SOBR SAFE, INC.

This prospectus relates to the resale from time to time by the selling securityholders named herein of up to 3,967,746 shares of common stock, $0.00001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), which consists of (i) 370,000 shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated December 24, 2025, by and between us and the selling securityholders (the "Purchase Agreement"), and (ii) up to 3,597,746 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the "Warrants").

We will not receive any cash proceeds from any sale of the shares of our Common Stock by the selling securityholders. We will, however, receive the net proceeds of any Warrants exercised for cash.

We are registering the resale of shares of our Common Stock pursuant to the selling securityholders' registration rights under certain agreements between us and the selling securityholders (the "Registration Rights Agreement") and to permit the selling securityholders to sell such shares without restriction in the open market. However, the registration of the potential resale shares of our Common Stock hereunder does not necessarily mean that the selling securityholders will sell the shares. The selling securityholders or their permitted transferees or other successors-in-interest may, but are not required to, sell the shares of our Common Stock offered by this prospectus from time to time in a number of different ways and at varying prices as determined by the prevailing market price for shares or in negotiated transactions. See "Plan of Distribution" on page 19 for a description of how the selling securityholders may dispose of the shares covered by this prospectus.

We will pay all expenses incident to the registration of the potential resale of the 3,967,746 shares of our Common Stock offered herein (other than for any discounts or commissions to any underwriter or broker attributable to the sale of shares of our Common Stock or any fees or expenses incurred by a holder of shares of our Common Stock that, according to the written instructions of any regulatory authority, we are not permitted to pay).

Our Common Stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "SOBR". On January 9, 2026, the last quoted sale price for our Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq was $1.77 per share.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus and the information incorporated herein by reference contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

You should read the following summary together with the more detailed information and the financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Prospectus.

Corporate Overview

We provide non-invasive technology to quickly and discretely monitor, detect and identify the presence of alcohol in individuals. Our mission is to save lives, positively impact behavioral outcomes and individual wellness, increase workplace safety and productivity, and create significant economic benefits. Our non-invasive technologies are integrated within our scalable and patent-pending software platform, SOBRsafeTM, producing statistical, measurable business and user data. We operate as a single segment designed to enable customers to purchase products directly through channel partners, sales agents or through our digital enterprise and consumer channels. To that end, our SOBRsafe software platform, along with our integrated hardware devices, SOBRcheck™ and SOBRsure™, used to provide non-invasive alcohol monitoring, detection and identity verification, combine to create a robust solution that has current and potential applications in:

Behavioral health and wellness

Judicial administrative applications

Licensing and integration

Commercial environments, including but not limited to oil and gas, fleet management, telematics, ride share programs, and general workplace safety

Individual consumer use, including co-parenting trust, personal accountability, and adolescent driver safety

Our SOBRcheck™ device is a patent-pending, touch-based identity verification and alcohol detection solution. Users place two fingers on the device sensors, one compares biometric data points from the finger to confirm identity, while the other senses alcohol contained in perspiration emitted through the pores of the fingertip. The touch-based device connects to the SOBRsafe™ software solution to collect, present and communicate data collected to subscribed parties.

Our SOBRsure™ device is a patent-pending, fitness-style wearable band with an alcohol monitoring and detection solution intended for discrete, low-profile and voluntary use providing qualified, real-time alcohol monitoring and GPS tracking. The wearable band is a device which includes a contained sensor which senses alcohol contained in perspiration released through the pores of the skin. The wearable band connects to a mobile device via Bluetooth communication where the SOBRsafe™ mobile application collects and transmits data to the SOBRsafe™ software solution. The SOBRsure™ device provides passive, qualified, real-time alcohol insights to administrators, clinicians, parents and more, and also includes device removal and service interruption notifications.

Our SOBRsafe™ technology can also be deployed across numerous additional devices for various uses. We are currently exploring possible integrations with existing systems and licensing by non-competitive third parties.

We believe our device portfolio approach could yield a substantial repository of user data - a potentially monetizable asset for statistical analytics. The opportunity to collect data points over time could enable the development of business and insurance liability benchmarking, through artificial intelligence ("AI"), powerful guidance for perpetual safety improvement and associated economic cost savings capture. By demonstrating substance-free environments, organizations could deliver a data-driven argument for a reduction in annual insurance premiums. We could potentially partner with insurance providers to encourage use of the SOBRsafe™ devices and/or technology.

During fiscal 2024 and as in prior years, design, manufacturing, quality testing and distribution for all SOBRsafe integrated devices take place in the United States.

Business Outlook and Challenges

Our products continue to gain awareness and recognition through trade shows, media exposure, social media and product demonstrations. To generate sales, we have a three-part strategy: 1) direct sales to enterprise businesses and consumers, 2) enter into agreements with channel partners and 3) enter into licensing and integration agreements. We currently employ three highly experienced sales professionals facilitating direct sales and channel partner relationships. Licensing and integration opportunities with non-competitive third parties continue in preliminary stages.

We anticipate that our outsourced manufacturers can adequately support an increase in sales for the foreseeable future. We expect that we will need to continue to evolve our products and software to meet diverse customer requirements across varied markets.

Since inception we have generated significant losses from operations and anticipate that we will continue to generate significant losses for the foreseeable future. Our success is dependent on our ability to access additional capital. Additional capital will be required under the following circumstances: 1) to offset negative cash flows from operations, 2) to accelerate customer acquisition, thereby increasing capital outlay, 3) for advanced purchasing of materials, 4) for the acquisition of new technology, 5) for potential acquisition of a key asset, and 6) for sales expansion.

Design, manufacturing, quality testing and distribution for all SOBRsafe™ integrated devices takes place in the United States.

Marketing

We have developed a marketing plan that includes:

consumer and enterprise e-commerce web-solutions

search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM)

digital and social media campaigns

online paid advertising placements

brand ambassadors, affiliate partners and social media influencers,

public relations initiatives and trade shows

direct business to business target campaigns,

alcohol detection/testing channel partners,

territorial sales agents,

advocacy group alignment,

ongoing brand development and

continuous pursuit of cutting-edge technologies for future integration.

As of September 30, 2025, we have retained six channel partners to augment our sales and marketing efforts, serving business customers with SOBRsafe™ technology solutions, including the SOBRcheck™ and SOBRsure™ devices.

Intellectual Property

We possess the following patent and pending patent applications related to our SOBRsafe™ system and related devices:

1)

U.S. Patent No. 9,296,298, entitled "Alcohol detection system for vehicle driver testing with integral temperature compensation", which expires in 2032.

2)

U.S. Patent Application No. 17/996,996, entitled "Noninvasive Transdermal Alcohol Screening System," and related foreign filings in Canada and Europe.

3)

U.S. Patent Application No. 18/251,567, entitled "Wearable Data Collection Device With Non-Invasive Sensing," and related foreign filings in Canada, Europe, and Mexico.

4)

U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63,648,833, entitled "Vehicle Diagnostic Port Dongle for Preventing Vehicle Start."

5)

U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63,678,599, entitled "Multi-Application Transdermal Screen Device".

We are currently applying for the related patents to convert our Provisionals as part of our patent defense strategy.

We applied for trademarks related to the SOBRsafe™ system, SOBRcheck™ and SOBRsure™, and "SOBR" as standard characters with no specific formatting.

Government Regulation

As we utilize a unique "Pass/Fail" methodology that simply alerts to the presence of alcohol (as opposed to measuring a discrete BrAC) - information that may be used at the discretion of the employer (or counselor, parent, etc.) - we do not believe we will be subject to any government regulation in the targeted alcohol detection markets including Behavioral Health, Justice, Alcohol Rehabilitation, Consumer, Facility & Fleet, or Young Driver markets. In the Judicial market, regulations vary significantly by state; some states only allow for the use of certain methodologies like breath or urine, while others do not specify and there exists no regulated barrier to entry for a transdermal solution.

Human Capital Resources and Employees

As of January 8, 2026, there are a total of 17 full time employees, including Company officers Chairman/Chief Executive Officer/Secretary, David Gandini, and Chief Financial Officer/Treasurer, Christopher Whitaker. The employee base primarily operates from our corporate offices located in Greenwood Village, Colorado. Employees who operate remotely from our corporate offices primarily consist of territorial sales and business development representatives. The remainder of our workforce consists of professional consultants in supporting roles due to the size and nature of our business.

Oversight and Management

Reverse Stock Split

On March 30, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as previously amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware for the purpose of effecting a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company's Common Stock.

On April 4, 2025, the Certificate of Amendment became effective with the State of Delaware and began trading on a post-split basis as of market open on April 4, 2025 As a result of the reverse stock split, every 10 shares of the outstanding Common Stock prior to the effect of the Certificate of Amendment was combined and reclassified into one share of the Common Stock.

The reverse stock split did not have any impact on the number of authorized shares of Common Stock which remains at 100,000,000 shares.

Recent Developments

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the following developments occurred:

➢ Achieved an increase in revenue of 102.1% from the prior year nine-month period.

➢ Net proceeds of approximately $3.3M were received from the exercise of outstanding warrants during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, which were issued in conjunction with the 2024 PIPE Financing completed in October 2024.

➢ We effected and completed a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company's common stock on April 4, 2025, a Share Combination Event, reducing the total number of outstanding shares from approximately 15.2 million to 1.5 million. Fractional shares as a result of the reverse stock split were rounded up to one full share of common stock. Following the reverse stock split, the exercise price of the Series A Warrants issued in conjunction with the 2024 PIPE Financing was reduced to the Floor Price of $7.60 per common share. Further, the Share Combination Event resulted in the calculation of a True-up Payment due to the remaining holders limited to a ceiling of $1,640,000, which was paid in full in July 2025.

➢ Enhanced SOBRsafe's patent-pending software technology solutions with improvements to the mobile application including streamlined administration application and notification protocols and introduced new user interface elements.

➢ Completed third-party hardware product validation tests in the first quarter of 2025 and a corresponding third-party product sensor validation test.

➢ Collaborated with a national marketing firm providing solutions to and for the largest U.S. newspaper publisher and the largest local-to-national publishing and digital media organization in the United States, launching both business-to-consumer and business-to-business marketing initiatives building brand recognition and support 2025 sales efforts. The effort has generated improved brand awareness and stimulated market adoption through the multi-channel, multi-disciplined national marketing campaigns.

➢ Initiated a robust marketing campaign in March 2025 which was executed in April 2025 to correspond with the National Council on Alcohol and Drug Dependence Alcohol Awareness Month.

➢ Additional marketing focused campaigns have been conducted to coincide with key national initiatives including Recovery Month in September 2025.

➢ Broadened the global reach of SOBRsafe users and subscribers across all 50 U.S. states, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, while launching an alcohol detection and testing program for airport personnel and pilots outside of the U.S., building upon the Company's global footprint.

➢ Expanded business-to-business sales in the first quarter of 2025 into the family law market to address the approximate 450,000 individuals undergoing domestic monitoring.

➢ On July 17, 2025, the Company's stockholders approved and ratified an amendment to increase the number of shares authorized under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan to 350,000 shares.

➢ As of October 31, 2025, the Company has successfully exited the one-year monitoring period by the Nasdaq Listing Qualification staff which expired on October 30, 2025. Thus, the Company is no longer subject to limitations surrounding the granting of addition time periods to cure and regain compliance with applicable Nasdaq listing requirements should the Company fall out of compliance in the future.

Risk Factors

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See the "Risk Factors" section of this prospectus and in the documents we incorporate by reference in this prospectus for a discussion of factors you should consider carefully before deciding to invest in our securities.

Reverse Stock Split

On March 31, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as previously amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware for the purpose of effecting a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company's Common Stock.

On April 4, 2025, the Certificate of Amendment became effective with the State of Delaware and began trading on a post-split basis at market open on April 4, 2025. As a result of the reverse stock split, every 10 shares of the outstanding Common Stock prior to the effect of the Certificate of Amendment were combined and reclassified into one share of the Common Stock.

RISK FACTORS

Any investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the following information, together with the other information contained in this Prospectus and in the "Risk Factors" section of the 2024 Form 10-K and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, each of which has been filed with the SEC and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus, before you decide to buy our Common Stock. We face risks in developing devices based on our SOBRsafe™ platform, as well in marketing and selling such devices. If we are not successful in developing, marketing, and/or selling devices based on our SOBRsafe™ platform we will not be successful in generating revenue. The following risks and risk factors incorporated by reference are material risks that we face. If any of the events or developments discussed below or in our documents incorporated by reference occur, our business, our ability to achieve revenues, our operating results and our financial condition could be seriously harmed. In such an event, the fair value of our Common Stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our operations.

Risks Related to the Company

We may not be able to maintain our listing on Nasdaq, which could have a material adverse effect on us and our stockholders.

We may not be able to maintain our listing on Nasdaq, which could have a material adverse effect on us and our stockholders. The standards for continued listing on Nasdaq include, among other things, that the minimum bid price for the listed securities may not fall below $1.00 for a period in excess of 30 consecutive business days and stockholders' equity maintain a minimum value of at least $2,500,000.

During the months of October 2023 and November 2023, our Common Stock traded at levels below $1.00 per share in excess of the 30-business day requirement. On November 15, 2023, we received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the "Staff") of Nasdaq notifying us that, for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price of our Common Stock remained below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on Nasdaq (the "Bid Price Requirement"). The Company was provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until May 13, 2024, (the "Compliance Period") to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement.

On April 8, 2024, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Staff notifying the Company that, based upon the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2023, the Company is not in compliance with the minimum stockholders' equity requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires companies listed on Nasdaq to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders' equity for continued listing (the "Stockholders' Equity Rule"). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(d)(2), the failure to comply with the Stockholders' Equity Rule became an additional and separate basis for delisting.

On May 15, 2024, the Company received a staff determination letter (the "Determination Letter") from the Staff notifying the Company that it had not regained compliance with the Bid Price Requirement by May 13, 2024, and was not eligible for a second 180-day period due to the Company's failure to comply with the minimum stockholders' equity initial listing requirement for Nasdaq. The Company subsequently requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") which automatically stayed any suspension or delisting action for the Company's securities pending the Panel hearing decision.

A hearing on this matter was held on July 2, 2024.

On August 5, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Panel stating that the Panel has determined to grant the request of the Company to continue its listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market subject to certain conditions enumerated therein. The Panel has determined to grant the Company's request for an exception until October 23, 2024, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement and Stockholders' Equity Rule.

On October 4, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Staff notifying that the Company does not currently meet the minimum 500,000 publicly held shares requirement pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(4) (the "Minimum Float Requirement"). As a result of the 1-for-110 reverse stock split of the Common Stock on October 2, 2024, the aggregate number of outstanding Common Stock was reduced from 34,764,593 shares on a pre-reverse-split basis to a total of 316,042 shares outstanding on a post-reverse split basis, with 285,611 of such shares currently qualifying as publicly held shares for purposes of the Minimum Float Requirement. The Staff has given us until October 11, 2024, to provide the Panel with its views with respect to this additional deficiency.

On October 9, 2024, the Company closed the Private Placement for gross proceeds of $8.2 million. The Company expects to regain compliance with the Minimum Float Requirement through the Private Placement.

As of October 31, 2025, the Company successfully exited the one-year monitoring period by the Nasdaq Listing Qualification staff which expired on October 30, 2025. Thus, the Company is no longer subject to limitations surrounding the granting of addition time periods to cure and regain compliance with applicable Nasdaq listing requirements should the Company fall out of compliance in the future.

Should we fall out of compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement, we may be limited in our ability to regain compliance.

Currently, the Company is in compliance with all Nasdaq listing requirements but there can be no assurance that we will continue to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements. Nonetheless, we monitor each requirement on a quarterly basis, including the closing bid price of our Common Stock. Nasdaq amended its Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv) to limit the ability of a listed company to utilize a reverse stock split to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. It now provides that a listed company is not eligible for any cure period to address a deficiency in the minimum bid price requirement if it effected a reverse stock split in the prior year, and the inability to utilize a cure period under the amended Listed Rule applies even if the listed company was in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement at the time of a reverse stock split effected within the prior year.

If the closing bid price of our Common Stock or the value of our stockholders' equity were to fail to meet Nasdaq's respective minimum requirements within the prescribed periods, or if we otherwise fail to meet any other applicable requirements of Nasdaq and we are unable to regain compliance, Nasdaq may make a determination to delist our Common Stock. The delisting of our Common Stock from Nasdaq could negatively impact us by (i) reducing the liquidity and market price of our Common Stock; (ii) reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our Common Stock, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; (iii) impacting our ability to use a registration statement to offer and sell freely tradable securities, thereby preventing or limiting us from accessing the public capital markets; and (iv) impairing our ability to provide equity incentives to our employees.

If our Common Stock is delisted from Nasdaq and become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.

The SEC has adopted regulations which define a "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as therein defined) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock by a retail customer, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about commissions payable to both the broker/dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. If, following this offering, the market price for shares of our Common Stock falls below $5.00, and we do not satisfy any of the exceptions to the SEC's definition of penny stock, our Common Stock will be classified as a penny stock. If such should occur, as a result of the penny stock restrictions, brokers or potential investors may be reluctant to trade in our securities, which may result in less liquidity for our securities.

Risks Related to this Offering

The Selling Securityholders may sell their shares of Common Stock in the open market, which may cause our stock price to decline.

The Selling Securityholders may sell their shares of Common Stock being registered in this offering in the public market. That means that up to 1,290,324 shares of Common Stock, 1,290,324 shares underlying the Series C Warrants, 1,290,324 shares underlying the Series D warrants, and 96,774 shares under the Placement Agent Warrants may be sold in the public market if the Selling Securityholders exercise the all of the Warrants. Such sales will likely cause our stock price to decline.

Sale of our Common Stock by the Selling Securityholders could encourage short sales by third parties, which could contribute to the further decline of our stock price.

The significant downward pressure on the price of our Common Stock caused by the sale of material amounts of Common Stock could encourage short sales by third parties. Such an event could place further downward pressure on the price of our Common Stock.

USE OF PROCEEDS

See the section entitled "Plan of Distribution" of this prospectus for additional information. The prices at which the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus may actually be sold will be determined by the prevailing public market price for shares of our Common Stock, by negotiations between the Selling Securityholders and buyers of our Common Stock in private transactions or as otherwise described in "Plan of Distribution."

The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the Common Stock offered by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus.

Under the terms of the warrants, a Selling Securityholder may not exercise the warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such Selling Securityholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock which would exceed 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable, of our then outstanding Common Stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants that have not been exercised. The number of Common Stock in the second column does not reflect this limitation. The Selling Securityholders may sell all, some or none of their Common Stock in this offering.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each Selling Securityholder of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal Trading Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Securityholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

·

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

·

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities 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;

·

settlement of short sales;

·

in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Securityholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

·

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

·

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

·

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Securityholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Securityholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Securityholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Securityholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker- dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Securityholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Securityholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Securityholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Common Stock

The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. The holders of our Common Stock do not have any cumulative voting rights. Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably any dividends declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, subject to any preferential dividend rights of any outstanding preferred stock. We have not paid any dividends on our Common Stock and do not contemplate doing so in the foreseeable future. Our Common Stock has no preemptive rights, conversion rights or other subscription rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions.

In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of our Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of all debts and other liabilities and any liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock.

Preferred Stock

Our board is authorized by our charter to establish classes or series of preferred stock and fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such class or series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof without any further vote or action by our stockholders. Any shares of preferred stock so issued could have priority over our Common Stock with respect to dividend or liquidation rights. Any future issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our control without further action by our stockholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of our Common Stock.

The issuance of shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase such shares, could be used to discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal. For instance, the issuance of a series of preferred stock might impede a business combination by including class voting rights that would enable a holder to block such a transaction. In addition, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our Common Stock. Although our board is required to make any determination to issue preferred stock based on its judgment as to the best interests of our stockholders, our board could act in a manner that would discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction that some, or a majority, of our stockholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which such stockholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then market price of such stock.

Effect of Certain Provisions of Our Bylaws

Our bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring, or discouraging another party from acquiring control of us. These provisions and certain provisions of Delaware law, which are summarized below, could discourage takeovers, coercive or otherwise.

Our bylaws provide for our Board of Directors to be divided into three classes serving staggered terms. Approximately one-third of the Board of Directors will be elected each year. This method of electing directors makes changes in the composition of the Board of Directors more difficult, and thus a potential change in control of a corporation a lengthier and more difficult process. A classified board of directors is designed to assure continuity and stability in a board of directors' leadership and policies by ensuring that at any given time a majority of the directors will have prior experience with our Company and be familiar with our business and operations.

The classified board structure may increase the amount of time required for a takeover bidder to obtain control of the Company without the cooperation of our Board of Directors, even if the takeover bidder were to acquire a majority of the voting power of our outstanding common stock. Without the ability to obtain immediate control of our Board of Directors, a takeover bidder will not be able to take action to remove other impediments to its acquisition of our Company. Thus, a classified Board of Directors could discourage certain takeover attempts, perhaps including some takeovers that stockholders may feel would be in their best interests. Further, a classified Board of Directors will make it more difficult for stockholders to change the majority composition of our Board of Directors, even if our stockholders believe such a change would be beneficial. Because a classified Board of Directors will make the removal or replacement of directors more difficult, it will increase the directors' security in their positions, and could be viewed as tending to perpetuate incumbent management.

Since the creation of a classified Board of Directors will increase the amount of time required for a hostile bidder to acquire control of our Company, the existence of a classified board of directors could tend to discourage certain tender offers which stockholders might feel would be in their best interest. However, our Board of Directors believes that forcing potential bidders to negotiate with our Board of Directors for a change of control transaction will allow our Board of Directors to better maximize stockholder value in any change of control transaction.

Our bylaws also provide that, unless we consent in writing to an alternative forum, the federal and state courts of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, or employees to us or our stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or (iv) any action asserting a claim that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in each case subject the court having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein. This exclusive forum provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. This forum selection provision may limit our stockholders' ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that they find favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, employees and agents even though an action, if successful, might benefit our stockholders.

Our bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before any meeting of our stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to our board of directors. At an annual or special meeting, stockholders may only consider proposals or nominations (i) specified in the notice of meeting; (ii) brought before the meeting by or at the direction of our board of directors or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by any stockholder who is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice and on the record date of the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in our bylaws. The bylaws do not give our board of directors the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting of our stockholders. However, our bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed. These provisions may also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer's own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a three-year period following the time that this stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Under Section 203, a business combination between a corporation and an interested stockholder is prohibited unless it satisfies one of the following conditions:

·

before the stockholder became interested, our board approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

·

upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and employee stock plans, in some instances, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder; or

·

at or after the time the stockholder became interested, the business combination was approved by our board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Section 203 defines a business combination to include:

·

any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;

·

any sale, transfer, lease, pledge, exchange, mortgage or other disposition involving the interested stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation;

·

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; 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 entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by the entity or person.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Section 1 of Article VII of our Articles of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware we will indemnify our officers and directors from and against any and all expenses, liabilities, or other matters.

Section 2 of Article VI of our Articles of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no director or officer shall be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for damages for breach of any duty owed to the Company or its stockholders.

Article V of our Amended and Restated Bylaws states:

The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, each person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (a "Proceeding"), by reason of the fact that such person, or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise, or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, against all expense, liability, and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by such person. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify and hold harmless a person in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such person only if the commencement of such Proceeding (or part thereof) by the person was authorized in the specific case by the Board of Directors.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Preferred Stock

On March 1, 2022, the Board of Directors (the "Board") approved the designation of 3,000,000 shares of the Company's Preferred Stock as "Series B Convertible Preferred Stock". The 3,000,000 Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shares were issued in exchange for 303 shares of the Company's common stock held by the Company's CEO David Gandini and 607 shares of the Company's common stock held by IDTEC SPV, LLC, an entity controlled by a beneficial owner of the Company. The Company entered into the Share Exchange Agreements to provide certain changes to its capital structure in connection with the planned underwriting offering and listing on Nasdaq. The rights and preferences of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are as follows: (a) dividends shall not be mandatory or cumulative, (b) liquidation preference over the Company's common stock, (c) each three shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder, beginning on the date that is six months from the date the Holder acquired the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder, into one share of common stock, (d) no redemption rights by the Company, (e) no call rights by the Company, and (f) each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will vote on an "as converted" basis.

On April 20, 2023 the 3,000,000 Series B Convertible Preferred shares were converted to 910 shares of the Company's common stock at the option of the preferred stockholders. Neither the exchange nor the conversion resulted in a transfer of value.

These issuances were made in reliance on an exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.

any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
