Overview

 

Safety Shot Inc. (NASDAQ: SHOT) was formerly known as Jupiter Wellness Inc. In August 2023, the Company successfully completed the asset purchase of the Safety Shot Dietary Supplement from GBB Drink Lab, Inc. (“GBB”), thereby gaining ownership of various assets, including the intellectual property, trade secrets, and trademarks associated with its dietary supplement (the “Safety Shot Dietary Supplement”). Concurrently with the asset purchase, the Company changed its name to Safety Shot, Inc. and changed its NASDAQ trading symbol to SHOT. The Company launched its e-commerce sale of the Safety Shot Dietary Supplement in December 2023. On October 9, 2024, the Company renamed the Safety Shot Dietary Supplement as the “Sure Shot Dietary Supplement”

 

The Sure Shot Dietary Supplement has been formulated to reduce the accumulation of blood alcohol. Noteworthy is the fact that the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement comprises 28 active ingredients, all falling under the Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS) category. Under sections 201(s) and 409 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), any substance that is intentionally added to food is a dietary supplement, that is subject to premarket review and approval by the FDA, unless the substance is generally recognized, among qualified experts, as having been adequately shown to be safe under the conditions of its intended use, or unless the use of the substance is otherwise excepted from the definition of a dietary supplement.

 

It’s crucial to note that the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement is currently manufactured in a facility adhering to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), ensuring the highest standards of quality and safety throughout its production process. The Company currently maintains a workforce comprising eight full-time employees of its own.

 

Specializing in Consumer Packaged Goods, our focus centers on the commercialization of a 12-ounce product positioned as a dietary supplement. Beyond our existing product, we are actively pursuing a future product line, including a convenient powdered stick pack version and a 4-ounce version of the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement.

  

The Company has discontinued the historical product lines of Jupiter Wellness which included a diverse range of products, such as hair loss treatments, vitiligo solutions, and sexual wellness products, that catered to different health and wellness needs and our commitment to supporting health and wellness by developing innovative solutions to a range of conditions. In connection therewith, on September 24, 2024 the Company entered into a Separation and Exchange Agreement with its subsidiary Caring Brands, Inc. whereby Caring Brands will seek to commercialize this product line. Caring Brands will be responsible for all costs associated with the operation of that line of business. The Company will focus its efforts on the commercialization of the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement. The Company will retain ownership of 3,000,000 shares of Caring Brands, Inc.

 

The Company entered into a stock exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with SRM Entertainment, Inc. (“SRM”) to govern the separation of SRM and the Company. On May 26, 2023, we amended and restated the Exchange Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement”) to include additional information regarding the distribution and the separation of SRM and the Company. The separation as set forth in the Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement with the Company closed August 14, 2023. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement, on May 31, 2023, SRM issued to the Company 6,500,000 shares of SRM Common Stock (representing 79.3% of SRM’s outstanding shares of Common Stock) in exchange for 2 ordinary shares of SRM Ltd owned by the Company (representing all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of SRM) (the “Share Exchange”). On August 14, 2023, SRM consummated its Initial Public Offering (“IPO”), pursuant to which it sold 1,250,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $5.00 per share. In connection with the Share Exchange and SRM’s IPO, the Company distributed 2,000,000 shares of SRM’s common stock to the Company’s stockholders and certain warrant holders (out of the 6.5 million shares issued in May 2023) which occurred on the effective date of the Registration Statement but prior to the closing of the IPO. Following such distribution, the Company owns 4.0 million of the 9,450,000 shares of common stock outstanding and SRM is now a minority owned subsidiary of the Company.

To achieve our mission, we rely on our team of highly skilled and experienced professionals who are committed to advancing our vision of health and wellness. Our team includes individuals with scientific backgrounds, an experienced researcher, product developers, and business experts who collaborate to create new products and enhance existing ones. We also seek to partner with industry leaders and organizations to gain access to the latest technologies and expand our reach.

 

The Sure Shot Dietary Supplement is currently sold through e-commerce and in stores such as BevMo!. In addition, we are seeking to collaborate with other companies to license our intellectual property, to create additional revenue streams and expand our global presence. At present, we do not experience concentration risk or dependence on major customers.

 

We maintain a diverse network of raw material suppliers integral to our production processes. Acquisition strategies encompass both direct procurement and collaborative efforts with our co-packers. The selection of suppliers is contingent upon various factors, including ingredient specificity, availability, and other essential considerations. Notably, these suppliers coincide with those currently providing materials to other facilities engaged in the manufacturing of drinks, powders, tablets, and capsules. Our roster of suppliers comprises reputable entities such as Jiaherb, Compound Solutions, Kyowa-Hakko, Mitsubishi Ingredients, Nura, Sensapure Flavors, Brenntag, E3 Ingredients, Ingredients Online, among others. This strategic alliance with established industry players underscores our commitment to sourcing high-quality raw materials essential for the production of our innovative product line. Furthermore, our approach to supplier relationships reflects a dedication to maintaining a seamless and reliable supply chain. We believe that this not only ensures the consistency of our current offerings but also positions us favorably for future developments. The Management believes that as we continue to expand our product portfolio, we believe that these partnerships with trusted suppliers play a pivotal role in upholding the standards that we expect of our brand.

 

Products Roadmap

 

The Sure Shot Dietary Supplement was launched on our own website and through Amazon in December 2023 and with several Big Box stores. The Company is advancing several product formats and formulations to continue to offer a wide array of products that can be purchased at various locations that coincide with consumer shopping habits. In particular, the Company plans to continue to develop new flavors for each of its current SKUs (12oz., 4 oz. and “Stick Pack”. In addition, the current formula will be offered at various dosages and the Company plans to conduct additional research studies as follows: assessing varying dosages of the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement against body weight, gender and age, examining several current and proposed ingredients with respect to their specific role in reducing BAC and how they affect the enzymatic activity associated with the metabolism of alcohol, and finally, examining additional markers with respect to improving post-alcohol consumption symptoms and feelings.

 

The Company intends to perform the additional research studies in Q2 and Q3 of 2025. The Company will continue to sponsor the studies and intends to work with the Center for Applied Health Sciences (“CAHS”) in Canfield, OH. The participants will be selected based upon the parameters of the individual studies and the Company will follow the same protocols employed in the clinical trials at the CAHS described in more detail below in “Research and Development.”

 

Research and Development

 

Our research and development team in continually looking to develop new therapeutic products, while continually improving and enhancing our existing products and product candidates to address customer demands and emerging trends.

 

We have conducted extensive informal research and experimentation involving a substantial number of volunteers under the influence of alcohol. Our findings indicate that the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement can reduce a person’s Blood Alcohol Content, as measured by the premier Breathalyzer on the market. We have recently completed our clinical trials of the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement which have shown a statistically significant reduction in the Blood Alcohol Content (“BAC”) of the participants. The observable enhancements in cognitive abilities among the test subjects have been carefully documented.  

 

The clinical trials took place from January 29, 2024, through June 10, 2024, at the CAHS located at 6570 Seville Drive, Canfield, OH 44406. The clinical trials were sponsored and paid for by the Company and consisted of 36 participants with a mean age of 36.3 years that were selected through advertising of the study. The Company did not inquire about the participants typical level of alcohol consumption but each participant had to qualify based upon a complete medical history questionnaire, release from physicians and submitting to a standard bloodwork panel. Each participant consumed exactly 100 mL of alcohol and the BAC of the participants ranged from 0.047 % to 0.068 %. The participants were not employees of the Company nor affiliated with the Company in any way. The clinical trials were a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study that found that within 30 minutes of the consumption of the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement, the monitored participants saw a statistically significant drop of p=.002 in BAC and continued to see measurable drops in successive 30-minute increments. The results were measured by using a DOT-approved BACtrack S80 Breathalyzer on the participants to determine their BAC after ingesting several alcoholic beverages, followed by drinking 12 ounces of the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement and then measuring the participants' BAC 30 minutes later. In addition, cognitive responses were measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (“VAS”) and physical function assessed at the same intervals as the blood draws and breathalyzer assessments to correlate to function. The VAS consisted of a 10 cm, straight line with end points that measured from low-to-high for a number of physical feelings and sensations. The participants were asked to mark a point on the line that corresponded with their experience. The distance from the end to the point marked by the participant was then measured in millimeters to quantify their level of sensation. On each visit, participants were asked to perform the VAS tests and the VAS assessed subjective ratings for head discomfort (headache), nausea, fatigue, energy, tiredness, thirst and ability to concentrate. The Company also conducted further physical assessment by monitoring biometric measurements such as blood pressure and heart rate at various intervals. The key assumptions in the study were that the participants would demonstrate a marked decrease in BAC following the consumption of the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement versus that of the placebo. In addition, the study assumed that the participants would feel better and demonstrate marked improvement in cognitive skills and physical function following the consumption of the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement versus that of the placebo. The Company had previously observed in our numerous, pre-clinical tests that participants who consumed significant amounts of alcohol (more than two drinks) experienced marked and rapid reductions in their BAC when measured by BACTrack S80 breathalyzers after consumption of the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement. In addition, the Company observed in the pre-clinical tests that the participants showed significant improvement in motor function and reduction in slurred speech and other markers commonly associated with alcohol consumption. These findings led the Company to continue to develop the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement and commission a clinical study to prove our hypothesis. There were five adverse events amongst the participants in the study. Four of the adverse events were associated with the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement (three felt nauseous and one developed a rash) and none of the adverse events were serious. The final adverse event was associated with congestion of the placebo.

 

Since approximately 2010, the Company has performed 100s of pre-clinical tests in an effort to develop and perfect the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement. These informal, pre-clinical tests included friends, family and other volunteers who consumed alcohol at varying levels and then were tested prior to the consumption of the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement. The pre-clinical tests were neither peer reviewed nor were the subjects screened prior to their participation. In addition, the VAS was not used nor were there any placebos or other control measures taken in the pre-clinical tests and as such these tests are considered informal and non-clinical. The participants’ BAC was measured by using the BacTrack S80 after the consumption of various amounts of alcohol and prior to the consumption of the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement and then at 30 minutes, 45 minutes and one-hour intervals after consumption of the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement so we could assess the efficacy of the Company’s R&D efforts at that point in time. The Company also observed motor function skills such as walking, balancing and speech at the same intervals following the consumption of 12 ounces of the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement. The Company defined and noted the significant improvement in each area by observing participants’ walk and whether a participant’s gait was unsteady, or whether their balance was off while standing and whether their speech was clear or slurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $100,591 and $1,637,117 for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2023, respectively.

Sales and Marketing

 

We primarily sell our products through e-commerce websites including Amazon and through retail stores such as BevMo!. To drive loyalty, word-of-mouth marketing, and sustainable growth, we invest in customer experience and customer relationship management. Our marketing investments are directed towards driving profitable growth through advertising, public relations, and brand promotion activities, including digital platforms, sponsorships, collaborations, brand activations, and channel marketing. Additionally, we continue to invest in our marketing and brand development efforts by investing capital expenditures on product displays to support our channel marketing via our retail partners. We launched the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement in stores such as BevMo! in the second quarter of 2024.

 

Manufacturing, Logistics and Fulfillment

 

We outsource the manufacturing of our products to contract manufacturers, who produce them according to our formulation specifications. Our products are manufactured by contract manufacturers in India and the US. The majority of our products will then be shipped to third-party warehouses and to our corporate offices, which can either transport them to our distributors, retailers, or directly to our customers. Our third-party warehouses are located in the US. We use a limited number of logistics providers to deliver our products to both distributors and retailers, which allows us to lessen order fulfillment time, cut shipping costs, and improve inventory flexibility.

 

Our Competitive Strengths

 

We are committed to driving continuous improvement through innovation. Since our inception, we have made significant investments in research and development and have acquired a substantial portfolio of intellectual property, which continues to grow each year. Our commitment to innovation has allowed us to create unique products that address unmet needs in the market, all backed by rigorous clinical research. We believe that our focus on research and development is designed to enable us to stay ahead of the curve and provide our customers with products that are not only effective but also innovative. We take pride in our patent portfolio and the continuous growth we have achieved, as we believe that it showcases our dedication to creating new and unique solutions for our customers. By staying committed to innovation, we are confident in our ability to meet the ever-changing needs of the health and wellness market. We believe that the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement stands as a unique product in the liquid dietary supplement market. Nevertheless, our competitive landscape includes many companies involved in the production of health and welfare products, including beverages.

Public health officials and health advocates are increasingly focused on the public health consequences associated with obesity and alcohol consumption, especially as they may affect children, and are seeking legislative change to reduce the consumption of sweetened and alcohol beverages.

 

We are subject to a number of regulations applicable to the formulation, labeling, packaging, and advertising (including promotional campaigns) of our products. In California, we are subject to California Proposition 65, a law which requires that a specified warning be provided before exposing California consumers to any product that contains in excess of threshold amounts of a substance listed by California as having been found to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity. California Proposition 65 does not require a warning if the manufacturer of a product can demonstrate that the use of the product in question exposes consumers to an average daily quantity of a listed substance that is below that threshold amount, which is determined either by scientific criteria set forth in applicable regulations or via a “safe harbor” threshold that may be established by the state, or the substance is naturally occurring, or is subject to another applicable exception. As of the date of this registration statement, we are not required to put a warning label on our product and our products are perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”) free. We are unable to predict whether a component found in our product might be added to the California list in the future. Furthermore, we are also unable to predict when or whether the increasing sensitivity of detection methodology may become applicable under this law and related regulations as they currently exist, or as they may be amended. If we are required to add warning labels to any of our products or place warnings in certain locations where our products are sold, it will be difficult to predict whether, or to what extent, such a warning would have an adverse impact on sales of our products in those locations or elsewhere. In addition, there has been increasing regulatory activity globally regarding constituents in packaging materials, including PFAS. Regardless of whether perceived health consequences of these constituents are justified, such regulatory activity could result in additional government regulations that impact the packaging of our beverages.

In addition, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) has regulations with respect to serving size information and nutrition labeling on food and beverage products, including a requirement to disclose the amount of added sugars in such products and regulations about whether a product qualifies as a drug. Further, the U.S. Department of Agriculture promulgated regulations requiring that, by January 1, 2022, the labels of certain bioengineered foods include a disclosure that the food is bioengineered. These regulations may impact, reduce and/or otherwise affect the purchase and consumption of our products by consumers.

 

All ingredients in the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement are deemed Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) and align with FDA standards, permitting their inclusion in supplements. In the event that the FDA or any governmental agency identifies an ingredient or aspect of our product as unsafe, we commit to promptly withdrawing that component in accordance with regulatory directives. From a product and sales perspective, there are no impediments or concerns raised by any governmental agency. It is essential to note that the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement is classified as a dietary supplement, exempt from the approval or filing requirements mandated for pharmaceutical drugs by the FDA or other regulatory authorities.

 

Employees

 

As of this prospectus, we had eight full-time employees. We believe our relations with our employees to be good.

 

Properties

 

Currently, we do not own any real property. We rent office space at 1061 E. Indiantown Rd., Ste. 110, Jupiter, FL 33477 for $15,038 per month. The Company entered into the office lease effective July 1, 2021, which has a primary term of the lease of five years with one renewal option for an additional three years. As part of the Separation Agreement, Caring Brands, Inc. has agreed to assume to lease obligations upon it reaching certain milestones.

Other rights

 

Holders of our common stock do not have any pre-emptive rights or other subscription rights, conversion rights, redemption or sinking fund provisions.

 

Preferred Stock

The purpose of authorizing our Board to issue preferred stock and determination its rights and preferences is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances.

The 2021 Notes have a six months term and are convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company at $6.00 per share. Interest shall accrue on the notes at 8% annually, payable on a quarterly basis. The 2021 Notes held by a particular holder will not be convertible to the extent such conversion would result in such holder owning more than 4.99% of the number of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to the issuance of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such note calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon not less than sixty-one (61) days advance written notice, at any time or from time to time, the holder at its sole discretion, may waive the 4.99% conversion limit. However, under any circumstance, the holder may not convert the 2021 Note if such conversion would cause holder’s beneficial ownership (as defined by Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the Company to exceed 9.99% of its total issued and outstanding common or voting shares. Any common shares converted under the 2021 Note need to be delivered to the holder within three (3) business days of the receipt of conversion notice.

 

The warrants are exercisable immediately for a period of five years for cash, at an exercise price of $6.00 per share of Common Stock.

Upon not less than sixty-one (61) days advance written notice, at any time or from time to time, the warrant holder at its sole discretion, may waive the 4.99% ownership limit. However, under any circumstance, the warrant holder may not exercise the warrant if such exercise would cause such Warrant holder’s beneficial ownership (as defined by Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the Common Stock of the Company to exceed 9.99% of its total issued and outstanding Common Stock or voting shares.

That registration statement became effective on July 3, 2023.

 

The entire discussion regarding the securities PIPE Agreements, registration rights agreement and related agreements is qualified in its entirety to the forms of such agreements which have been filed as exhibits to our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on January 25, 2023 which are incorporated by reference into the registration statement to which this prospectus forms a part.

 

In addition to the warrants related to the PIPE Agreements, During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company entered into four Investor Relations Consulting Agreements under the terms of which the Company issued a total of 1,000,000 five-year warrants, with an exercise price between $1.00 and $6.00.

Anti-Takeover Effects

 

Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws will include a number of provisions that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a party from acquiring control of us and encouraging persons considering unsolicited tender offers or other unilateral takeover proposals to negotiate with our Board rather than pursue non-negotiated takeover attempts. The provisions include the items described below.

 

Potential Effects of Authorized but Unissued Stock

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation limits the liability of directors to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors.

 

Our amended and restated bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law, and may indemnify employees and other agents. Our amended and restated bylaws also provide that we are obligated to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding.

 

We currently do not have a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance but intend to obtain such a policy in the near future.

 

Our amended and restated bylaws, subject to the provisions of Delaware Law, contain provisions which allow the corporation to indemnify any person against liabilities and other expenses incurred as the result of defending or administering any pending or anticipated legal issue in connection with service to us if it is determined that person acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed was in the best interest of the corporation. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended, or the Securities Act, may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, 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.

 

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our amended and restated bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might provide a benefit to us and our stockholders. Our results of operations and financial condition may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

 

14

 

At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or officers as to which indemnification is required or permitted, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification.

 

Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals

 

Our amended and restated bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and nomination of candidates for election as directors.

 

Limits on Special Meetings

 

Special meetings may be called for any purpose and at any time by the Chairman of the Board, the President (if there be one) or by any member of the Board. Business transacted at each special meeting shall be confined to the purposes stated in the notice of such meeting.

 

Election and Removal of Directors

 

Our Board is elected annually by our stockholders. The number of directors that shall constitute the whole Board shall not be less than three (3) nor more than seven (7) directors.

 

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes of shares of our capital stock present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting and entitled to vote in the election of directors. Each director shall hold office until a successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

 

Newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors or any vacancies in the Board resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or any other cause may be filled, so long as there is at least one remaining director, only by the Board, provided that a quorum is then in office and present, or by a majority of the directors then in office, if less than a quorum is then in office, or by the sole remaining director. Directors elected to fill a newly created directorship or other vacancies shall hold office until such director’s successor has been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal as hereinafter provided.

 

Any director may be removed from office at any time for cause, at a meeting called for that purpose, but only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

 

Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.

 

Amendments to Our Governing Documents

 

The affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, shall be required to adopt any provision inconsistent with, to amend or repeal any provision of, or to adopt a bylaw inconsistent with, Articles Two, Seven, Eight and Nine of our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

 

Our amended and restated bylaws may be amended or repealed and new bylaws may be adopted by the stockholders and/or the Board. Any bylaws adopted, amended or repealed by the Board may be amended or repealed by the stockholders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The selling stockholder may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on Nasdaq 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. The 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 stockholder 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.

 

16

 

The selling stockholder 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 stockholder may arrange for other brokers dealers to participate in sales. Broker dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholder (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 stockholder 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 stockholder 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 stockholder 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 stockholder 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. The selling stockholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

 

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the securities. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholder against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the selling stockholder without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for us 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 common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholder 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 common stock by the selling stockholder or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholder 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).

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Safety Shot, Inc. is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Reference is made to Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the “DGCL”), which enables a corporation in its original certificate of incorporation or an amendment thereto to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director for violations of the director’s fiduciary duty, except (1) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, which provides for liability of directors for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemptions or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

Section 145(a) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), because he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

 

Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor because the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which he or she shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, he or she is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the adjudicating court shall deem proper.

 

Section 145(g) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under Section 145 of the DGCL.

 

Our bylaws, subject to the provisions of the DGCL, contain provisions which allow the corporation to indemnify any person against liabilities and other expenses incurred as the result of defending or administering any pending or anticipated legal issue in connection with service to us if it is determined that person acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed was in the best interest of the corporation. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, 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 of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

As permitted by the DGCL, the registrant has entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of the registrant’s directors and certain of the registrant’s officers which require the registrant, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities which may arise by reason of their status as directors, officers or certain other employees.

 

The registrant expects to obtain and maintain insurance policies under which its directors and officers are insured, within the limits and subject to the limitations of those policies, against certain expenses in connection with the defense of, and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result of, actions, suits or proceedings to which they are parties by reason of being or having been directors or officers. The coverage provided by these policies may apply whether or not the registrant would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of the DGCL.

 

These indemnification provisions and the indemnification agreements entered into between the registrant and the registrant’s officers and directors may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the registrant’s officers and directors for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933.

Item 17. Undertakings

 

The Company hereby undertakes:

 

(a)(1)

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

 

	i.	To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
	ii.	To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
	iii.	To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;   provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii), and (1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

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

 

22

 

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

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

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or date of the first sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

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

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

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

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

(6) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

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