47、ativeEyewear”and“our business”refer to Innovative Eyewear,Inc.Our Company We develop and sell smart eyeglasses and sunglasses,which are designed to allow our customers to remain connected to theirdigital lives,while also offering prescription eyewear and sun protection.Founded and headquartered in M
48、iami,Florida,wewere initially organized as a Florida limited liability company effective August 15,2019.We were founded by Lucyd Ltd.,theinventor and licensor of the technology that our products are based upon,which is a portfolio company of Tekcapital Europe Ltd.(“Tekcapital”).Tekcapital is a U.K.b
49、ased university intellectual property accelerator which builds portfolio companies aroundnew technologies.On March 26,2020,we converted from a Florida limited liability company into a Florida corporation.Our smart eyewear products enable the wearer to listen to music,take and make calls,and use voic
50、e assistants and ChatGPT toperform many common smartphone tasks hands-free.Since the official launch of our first commercial product,our goal has beento create smart eyewear for all-day wear that looks like and is priced similarly to designer eyewear,but is also lightweight andcomfortable,and enable
51、s the wearer to remain connected to their digital lives.Through our various product offerings asdescribed below,we have created a smart upgrade for all four of the major types of eyewear:prescription eyeglasses,ready-to-wear sunglasses,safety glasses,and sport glasses.Our core product line,Lucyd Lyt
52、e(which includes the Lyte XL units),was first introduced in 2021 and continues togrow and expand with the ongoing addition of new styles and multiple technological upgrades and advancements.TheCompany is continuously iterating and improving its frame lineup,offering a mixture of“Lucyd icons”(styles
53、that haveconsistently performed well since the introduction of Lucyd Lyte)and new styles seasonally to align with market trendsand evolving consumer demand.We currently offer 13 different models under the Lucyd Lyte collection.In January 2024,we launched the Nautica Powered by Lucyd smart eyewear co
54、llection in eight different styles,alongwith various branded accessories including a power brick,cleaning cloth,and a slipcase adorned with the iconicNautica sail logo.This collection introduced the Companys first“global fit”style,which supports low nose bridgecustomers.In April 2024,we launched the
55、 Eddie Bauer Powered by Lucyd smart eyewear collection in four different styles,which showcases the first-to-market rimless smart eyewear design.We believe the Eddie Bauer collection is theCompanys most premium product to date,and features brushed titanium hardware,improved sound quality,andincludes
56、 the patent-pending Lucyd dock with every unit.12025/5/10 23:44sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1808377/000182912625003518/innovativeeye_s1.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1808377/000182912625003518/innovativeeye_s1.htm7/40Table of Contents In October 2024,we launched the Lucyd Armor line,an AN
57、SI-certified smart safety glass designed for all-day wear.This product line provides all the powerful features of Lucyd eyewear in a stylish safety wrap.Lucyd Armor smartsafety glasses have been certified to meet safety standards in the U.S.,Canada,United Kingdom,and European Union.In April 2025,we
58、launched the Reebok Powered by Lucyd sport smart sunglasses collection in eight different styles.This collection features custom high-fidelity speakers,powerful amplifiers,and equalizers specifically tuned foroutdoor activities and sports environments.We plan to launch the Reebok Powered by Lucyd pr
59、emium optical collection in the fourth quarter of 2025.Our current product offering consists of 34 different models,which offers a similar amount of style variety as many traditionaleyewear collections.All styles are each available with 100+different lens types,resulting in thousands of variations o
60、f productscurrently available.We believe our brand partnerships play a significant role in our revenue growth by offering a morediversified product line that speaks to consumers from different demographics(for example,Nautica generally appeals to amore fashion-forward customer than Lucyd Lyte,while
61、Eddie Bauergenerally appeals to an older demographic than our otherlines,and Reebok generally appeals to a younger,more active and athletic demographic than our other lines).Some of the many things our customers can do with their Lucyd smartglasses include:1.“Send a voice message to(contact)”:this c
62、ommand begins the recording of an audio message to be sent to namedcontact.2.“Send a text to(contact)”:begins recording of a speech-to-text message to be sent by SMS to named contact.3.“Call(contact)”:speed-dials the named contact.4.“Send$_ to(contact)”:this command allows our user to send money to
63、a contact via Venmo or Apple Pay.Followthe digital assistants prompts to confirm.5.“Check my messages”:this command reads out our users latest incoming text messages and offers a prompt to reply toeach.Close out the digital assistant to end the readout.6.“Check my mailbox”:this command announces the
64、 number of unread emails,and reads them out with a prompt tocontinue after each one.In the prompt after each one,our customers can tell their digital assistant“Reply”and dictatean email response to the previous email.7.“Find(cuisine type)food nearby”:this command reads through a list of nearby resta
65、urants and their ratings,andprompts our user for directions or to call after each one.8.“Call me an Uber”:this command prompts the user on which type of Uber ride they want,then asks to confirm to senda car to our users location.9.“What time is it?”:announces the current time.10.“Play(song/album/art
66、ist)”:this command begins playing the requested song,album,or artist via Apple Music.11.“Get me directions to(location)”:this command begins navigating on phone,with audible directions on glasses.12.“Take a memo”:this command begins recording a speech-to-text memo in Notes.Say“Read my Notes”to play

68、t the United States andhave sold thousands of our smart glasses.We believe smart eyewear is a product category whose time has come,and we believewe are well positioned to capitalize on and help develop this exciting new sector where eyewear meets electronics in a user-friendly,mass market format,pri
69、ced similarly to designer eyewear.The Company currently has 115 patents and applications,44 of which were licensed from Lucyd Ltd.,25 assigned directly toInnovative Eyewear,and 46 licensed from Ingeniospec.In April 2023,we introduced a major software upgrade for our glasses with the launch of the Lu
70、cyd app for iOS and Android.This free application enables the user to converse with the extremely popular ChatGPT AI language model on our glasses,toinstantly gain the benefit of one of the worlds most powerful AI assistants in a hands-free ergonomic interface.The app deploysa powerful and unique Si
71、ri integration with the Open AI API for ChatGPT,as well as a Bixby integration for Samsung phones,developed internally by the Company.The Company has filed a patent application related to this software.In 2024,we added a“Pro”version of the app,which provides unlimited ChatGPT interactions and priori
72、ty tech support for amodest monthly or annual fee.This is a new revenue stream for our business,and represents our first diversification in productrevenue from frames and lenses.In 2024,we also launched a new feature called“Walkie”for the Lucyd app,which enablesthousands of users to join each other
73、on walkie-talkie style communication channels.This feature was designed with our LucydArmor smart safety glass product in mind,to enable coworking teams to communicate freely on smart eyewear.In February 2025,we updated the Lucyd apps Walkie feature,enabling premium subscribers access to secure and
74、private walkiechannels,providing businesses and organizations with a powerful tool to communicate confidentially and seamlessly throughLucyd smart eyewear.We plan to launch more new features for the Lucyd app in the future,such as an audio equalizer enablingthe user to optimize sound output for diff
75、erent types of content such as calls and podcasts,and touch control customizations.We believe these developments make our Lucyd eyewear perhaps the smartest smartglasses available today,and represent asignificant marketing opportunity for our core smartglass products.A large part of our strategy is
76、not just to provide a leading smart eyewear platform,but to build a highly functional mobilesoftware and interactive retail fixture ecosystem to support user adoption and“stickiness”with our products.We haveengineered and provided a variety of virtual try-on kiosks,modular display systems,and intera
77、ctive LCD fixtures to fit any retailenvironment.These devices introduce our products to prospective retail customers and enable them to digitally try-on our line ofsmart glasses in a touch-free manner.Many of our retail fixtures allow for customization to suit our retail store partners needs,and the
78、 most recently developed fixtures feature a proprietary kiosk app we recently developed in-house.Our most advanceddisplays offer a complete Lucyd experience,including virtual try-on,social media content,detailed product info and videos,andseamless music demos which overall provide an immersive onboa
79、rding experience for prospective customers in retail storescarrying our frames.Our Market Opportunity One of our key opportunities is converting traditional eyeglass and sunglass wearers to smart eyewear consumers since thesecustomers are already familiar with wearing optical products.According to a
80、 2021 report of the Vision Council,a non-profittrade association that serves member companies of the optical industry,there are approximately 167 million adults wearingprescription eyeglasses in the United States.According to the Vision Council,the total addressable market for eyewear in the U.S.was
81、$68 billion in 2024,growing at about2.7%from 2023.The smartglass market size was estimated at$1.9 billion worldwide in 2024,and is expected to grow at acompounded annual growth rate of 27%from 2025 to 2030 according to Grand View Research.32025/5/10 23:44sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1808377/000182912
82、625003518/innovativeeye_s1.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1808377/000182912625003518/innovativeeye_s1.htm9/40Table of Contents At the same time,the market for digital assistants like Siri,Google Voice,Bixby and Alexa has grown rapidly worldwide inrecent years,estimated at over 8 billion v
83、oice assistant-enabled devices in use in 2024,doubling the amount from 2020 andindicating strong proliferation of voice-controlled devices.We view the popularity of voice assistants as an important catalyst forthe smart eyewear market,since hands-free access to voice-based AI is a notable feature th
84、ereof and a key advantage of ourproducts over standalone smartphone usage.The common denominator among markets for the hearables and digital assistants is that they facilitate real-time access to digitaldata,whether it is through music,calls,navigational directions,or information,among other uses.Th
85、e combination of hearablesand digital assistants provides a transparent,ergonomic interface between the users and their digital lives.At InnovativeEyewear,we are dedicated to a touch-free interface and untethering our customers eyes from their smartphone screens,throughour smart eyewear product.The
86、synergistic fusion of these three markets(eyewear,digital assistants,and hearables)enables,in our view,an opportunity tocreate a completely new experience of connected eyewear,which smoothly delivers the functionality of both optical glasses andheadphones,eliminating the need for either on its own.N
87、evertheless,several orthodoxies of the eyewear industry still hold,namely:if you want to sell a lot of eyewear,we believe it should be attractive,stylish,comfortable(e.g.,lightweight,which webelieve to be approximately one ounce)and cost roughly the same as traditional eyewear.This is what we have s
88、ought toachieve,and in our view have accomplished with the introduction of Lucyd Lyte eyewear.A key indicator of the potential future success of smart eyewear in the consumer market is the rise of smartwatches,which asearly as 2018 have intermittently surpassed traditional wristwatches in unit sales
89、 in the United States.We believe that thesimilarities between smartwatches and smart eyewear compared to their traditional counterparts indicate that the future ofeyewear will also be smart.Our Business Strategy When we initially organized Innovative Eyewear four years ago,there was,in our view,no a
90、ttractive smart eyewear thataddressed the basic consumer need for good-looking designer glasses that were stylish,comfortable,lightweight,provided thefunctionality of hearables,and priced around the same as regular glasses.At the core of our strategy are the following principles:1.Consumers prefer s
91、mart eyewear that looks and feels like traditional glasses and sunglasses;this is a key element in thedesign of all of our frames,and makes it easier for traditional eyewear users to switch to our products.2.For a smart eyewear line to achieve mass market penetration,it should cost a similar amount
92、to traditional designereyewear,especially while the category is still emerging and most consumers and not yet familiar with it.3.Smart eyewear must be user-friendly and have an interface that is easy to navigate by the wearer,even when their handsare wet or gloved.As such,we deploy highly tactile in
93、terfaces on our eyewear.4.The battery life of smart eyewear should be sufficient to support smart functionalities throughout the day withoutneeding to be recharged mid-day.5.Rather than burdening our hardware with mechanical features such as cameras and microdisplays which may beunnecessary for many
94、 users,we instead leverage software platforms that can add functionality without increasing theweight or size of the frames.6.By adhering to the above principles,we can eliminate any“costs of switching”from traditional eyewear to smarteyewear,and build customer lifetime value by offering a more powe
95、rful combination of fashion,smart features,andvision correction and protection than available from other companies.42025/5/10 23:44sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1808377/000182912625003518/innovativeeye_s1.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1808377/000182912625003518/innovativeeye_s1.htm10/40Tab
96、le of Contents All of our products are designed in Miami,manufactured in China,and sold through e-commerce channels,including on ourwebsite(Lucyd.co),BestB,DicksSportingG,B,W,T,and A,and sold by over 300 optical and sporting goods retailers.Additionally,we are pursuing online and in-store big box re
97、tailers,andin-store and online specialty retailers.Based on the existing demand for our products,current distribution,and recentlyconsummated supply agreements,we anticipate that our products will be available in a significant number of new third-partyretail locations in 2025.We believe that people
98、care about what they wear on their faces,and because we understand that customers have diversepreferences about the shape,size,and design of their eyewear,we aim to continuously introduce new models in an effort to offera wide variety of designs.We continuously present new models of eyewear to our n
99、etwork of followers to vote on those stylesthey find most appealing.We view this as community-approved design.Competition The smart eyewear industry in which we operate is competitive and subject to changes in practice.While we believe that ourproducts are hybrid of eyeglasses and audio technology,w
100、hich gives us a unique product that provides us with competitiveadvantages,we may face competition from many different entities now and in the future.All of our competitors have substantially greater manufacturing,financial,research and development,personnel,and marketingresources than we do.As a re
101、sult,although we believe our products are currently superior,our competitors may be able todevelop superior products,and compete more aggressively and sustain their competitive advantage over a longer period of timethan us.Our products may be rendered obsolete in the face of competition.Our Competit
102、ive Strengths A Unique Solution to a Common Problem.While immensely useful,smartphones can present a safety hazard to motorists,pedestrians,and cyclists because smartphones can distract people from the task or activity at hand.According to the GovernorsHighway Safety Association,there were over 7,00
103、0 pedestrian deaths in the U.S.in 2023,and experts believe smartphones werepartially to blame.Recent data from the Governors Highway Safety Association indicates that since 2010,the number ofpedestrian deaths rose by 77%,while all other traffic deaths increased by 22%(Pedestrian Traffic Fatalities b
104、y State:2022Preliminary Data (https:/www.ghsa.org/resources/Pedestrians24).We believe that the distraction created by smartphonesoriginates in two forms:(1)via headphones or earbuds,where the user is deprived of full audible situational awareness;and(2)via the visual interface of the phone,which dis
105、tracts the user completely from their surroundings.Lucyd Lyte open-ear audiohelps address this problem by having the speakers mounted at the temples(in the arms)of the glasses.There is nothing in the earcanal and,as a result,individuals can better maintain situational awareness,such as hearing the t
106、raffic around them,as well asnearby sounds.Many of our competitors have relatively bulky speakers enclosed within the temples,while Lucyd Lytesspeakers and temples are thin,which allows them to look similar to traditional designer glasses.Furthermore,through the quickand easy touch controls on the L
107、ucyd Lyte,the wearer can perform many tasks for which they would normally pull out theirphone-thus our glasses help untether the eyes of the user from their smartphones throughout the day and enable them to remainmore visually vigilant and aware of the traffic around them.Affordable Price Point.Our
108、Lucyd Lyte eyewear provides both optical-quality glasses and a Bluetooth headset together,atroughly the same price as a traditional pair of designer glasses,which is core to the disruptive potential of our product.OurLucyd Lyte line of smart eyewear enables prescription and sunglass wearers to inter
109、act with digital assistants and social mediawithout having to take their eyes off the road and are nearly hands-free,thereby improving the safety and convenience of takingcalls,listening to music,and audibly accessing digital information on the go.The Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price(“MSRP”)for
110、Lucyd Lyte 2.0 eyewear starts at$149,with advanced options and customizations available at higher price points,which are at the discretion of the customer.A basic prescription lens upgrade is offered for$40.By comparison,most of ourU.S.-based competitors offer products that are more expensive,starti
111、ng at approximately$249 or higher,with higher costs to addprescriptions.52025/5/10 23:44sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1808377/000182912625003518/innovativeeye_s1.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1808377/000182912625003518/innovativeeye_s1.htm11/40Table of Contents Quality.All of our frames ca

115、m aviators areamong the lightest smart eyewear ever made.Long Battery Life.At 12 hours of playback per charge,our current product offering of Lucyd eyewear outpaces most,if not all,of the competition on battery life.Capital Light Business Model.All of our products are sold through multiple e-commerc
116、e channels,including on our website(Lucyd.co),BestB,DicksSportingG,and A,and are distributed through optical or other retailers(such as,but not limited to,Metro Optics Eyewear and Marca Eyewear Group,Inc.).We believe this capital light approach ishighly scalable and efficient in the deployment of re

280、h,the director or officer acted in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in,or not opposed to,the best interests of the corporation,and in the case of any criminal proceeding,the director or officer had noreasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.A corporation may not indemn
281、ify a director or an officer except forexpenses and amounts paid in settlement not exceeding,in the judgment of the board of directors,the estimated expense oflitigating the proceeding to conclusion,actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of suchproceeding,inclu
282、ding any appeal thereof,where such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed tobe in,or not opposed to,the best interests of the corporation.The FBCA provides that a corporation must indemnify a director or officer who was wholly successful,on the merits or otherwise,i
283、n the defense of any proceeding to which the individual was a party because he or she is or was a director or officer of thecorporation against expenses incurred by the individual in connection with the proceeding.A corporation may,before final disposition of a proceeding,advance funds to pay for or
284、 reimburse expenses incurred in connectionwith the proceeding by a director or an officer if the director or officer delivers to the corporation a signed written undertaking ofthe director or officer to repay any funds advanced if such director or officer is not entitled to indemnification.Our amend
285、ed and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws provides that we shall indemnify our directors,officers,employeesand agents to the full extent permitted by FBCA,including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionaryunder such law.These indemnification provisions may be s
286、ufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our officers,directors and other corporateagents for liabilities(including reimbursement of expenses incurred)arising under the Securities Act.Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,offi
