52、decision.Overview Safety Shot Inc.(NASDAQ:SHOT)was formerly known as Jupiter Wellness Inc.In August 2023,the Company successfullycompleted the asset purchase of the Safety Shot Dietary Supplement from GBB Drink Lab,Inc.(“GBB”),thereby gainingownership of various assets,including the intellectual pro
53、perty,trade secrets,and trademarks associated with its dietary supplement(the“Safety Shot Dietary Supplement”).Concurrently with the asset purchase,the Company changed its name to Safety Shot,Inc.and changed its NASDAQ trading symbol to SHOT.The Company launched its e-commerce sale of the Safety Sho
54、t DietarySupplement in December 2023.On October 9,2024,the Company renamed the Safety Shot Dietary Supplement as the“Sure ShotDietary Supplement.”The Sure Shot Dietary Supplement has been formulated to reduce the accumulation of blood alcohol.Noteworthy is the fact thatthe Sure Shot Dietary Suppleme
55、nt comprises 28 active ingredients,all falling under the Generally Regarded As Safe(GRAS)category.Under sections 201(s)and 409 of the Federal Food,Drug,and Cosmetic Act(the Act),any substance that is intentionallyadded to food is a dietary supplement,that is subject to premarket review and approval
56、by the FDA,unless the substance isgenerally recognized,among qualified experts,as having been adequately shown to be safe under the conditions of its intended use,or unless the use of the substance is otherwise excepted from the definition of a dietary supplement.Its crucial to note that the Sure Sh
57、ot Dietary Supplement is currently manufactured in a facility adhering to Good ManufacturingPractices(GMP),ensuring the highest standards of quality and safety throughout its production process.The Company currentlymaintains a workforce comprising eight full-time employees of its own.Specializing in
58、 Consumer Packaged Goods,our focus centers on the commercialization of a 4-ounce product positioned as adietary supplement.Beyond our existing product,we are actively pursuing a future product line,including a convenient powderedstick pack version of the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement.The Company has
59、discontinued the historical product lines of Jupiter Wellness which included a diverse range of products,such ashair loss treatments,vitiligo solutions,and sexual wellness products,that catered to different health and wellness needs and ourcommitment to supporting health and wellness by developing i
60、nnovative solutions to a range of conditions.In connectiontherewith,on September 24,2024 the Company entered into a Separation and Exchange Agreement with its subsidiary CaringBrands,Inc.whereby Caring Brands will seek to commercialize this product line.Caring Brands will be responsible for all cost
61、sassociated with the operation of that line of business.The Company will focus its efforts on the commercialization of the Sure ShotDietary Supplement.The Company will retain ownership of 3,000,000 shares of Caring Brands,Inc.The Company entered into a stock exchange agreement(the“Exchange Agreement
62、”)with SRM Entertainment,Inc.(“SRM”)togovern the separation of SRM and the Company.On May 26,2023,we amended and restated the Exchange Agreement(the“Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement”)to include additional information regarding the distribution and the separation ofSRM and the Company.The sepa
63、ration as set forth in the Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement with the Company closedAugust 14,2023.Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement,on May 31,2023,SRM issued to the Company6,500,000 shares of SRM Common Stock(representing 79.3%of SRMs outstanding shares of Common Stock)i
64、n exchange for 2ordinary shares of SRM Ltd owned by the Company(representing all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of SRM)(the“Share Exchange”).On August 14,2023,SRM consummated its Initial Public Offering(“IPO”),pursuant to which it sold1,250,000 shares of its common stock at a price of
65、$5.00 per share.In connection with the Share Exchange and SRMs IPO,theCompany distributed 2,000,000 shares of SRMs common stock to the Companys stockholders and certain warrant holders(out ofthe 6.5 million shares issued in May 2023)which occurred on the effective date of the Registration Statement
66、but prior to theclosing of the IPO.Following such distribution,the Company owns 4.0 million of the 9,450,000 shares of common stockoutstanding and SRM is now a minority owned subsidiary of the Company.To achieve our mission,we rely on our team of highly skilled and experienced professionals who are
67、committed to advancing ourvision of health and wellness.Our team includes individuals with scientific backgrounds,an experienced researcher,productdevelopers,and business experts who collaborate to create new products and enhance existing ones.We also seek to partner withindustry leaders and organiz

69、eams and expand our globalpresence.At present,we do not experience concentration risk or dependence on major customers.2025/5/20 10:33sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1760903/000164117225011535/forms-1.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1760903/000164117225011535/forms-1.htm8/176 We maintain a div
70、erse network of raw material suppliers integral to our production processes.Acquisition strategies encompassboth direct procurement and collaborative efforts with our co-packers.The selection of suppliers is contingent upon various factors,including ingredient specificity,availability,and other esse
71、ntial considerations.Notably,these suppliers coincide with thosecurrently providing materials to other facilities engaged in the manufacturing of drinks,powders,tablets,and capsules.Our rosterof suppliers comprises reputable entities such as Jiaherb,Compound Solutions,Kyowa-Hakko,Mitsubishi Ingredie

75、ducts Roadmap The Sure Shot Dietary Supplement was launched on our own website and through Amazon in December 2023 and with several BigBox stores.The Company is advancing several product formats and formulations to continue to offer a wide array of products thatcan be purchased at various locations
76、that coincide with consumer shopping habits.In particular,the Company plans to continue todevelop new flavors for each of its current SKUs(4 oz.and“Stick Pack”.In addition,the current formula will be offered at variousdosages and the Company plans to conduct additional research studies as follows:as
77、sessing varying dosages of the Sure ShotDietary Supplement against body weight,gender and age,examining several current and proposed ingredients with respect to theirspecific role in reducing BAC and how they affect the enzymatic activity associated with the metabolism of alcohol,and finally,examini
78、ng additional markers with respect to improving post-alcohol consumption symptoms and feelings.The Company will continue to sponsor the studies and intends to work with the Center for Applied Health Sciences(“CAHS”)inCanfield,OH.The participants will be selected based upon the parameters of the indi
79、vidual studies and the Company will followthe same protocols employed in the clinical trials at the CAHS described in more detail below in“Research and Development.”Research and Development Our research and development team in continually looking to develop new therapeutic products,while continually
80、 improving andenhancing our existing products and product candidates to address customer demands and emerging trends.We have conducted extensive informal research and experimentation involving a substantial number of volunteers under theinfluence of alcohol.Our findings indicate that the Sure Shot D
81、ietary Supplement can reduce a persons Blood Alcohol Content,asmeasured by the premier Breathalyzer on the market.We have recently completed our clinical trials of the Sure Shot DietarySupplement which have shown a statistically significant reduction in the Blood Alcohol Content(“BAC”)of the partici
82、pants.Theobservable enhancements in cognitive abilities among the test subjects have been carefully documented.The clinical trials took place from January 29,2024,through June 10,2024,at the CAHS located at 6570 Seville Drive,Canfield,OH 44406.The clinical trials were sponsored and paid for by the C
83、ompany and consisted of 36 participants with a mean age of36.3 years that were selected through advertising of the study.The Company did not inquire about the participants typical level ofalcohol consumption but each participant had to qualify based upon a complete medical history questionnaire,rele
84、ase fromphysicians and submitting to a standard bloodwork panel.Each participant consumed exactly 100 mL of alcohol and the BAC ofthe participants ranged from 0.047%to 0.068%.The participants were not employees of the Company nor affiliated with theCompany in any way.The clinical trials were a doubl
85、e-blind,randomized,placebo-controlled study that found that within 30minutes of the consumption of the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement,the monitored participants saw a statistically significant drop ofp=.002 in BAC and continued to see measurable drops in successive 30-minute increments.The results wer
86、e measured by using aDOT-approved BACtrack S80 Breathalyzer on the participants to determine their BAC after ingesting several alcoholic beverages,followed by drinking 12 ounces of the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement and then measuring the participants BAC 30 minutes later.Inaddition,cognitive response
87、s were measured using the Visual Analogue Scale(“VAS”)and physical function assessed at the sameintervals as the blood draws and breathalyzer assessments to correlate to function.The VAS consisted of a 10 cm,straight line withend points that measured from low-to-high for a number of physical feeling
88、s and sensations.The participants were asked to mark apoint on the line that corresponded with their experience.The distance from the end to the point marked by the participant was thenmeasured in millimeters to quantify their level of sensation.On each visit,participants were asked to perform the V
89、AS tests and theVAS assessed subjective ratings for head discomfort(headache),nausea,fatigue,energy,tiredness,thirst and ability to concentrate.The Company also conducted further physical assessment by monitoring biometric measurements such as blood pressure and heartrate at various intervals.The ke
90、y assumptions in the study were that the participants would demonstrate a marked decrease in BACfollowing the consumption of the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement versus that of the placebo.In addition,the study assumed that theparticipants would feel better and demonstrate marked improvement in cognitiv
91、e skills and physical function following theconsumption of the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement versus that of the placebo.The Company had previously observed in ournumerous,pre-clinical tests that participants who consumed significant amounts of alcohol(more than two drinks)experiencedmarked and rapid
92、reductions in their BAC when measured by BACTrack S80 breathalyzers after consumption of the Sure ShotDietary Supplement.In addition,the Company observed in the pre-clinical tests that the participants showed significantimprovement in motor function and reduction in slurred speech and other markers
93、commonly associated with alcohol consumption.These findings led the Company to continue to develop the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement and commission a clinical study to proveour hypothesis.There were five adverse events amongst the participants in the study.Four of the adverse events were associatedwi
94、th the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement(three felt nauseous and one developed a rash)and none of the adverse events were serious.The final adverse event was associated with congestion of the placebo.Since approximately 2010,the Company has performed 100s of pre-clinical tests in an effort to develop and
95、 perfect the Sure ShotDietary Supplement.These informal,pre-clinical tests included friends,family and other volunteers who consumed alcohol atvarying levels and then were tested prior to the consumption of the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement.The pre-clinical tests wereneither peer reviewed nor were th
96、e subjects screened prior to their participation.In addition,the VAS was not used nor were thereany placebos or other control measures taken in the pre-clinical tests and as such these tests are considered informal and non-clinical.The participants BAC was measured by using the BacTrack S80 after th
97、e consumption of various amounts of alcohol and2025/5/20 10:33sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1760903/000164117225011535/forms-1.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1760903/000164117225011535/forms-1.htm10/176prior to the consumption of the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement and then at 30 minutes,45 mi
98、nutes and one-hour intervals afterconsumption of the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement so we could assess the efficacy of the Companys R&D efforts at that point intime.The Company also observed motor function skills such as walking,balancing and speech at the same intervals following theconsumption of 12
99、 ounces of the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement.The Company defined and noted the significant improvement ineach area by observing participants walk and whether a participants gait was unsteady,or whether their balance was off whilestanding and whether their speech was clear or slurred.The Company incur

253、 Dietary Supplement The production,distribution and sale in the United States of the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement is subject to various U.S.federal,state and local regulations,including but not limited to:the Federal Food,Drug and Cosmetic Act(“FD&C Act”);the OccupationalSafety and Health Act and va
254、rious state laws and regulations governing workplace health and safety;various environmentalstatutes;the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986(“California Proposition 65”);data privacy and personal dataprotection laws and regulations,including the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2
255、018(as modified by the California PrivacyRights Act)and a number of other federal,state and local statutes and regulations applicable to the production,transportation,sale,safety,advertising,marketing,labeling,packaging,and ingredients of the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement.We also may in the future be
256、 affected by other existing,proposed and potential future regulations or regulatory actions,includingthose described below,any of which could adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Furthermore,legislation and regulation may be introduced in the United States at t
257、he federal,state,municipal and supranationallevel in respect of each of the subject areas discussed below.Public health officials and health advocates are increasingly focusedon the public health consequences associated with obesity and alcohol consumption,especially as they may affect children,and
258、areseeking legislative change to reduce the consumption of sweetened and alcohol beverages.We are subject to a number of regulations applicable to the formulation,labeling,packaging,and advertising(includingpromotional campaigns)of our products.In California,we are subject to California Proposition
259、65,a law which requires that aspecified warning be provided before exposing California consumers to any product that contains in excess of threshold amounts ofa substance listed by California as having been found to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity.California Proposition 65 does notrequire a wa
260、rning if the manufacturer of a product can demonstrate that the use of the product in question exposes consumers to anaverage daily quantity of a listed substance that is below that threshold amount,which is determined either by scientific criteria setforth in applicable regulations or via a“safe ha
261、rbor”threshold that may be established by the state,or the substance is naturallyoccurring,or is subject to another applicable exception.As of the date of this registration statement,we are not required to put awarning label on our product and our products are perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl subs
262、tances(“PFAS”)free.We are unable topredict whether a component found in our product might be added to the California list in the future.Furthermore,we are alsounable to predict when or whether the increasing sensitivity of detection methodology may become applicable under this law andrelated regulat
263、ions as they currently exist,or as they may be amended.If we are required to add warning labels to any of ourproducts or place warnings in certain locations where our products are sold,it will be difficult to predict whether,or to what extent,such a warning would have an adverse impact on sales of o
264、ur products in those locations or elsewhere.In addition,there has beenincreasing regulatory activity globally regarding constituents in packaging materials,including PFAS.Regardless of whetherperceived health consequences of these constituents are justified,such regulatory activity could result in a
265、dditional governmentregulations that impact the packaging of our beverages.In addition,the U.S.Food and Drug Administration(the“FDA”)has regulations with respect to serving size information andnutrition labeling on food and beverage products,including a requirement to disclose the amount of added su
266、gars in such productsand regulations about whether a product qualifies as a drug.Further,the U.S.Department of Agriculture promulgated regulationsrequiring that,by January 1,2022,the labels of certain bioengineered foods include a disclosure that the food is bioengineered.These regulations may impac
267、t,reduce and/or otherwise affect the purchase and consumption of our products by consumers.All ingredients in the Sure Shot Dietary Supplement are deemed Generally Recognized as Safe(GRAS)and align with FDAstandards,permitting their inclusion in supplements.In the event that the FDA or any governmen
268、tal agency identifies an ingredientor aspect of our product as unsafe,we commit to promptly withdrawing that component in accordance with regulatory directives.From a product and sales perspective,there are no impediments or concerns raised by any governmental agency.It is essential tonote that the
269、Sure Shot Dietary Supplement is classified as a dietary supplement,exempt from the approval or filing requirementsmandated for pharmaceutical drugs by the FDA or other regulatory authorities.Employees As of this prospectus,we had eight full-time employees.We believe our relations with our employees
270、to be good.Properties Currently,we do not own any real property.We rent office space at 1061 E.Indiantown Rd.,Ste.110,Jupiter,FL 33477 for$15,038 per month.The Company entered into the office lease effective July 1,2021,which has a primary term of the lease of fiveyears with one renewal option for a

276、If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes,our products may become obsolete.The market for our products is characterized by significant and rapid change.Although we will continue to expand our product linecapabilities to remain competitive,research and discoveries by others may mak
277、e our processes,products,or brands less attractiveor even obsolete.Competition could adversely affect our business.Our industry in general is competitive.It is possible that future competitors could enter our market,thereby causing us to losemarket share and revenues.In addition,some of our current
278、or future competitors may have significantly greater financial,technical,marketing,and other resources than we do or may have more experience or advantages in the markets in which we willcompete that will allow them to offer lower prices or higher quality products.If we do not successfully compete w
279、ith thesecompetitors,we could fail to develop market share and our future business prospects could be adversely affected.If we are unable to develop and maintain our brand and reputation for our product offerings,our business and prospects couldbe materially harmed.Our business and prospects depend,
280、in part,on developing and then maintaining and strengthening our brand and reputation in themarkets we serve.If problems with our products cause our customers to have a negative experience or failure or delay in thedelivery of our products to our customers,our brand and reputation could be diminishe
281、d.If we fail to develop,promote andmaintain our brand and reputation successfully,our business and prospects could be materially harmed.We are subject to government regulation,and unfavorable changes could substantially harm our business and results ofoperations.We are subject to general business re
282、gulations and laws as well as regulations and laws specifically governing our industries in theU.S.and other countries in which we operate.Uncertainty surrounding existing and future laws and regulations may impede ourservices and increase the cost of providing such services.These regulations and la
283、ws may cover taxation,tariffs,user pricing,distribution,consumer protection and the characteristics and quality of services.We depend heavily on key personnel,and turnover of key senior management could harm our business.Our future business and results of operations depend in significant part upon t
284、he continued contributions of our senior managementpersonnel.If we lose their services or if they fail to perform in their current positions,or if we are not able to attract and retainskilled personnel as needed,our business could suffer.Significant turnover in our senior management could significan
285、tly depleteour institutional knowledge held by our existing senior management team.We depend on the skills and abilities of these keypersonnel in managing the product acquisition,marketing and sales aspects of our business,any part of which could be harmed byturnover in the future.We may not have wr
286、itten employment agreements with all of our senior management.We do not have anykey person insurance.Our products may not meet health and safety standards or could become contaminated.We do not have control over all of the third parties involved in the manufacturing of our products and their complia
287、nce withgovernment health and safety standards.Even if our products meet these standards,they could otherwise become contaminated.Afailure to meet these standards or contamination could occur in our operations or those of our manufacturers,distributors orsuppliers.This could result in expensive prod
288、uction interruptions,recalls and liability claims.Moreover,negative publicity couldbe generated from false,unfounded or nominal liability claims or limited recalls.Any of these failures or occurrences couldnegatively affect our business and financial performance.The sale of our products involves pro
289、duct liability and related risks that could expose us to significant insurance and lossexpenses.We face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims if the use of our products results in,or is believed to have resultedin,illness or injury.Our products contain combinations of ingredients,
290、and there is little long-term experience with the effect ofthese combinations.In addition,interactions of these products with other products,prescription medicines and over-the-countertreatments have not been fully explored or understood and may have unintended consequences.152025/5/20 10:33sec.gov/

292、se event may increase our costs through higher insurance premiums and deductibles and maymake it more difficult to secure adequate insurance coverage in the future.In addition,our product liability insurance may fail tocover future product liability claims,which,if adversely determined,could subject
293、 us to substantial monetary damages.The success of our business will depend upon our ability to create and expand our brand awareness.The markets we compete in,including the wellness drink market,sexual wellness and hair growth markets we intend to compete in,are highly competitive,with many well-kn
294、own brands leading the industry.Our ability to compete effectively and generate revenuewill be based upon our ability to create and expand awareness of our products distinct from those of our competitors.It isimperative that we are able to convey to consumers the benefits of our products.However,adv
295、ertising and packaging and labelingof such products will be limited by various regulations.Our success will be dependent upon our ability to convey to consumers thatour products are superior to those of our competitors.We must develop and introduce new products to succeed.Our industry is subject to
296、rapid change.New products are constantly introduced to the market.Our ability to remain competitivedepends in part on our ability to enhance existing products,to develop and manufacture new products in a timely and cost-effectivemanner,to accurately predict market transitions,and to effectively mark
297、et our products.Our future financial results will depend toa great extent on the successful introduction of several new products.We cannot be certain that we will be successful in selecting,developing,manufacturing and marketing new products or in enhancing existing products.The success of new produ
298、ct introductions depends on various factors,including,without limitation,the following:Successful sales and marketing efforts;Timely delivery of new products;Availability of raw materials;Pricing of raw materials;Regulatory allowance of the products;and Customer acceptance of new products.Adverse pu
299、blicity associated with our products or ingredients,or those of similar companies,could adversely affect our salesand revenue.Adverse publicity concerning any actual or purported failure by us to comply with applicable laws and regulations regarding anyaspect of our business could have an adverse ef
300、fect on the public perception of us.This,in turn,could negatively affect our abilityto obtain financing,endorsers and attract distributors or retailers for our products,which would have a material adverse effect onour ability to generate sales and revenue.Our distributors and customers perception of
301、 the safety and quality of our products or even similar products distributed by otherscan be significantly influenced by national media attention,publicized scientific research or findings,product liability claims andother publicity concerning our products or similar products distributed by others.A
302、dverse publicity,whether or not accurate,thatassociates consumption of our products or any similar products with illness or other adverse effects,will likely diminish thepublics perception of our products.Claims that any products are ineffective,inappropriately labeled or have inaccurate instruction
303、sas to their use,could have a material adverse effect on the market demand for our products,including reducing our sales andrevenue.162025/5/20 10:33sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1760903/000164117225011535/forms-1.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1760903/000164117225011535/forms-1.htm27/176 I
304、f serious adverse or undesirable side effects are identified during the development of our product candidates,we may abandonor limit our development or commercialization of such product candidates.If our product candidates are associated with undesirable side effects or have unexpected characteristi
305、cs,we may need to abandontheir development or limit development to certain uses or subpopulations in which the undesirable side effects or othercharacteristics are less prevalent,less severe or more acceptable from a risk-benefit perspective.If we elect or are forced to suspend or terminate any clin
306、ical trial with one of our product candidates,the commercial prospects ofsuch product candidate will be harmed,and our ability to generate revenue from such product candidate will be delayed oreliminated.Any of these occurrences may harm our business,financial condition and prospects significantly.I
307、f we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of subjects to our clinical trials,our ability to complete such trials willbe adversely affected Identifying,screening and enrolling patients to participate in clinical trials of our product candidates is critical to our success,andwe may not
308、be able to identify,recruit,enroll and dose a sufficient number of patients with the required or desired characteristics tocomplete our clinical trials in a timely manner.The timing of our clinical trials depends on our ability to recruit patients toparticipate as well as to subsequently dose these
309、patients and complete required follow-up periods.In particular,because ourplanned clinical trials may be focused on indications with relatively small patient populations,our ability to enroll eligible patientsmay be limited or may result in slower enrollment than we anticipate.In addition,we may exp
310、erience enrollment delays related to increased or unforeseen legal and logistical requirements at certainclinical trial sites.These delays could be caused by reviews by contractual discussions with individual clinical trial sites.Anydelays in enrolling and/or dosing patients in our planned clinical
311、trials could result in increased costs,delays in advancing ourproduct candidates,delays in testing the effectiveness of our product candidates or in termination of the clinical trials altogether.Participant enrollment may also be affected by other factors,including:coordination with clinical researc
312、h organizations to enroll and administer the clinical trials;coordination and recruitment of collaborators and investigators at individual sites;size of the participant population and process for identifying participants;design of the clinical trial protocol;eligibility and exclusion criteria;percei
313、ved risks and benefits of the product candidates under study;time of year in which the trials are initiated or conducted;ability to obtain and maintain subject consents;ability to enroll participants in a timely manner;risk that enrolled subjects will drop out before completion of the trials;proximi
314、ty and availability of clinical trial sites for prospective participants;ability to monitor subjects adequately during and after treatment.It is uncertain whether product liability insurance will be adequate to address product liability claims,or that insurance againstsuch claims will be affordable
315、or available on acceptable terms in the future.Clinical research involves the testing of products on human volunteers pursuant to a clinical trial protocol.Such testing involves arisk of liability for personal injury to or death of patients due to,among other causes,adverse side effects,improper adm
316、inistrationof the new product,or improper volunteer behavior.Claims may arise from patients,clinical trial volunteers,consumers,physicians,hospitals,companies,institutions,researchers,or others using,selling,or buying our products,as well as fromgovernmental bodies.In addition,product liability and
317、related risks are likely to increase over time,in particular upon thecommercialization or marketing of any products by us or parties with which we enter into development,marketing,or distributioncollaborations.Although we are contracting for general liability insurance in connection with our ongoing
318、 business,there can be noassurance that the amount and scope of such insurance coverage will be appropriate and sufficient in the event any claims arise,that we will be able to secure additional coverage should we attempt to do so,or that our insurers would not contest or refuse anyattempt by us to
319、collect on such insurance policies.Furthermore,there can be no assurance that suitable product liability insurance(at the clinical stage and/or commercial stage)will continue to be available on terms acceptable to us or at all,or that,if obtained,the insurance coverage will be appropriate and suffic
320、ient to cover any potential claims or liabilities.172025/5/20 10:33sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1760903/000164117225011535/forms-1.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1760903/000164117225011535/forms-1.htm28/176 If we are unable to establish relationships with licensees or collaborators to carr
321、y out sales,marketing,and distributionfunctions or to create effective marketing,sales,and distribution capabilities,we will be unable to market our productssuccessfully.Our business strategy may include out-licensing product candidates to or collaborating with larger firms with experience inmarketi
322、ng and selling pharmaceutical products.There can be no assurance that we will successfully be able to establish marketing,sales,or distribution relationships with any third-party,that such relationships,if established,will be successful,or that we will besuccessful in gaining market acceptance for a
323、ny products we might develop.To the extent that we enter into any marketing,sales,or distribution arrangements with third parties,our product revenues per unit sold are expected to be lower than if we marketed,sold,and distributed our products directly,and any revenues we receive will depend upon th
324、e efforts of such third parties.If we are unable to establish such third-party marketing and sales relationships,or choose not to do so,we would have to establishin-house marketing and sales capabilities.To market any products directly,we would have to establish a marketing,sales,anddistribution for
325、ce that has technical expertise and could support a distribution capability.Competition in the dietary supplementindustry for technically proficient marketing,sales,and distribution personnel is intense and attracting and retaining such personnelmay significantly increase our costs.There can be no a
326、ssurance that we will be able to establish internal marketing,sales,or distribution capabilities or that thesecapabilities will be sufficient to meet our needs.Natural disasters and other events beyond our control could materially adversely affect us.Natural disasters or other catastrophic events ma
327、y cause damage or disruption to our operations,international commerce and theglobal economy,and thus could have a strong negative effect on us.Our business operations are subject to interruption by naturaldisasters,fire,power shortages,pandemics and other events beyond our control.Such events could
328、make it difficult or impossiblefor us to deliver our services to our customers and could decrease demand for our services.182025/5/20 10:33sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1760903/000164117225011535/forms-1.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1760903/000164117225011535/forms-1.htm29/176 We have a l
