Preliminary Prospectus dated December 12, 2024.
Veea Inc.
9,193,579 Shares of Common Stock
This prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time to time by White Lion Capital, LLC (“White Lion” or the “selling stockholder”) of up to 9,193,579 shares of common stock of Veea Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” or “Veea”), par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), that have been or may be issued by us to White Lion pursuant to that certain Common Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 2, 2024, by and between us and White Lion (the “ELOC Purchase Agreement”), establishing an equity line of credit. Such shares of our Common Stock include up to (i) 9,166,081 shares of Common Stock (assuming the shares to be issued are sold at a price of $2.73 per share) that we may elect, in our sole discretion, to issue and sell to White Lion, from time to time from and after the commencement date under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, and subject to applicable stock exchange rules and (ii) 27,498 shares of Common Stock issuable to White Lion as commitment shares under the ELOC Purchase Agreement (assuming a value of $2.73 per share).
The actual number of shares of our Common Stock issuable will vary depending on the then-current market price of shares of our Common Stock sold to the selling stockholder under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, but will not exceed the number set forth in the preceding sentences unless we file an additional registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), See “The White Lion Equity Financing” for a description of the ELOC Purchase Agreement and “Selling Stockholder” for additional information regarding White Lion.
We are registering the shares on behalf of the selling stockholder, to be offered and sold by it from time to time. We are not selling any securities under this prospectus, and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Common Stock by the selling stockholder pursuant to this prospectus. We may receive up to $25.0 million in aggregate gross proceeds from White Lion under the ELOC Purchase Agreement in connection with sales of the shares of our Common Stock pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement at varying purchase prices after the date of this prospectus. However, the actual proceeds from White Lion may be less than this amount depending on the number of shares of our Common Stock sold and the price at which the shares of our Common Stock are sold. The purchase price per share that White Lion will pay for shares of Common Stock purchased from us under the ELOC Purchase Agreement will fluctuate based on the market price of our shares at the time we elect to sell shares to White Lion and, further, to the extent that the Company sells shares of Common Stock under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, substantial amounts of shares could be issued and resold, which would cause dilution and may impact the Company’s stock price.
The selling securityholder can sell, under this prospectus, up to 9,193,579 shares of our Common Stock, constituting more than 25.7% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock as of December 10, 2024. Sales of a substantial number of our shares of Common Stock in the public market by the selling securityholder and/or by our other existing securityholders, or the perception that those sales might occur, could increase the volatility of and cause a significant decline in the market price of our securities and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. See “-Sales of a substantial number of our securities in the public market by the selling securityholder and/or by our existing securityholders could cause the price of our shares of Common Stock and Warrants to fall.”
All the securities offered in this prospectus by the selling securityholder may be resold for so long as the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, is available for use. The sale of all or a portion of the securities being offered in this prospectus could result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our securities. Despite such a decline in the public trading price, some of the selling securityholder may still experience a positive rate of return on the securities they purchased due to the price at which such selling securityholder initially purchased the securities.
We are registering the securities for resale pursuant to the selling securityholder’s registration rights under certain agreements between us, on the one hand, and the selling securityholder, on the other hand, subject to certain exceptions. Our registration of the securities covered by this prospectus does not mean that the selling securityholder will offer or sell any of the securities registered for resale.
We will bear all costs, expenses, and fees in connection with the registration of the shares of Common Stock. The selling securityholder may offer, sell or distribute all or a portion of its shares of Common Stock publicly or through private transactions at prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The selling securityholder will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to its sales of the shares of Common Stock. We provide more information about how the selling securityholder may sell the shares of Common Stock in the section titled “Plan of Distribution.” Our shares of Common Stock and public warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “VEEA” and “VEEAW” respectively. On December 10, 2024, the closing price of our Common Stock was $3.32 per share and the closing price for our Warrants was $0.1559 per warrant.
We are an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company” under the federal securities laws and will be subject to reduced disclosure and public reporting requirements. See “Summary - Emerging Growth Company”and“Summary - Smaller Reporting Company.”
Investing in shares of our securities involves risks that are described in the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 6 of this prospectus.
Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the securities to be issued under this prospectus or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
The date of this prospectus is December 12, 2024.
