EXPLANATORY NOTE

This registration statement contains two prospectuses, as set forth below.

The Company has included in this registration statement a set of alternate pages after the back cover page of the Public Offering Prospectus (the “Alternate Pages”) to reflect the foregoing differences in the Resale Prospectus as compared to the Public Offering Prospectus. The Public Offering Prospectus will exclude the Alternate Pages and will be used for the public offering by the Company. The Resale Prospectus will be substantively identical to the Public Offering Prospectus except for the addition or substitution of the Alternate Pages, and such other changes as may be necessary to clarify references to the public offering or the resale offering and will be used for the resale offering by the Selling Stockholders.

THE INFORMATION IN THIS PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS IS NOT COMPLETE AND MAY BE CHANGED. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD UNTIL THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION IS DECLARED EFFECTIVE. THIS PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS IS NOT AN OFFER TO SELL THESE SECURITIES AND WE ARE NOT SOLICITING AN OFFER TO BUY THESE SECURITIES IN ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION WHERE THE OFFER OR SALE IS NOT PERMITTED.

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

Up to [ ] Shares of Common Stock

Up to [ ] Pre-Funded Warrants to Purchase Shares of Common Stock

Up to [ ] Series A Warrants to Purchase Shares of Common Stock

Up to [ ] Series B Warrants to Purchase Shares of Common Stock

Up to [ ] Shares of Common Stock Underlying the Series A Warrants, Series B

Warrants, and Pre-Funded Warrants

Algorhythm Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “Algorhythm,” the “registrant,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is offering up to [ ] shares of the Company’s common stock, together with Series A warrants to purchase up to [ ] shares of common stock (the “Series A Warrants”) and Series B warrants to purchase up to [ ] shares of common stock (the “Series B Warrants” and, together with the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”). Each share of our common stock, or a pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof, is being sold together with a Series A Warrant to purchase one share of our common stock and a Series B Warrant to purchase one share of our common stock. The shares of common stock and Warrants are immediately separable and will be issued separately in this offering but must be purchased together in this offering.

The assumed public offering price for each share of common stock and accompanying Warrants is $[ ], which was the last reported sale price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on [ ], 2024. The Series A Warrants will have an exercise price of $[ ] per share (at least [ ]% of the Minimum Price as defined by the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”)) and will be exercisable beginning on the date of completion of the requisite waiting period following the filing of a Proxy Statement related to the approval by the stockholders of the Company (the “Initial Exercise Date” or “Effective Shareholder Approval Date” or Initial Exercise Date) of the issuance of shares upon exercise of the Warrants, among other things (the “Shareholder Approval”). The Series A Warrants will expire on the five-year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date. The Series B Warrants will have an exercise price of $[ ] per share (and shall not exceed 200% of the Minimum Price as defined by the rules of Nasdaq) and will be exercisable beginning on the Effective Shareholder Approval Date. The Series B Warrants will expire on the two and one-half year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date.

Under the alternate cashless exercise option of the Series B Warrants, the holder of the Series B Warrant has the right to receive an aggregate number of shares equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of common stock that would be issuable upon a cashless exercise of the Series B Warrant and (y) in addition, beginning on the Effective Shareholder Approval Date, the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants will contain a reset of the exercise price to a price equal to the lesser of (i) the then exercise price and (ii) lowest volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) during the period commencing five trading days immediately preceding and the five trading days commencing on the date we effect a reverse stock split in the future with a proportionate adjustment to the number of shares underlying the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants, among other adjustments. Additionally, the Series A Warrants will provide for an adjustment to the exercise price and number of shares underlying the Series A Warrants upon our issuance of our common stock or common stock equivalents at a price per share that is less than the exercise price of the Series A Warrant, subject to certain exceptions.

Finally, on the 11th trading day after the Effective Shareholder Approval Date, the Warrants’ exercise price will be reset to a price equal to the lower of (i) the exercise price then in effect and (ii) the greater of (a) the lowest daily volume weighted average price during the period commencing on the first trading day after the Effective Shareholder Approval Date and ending following the close of trading on the 10th trading day thereafter and (b) the floor price set forth in the Warrants, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise will be increased such that the aggregate exercise price of the Warrants on the issuance date for the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants then outstanding shall remain unchanged.

Any reduction to the exercise prices of the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants and resulting increase in the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants will be subject to a floor price equal to 50% of the Minimum Price as defined by the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) prior to the Effective Shareholder Approval Date, and 20% of the Minimum Price beginning on the Effective Shareholder Approval Date. Following the Effective Shareholder Approval Date, the exercise price reduction and adjustment provisions with respect to underlying shares of common stock in the Warrants described above will be effected using the reduced floor price.

Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “RIME.” The last reported sale price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on November 11, 2024 was $0.3382 per share. The actual public offering price per each set of a share of common stock and accompanying Warrants in this offering will be determined between us, Univest Securities, LLC (the “placement agent”) and the investors in this offering at the time of pricing and may reflect a discount to the current market price for our common stock. Therefore, the recent market price used throughout this preliminary prospectus as a basis for an assumed public offering price per share of common stock and accompanying Warrants may not be indicative of the final offering price.

We have engaged Univest Securities, LLC to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with this offering. The placement agent has agreed to use its 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 offering requirement as a condition of closing of this offering. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing this offering, 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 in the event that we do not sell an amount of securities sufficient to pursue our business goals described in this prospectus. See “Risk Factors” at page 9. We will bear all costs associated with the offering. See “Plan of Distribution” on page 68 of this prospectus for more information regarding these arrangements.

We are also offering to each purchaser of shares that would otherwise result in the purchaser’s beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% of our outstanding common stock immediately following the consummation of this offering, the opportunity to purchase pre-funded warrants each in lieu of one share of common stock, each a “Pre-Funded Warrant”). Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of Pre-Funded Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its Pre-Funded Warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, such limit may be increased to up to 9.99% on at least 61 days’ notice) of the number of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. Each Pre-Funded Warrant will be exercisable for one share of common stock. The purchase price of each Pre-Funded Warrant will be equal to the price per share minus $0.01, and the remaining exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrant will equal $0.01 per share. The Pre-Funded Warrants will be immediately exercisable (subject to the beneficial ownership limitation) and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. For each share we sell (without regard to any limitation on exercise set forth therein), the number of shares we are offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis.

There is no established public trading market for the Warrants or the Pre-Funded Warrants, and we do not intend to list the Warrants or the Pre-Funded Warrants on any national securities exchange or trading system. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants will be limited. We anticipate that the shares of our common stock to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants will trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

We will have one closing for all the securities purchased in this offering. The offering will terminate upon the completion of a single closing, which is expected to occur on or about [ ], 2024. The public offering price per share (or Pre-Funded Warrant) and the accompanying Warrants will be fixed for the duration of this offering. The termination of our offering will not affect the offering by the Selling Stockholders described elsewhere in this prospectus.

We may sell fewer than all 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. We have not established an escrow account in conjunction with this offering. 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.

In addition, the selling stockholders (the “Selling Stockholders”) are offering an aggregate of 2,840,344 shares of common stock to be sold pursuant to a separate resale prospectus (the “Resale Prospectus”) included in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale or other disposition of shares by the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to the sale or other disposition of the shares. We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the Selling Stockholders’ shares.

Investing in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 9 of this prospectus for a discussion of information that should be considered in connection with an investment in our common stock.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The delivery to purchasers of securities in this offering is expected to be made on or about , 2024, subject to satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions.
