RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves risks. Before you make a decision to buy our securities, in addition to the risks and uncertainties discussed under “Forward-Looking Statements,” you should carefully consider the specific risks set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in any applicable prospectus supplement, as well as in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K (other than, in each case, information furnished rather than filed), which are incorporated herein by reference.

OUR COMPANY

 

Overview

 

authID.ai provides secure, facial biometric, identity verification, and strong customer authentication. We maintain a global, cloud-based IDaaS platform for our enterprise customers to enable their users to easily verify and authenticate their identity through a mobile device or desktop (with camera) of their choosing (without requiring dedicated hardware, or authentication apps). We can help our customers establish a proven identity, creating a root of trust that ensures the highest level of assurance for our passwordless login and step-up verification products. Our system enables participants to consent to transactions using their biometric information with a digitally signed authentication response, embedding the underlying transaction data and each user’s identity attributes within every electronic transaction message processed through our platform.

 

Digital transformation across all market segments requires trusted identity. Our identity platform offers innovative solutions that are flexible, fast and easy to integrate and offer seamless user experiences. authID’s products help advance digital transformation efforts without the fear of identity fraud, while delivering frictionless user experiences. We believe that it is also essential that electronic transactions have an audit trail, proving that the identity of the individual was duly authenticated. Our platform provides biometric and multi-factor identity software, which are intended to establish, authenticate and verify identity across a wide range of use cases and electronic transactions.

 

authID’s products focus on the broad requirement for enabling frictionless commerce by allowing an entity to instantly “Recognise their Customer”. Organizations of all descriptions require cost-effective and secure means of growing their business while mitigating identity fraud. We aim to offer our enterprise customers products that can be integrated easily into each of their business and organizational operations, in order to facilitate their adoption and enhance the end user customer experience.

 

Our management believes that some of the advantages of our IDaaS Platform approach are the ability to leverage the platform to support a variety of vertical markets and the adaptability of the platform to the requirements of new markets and new products requiring cost-effective, secure, and configurable mobile solutions. Our target markets include banking, fintech and other disrupters of traditional commerce, small and medium sized businesses, and system integrators working with government and Fortune 1000 enterprises. At its core, the Company’s offering, combining its proprietary and acquired biometric and artificial intelligence technologies (or AI), is intended to facilitate frictionless commerce, whether in the physical or digital world. The Company intends to increase its investment in developing, patenting and acquiring the various elements necessary to enhance the platform, which are intended to allow us to achieve our goals. One of the principal intended areas of investment is to enhance and expand our use of artificial intelligence in proprietary software, that we believe will increase our value to enterprise customers and stockholders alike.

 

authID is dedicated to developing advanced methods of protecting consumer privacy and deploying ethical and socially responsible AI. authID is developing a culture that proactively encourages and rewards our employees for considering the ethical implications of our products. We believe that a proactive commitment to ethical AI presents a strong business opportunity for authID and will enable us to bring more accurate products to market more quickly and with less risk to better serve our global user base. Our methods to achieve ethical AI include engaging the users of our products with informed consent, prioritizing the security of our user’s personal information, considering and avoiding potential bias in our algorithms, and monitoring of algorithm performance in our applications.

 

The Company also owns an entity in South Africa, Cards Plus, which manufactures secure plastic identity credentials and loyalty card products.

 

The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 21, 2011, and changed our name to Ipsidy Inc. on February 1, 2017. In order to better align the branding of our Company with our future focus and goals on June 14, 2021 we changed our business name to “authID.ai”. To that end, we registered domain names under that name and applied for a United States trademark registration in that name.

March 2022 Financings

 

Senior Secured Convertible Notes

 

On March 21, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, sold to the Note Investors Convertible Notes with an aggregate initial principal amount of approximately $9.2 million and a conversion price of $3.70 per share.

 

The Convertible Notes were sold with an aggregate cash origination fee of approximately $200,000, and we issued a total of approximately 28,500 shares of our common stock to the Note Investors as the Stock Origination Fee.

 

On the maturity date, we will pay to each Note Investor an amount in cash representing all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Note Investor’s Convertible Note. The stated maturity date of the Convertible Notes will be March 31, 2025, but the maturity date will be subject to extension in certain limited circumstances. Except as specifically permitted by the Convertible Notes, we will not be permitted to prepay any portion of the outstanding principal or accrued and unpaid interest.

  

The Convertible Notes will accrue interest at the rate of 9.75% per annum, which will be payable in cash or, for some or all of the first five interest payments, in shares of our common stock at the Company’s option, on the last day of each calendar quarter before the maturity date and on the maturity date.

 

Each Convertible Note will be convertible, at the option of the applicable Note Investor, into shares of our common stock at an initial fixed conversion price of $3.70 per share. The conversion price will be subject to standard adjustments in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction.

   

No Note Investor will have the right to convert any portion of the Note Investor’s Convertible Note to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, the Note Investor (together with certain related parties) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.

 

In addition, unless we obtain the approval of our stockholders as required by Nasdaq, we will be prohibited from issuing any shares of our common stock upon conversion of the Convertible Notes or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes if the issuance of such shares of our common stock would exceed 19.99% of our outstanding shares of our common stock as of March 18, 2022 (the last business day before we executed the SPA) or otherwise exceed the aggregate number of shares of our common stock which we may issue without breaching our obligations under the rules and regulations of Nasdaq.

 

Facility Agreement

 

On March 21, 2022, the Company entered into a Facility Agreement with the Lender, who is both a current shareholder of the Company and a Note Investor, pursuant to which the Lender agreed to provide to the Company a $10.0 million unsecured standby line of credit facility that will rank behind the Convertible Notes and may be drawn down in several tranches, subject to certain conditions described in the Facility Agreement. Pursuant to the Facility Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the Lender a facility commitment fee of 100,000 shares of common stock upon the effective date of the Facility Agreement.

 

Subscription Agreements

 

On March 18 and March 21, 2022, the Company entered into the Subscription Agreements with an outside accredited investor and certain members of the Company’s management team (the “PIPE Investors”) and, pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, sold to the PIPE Investors a total of 1,063,514 shares of our common stock at prices of $3.03 per share for the outside investor and $3.70 per share for the management investors (the “PIPE”). The aggregate gross proceeds from the PIPE was approximately $3.3 million.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of our common stock (i) issued as payment of the Stock Origination Fee pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, (ii) issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes, (iii) issuable as payment of accrued interest, at the Company’s option, in the manner permitted by the Convertible Notes, (iv) issued as payment of the Facility Commitment Fee to the Lender under the Facility Agreement, and (v) issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

 

The shares of common stock being offered by the selling shareholders are those (i) issued as payment of the Stock Origination Fee pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, (ii) issuable upon the conversion of the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes, (iii) issuable upon the conversion of accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such principal amount or as payment of accrued interest, at the Company’s option, in the manner permitted by the Convertible Notes, (iv) issued as payment of the Facility Commitment Fee, and (v) issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements. For additional information regarding the issuance of these Convertible Notes and shares of common stock, see “Our Company—March 2022 Financings” above. We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling shareholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time.

 

The table below lists the selling shareholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder) of the shares of common stock held by each of the selling shareholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling shareholders, based on their shares issuable as payment of accrued interest at Company's option in the manner permitted by the Convertible Note, assuming the Company elects to make each of its first 5 interest payments in shares and respective ownership of shares of common stock and Convertible Notes, as of April 20, 2022, assuming conversion of the Convertible Notes held by each such selling shareholder on that date but taking account of the 9.99% limitation on conversion described below.

 

The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling shareholders and takes account of the limitations on conversion of the Convertible Notes described below but assumes that each selling shareholder disposes of all previously held shares before each future issuance.

 

In accordance with the terms of the registration rights agreement, this prospectus generally covers the resale of all of the securities as to which the selling shareholders have registration rights thereunder. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling shareholders pursuant to this prospectus.

 

Under the terms of the Convertible Notes, a selling shareholder may not convert the Convertible Notes to the extent (but only to the extent) such selling shareholder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 9.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company. The Convertible Notes also provide that if the issuance of shares of Common Stock to a selling shareholder who is an officer or director of the Company (or an entity affiliated with any such officer or director) pursuant to the Convertible Notes or any related document would be (i) subject to Rule 5635(c) of The Nasdaq Stock Market (or any successor to such rule) (“Rule 5635(c)”) and (ii) deemed to be at a price less than $2.99, then the number of shares to be issued to such selling shareholder upon any such conversion, redemption, payment of interest or other issuance will be recalculated to ensure that the value of any such shares is at least equal to $2.99 per share and will otherwise be in conformity with exclusion from Rule 5635(c) and the related interpretations of The Nasdaq Stock Market. Additionally, the terms of the Convertible Notes provide that unless and until the Company obtains (i) shareholder approval to issue 20% or more of common stock outstanding at the time the Note is originally issued in accordance with Rule 5635(d) of The Nasdaq Stock Market (or any successor to such rule) (“Rule 5635(d)”) or (ii) a written opinion (that is reasonably satisfactory to the applicable holder) from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required, if the Company is required to deliver shares of common stock to the holders of the Convertible Notes or pursuant to any related documents (upon conversion, redemption, as payment of interest or otherwise) and such number of shares, in the aggregate with all other shares of common stock previously delivered by us to (x) all Note Investors pursuant to the Convertible Notes and the other related documents and (y) the purchasers of any other securities that are required to be aggregated for purposes of Rule 5635(d) with the transactions contemplated by the Convertible Notes, would exceed 19.99% of common stock outstanding on the date that the Convertible Notes were first issued, we will pay to each holder the value of any the holder’s shares that are subject to the foregoing 19.99% limitation in cash (with the value of each such excess share equal to the arithmetic average of the volume-weighted average price (as calculated under the Convertible Notes) of common stock for each of the ten trading days immediately preceding the date any such payment is due). The numbers of shares in the second column reflect these limitations. The selling shareholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

We are registering the common stock (i) issued as payment of a stock origination fee in connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, (ii) issuable upon the conversion of the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes, (iii) issuable upon the conversion of accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such principal amount or as payment of accrued interest, at the registrant’s option, in the manner permitted by the Convertible Notes, (iv) issued as payment of the Facility Commitment Fee, and (v) issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, in each case to permit the resale of these shares of common stock by their holders from time to time or by the holders of the Convertible Notes from time to time, as applicable, after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling shareholders of the shares of common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.

 

The selling shareholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock held by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling shareholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions, pursuant to one or more of the following methods:

 

on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;

 

in the over-the-counter market;

 

in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;

 

through the writing or settlement of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;

 

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

privately negotiated transactions;

 

short sales made after the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC;

 

broker-dealers may agree with a selling security holder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling shareholders may also sell shares of common stock under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if available, rather than under this prospectus. In addition, the selling shareholders may transfer the shares of common stock by other means not described in this prospectus. If the selling shareholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling shareholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling shareholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

 

16

 

 

The selling shareholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Convertible Notes or shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending, if necessary, the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus. The selling shareholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

To the extent required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the selling shareholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling shareholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers.

 

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

 

There can be no assurance that any selling shareholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

 

The selling shareholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling shareholders and any other participating person. To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.

 

We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be $105,755 in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, a selling shareholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the selling shareholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act in accordance with the registration rights agreements or the selling shareholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling shareholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling shareholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreements or we may be entitled to contribution.

 

Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a Delaware corporation may 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 (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit provided the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the person is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where a present or former director or officer is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify the person against the expenses that such person has actually and reasonably incurred. Our certificate of incorporation provides for indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except for liability for any:

 

transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit;

 

  act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 

unlawful payment of dividends, unlawful stock purchase or redemption of shares; or

 

breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders.

 

II-1

 

 

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation includes such a provision.

 

The right to indemnification provided in our certificate of incorporation includes the right to be paid by us the expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in defending any action referred to above in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law so requires, such an advancement of expenses incurred by a person in the person’s capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by the person, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) will be made only upon delivery to us of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by us.

 

Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, among other things, that a director who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption may be held liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful action was approved, or dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such action to be entered in the books containing minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time such action occurred or immediately after such absent director receives notice of the unlawful act.

 

As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, we have entered into indemnity agreements with each of our directors and officers that require us to indemnify such persons against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), witness fees, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts incurred (including expenses of a derivative action) in connection with any action, suit or proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, inquiry hearing or investigation, whether threatened, pending or completed, to which any such person may be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, an officer or an employee of our company, provided that such person’s conduct did not constitute a breach of his or her duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, and was not an act or omission not in good faith or which involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of laws.

 

We have an insurance policy covering our officers and directors with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or otherwise.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

 

Item 16. Exhibits

 

The exhibits to the registration statement required by Item 601 of Regulation S-K are listed in the exhibit index on page II-6.

 

Item 17. Undertakings

 

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

II-2

 

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

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

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

 

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

 

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

 

(iii) For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430(A), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

II-3

 

 

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

 

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

 

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about such undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of such undersigned registrant; and

 

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

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

 

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

(2) For the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Re:Registration Statement on Form S-3 Filed by Ipsidy Inc.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to Ipsidy Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing of a registration statement on Form S-3, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on or about April 25, 2022 (as amended or supplemented through the date hereof, the “Registration Statement”) relating to the resale from time to time by the selling securityholders named in the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement and any supplement thereto or their permitted transferees of up to 4,522,059 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, (i) issued as payment of an origination fee pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 21, 2022 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), (ii) issuable upon the conversion of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Secured Convertible Notes issued to certain accredited investors, including certain directors of the Company or their affiliates (the “Convertible Notes”), (iii) issuable upon the conversion of accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such principal amount of the Convertible Notes or as payment of accrued interest, at the Company’s option, in the manner permitted by the Convertible Notes, (iv) issued as payment of a facility commitment fee to Stephen J. Garchik pursuant to the Facility Agreement dated March 21, 2022 (the “Facility Agreement”), (v) issued as part of the sale pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, dated March 18, 2022, by and between the Company and an accredited investor (the “Outside Investor Subscription Agreement”) and (vi) issued as part of the sale pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, dated March 21, 2022, by and between the Company and certain members of the Company’s management team (the “Management Subscription Agreements”, and together with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Convertible Notes, the Facility Agreement and the Outside Investor Subscription Agreement, the “Transaction Documents”). This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied on originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Registration Statement, including the prospectus contained therein and the exhibits thereto, the Transaction Documents, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, both as currently in effect, and such other documents, corporate records and other instruments, have made such inquiries as to questions of fact of officers and representatives of the Company and have made such examinations of law as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of giving the opinions expressed below.
