77、t arrangements with Alpha Modus for AI-driven advertising solutions for stadiumsand event management.Alpha Modus intends to immediately deploy services under the license,expand event venue serviceofferings in late 2025,and expand service offerings in additional industries in 2025.On January 16,2024,
78、Alpha Modus initiated a patent infringement action against The Kroger Company alleging patentinfringement of several Alpha Modus patents encompassing retail marketing and advertising data-driven technologies to enhanceconsumers in-store experience at the point of decision,which action has since been
79、 settled.On November 12,2024,Alpha Modusinitiated a patent infringement lawsuit against Brookshire Grocery Co.alleging infringement of several Alpha Modus patentspertaining to its 571 patent portfolio,825 patent portfolio,672 patent portfolio,890 patent portfolio and 880 patent portfolio,which encom

98、sk factors described under“Risk Factors”beginning on page 7.Suchrisks include,but are not limited to,the following risks:The resale of shares of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus could have a significant negative impact on thetrading price of our common stock.Alpha Modus had net losses an
99、d negative cash flows from operating activities in the past,and it may not achieve orsustain profitability.If Alpha Modus is unable to continue as a going concern,its securities will have little or no value.The artificial intelligence(AI)technology market in which Alpha Modus participates is competi
100、tive.If Alpha Modus fails to adapt to changes in the AI industry,its business may be harmed.Alpha Modus may fail to protect its intellectual property rights and proprietary information.Alpha Modus will likely become subject to intellectual property disputes.Alpha Modus patent portfolio is subject to
101、 evolving legislation,regulations,and rules associated with patent law in theUnited States and other jurisdictions,which may adversely affect its business.Patent litigation is inherently risky,and the USPTO,or other relevant patent offices,may either invalidate Alpha Moduspatents or materially narro
102、w the scope of their claims.Alpha Modus may experience delays in successful enforcement and licensing of its patent portfolio.Because Alpha Modus patents are expected to expire in 2034-2037,its continued operations beyond those dates willdepend on its ability to obtain additional patents with later
103、expiration dates.Alpha Modus lack of patent enforcement and licensing experience could adversely affect its operations.Alpha Modus will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company.Alpha Modus management team has limited experience managing a Nasdaq-listed public company.Alpha

141、phaModus competitors have substantial competitive advantages,including larger scale,longer operating history,greater brandrecognition,more established relationships with customers,suppliers and partners,and greater financial,research and development,marketing and other resources.As a result,Alpha Mo

148、e of AI in the market generally may result in reputational harm or liability to AlphaModus.As with many disruptive innovations,AI presents risks and challenges that could affect its adoption,and therefore AlphaModus business.AI algorithms may be flawed.Datasets may be insufficient or contain biased
149、information.Inappropriate orcontroversial data practices could impair the acceptance of AI solutions.These deficiencies could undermine the decisions,predictions,or analysis AI applications produce,subjecting the providers of AI technologies generally,including Alpha Modus,tocompetitive harm,legal l
150、iability,and brand or reputational harm.Some AI scenarios present ethical or data privacy issues.If AlphaModus enables or offers AI solutions that are controversial because of their impact on human rights,privacy,employment,or othersocial issues,it may experience brand or reputational harm.Risks Rel
151、ated to Alpha Modus Intellectual Property Alpha Modus may fail to obtain,maintain,and protect its intellectual property rights and proprietary information or preventthird parties from any unauthorized use of its technologies.Alpha Modus trade secrets,trademarks,patents,and other intellectual propert
152、y rights are critical to its success.Alpha Modusexpects to rely on confidentiality agreements and non-compete agreements with third parties to protect its intellectual properties.However,events beyond its control may pose threats to its intellectual property rights and the integrity of its technolog
153、ies andbrand.Effective protection of Alpha Modus intellectual property rights is expensive and challenging.While Alpha Modus hastaken measures to protect its intellectual property rights by filing patent applications,pursuing patent prosecution,and obtainingpatents in the United States,such efforts
154、are inadequate to guard against and prohibit potential infringement and misappropriation.In addition,Alpha Modus intellectual property rights may be declared invalid or unenforceable by the courts.Furthermore,AlphaModus cannot assure you that any of its pending patent or other intellectual property
155、rights applications will ultimately proceed toregistration or will result in registration with adequate scope for its business.Some of Alpha Modus applications or registrationsmay be successfully challenged or invalidated by others.If Alpha Modus intellectual property rights applications are notsucc
156、essful,it may have to use different intellectual property rights for its affected technologies,or seek to enter into arrangementswith any third parties who may have prior registrations,applications or rights,which might not be available on commerciallyreasonable terms,if at all.If Alpha Modus fails
157、to protect or enforce its intellectual property rights,its competitors may use itstechnologies without authorization.As a result,future customers and partners could then devalue Alpha Modus technologies,andAlpha Modus ability to compete effectively may be impaired,which could have a material adverse
158、 effect on its business,financialcondition and results of operations.Alpha Modus will likely become subject to intellectual property disputes,which are typically costly and may subject us tosignificant liability and increased costs of business.2025/5/21 15:49sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1862463/00016

160、ngement of these rights.Alpha Modus intends to enforce itspatent rights by bringing legal claims against other parties,and its competitors and other third parties may,whether rightly orfalsely,bring legal claims against it for infringing on their intellectual property rights.The intellectual propert
161、y laws in the UnitedStates,which cover the validity,enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights,are evolving,and litigation isa popular means to resolve commercial disputes.Any intellectual property lawsuits against Alpha Modus,whether successful ornot,may harm our brand a
162、nd reputation.Prosecuting and defending intellectual property claims is costly and can impose a significant burden on our management andresources.Any intellectual property litigation to which Alpha Modus becomes a party may require it to do one or more of thefollowing:cease selling,licensing,or usin
163、g products or features that incorporate the intellectual property rights that Alpha Modusallegedly infringes,misappropriates,or violates;make substantial payments for legal fees,settlement payments,or other costs or damages,including indemnification ofthird parties;obtain a license or enter into a r

167、tm18/175Table of Contents Alpha Modus intellectual property business is reliant on the strength of is patent portfolios and is subject to evolvinglegislation,regulations,and rules associated with patent law,which may adversely affect its business.The success of Alpha Modus intellectual property busi
168、ness is heavily dependent on obtaining and enforcing patents.Patentacquisition and enforcement is costly,time-consuming,and inherently uncertain.Obtaining and enforcing patents across variousindustries,including the artificial intelligence industry,involves a high degree of technological and legal c
169、omplexity.Alpha Moduspatent rights may be affected by developments or uncertainty in U.S.or foreign patent statutes,patent case law,U.S.Patent andTrademark Office(“USPTO”)rules and regulations and the rules and regulations of foreign patent offices.In addition,the UnitedStates may,at any time,enact
170、changes to U.S.patent law and regulations,including by legislation,by regulatory rulemaking,or byjudicial precedent,that adversely affect the scope of patent protection available and weaken the rights of patent owners to obtainpatents,enforce against patent infringement and obtain injunctions and/or
171、 damages.For example,over the past several years,theCourt of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the Supreme Court issued various opinions,and the USPTO modified its guidance forpractitioners on multiple occasions,either narrowing the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or
172、weakeningthe rights of patent owners in certain situations.Other countries may likewise enact changes to their patent laws in ways thatadversely diminish the scope of patent protection and weaken the rights of patent owners to obtain patents,enforce against patentinfringement,and obtain injunctions
173、and/or damages.In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to Alpha Modus ability toobtain patents in the future,this combination of events has created uncertainty with respect to the value of patents,once obtained.Alpha Modus cannot predict the breadth of claims that may be allowed or enforce
174、d in its patents or in third-party patents,andwhether Congress or other foreign legislative bodies may pass patent reform legislation that is unfavorable to it,which may,in turn,affect the value of its patent assets.Further,the United States and other governments may,at any time,enact changes to law
175、 and regulation that create newavenues for challenging the validity of issued patents.For example,the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act(described in more detailin the following risk factor)created new administrative post-grant proceedings,including post-grant review,inter-partes review,and derivation
176、proceedings that allow third parties to challenge the validity of issued patents.This applies to all of Alpha Moduspatents.Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in U.S.federal courtsnecessary to invalidate a patent claim,a third party could
177、 potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for theUSPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidence would be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in adistrict court action.In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to Alpha Modus ability to obt
178、ain patents in the future,thiscombination of events has created uncertainty with respect to the value of patents,once obtained.Depending on decisions by theU.S.Congress,the federal courts,and the USPTO,the laws and regulations governing patents could change in unpredictable waysthat could weaken Alp
179、ha Modus ability to obtain new patents or to enforce its existing patents and patents that it might obtain inthe future.Additionally,new rules regarding the burden of proof in patent enforcement actions could significantly increase the cost ofAlpha Modus enforcement actions,and new standards or limi
180、tations on liability for patent infringement could negatively impactAlpha Modus revenue derived from such enforcement actions.In addition,recent federal court decisions have lowered thethreshold for obtaining attorneys fees in patent infringement cases and increased the level of deference given to a
181、 district courtsfee-shifting determination.These decisions may make it easier for district courts to shift a prevailing partys attorneys fees to anon-prevailing party if the district court believes that the case was weak or conducted in an abusive manner.As a result,defendantsin patent infringement
182、actions brought by non-practicing entities may elect not to settle because these decisions make it mucheasier for defendants to get attorneys fees.Finally,it is difficult to predict the outcome of patent enforcement litigation at the trial level and outcomes can be unfavorable.It can be difficult to
183、 understand complex patented technologies,and as a result,this may lead to a higher rate of unfavorablelitigation outcomes.Moreover,in the event of a favorable outcome,there is often a higher rate of successful appeals in patentenforcement litigation than more standard business litigation.Such appea
184、ls are expensive and time consuming,resulting inincreased costs and a potential for delayed or foregone revenue opportunities in the event of modification or reversal of favorableoutcomes.Although Alpha Modus plans to diligently pursue enforcement litigation,it cannot predict with reliability the de
185、cisionsthat may made by juries and trial courts.Changes to patent laws in the United States and other jurisdictions could diminish the value of patents in general,therebyimpairing Alpha Modus ability to protect its product or its current or future product candidates.Alpha Modus success is heavily de
186、pendent on intellectual property,particularly patents.Obtaining and enforcing patents iscostly,time consuming and inherently uncertain.Patent reform legislation in the United States and other countries,including theLeahy-Smith America Invents Act(the“Leahy-Smith Act”),contributes to those uncertaint
187、ies and costs.The Leahy-Smith Actincludes a number of significant changes to U.S.patent law.These include provisions that have affected the way patent applicationsare prosecuted and have redefined prior art and provided more efficient and cost-effective avenues for competitors to challenge thevalidi
188、ty of patents.In addition,the Leahy-Smith Act has transformed the U.S.patent system into a first-to-file system in which,assuming that other requirements of patentability are met,the first inventor to file a patent application will be entitled to the patentregardless of whether a third party was fir
189、st to invent the claimed invention.A third party that has filed a patent application in theUSPTO after March 2013 but before Alpha Modus could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of Alpha Modus2025/5/21 15:49sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1862463/000164117225011553/forms-1a.htmhttps:/ww
190、w.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1862463/000164117225011553/forms-1a.htm19/175even if Alpha Modus had made the invention before it was made by such third party.This requires Alpha Modus or its licensees tobe cognizant of the time from invention to filing of a patent application.Furthermore,Alpha Modus
191、ability to obtain and maintainvalid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between its technology and the prior art allow its technology tobe patentable over the prior art.Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a periodof time
192、 after filing or until issuance,Alpha Modus cannot be certain that it was the first to either(i)file any patent applicationrelated to its product or product candidates,or(ii)invent any of the inventions claimed in its patents or patent applications.Evenwhere Alpha Modus has a valid and enforceable p
193、atent,Alpha Modus or its licensees may not be able to exclude others frompracticing the claimed invention where the other party can show that they used the invention in commerce before our filing date orthe other party benefits from a compulsory license.Among some of the other changes introduced by
194、the Leahy-Smith Act are changes that(i)affect the way patent applicationsare prosecuted,(ii)redefine prior art,and(iii)provide more efficient and cost-effective avenues for competitors to challenge thevalidity of patents.These include changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringemen
195、t suit and provide newopportunities for third parties to challenge issued patents in the USPTO.Alpha Modus or its licensees may be subject to the risk ofthird-party prior art submissions on pending applications or become a party to opposition,derivation,reexamination,inter partesreview,post-grant re
196、view or interference proceedings challenging our patents.There is a lower standard of evidence necessary toinvalidate a patent claim in a USPTO proceeding relative to the standard in U.S.district or federal court.This could lead thirdparties to challenge and successfully invalidate Alpha Modus or it
197、s licensees patents that would not otherwise be invalidated ifchallenged through the court system.Accordingly,a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures to invalidate AlphaModus or its licensees patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a
198、 defendant in adistrict court action.Thus,the Leahy-Smith Act and its implementation increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding theprosecution of Alpha Modus or its future licensees patent applications and the enforcement or defense of Alpha Modus issuedpatents,all of which could have a materi
199、al adverse effect on our business,financial condition,results of operations and prospects.9 2025/5/21 15:49sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1862463/000164117225011553/forms-1a.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1862463/000164117225011553/forms-1a.htm20/175Table of Contents Additionally,the U.S.Sup
200、reme Court has ruled on several patent cases in recent years,either narrowing the scope of patentprotection available in certain circumstances or weakening the rights of patent owners in certain situations.In addition,there havebeen recent proposals for additional changes to the patent laws of the U
201、nited States and other countries that,if adopted,couldimpact Alpha Modus or its licensees ability to obtain or maintain patent protection for Alpha Modus or its out-licensed proprietarytechnology or Alpha Modus or its licensees ability to enforce Alpha Modus or its out-licensed proprietary technolog
202、y,respectively.Depending on future actions by the U.S.Congress,the U.S.courts,the USPTO and the relevant law-making bodies inother countries,the laws and regulations governing patents could change in unpredictable ways that would weaken Alpha Modusability to obtain new patents;enforce or shorten the
203、 term of Alpha Modus or its licensees existing patents and patents that might beobtained in the future;shorten the term that has been lengthened by patent term adjustment of existing patents or patents that AlphaModus might obtain in the future;or challenge the validity or enforceability of Alpha Mo
204、dus patents that may be asserted againstAlpha Modus by competitors or other third parties.Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse effect on Alpha Modusbusiness.For example,with respect to patent term adjustment,the Federal Circuits recent holding in In re Cellect,LLC,81 F.4th1216(Fed.Cir
205、.2023),that obviousness-type double patent analysis for a patent that has received patent term adjustment must bebased on the expiration date of the patent after the patent term adjustment has been added,may negatively impact the term of AlphaModus patents.Finally,Europes new Unitary Patent system a
206、nd Unified Patent Court(the“UPC”)may present uncertainties for AlphaModus ability to protect and enforce patent rights against competitors in Europe.In 2012,the European Patent Package(the“EUPatent Package”),regulations were passed with the goal of providing a single pan-European Unitary Patent syst
207、em and a newUPC for litigation involving European patents.Implementation of the EU Patent Package occurred in June 2023.Under the UPC,all European patents,including those issued prior to ratification of the European Patent Package,will by default automatically fallunder the jurisdiction of the UPC.T
208、he UPC will provide Alpha Modus competitors with a new forum to centrally revoke Europeanpatents and allow for the possibility of a competitor to obtain pan-European injunctions.It will be several years before AlphaModus will understand the scope of patent rights that will be recognized and the stre
209、ngth of patent remedies that will be providedby the UPC.Under the EU Patent Package,Alpha Modus will have the right to opt patents out of the UPC over the first seven yearsof the courts existence,but doing so may preclude Alpha Modus from realizing the benefits of the new unified court.Patent litiga
210、tion is inherently risky because courts may find Alpha Modus patents invalid,not infringed,or unenforceable,andthe USPTO,or other relevant patent office,may either invalidate Alpha Modus patents or materially narrow the scope of theirclaims during the course of a reexamination,opposition or other su
211、ch proceeding.Patent litigation is inherently risky and may result in the invalidation of Alpha Modus patents,even if it is the plaintiff in anunderlying action.It is difficult to predict the outcome of patent enforcement litigation at any level.Although Alpha Modus intendsto diligently pursue enfor
212、cement litigation,it cannot predict with significant reliability the decisions made by juries and trial courts.At the trial level,it is often difficult for juries and trial judges to understand complex,patented technologies,and as a result,there isa higher rate of successful appeals in patent enforc
213、ement litigation than more standard business litigation.The defendant to any case Alpha Modus brings may file as many appeals as allowed by right,including to District Court,theFederal Circuit and the Supreme Court.Such appeals are expensive and time-consuming,and the outcomes of such appeals aresom
214、etimes unpredictable,resulting in increased costs and reduced or delayed revenue which could have a material adverse effecton Alpha Modus results of operations and financial condition.These appeals may also result in the invalidation of Alpha Moduspatents,which may have an adverse impact on Alpha Mo
215、dus operations and financial performance.The enforcement of Alpha Modus intellectual property rights depends in part upon its ability to retain the best legal counsel inorder to achieve favorable outcomes from litigation,and Alpha Modus desired legal counsel may become conflicted out of suchrepresen

217、 difficult to find the best legal counsel to handle all of its patent enforcement mattersdue in part to potential conflicts of interest.This is because,from time to time,the counterparties to litigation matters havepreviously engaged world class law firms that are specialized in connection with the
218、industries of the patents at issue in suchmatters.These previous engagements may have,or may in the future,result in these firms being conflicted out of representing us.In addition,counterparties in Alpha Modus patent litigation matters may devote a substantial amount of resources to avoid orlimit a
219、 finding that they are liable for infringing on Alpha Modus patents or,in the event liability is found,to avoid or limit theamount of associated damages.There is a risk these counterparties may file inter-partes reviews,reexaminations or otherproceedings with the USPTO or other government agencies i
220、n the United States or abroad in an attempt to invalidate,narrow thescope or render unenforceable the patents Alpha Modus owns or controls.If this were to occur,it may have a significant negativeimpact on Alpha Modus intellectual property.2025/5/21 15:49sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1862463/0001641172

222、ources or other adverse effects which could encumberAlpha Modus ability to effectively operate its business or execute its business strategy.Alpha Modus cannot provide any assurancethat any prospective patent prosecution or litigation matters will result in a favorable outcome.Alpha Modus may experi
223、ence delays in successful prosecution,enforcement,and licensing of its patent portfolio.The value of Alpha Modus patent portfolios is dependent upon the issuance of patents in a timely manner.More patentapplications are filed each year.Alpha Modus believes this increase in patent applications has re
224、sulted in longer delays in obtainingapproval of pending patent applications.If the USPTO experiences reductions in funding,it could have an adverse impact on thecost of processing pending patent applications and the value of those pending patent applications,negatively impacting the value ofAlpha Mo
225、dus patent applications.Further,reductions in funding from Congress could result in higher patent application filing andmaintenance fees charged by the USPTO,causing an increase in Alpha Modus expenses.Application delays could cause delays inrecognizing revenue from these patents and could cause Alp
226、ha Modus to miss opportunities to license patents before othercompeting technologies are developed or introduced into the market.After prosecuting Alpha Modus patents,Alpha Modus intellectual property business can incur significant general andadministrative and legal expenses prior to entering into
227、license agreements and generating license revenues.Alpha Modus plans tospend considerable resources educating prospective licensees on the benefits of a license arrangement with it.As such,AlphaModus may incur significant losses in any particular period before any associated revenue stream begins.10

229、ets,ordetermine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others.Enforcement proceedings are typically protracted and complex.The costs are typically substantial,and the outcomes are unpredictable.Enforcement actions divert managerial,technical,legal andfinancial resources from business op
230、erations,and there are no assurances that such enforcement actions will result in favorableresults for Alpha Modus.Patent litigation schedules in general,and in particular trial dates,are subject to routine adjustment,and in most cases delay,ascourts adjust their calendars or respond to requests fro
231、m one or more parties.Trial dates often are rescheduled by the court forvarious reasons that are often unrelated to the underlying patent assets and typically for reasons that are beyond our control.As aresult,to the extent such events are an indicator of possible future revenue opportunities for Al
232、pha Modus,or other outcomedeterminative events,they may and often do change which can result in delay of the expected scheduled event.Any such delaycould be significant and could affect the corresponding future revenue opportunities,thus adversely impacting Alpha Modusbusiness,results of operations
233、and financial condition.Further,federal courts are becoming more crowded,and as a result,patent enforcement litigation is taking longer.AlphaModus anticipated patent enforcement actions are expected to be almost exclusively prosecuted in federal court.Federal trialcourts that hear patent enforcement
234、 actions also hear criminal cases.Criminal cases tend to take priority over patent enforcementactions.As a result,it is difficult to predict the length of time it will take to complete an enforcement action.Moreover,AlphaModus believes there is a trend in increasing numbers of civil lawsuits and cri
235、minal proceedings before federal judges,and,as aresult,it believes that the risk of delays in patent enforcement actions will have a greater negative effect on Alpha Modus businessin the future unless this trend changes.Because Alpha Modus patents are expected to expire in 2034-2037,its continued op
236、erations beyond those dates will depend onits ability to obtain additional patents with later expiration dates.Alpha Modus current patents are expected to expire in 2034-2037.If Alpha Modus does not obtain patents or other intellectualproperty with expiration dates that extend beyond those years,its
237、 operations would be adversely affected.Alpha Modus lack of patent enforcement and licensing experience could adversely affect its operations.Alpha Modus has limited patent enforcement experience and cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to effectivelymanage patent enforcement efforts.Pa
238、tent enforcement litigation is complex and needs to be closely and carefully managed.Because Alpha Modus does not have experience in managing patent enforcement efforts,it may not do so effectively,and itsenforcement efforts could be harmed as a result.Similarly,Alpha Modus has limited experience ma
239、naging intellectual propertylicensing programs,and this lack of experience could impair its ability to execute its business plans.Alpha Modus may not be able to protect its intellectual property rights throughout the world.Filing,prosecuting,and defending patents in all countries throughout the worl
240、d would be prohibitively expensive,andintellectual property rights in some countries outside the United States could be less extensive than those in the United States.Alpha Modus may not choose,or be able,to obtain patent protection outside the United States.In addition,the laws of someforeign count
241、ries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as federal and state laws in the United States,even injurisdictions where Alpha Modus does pursue patent protection.Consequently,Alpha Modus may not be able to prevent thirdparties from practicing its intellectual property in all co
242、untries outside the United States,even in jurisdictions where it does pursuepatent protection.Competitors may use Alpha Modus technologies in jurisdictions where it has not pursued and obtained patent protection and,further,may export otherwise infringing products to territories where Alpha Modus ha
243、s patent protection,but enforcement is not asstrong as that in the United States.These products may compete with Alpha Modus technologies.Alpha Modus patents or otherintellectual property rights may not be effective or sufficient to prevent them from competing.Many companies have encountered signifi
244、cant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in foreignjurisdictions.The legal systems of certain countries,particularly certain developing countries,do not favor the enforcement ofpatents,trade secrets,and other intellectual property protection,particularly those relating
245、to technology products,which couldmake it difficult for Alpha Modus to stop infringement of its intellectual property.Proceedings to enforce patent rights in foreignjurisdictions could result in substantial costs and divert Alpha Modus efforts and attention from other aspects of its business,couldpu
246、t its patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and patent applications at risk of not issuing,and could provokethird parties to assert claims against it.Alpha Modus may not prevail in any lawsuits that it initiates,and the damages or otherremedies awarded,if any,may not be commer
247、cially meaningful.Accordingly,Alpha Modus efforts to enforce intellectual propertyrights around the world may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial advantage from its intellectual property.Many countries have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner may be compelled to grant l
248、icenses to thirdparties.In addition,many countries limit the enforceability of patents against government agencies or government contractors.In2025/5/21 15:49sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1862463/000164117225011553/forms-1a.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1862463/000164117225011553/forms-1a.
249、htm23/175these countries,the patent owner may have limited remedies,which could materially diminish the value of such patent.If AlphaModus is forced to grant a license to third parties with respect to any of its patents,its competitive position may be impaired,andits business,financial condition,res
250、ults of operations,and prospects may be adversely affected.Risks Related to Being a Public Company Alpha Modus will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company,and its management will devotesubstantial time to compliance with its public company responsibilities and corporate g
251、overnance practices.Alpha Modus will incur significant legal,accounting and other expenses that it did not incur as a private company,and theseexpenses may increase even more after Alpha Modus is no longer an emerging growth company,as defined in Section 2(a)of theSecurities Act.As a public company,

253、uding the establishment andmaintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and changes in corporate governance practices.Alpha Modusmanagement and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these public company requirements.Moreover,Alpha Modus expects these rules
254、 and regulations to substantially increase its legal and financial compliance costs and tomake some activities more time-consuming and costly.The increased costs will increase Alpha Modus net loss.Alpha Modus mayneed to hire additional legal,accounting and financial staff with appropriate public com
