CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains statements that are forward-looking and as such are not historical facts. These statements are based on the expectations and beliefs of the management of the Company in light of historical results and trends, current conditions and potential future developments, and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include all statements other than historical fact, including statements about our future performance and opportunities; benefits of acquisitions and corporate transactions; statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; and statements regarding future economic conditions or performance. When used in this prospectus, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “strive,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, and include the assumptions that underlie such statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. When we discuss our strategies and/or plans, we are making projections, forecasts or forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on the beliefs of, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to, our management.

The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Company. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those that the Company has anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the inability to maintain the listing of the Company’s shares of Common Stock on Nasdaq; (2) the risk that the Company’s completed or proposed transactions disrupt the Company’s current plans and/or operations, including the risk that the Company does not complete any such proposed transactions or achieve the expected benefits from any transactions; (3) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of corporate transactions, commercial collaborations, commercialization of digital assets, cost reduction initiatives and proposed transactions, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the Company to grow and manage growth profitably, and the Company’s ability to retain its key employees; (4) costs related to being a public company, corporate transactions, commercial collaborations and proposed transactions; (5) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (6) the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by global hostilities, supply chain delays, inflation, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (7) risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information of the Company, including changes in the Company’s estimates of cash flows and the fair value of certain of its intangible assets, including goodwill; (8) risks related to the organic and inorganic growth of the Company’s businesses, and the timing of expected business milestones; (9) changing demand or shopping patterns for the Company’s products and services; (10) failure of licensees, suppliers or other third-parties to fulfill their obligations to the Company; (11) the Company’s ability to comply with the terms of its indebtedness and other obligations; (12) changes in financing markets or the inability of the Company to obtain financing on attractive terms; and (13) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, including those under “Item 1A: Risk Factors” therein, and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the Company’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive, and readers should not place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements included in this prospectus only as of the date of this prospectus or any earlier date specified for such statements. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as may be required under applicable law. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on the Company’s behalf are qualified in their entirety by this Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. Because it is a summary, it may not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our securities. To understand this offering fully, you should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the information set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” and our financial statements and related notes incorporated by reference herein, and the documents to which we have referred to in the “Incorporation by Reference” section below.

Company Overview

We are a global consumer lifestyle company. We market our Playboy brand through a wide range of licensing initiatives and digital subscriptions and content offerings. We primarily license the Playboy brand for consumer products, leveraging our Playboy archive and intellectual property assets built over more than 70 years, to allow fans and consumers to experience the Playboy lifestyle through apparel and other consumer products sold globally, as well as through collaborations with strategic partners in the nightlife, hospitality, and digital casino and online gaming industries. Our digital operations build upon our legacy in visual media and entertainment and includes our content creator platform on playboy.com (the “Playboy Club”), which lets customers interact directly with influencers and other creators that generate their own array of content, and Playboy programming distributed through various websites and domestic and international TV providers offering on-demand entertainment. We also own and operate the brand Honey Birdette, which specializes in luxury lingerie that is sold online and at physical stores in Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom.

Since becoming a publicly traded company in 2021, we have had three reportable segments: Licensing, Digital Subscriptions and Content, and Direct-to-Consumer. The Licensing segment derives revenue from trademark licenses for third-party consumer products, and online and location-based entertainment businesses. The Digital Subscriptions and Content segment derives revenue from the subscription of Playboy programming, which is distributed through various channels, including websites and domestic and international television, and sales of creator content offerings and memberships to consumers at the Playboy Club on playboy.com. The Direct-to-Consumer segment included our playboy.com e-commerce business (until it transitioned from an owned-and-operated model to a licensing model in the third quarter of 2023) and our former Yandy business (until it was sold in April 2023), our former Lovers business (until it was sold in November 2023) and our Honey Birdette business which was classified as held for sale in just the third quarter of 2024 while we explored strategic alternatives for it at that time.

Our Strategy

We aim to build the leading pleasure and leisure lifestyle platform. In 2021 and 2022, we expanded our licensing categories, and developed our digital capabilities, including launching our creator platform, which has become the Playboy Club. In 2023 and 2024, our commercial strategy transitioned to a more capital-light model focused on revenue streams with higher margin, lower working capital requirements and higher growth potential. We continue to pursue that strategy. We are doing this by leveraging our flagship Playboy brand to scale our digital content businesses and attract best-in-class strategic partners. We are focused on our two key growth pillars: first, investing in the Playboy digital platform as we return to our roots as a place to see and be seen for creators and up and coming cultural influencers; and second, strategically expanding our licensing business in key categories and territories. In December 2024, we entered into a long-term License & Management Agreement (the “LMA”) with Byborg Enterprises S.A. (“Byborg”), pursuant to which Byborg agreed to operate the Company’s Playboy Plus, Playboy TV (digital and linear) and Playboy Club businesses and to license the right to use certain Playboy trademarks and other intellectual property for related businesses and certain other categories. Under the terms of the LMA, Byborg was also granted exclusive rights to use Playboy trademarks for certain new adult content services and digital products to be developed. We will continue to use our licensing business as a marketing tool and brand builder, in particular through our high-end designer collaborations and our large-scale strategic partnerships.

Our Team

We seek to recruit, retain, and incentivize highly talented existing and future employees. We believe that creating a respectful and inclusive environment where team members can be themselves and be supported is critical to attracting, developing and retaining talent. A set of fundamental values guides our thinking and actions both inside the Company and as we pursue our mission through our interaction with our consumers and our partners around the world. We created these values with the goals of holding ourselves accountable, preserving what is special about Playboy, and inspiring and guiding ourselves to move forward as we grow and take on new challenges. We believe staying true to these values will drive the long-term value we create in consumers’ lives.

Intellectual Property

We own various trademarks, copyrights and software comprising our intellectual property holdings, including, without limitation, the “Playboy” name, the “RABBIT HEAD DESIGN” logo and the “Honey Birdette” name.

We currently have active trademark registrations in more than 150 countries for our key trademarks, including variations of the PLAYBOY and the RABBIT HEAD DESIGN logo, which are typically the core intellectual property we license pursuant to our licensing agreements and use on our branded consumer products. Trademark registrations typically allow us to exclusively use or permit licensed use of the marks in the product categories in which they are registered. These registrations are typically valid for 10 years from the original date of registration or the date of renewal. When these registrations become due for renewal, we typically renew them unless the registrations have become redundant due to overlapping coverage from other existing registered marks or they cover marks or categories that we no longer actively use or have plans to use in the future. Most jurisdictions allow for an unlimited number of renewals provided that the criteria to apply for renewal are met in the applicable jurisdiction.

Exchange Agreement and Issuance of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

On November 11, 2024, we entered into the Exchange Agreement with the Selling Stockholders and/or their affiliates. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, we issued to the Selling Stockholders and/or their affiliates an aggregate of 28,000.00001 shares of new Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, as consideration in exchange for approximately $6.4 million of Tranche A Loans and approximately $58.9 million of Tranche B Loans under (and as defined in, and thereby reducing the outstanding amounts of such loans under) the A&R Credit Agreement. On January 29, 2025, we completed the conversion of 7,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock then-held by the Selling Stockholders into 3,784,688 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.84956 per share. Absent an Event of Default (as defined herein), the 25,494,268 Resale Shares covered by this prospectus represent the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of the date of this prospectus could be converted into at the end of the term of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, assuming that all dividends accrue in-kind through the maturity of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the minimum conversion price of $1.50 per share of Common Stock, and the outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are converted by the Company in full on one occasion and any fractional shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to a Selling Stockholder thereupon are rounded up to the nearest whole share,together with shares of Common Stock held by the Selling Stockholders as of the date of the Exchange Agreement, and the shares of Common Stock issued to the Selling Stockholders as of the completion of the partial conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock on January 29, 2025. Under the terms of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company may not effect a conversion of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock to the extent that, following such conversion the applicable holder (together with its affiliates and any other person or entity acting as a group together with such holder or any of its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (in the case of a partial conversion, absent the prior written consent of such holder) or 19.9% (in the case of a full conversion of all Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or in the case of a partial conversion, with the prior written consent of such holder) (such limitations, collectively, the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”).

The offer and sale of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock through the Exchange Agreement was made as a private placement in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof. Any shares of Common Stock payable as dividends on Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or issuable upon conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.

You should carefully review the risk factors contained under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and any risk factors that we may describe in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K filed subsequently to the Annual Report on Form 10-K, which risk factors are incorporated by reference in this prospectus, the information contained under the heading “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this prospectus or under any similar heading in any document incorporated herein by reference, any specific risk factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in any subsequent prospectus supplement or in any document incorporated herein by reference and the other information contained in, or incorporated by reference in, this prospectus before making an investment decision. The risks and uncertainties described in our SEC filings are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently see as immaterial, may also harm our business. If any such risks and uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects could be materially and adversely affected, the market price of our Common Stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. See “Incorporation by Reference” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Risks Related to the Resale Shares and Ownership of Our Common Stock

The Selling Stockholders may choose to sell the Resale Shares at prices below the current market price.

The Selling Stockholders are not restricted as to the prices at which they may sell or otherwise dispose of the Resale Shares covered by this prospectus. Sales or other dispositions of the Resale Shares below the then-current market prices could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

A large number of shares of Common Stock may be sold in the market following this offering and upon the SEC declaring this registration statement on Form S-3 effective, which may significantly depress the market price of our Common Stock.

The Resale Shares sold in the offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, upon the SEC declaring this registration statement on Form S-3 effective. As a result, a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may be sold in the public market following this offering and upon the SEC declaring this registration statement effective.

If there are significantly more shares of Common Stock offered for sale than buyers are willing to purchase, then the market price of our Common Stock may decline to a market price at which buyers are willing to purchase the offered Common Stock and sellers remain willing to sell our Common Stock. Sales of a substantial number of Resale Shares in the public market following the completion of this offering, or the perception that such sales might occur, could depress the market price of our Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of our additional equity securities.

You may experience future dilution as a result of the issuance of the Resale Shares, future equity offerings by us and other issuances of our Common Stock (including our potential issuance of Common Stock to Byborg) or other securities. In addition, the issuance of the Resale Shares and future equity offerings and other issuances of our Common Stock or other securities may adversely affect our Common Stock price.

In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Common Stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share for prior issuances of Common Stock. We may not be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share previously paid by investors, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the prices per share for previous issuances of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock paid by certain investors. You will incur dilution upon exercise of any outstanding stock options or warrants or upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock in accordance with our equity incentive plans or upon issuance of Common Stock to Byborg under the Securities Purchase Agreement,

dated December 14, 2024, between the Company and The Million S.a.r.l., a subsidiary of Byborg. In addition, the issuance of the Resale Shares and any future sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the price of our Common Stock. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares of Common Stock or the availability of such shares for sale will have on the market price of our Common Stock.

The number of shares of Common Stock being registered for sale upon conversion of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is significant in relation to the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock.

We have filed a registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to register the Resale Shares offered hereunder for sale into the public market by the Selling Stockholders. Upon effectiveness of the registration statement, 25,494,268 Resale Shares registered hereunder may be resold in the public market immediately without restriction. These shares represent a large number of shares of our Common Stock and, if sold in the market all at once or at about the same time, could depress the market price of our Common Stock during the period the registration statement remains effective and could also affect our ability to raise equity capital.

The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference senior to our Common Stock.

The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference payable prior to payment on our Common Stock with respect to distributions on any liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company. Such liquidation preference would only be payable in such event with respect to Series B Convertible Preferred Stock that was not previously converted into Common Stock (which would constitute Resale Shares under this prospectus), and any converted Common Stock would not be entitled to the liquidation preference of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The payment of the liquidation preference could result in any Common Stock holders not receiving any consideration if we were to liquidate, dissolve or wind up, either voluntarily or involuntarily.

EXCHANGE AGREEMENT AND ISSUANCE OF SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

On November 11, 2024, the Company entered into the Exchange Agreement with the Selling Stockholders and/or their affiliates. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued to the Selling Stockholders and/or their affiliates an aggregate of 28,000.00001 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, as consideration in exchange for approximately $6.4 million of Tranche A Loans and approximately $58.9 million of Tranche B Loans under (and as defined in, and thereby reducing the outstanding amounts of such loans under) the A&R Credit Agreement, by and among the Borrower, the Company, as guarantor, and other parties thereto. The Exchange Agreement contained customary representations, warranties and covenants. The issuance of 28,000.00001 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock under the Exchange Agreement was completed on November 13, 2024 (the “Closing”). On January 29, 2025, the Company completed the conversion of 7,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock then-held by the Selling Stockholders into 3,784,688 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.84956 per share. As of January 31, 2025, 21,000.00001 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.

The offer and sale of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock through the Exchange Agreement was made as a private placement in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof. Any shares of Common Stock payable as dividends on Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or issuable upon conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.

The powers, designations, preferences and other rights of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are set forth in the Certificate of Designation establishing the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, filed by the Company with the Delaware Secretary of State on November 13, 2024, in connection with the Closing.

The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior and in priority of payment to the Common Stock, with respect to distributions on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution. Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference equal to the sum of (i) $1,000 (the “Stated Value”) and (ii) all accumulated and unpaid dividends (the sum of (i) and (ii), the “Liquidation Preference”).

Commencing May 13, 2025, holders of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends on such shares (the “Preferred Dividends”). With respect to each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, such Preferred Dividends will accrue daily at a rate of 12.0% per annum (the “Dividend Rate”) on the Stated Value of such share, and will either be payable quarterly in arrears in cash at the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), or automatically accrue by increasing the Stated Value of such share and compound quarterly in arrears. In the event of an Event of Default (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), the Dividend Rate will increase by 2.0% per annum for so long as such Event of Default is continuing.

Absent an Event of Default (as defined herein), the 25,494,268 Resale Shares covered by this prospectus represent the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of the date of this prospectus could be converted into at the end of the term of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, assuming that all dividends accrue in-kind through the maturity of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the minimum conversion price of $1.50 per share of Common Stock, and the outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are converted by the Company in full on one occasion and any fractional shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to a Selling Stockholder thereupon are rounded up to the nearest whole share together with shares of Common Stock held by the Selling Stockholders as of the date of the Exchange Agreement and the shares of Common Stock issued to the Selling Stockholders upon the completion of the partial conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock on January 29, 2025.

Holders of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are also entitled, in certain circumstances set forth in the Certificate of Designation, to receive distributions in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of any Common Stock of the Company (the “Participating Dividends”). With respect to each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the Participating Dividends will be paid as if such share were to be converted into a share of Common Stock at the Conversion Price (as defined below) as of the date of payment of the underlying distribution to the holders of Common Stock.

The Company may, in its sole discretion, effect a conversion of all or a portion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock according to the terms set forth in the Certificate of Designation, at the Conversion Price, provided that, on the date of delivery of a conversion notice, the Average Price (as defined below) of such Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is at least $1.50. “Conversion Price” means, with respect to each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, (i) if the average of the volume-weighted average price per share of Common Stock over the five-day trading period prior to the delivery of conversion notice (the “Average Price”) is equal to $1.50, then $1.50; (ii) if the Average Price is greater than $1.50 but less than $4.50, then the Average Price; and (iii) if the Average Price is equal to or greater than $4.50, then $4.50. However, any conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, which prohibits the Company from effecting a conversion of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of a holder into shares of Common Stock to the extent that, following such conversion the applicable holder (together with its affiliates and any other person or entity acting as a group together with such holder or any of its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (in the case of a partial conversion, absent the prior written consent of such holder) or 19.9% (in the case of a full conversion of all Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or in the case of a partial conversion, with the prior written consent of such holder.

At any time, the Company has the right, at its option, to redeem, in whole or in part, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for cash. The Company will be required to redeem for cash any then-outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in full on December 31, 2027, or upon certain changes of control of the Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Certificate of Designation.

The redemption price will be equal to (i) in the event of a voluntary redemption, the aggregate Liquidation Preference of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock being redeemed, and (ii) in the event of a mandatory redemption, the greater of (a) the Liquidation Preference of such shares and (b) the Average Price of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a number of shares Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which number is equal to the quotient of the Conversion Price of such shares (as if the redemption of such shares were a conversion thereof) divided by $1.50; provided, however, if the mandatory redemption is triggered by a change of control event and the obligations under the A&R Credit Agreement have been paid in full, then the redemption price will be an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference.

Holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will generally not be entitled to vote on any matter required or permitted to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Company. However, certain matters will require the approval of the holders of not less than the majority of the aggregate Liquidation Preference of the outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, including (1) certain business activities of the Company, (2) certain amendments to the organizational documents of the Company, (3) the incurrence or issuance by the Company of certain indebtedness or shares of senior equity securities, (4) any change to the authorized number of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shares or (5) taking any action to effect any voluntary deregistration of the Common Stock or any voluntary delisting with Nasdaq of the Common Stock, in each case subject to certain conditions and exceptions.

Holders who each hold Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with aggregate Liquidation Preference in excess of $1 million are entitled to certain customary information rights. Holders of at least 50% of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding are entitled to designate one individual as a non-voting observer to the Board.

In connection with entering into the Exchange Agreement, the Company and the Selling Stockholders entered into the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file, within 75 days of the Closing, a registration statement with respect to the resale of (i) any shares of Common Stock that such Selling Stockholders have acquired or have the right to acquire upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, (ii) any other equity security of the Company issued or issuable with respect to any such shares of Common Stock by way of a stock dividend or stock split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or reorganization and (iii) any shares of Common Stock otherwise held by such Selling Stockholders as of the Closing. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such resale registration statement to be declared effective 105 days after the Closing, subject to certain exceptions. The Registration Rights Agreement provides for certain additional underwritten demand rights and “piggy-back” registration rights, subject to certain requirements and conditions.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The shares of Common Stock being offered by the Selling Stockholders consist of the Resale Shares issuable upon conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, together with shares of Common Stock held by the Selling Stockholders as of the date of the Exchange Agreement. For additional information regarding the issuance of these securities, see “Exchange Agreement and Issuance of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock” beginning on page 7 of this prospectus. We are registering the resale of the Resale Shares in order to permit the Selling Stockholders to offer and sell such shares of Common Stock for resale from time to time on a registered basis. Except for the Exchange Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement described in the section entitled “Exchange Agreement and Issuance of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock”, and as disclosed in this section under “Material Relationships with Selling Stockholders” and in our SEC filings incorporated by reference herein, the Selling Stockholders have not had any material relationship with us or our affiliates within the past three years.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to each Selling Stockholder, including (i) the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholder prior to this offering, (ii) the number of Resale Shares being offered by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to this prospectus and (iii) the Selling Stockholder’s beneficial and percentage ownership of our outstanding shares of Common Stock after completion of this offering. The registration of the Resale Shares issuable to the Selling Stockholders upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock does not necessarily mean that the Selling Stockholders will sell all or any of such Resale Shares, but the number of shares of Common Stock and percentages set forth in the final two columns below assume that all Resale Shares being offered by the Selling Stockholders are sold. The number of Resale Shares for each Selling Stockholder represents the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by such Selling Stockholder as of the date of this prospectus could be converted into at the end of the term of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, assuming that all dividends accrue in-kind through the maturity of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the Conversion Price is the minimum possible Conversion Price of $1.50, no Event of Default occurs prior to conversion and the outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are converted by the Company in full on one occasion and any fractional shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to a Selling Stockholder thereupon are rounded up to the nearest whole share, together with shares of Common Stock held by the Selling Stockholders as of the date of the Exchange Agreement, and the shares of Common Stock issued to the Selling Stockholders as of the completion of the partial conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock on January 29, 2025. The final two columns also assume, as of January 31, 2025, the full conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of the date of this prospectus, without regard to any limitations on conversion (including the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). See “Plan of Distribution.”

The table below is based on certain information supplied to us by the Selling Stockholders, with beneficial ownership and percentage ownership determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, and includes voting or investment power with respect to shares of Common Stock. This information does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. In computing the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a Selling Stockholder and the percentage ownership of that Selling Stockholder, shares of Common Stock subject to securities held by that Selling Stockholder that are exercisable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock within 60 days after January 31, 2025 are deemed outstanding. Such shares of Common Stock, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other stockholder.

Material Relationships with Selling Stockholders

Except as disclosed in this section, the section entitled “Exchange Agreement and Issuance of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock” and in our SEC filings incorporated by reference herein, no material relationships exist between any of the Selling Stockholders and us, nor have any such material relationships existed within the past three years.

On May 10, 2023 (the “Restatement Date”), we entered into the A&R Credit Agreement of our prior credit agreement (the “2021 Credit Agreement”) to reduce the interest rate applicable to our senior secured debt and the implied interest rate on our Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), exchange (and thereby eliminate) our then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, and obtain additional covenant relief and funding. For the terms of the 2021 Credit Agreement, as amended, refer to Note 10, Debt, within the notes to our consolidated financial statements set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024.

In connection with the A&R Credit Agreement, Fortress Credit Corp. and its affiliates (together, “Fortress”) became our lender with respect to approximately 90% of the term loans under the A&R Credit Agreement (the “A&R Term Loans”). Fortress exchanged 50,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock (representing all of our then issued and outstanding preferred stock) for approximately $53.6 million of the A&R Term Loans, and we obtained approximately $11.8 million of additional funding as part of the A&R Term Loans. As a result, our Series A Preferred Stock was eliminated, and the principal balance of the A&R Term Loans under the A&R Credit Agreement became approximately $210.0 million on the Restatement Date.

In July 2023, DBD Credit Funding LLC, an affiliate of Fortress, became the administrative agent and collateral agent under the A&R Credit Agreement.

On November 11, 2024 we entered into an amendment to the A&R Credit Agreement, which, among other things, provided for a reduction in the outstanding principal amount of Tranche A Loans and Tranche B Loans (each as defined in the A&R Credit Agreement) to approximately $153,061,216 in the aggregate in exchange for 28,000.00001 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, as described in the section titled “Exchange Agreement and Issuance of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.”

For a description of the terms of the A&R Credit Agreement please refer to Note 10, Debt and Note 18, Subsequent Events, within the notes to our consolidated financial statements set forth in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 filed with the SEC on November 12, 2024 and our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 14, 2024.

In addition, if the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock owned by the Selling Stockholders were to be fully converted into Common Stock at the minimum price of $1.50 per share, the Selling Stockholders, as a group, could become a significant stockholder of the Company (subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation described in this prospectus).

USE OF PROCEEDS

The Selling Stockholders will receive all of the proceeds from the sale of the Resale Shares under this prospectus and we will not receive any of such proceeds. The Selling Stockholders will pay or assume discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers or dealer managers that they incur in disposing of the Resale Shares. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the Resale Shares covered by this prospectus and any prospectus supplement. These may include, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws. We cannot predict when, if or to what extent the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will be converted into Common Stock by the Company, and it is possible that the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock may never be converted by the Company.

Common Stock

Ranking

The voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of our Common Stock are subject to and qualified by the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock of any series as may be designated by the Board upon any issuance of the Preferred Stock of any series.

Voting

Except as otherwise required by law or our Certificate of Incorporation, each holder of record of Common Stock, as such, shall have one vote for each share of Common Stock which is outstanding in his, her or its name on the books of the Company on all matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote generally. Except as otherwise required by law or our Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation), the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and for all other purposes. Notwithstanding any other provision of our Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, the holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation) or the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”).

Dividends

Subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock, holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends and distributions and other distributions in cash, stock or property of the Company when, as and if declared thereon by the Board from time to time out of assets or funds of the Company legally available therefor.

Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up

Subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock, shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive the assets and funds of the Company available for distribution in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary. A liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, as such terms are used in Section B(4) of our Certificate of Incorporation, shall not be deemed to be occasioned by or to include any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other person or a sale, lease, exchange or conveyance of all or a part of its assets.

No Preemptive, Conversion or Redemption Rights

The holders of shares of Common Stock have no preemptive rights and no right to convert their Common Stock into other securities. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our Common Stock under the Company’s existing Certificate of Incorporation or its Bylaws.

Preferred Stock

Issuance of Preferred Stock

Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board is authorized to provide by resolution or resolutions from time to time for the issuance, out of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock, of one or more series of Preferred Stock, without stockholder approval, by filing a certificate pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Delaware (a “Preferred Stock Designation”), setting forth such resolution and, with respect to each such series, establishing the number of shares to be included in such series, and fixing the voting powers, full or limited, or no voting power of the shares of such series, and the designation, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, if any, of the shares of each such series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. The powers, designation, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding. The authority of the Board with respect to each series of Preferred Stock shall include, but not be limited to, the determination of the following:

•the designation of the series, which may be by distinguishing number, letter or title;

•the number of shares of the series, which number the Board may thereafter (except where otherwise provided in the Preferred Stock Designation) increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding);

•the amounts or rates at which dividends will be payable on, and the preferences, if any, of, shares of the series in respect of dividends, and whether such dividends, if any, shall be cumulative or noncumulative;

•the dates on which dividends, if any, shall be payable; the redemption rights and price or prices, if any, for shares of the series;

•the terms and amount of any sinking fund, if any, provided for the purchase or redemption of shares of the series;

•the amounts payable on, and the preferences, if any, of, shares of the series in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company;

•whether the shares of the series shall be convertible into or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or series, or any other security, of the Company or any other corporation, and, if so, the specification of such other class or series or such other security, the conversion or exchange price or prices or rate or rates, any adjustments thereof, the date or dates at which such shares shall be convertible or exchangeable and all other terms and conditions upon which such conversion or exchange may be made;

•restrictions on the issuance of shares of the same series or any other class or series;

•the voting rights, if any, of the holders of shares of the series generally or upon specified events; and

•any other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such shares, all as may be determined from time to time by the Board and stated in the Preferred Stock Designation for such Preferred Stock.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Preferred Stock Designation of any series of Preferred Stock may provide that such series shall be superior or rank equally or be junior to any other series of Preferred Stock to the extent permitted by law.

On November 13, 2024, the Company issued 28,000.00001 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock as described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 14, 2024, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus. On January 29, 2025, the Company completed the conversion of 7,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock then-held by the Selling Stockholders into 3,784,688 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.84956 per share. As of January 31, 2025, 21,000.00001 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

The Company has expressly opted out of Section 203 of the DGCL. However, our Certificate of Incorporation contains similar provisions providing that the Company may not engage in certain “business combinations” with any “interested stockholder” for a three-year period following the time that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

•prior to such time, the 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 Company outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned by (a) persons who are directors and also officers and (b) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

•at or subsequent to such time, the business combination is approved by the Board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale or certain other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with that person’s affiliates, owns or within the previous three years owned, 15% or more of the Company’s voting stock.

Under certain circumstances, this provision will make it more difficult for a person who would be an “interested stockholder” to effect various business combinations with a corporation for a three-year period. This provision may encourage companies interested in acquiring the Company to negotiate in advance with the Company’s Board because the Company’s stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if the Company’s Board approves either the business combination or the transaction which results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. These provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in the Company’s Board and may make it more difficult to accomplish transactions which stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that RT-ICON and its affiliates, any of its respective direct or indirect transferees of at least 15% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, and any group as to which such persons are a part, do not constitute “interested stockholders” for purposes of this provision.

In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. The Company’s Board is empowered to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the Board or the resignation, death or removal of a director in certain circumstances.

Authorized shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock are available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved Common Stock and Preferred Stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Special Meeting, Action by Written Consent and Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals

Except as otherwise required by law, our Certificate of Incorporation or our Bylaws, written or printed notice of the meeting of the stockholders stating the place, day and hour of the meeting and, in case of a special meeting, stating the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, and in case of a meeting held by remote communication stating such means, shall be delivered not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting, either personally, or by mail, or if prior consent has been received by a stockholder by electronic transmission, by or at the direction of the Chairman or the President, the Secretary, or the persons calling the meeting, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given to stockholders, any notice shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to (in a manner consistent with the DGCL) by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. If notice is given by mail, such notice shall be deemed given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Company. If notice is given by electronic transmission, such notice shall be deemed given at the time specified in Section 232 of the DGCL.

Our Bylaws also provide that unless otherwise restricted by our Certificate of Incorporation or our Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of our Board or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if all members of our Board or of such committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of our Board or committee.

In addition, our Bylaws require advance notice procedures for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of the stockholders, including the nomination of directors. Stockholders at an annual meeting may only consider the proposals specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board, or by a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has delivered a timely written notice in proper form to our secretary, of the stockholder’s intention to bring such business before the meeting.

These provisions could have the effect of delaying until the next stockholder meeting any stockholder actions, even if they are favored by the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities.

Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that so long as RT-ICON and its affiliates own, in the aggregate, at least 50% in voting power of our Common Stock, any amendment, alteration, change, addition, or repeal of our Certificate of Incorporation requires an affirmative vote of a majority of the then- outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote thereon. At any time when RT-ICON and its affiliates beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 50% of our outstanding Common Stock, our Certificate of Incorporation requires the affirmative vote by the holders of at least 66 2/3% of our outstanding Common Stock for any amendment, alteration, change, addition, or repeal of our Certificate of Incorporation; provided that, irrespective of RT-ICON ownership, the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66 2/3% of our outstanding Common Stock is required to amend certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, including those provisions changing the size of the Board, the removal of certain directors, the availability of action by majority written consent of the stockholders or the restriction on business combinations with interest stockholders, among others.

The provisions of the DGCL, our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting hostile takeovers and, as a consequence, they may also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market price of our Common Stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in our management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

Exclusive Forum

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will, with certain limited exceptions, be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including any beneficial owner) to bring (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim against the Company, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the charter or bylaws, or (d) any action asserting a claim against the Company, its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Subject to the provisions in the preceding sentence, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint, claim or proceeding asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or the Securities Act. Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Stockholders cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the forum provisions in Certificate of Incorporation.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties, subject to certain exceptions. Our Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, eliminates the personal liability of directors to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director. The effect of these provisions will be to eliminate the rights of us and our stockholders, through stockholders’ derivative suits on our behalf, to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, including breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior. However, exculpation will not apply to any director if the director has acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized illegal dividends or redemptions or derived an improper benefit from his or her actions as a director.

Further, our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws provide that we must indemnify and advance expenses to our directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. We also are expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing indemnification for our directors, officers and certain employees for some liabilities. We believe that these indemnification and advancement provisions and insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and officers.

The limitation of liability, indemnification and advancement provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

Registration Rights

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is obligated to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the Resale Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, together with shares of Common Stock held by the Selling Stockholders as of the date of the Exchange Agreement, and to ensure such registration statement is declared effective. In order to satisfy such obligations, the Company is filing this registration statement to register for resale all of the Resale Shares. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Selling Stockholders are also entitled to certain demand and piggyback registration rights.

In addition to the Registration Rights Agreement, certain other stockholders (besides the Selling Stockholders) or their permitted transferees, are entitled to rights with respect to the registration of certain shares of Common Stock held by them under the Securities Act. These rights are provided under the terms of registration rights agreements between us and such stockholders (the “Other Registration Rights Agreements”) and include demand registration rights and piggyback registration rights. The Other Registration Rights Agreements also provide that we will pay certain expenses of these holders relating to such registrations and indemnify them against certain liabilities which may arise under the Securities Act.

Transfer Agent

The transfer agent for our Common Stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

Listing of Common Stock

Our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “PLBY.”

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 the principal trading market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or otherwise, or in negotiated or private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. 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;

•through one or more underwritten offerings on a firm commitment or best efforts basis;

•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, swaps or other hedging or derivative 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.

The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the Resale Shares in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees, or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus and may sell the shares of Resale Shares from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed a supplement to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act supplementing or amending the list of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders 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.

Each Selling Stockholder may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock it owns and, if it defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, which adds the pledgee, assignee, transferee or other successors in interest as a Selling Stockholder under this prospectus.

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 this prospectus effective until (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covered by this prospectus have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in this prospectus and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by this prospectus have ceased to be Registrable Securities. 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 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 Resale Shares 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).

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was, is or is threatened to be made, party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that their conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who were or are a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests; provided that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer, director, employee or agent is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify such officer or director against the expenses which such officer or director has actually and reasonably incurred.

Section 145 further authorizes a corporation to 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 or enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of their status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify such person under Section 145.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL allows a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation will not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached the duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit.

II-1

Our Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of, and indemnifies, its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL. Our Certification of Incorporation further provides that an indemnified person is entitled, subject to certain limitations, to advancement, direct payment, or reimbursement of reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers. These indemnification agreements, among other things, require us to indemnify our directors and officers for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and settlements incurred by a director or officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of our directors or officers or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services as our request. The form of Indemnification Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.26 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 16, 2021.

We have also obtained insurance policies under which, subject to the limitations of the policies, our directors and officers are insured against liability for actions taken in their capacity as directors and officers. We also maintain a general liability insurance policy, which covers certain liabilities of directors and officers.

Our Bylaws include the provisions relating to advancement of expenses and indemnification rights consistent with those set forth in our Certificate of Incorporation. In addition, our Bylaws provide for a right of indemnity to bring a suit in the event a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses is not paid in full by us within a specified period of time. Our Bylaws also permit us to purchase and maintain insurance, at our expense, to protect us and/or any director, officer, employee or agent of ours or another entity, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

Our Bylaws include the provisions relating to advancement of expenses and indemnification rights consistent with those set forth in our Certificate of Incorporation. In addition, our bylaws provide for a right of indemnity to bring a suit in the event a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses is not paid in full by us within a specified period of time. Our bylaws also permit us to purchase and maintain insurance, at our expense, to protect us and/or any director, officer, employee or agent of our corporation or another entity, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

Any repeal or amendment of provisions of our bylaws affecting indemnification rights, whether by our Board, stockholders or by changes in applicable law, or the adoption of any other provisions inconsistent therewith, will (unless otherwise required by law) be prospective only, except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits us to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis, and will not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing thereunder with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

Item 17. Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

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

i.To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act 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 SEC 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 Filing Fee Tables” or “Calculation of Registration Fee” table, as applicable, 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 the undertakings set forth in 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 SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this 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.

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

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

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, as amended, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the

II-4

registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; and

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

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

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

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

iii.The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about 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, as amended, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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, as amended) 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 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 SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
