Private Placement
On June 30, 2026, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors named in this prospectus pursuant to which we sold and issued 24,509,804 shares of common stock in the Private Placement, which closed on July 2, 2026. The purchase price per share of common stock was $3.06. The total aggregate purchase price paid by the Selling Stockholders was $75.0 million.
In connection with the Private Placement, on June 30, 2026, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Selling Stockholders named in this prospectus, pursuant to which we agreed to prepare and file, within 45 days following the date of the Registration Rights Agreement, a registration statement with the SEC to register for resale the shares of our common stock issued at the closing under the Purchase Agreement, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to promptly become effective.
For additional information regarding the Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement, refer to the summary of the Private Placement included under Item 1.01 of our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 1, 2026, which is incorporated by reference herein.
Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company
We are a smaller reporting company and may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our shares held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our shares held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company, we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and are subject to reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully review the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in any applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, and under similar headings in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by our subsequent annual, quarterly and other reports and documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement before deciding whether to purchase any of our securities being registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Each of the risk factors described in the documents referenced above could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities, and the occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment.

Please also read carefully the section below titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus, each applicable prospectus supplement, and the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus and each prospectus supplement contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and include this statement for purposes of complying with these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements generally will be accompanied by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “growth,” “guidance,” “intend,” “may,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “trajectory,” “will” or the negative of those terms, and similar expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are outside of management’s control and that may cause actual results to be materially different from such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, general economic conditions and economic conditions in the industrial sector; competitive influences; risks that current customers will commence or increase captive production; risks of capacity underutilization; quality issues; inflationary pressures and material changes in the cost or availability of raw materials, supply chain shortages and disruptions, the availability of labor and labor disruptions along the supply chain; our dependence on certain major customers, some of whom are not parties to long-term agreements (and/or are terminable on short notice); the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, as well as expansion of end markets and product offerings; our ability to hire or retain key personnel; the restrictions contained in our debt agreements; the level of our indebtedness and our ability to obtain financing at favorable rates, if at all, or to refinance existing debt as it matures; our ability to secure, maintain or enforce patents or other appropriate protections for our intellectual property; the impact of climate change on our operations; economic, social, political and geopolitical instability, military conflict, currency fluctuation, and other risks of doing business outside of the United States; uncertainty of government policies and actions in respect to global trade and tariffs, including the potential impacts of tariffs on the United States economy, the economy of other countries in which we conduct operations and our industry; cyber liability or potential liability for breaches of our or our service providers’ information technology systems or business operations disruptions; and other risks and uncertainties set forth in documents filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. For the reasons described above, we caution against relying on any forward-looking statements, which should also be read in conjunction with the sections entitled “Business,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in other sections incorporated by reference from our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as applicable, as well as our other filings with the SEC. You should be aware that the occurrence of any of the events discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in any applicable prospectus supplement and any documents incorporated by reference herein or therein could substantially harm our business, operating results, and financial condition and that if any of these events occurs, it could adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities.
The cautionary statements made in this prospectus are intended to be applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they may appear in this prospectus or in any prospectus supplement or any documents incorporated by reference herein or therein. We urge you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update our forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
General
Our authorized capital stock consists of 90,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”). Our board of directors (the “Board”) is authorized, without stockholder approval, except as required by the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market, to issue additional shares of our capital stock. In addition, our board of directors may, without further action by our stockholders, designate the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions of our Preferred Stock in one or more series.
As of May 18, 2026, we had outstanding 52,742,725 shares of common stock and 65,000 shares of Series D Perpetual Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”).
Common Stock
The following description of common stock is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms and provisions contained in our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), and our Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended from time to time (the “Bylaws”), each of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. We encourage you to read our Certificate of Incorporation, our Bylaws, and the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) for additional information.
Dividends
Subject to preferential rights of any other class or series of Preferred Stock, holders of common stock may receive dividends pro rata out of assets that we can legally use to pay dividends, when, as and if they are declared by our Board.
Voting Rights
Holders of common stock will have the exclusive power to vote on all matters presented to our stockholders, including the election of directors, except as otherwise provided by Delaware law or as provided with respect to any other class or series of stock. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share. There is no cumulative voting in the election of our directors, which means that, subject to any rights to elect directors that are granted to the holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock, a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present is required to elect a director in any uncontested election and a plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present is required to elect a director in any contested election.
Liquidation Rights
In the event we are liquidated, dissolved or our affairs are wound up, after we pay or make adequate provision for all of our known debts and liabilities, each holder of common stock will receive dividends pro rata out of assets that we can legally use to pay distributions, subject to any rights that are granted to the holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock.
Fully Paid and Nonassessable
The outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and nonassessable.
Absence of Other Rights
Holders of common stock have no preference, appraisal or exchange rights, except for any appraisal rights provided by Delaware law. Furthermore, holders of common stock have no conversion, sinking fund or redemption rights, or preemptive rights to subscribe for any of our securities.
Preferred Stock
Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes our Board, without stockholder approval, to designate and issue up to 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences.
6
privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon each such series of Preferred Stock, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preference, sinking fund terms, subscription rights and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of a series. Our Board can issue, without stockholder approval, Preferred Stock with voting and conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common stock and reduce the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments or payments upon liquidation. Such issuance could have the effect of decreasing the market price of the common stock. The issuance of Preferred Stock or even the ability to issue Preferred Stock could also have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change of control or other corporate action.
Series D Preferred Stock
The following description of our Series D Preferred Stock is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms and provisions contained in the Certificate of Designation of Series D Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series D Certificate of Designation”), which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. We encourage you to read our Series D Certificate of Designation and the DGCL for additional information.
On March 22, 2021, we completed a private placement of 65,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated March 22, 2021, by and between the Company and NGTV Nevada Holdings LP (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). As of May 19, 2026, 65,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock are outstanding.
Dividends
Holders of Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board, and we shall pay, out of funds lawfully available therefor, cumulative dividends payable in cash quarterly in arrears at the rate per share of 10% per annum of the Initial Liquidation Preference (as defined below) per share of Series D Preferred Stock (the “Cash Dividend Rate”). On any dividend payment date, if a dividend is not paid in cash, the liquidation preference per share of Series D Preferred Stock will be increased to 12.0% per annum (the “Preference Accrual Rate”) on the then current liquidation preference per share of Series D Preferred Stock (the “Liquidation Preference Adjustment”). On March 22, 2026, the Cash Dividend Rate and the Preference Accrual Rate, expressed as a percentage, increased by an amount equal to 2.5%, and shall continue to increase by an amount equal to 2.5% on each anniversary date. In addition to the foregoing, beginning on September 30, 2027 and continuing quarterly thereafter, the Board shall declare and we shall pay in cash a dividend to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock unless otherwise prohibited by the DGCL or any effective credit agreement to which we are a party.
Voting Rights
Holders of the Series D Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights, other than with respect to: (i) amendments or waivers to our organizational documents that generally have an adverse effect on the Series D Preferred Stock; (ii) authorization, creation, or issuance of, or the combination or reclassification of any securities into, any additional shares of Series D Preferred Stock or any senior or parity securities; (iii) the declaration or payment of any dividend or distribution on, or redemption or repurchase of, any issued and outstanding shares of common stock or any other junior securities; (iv) incurrence by us and our subsidiaries of indebtedness other than (x) any indebtedness that would be permitted to be incurred under any credit agreement to which we were a party at the time the Series D Preferred Stock was issued, (y) indebtedness incurred in connection with refinancing our existing indebtedness outstanding, subject to certain limitations, and (z) indebtedness the net proceeds of which are contemporaneously used to redeem all outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock; (v) the making of any dispositions, subject to certain exceptions; and (vi) any voluntary liquidation or bankruptcy filing. For effecting or validating any of the foregoing actions by the Company, whether or not such approval is required pursuant to the DGCL, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding at such time, voting together as a separate class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose is required.
7
Liquidation Preference
The Series D Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share of Series D Preferred Stock (the “Initial Liquidation Preference”). In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Company, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, in respect of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock held by them, out of assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders of the Company or their assignees, and subject to the rights of any outstanding shares of any class or series of securities that ranks senior to the Series D Preferred Stock and before any amount shall be distributed to any holders of any class or series of securities that ranks junior to the Series D Preferred Stock, a liquidating distribution in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Initial Liquidation Preference as such amount may have been increased for any adjustments, and (ii) 140% of the Initial Liquidation Preference.
Conversion and Exchange Rights
The shares of Series D Preferred Stock are not convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock or any other security.
Redemption
We may redeem all or a portion of (but in no event less than 25,000 of the Series D Preferred Stock) the then outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock for an amount equal to the liquidation preference then in effect of such shares of Series D Preferred Stock (the “Redemption Price”). If we redeem only a portion of the then outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock, the shares of Series D Preferred Stock subject to such redemption shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the then outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock.
In connection with a Change of Control (as defined in the Series D Certificate of Designation), each holder of shares of Series D Preferred Stock has the right to require that we redeem all or a portion of such holder’s shares of Series D Preferred Stock for cash in an amount equal to the Redemption Price then in effect. We may also redeem all or a portion of the then outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock for cash in an amount equal to the Redemption Price then in effect.
Ranking
The Series D Preferred Stock shall rank, with respect to the payment of dividends and other distributions, including the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, (i) senior to the common stock and to any other class or series of the Preferred Stock, and (ii) junior to any existing or future secured or unsecured indebtedness of the Company.
Warrants
As of May 18, 2026, there were warrants to purchase up to 1,215,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $11.03 per share outstanding, which are exercisable, in full or in part, at any time prior to December 11, 2026.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL regulating corporate takeovers. In general, Section 203, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date that such person or entity became an interested stockholder, unless:
•
prior to such date, 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
8
•
at or subsequent to such date of the transaction that resulted in a person or entity becoming an interested stockholder, 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 662∕3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.
The application of Section 203 may limit the ability of stockholders to approve a transaction that they may deem to be in their best interests. In addition, 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 our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, elect not to be governed by this section, effective 12 months after adoption.
In general, Section 203 defines “business combination” as:
•
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 certain exceptions, any transaction which results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;
•
any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock 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 and 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
•
an affiliate or associate of the above.
Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws do not exclude us from the restrictions imposed under Section 203. We anticipate that the provisions of Section 203 may encourage companies interested in acquiring us to negotiate in advance with our board of directors because 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.
Other Corporate Governance Matters
Under our Certificate of Incorporation, directors shall be elected for a one-year term expiring at the next annual meeting. Directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms then expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the succeeding annual meeting after their election, with each director to hold office until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified.
Subject to the preferential rights of any other class or series of preferred stock, any director, or the entire Board, may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company, voting together as a single class. Our Bylaws require that stockholders provide the Secretary of our company with notice of the nomination of a person for election as a director with respect to an election to be held at an annual meeting of stockholders, not less than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting in lieu of an annual meeting, provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be given, not earlier than the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or, if later, the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was
9
first made. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice for nominations to be made at a special meeting must be made not earlier than the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the 90th day prior to such special meeting or, if later, the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such special meeting was first made. Our Bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders of our company may be called only by: (i) the Chairman of the Board, (ii) by a majority of the Board, or (iii) the Chief Executive Officer of our Company. Our Certificate of Incorporation, as well as applicable provisions of the DGCL, provide that no action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of our stockholders may be taken without a meeting, unless the consent of two-thirds of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of stock of the company entitled to vote on the matter is obtained. These provisions may diminish the likelihood that a potential acquirer would make an offer for our common stock or that there would otherwise be a change in control of our company.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Computershare Trust Company, N.A.. The transfer agent’s address is 462 South 4th Street, Louisville, Kentucky 40202.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The Selling Stockholders may sell some, all or none of their shares. We do not know how long the Selling Stockholders will hold the shares before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the Selling Stockholders regarding the sale or other disposition of any of the shares. The shares covered hereby may be offered from time to time by the Selling Stockholders. As a result, we cannot estimate the number of shares of common stock the Selling Stockholders will beneficially own after termination of sales under this prospectus. In addition, the Selling Stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of their shares of common stock since the date on which they provided information for the table below.
Information regarding each additional Selling Stockholder, if any, will be set forth by a prospectus supplement to the extent required prior to the time of any offer or sale of such Selling Stockholder’s shares pursuant to this prospectus. Any prospectus supplement may add, update, substitute, or change the information contained in this prospectus, including the identity of each Selling Stockholder and the number of shares registered on its behalf. A Selling Stockholder may sell or otherwise transfer all, some or none of such shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to our common stock. Generally, a person “beneficially owns” shares of our common stock if the person has or shares with others the right to vote those shares or to dispose of them, or if the person has the right to acquire voting or disposition rights within 60 days.
The information in the table below and the footnotes thereto regarding shares of common stock to be beneficially owned after the offering assumes the sale of all shares being offered by the Selling Stockholders under this prospectus. This information has been obtained from the Selling Stockholders. The percentage of shares owned after the offering is based on 77,083,705 shares outstanding as of July 2, 2026.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Each Selling Stockholder 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 any 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 Stockholder 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 Stockholders 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 Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (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 Stockholders 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 Stockholders 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 Stockholders 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 Stockholders 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 Stockholder 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 Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
We agreed to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and
13
without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the shares of common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the shares of common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
