Up to 14,492,753 Shares of Class B Common Stock
Pre-Funded Warrants to Purchase up to 14,492,753 Shares of Class B Common Stock
Warrants to Purchase up to 14,492,753 Shares of Class B Common Stock
Placement Agent Warrants to Purchase up to 1,014,493 Shares of Class B Common Stock
Up to 29,999,999 Shares of Class B Common Stock Issuable Upon Exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants
RICHTECH ROBOTICS INC.
This is a reasonable best efforts public offering of up to 14,492,753 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B common stock”), of Richtech Robotics Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 14,492,753 shares of Class B common stock (and the shares of Class B common stock that are issuable from time to time upon exercise of the Warrants) at an assumed combined offering price of $1.38 per share and accompanying Warrant, which was the last reported sale price of our Class B common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on August 23, 2024. We are also offering to each purchaser whose purchase of shares of Class B common stock in this offering would otherwise result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% of our outstanding Class B common stock immediately following the consummation of this offering, the opportunity to purchase, if the purchaser so chooses, pre-funded warrants (“Pre-Funded Warrants”), in lieu of shares of Class B common stock that would otherwise result in the purchaser’s beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% of our outstanding Class B common stock (or at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%). Each Pre-Funded Warrant will be exercisable for one share of our Class B common stock. The purchase price of each Pre-Funded Warrant will equal the price per share at which the shares of Class B common stock are being sold to the public in this offering, minus $0.00001, and the exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrant will be $0.00001 per share. This offering also relates to the shares of Class B common stock issuable upon exercise of any Pre-Funded Warrant and the Warrants sold in this offering. Each share of Class B common stock and each Pre-Funded Warrant is being sold together with a Warrant to purchase one share of our Class B common stock, at an exercise price of $[_] per share. For each Pre-Funded Warrant we sell, the number of shares of Class B common stock we are offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis. The Warrants will be exercisable immediately and will expire five years from the date of issuance. The shares of Class B common stock and Pre-Funded Warrant, and the accompanying Warrants, can only be purchased together in this offering but will be issued separately and will be immediately separable upon issuance.
There is no established public trading market for the Warrants or the Pre-Funded Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. We do not intend to apply for listing of the Warrants or the Pre-Funded Warrants on any securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants will be limited.
We have engaged Rodman & Renshaw LLC (the “Placement Agent”) to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with this offering. The Placement Agent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus. The Placement Agent is not purchasing or selling any of the securities we are offering and the Placement Agent is not required to arrange the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of securities. We have agreed to pay to the Placement Agent the Placement Agent fees set forth in the table below, which assumes that we sell all of the securities offered by this prospectus. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in escrow, trust or similar arrangement. There is no minimum number of shares of securities or minimum aggregate amount of proceeds that is a condition for this offering to close. We may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby, which may significantly reduce the amount of proceeds received by us, and investors in this offering will not receive a refund if we do not sell all of the securities offered hereby. Because there is no escrow account and no minimum number of securities or amount of proceeds, investors could be in a position where they have invested in us, but we have not raised sufficient proceeds in this offering to adequately fund the intended uses of the proceeds as described in this prospectus. We will bear all costs associated with the offering. See “Plan of Distribution” on page 33 of this prospectus for more information regarding these arrangements.
This offering will terminate on , 2024, unless we decide to terminate the offering (which we may do at any time in our discretion) prior to that date. We will have a single closing for all securities purchased in this offering and the combined public offering price per share of Class B common stock (or Pre-Funded Warrant in lieu thereof) and accompanying Warrant will be fixed for the duration of this offering. We will deliver the securities to be issued in connection with this offering delivery versus payment or receipt versus payment, as the case may be, upon receipt of investor funds received by us.
Our Class B common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “RR.” On August 23, 2024, the last reported sale price of our Class B common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market was $1.38 per share. The actual combined public offering price per share of Class B common stock or Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Warrant will be determined between us and investors based on market conditions at the time of pricing, and may be at a discount to the current market price of our Class B common stock. Therefore, the assumed combined public offering price used throughout this prospectus may not be indicative of the final combined public offering price.
You should read this prospectus, together with additional information described under the headings “*Incorporation of Certain Information By Reference”*and “Where You Can Find More Information,” carefully before you invest in any of our securities.
We are an “emerging growth company” as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and a “smaller reporting company”, and as such, we have elected to take advantage of certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus and future filings. Investing in our Class B common stock involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 12 of this prospectus for a discussion of information that should be considered in connection with an investment in our Class B common stock. See “Prospectus Summary — Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company” and “Prospectus Summary – Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company.”
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 12 of this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus for a discussion of risks that should be considered in connection with an investment in our securities.

| (1) | We have agreed to pay the Placement Agent a cash placement commission equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds raised in this offering. We have also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for its non-accountable expenses in the amount of $35,000 and for its legal fees and expenses and other out-of-pocket expenses in an amount of $100,000, and for its clearing expenses in the amount of $15,950. In addition, we have agreed to issue to the Placement Agent, or its designees, warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) as compensation in connection with this offering to purchase a number of shares of our Class B common stock equal to 7.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Class B common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants being offered at an exercise price equal to 125% of the combined public offering price per share of Class B common stock and accompanying Warrant. See “Plan of Distribution” for additional information about the compensation payable to the Placement Agent. |
| (2) | Because there is no minimum number of securities or amount of proceeds required as a condition to closing in this offering, the actual public offering amount, Placement Agent fees, and proceeds to us, if any, are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the total maximum offering amounts set forth above. We estimate the total expenses of this offering payable by us, excluding the Placement Agent fees, will be approximately $385,925. The amount of proceeds to us presented in this table does not give effect to any exercise of the Warrants offered hereby. |
The delivery of the securities to purchasers is expected to be made on or about [ ], 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
