to brand image, brand awareness and the generation of marketing materials representing 59% of the increase.

General and Administration Expenses

General and administration expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024, were $6,133,000, as compared to $2,196,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023, representing an increase of $3,937,000, or 179%. The primary increase was due to five main drivers being; (i) the vesting of management options and other compensation in connection with the consummation of the Merger representing 25% of the increase, (ii) costs related to the vesting of certain warrants in connection with the consummation of the Merger representing 15% of the increase and as such, there is a one-time expense catch-up required, (iii) legal fees related to the consummation of the Merger representing 19% of the increase and as such a one-time expense, (iv) accounting and audit fees related to the reviewed and audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the years ended December 31, 2023 representing 11% of the increase and (v) other ongoing costs related to being a public company following the consummation of the Merger, including but not limited to the purchase of D&O insurance and the implementation of an investor relations program representing 11% of the increase.

Impairment of Intangible Assets

Impairment expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024, were $874,000, as compared to $nil for the year ended December 31, 2023 due to one of the capitalized upgrades no longer being expected to be utilized as a result in a change in management and subsequent direction. Consequently, the upgrade was deemed fully impaired, resulting in the Company recording an impairment charge of $874,000.

Other (income) expense

Other (income) expense for the year months ended December 31, 2024, was $404,000, as compared to ($476,000) for the year ended December 31, 2023, representing an increase in costs of $880,000 mainly due to an agreement settlement occurring in 2023 representing 52% of the increase, interest and penalties related to late filing of historical taxes each representing approximately 20% of the increase, and the change in the derivate fair value which relates to 18% of the increase.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Going Concern

As of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $87,084,000 and negative cash flow from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 of $6,155,000. Further, we have recurring losses with minimal revenue from operations and we expect to continue generate losses and using cash for operations. While we are attempting to raise funds for commercialization, our monthly cash requirements during the year ended December 31, 2024 have been met through the sale of Common Stock and convertible notes. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, we may be unable to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in normal course of business.

Management has a reasonable expectation that we can continue raising additional capital to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Subsequent to December 31, 2024, we raised $10.4 million of proceeds through the exercise of stock warrants and additional sales of our Common Stock.

For the next 12 months, we expect to continue to incur negative cash flows from operations as we continue to make targeted investments in sales and marketing and research and development of our next generation BNA Platform. On April 30, 2025, we acquired all outstanding stock of Evoke, the consideration transferred of approximately $6,000 and consists of $3,000 in cash and 857,142 shares of our Common Stock.

Beyond the next 12 months, our ability to achieve profitability depends on the commercialization of our flagship product, the BNA Platform. We expect to incur significant costs for at least two to four years to commercialize and distribute our products, and we expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue our research and development and expand our production capabilities, as needed. As a result, we will require significant capital to support our ongoing operations and to drive our business strategy before we can be profitable which raises substantial doubt.

Until we can generate adequate revenues from the sale of our products to cover our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements, we expect to finance our operations through the sale of equity, debt financing, or other sources. There can be no guarantee that debt or equity financings will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Additionally, we may be unable to further pursue our business plan, and we may be unable to continue operations. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2024, states that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The estimates and assumptions underlying our belief in the sufficiency of our capital resources in the short term and our ability to obtain capital resources in the long term may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our capital resources sooner than we expect and may not be able to obtain resources on favorable terms, or at all.

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

Known Trends, Events, and Uncertainties

As with other companies that are in our industry, we will need to successfully manage normal business and scientific risks. Research and development of new technologies is, by its nature, unpredictable. We cannot assure you that our technology will be adopted, that we will ever earn revenues sufficient to support our operations, or that we will ever be profitable. In addition, the emergence and effects of public health crises, such as endemics and epidemics are difficult to predict and the consequences of the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, including related sanctions and countermeasures and the effects of such war on our employees in Israel, are difficult to predict, and could adversely impact geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions, the global economy, and contribute to increased market volatility, which may in turn adversely affect our business and operations. Furthermore, other than as discussed in this prospectus, we have no committed source of financing and may not be able to raise money as and when we need it to continue our operations. If we cannot raise funds as and when we need them, we may be required to severely curtail, or even to cease, our operations.

Other than as discussed above and elsewhere in this prospectus, we are not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that are likely to have a material effect on our financial condition.

Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

BUSINESS

Overview

We are an Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) technology company developing innovative neuroscientific solutions with goals to improve brain health outcomes for patients with mental illnesses and neurological disorders. Our FDA-510(k) cleared BNA™, or Brain Network Analytics, is an advanced neurophysiological assessment tool that uses AI and machine learning to analyze EEG data recorded during rest and cognitive activity. In addition, the eVox System is FDA-510(k) cleared, and is intended for the acquisition, display, and storage, of electrical activity of a patient’s brain including electroencephalograph (EEG) and event-related potentials (ERP) obtained by placing two or more electrodes on the head to aid in diagnosis. Our products may enhance neurological assessments by providing objective, data-driven insights that allow for the early and longitudinal detection of neurophysiological deviations. These insights into brainwave patterns underlying cognitive function may help in tailoring personalized treatment plans and improving patient outcomes more effectively than traditional EEG analysis.

Most neurological disorders affect the neurophysiological state of brain networks. Our products have the potential to detect these subtle changes, aiding the management of various cognitive and neurological disorders where cognitive functions are impacted. This can include but is not limited to: Mood and anxiety disorders as well as neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases and brain injuries. While our products offers significant benefits in these areas, they may be most effective when integrated into a comprehensive diagnostic and treatment approach.

As of the date of this filing, our products are in market. We believe there is potential for further commercialization, both with respect to pharmaceutical companies in their drug research and clinical trial activities, as well as medical practitioners in their clinics. In concert with the commercialization of BNA Platform, we are collaborating with neuroscience drug development companies to support their clinical strategies. We plan to generate revenue through two segments: through the use of our products by United States health care professionals and through collaborations with pharmaceutical companies in support of neuroscience drug development. The proposed business model for healthcare provider clinics consists of a base service fee for licensing the product and a per use fee based on volume. The proposed business model for pharmaceutical companies will be tailored to each customer based on the volume and costs associated to provide such services. In order to further grow our products in the medical community, the company has hired sales staff, and plans to continue marketing efforts to secure new accounts. The company will continue to focus on targeted outreach and client engagement in the clinics segment. Using its database of potential customers and external lead generating services, the company will identify key targets in select markets and connect with them through personalized emails and calls to schedule meetings with decision-makers. The sales team, equipped with marketing materials, case studies, peer-reviewed publications, and knowledge gained from our current research partners, will present the benefits of our products and practical applications during these meetings. Follow-up efforts, including addressing questions and offering assistance by our Clinical Support Team, will aim to build strong client relationships and drive adoption of the platform.

The clinical utility of EEG technology to support better outcomes for patients with mental illnesses and cognitive disorders has been well documented. Historically, clinical adoption of EEG by medical professionals, including psychiatrists, neurologists, nurse practitioners and general practitioners, we believe has been limited due to the complexity of interpreting EEG recordings and the inability to practically compare a patient’s brain electrophysiology to that of a clinically normal age-matched patient. Firefly believes that without defining a standard deviation to the norm, it is not possible to objectively assess brain electrophysiology. By establishing an objective baseline measurement of brain electrophysiology, our products enable clinicians to optimize patient care, leading to improved outcomes for people suffering from mental illnesses and cognitive disorders.

Our Strategy

We are dedicated to transforming brain health with the goal of advancing diagnostic and treatment approaches for people suffering from neurodegenerative diseases, disorders, and cognitive impairment and injuries. Firefly’s strategy is to develop state-of-the-art technologies that bridge the gap between neuroscience and clinical practice. Firefly’s next steps to realize this strategy include:

Further penetrate the market, targeting medical professionals, including neurologists, psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and general practitioners in the United States. Firefly believes that there are significant clinical, societal, and economic benefits that maybe realized when our products are used as part of a regular patient management protocol. Firefly aims to realize these benefits by providing medical professionals and their patients with objective, comparative data of brain electrophysiology. Poor outcomes associated with the treatment of disorders often result from the subjective, trial and error approach to patient treatment.

Firefly believes that by providing clinicians with the ability to compare a patient’s brain electrophysiology could aid in the diagnosis and optimization of the patient’s treatment pathway. This strategy is supported by the fact that real-world clinical use of our products have shown that, when used as part of a patient management protocol, patients showed improved response rates, enhanced therapy compliance, and reduced non-responder rates and a reduction in the need for medication switching.

There is a strong motivation for medical professionals, looking to improve outcomes, to integrate our products into their clinics. Our products could be new recurring revenue stream opportunity for the medical practitioner while providing new patient management strategies. In addition, the adoption of our products represents an opportunity to offer a perceived competitive advantage in their market.

Performing research and clinical studies to identify clinically relevant biomarkers that could support diagnosis and possibly identify patients who are most likely to positively respond to a certain drug or treatment. Firefly is continuously improving our products by actively analyzing its comprehensive database, which includes clinical and behavioral data, to discover biomarkers that may support diagnosis and optimize patient care pathways. In doing so, Firefly intends to empower the practitioners to apply principles of precision medicine to improve outcomes for people suffering from mental illnesses and cognitive disorders. By utilizing the Company’s ML pipeline to analyze its database, it could be possible to identify patterns (EEG-based biomarkers) that are useful for predicting treatment outcomes (predictive biomarkers), predicting disease progression (prognostic biomarkers) and monitoring treatment effects (monitoring biomarkers). Leveraging such biomarkers could inform patient selection and stratification in clinical trials in a way that could optimize trial design, leading to improved outcomes while reducing the cost and time it takes to obtain approval for the drug.

Partnering with leading drug development companies in the central nervous system (“CNS”) space in support of clinical research and companion diagnostics. Firefly is focused on growing its CNS pharmaceutical company partnerships for drug development. Based on the work Firefly has done with pharmaceutical companies like Novartis, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, Bright Mind Bioscience and others, Firefly believes that EEG data, processed by our software, may be effective in CNS drug development by providing objectively measured brain activations that indicate normal or pathological neuronal processes. Our data may be used as objective endpoints for pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modelling. Moreover, by measuring electrophysiology commonly associated with cognitive functions, Firefly biomarkers may also assist in understanding the drug’s effects in the cognitive domain and identifying adverse cognitive events. By enabling a quantitative and objective measurement of the change in brain electrophysiology following a treatment, drug developers could further optimize dose selection for next phases of development.

Management believes that through integration of it’s data and software platform into drug development strategies, CNS pharmaceutical companies may realize significant savings of both cost and time by understanding a drug’s effect better and targeting patients who will respond better to the drug (patient enrichment). Improving patient targeting and effects on patient populations segments could lead to demonstrable improvement in clinical efficacy.

Many new CNS drugs being developed are considered to be high cost, often having annual costs of tens of thousands of dollars. There is considerable resistance from healthcare providers, governments, and Insurers to absorb the high cost of new CNS drugs without knowing who is most likely to benefit from the drug. Firefly believes that biomarkers represent a significant opportunity for drug development companies and practicing medical professionals. For drug development companies, conducting clinical trials with patients who are more likely to respond positively to the drug (patient enrichment) may reduce the clinical trial size required to show positive clinical outcomes (efficacy) and significantly reduce the cost and speed of clinical trials. Furthermore, the ability to show increased efficacy of the drug within a targeted patient group could expedite regulatory approval and provide justification for the cost of the new drug with payors. In concert with Firefly’s commercialization strategy, medical professionals who integrate Firefly’s products into their clinic maybe able to prescribe the drug to their patients who will benefit the most based on the companion diagnostic criteria.

Considering strategic acquisitions. Firefly may consider strategic acquisition opportunities where such transactions may accelerate Firefly’s market positioning through horizontal or vertical integration, expanding capacity, or gaining intellectual property that strengthens its competitive advantage.

Firefly believes that it is in a position to drive the adoption of objective assessment of brain electrophysiology in clinical practice by making it’s products accessible to medical professionals in the United States and other countries around the world. Initial clinical use of the BNA Platform has demonstrated improvements in patient outcomes. Based on this, Firefly believes that it’s software platform has the potential to deliver benefits within the healthcare system to a broad range of stakeholders - patients, clinicians, and payors.

Our Solution - The BNA Platform

Our Database

The BNA Platform is an FDA 510(k) cleared product and is a direct result of applying data science AI and ML expertise to Firefly’s extensive proprietary database of standardized, high-definition longitudinal EEG recordings of over 18,000 (80,000 BNA assessments) patients spanning 35,000 visits representing twelve disorders, as well as clinically normal patients. Further, the Evox System has a database of approximately 100,000 scans.

Firefly’s proprietary database will continue to grow with each use of it’s products in the clinical and research settings, which, through its application of AI and ML, allow for insights to continuously evolve and improve with the goal of continually increasing the value proposition of the software platform to clinicians and pharmaceutical company clients. Firefly believes that this virtuous cycle could result in future product development, like biomarkers that can potentially drive further commercial adoption of Firefly’s products to a wider universe of medical professionals, and also enhance its value proposition to drug development companies.

The Software Platform

The BNA Platform is intended for the post-hoc statistical analysis of the human electroencephalogram (EEG), utilizing both resting-state EEG and Event-Related Potentials (“ERP”) in a patient’s response to outside stimuli during various states of alertness, disease, diagnostic testing, treatment, surgery, or drug related dysfunction. An ERP is an electrical potential recorded from the nervous system following the presentation of a stimulus (e.g., as part of a cognitive task). An ERP signal consists of typical ERP components - positive or negative voltage spatiotemporal peaks within the ERP waveform that are measured within one second post-stimulus presentation. Each ERP component reflects the activity of brain networks responsible for different cognitive functions. The Evox System is FDA-510(k) cleared, and is intended for the acquisition, display, and storage, of electrical activity of a patient’s brain including electroencephalograph (EEG) and event-related potentials (ERP) obtained by placing two or more electrodes on the head to aid in diagnosis.

Our products consists of the following components: a computer environment; EEG data input software algorithms for BNA calculations; a report generator and a functionality for data transfer and storage. In the first step EEG data is measured using a dedicated, commercially available, and FDA-cleared EEG system, which complies with the BNA Platform specifications, or the Evoke System which is FDA 510(k) cleared. Our software processes and analyzes the data using Firefly’s BNA Algorithm (as further described below). Lastly, the results are compiled into individualized reports that provide clinicians with objective insight into brain electrophysiology. Each incremental scan further supports the growth of Firefly’s reference database. The steps are described in further detail below.

Figure 1. Overview of the Process

Measure - EEG Data

The software platform is intended to analyze EEG data recorded at rest (“Resting-EEG”) and during the performance of up to two conventionally used ERP tasks: the Auditory Oddball (“AOB”) and the Visual Go-No-Go (“VGNG”). The EEG is recorded continuously while the patient is at rest with eyes-closed or performs one of the ERP tasks. The acquisition site is asked to provide reliable samples of artifact-free digital EEG for purposes of analysis. After the recording, the artifact-free EEG data is automatically imported into the BNA™ Platform This is useful to clinicians as the information from the Resting-EEG and ERP tasks are complementary to each other in many ways. The software platform thus empowers clinicians by providing them with a multi-perspective, objective evaluation of the patient’s brain function in one product.

Figure 2. EEG Data Inputs

Analyze - The BNA Algorithm

After the recording, the artifact-free EEG data is imported into the software platform and is automatically analyzed by our algorithms. EEG and ERP data quality is assessed through an automatic calculation of various metrics (e.g., correct response, noisy/flat electrodes, length of clean signal, test-retest reliability), followed by a manual review of major issues detected during the previous process.

Our algorithms detects and quantifies the characteristics of EEG and ERP peaks, and behavioral performance: (AOB task: P50, N100, P200, P3a, P3b; VGNG task: P200, N200, P3a, P3b).

EEG spectral analysis – absolute and relative power in delta, theta, alpha and beta frequency bands, and alpha peak frequency.

●

Absolute power: the average of the raw PSD within the frequency band of interest, calculated per electrode.

●

Relative power: calculated by dividing the power in each frequency band by the total power of all frequencies, per electrode.

●

Alpha peak frequency: calculated as the weighted average of the frequency sample points within the alpha band (8-12 Hz), taking the power values as weights, per electrode.

AOB and VGNG Tasks – Event-Related Potential (ERP) and behavioral performance analysis.

●

Brain Network Analytics (BNA) is used to detect the following ERP components:

●

VGNG: N200, P200, P3a, P3b

●

AOB: P50, N100, P200, P3a, P3b

●

BNA scores represent these ERP components in terms of amplitude (in microvolts) and latency (in milliseconds), and Neural Consistency (1- ERP variability).

●

Behavioral performance measurements are extracted from the AOB and VGNG tasks, including mean of accuracy, response times (with standard deviation), omission (missed responses to stimuli that required a response) and commission (incorrect responses to stimuli that did not require a response) errors. These behavioral measures complement the ERP measures in assessing cognitive function and are included in the analysis.

Our algorithms then leverage our database to extract potentially clinically meaningful clinical information from EEG data.

EEG recordings are high-dimensional and complex. This is the result of the dynamic spatiotemporal nature of the neurophysiological signals. For example, the event-related potential wave measured at first, at a relatively focal location in time and space on the scalp, and then it evolves and propagates in the cortex while its amplitude changes simultaneously.

Traditional methods for EEG and ERP analysis follow waveform morphology over time at selected electrode locations, using either time-domain or frequency-domain tools, while neglecting the spatiotemporal dynamics associated with the electric field at the scalp. Moreover, focusing on a specific electrode or subset of electrodes, the traditional methods ignore the expected variability between patients in terms of where the ERP component appears on the scalp due to natural differences between cortex and scalp anatomy. The aim of our algorithms is to improve the accuracy of the ERP component detection by considering the spatiotemporal nature of the signal. It achieves this improvement by parceling the EEG activity into major spatiotemporal events - ERP peaks and their surrounding - spatiotemporal parcels.

The key strengths of our algorithms are:

Adaptive peak detection - the ERP peaks are detected in a more patient-specific way, by incorporating some degree of freedom in both time and space in a way that is proportional to the normal variability in time and space of the ERP peaks.

Displaying ERP-peak location - due to the adaptive peak detection by our algorithms, the ERP peak is identified and displayed in the reports on a topographical map together with the group ERP-peak position. This adds potentially clinically useful information to the physician.

Neural-Consistency score - another unique feature of the reports is the presentation of the Neural-Consistency score. Since this is a differentiating score, the Company will describe here shortly what this score is and why Firefly believes it is important.

Since the ERP signal is an average of multiple single-trial ERP signals which can differ largely from each other, assessing the consistency between them may provide complementary functional information to the average measure. As part of the new peak-analysis, the algorithm calculates a new score - ‘Neural Consistency’ based on the similarity of the amplitude activation between single-ERP trials. The score is calculated based on averaging the inter-single trials variability of the ERP-peak and its surrounding points.

Act - Individualized Reports

The results of the data processed by our algorithms are compiled into individualized easy-to-read reports that provide clinicians with objective insight into brain electrophysiology:

Resting-EEG Report

Scores are presented as z-scores based on comparing the patient to an age-matched relevant reference group based on Firefly’s proprietary standardized longitudinal normative database. This presentation expresses the differences between the patient and the reference group. The reports are intended to be used by clinicians to enable the evaluation of the patient’s brain activity during a specific task compared to an age-range matched reference group.

The following diagram breaks down the components of Firefly’s normative database:

Figure 4. Components of the BNA Platform normative database.

Our products are clinical decision support software tools that assists with the interpretations of Resting-State EEG and ERP results, where EEG- and ERP-based examinations are indicated and carried out by a qualified health care professional.

Firefly has a unique reference dataset which can be compared to individual patients. The reference database contains ERP recordings in response to the Auditory Oddball (AOB) and Visual Go No-Go (VGNG) tasks and Resting-State EEG collected from healthy volunteers. The database also includes demographic data and relevant clinical data (based on patient self-report and medical records, neuro-psychological questionnaires when problems were suspected, urine tests to rule out drug abuse and breath tests to rule out alcohol use) enabling adjudication of brain health status.

The Reference group was generated so that each age-bin contained a sample size of at least 120 eligible cases. For ERP analysis, groups were divided to reflect normality for similar electrophysiology The Reference-Group Database for the AOB and VGNG tasks is divided into the following age groups: 25-35, 35-50, 50-65, 65-75, and 75-85 years for VGNG, and 12-14, 14-16, 16-18, 18-25, 25-35, 35-50, 50-65, 65-75, and 75-85 years for AOB.

For the Resting-State EEG, the high volume of samples permitted the creation of reference groups in a higher 0.5-year resolution. Each reference group includes at least 200 individuals selected by their age proximity to the declared age-range of the group. This resulted in 133 reference groups for the ages 12-85 years. Patients are compared to the reference group based on their age proximity to the group.

Wherever the data was normally distributed, the reports present scores as Z-Scores indicating the differences between the patient and the age-matched reference group selected from Firefly’s reference database. A Z-Score is a statistical measure indicating how far a specific value is from the mean of the reference group. A positive or negative Z-Score suggests that a score is bigger or smaller than the mean of the group, respectively.

The 68%, 95%, 99.7% rule specifies the percentage of scores that fall within the ranges of ± 1, ± 2, ± 3, respectively. Figure 24 illustrates this concept. A score outside a range of ± 2 is commonly considered potentially meaningful in the clinic. Only about 5% of the population would have a result outside this range.

Often a score outside the range of ± 2 is considered potentially meaningful in the clinic. The rationale for this is the statistical definition of the central 95% of a distribution as the "normal" range, causing scores to fall outside this range to be considered “extreme” ( (Crawford, 2002); (Curtis, 2016)).

Most of the scores presented in the Behavioral Report showed a skewed distribution within the reference groups. As a conversion into Z-Scores is not appropriate for skewed distributions, the corresponding scores are presented as raw scores and the 25th-percentile limit is marked on the report as a reference value.

Figure 5. The BNA Platform Database

Real-World Evidence for our products Clinical Utility

The findings presented in 2023 white paper study “Brain Network Analytics (BNA) in the Psychiatric Practice: Real-Life Data Analysis” by Charlotte Baumeister, Ph.D., with analysis by Offir Laufer, Ph.D., support the potential of the BNA Platform to transform psychiatric care by automating the analysis of EEG data. The comprehensive research involved a cohort of 2,253 patients seeking treatment at a prominent psychiatric and multispecialty clinic in the United States. The study demonstrated that the BNA Platform improved disease management in psychiatric patients suffering from major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (“GAD”), and ADHD.

The study has unveiled valuable insights into how the BNA Platform may revolutionize disease management in the field of psychiatry. Key highlights from the research include:

●	*Enhanced Treatment Compliance*: Patients grappling with depression, who underwent therapy guided by BNA, exhibited a significant 15% increase in their adherence to MDD treatment protocols, encompassing both antidepressant medications and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

●	*Decreased Medication Alteration Necessity*: The study demonstrated a noteworthy reduction of over 50% in the requirement to switch antidepressant medications among the patient population. This emphasizes the potential of the BNA Platform in optimizing medication selection and dosing.

●

Amplified Improvements in General Functionality: Individuals diagnosed with MDD, GAD, and ADHD experienced more than double the improvement in their overall general functioning when receiving BNA-guided interventions. This suggests that BNA Platform has the potential to comprehensively enhance patients' quality of life and daily functioning.

●	*Elevated Rates of Antidepressant Response*: The application of the BNA Platform was associated with a notable 10% increase in antidepressant response rates, signaling its potential to augment the effectiveness of traditional treatment approaches.

●	*Reduction in Non-Responder Rates*: Among MDD patients, the study observed a significant 17% decrease in the rate of treatment non-responders, indicating that the BNA Platform holds promise in mitigating treatment resistance and improving positive outcomes.

The study thus demonstrated that the BNA Platform represents a potentially significant advancement in patient care in a real world setting and addresses some of the challenges associated with EEG utilization by medical professionals.

By automating EEG analysis and providing comprehensive insights into brain electrophysiology, the BNA Platform has the potential to revolutionize disease management, enhance treatment outcomes, and improve the overall well-being of patients with mental illnesses and cognitive disorders. Based on the real-world results highlighted above, Management believes that the societal impact of better outcomes for patients suffering from mental illnesses and cognitive disorders is substantial and the associated cost savings to healthcare systems and payors could be significant. Firefly intends to study the potential health economic benefits associated with the above findings to support rapid adoption of Firefly's products into standard patient management protocols. Further, the Evoke System has assessed approximately 100,000 scans in clinics throughout the United States.

Research and Development

Firefly focuses its research and development efforts on advancing the treatment of patients suffering from mental illnesses and cognitive disorders. These efforts may be enhanced by the relationships that Firefly has developed with neurologists, psychiatrists, neuroscientists, and other experts. Firefly believes their products may drive a better standard of care for patients suffering from mental illnesses and cognitive disorders.

Firefly’s research and development activities may encompass basic research and product development. Firefly’s research and development team has biomedical engineering, neuroscience, software development, project management, data science, and AI and ML expertise. Firefly believes the strength and strategic vision of its research and development team will continue to drive Firefly’s leadership position in the category of advancing the understanding of brain electrophysiology in support of better outcome for Firefly’s target patient population leveraging EEG hardware with the BNA Platform.

Firefly’s near-term research and development efforts are focused on continuing to improve the software platform, enhancing the patient and provider experience, and expanding the population of patients that can be assessed. Since inception, Firefly’s research and development activities have resulted in significant improvements, Firefly’s first clearance and predicate device to the BNA Platform dates back to 2014 when Firefly received Class II medical device 510(k) clearance from FDA for the BNA Analysis System, with indication for use in individuals 14 to 24 years of age. In December 2020, Firefly received Class II medical device 510(k) clearance from the FDA for Firefly’s current product, the BNA Platform, with indication for use in individuals 12 to 85 years of age.

Additionally, Firefly’s near-term development pipeline includes potential enhancements that leverage its normative database, growing the database, advanced data analysis, ML and AI capabilities to enable medical professionals to enhance their clinical assessments, and to enable drug development companies to improve the success of their drug development programs, potentially bringing new drugs to market faster while reducing the cost and risk.

Market Opportunity

The market for Firefly’s current and future products is vast and growing significantly. According to the World Health Organization, in 2019, 1 in every 8 people, or 970 million people around the world were living with a mental disorder, with anxiety and depressive disorders being the most common. The economic burden of people suffering from depression alone in the United States was estimated at $326.2 billion for the year 2020. As our societies age, the number of cases of mental illness and cognitive disorders is projected to increase, along with the associated economic costs. For example, the number of people with dementia is estimated to increase from 57.3 million cases globally in 2019 more than 150 million cases in 2050. Yet, despite the growing need for effective treatment and substantial unmet treatment needs, CNS drug development remains costly, with the cost of developing a new drug typically ranging from $10 to 15 billion per drug, with CNS drugs having the lowest success rate of all other drug categories.

One of our initial areas of commercial focus will be on the sale of our products to neurologists in the United States. Based on assumptions regarding the use of our platform by neurologists in the United States, this market segment potentially represents a total addressable market (TAM) of approximately $800,000,000 based on the following figures (based on the number of neurologists in the United States currently performing EEGs, the number of times such neurologists may perform a brain analysis and approximate number of working days per year, summarized as follows).

According to data from Definitive Healthcare for 2023, there are 22,115 neurologists in the United States, of which 8,278 are currently performing EEGs. Our business model and TAM assumes that neurologists in the United Sates currently performing EEGs will perform a BNA analysis on average of two times per day over approximately 250 working days per year. Currently, our model assumes that a clinician will be invoiced approximately $200 for each BNA analysis.

Firefly believes that improving outcomes for people suffering from mental illnesses and cognitive disorders requires objective measurement. The clinical benefit of using EEG to understand how a person’s brain is functioning has been studied for decades. However, Firefly believes that, due to the complexity and time required to analyze and interpret EEG recordings, the inability to compare EEG recordings to what is clinically normal, and the inability to track changes over time, the clinical use of EEG has been limited. Our products have the potential to transform brain health by allowing integration of EEG testing and analysis into patient care pathways to provide clinicians with an objective tool that may help them diagnosis and assess treatment efficacy, objectively and quickly. In addition, through Firefly’s research and development initiatives, the Company believes that by introducing biomarkers that could diagnose illnesses or disorders, it would assist in identifying what treatment will provide the most benefit for the patient and may drive adoption by clinicians and payors.

Through ongoing research of Firefly’s growing database, Firefly aspires to enter other markets including, executive medical health and wellness for consumers who want to more actively manage their healthcare and lifestyles.

Firefly plans to offer its products on a recurring revenue model basis. In addition, Firefly plans to provide EEG recording equipment on a monthly rental or purchase basis or as part of a bundle price. Driving adoption in the specialty of neurology may enable Firefly to reach its full potential. For this reason, Firefly plans to initially adopt a direct selling model that is supported by field based clinical specialists and medical affairs personnel. As adoption progresses, supported by clinical validation, biomarkers and improvements to the software platform, Firefly may partner with national distributors that complement Firefly’s target markets, including EEG companies and installed bases of EEG systems in use today by medical professionals.

In concert with the further commercialization of our products to medical professionals, Firefly plans to actively engage with drug development companies and develop extensive strategic partnerships to support their drug development strategies. As of January 1, 2023, there were 187 trials assessing 141 unique treatments for Alzheimer’s disease. As of January 4, 2023, there were more than 160 pharmaceutical companies developing drugs to treat mental illnesses. In order to take full advantage of the opportunity in the CNS drug development market, Firefly intends to invest in business development resources focused on the CNS drug development sector.

Competition

Firefly’s industry is competitive and has been evolving rapidly with the introduction of new products and technologies as well as the market activities of industry participants. Firefly competes against other companies that have developed AI-driven platforms, in the target market of neurological disorders.

Firefly believes that our products are a paradigm shift on the approach to treating cognitive disorders, mental illnesses, injuries to the brain and degenerative diseases. Firefly believes its products offer distinct advantages, including its FDA-cleared BNA Algorithm for data analysis, its proprietary extensive normative age matched database, and the ability of the platform to generate individual reports that clinicians may use to optimize patient care. Firefly believes our products may become a standard of care tool in addressing the primary unmet needs in mental illness and cognitive disorders today. Firefly also believes that our products have a wide range of additional applications, including the ability to leverage data gathered for additional clinical insight, pharmaceutical drug development and new product development. The longitudinal nature of the data, along with clinical disease context, provides many future development opportunities.

Furthermore, EEG technology, represents a scalable, low-cost solution when compared to other imaging technologies that assess brain electrophysiology, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

Intellectual Property

Firefly’s commercial success depends in part on its ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for current and future products, to prevent others from infringing, misappropriating, or otherwise violating its intellectual property rights, to defend and enforce its intellectual property rights, and to operate without infringing, misappropriating, or otherwise violating valid and enforceable intellectual property rights of others. Firefly actively seeks to protect intellectual property that it believes is important to its business, which includes patents covering the components of the BNA Platform and the methods used for optimizing the therapy that the BNA Platform delivers. Firefly also seeks patent protection for other processes and inventions that are commercially or strategically important to developing and maximizing the value of its enterprise. Firefly takes steps to build and maintain the integrity of its brand, for example, with trademarks and service marks, and Firefly seeks to protect the confidentiality of trade secrets that may be important to the development of its business. Firefly relies on a strategy that combines the use of patents, trademarks, trade secrets, know-how, and license agreements, as well as other intellectual property laws, employment, confidentiality and invention assignment agreements, and contractual protections, to establish and protect its intellectual property rights.

Patents

Our patents and patent applications assert claims generally related methods and systems. Specifically, there are multiple patent families relating to (i) ERP processing algorithms and the comparison to a reference group and estimation of brain electrophysiology based on the comparison; (ii) prediction of TMS treatment outcome; (iii) method and system for estimating brain concussion; (iv) method and system for managing pain; (v) method for brain stimulation tool configuration. As of December 31, 2023, we owned eight issued U.S. patents, which have expiration dates ranging from November 2028 to November 2037. We own one issued patent in Japan and there are currently patent applications pending in each of Australia, Canada, China, European Union and Israel, which, if issued, are expected to expire in 2037.

The anticipated expiration dates are without taking into account all possible patent term adjustments, extensions, or abandonments, and assuming payment of all appropriate maintenance, renewal, annuity, and other governmental fees. We continue to evaluate our intellectual property portfolio as patents reach end of life to determine the optimal course for continuing to protect our technology. We cannot ensure that patents will issue from any of our pending applications or that, if patents are issued, they will be of sufficient scope or strength to provide meaningful protection for our technology.

We recognize that the ability to obtain patent protection and the degree of such protection depends on a number of factors. The patent positions of medical device companies like ours are generally uncertain and involve complex legal, scientific, and factual questions. The protection afforded by a patent varies on a product-by-product basis, from jurisdiction-to-jurisdiction, and depends upon many factors, including the type of patent, the scope of its coverage, the availability of patent term adjustments and extensions, the availability of legal remedies, and the validity and enforceability of the patent.

In addition, the coverage claimed in a patent application can be significantly narrowed before the patent is issued, and patent claims can be reinterpreted or further altered even after patent issuance. We cannot predict whether the patent applications we are currently pursuing will issue as patents or whether the claims of any issued patents will provide sufficient protection from competitors. A competitor could develop systems, devices, or methods of manufacture or treatment that are not covered by our patents. Accordingly, our ability to stop third parties from commercializing any of our patented inventions, either directly or indirectly, will depend in part on our success in obtaining, maintaining, defending, and enforcing patent claims that adequately cover our inventions.

Our commercial success will also depend, in part, on not infringing, misappropriating, or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of third parties. Third parties own numerous patents in the U.S. and in jurisdictions outside the U.S. with claims directed to inventions in the fields in which we operate or plan to operate. It is uncertain whether the issuance of any third-party patent would require us to alter our development or commercial strategies, seek licenses, cease certain activities, or participate in US Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") proceedings. Moreover, such licenses may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Our breach of any license agreements or failure to obtain a license necessary to our business may have a material adverse impact on us.

Trademarks

Our trademark portfolio is designed to protect the brands of our BNA Platform and any future products. As of December 31, 2024, we own one trademark registration for “BNA” in the United States and other countries, including Israel, Switzerland, European Union, Canada, and India. The trademark is also registered with WIPO International.

Trade Secrets

We also rely on trade secrets relating to our product and technology, including our data processing algorithms, and we maintain the confidentiality of such proprietary information to protect aspects of our business that are not amenable to, or that we do not consider appropriate for, patent protection. We seek to protect our trade secrets and know-how by entering into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with employees, contractors, consultants, suppliers, customers, and other third parties, who have access to such information. These agreements generally provide that all confidential information concerning our business or financial affairs developed or made known to the individual during the course of the individual’s relationship with us are to be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties except in specific circumstances.

For more information regarding the risks related to our intellectual property, please see “Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property.”

Manufacturing

Our BNA Platform is hardware-agnostic and we do not manufacture any compatible hardware. The Evoke System is manufactured by a 3^rd party contract manufacturer.

Grants from IIA

Under the Innovation Law and the IIA’s rules and guidelines, a qualifying research and development program may be eligible for grants of up to 50% of the program’s approved research and development expenses. In general, the recipient of the grants is required to return the grants by the payment of royalties on the revenues generated from the sale of IIA-funded products (and related services), generally at a rate of 3% or 5% of revenues (which rates may be increased under certain circumstances, as described below) up to the aggregate amount of the total grants received by the IIA (which may be increased under certain circumstances, as described below), plus annual interest (as determined in the IIA’s rules and guidelines). Following the full payment of such royalties and interest, there is generally no further liability for royalty payment. Nonetheless, the restrictions under the Innovation Law (as generally specified below) will continue to apply even after repayment of the full amount of royalties payable pursuant to the grants.

The pertinent obligations under the Innovation Law and IIA’s rules and guidelines are as follows:

●

Local manufacturing obligation. The terms of the grants under the Innovation Law and the IIA’s rules and guidelines provide that a company that received IIA grants, or the Recipient Company, is prohibited from manufacturing products developed using these IIA grants outside of Israel (unless the IIA approved grant program includes a pre-determined portion of manufacturing that may be performed outside Israel) without receiving prior approval from the IIA (except for the transfer of less than 10% of the manufacturing capacity in the aggregate in excess of such pre-approved portion (if any), which requires only a notice). If the Recipient Company receives approval to manufacture products developed with IIA’s grants outside of Israel in excess of such pre-approved portion (if any), it will be required to pay increased royalties to the IIA, up to 300% of the grant amount plus accrued interest, depending on the manufacturing volume that is performed outside of Israel in excess of any pre-approved portion. The Recipient Company may also be subject to accelerated royalty repayment rates;

	●	Certain reporting obligations. A recipient of IIA grant is required to notify the IIA of certain events enumerated in the IIA’s rules and guidelines; and
	●	Know-how transfer limitation. Under the IIA’s rules and guidelines, the transfer of IIA funded know-how outside of Israel requires prior IIA approval and is generally subject to payment of a redemption fee to the IIA calculated according to formulas provided under the IIA’s rules and guidelines, up to 600% of the grants amount (less paid royalties, if any, and depreciation, but no less than the total grants received) plus accrued interest. Upon payment of such a fee, the know-how and the manufacturing rights of the products supported by such IIA funding cease to be subject to the Innovation Law and to the IIA’s rules and guidelines.

Approval of the transfer of IIA funded know-how to another Israeli company is also required and may be granted only if the recipient assumes all of our responsibilities towards the IIA, including the restrictions on the transfer of know-how and manufacturing rights outside of Israel (although such transfer will not be subject to the payment of a redemption fee, such transfer will include an obligation to pay royalties to the IIA from the income of such sale transaction as part of the royalty payment obligation).

Firefly Neuroscience Ltd. received the IIA’s approval for a system to assist in brain disorder management & with associated imaging technology under the IIA’s rules and guidelines and described above.

The IIA’s approval is not required for the export of any products resulting from the IIA research or development grants.

As of December 31, 2024, Firefly Neuroscience Ltd. had received grants from the IIA in a total amount of approximately $4.60 million, royalties have been paid in respect to the grants received by Firefly Neuroscience Ltd. from the IIA and it had a contingent obligation to the IIA (including interest) of $5.83 million. There is no guarantee that Firefly Neuroscience Ltd. will receive any further grants from the IIA or that the grants will be in the scope received in the past.

Employees

As of July 12, 2025, we have twenty full-time employees and two contractors.

None of Firefly’s employees are represented by a labor union or covered by collective bargaining agreements, and Firefly considers its relationship with its employees to be good.

Government Regulation

Our products (including our BNA Platform) are considered medical devices, and, accordingly, are subject to rigorous regulation by government agencies in the United States and other countries in which we intend to sell our products. These regulations vary from country to country but cover, among other things, the following activities with respect to medical devices:

●

design, development and manufacturing;

●

testing, labeling, content and language of instructions for use and storage;

●

product storage and safety;

●

marketing, sales and distribution;

●

pre-market clearance and approval;

●

record keeping procedures;

●

advertising and promotion;

●

recalls and field safety corrective actions;

●

post-market surveillance;

●

post-market approval studies; and

●

product import and export.

FDA Regulation

In the U.S., numerous laws and regulations govern the processes by which medical devices are developed, manufactured, brought to market and marketed. These include the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FD&C Act”) and its implementing regulations issued by FDA, among others. Unless an exemption applies, each medical device commercially distributed in the United States requires FDA clearance of a 510(k) premarket notification (“510(k) clearance”), granting of a de novo request, or approval of an application for premarket approval (“PMA”). In general, under the FD&C Act, medical devices are classified in one of three classes on the basis of the controls necessary to reasonably assure their safety and effectiveness. A medical device’s classification determines the level of FDA review and approval to which the device is subject before it can be marketed to consumers:

●

Class I devices, the lowest-risk FDA device classification, include devices with the lowest risk to the patient and are those for which safety and effectiveness can be assured by adherence to FDA’s medical device general controls, including labeling, establishment registration, device product listing, adverse event reporting, and, for some products, adherence to good manufacturing practices through FDA’s Quality System Regulations.

●

Class II devices, moderate-risk devices, also require compliance with general controls and in some cases, special controls as deemed necessary by FDA to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the device. These special controls may include performance standards, particular labeling requirements, or post-market surveillance obligations. While most Class I devices are exempt from the 510(k) premarket notification requirement, typically a Class II device also requires pre-market review and 510(k) clearance as well as adherence to the Quality System Regulations/good manufacturing practices for devices.

●

Class III devices, high-risk devices that are often implantable or life-sustaining, also require compliance with the medical device general controls and Quality System Regulations, and generally must be approved by FDA before entering the market through a PMA application. Approved PMAs can include post-approval conditions and post-market surveillance requirements, analogous to some of the special controls that may be imposed on Class II devices.

Our BNA Platform is a Class II medical device, which was cleared by the FDA for commercialization in the U.S. pursuant to the 510(k) notification process for the post-hoc statistical analysis of the human electroencephalogram, including ERP in December 2020. The marketing and distribution of the BNA Platform, is subject to continuing regulation and enforcement by FDA and other government authorities, which includes product listing requirements, medical device reporting regulations. The Evox System is a class II medical device, which was cleared by the FDA for commercialization in the U.S. pursuant to the 510(k) notification process for the acquisition, display, and storage, of electrical activity of a patient’s brain including electroencephalograph (EEG) and event-related potentials (ERP) obtained by placing two or more electrodes on the head to aid in diagnosis. If FDA finds that we have failed to comply with any legal or regulatory requirements, it or other government agencies may institute a wide variety of enforcement actions against us, ranging from Warning Letters to more severe sanctions, including but not limited to financial penalties, withdrawal of 510(k) clearances already granted, and criminal prosecution.

The 510(k) Process

Under the 510(k) process, the applicant must submit to FDA a premarket notification demonstrating that the device is “substantially equivalent” to either a device that was legally marketed prior to May 28, 1976, the date upon which the Medical Device Amendments of 1976 were enacted, and for which a PMA is not required, a device that has been reclassified from Class III to Class II or Class I, or another commercially available device that was cleared through the 510(k) process. To be “substantially equivalent,” the proposed device must have the same intended use as the predicate device, and either have the same technological characteristics as the predicate device or have different technological characteristics and not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness than the predicate device. Clinical data is sometimes required to support substantial equivalence.

After a 510(k) premarket notification is submitted, FDA determines whether to accept it for substantive review. If it lacks necessary information for substantive review, FDA will refuse to accept the 510(k) notification. If it is accepted for filing, FDA begins a substantive review. By statute, FDA is required to complete its review of a 510(k) notification within 90 days of receiving the 510(k) notification. As a practical matter, clearance often takes longer, and clearance is never assured. FDA may require further information, including clinical data, to make a determination regarding substantial equivalence, which may significantly prolong the review process. If FDA agrees that the device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device currently on the market, it will grant 510(k) clearance to commercially market the device.

Post-Market Regulation

After a device is cleared or approved for marketing, numerous and extensive regulatory requirements may continue to apply. These include but are not limited to:

●

annual and updated establishment registration and device listing with FDA;

●

restrictions on sale, distribution, or use of a device;

●

labeling, advertising, promotion, and marketing regulations, which require that promotion is truthful, not misleading, and provide adequate risk disclosures and directions for use and that all claims are substantiated, and also prohibit the promotion of products for unapproved or “off-label” uses (i.e., indications that are inconsistent with or beyond the scope of the applicable FDA approval or clearance) and impose other restrictions on labeling;

●

clearance or approval of product modifications to legally marketed devices that could significantly affect safety or effectiveness or that would constitute a major change in intended use;

●

correction, removal, and recall reporting regulations, and FDA’s recall authority;

●

complying with the federal law and regulations requiring Unique Device Identifiers on devices; and

●

post-market surveillance activities and regulations, which apply when deemed by FDA to be necessary to protect the public health or to provide additional safety and effectiveness data for the device.

●

FDA has broad regulatory compliance and enforcement powers. If FDA determines that we failed to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, it can take a variety of compliance or enforcement actions, which may result in any of the following sanctions:

●

warning letters, untitled letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees, and civil penalties;

●

recalls, withdrawals, or administrative detention, or seizure of our products;

●

operating restrictions or partial suspension or total shutdown of production;

●

refusing or delaying requests for 510(k) marketing clearance or PMA approvals of new products or modified products;

●

withdrawing 510(k) clearances or PMA approvals that have already been granted;

●

refusal to grant export or import approvals for our products; or

●

criminal prosecution.

International Regulation

Many countries throughout the world have established regulatory frameworks for marketing and commercialization of medical devices. As a designer and marketer of medical devices, we are obligated to comply with the respective frameworks of these countries to obtain and maintain access to these global markets. The frameworks often define requirements for marketing authorizations which vary by country. Failure to obtain appropriate marketing authorization and to meet all local requirements, including specific quality and safety standards in any country in which we currently market our products, could cause commercial disruption and/or subject us to sanctions and fines. Delays in receipt of, or a failure to receive, such marketing authorizations, or the loss of any previously received authorizations, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

There is currently no premarket government review of medical devices in the European Economic Area (“EEA”). However, all medical devices placed on the market in the EEA must meet the relevant essential requirements laid down in Annex I of Directive 93/42/EEC concerning medical devices, or the Medical Devices Directive. The most fundamental essential requirement is that a medical device must be designed and manufactured in such a way that it will not compromise the clinical condition or safety of patients, or the safety and health of users and others. In addition, the device must achieve the performances intended by the manufacturer and be designed, manufactured, and packaged in a suitable manner. The European Commission has adopted various standards applicable to medical devices. These include standards governing common requirements, such as sterilization and safety of medical electrical equipment, and product standards for certain types of medical devices. There are also harmonized standards relating to design and manufacture. While not mandatory, compliance with these standards is viewed as the easiest way to satisfy the essential requirements as a practical matter. Compliance with a standard developed to implement an essential requirement also creates a rebuttable presumption that the device satisfies that essential requirement.

●

strengthen the rules on placing devices on the market and reinforce surveillance once they are available;

●

improve the traceability of medical devices throughout the supply chain to the end-user or patient through a unique identification number;

●

set up a central database to provide patients, healthcare professionals, and the public with comprehensive information on products available in the E.U.; and

●

strengthen rules for the assessment of certain high-risk devices, such as implants, which may have to undergo an additional check by experts before they are placed on the market.

We received our European CE mark, indicating that we affirm our product’s conformity with European health, safety and environmental protection standards, in 2021.

Healthcare Regulatory Laws

Within the United States, our products are subject to extensive regulation by a wide range of federal and state agencies that govern business practices in the medical device industry. These laws include federal and state anti-kickback, fraud and abuse, false claims and physician payment transparency laws and regulations.

The federal Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits, among other things, knowingly and willfully offering, paying, soliciting or receiving any remuneration (including any kickback, bribe or rebate), directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly, to induce or in return for purchasing, leasing, ordering or arranging for or recommending the purchase, lease or order of any good, facility, item or service reimbursable, in whole or part by Medicare, Medicaid or other federal healthcare programs. The term “remuneration” has been broadly interpreted to include anything of value, including cash, improper discounts, and free or reduced price items and services. Among other things, the Anti-Kickback Statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements between medical device manufacturers on the one hand and prescribers and purchasers on the other. Although there are a number of statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practices that involve remuneration that may be alleged to be intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualify for an exception or safe harbor.

Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make the conduct per se illegal under the Anti-Kickback Statute. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis based on a cumulative review of all of its facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of an arrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal healthcare covered business, the Anti-Kickback Statute has been violated. In addition, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate, in order to have committed a violation. Further, a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute also constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the federal civil False Claims Act. Many states have adopted laws similar to the Anti-Kickback Statute. Some of these state prohibitions apply to referral of patients for healthcare items or services reimbursed by any payor, not only the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Commercial payors may also bring a private cause of action for treble damages against a manufacturer for a pattern of causing false claims to be filed under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO.

The federal civil False Claims Act prohibits, among other things, any person or entity from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, a false or fraudulent claim for payment to or approval by the federal government or knowingly making, using or causing to be made or used a false record or statement material to a false or fraudulent claim to the federal government. A claim includes “any request or demand” for money or property presented to the U.S. government. The qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act allow a private individual to bring actions on behalf of the federal government alleging that the defendant has submitted a false claim to the federal government, and to share in any monetary recovery. In recent years, the number of suits brought against healthcare providers by private individuals has increased dramatically. The government has obtained multi-million and multi-billion dollar settlements under the False Claims Act in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminal statutes. In addition, the federal civil monetary penalties statute imposes penalties against any person or entity that, among other things, is determined to have presented or caused to be presented a claim to a federal health program that the person knows or should know is for an item or service that was not provided as claimed or is false or fraudulent. Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, it is expected that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigating healthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws. Various states have also enacted false claim laws analogous to the federal civil False Claims Act, although many of these state laws apply where a claim is submitted to any third-party payor and not merely a federal healthcare program.

The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, or HIPAA, among other things, created two new federal crimes: healthcare fraud and false statements relating to healthcare matters. The HIPAA healthcare fraud statute prohibits, among other things, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private payors. A violation of this statute is a felony and may result in fines, imprisonment and/or exclusion from government sponsored programs. The HIPAA false statements statute prohibits, among other things, knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement or representation in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services. A violation of this statute is a felony and may result in fines and/or imprisonment. Similar to the Anti-Kickback Statute, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of these statutes or specific intent to violate them in order to have committed a violation.

Additionally, there has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and other healthcare providers. The ACA, imposed, among other things, new annual reporting requirements for covered manufacturers for certain payments and “transfers of value” provided to physicians and certain other healthcare providers and teaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. In addition, certain states require implementation of compliance programs and compliance with the device industry’s voluntary compliance guidelines and the relevant compliance guidance promulgated by the federal government, impose restrictions on marketing practices, and/or tracking and reporting of gifts, compensation and other remuneration or items of value provided to physicians and other healthcare professionals and entities.

Health Information Privacy and Security Laws

There are numerous U.S. federal and state laws and regulations related to the privacy and security of Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”), including health information. Among others, the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by HITECH, and their implementing regulations, which we collectively refer to as HIPAA, establish privacy and security standards that limit the use and disclosure of Protected Health Information (“PHI”) and require covered entities and business associates to implement administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of individually identifiable health information in electronic form, among other requirements.

Violations of HIPAA may result in civil and criminal penalties. We must also comply with HIPAA’s breach notification rule which requires notification to affected individuals and HHS, and in certain cases to media outlets, in the case of a breach of unsecured PHI. The regulations also require business associates of covered entities to notify the covered entity of breaches by the business associate.

Many states also have laws that protect the privacy and security of sensitive and personal information, including health information. These laws may be similar to or even more protective than HIPAA and other federal privacy laws. For example, the laws of the State of California, are more restrictive than HIPAA. Where state laws are more protective than HIPAA, we must comply with the state laws we are subject to, in addition to HIPAA. California passed the California Consumer Privacy Act or CCPA on June 28, 2018, which went into effect January 1, 2020. On November 3, 2020, the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CPRA”), which amends the CCPA and adds new privacy protections that became effective on January 1, 2023, was enacted through a ballot initiative. While information we maintain that is covered by HIPAA may be exempt from the CCPA, other records and information we maintain on our patients may be subject to the CCPA. In certain cases, it may be necessary to modify our planned operations and procedures to comply with these more stringent state laws. Not only may some of these state laws impose fines and penalties upon violators, but also some, unlike HIPAA, may afford private rights of action to individuals who believe their personal information has been misused. In addition, state and federal privacy laws subject to frequent change.

Foreign data protection, privacy, and other laws and regulations are often more restrictive than those in the U.S. The E.U., for example, traditionally has imposed stricter obligations under its laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection and consumer protection than the U.S. In May 2018, the GDPR, governing data practices and privacy in the E.U., became effective and replaced the data protection laws of the individual member states. GDPR requires companies to meet stringent requirements regarding the handling of personal data of individuals in the E.U. These more stringent requirements include expanded disclosures to inform members about how we may use their personal data, increased controls on profiling members, and increased rights for members to access, control and delete their personal data. In addition, there are mandatory data breach notification requirements. The law also includes significant penalties for non-compliance, which may result in monetary penalties of up to 20 million Euros or 4% of a company’s worldwide turnover, whichever is higher. GDPR and other similar regulations require companies to give specific types of notice and informed consent is required for the placement of a cookie or similar technologies on a user’s device for online tracking for behavioral advertising and other purposes and for direct electronic marketing, and the GDPR also imposes additional conditions in order to satisfy such consent, such as a prohibition on pre-checked consents. It remains unclear how the U.K. data protection laws or regulations will develop in the medium to longer term and how data transfer to the U.K. from the E.U. will be regulated. Outside of the E.U., there are many other countries with data protection laws, and new countries are adopting data protection legislation with increasing frequency.

Many of these laws may require consent from individuals for the use of data for various purposes, including marketing, which may reduce our ability to market our products.

Facilities

We do not own any real property or facilities. In connection with the Merger, we assumed the lease of WaveDancer’s principal executive offices, which such lease will expire in November 2024, and which we do not intend to renew. If we advance our business operations, we may seek to lease facilities of our own in order to support our operational and administrative needs. There can be no assurance that such facilities will be available, or that they will be available on suitable terms. Our inability to obtain such facilities could have a material adverse effect on our future plans and operations.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become party to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Such legal proceedings may negatively impact our business and financial position, result in brand or reputational harm, and divert the attention of our management from core operations of our business. We are currently not a party to any material legal proceedings.

Corporate History and Structure

Firefly’s corporate history began in April 2006 with the formation of Elminda Ltd, a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel, for the purpose of developing a system to provide clinicians with an objective assessment of brain electrophysiology to support better outcomes for people with mental illnesses and cognitive disorders.

Firefly spent over ten years building a significant database of standardized longitudinal EEG brain scans using clinically defined paradigms that captured patients brain activity while resting and while activated (evoke response potential). Firefly collected this data in over 100 sites, over 20 countries, and over 40 studies. Significant time and resources went into analyzing and interpreting the data as well as preparing for an FDA 510k application process.

On May 2, 2014, management of Firefly Neuroscience Ltd. incorporated a new wholly owned subsidiary company named “Elminda Inc.” in the State of Delaware for the purpose of initiating the company’s United States marketing and distribution activity.

In July 2014, Firefly received Class II medical device 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) for the BNA Analysis System, the predicate device to the BNA Platform, with indication for use in individuals 14 to 24 years of age.

In September 2014, the company received the Conformity European approval for the BNA Platform allowing use in European Economic Area.

In December 2020, Firefly received Class II medical device 510(k) clearance from the FDA for Firefly’s current product, the BNA Platform, with indication for use in individuals 12 to 85 years of age.

On April 13, 2022, the name of Elminda Inc. was changed to “Elminda 2022 Inc.”

On April 21, 2022, management of Firefly Neuroscience Ltd. incorporated a new wholly owned subsidiary company named “Elminda Inc.” for the purpose of re-domiciling the company to enhance access to capital markets.

On July 5, 2022, Elminda Ltd. became a subsidiary of Elminda Inc. via a share exchange agreement wherein Elminda Inc. issued shares to shareholders of Elminda Ltd. against shares of Elminda Ltd.

On September 15, 2022 and October 24, 2022 management changed the name from Elminda Inc. and Elminda Ltd, respectively, to “Firefly Neuroscience, Inc.” and “Firefly Neuroscience Ltd.”, respectively.

On August 12, 2024, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, FFN merged with and into Firefly Neuroscience, Inc., with Firefly Neuroscience, Inc. surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of WaveDancer, Inc. On the Closing Date (i) pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of WaveDancer, we changed our name to Firefly Neuroscience, Inc. and (ii) pursuant to an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation, Firefly changed its name to Firefly Neuroscience 2023, Inc. and (iii) Firefly and FFN filed the Certificate of Merger with the State of Delaware.

The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated Bylaws contain certain provisions relating to limitations of liability and indemnification of directors and certain officers, provide advance notice procedures for stockholder proposals at stockholder meetings, and other matters. See “Description of Capital Stock – Anti-Takeover Provisions” and “Management – Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Certain Officers”.

Our fiscal year ends on December 31. Neither we nor any of our predecessors have been in bankruptcy, receivership or any similar proceeding.

Corporate Governance

Composition of the Board of Directors

Our business and affairs are organized under the direction of the Board. The Board consists of five (5) members. The primary responsibilities of the Board are to provide oversight, strategic guidance, counseling and direction to our management. The Board meets on a regular basis and additionally as it deems necessary.

In accordance with the terms of the Charter, the Board is divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III, with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term, except as described below.

•

The Class I directors consist of David DeCaprio and Greg Lipschitz, whose terms will expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders to be held following the filing of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Filing Date”);

•

The Class II directors consist of Brian Posner and Stella Vnook, whose terms will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders to be held following the Filing Date.

At each annual meeting of stockholders to be held after the initial classification, the successors to directors whose terms then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following their election and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. This classification of the Board may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in our control or management. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors.

Board Leadership Structure

Director Independence

We are required to comply with Nasdaq’s rules in determining whether a director is independent. The Board undertook a review of the independence of the individuals named above and determined that each of the directors except Greg Lipschitz and David DeCaprio qualify as “independent” as defined under the applicable Nasdaq rules.

The Nasdaq definition of “independence” includes a series of objective tests, such as the director or director nominee is not, and was not during the last three years, our employee and has not received certain payments from, or engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, the Board has made a subjective determination that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with such individual’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities as a director. In making these determinations, the Board has reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors with regard to each director’s business and personal activities as they may relate us and our management.

Authorized Shares. A total of 300,000 shares of Firefly Common Stock have been authorized for the grant of awards under the Firefly 2007 Incentive Plan.

Plan Administration. The Firefly 2007 Incentive Plan is administered by the Board, either directly or upon the recommendation of any committee of the Board so appointed by the Board (the “Committee”). Except as otherwise provided in the Firefly 2007 Incentive Plan, the Committee shall have the power to recommend to the Board, and the Board has full power and authority, to designate optionees, determine the terms and provisions of stock option agreements, determine the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock covered by each stock option, classify whether an award shall be granted pursuant to Section 102 (as defined below) or Section 3(i) (as defined below), designate grants made pursuant to Section 102 as either grants made through a trustee or not through a trustee, alter any restrictions and conditions of any awards, and make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Firefly 2007 Incentive Plan.

Stock Options. The Firefly 2007 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of stock options pursuant and subject to (i) Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance (New Version), 1961 (the “Income Tax Ordinance”) or any provision which may amend or replace it and any regulations, rules, orders or procedures promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Section 102”) and to classify them as (x) either grants made through a trustee or not through a trustee; and (y) grants qualified under capital gain or ordinary income tax treatment; and (ii) Section 3(i) of the Income Tax Ordinance (“Section 3(i)”).

The purchase price of each share of Common Stock shall be determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion in accordance with applicable law, subject to any guidelines as may be determined by the Board from time to time.

Options may be exercised by the optionee by giving written notice to Firefly and/or to any third party designated by Firefly, in such form and method as may be determined by Firefly and when applicable, by the trustee in accordance with the requirements of Section 102, which exercise shall be effective upon receipt of such notice and the payment of the purchase price.

With respect to all shares of Common Stock allocated or issued upon the exercise of options purchased by the optionee and held by the optionee or by the trustee, as the case may be, the optionee shall be entitled to receive dividends in accordance with the quantity of such shares of Common Stock, subject to Firefly’s Articles of Association (and all amendments thereto) and any applicable taxation on distribution of dividends and, when applicable, subject to the provisions of Section 102 and the rules, regulations or orders promulgated thereunder.

Certain Adjustments; Corporate Transaction Events. In the event of a merger, acquisition or reorganization of Firefly with one or more other entities in which Firefly is not the surviving entity or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Firefly, the Board or the Committee may resolve that the unexercised options then outstanding under the Firefly 2007 Incentive Plan shall be assumed or substituted for an appropriate number of shares or other securities of the successor company (or a parent or subsidiary of the successor company) as were distributed to the shareholders of Firefly in connection and with respect to such a transaction. In the case of such assumption and/or substitution of options, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the purchase price so as to reflect such action and all other terms and conditions of the option agreements shall remain unchanged, including, but not limited to, the vesting schedule, subject to the determination of the Committee or the Board, which determination shall be in their sole and absolute discretion.

Amendment, Termination. The Board may at any time, but when applicable, after consultation with the trustee, amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Firefly 2007 Incentive Plan. No amendment, alteration, suspension, or termination of the Firefly 2007 Incentive Plan shall impair the rights of any optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the optionee and Firefly, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the optionee and Firefly. Termination of the Firefly 2007 Incentive Plan shall not affect the Committee’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it under the Firefly 2007 Incentive Plan prior to the date of such termination.

Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan

Firefly adopted the Firefly 2023 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan”) on July 8, 2023. The Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan was adopted to advance the interest of Firefly’s stockholders by enhancing Firefly’s ability to attract, retain, and motivate persons who are expected to make important contributions to Firefly by (i) providing Firefly with a mechanism to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified directors, officers, employees and consultants, (ii) aligning the interests of such persons with those of Firefly’s stockholders, and (iii) enabling and encouraging such persons to participate in the long-term growth of Firefly. The Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan authorizes the grant of stock options, share appreciation rights, deferred share units, restricted share units, and performance share units, or a combination of the foregoing.

At the effective time of the merger, we assumed all of Firefly’s rights and obligations under all stock options granted under the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan that are outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. In addition, the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan will be assumed by WaveDancer at the effective time of the merger, provided that no additional awards may be issued thereunder.

Authorized Shares. A total of 4,440,355 shares of Common Stock have been authorized for the grant of awards under the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan.

Plan Administration. The Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan is administered by the Firefly board of directors or if so delegated in whole or in part by the Firefly board of directors, the Compensation Committee of the Firefly board of directors, or any other duly authorized committee of the board of directors appointed by the board of directors to administer the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan (the “Committee”). The Committee shall have full and exclusive discretionary power to interpret the terms and the intent of the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan and any award agreement or other agreement ancillary to or in connection with the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan, to determine eligibility for awards, and to adopt such rules, regulations and guidelines for administering the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan as the Committee may deem necessary or proper. Such authority shall include, but not be limited to, selecting award recipients, establishing all award terms and conditions, including grant, exercise price, issue price and vesting terms, whether awards payout in cash or shares where applicable, determining any performance goals applicable to awards and whether such performance goals have been achieved and adopting modifications and amendments to the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan or any award agreement, including, without limitation, any that are necessary or appropriate to comply with the laws or compensation practices of the jurisdictions in which Firefly and its affiliates operate.

Stock Options. Options granted under the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan may be granted to participants in such number, and upon such terms, and at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Committee in its discretion. Each stock option grant shall be evidenced by an award agreement that shall specify the option price, the duration of the option, the number of shares to which the option pertains, the conditions, if any, upon which an option shall become vested and exercisable, and any such other provisions as the Committee shall determine. Options may not have an exercise price per share of less than 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date of grant. Subject to any provisions of the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan or the applicable award agreement relating to acceleration of vesting of options, regulatory requirements and the policies of the designated stock exchange or trading platform, the Committee shall determine the vesting provisions of each grant of options at the time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, options granted to any consultant or persons retained to provide investor relations activities shall vest in stages over a period of not less than twelve months with no more than one-quarter of the options vesting in any three-month period. Each option shall expire at such time as the Committee shall determine at the time of grant, provided, however, that, subject to any blackout periods, no option shall be exercisable later than the seventh anniversary date of its grant. The treatment of options under the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan upon a participant’s termination of employment with or service to Firefly is set forth in the applicable award agreement or the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan, but in no event can options terminate more than one year following the participant’s termination.

Share Appreciation Rights (“SARS”). Subject to any provisions of the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan or an applicable award agreement, SARs may be granted to participants at any time and from time to time and upon such terms as shall be determined by the Committee in its discretion. Each SAR award shall be evidenced by an award agreement that shall specify the grant price, the term, and any such other provisions as the Committee shall determine. No SAR shall be exercisable later than the tenth anniversary date of its grant. Upon the exercise of a SAR, a participant shall be entitled to receive payment from Firefly in an amount representing the difference between the of the underlying shares on the date of exercise over the grant price. At the discretion of the Committee, the payment upon the exercise of a SAR may be in cash, shares of equivalent value (based on the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise of the SAR, as defined in the award agreement or otherwise defined by the Committee thereafter), in some combination thereof, or in any other form approved by the Committee at its sole discretion. The treatment of SARs under the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan upon a participant’s termination of employment with or service to Firefly is set forth in the applicable award agreement or the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan, but in no event can SARs terminate more than one year following the participant’s termination.

Deferred Share Units. Subject to any provisions of the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan or an applicable award agreement, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Deferred Share Units to participants in such amounts and upon such terms as the Committee shall determine. Each Deferred Share Unit grant shall be evidenced by an award agreement that shall specify the number of Deferred Share Units granted, the settlement date for Deferred Share Units, and any other provisions as the Committee shall determine, including, but not limited to, a requirement that participants pay a stipulated purchase price for each Deferred Share Unit, restrictions based upon the achievement of specific performance criteria, time-based restrictions, restrictions under applicable laws or other requirements, or holding requirements or sale restrictions placed on the shares upon vesting of such Deferred Share Units. The treatment of Deferred Share Units under the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan upon a participant’s termination of employment with or service to Firefly is set forth in the applicable award agreement or the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan, but in no event can Deferred Share Units terminate more than one year following the participant’s termination.

Restricted Share Units. Subject to any provisions of the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan or an applicable award agreement, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Restricted Share Units to participants in such amounts and upon such terms as the Committee shall determine. Each Restricted Share Unit grant shall be evidenced by an award agreement that shall specify the period of any restrictions, the number of Restricted Share Units granted, the settlement date for Restricted Share Units, whether such Restricted Share Unit is settled in cash, shares or a combination thereof or if the form of payment is reserved for later determination by the Committee, and any such other provisions as the Committee shall determine, provided that unless otherwise determined by the Committee or as set out in any award agreement. The Committee shall impose, in the award agreement at the time of grant, such other conditions and/or restrictions on any Restricted Share Units granted pursuant to the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions based upon the achievement of specific performance criteria, time-based restrictions on vesting following the attainment of the performance criteria, time-based restrictions, restrictions under applicable laws or other requirements.

Performance Share Units. Subject to any provisions of the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan or an applicable award agreement, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Performance Share Units to participants in such amounts and upon such terms as the Committee shall determine. Each Performance Share Unit shall have an initial value equal to the fair market value of a share on the date of grant. The Committee shall set performance criteria for a performance period in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine, in the manner determined by the Committee and set forth in the award agreement, the value and/or number of each Performance Share Unit that will be paid to the participant. Subject to the terms of the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan and the applicable award agreement, after the applicable performance period has ended, the holder of Performance Share Units shall be entitled to receive payout on the value and number of Performance Share Units, determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance criteria have been achieved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Firefly shall have the ability to require the participant to hold any shares received pursuant to such award for a specified period of time. Payment of earned Performance Share Units shall be as determined by the Committee and as set forth in the award agreement. Subject to the terms of the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance Share Units in the form of: (i) cash equal to the value of the earned Performance Share Units at the end of the applicable performance period, (ii) a number of shares issued from treasury equal to the number of earned Performance Share Units at the end of the applicable performance period, or (iii) in a combination thereof in the discretion of Firefly. Any shares may be granted subject to any restrictions deemed appropriate by the Committee. The determination of the Committee with respect to the form of payout of such awards shall be set forth in the award agreement for the grant of the award or reserved for later determination. The treatment of Performance Share Units under the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan upon a participant’s termination of employment with or service to Firefly is set forth in the applicable award agreement or the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan, but in no event can Performance Share Units terminate more than one year following the participant’s termination.

Certain Adjustments; Corporate Reorganization Events. In the event of any corporate event or transaction (collectively, a “Corporate Reorganization”) (including, but not limited to, a change in the shares or the capitalization of Firefly) such as a merger, arrangement, amalgamation, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, separation, stock dividend, extraordinary dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split up, spin-off or other distribution of stock or property of Firefly, combination of securities, exchange of securities, dividend in kind, or other like change in capital structure or distribution (other than normal cash dividends) to stockholders of Firefly, or any similar corporate event or transaction, the Committee shall make or provide for such adjustments or substitutions, as applicable, in the number and kind of shares that may be issued under the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan, the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding awards, the option price or grant price applicable to outstanding awards, the limit on issuing awards other than options granted with an option price equal to at least the fair market value of a share on the date of grant or SARs with a grant price equal to at least the fair market value of a share on the date of grant, and any other value determinations applicable to outstanding awards or to the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan, as are equitably necessary to prevent dilution or enlargement of participants’ rights under the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan that otherwise would result from such corporate event or transaction. In connection with a Corporate Reorganization, the Committee shall have the discretion to permit a holder of options to purchase (at the times, for the consideration, and subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan and the applicable award agreement) and the holder will then accept on the exercise of such option, in lieu of the shares that such holder would otherwise have been entitled to purchase, the kind and amount of shares or other securities or property that such holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Corporate Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, that holder had owned all shares that were subject to the option. Such adjustments shall be made automatically, without the necessity of Committee action, on the customary arithmetical basis in the case of any stock split, including a stock split effected by means of a stock dividend, and in the case of any other dividend paid in shares.

The Committee shall also make appropriate adjustments in the terms of any awards under the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan as are equitably necessary to reflect such Corporate Reorganization and may modify any other terms of outstanding awards, including modifications of performance criteria and changes in the length of performance periods. The determination of the Committee as to the foregoing adjustments, if any, shall be conclusive and binding on participants under the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan, provided that any such adjustments must comply with Section 409A of the Code with respect to any U.S. participants. Subject to the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan and any applicable law or regulatory requirement, without affecting the number of shares reserved or available hereunder, the Committee may authorize the issuance, assumption, substitution or conversion of awards under the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan in connection with any Corporate Reorganization, upon such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate. Additionally, the Committee may amend the 2024 Plan, or adopt supplements to the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan, in such manner as it deems appropriate to provide for such issuance, assumption, substitution or conversion as provided in the previous sentence.

Amendment, Termination. The Firefly board at any time, and from time to time, may amend or suspend any provision of an award or the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan, or terminate the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan, subject to those provisions that require the approval of security holders or any governmental or regulatory body regardless of whether any such amendment or suspension is material, fundamental or otherwise, and notwithstanding any rule of common law or equity to the contrary.

Firefly Neuroscience, Inc. 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan

Prior to the consummation of the Merger, at a special meeting of WaveDancer’s stockholders on March 14, 2024, the stockholders of WaveDancer considered and approved the WaveDancer 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “WaveDancer Incentive Plan”). The WaveDancer Incentive Plan was previously approved and adopted, subject to stockholder approval, by the WaveDancer Board on February 1, 2024. On the Closing Date and following the consummation of the Merger, the Board approved the adoption of the WaveDancer Incentive Plan and to change the name of the WaveDancer Incentive Plan to the Firefly Neuroscience, Inc. 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

Purpose. The purpose of the 2024 Plan is to enable us to remain competitive and innovative in our ability to attract and retain the services of our key employees, key contractors, and non-employee directors of Firefly or any of our subsidiaries. The 2024 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, and other awards, which may be granted singly, in combination, or in tandem, and which may be paid in cash or shares of our Common Stock. The 2024 Plan is expected to provide flexibility to our compensation methods in order to adapt the compensation of our key employees, key contractors, and non-employee directors to a changing business environment, after giving due consideration to competitive conditions and the impact of applicable tax laws.

2024 Plan Effective Date and Expiration. The 2024 Plan was approved by our board of directors on February 1, 2024, subject to the 2024 Plan’s approval by our stockholders, and will become effective on the date of such approval (the “2024 Plan Effective Date”). The 2024 Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the 2024 Plan Effective Date, unless sooner terminated by our board of directors. No awards may be made under the 2024 Plan after its termination date, but awards made prior to the termination date may extend beyond that date in accordance with their terms.

Share Authorization. Subject to certain adjustments, the number of shares of our Common Stock that are reserved for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2024 Plan is eight hundred thirty-three thousand three hundred thirty-three (833,333) shares, 100% of which may be delivered as incentive stock options. Shares to be issued may be made available from authorized but unissued shares of our Common Stock, shares held by us in our treasury, or shares purchased by us on the open market or otherwise. During the term of the 2024 Plan, we will at all times reserve and keep enough shares available to satisfy the requirements of the 2024 Plan. If an award under the 2024 Plan is cancelled, forfeited, or expires, in whole or in part, the shares subject to such forfeited, expired, or cancelled award may again be awarded under the 2024 Plan. Awards that may be satisfied either by the issuance of Common Stock or by cash or other consideration shall be counted against the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the 2024 Plan only during the period that the award is outstanding or to the extent the award is ultimately satisfied by the issuance of shares. An award will not reduce the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the 2024 Plan if the settlement of the award will not require the issuance of shares, as, for example, a stock appreciation right that can be satisfied only by the payment of cash. Shares of Common Stock that are otherwise deliverable pursuant to an award under the 2024 Plan that are withheld in payment of the option price of an option or for payment of applicable employment taxes and/or withholding obligations resulting from the award shall be treated as delivered to the award recipient and shall be counted against the maximum number of shares of our Common Stock that may be issued under the 2024 Plan. Only shares forfeited back to us or cancelled on account of termination, expiration, or lapse of an award shall again be available for grant of incentive stock options under the 2024 Plan but shall not increase the maximum number of shares described above as the maximum number of shares of our Common Stock that may be delivered pursuant to incentive stock options.

Administration. Subject to the terms of the 2024 Plan, the 2024 Plan shall be administered by the Board or such committee of the Board of Directors as is designated by the Board of Directors to administer the 2024 Plan (the “Committee”). Membership on the Committee shall be limited to “non-employee directors” in accordance with Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Committee may delegate certain duties to one or more officers as provided in the 2024 Plan. The Committee will determine the persons to whom awards are to be made, determine the type, size and terms of awards, interpret the 2024 Plan, establish and revise rules and regulations relating to the 2024 Plan and make any other determinations that it believes necessary for the administration of the 2024 Plan.

Eligibility. Employees (including any employee who is also a director or an officer), contractors, and non-employee directors of Firefly or any of our subsidiaries, whose judgment, initiative, and efforts contributed to or may be expected to contribute to our successful performance, are eligible to participate in the 2024 Plan. As of the date of this prospectus, we have twenty full time employees and two contractors who would be eligible for awards under the 2024 Plan.

Stock Options. The Committee may grant either incentive stock options (“ISOs”) qualifying under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or nonqualified stock options, provided that only employees of Firefly and our subsidiaries (excluding subsidiaries that are not corporations) are eligible to receive ISOs. Stock options may not be granted with an option price less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date the stock option is granted. If an ISO is granted to an employee who owns or is deemed to own more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of our stock (or of any parent or subsidiary), the option price shall be at least 110% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant. The Committee will determine the terms of each stock option at the time of grant, including, without limitation, the methods by or forms in which shares will be delivered to participants or registered in their names. The maximum term of each option, the times at which each option will be exercisable, and provisions requiring forfeiture of unexercised options at or following termination of employment or service generally are fixed by the Committee, except that the Committee may not grant stock options with a term exceeding 10 years or, in the case of an ISO granted to an employee who owns or is deemed to own more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of our stock (or of any parent or subsidiary), a term exceeding five years.

Recipients of stock options may pay the option price (i) in cash, check, bank draft, or money order payable to the order of Firefly; (ii) by delivering to us shares of our Common Stock (included restricted stock) already owned by the participant having a fair market value equal to the aggregate option price and that the participant has not acquired from us within six months prior to the exercise date; (iii) by delivering to us or our designated agent an executed irrevocable option exercise form, together with irrevocable instructions from the participant to a broker or dealer, reasonably acceptable to us, to sell certain of the shares purchased upon the exercise of the option or to pledge such shares to the broker as collateral for a loan from the broker and to deliver to us the amount of sale or loan proceeds necessary to pay the purchase price; (iv) by requesting us to withhold the number of shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise of the stock option by the number of shares having an aggregate fair market value equal to the aggregate option price at the time of exercise (i.e., a cashless net exercise); and (v) by any other form of valid consideration that is acceptable to the Committee in its sole discretion. No dividends or dividend equivalent rights may be paid or granted with respect to any stock options granted under the 2024 Plan.

Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee is authorized to grant stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) as a stand-alone award, or freestanding SARs, or in conjunction with options granted under the 2024 Plan, or tandem SARs. SARs entitle a participant to receive an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise over the fair market value of a share of our Common Stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of a SAR cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of our Common Stock on the date of grant. The Committee will determine the terms of each SAR at the time of the grant, including, without limitation, the methods by or forms in which shares will be delivered to participants or registered in their names. The maximum term of each SAR, the times at which each SAR will be exercisable, and provisions requiring forfeiture of unexercised SARs at or following termination of employment or service generally are fixed by the Committee, except that no freestanding SAR may have a term exceeding 10 years and no tandem SAR may have a term exceeding the term of the option granted in conjunction with the tandem SAR. Distributions to the recipient may be made in Common Stock, cash, or a combination of both as determined by the Committee. No dividends or dividend equivalent rights may be paid or granted with respect to any SARs granted under the 2024 Plan.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. The Committee is authorized to grant restricted stock and restricted stock units. Restricted stock consists of shares of our Common Stock that may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered, or otherwise disposed of, and that may be forfeited in the event of certain terminations of employment or service, prior to the end of a restricted period as specified by the Committee. Restricted stock units are the right to receive shares of Common Stock at a future date in accordance with the terms of such grant upon the attainment of certain conditions specified by the Committee, which include a substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on their sale or other transfer by the participant. The Committee determines the eligible participants to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of restricted stock or restricted stock units will be made; the number of shares or units to be granted; the price to be paid, if any; the time or times within which the shares covered by such grants will be subject to forfeiture; the time or times at which the restrictions will terminate; and all other terms and conditions of the grants. Restrictions or conditions could include, but are not limited to, the attainment of performance goals (as described below), continuous service with us, the passage of time, or other restrictions and conditions. Except as otherwise provided in the 2024 Plan or the applicable award agreement, a participant shall have, with respect to shares of restricted stock, all of the rights of a stockholder of Firefly holding the class of Common Stock that is the subject of the restricted stock, including, if applicable, the right to vote the Common Stock and the right to receive any dividends thereon.

Performance Awards. The Committee may grant performance awards payable at the end of a specified performance period in cash, shares of Common Stock, units, or other rights based upon, payable in, or otherwise related to our Common Stock. Payment will be contingent upon achieving pre-established performance goals (as discussed below) by the end of the applicable performance period. The Committee will determine the length of the performance period, the maximum payment value of an award, and the minimum performance goals required before payment will be made, so long as such provisions are not inconsistent with the terms of the 2024 Plan and, to the extent an award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, are in compliance with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code and any applicable regulations or guidance. In certain circumstances, the Committee may, in its discretion, determine that the amount payable with respect to certain performance awards will be reduced from the maximum amount of any potential awards. If the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that the established performance measures or objectives are no longer suitable because of a change in our business, operations, corporate structure, or for other reasons that the Committee deems satisfactory, the Committee may modify the performance measures or objectives and/or the performance period.

Performance Goals. Awards (whether relating to cash or Common Stock) under the 2024 Plan may be made subject to the attainment of performance goals relating to one or more business criteria, and may consist of one or more or any combination of the following criteria: cash flow; cost; revenues; sales; ratio of debt to debt plus equity; net borrowing, credit quality or debt ratings; profit before tax; economic profit; earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; gross margin; earnings per share (whether on a pre-tax, after-tax, operational or other basis); operating earnings; capital expenditures; expenses or expense levels; economic value added; ratio of operating earnings to capital spending or any other operating ratios; free cash flow; net profit; net sales; net asset value per share; the accomplishment of mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, public offerings or similar extraordinary business transactions; sales growth; price of our Common Stock; return on assets, equity or stockholders’ equity; market share; inventory levels, inventory turn or shrinkage; total return to stockholders; or any other criteria determined by the Committee (“Performance Criteria”). Any Performance Criteria may be used to measure the performance of Firefly as a whole or any business unit of Firefly and may be measured relative to a peer group or index. Any Performance Criteria may include or exclude (i) events that are of an unusual nature or indicate infrequency of occurrence, (ii) gains or losses on the disposition of a business, (iii) changes in tax or accounting regulations or laws, (iv) the effect of a merger or acquisition, as identified in our quarterly and annual earnings releases, or (v) other similar occurrences. In all other respects, Performance Criteria shall be calculated in accordance with our financial statements, under generally accepted accounting principles, or under a methodology established by the Committee prior to the issuance of an award which is consistently applied and identified in the audited financial statements, including footnotes, or the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of our annual report.

Other Awards. The Committee may grant other forms of awards, based upon, payable in, or that otherwise relate to, in whole or in part, shares of our Common Stock, if the Committee determines that such other form of award is consistent with the purpose and restrictions of the 2024 Plan. The terms and conditions of such other form of award shall be specified in the grant. Such other awards may be granted for no cash consideration, for such minimum consideration as may be required by applicable law, or for such other consideration as may be specified in the grant.

Vesting of Awards, Forfeiture, Assignment. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine that an award will be immediately vested, in whole or in part, or that all or any portion may not be vested until a date, or dates, subsequent to its date of grant, or until the occurrence of one or more specified events, subject in any case to the terms of the 2024 Plan. If the Committee imposes conditions upon vesting, then, subsequent to the date of grant, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the date on which all or any portion of the award may be vested.

The Committee may impose on any award at the time of grant or thereafter, such additional terms and conditions as the Committee determines, including terms requiring forfeiture of awards in the event of a participant’s termination of employment or service. The Committee will specify the circumstances on which performance awards may be forfeited in the event of a termination of service by a participant prior to the end of a performance period or settlement of awards. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, restricted stock will be forfeited upon a participant’s termination of employment or service during the applicable restriction period. In addition, we may recoup all or any portion of any shares or cash paid to a participant in connection with any award in the event of a restatement of our financial statements as set forth in our Clawback Policy, if any, as such policy may be approved or modified by our board of directors from time to time.

Awards granted under the 2024 Plan generally are not assignable or transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, except that the Committee may, in its discretion and pursuant to the terms of an award agreement, permit transfers of awards to (i) the spouse (or former spouse), children, or grandchildren of the participant (“Immediate Family Members”); (ii) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of such Immediate Family Members; (iii) a partnership in which the only partners are (a) such Immediate Family Members and/or (b) entities which are controlled by the participant and/or his or her Immediate Family Members; (iv) an entity exempt from federal income tax pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Code or any successor provision; or (v) a split interest trust or pooled income fund described in Section 2522(c)(2) of the Code or any successor provision, provided that (x) there shall be no consideration for any such transfer, (y) the applicable award agreement pursuant to which such awards are granted must be approved by the Committee and must expressly provide for such transferability, and (z) subsequent transfers of awards shall be prohibited except those by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares of our Common Stock, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, rights offering, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, split-off, combination, subdivision, repurchase, or exchange of shares of Common Stock or other securities, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase shares of Common Stock or other securities, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the fair value of an award, then the Committee shall adjust any or all of the following so that the fair value of the award immediately after the transaction or event is equal to the fair value of the award immediately prior to the transaction or event: (i) the number of shares and type of Common Stock (or the securities or property) which thereafter may be made the subject of awards; (ii) the number of shares and type of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding awards; (iii) the option price of each outstanding stock option; (iv) the amount, if any, we pay for forfeited shares in accordance with the terms of the 2024 Plan; and (v) the number of or exercise price of shares then subject to outstanding SARs previously granted and unexercised under the 2024 Plan, to the end that the same proportion of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock in each instance shall remain subject to exercise at the same aggregate exercise price; provided, however, that the number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to any award shall always be a whole number. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such adjustment shall be made or authorized to the extent that such adjustment would cause the 2024 Plan or any stock option to violate Section 422 of the Code or Section 409A of the Code. All such adjustments must be made in accordance with the rules of any securities exchange, stock market, or stock quotation system to which we are subject.

Amendment or Discontinuance of the 2024 Plan. Our board of directors may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of participants, alter, amend, revise, suspend, or discontinue the 2024 Plan in whole or in part; provided, however, that (i) no amendment that requires stockholder approval in order for the 2024 Plan and any awards under the 2024 Plan to continue to comply with Sections 421 and 422 of the Code (including any successors to such sections or other applicable law) or any applicable requirements of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which our stock is listed or traded, shall be effective unless such amendment is approved by the requisite vote of our stockholders entitled to vote on the amendment; and (ii) unless required by law, no action by our board of directors regarding amendment or discontinuance of the 2024 Plan may adversely affect any rights of any participants or obligations to any participants with respect to any outstanding awards under the 2024 Plan without the consent of the affected participant.

No Repricing of Stock Options or SARs. The Committee may not “reprice” any stock option or SAR without stockholder approval. For purposes of the 2024 Plan, “reprice” means any of the following or any other action that has the same effect: (i) amending a stock option or SAR to reduce its exercise price or base price, (ii) canceling a stock option or SAR at a time when its exercise price or base price exceeds the fair market value of a share of Common Stock in exchange for cash or a stock option, SAR, award of restricted stock or other equity award, or (iii) taking any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles, provided that nothing shall prevent the Committee from (x) making adjustments to awards upon changes in capitalization; (y) exchanging or cancelling awards upon a merger, consolidation, or recapitalization, or (z) substituting awards for awards granted by other entities, to the extent permitted by the 2024 Plan.

Recoupment for Restatements. The Committee may recoup all or any portion of any shares or cash paid to a participant in connection with an award, in the event of a restatement of our financial statements as set forth in our Clawback Policy, if any, approved by the Board from time to time.

Clawback Policy

On August 12, 2024, our board of directors adopted a Clawback Policy in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules (the “Clawback Policy”). The Clawback Policy provides that we will recover reasonably promptly the amount of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation to any current or former executive officers in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period. A copy of the Clawback Policy is filed as Exhibit 97.1 to this registration statement.

Pursuant to Rule 10D-1(b) of the Exchange Act, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5608, and the Clawback Policy, the Company conducted a recovery analysis of incentive-based compensation received by its executive officers and that was subject to recovery, to ascertain whether any adjustments were required as a result of the error corrections to the Company’s financial results during the year that are described in Note B to the financial statements included in this registration statement. The recovery analysis concluded that no adjustments to executive compensation were required because the error corrections did not impact any of the measures by which the Company compensated its executives with respect to the compensation received by its executive officers and subject to recovery.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a brief summary of certain federal income tax consequences relating to the transactions described under the 2024 Plan as set forth below. This summary does not purport to address all aspects of federal income taxation and does not describe any potential state, local, or foreign tax consequences. This discussion is based upon provisions of the Code and the applicable treasury regulations issued thereunder, and judicial and administrative interpretations under the Code and treasury regulations, all as in effect as of the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change (possibly on a retroactive basis) or different interpretation.

Law Affecting Deferred Compensation. In 2004, Section 409A was added to the Code to regulate all types of deferred compensation. If the requirements of Section 409A of the Code are not satisfied, deferred compensation and earnings thereon will be subject to tax as it vests, plus an interest charge at the underpayment rate plus 1% and a 20% penalty tax. Certain performance awards, stock options, SARs, restricted stock units, and certain types of restricted stock are subject to Section 409A of the Code.

Incentive Stock Options. A participant will not recognize income at the time an ISO is granted. When a participant exercises an ISO, a participant also generally will not be required to recognize income (either as ordinary income or capital gain). However, to the extent that the fair market value (determined as of the date of grant) of the shares with respect to which the participant’s ISOs are exercisable for the first time during any year exceeds $100,000, the ISOs for the shares over $100,000 will be treated as nonqualified stock options, and not ISOs, for federal tax purposes, and the participant will recognize income as if the ISOs were nonqualified stock options. In addition to the foregoing, if the fair market value of the shares received upon exercise of an ISO exceeds the option price, then the excess may be deemed a tax preference adjustment for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax calculation. The federal alternative minimum tax may produce significant tax repercussions depending upon the participant’s particular tax status.

The tax treatment of any shares acquired by exercise of an ISO will depend upon whether the participant disposes of his or her shares prior to the later of: (i) two years after the date the ISO was granted or (ii) one year after the shares were transferred to the participant (referred to as the “Holding Period”). If a participant disposes of shares acquired by exercise of an ISO after the expiration of the Holding Period, any amount received in excess of the participant’s tax basis for such shares will be treated as a short-term or long-term capital gain, depending upon how long the participant has held the shares. If the amount received is less than the participant’s tax basis for such shares, the loss will be treated as a short-term or long-term capital loss, depending upon how long the participant has held the shares. If the participant disposes of shares acquired by exercise of an ISO prior to the expiration of the Holding Period, the disposition will be considered a “disqualifying disposition.” If the amount received for the shares is greater than the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date, then the difference between the ISO’s option price and the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise will be treated as ordinary income for the tax year in which the “disqualifying disposition” occurs. The participant’s basis in the shares will be increased by an amount equal to the amount treated as ordinary income due to such “disqualifying disposition.” In addition, the amount received in such “disqualifying disposition” over the participant’s increased basis in the shares will be treated as capital gain. However, if the price received for shares acquired by exercise of an ISO is less than the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date and the disposition is a transaction in which the participant sustains a loss which otherwise would be recognizable under the Code, then the amount of ordinary income that the participant will recognize is the excess, if any, of the amount realized on the “disqualifying disposition” over the basis of the shares.

Nonqualified Stock Options. A participant generally will not recognize income at the time a nonqualified stock option is granted. When a participant exercises a nonqualified stock option, the difference between the option price and any higher market value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of exercise will be treated as compensation taxable as ordinary income to the participant. The participant’s tax basis for the shares acquired under a nonqualified stock option will be equal to the option price paid for such shares, plus any amounts included in the participant’s income as compensation. When a participant disposes of shares acquired by exercise of a nonqualified stock option, any amount received in excess of the participant’s tax basis for such shares will be treated as short-term or long-term capital gain, depending upon how long the participant has held the shares. If the amount received is less than the participant’s tax basis for such shares, the loss will be treated as a short-term or long-term capital loss, depending upon how long the participant has held the shares.

Special Rule if Option Price is Paid for in Shares. If a participant pays the option price of a nonqualified stock option with previously-owned shares of our Common Stock and the transaction is not a disqualifying disposition of shares previously acquired under an ISO, the shares received equal to the number of shares surrendered are treated as having been received in a tax-free exchange. The participant’s tax basis and holding period for these shares received will be equal to the participant’s tax basis and holding period for the shares surrendered. The shares received in excess of the number of shares surrendered will be treated as compensation taxable as ordinary income to the participant to the extent of their fair market value. The participant’s tax basis in these shares will be equal to their fair market value on the date of exercise, and the participant’s holding period for such shares will begin on the date of exercise.

If the use of previously acquired shares to pay the option price of a nonqualified stock option constitutes a disqualifying disposition of shares previously acquired under an ISO, the participant will have ordinary income as a result of the disqualifying disposition in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares surrendered, determined at the time such shares were originally acquired on exercise of the ISO, over the aggregate option price paid for such shares. As discussed above, a disqualifying disposition of shares previously acquired under an ISO occurs when the participant disposes of such shares before the end of the Holding Period. The other tax results from paying the option price with previously-owned shares are as described above, except that the participant’s tax basis in the shares that are treated as having been received in a tax-free exchange will be increased by the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant as a result of the disqualifying disposition.

Restricted Stock. A participant who receives restricted stock generally will recognize as ordinary income the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares granted as restricted stock at such time as the shares are no longer subject to forfeiture or restrictions, over the amount paid, if any, by the participant for such shares. However, a participant who receives restricted stock may make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code within 30 days of the date of transfer of the shares to recognize ordinary income on the date of transfer of the shares equal to the excess of the fair market value of such shares (determined without regard to the restrictions on such shares) over the purchase price, if any, of such shares. If a participant does not make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, then the participant will recognize as ordinary income any dividends received with respect to such shares. At the time of sale of such shares, any gain or loss realized by the participant will be treated as either short-term or long-term capital gain (or loss) depending on the holding period. For purposes of determining any gain or loss realized, the participant’s tax basis will be the amount previously taxable as ordinary income, plus the purchase price paid by the participant, if any, for such shares.

Stock Appreciation Rights. Generally, a participant who receives a stand-alone SAR will not recognize taxable income at the time the stand-alone SAR is granted, provided that the SAR is exempt from or complies with Section 409A of the Code. If a participant receives the appreciation inherent in the SARs in cash, the cash will be taxed as ordinary income to the recipient at the time it is received. If a recipient receives the appreciation inherent in the SARs in stock, the spread between the then current market value and the exercise price, if any, will be taxed as ordinary income to the participant at the time it is received.

Other Awards. In the case of an award of restricted stock units, performance awards, or other stock or cash awards, the recipient will generally recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to any cash received and the fair market value of any shares received on the date of payment or delivery, provided that the award is exempt from or complies with Section 409A of the Code. In that taxable year, we will receive a federal income tax deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income which the participant has recognized.

Federal Tax Withholding. Any ordinary income realized by a participant upon the granting, vesting, exercise, or conversion of an award under the 2024 Plan, as applicable, is subject to withholding of applicable federal, state, and local income tax and to withholding of the participant’s share of any tax under the Federal Insurance Contribution Act and the Federal Unemployment Tax Act. To satisfy our federal income tax withholding requirements, we will have the right to require, as a condition to delivery of any certificate for shares of our Common Stock or the registration of the shares in the participant’s name, that the participant remit to us an amount sufficient to satisfy those withholding requirements. Alternatively, we may withhold a portion of the shares (valued at fair market value) that otherwise would be issued to the participant to satisfy all or part of the withholding tax obligations or may, if we consent, accept delivery of shares (that the participant has not acquired from us within six months prior to the date of exercise) with an aggregate fair market value that equals or exceeds the required tax withholding payment. Withholding does not represent an increase in the participant’s total income tax obligation since it is fully credited toward his or her tax liability for the year. Additionally, withholding does not affect the participant’s tax basis in the shares. Compensation income realized and tax withheld will be reflected on Forms W-2 supplied by us to employees no later than January 31 of the succeeding year. Deferred compensation that is subject to Section 409A of the Code will be subject to certain federal income tax withholding and reporting requirements.

Tax Consequences to Us. To the extent that a participant recognizes ordinary income in the circumstances described above, we will be entitled to a corresponding deduction provided that, among other things, the income meets the test of reasonableness, is an ordinary and necessary business expense, is not an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and is not disallowed by the $1,000,000 limitation on certain executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code discussed below. While deductibility of executive compensation for federal income tax purposes is among the factors the Board and Committee considers when structuring executive compensation arrangements, it is not the sole or primary factor considered. We retain the flexibility to authorize compensation that may not be deductible if we believe it is in our best interests.

Million Dollar Deduction Limit and Other Tax Matters. We may not deduct compensation of more than $1,000,000 that is paid to “covered employees” (as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code), which include (i) an individual (or, in certain circumstances, his or her beneficiaries) who, at any time during the taxable year, is either our principal executive officer or principal financial officer; (ii) an individual who is among our three highest compensated officers for the taxable year (other than an individual who was either our principal executive officer or principal financial officer at any time during the taxable year); or (iii) anyone who was a covered employee for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code for any tax year beginning on or after January 1, 2017. This limitation on deductions (x) only applies to compensation paid by a publicly-traded corporation (and not compensation paid by non-corporate entities) and (z) may not apply to certain types of compensation, such as qualified performance-based compensation that is payable pursuant to a written, binding contract that was in effect as of November 2, 2017, so long as the contract is not materially modified after that date. To the extent that compensation is payable pursuant to a prior plan award granted on or before November 2, 2017, and if we determine that Section 162(m) of the Code will apply to any such awards, we intend that the terms of those awards will not be materially modified and will be constructed so as to constitute qualified performance-based compensation and, as such, will be exempt from the $1,000,000 limitation on deductible compensation.

If an individual’s rights under the 2024 Plan are accelerated as a result of a change in control and the individual is a “disqualified individual” under Section 280G of the Code, then the value of any such accelerated rights received by such individual may be included in determining whether or not such individual has received an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code, which could result in (i) the imposition of a 20% federal excise tax (in addition to federal income tax) payable by the individual on the value of such accelerated rights, and (ii) the loss by us of a corresponding compensation deduction on such amounts.

The Pre-Funded Warrants were offered in the Private Placement in lieu of shares of Common Stock, and provide that the holder may not exercise any portion of a Pre-Funded Warrant to the extent that immediately prior to or after giving effect to such exercise the holder would own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of our outstanding Common Stock immediately following the consummation of the Private Placement. Each Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full.

A holder (together with its affiliates) of the Private Placement Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants, as the case may be, may not exercise any portion of the Private Placement Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable, to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% (or, at the holder’s option upon issuance, 9.99%) of our outstanding Common Stock immediately after exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Private Placement Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable. In lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon exercise of a Warrant, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of our Common Stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Private Placement Warrants, provided that such cashless exercise shall only be permitted if, at the time of such exercise, there is no effective registration statement registering the resale of shares of our Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants or if the prospectus contained in such registration statement is not available for the resale of shares of our Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants by the Private Placement Warrant holder.

In lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon exercise of a Pre-Funded Warrant in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of our Common Stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Pre-Funded Warrants.

As of July 12, 2025, all Private Placement Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants have been fully exercised, and there are no remaining rights or obligations under the Private Placement Warrants of the Pre-Funded Warrants.

March 2025 Units Offering Warrants and the Finder’s Warrants

In connection with the March 2025 Units Offering, as part of the units, we issued March 2025 Units Offering Warrants to the Subscribers to purchase Common Stock over thirty-six (36) months at an exercise price of $4.00 per share.

In connection with the March 2025 Units Offering, we entered into a finder’s fee agreement with Canaccord, pursuant to which the Company will pay Canaccord at the closing of the March 2025 Units Offering (i) a payment of up to 7.5% of the gross proceeds raised from subscriptions in the March 2025 Units Offering from persons introduced to the Company by Canaccord, payable in cash; and (ii) the issuance of the Finder’s Warrant of the Company to Canaccord of up to 7.5% of the March 2025 Units subscribed for by person introduced to the Company by Canaccord. Each Finder’s Warrant will be exercisable to purchase one additional Common Stock at $4.00 per share for a period of 36 months from the closing of the March 2025 Units Offering.

Spiro’s Warrant

On March 16, 2024, the Company entered into the Spiro Consulting Agreement with Alex Spiro, pursuant to which Mr. Spiro agreed to provide the Company with certain consulting services, including introductions to potential strategic and capital market partners. As partial consideration for his services, the Company issued to Mr. Spiro the Spiro’s Warrant. The Spiro’s Warrant is exercisable at an exercise price of CDN$0.01 per share and will expire on June 15, 2028. The Spiro’s Warrant vests upon the occurrence of certain performance-based milestones, including the achievement of a market capitalization of $200 million following a public listing or equity financing transaction, or upon a change of control of the Company, as defined in the Spiro Consulting Agreement.

June 2025 Units Offering Pre-Funded Warrant, $3.50 Warrants, and $4.00 Warrants

The June 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant entitles the holder to purchase shares of Common Stock at a nominal exercise price of $0.0001 per share, with the aggregate exercise price (other than the nominal amount) having been pre-funded at the time of issuance. These warrants are exercisable at any time from the initial exercise date until exercised in full, and may be exercised on a cashless basis if there is no effective registration statement covering the issuance of the underlying shares. The warrants are subject to standard anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, and similar corporate events. A beneficial ownership limitation restricts the holder from exercising the warrant to the extent that, after such exercise, the holder (together with its affiliates and certain related parties) would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock, unless the holder elects to increase this limit (up to 9.99%) with at least sixty-one (61) days’ prior written notice to Firefly. The warrants are transferable, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, and provide for adjustment in the event of certain fundamental transactions, such as mergers or sales of substantially all assets, ensuring the holder receives equivalent value in the successor entity.

The $3.50 Warrants and $4.00 Warrants grant the holder the right to purchase shares of Common Stock at a fixed exercise price of $3.50 per share or $4.00 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, and similar events. These warrants are exercisable at any time from the initial exercise date until the fifth anniversary of such date, and may be exercised in whole or in part. If a registration statement is not effective for the resale of the underlying shares, the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis, allowing the holder to receive a net number of shares based on the market price and the exercise price. The warrants include a beneficial ownership limitation, generally set at 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock post-exercise, which may be increased by the holder up to 9.99% with sixty-one (61) days’ prior notice to the Company. These warrants are transferable, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, and provide for adjustments in the event of fundamental transactions, such as mergers or asset sales, to ensure the holder receives equivalent value in the successor entity.

Options

At the effective time of the Merger, we assumed all of Private Firefly’s rights and obligations under the stock options granted pursuant to the Firefly 2007 Incentive Plan and the Firefly 2023 Incentive Plan that are outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, and such options shall become exercisable for shares of our Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased pursuant to such stock options and the exercise price for such stock options shall be adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Following the consummation of the Merger, we have 532,011 options outstanding.

Anti-takeover Provisions

Delaware Law

We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. Subject to certain exceptions, Section 203 prevents a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with any “interested stockholder” for three years following the date that the person became an interested stockholder, unless either the interested stockholder attained such status with the approval of the board of directors, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and stockholders in a prescribed manner or the interested stockholder acquired at least 85% of combined company’s outstanding voting stock in the transaction in which it became an interested stockholder. A “business combination” includes, among other things, a merger or consolidation involving combined company and the “interested stockholder” and the sale of more than 10% of combined company’s assets. In general, an “interested stockholder” is any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of combined company’s outstanding voting stock and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person. The restrictions contained in Section 203 are not applicable to any of combined company’s existing stockholders that owned 15% or more of combined company’s outstanding voting stock upon the closing of combined company’s initial public offering.

Potential Effects of Authorized but Unissued Stock

We have shares of Common Stock and preferred stock available for future issuance without stockholder approval. We may utilize these additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, to facilitate corporate acquisitions or payment as a dividend on the capital stock.

The existence of unissued and unreserved Common Stock and Preferred Stock may enable our Board to issue shares to persons friendly to current management or to issue Preferred Stock with terms that could render more difficult or discourage a third-party attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, thereby protecting the continuity of our management. In addition, our Board has the discretion to determine designations, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences of each series of Preferred Stock, all to the fullest extent permissible under the DGCL and subject to any limitations set forth in the Charter. The purpose of authorizing the Board to issue Preferred Stock and to determine the rights and preferences applicable to such Preferred Stock is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of Preferred Stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible financings, acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third-party to acquire, or could discourage a third-party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock.

Classified Board of Directors

Pursuant to the Charter, our Board is divided into three classes serving three-year terms, with one class being elected each year by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote on the election.

Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws

DGCL Law provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, as the case may be, requires a greater percentage. Pursuant to Bylaws, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, will be required to amend or repeal or to adopt any provisions inconsistent with any of the provisions of the Bylaws.

Limitations of Director Liability and Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees

Delaware Law

Section 145 of the DGCL permits indemnification of directors, officers, agents and controlling persons of a corporation under certain conditions and subject to certain limitations. Section 145 empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer or agent of the corporation or another enterprise if serving at our request. Depending on the character of the proceeding, a corporation may indemnify against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person indemnified 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, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification may be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine that despite the adjudication of liability such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper. Section 145 further provides that to the extent a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation

Pursuant to the Charter, we will indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the us to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted to us to provide prior to such amendment), any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in a proceeding (as defined in the Charter), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or executive officer (“executive officer” has the meaning defined in Rule 3b-7 promulgated under the Exchange Act), or while serving as our director or executive officer, is or was serving at our request as a director, executive officer, other officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or executive officer or in any other capacity while serving as a director or executive officer, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith; provided, however, that we will not be required to indemnify or advance expenses to any director or executive officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless (i) the proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors or (ii) the proceeding (or part thereof) is initiated to enforce rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses as provided in the Charter or is a compulsory counterclaim brought by such person.

Forum Selection

Our Charter provides that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if and only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any state court located within the State of Delaware or, if and only if all such state courts lack subject matter jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) and any appellate court therefrom shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the following claims or causes of action under Delaware statutory or common law: (A) any derivative claim or cause of action brought on behalf of the Company; (B) any claim or cause of action for breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or other employee or stockholder of the Company, to the Company or the Company’s stockholders; (C) any claim or cause of action against the Company or any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Company, arising out of or pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Charter or the Bylaws; (D) any claim or cause of action seeking to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Amended and Restated Bylaws (including any right, obligation, or remedy thereunder); (E) any claim or cause of action as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; and (F) any claim or cause of action against the Corporation or any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Corporation, governed by the internal-affairs doctrine or otherwise related to the Corporation’s internal affairs, in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the court having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. The foregoing shall not apply to claims or causes of action brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

While the Delaware courts have determined that such choice of forum provisions are facially valid, a stockholder may nevertheless seek to bring a claim in a venue other than those designated in the exclusive forum provisions. In such instance, we would expect to vigorously assert the validity and enforceability of the exclusive forum provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws. This may require significant additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions and there can be no assurance that the provisions will be enforced by a court in those other jurisdictions. These exclusive forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees. If a court were to find either exclusive forum provision in our certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur further significant additional costs associated with resolving the dispute in other jurisdictions, all of which could harm our business.
