Oblong, Inc.

A description of the risks associated with our business, financial conditions, and results of operations is set forth in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our 2024 Annual Report. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to these risks during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The risks described in the 2024 Annual Report are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or future results.

***We rely on a limited number of customers for a significant portion of our revenue, and the loss of any one of those customers, or several of our smaller customers, could materially harm our business.***A significant portion of our revenue is generated from a limited number of customers. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, one major customer accounted for 81% and 82% of the Company’s total consolidated revenue, respectively. The composition of our significant customers will vary from period to period, and we expect that most of our revenue will continue, for the foreseeable future, to come from a relatively small number of customers. Consequently, our financial results may fluctuate significantly from period to period based on the actions of one or more significant customers. A customer may take actions that affect the Company for reasons that we cannot anticipate or control, such as reasons related to the customer’s financial condition, changes in the customer’s business strategy or operations, changes in technology and the introduction of alternative competing products, or as the result of the perceived quality or cost-effectiveness of our products. Our agreements with these customers may be canceled if we materially breach the agreement or for other reasons outside our control, such as insolvency or financial hardship that may result in a customer filing for bankruptcy court protection against unsecured creditors. If our customers were to experience losses due to a depository institution’s failure to return their deposits, it could expose us to an increased risk of nonpayment under our contracts with them. In addition, our customers may seek to renegotiate the terms of current agreements or renewals. The loss of or a reduction in sales or anticipated sales to our most significant or several of our smaller customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.

The issuance of the securities in the 2023 Private Placement and the 2025 Private Placement significantly diluted the ownership interest of the existing holders of our Common Stock, and the market price of our Common Stock will likely decline significantly as a result of sales of such securities into the public market by the selling stockholders and subsequent investors or the perception that such sales may occur. Our existing holders of Common Stock have been significantly diluted by the issuance of the securities in the 2023 Private Placement, and would be subject to additional dilution as a result of the conversion of those securities and the securities issued in the 2025 Private Placement into shares of Common Stock. Our public float was significantly increased and the market price of our Common Stock could decline significantly as a result of subsequent sales of the shares of Common Stock issued, or underlying the securities issued in the 2023 Private Placement and the 2025 Private Placement, which could occur at any time, or the perception that such sales may occur.

-37-

In addition, the exercise price or conversion price of these securities may be at prices below the current and/or then trading prices of shares of our Common Stock or at prices below the price at which our existing shareholders purchased our Common Stock. The selling stockholders may potentially make a significant profit with the resale of the securities depending on the trading price of our securities at the time of a sale and the purchase price of such securities by them. While the selling stockholders may experience a positive rate of return based on the trading price of our securities, the existing holders of our Common Stock may not experience a similar rate of return on the shares of Common Stock they purchased due to differences in the applicable purchase price and trading price.

***Future issuances of equity or debt securities by us may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.***Our authorized share capital consists of 150 million shares of Common Stock. As of the filing of this prospectus, we had an aggregate of approximately 148.4 million shares of Common Stock authorized but unissued, and approximately 20.7 million shares of Common Stock authorized but unissued after giving effect to the exercise or conversion, as applicable, of the securities issued in the 2023 Private Placement and the 2025 Private Placement and outstanding awards, assuming all of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock are converted into 94,165 shares of Common Stock at the conversion price of $3.77, all of the Preferred Warrants are exercised in full and the underlying shares of Series F Preferred Stock are converted into 8,249,866 shares of Common Stock at the conversion price of $3.77, all of the 8,249,866 Common Warrants issued upon the exercise of the Preferred Warrants are then exercised at an exercise price of $3.77 in exchange for 8,249,866 shares of Common Stock, all of the Common Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants issued in the 2023 Private Placement are exercised at an exercise price of $3.41438 for 1,867,339 shares of Common Stock, all the Pre-Funded Warrants issued in 2025 Private Placement are exercised at an exercise price of $3.77 for 1,989,392 shares of Common Stock, all of the Placement Agent Warrants issued in the 2025 Private Placement are exercised at an exercise price of $4.7125 for 99,470 share of Common Stock, and the Advisor Warrants are exercised at an exercise price of $3.77 for 100,000 shares of Common Stock. Additionally, depending on the trading prices of our Common Stock, we may need to issue more or fewer shares of Common Stock in connection with the exercise of the Preferred Warrants. If we do not have the shares of Common Stock available to issue in connection with such exercises, we will be required to provide the exercising holder a buy-in of cash.

In the future, we may attempt to obtain financing or to increase further our capital resources, or refinance existing obligations, by issuing additional shares of our Common Stock or offering debt or other equity securities, including commercial paper, medium-term notes, senior or subordinated notes, debt securities convertible into equity or shares of preferred stock. Future acquisitions could require substantial additional capital in excess of cash from operations. There can be no guarantee that these offers to exchange will be successful. In addition, we also expect to issue additional shares in connection with exercise of our stock options under our incentive plans.

-38-

Issuing additional shares of our Common Stock or other equity securities or securities convertible into equity for financing or in connection with our incentive plans, acquisitions or otherwise may dilute the economic and voting rights of our existing shareholders or reduce the market price of our Common Stock or both. Upon liquidation, holders of our debt securities and preferred shares, if issued, and lenders with respect to other borrowings would receive a distribution of our available assets prior to the holders of our Common Stock. Debt securities convertible into equity could be subject to adjustments in the conversion ratio pursuant to which certain events may increase the number of equity securities issuable upon conversion. Preferred shares, if issued, could have a preference with respect to liquidating distributions or a preference with respect to dividend payments that could limit our ability to pay dividends to the holders of our Common Stock. Our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, which may adversely affect the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings. Thus, holders of our Common Stock bear the risk that our future offerings may reduce the market price of our Common Stock and dilute their stockholdings in us. Additionally, we may be required to secure stockholder approval to authorize additional shares of Common Stock if we desire to issue additional shares of Common Stock or other equity securities or securities convertible into equity.

***The market price of our Common Stock could decline due to the large number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock that may become available for future sale.***Sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market in future offerings, including sales relating to the Warrant Shares and Conversion Shares, or the perception that these sales could occur, could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline. These sales could also make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future, at a time and price that we deem appropriate. In addition, the additional sale of our Common Stock by our officers or directors in the public market, or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline.

We may issue shares of our Common Stock or other securities from time to time as consideration for, or to finance, future acquisitions, investments, debt-for-equity exchanges or for other capital needs. We cannot predict the size of future issuances of our shares or the effect, if any, that future sales and issuances of shares would have on the market price of our Common Stock. If any such acquisition or investment is significant, the number of shares of Common Stock or the number or aggregate principal amount, as the case may be, of other securities that we may issue may in turn be substantial and may result in additional dilution to our shareholders. We may also grant registration rights covering shares of our Common Stock or other securities that we may issue in connection with any such acquisitions and investments.

***We may not be able to comply with all applicable listing requirements or standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market and Nasdaq could delist our Common Stock.***Our Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other continued listing requirements and standards.

In the event that we are unable to maintain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and cannot re-establish compliance within the required timeframe, our Common Stock could be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, and which would cause the value of our Common Stock to decline. If our Common Stock is not eligible for listing or quotation on another market or exchange, trading of our Common Stock could be conducted in the over-the-counter market or on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the Pink Sheets or the OTC Bulletin Board. In such event, it would become more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate price quotations for, our Common Stock, and there would likely be a reduction in our coverage by security analysts and the news media, which could cause the price of our Common Stock to decline further. In addition, it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital if we are not listed on a national securities exchange.

While Nasdaq rules do not impose a specific limit on the number of times a listed company may effect a reverse stock split to maintain or regain compliance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), Nasdaq has stated that a series of reverse stock splits may undermine investor confidence in securities listed on Nasdaq. Accordingly, Nasdaq may determine that it is not in the public interest to maintain our listing, even if we regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) as a result of any reverse stock split. In addition, under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), if a company’s securities again fail to meet the Bid Price Rule and the company has effected a reverse stock split within the prior one-year period, or has effected one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one, the company will not be eligible for an automatic 180-day grace compliance period. Instead, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department will immediately issue a delisting determination, unless the company timely appeals the decision to a Hearings Panel. Because we effected a 1-for-40 reverse stock split on August 23, 2024, if we were to fall out of compliance with the Bid Price Rule prior to August 23, 2025, we would not be eligible for an automatic compliance period and would immediately be issued a delisting determination, subject to our right of timely appeal.

Holders of our Series F Preferred Stock will have no rights with respect to our Common Stock until the Series F Preferred Stock is converted, but may be adversely affected by certain changes made with respect to our Common Stock. Holders of our Series F Preferred Stock will have no rights with respect to our Common Stock, including voting rights, rights to respond to Common Stock tender offers, if any, and rights to receive dividends or other distributions on shares of our Common Stock, if any (other than through a conversion rate adjustment), prior to the conversion date with respect to a conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock, but holders' investment in the Series F Preferred Stock may be negatively affected by these events. Upon conversion, holders will be entitled to exercise the rights of a holder of shares of our Common Stock only as to matters for which the record date occurs on or after the conversion date. For example, in the event that an amendment is proposed to our certificate of incorporation or bylaws requiring shareholder approval and the record date for determining the shareholders of record entitled to vote on the amendment occurs prior to the conversion date, Series F holders will not be entitled to vote on the amendment (unless it would adversely affect the special rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers of the Series F Preferred Stock), although they will nevertheless be subject to any changes in the powers, preferences or special rights of our Common Stock, even if your Series F Preferred Stock has been converted into shares of our Common Stock prior to the effective date of such change.

***Holders of our Series F Preferred Stock may have to pay taxes if we adjust the conversion ratio of the Series F Preferred Stock in certain circumstances, even though holders would not receive any cash.***Upon certain adjustments to (or certain failures to make adjustments to) the conversion ratio of the Series F Preferred Stock, holders may be deemed to have received a dividend distribution from us, resulting in taxable income to them for U.S. federal income tax purposes, even though holders would not receive any cash in connection with such adjustment to (or failure to adjust) the conversion ratio. If a holder is a non-U.S. holder of the Series F Preferred Stock, any deemed dividend distribution may be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a 30% rate, or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable treaty. Please consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an adjustment to the conversion ratio of the Series F Preferred Stock.

***We own and might purchase additional digital assets, the price of which has been, and will likely continue to be, highly volatile.***We currently own and expect to purchase digital assets in the future. Digital assets generally are highly volatile assets. In addition, digital assets do not pay interest or other returns and so the ability to generate a return on investment from the net proceeds from this offering will depend on whether there is appreciation in the value of digital assets following our purchases of digital assets with the net proceeds from this offering. Future fluctuations in digital asset trading prices may result in our converting digital assets purchased into cash with a value substantially below the purchase price.

***If any of the digital assets that we hold are classified as a security, we may be subject to extensive regulation, which could result in significant costs or force us to cease certain operations.***Regulatory changes or interpretations that classify digital assets that we hold as a security under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), could require us to register and comply with additional regulations. Compliance with these requirements could impose extraordinary, non-recurring expenses on our business. If the costs and regulatory burdens become too great, we may be forced to modify or cease certain operations, which could be detrimental to our investors.

-41-

If the SEC or other regulators determine that digital assets that we may hold qualify as securities, we may be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. This classification would subject us to additional periodic reporting, disclosure requirements, and regulatory compliance obligations, significantly increasing our operational costs.

***Changes in regulatory interpretations could require us to register as a money services business or money transmitter, leading to increased compliance costs or operational shutdowns.***If regulatory changes or interpretations require us to register as a money services business with FinCEN under the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act, or as a money transmitter under state laws, we may be subject to extensive regulatory requirements, resulting in significant compliance costs and operational burdens. In such a case, we may incur extraordinary expenses to meet these requirements or, alternatively, may determine that continued operations are not viable. If we decide to cease certain operations in response to new regulatory obligations, such actions could occur at a time that is unfavorable to investors.

-42-

Multiple states have implemented or proposed regulatory frameworks for digital asset businesses. Compliance with such state-specific regulations may increase costs or impact our business operations. Furthermore, if we or our service providers are unable to comply with evolving federal or state regulations, we may be forced to dissolve or liquidate certain operations, which could materially impact our investors.

The classification of digital assets that we hold as a commodity could subject us to additional CFTC regulation, resulting in significant compliance costs or the cessation of certain operations. If our activities require CFTC registration, we may be required to comply with extensive regulatory obligations, which could result in significant costs and operational disruptions. Additionally, current and future legislative or regulatory developments, including new CFTC interpretations, could further impact how digital assets are classified and traded.

***We are not subject to legal and regulatory obligations that apply to investment companies such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, or to obligations applicable to investment advisers.***Mutual funds, ETFs and their directors and management are subject to extensive regulation as “investment companies” and “investment advisers” under U.S. federal and state law; this regulation is intended for the benefit and protection of investors. We are not subject to, and do not otherwise voluntarily comply with, these laws and regulations. This means, among other things, that the execution of our changes to our digital asset strategy, our use of leverage, our ability to engage in transactions with affiliated parties and our operating and investment activities generally are not subject to the extensive legal and regulatory requirements and prohibitions that apply to investment companies and investment advisers.

-43-

***Due to the unregulated nature and lack of transparency surrounding the operations of many digital asset trading venues, digital asset trading venues may experience greater fraud, security failures or regulatory or operational problems than trading venues for more established asset classes, which may result in a loss of confidence in digital asset trading venues and adversely affect the value of digital assets.***Digital asset trading venues are relatively new and, in many cases, unregulated. Furthermore, there are many digital asset trading venues that do not provide the public with significant information regarding their ownership structure, management teams, corporate practices and regulatory compliance. As a result, the marketplace may lose confidence in digital asset trading venues, including prominent exchanges that handle a significant volume of such trading and/or are subject to regulatory oversight, in the event one or more digital asset trading venues cease or pause for a prolonged period the trading of digital assets, or experience fraud, significant volumes of withdrawal, security failures or operational problems.

***Our historical financial statements do not reflect the potential variability in earnings that we may experience in the future relating to our proposed holdings of digital assets.***Our historical financial statements do not fully reflect the potential variability in earnings that we may experience in the future from holding or selling digital assets. The price of digital assets generally has historically been subject to dramatic price fluctuations and is highly volatile. We will need to perform an analysis each quarter to identify whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that our digital assets are impaired. As a result, volatility in our earnings may be significantly more than what we experienced in prior periods.

-44-

***Digital asset holdings are less liquid than cash and cash equivalents and may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for us to the same extent as cash and cash equivalents.***Historically, the digital asset market has been characterized by significant volatility in price, limited liquidity and trading volumes compared to sovereign currencies markets, relative anonymity, a developing regulatory landscape, potential susceptibility to market abuse and manipulation, compliance and internal control failures at exchanges, and various other risks inherent in its entirely electronic, virtual form and decentralized network. During times of market instability, we may not be able to sell our digital assets at favorable prices or at all. As a result, digital asset holdings may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for us to the same extent as cash and cash equivalents. Further, digital assets we hold with our custodians and transact with our trade execution partners does not enjoy the same protections as are available to cash or securities deposited with or transacted by institutions subject to regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Additionally, we may be unable to enter into term loans or other capital raising transactions collateralized by our unencumbered digital assets or otherwise generate funds using our digital asset holdings, including in particular during times of market instability or when the price of digital assets has declined significantly. If we are unable to sell our digital assets, enter into additional capital raising transactions, including capital raising transactions using bitcoin as collateral, or otherwise generate funds using our bitcoin holdings, or if we are forced to sell our digital assets at a significant loss, in order to meet our working capital requirements, our business and financial condition could be negatively impacted.

***Digital asset lending arrangements may expose us to risks of borrower default, operational failures and cybersecurity threats.***From time to time, we may generate income through lending of digital assets, which carries significant risks. The volatility of such digital assets increases the likelihood that borrowers may default due to market downturns, liquidity crises, fraud or other financial distress. These lending transactions may be unsecured, and so may be subordinated to secured debt of the borrower. If a borrower becomes insolvent, we may be unable to recover the loaned digital asset, leading to substantial financial losses.

We may suffer losses due to staking, delegating, and other related services. Crypto assets which utilize PoS consensus mechanisms enable holders to earn rewards by participating in decentralized governance, bookkeeping and transaction confirmation activities on their underlying blockchain networks. We stake certain of our crypto assets on blockchain networks through BitGo. Most PoS networks require crypto assets to be transferred into smart contracts on the underlying blockchain networks not under our or anyone’s control. If any third-party service providers, or smart contracts fail to behave as expected, suffer cybersecurity attacks, experience security issues, or encounter other problems, our crypto assets may be irretrievably lost. In addition, most PoS blockchain networks dictate requirements for participation in the relevant decentralized governance activity, and may impose penalties, or “slashing,” if the relevant activities are not performed correctly, such as if the node operator acts maliciously on the network, “double signs” any transactions, or experiences extended downtimes. Slashing penalties can apply due to prolonged inactivity on a blockchain network and inadvertent errors such as computing or hardware issues, as well as more serious behavior such as intentional malfeasance. If we are slashed by an underlying blockchain network, our crypto assets may be confiscated, withdrawn, or burnt by the network, resulting in permanent and irrecoverable losses that could materially impact our financial position. Any penalties or slashing events could damage our brand and reputation, cause us to suffer financial losses, and adversely impact our business.

-45-

***Intellectual property disputes related to digital asset technology could threaten our ability to operate.***The legal landscape for digital assets remains uncertain, and third parties may assert intellectual property claims related to blockchain technology, digital asset transactions or source code. Any litigation, regardless of its merit, could create uncertainty about the long-term viability of digital asset networks and reduce investor confidence in our business. If a court upholds an intellectual property claim, we and other market participants could be restricted from accessing certain digital asset networks or conducting transactions, which could materially impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***The lack of legal recourse and insurance for digital assets increases the risk of total loss in the event of theft or destruction.***Digital assets that we acquire will not be not insured against theft, loss or destruction. If an event occurs where we lose our digital assets, whether due to cyberattacks, fraud or other malicious activities, we may not have any viable legal recourse or ability to recover the lost assets. Unlike funds held in insured banking institutions, our digital assets are not protected by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. If our digital assets are lost under circumstances that render another party liable, there is no guarantee that the responsible party will have the financial resources to compensate us. As a result, we and our stockholders could face significant financial losses.

-46-

***If we or our third-party service providers experience a security breach or cyberattack and unauthorized parties obtain access to our digital assets, or if our private keys are lost or destroyed, or other similar circumstances or events occur, we may lose some or all of our digital assets and our financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.***The digital assets we may purchase may be held in accounts at institutional-grade digital asset custodians. Blockchain-based cryptocurrencies and the entities that provide services to the participants in the cryptocurrency ecosystem have been, and may in the future be, subject to security breaches, cyberattacks, or other malicious activities. For example, in November 2022, hackers exploited weaknesses in the security architecture of the FTX Trading digital asset exchange and reportedly stole over $400 million in digital assets from customers. A successful security breach or cyberattack could result in:

•a partial or total loss of digital assets that we may purchase in a manner that may not be covered by insurance or the liability provisions of the custody agreements with the custodians who may hold our digital assets;

•harm to our reputation and brand;

Further, any actual or perceived data security breach or cybersecurity attack directed at other companies with digital assets or companies that operate digital asset networks, regardless of whether we are directly impacted, could lead to a general loss of confidence in the broader blockchain ecosystem or in the use of digital asset networks to conduct financial transactions, which could negatively impact us.

***The irreversibility of digital asset transactions exposes us to risks of theft, loss and human error, which could negatively impact our business.***Digital asset transactions are not, from an administrative perspective, reversible without the consent and active participation of the recipient of the transaction or, in theory, control or consent of a majority of the processing power on that digital asset network. Once a transaction has been verified and recorded in a block that is added to the blockchain, an incorrect transfer of digital assets or a theft of digital assets generally will not be reversible, and we may not be capable of seeking compensation for any such transfer or theft.

It is possible that, through computer or human error, or through theft or criminal action, digital assets could be transferred in incorrect amounts or to unauthorized third parties. To the extent we are unable to seek a corrective transaction to identify the third party which has received our digital assets through error or theft, we will be unable to revert or otherwise recover the impacted digital assets, and any such loss could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

-47-

If we fail to implement our new digital asset-related strategy, or if our digital asset-related strategy is ineffective, our financial performance could be materially and adversely affected. Our future financial performance and success are dependent in large part upon the effectiveness of our new business strategy related to the Bittensor ecosystem and digital asset holdings, and our ability to implement this strategy successfully. Implementation of our strategy will require effective management of our operational, financial, and human resources and will place significant demands on those resources. There are risks involved in pursuing our strategy. In addition to the risks set forth elsewhere in this Report, the effectiveness of and the successful implementation of our business strategy could also be affected by a number of factors beyond our control, such as legal developments, government regulation, general economic conditions, increased operating costs or expenses, and changes in industry trends. We may decide to alter or discontinue certain aspects of our business strategy at any time. If we are not able to implement our business strategy successfully, our long-term growth and profitability may be adversely affected. Even if we are able to implement some or all of the initiatives of our business strategy successfully, our operating results may not improve and could decline substantially.

***We may be unable to attract and retain qualified and skilled employees or consultants.***We operate in a relatively new industry that is not widely understood and requires highly skilled and technical personnel. We must be able to attract, develop, motivate, and retain highly qualified and skilled employees or consultants. Due to the nascent nature of the digital assets ecosystem, the pool of qualified talent is extremely limited, particularly with respect to executive talent with engineering, risk management, and financial regulatory expertise. We may face intense competition for qualified individuals from numerous software and other technology companies. To attract and retain key personnel or consultants, we could incur significant costs, including salaries and benefits and equity incentives. Even so, these measures may not be enough to attract and retain the personnel we require to operate our business effectively. A failure to attract, retain, and motivate additional highly skilled employees or consultants required for the planned expansion of our business-could adversely impact our operations and impair our ability to grow.
