| PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS | SUBJECT TO COMPLETION | DATED APRIL 16, 2026 |
The OLB Group, Inc.
6,428,570 Shares of Common Stock
This prospectus relates to the resale of up to shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of The OLB Group, Inc. ("we," "us," "our," or the "Company"), consisting of (a) up to 2,857,142 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of pre-funded warrants (the "Pre-Funded Warrants") at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share originally issued by us on February 18, 2026 in a private placement pursuant to a share purchase agreement dated on such date (the "Offering"), and (b) up to 3,571,428 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the common warrants (the "Common Warrants", collectively, with the Pre-Funded Warrants the "Warrants") at an exercise price of $0.92 per share originally issued by us in connection with the Offering.
This registration does not mean that the selling stockholders named herein will actually offer or sell any of these shares. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of any of the shares of common stock being registered hereby sold by the selling stockholders. However, we may receive proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants held by the selling stockholders exercised other than pursuant to any applicable cashless exercise provisions of such warrants.
Our common stock is currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbol "OLB". On April 15, 2026 the last reported sale price of our common stock was $0.49 per share.
Following effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the sale and distribution of securities offered hereby may be effected from time to time in one or more transaction that may take place on Nasdaq (or such other market or quotation system on which our common stock is then listed or quoted), including ordinary brokers' transactions, privately negotiated transactions or through sales to one or more dealers for resale of such securities as principals, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Usual and customary or specifically negotiated brokerage fees or commissions may be paid by selling stockholders. The selling stockholders and intermediaries through whom such securities are sold may be deemed "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), with respect to the securities offered hereby, and any profits realized or commissions received may be deemed underwriting compensation.
This prospectus describes the general manner in which shares of common stock may be offered and sold by any selling stockholders. When the selling stockholders sell shares of common stock under this prospectus, we may, if necessary and required by law, provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. Any prospectus supplement may also add to, update, modify or replace information contained in this prospectus. We urge you to carefully read this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and any documents we incorporate by reference into this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement before you make your investment decision.
We are an "emerging growth company" as that term is defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and, as such, have elected to take advantage of certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus and future filings.
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See "Risk Factors" on page 11.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Our Company
We are a FinTech company that focuses on a suite of products in the merchant services marketplace and seeks to provide integrated business solutions to merchants throughout the United States. We seek to provide merchants with a wide range of products and services through our various online platforms, including financial and transaction processing services. We also have products that provide support for crowdfunding and other capital raising initiatives. We supplement our online platforms with certain hardware solutions that are integrated with our online platforms. Our business functions primarily through three wholly-owned subsidiaries, eVance, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("eVance"), OmniSoft.io, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("OmniSoft"), and CrowdPay.Us, Inc., a New York corporation ("CrowdPay").
OmniSoft operates a cloud-based business management platform that provides turnkey solutions for merchants to enable them to build and manage their retail businesses, whether online or at a "brick and mortar" location. The OmniSoft platform, which can be accessed by merchants through any mobile and computing device, allows merchants to, among other features, manage and track inventory, track sales and process customer transactions and can provide interactive data analysis concerning sales of products and need for additional inventory. Merchants generally utilize the platform by uploading to the platform information about their inventory (description of units, number of units, price per unit, and related information). Once such information has been uploaded, merchants, either with their own device or with hardware that we sell directly to them, are able to utilize the platform to monitor inventory and process and track sales of their products (including coordinating shipping of their products with third party logistics companies). We manage and maintain the OmniSoft platform through a variety of domain names or a merchant can integrate our platform with their own domain name. Using the OmniSoft platform, merchants can "check-out" their customers at their "brick and mortar" stores or can sell products to customers online, in both cases accepting payment via a simple credit card or debit card transaction (either swiping the credit card or entering the credit card number), a cash payment, or by use of a QR code or loyalty and reward points, and then print or email receipts to the customer. For more information regarding our OmniSoft platform, see "Description of our OmniSoft Business."

eVance provides competitive payment processing solutions to merchants which enable merchants to process credit and debit card-based internet payments for sales of their products at competitive prices (whether such sales occur online or at a "brick and mortar" location). eVance is an independent sales organization (an "ISO") that signs up new merchants on behalf of acquiring banks and processors that provides financial and transaction processing solutions to merchants throughout the United States. eVance differentiates itself from other ISOs by focusing on both obtaining and maintaining new merchant contracts for its own account (including, but not limited to, merchants that utilize the OmniSoft platform) and also obtaining and maintaining merchant contracts obtained by third-party ISOs (for which we negotiate a shared fee arrangement) and utilizing our own software and technology to provide merchants and other ISOs differentiating products and software. In particular, we (i) own our own payments gateway, (ii) have proprietary omni-commerce software platform, (iii) have in-house underwriting and customer service, (iv) have in-house sub-ISO management system which offers sub-ISOs and agents tools for online boarding, account management, residual reports among other tools, and (v) offer a suite of products in the financial markets (through CrowdPay). Leveraging our relationship with three of the top five merchant processors in the United States (representing a majority of the merchant processing market) and with the use of our proprietary software, our payment gateway (which we call "SecurePay") enables merchants to reduce the cost of transacting with their customers by removing the need for a third-party payment gateway solution. eVance operates as both a wholesale ISO and a retail ISO depending on the risk profile of the merchant and the applicable merchant processor and acquiring bank. As a wholesale ISO, eVance underwrites the processing transactions for merchants, establishing a direct relationship with the merchant and generating individual merchant processing contracts in exchange for future residual payments. As a retail ISO, eVance primarily gathers the documents and information that our partners (acquiring banks and acquiring processors) need to underwrite merchants' transactions and as a result receives only residual income as commission for merchants it places with our partners. For more information regarding the electronic payment industry, see "Business - Description of our eVance Business - Our Industry."

SecurePay
SecurePay is a payment gateway and virtual terminal with proprietary business management tools that is in compliance with the Payment Card Industry (PCI).
SecurePay has been certified by Visa and MasterCard (certified Level II and Level III) and finalized implementation of "3D Secure" in 2019 (a feature that is unique to what we offer in order to provide for more secure environment for E-commerce and mobile payments in-store and online).
On June 15, 2023, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with SDI Black 001, LLC ("Seller") whereby the Company acquired from Seller 80.01% of the membership interests of Moola Cloud, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (f/k/a Cuentas SDI, LLC) (the "LLC"). On May 20, 2024, the Company entered into a second Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with the minority member of the LLC (the "Agreement") whereby it acquired the remaining 19.99% of the membership interests of the LLC for a purchase price of $215,500. As a result, effective May 20, 2024, the Company owns 100% of the LLC. On August 14, 2024, the LLC changed its name to Moola Cloud, LLC. The Agreement contains a restrictive covenant whereby for a period of three (3) years from the closing, none of Seller, including any of its principals, executives, officers, directors, managers, employees, salespersons, or entities in which such principal has any interest, will directly or indirectly (i) induce, attempt to induce, interfere with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt any past, present or prospective business relationship, solicit, market to, endeavor to obtain as a customer, or contract with any merchant in order to provide services to such Merchant in competition with the Company; or (ii) solicit or interfere with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt any past, present or prospective business relationship, contractual or otherwise any person or entity that is a party to any contract assigned to the Company to terminate its contractual or business relationship with the Company. The LLC will enable the Company to focus on marketing to the underbanked communities utilizing the LLC's debit and calling card platform's ability for users to reload cash to their account and provide instant access to digital products to their customers' Mobile App and digital wallet into its electronic portal. The Company plans to market to the LLC's merchant network, which currently has approximately 31,600 locations in the United States, the ability of having one POS system that will allow the retail customer to purchase products using OLB's payment processing solutions along with the ability to reload payment cards and their mobile phone minutes.

CrowdPay
CrowdPay.us™ operates a white label capital raising platform that targets small and midsized businesses seeking to raise capital and registered broker-dealers seeking to host capital raising campaigns for such businesses by integrating the platform onto such company's or broker-dealer's website. Our CrowdPay platform is tailored for companies seeking to raise money through a crowdfunding offering of between $1 million and $50 million pursuant to Regulation CF under Title III of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (the "JOBS Act"), offerings pursuant to Rule 506(b) and Rule 506(c) under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and offerings pursuant to Regulation A+ of the Securities Act. Our platform, which can be used for multiple offerings at once, provides companies and broker-dealers with an easy-to-use, turnkey solution to support company offerings, allowing companies and broker-dealers to easily present online to potential investors relevant marketing and offering materials and by aiding in the accreditation and background check processes to ensure investors meets the applicable requirements under the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). CrowdPay charges a fee to each company and broker-dealer for the use of its platform under a fee structure that is agreed to between CrowdPay and the Company and/or broker-dealer prior to the initiation of the offering. CrowdPay also generates revenues by providing ancillary services to the companies and broker-dealers utilizing our platform, including running background checks and providing anti-money laundering and know-your-customer compliance. CrowdPay is not a registered funding portal or a registered broker-dealer.
Crowd Ignition is a web-based crowdfunding software system. The software provides broker-dealer, merchant banks and law firms a platform to market crowdfunding offerings, collect payments and issue securities. The software has been developed in response to, and to comply with, recent changes in investment regulations including Regulation D 506(b) and 506(v), Regulation A+ and Title III of the Jobs Act (Regulation CF), including raising the crowdfunding limit from $1.07 million to $5.0 million. Crowd Ignition is one of only about 50 companies registered with the SEC to provide the services permitted under Regulation CF.
OLBit and DMINT
On May 14, 2021, the Company formed OLBit, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary ("OLBit"). The purpose of OLBit is to hold the Company's assets and operate its business related to its emerging money transmission and transactional business. OLBit was previously in the process of applying for money transmission licenses in all 50 states. In June 2023, it was decided to delay the process of applying for such licenses in order to have a greater focus of financial and management resources on the Company's payment processing business and Bitcoin mining business.
5
On July 23, 2021, we formed our wholly owned subsidiary, DMINT, Inc. ("DMINT"), to operate in the Bitcoin mining industry. DMINT initiated the first phase of its Bitcoin mining operation by establishing data centers and ASIC-based Antminer S19J Pro mining computers specifically configured to mine Bitcoin in Bradford, Pennsylvania. As of December 31, 2025, DMINT has 1,000 computers and had 400 computers online and mining for Bitcoin. DMINT has a data center located in Selmer, Tennessee. In February 2023, DMINT redeployed its mining computers from its Pennsylvania location and focus the mining efforts at the Selmer, Tennessee location because of the lower cost of operations in the location.
On August 16, 2022, DMINT Real Estate Holdings, Inc. ("DREH"), a wholly owned subsidiary of DMINT, purchased 4.73 acres of land and a building located at 565 Industrial Park Drive, Selmer, McNairy County, Tennessee for a purchase price of $408,000. DMINT established a Bitcoin mining data center powered on the local power grid. The location is expected to have capacity for up to 5,000 mining machines. The Company plans to complete the buildout of the building to be fully operational with 5,000 machines in 2026 following a spin-off of DMINT into a standalone entity which is currently in process.
As stated above, we are currently in the process of spinning off DMINT into a stand-alone entity. Our planned DMINT spin-off distribution (the "Spin-Off Distribution") will occur upon DMINT's Form S-1 Registration Statement filing being declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the approval by the Nasdaq Capital Market ("NASDAQ") of the listing of DMINT's common shares on the NASDAQ. Following the consummation of the Spin-Off Distribution, of which there is no guarantee, (i) DMINT will no longer be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and will be a stand-alone entity, (ii) all of DMINT's outstanding shares of common stock will be owned by the existing stockholders of the Company, and (iii) DMINT Real Estate Holdings, Inc. ("DREH") will remain a wholly owned subsidiary of DMINT.
Synergies between the subsidiaries
The success of our business model is dependent on the synergies between the business segments operated by our subsidiaries. We have created and developed products that we believe form an ecosystem of e-commerce to provide a variety of clients, from online equity financing companies or merchants selling online or in brick and mortar stores, with multiple product offerings and ancillary services from underwriting with the banks and merchant billing from the cloud software. We expect that these synergies will create additional revenue by charging transaction fees on each service provided to clients by our partnerships with Merchant Acquiring Banks and PCI Compliance.
We believe that our wholly-owned subsidiaries combine to create an ecosystem where each subsidiary benefits the other. Starting with the services provided by eVance, we enable each of our products and platforms to communicate with each other and create an ecosystem among our products and, potentially, third-party products. These services are provided to our other subsidiaries.
The product environment created with a new registered merchant or issuer enables all merchant information to be stored in a single, centralized location but utilized by all subsidiaries. For example, merchant services utilizing eVance provide electronic payment processing services that can be utilized for payments on the Crowdfunding platform. The platform is used by merchant services to allow mobile and online processing to merchants.
The Omni commerce platform is offered to all of the merchant services clients. The offered Merchant Services products we provide enable all processing needs for the OmniCommerce system. The gateway will allow merchants that are using the platform to accept online eCommerce transactions.

Competitive Advantages
We believe that our platform of services provides the following key advantages.
| ● | Cost - we believe that we are the only content service provider that does not charge a setup fee. |
| ● | Flexibility - we believe our platform has the flexibility to provide customized solutions for partners. |
| ● | Pricing - we provide partners with a price comparison feature which they can utilize if they wish to set prices for products or run promotions. |

Corporate Information
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 18, 2004, for the purpose of merging with OLB.com, Inc., a New York corporation incorporated in 1993 ("OLB.com"). The merger was done for the purpose of changing our state of incorporation from New York to Delaware. In April 2018, we completed an acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Excel Corporation and its subsidiaries Payprotec Oregon, LLC, Excel Business Solutions, Inc. and eVance Processing, Inc. (collectively, the "eVance Asset Acquisition") (such assets are the foundation of our eVance business). In connection with the eVance Asset Acquisition, in May 2018, we entered into share exchange agreements with CrowdPay and OmniSoft, affiliate companies owned by our CEO, Ronny Yakov, and John Herzog, a stockholder of the Company, pursuant to which each of CrowdPay and OmniSoft became wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. Our Company's headquarters is located at 1120 Avenue of the Americas, 4th Floor, New York, NY 10036. Our telephone number is (212) 278-0900.
Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company
We qualify as a "smaller reporting company," as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and certain exemptions are available to us as a smaller reporting company, including: (1) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (2) scaled executive compensation disclosures; and (3) the ability to provide only two years of audited financial statements, instead of three years.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this prospectus may contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about us and our industry, as well as statements regarding our or our management team's expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. Additionally, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. We intend the forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the federal securities laws. Words such as "may," "should," "could," "would," "predicts," "potential," "continue," "expects," "anticipates," "future," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates," and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and may not be accurate indications of when such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information we have when those statements are made or management's good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:
| ● | We operate in a regulatory environment that is evolving and uncertain and any changes to regulations could have a material impact on our business and financial condition; |
| ● | We rely on a combination of confidentiality clauses, assignment agreements and license agreements with employees and third parties, trade secrets, copyrights and trademarks to protect our intellectual property and competitive advantage, all of which offer only limited protection meaning that we may be unable to maintain and protect our intellectual property rights and proprietary information or prevent third-parties from making unauthorized use of our technology; |
| ● | Our growth may not be sustainable and depends on our ability to attract new merchants, retain existing merchants and increase sales to both new and existing merchants; |
| ● | While we believe that we have sufficient capital to continue operations for a period of at least twelve months from the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, if there are unanticipated expenses, insufficient cash from operations, we may require additional capital to continue our operations that may not be available or, if available, may not be available on reasonable terms; |
| ● | We are substantially dependent on our eVance business for revenue. If we are unable to maintain our eVance business for any reason (including the various reasons described in the risk factors herein) or for no reason, it will have a material adverse effect on our company; |
| ● | Our ability to anticipate and respond to changing industry trends and the needs and preferences of our merchants and consumers may adversely affect our competitiveness or the demand for our products and services; |
9
| ● | The properties included in our mining network may experience damages; | |
| ● | Regulatory changes or actions may alter the nature of an investment in us or restrict the use of cryptocurrencies in a manner that adversely affects our business, prospects or operations; | |
| ● | Banks and financial institutions may not provide banking services, or may cut off services, to businesses that provide cryptocurrency-related services or that accept cryptocurrencies as payment, including financial institutions of investors in our securities; | |
| ● | It may be illegal in the future, to acquire, own, hold, sell or use Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, participate in the blockchain or utilize similar digital assets in one or more countries, the ruling of which would adversely affect us. |
| ● | Acquisitions create certain risks and may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cashflows; and |
| ● | If we fail to improve and enhance the functionality, performance, reliability, design, security and scalability of our platform in a manner that responds to our merchants' evolving needs, our business may be adversely affected. |
The foregoing does not represent an exhaustive list of matters that may be covered by the forward-looking statements contained herein or risk factors that we are faced with. Forward-looking statements necessarily involve risks and uncertainties, and our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those set forth under the section of this prospectus entitled "Risk Factors" elsewhere in this prospectus. The factors set forth under the "Risk Factors" section and other cautionary statements made in this prospectus should be read and understood as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this prospectus. The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus represent our judgment as of the date of this prospectus. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on such statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future.

Risk Factors
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described in the section captioned "Risk Factors" contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on April 1, 2026, and our other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety, together with other information in this prospectus and the information incorporated by reference herein. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could suffer materially. In such an event, the trading price of our shares of Common Stock could decline, and you might lose all or part of your investment.
11
Use of Proceeds
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the selling stockholders. We may receive proceeds upon the exercise of the Warrants (to the extent the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is then effective and, if applicable, the "cashless exercise" provision is not utilized by the holder). Any proceeds will be used for general corporate and working capital or for other purposes that the Board of Directors, in their good faith, deems to be in the best interest of the Company. No assurances can be given that any of such Warrants will be exercised.
12
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The selling stockholders will offer common stock at the prevailing market prices or privately negotiated price.
The offering price of our common stock by the selling stockholders does not necessarily bear any relationship to our book value, assets, past operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value. The facts considered in determining the offering price were our financial condition and prospects, our limited operating history and the general condition of the securities market.
In addition, there is no assurance that our common stock will trade at market prices in excess of the offering price as prices for common stock in any public market will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity.

Holders of Record

Because many of our shares of common stock are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, this number is not indicative of the total number of stockholders represented by these stockholders of record.

In addition, as of the date of this prospectus, we had outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 70,000 shares of our common stock, at a weighted average exercise price equal to $0.01 per share. Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock are available for issuance without further action by our stockholders, unless such action is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which our securities may be listed or traded in the future. The following description summarizes the material terms of our capital stock. Because it is only a summary, it may not contain all the information that is important to you.
Common Stock
As of March 31, 2026, 12,505,749 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and are not entitled to cumulative voting rights.
Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor, subject to any preferential distribution rights of third parties. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably our net assets available after the payment of all debts and other liabilities.
Holders of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. All of the outstanding shares of our common stock are fully-paid and nonassessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any indebtedness of our company.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Law and Provisions of Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws
Delaware Anti-Takeover Law
We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Section 203 generally prohibits a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless:
| ● | prior to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; | |
| ● | upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding specified shares; or | |
| ● | at or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
15
Section 203 defines a "business combination" to include:
| ● | any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder; | |
| ● | any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation to or with the interested stockholder; | |
| ● | subject to exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder; | |
| ● | subject to exceptions, any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or | |
| ● | the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation. |
In general, Section 203 defines an "interested stockholder" as any person that is:
| ● | the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation; | |
| ● | an affiliate or associate of the corporation who was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within three years immediately prior to the relevant date; or | |
| ● | the affiliates and associates of the above. |
Under specific circumstances, Section 203 makes it more difficult for an "interested stockholder" to effect various business combinations with a corporation for a three-year period, although the stockholders may, by adopting an amendment to the corporation's certificate of incorporation or bylaws, elect not to be governed by this section, effective 12 months after adoption.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not exclude us from the restrictions of Section 203. We anticipate that the provisions of Section 203 might encourage companies interested in acquiring us to negotiate in advance with our board of directors since the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if a majority of the directors then in office approve either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder.
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Provisions of our bylaws and our certificate of incorporation may delay or discourage transactions involving an actual or potential change of control or change in our management, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares, or transactions that our stockholders might otherwise deem to be in their best interests. Therefore, these provisions could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Among other things, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws:
| ● |
permit our board of directors to issue up to 10,000 shares of preferred stock, with any rights, preferences and privileges as they may designate; |
16
| ● | provide that vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors elected by all of the stockholders having the right to vote as a single class may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director; | |
| ● | provide that stockholders seeking to present proposals before a meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at a meeting of stockholders must provide advance notice in writing, and also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder's notice; and | |
| ● | do not provide for cumulative voting rights, thereby allowing the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors to elect all of the directors standing for election. |
Elimination of Monetary Liability for Officers and Directors
Our Certificate of Incorporation incorporates certain provisions permitted under the DGCL relating to the liability of directors. Our Certificate of Incorporation also contains provisions to indemnify the directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. We believe that these provisions will assist us in attracting and retaining qualified individual to serve as directors.
Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The name, address and telephone number of our stock transfer agent is Transfer Online, Inc., 317 SW Alder Street, 2nd Floor Portland, OR 97204, (503) 227-2950.
Listing
Our common stock is currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbol "OLB".

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The shares of common stock being registered for resale hereby consist of shares that have been issued or are issuable upon exercise of the Warrants that were issued to the selling stockholders. We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except as set forth in this prospectus and except for certain ownership of our securities, the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.
The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the ownership of the shares of common stock (including shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of outstanding securities registered hereunder) by the selling stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock (including shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of outstanding securities registered hereunder) owned by the selling stockholders prior to this offering. The third column lists the shares of common stock (including shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of outstanding securities registered hereunder) being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders. The fourth and fifth columns list the number and percentage, respectively, of shares of common stock owned by the selling stockholders after the closing of the offering, based on their ownership as of the date of this prospectus, based on 12,505,749 shares of common stock outstanding, and assuming the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.

The Pre-Funded Warrants and the Common Warrants are subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations that prohibit the Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. from exercising any portion thereof if, following the exercise, Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd.'s beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares would exceed the relevant warrant's beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% or 9.99%. |

Armistice and Steven Boyd disclaim beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of their respective pecuniary interest therein. The Warrants are subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% or 9.99%, which such limitation restricts the Selling Shareholder from exercising that portion of the warrants that would result in the Selling Shareholder and its affiliates owning, after exercise, a number of our ordinary shares in excess of the beneficial ownership limitation. The address of Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. is c/o Armistice Capital, LLC, 510 Madison Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10022. |

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the shares of common stock to permit the resale of these shares of common stock (including shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of outstanding securities) by the holders thereof (and such holders' successors and assigns) from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders 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 stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock owned 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 stockholders 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, 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 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; |
| ● | sales pursuant to Rule 144; |
| ● | broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders 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. |
If the selling stockholders 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 stockholders 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 stockholders 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 stockholders 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 stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.
19
The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the 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 stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders 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 owners for purposes of this prospectus.
The selling stockholders 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 stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed 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 stockholder 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 stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, 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 stockholders and any other participating person. 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.
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 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation La w also provides that expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending an action may be paid by a corporation in advance of the final disposition of an action if the director or officer undertakes to repay the advanced amounts if it is determined such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Our amended and restated bylaws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we shall indemnify and hold harmless any person who was or is ma de or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that such person, or the person for whom he is the legally re presentative, is or was a director or officer of ours, against all liabilities, losses, expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding.
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 duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of la w, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
II-1
Our certificate of incorporation provides that we shall, to the maximum extent permitted from time to time under the law of the State of Delaware, indemnify and upon request shall advance expenses to any person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or claim, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was or has agreed to be a director or officer of ours or while a director or off icer is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with the investigation, preparation to defend or defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require us to indemnify or advance expenses to any person in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or claim initiated by or on behalf of such person or any counterclaim against us initiated by or on behalf of such person. Such indemnification shall not be exclusive of other indemnification rights arising under any by-law, agreement, vote of directors or stockholders or otherwise and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and legal representatives of such person. Any person seeking indemnification shall be deemed to have met the standard of conduct required for such indemnification unless the contrary shall be established. Any repeal or modification of our certificate of incorporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director or officer of ours with respect to any acts or omissions of such director or officer occurring prior to such repeal or modification.
Our bylaws provide we shall, to the fullest extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware, as amended and supplemented from time to time, indemnify each 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 such party is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of ours, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at our request, as a director, officer or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including any employee benefit plan, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expense s (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such party or on such party's behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom.
Expenses incurred by such a person in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of ours, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at our request, as a director, officer or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including any employee benefit plan, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity shall be paid by us in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by us as authorized by relevant section s of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we shall not be required to advance such expenses to a person who is a party to an action, suit or proceeding brought by us and approved by a majority of our Board of Directors that alleges willful misappropriation of corporate assets by such person, disclosure of confidential information in violation of such person's fiduciary or contractual obligations to us or any other willful and deliberate breach in bad faith of such person's duty to us or our stockholders.
We shall not indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless the initiation thereof was approved by our Board of Directors.
The indemnification rights provided in our amended and restated bylaws shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any by-law, agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in their official capacities and as to action in another capacity while holding such off ice, continue as to such person who has ceased to be a director or officer, and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to expand further the indemnification permitted to indemnitees, then we shall indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended.
II-2
We may, to the extent authorized from time to time by our Board of Directors, grant indemnification rights to other employees or agents of ours or other persons serving us and such rights may be equivalent to, or greater or less than, those set forth in our amended and restated bylaws.
Our obligation to provide indemnification under our amended and restated bylaws shall be offset to the extent of any other source of indemnification or any otherwise applicable insurance coverage under a policy maintained by us or any other person.
To assure indemnification under our amended and restated bylaws of all directors, officers, employees or agents who are determined by us or otherwise to be or to have been "fiduciaries" of any employee benefit plan of ours that may exist from time to time, Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law shall, for the purposes of our amended and restated bylaws, be interpreted as follows: an "other enterprise" shall be deemed to include such an employee benefit plan, including without limitation, any plan of ours that is governed by the Act of Congress entitled "Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974," as amended from time to time; we shall be deemed to have requested a person to serve an employee benefit plan where the performance by such person of his duties to us also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, such person to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; and excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to such Act of Congress shall be deemed "fines."
Our bylaws shall be deemed to be a contract between us and each 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 person is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of ours, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at our request, as a director, officer or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including any employee benefit plan, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, at any time while this by-law is in effect, and any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts then or theretofore existing or any action, suit or proceeding theretofore or thereafter brough t based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts.
The indemnification provision of our amended and restated bylaws does not affect directors' responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.
We may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of ours, or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify him against liability under the provisions of this section. We currently maintain such insurance.
The right of any person to be indemnified is subject to our right, in lieu of such indemnity, to settle any such claim, action, suit or proceeding at our expense of by the payment of the amount of such settlement and the costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised 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.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered herewith, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to the court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
